to celebrate his happiness or to drown
his unhappiness. Sometimes it seems
as though every slightest event IN q
mans life has been made. the occasion
for taking a drink" Anything or
earth may be a reason for drinking
| The fact that there is no real reason
makes it easy to invent one. But
there is only one reason for selling
it. There is only one reason for per-
hitting the illegal sale of it. And
that reason is MONEY. The maker
and seller of booze doesn't care what
your reason for wanting moonshine
is. He doesn't particularly care
whether it does you any good or not
If he isn't too callous he may prefer
that his merchandise does not kill
you, and yet it doesn't matter very
much. It's so easy to find another
customer to take the place of the one
on whom the undertaken is operating
You may drop forever from the ranks
of prescription hounds or buyers of
the moon, today, and tomorrow an
other will take your place. Probably
he won't even wait until tomorrow.
He'll jump right in, grab the bottle
and glass from your dying hand, and
cheerfully start down the road he has
just seen you leave. And markers
and sellers of the stuff, the fellows
who produce it as cheaply as possible
not knowing or caring what it con-
tains, and sell it for all that the traf-
fic will bear, a. profits of from 100
to 1000 per cent, or merrily on their
way, raking in the shekels, trying
to monopolize the business, and they
wouldn't even donate jitney to help
pay your funeral expenses.
After all, where do you booze
hounds think you get off at? Did you
ever get any real benefit from the
use of alcoholic liquor in the old
days? Was John Barleycorn paying
his way when you associated with
him, before he left the ways of seem
ing responsibility and became an
outlaw. Did you ever break even in
play with him, let alone coming out
ahead? I'll say you did not, he did
not and you never did. The only
place you fellows who pay your
money and take your "scrip" ever
get off at is the jumping off place"
You can't outplay the game Old J.
B. is the old champion you never can
knock out. The only way to get rid
of him is to refuse to fight him. He
lives on the scraps he has to put. If
no one went in against him, he'd die
overnight. You can't put down liquor
by pouring it down.
AS a prophet or predictor I am not
so very much. [ am, so to speak,
deaf, dumb, blind, crippled and para
lyzed when it comes to prognosticat-
ing and sizing up the future I am
no Rex. But I venture to make the
statement that if the officers of the
law whose duty it is under the law
to stop this trading in poisonous in
toxicants ever make one quiet deter
mined effort to do their duty and
accomplish the destruction of the
whole traffic under the law, even
with one hand tied behind them,
they will win. Every decent citizen
in the whole country would be with
them, if necessary. It's going to be
done pretty soon. It's time to start
it now.

The Filipinos are anxiously await
ing the day when the United States
will grant them their independence,
which leads a fellow to believe that
some people are never so contented
as when stirring up discomfort. In
dependence for the Filipinoes will
mean renewed strife, disintegration,
and final annexation by some foreign
power.
