tertained those who had assisted in
making the Sunday meetings a sue
cess ard its members with a lecture
bv the we'll known humorist, Strick-
Ian Gillian perhaps the best known
humorist in the country today.
The reading room and hall were
packed before Mr.. Gillian be-
gan speaking and during the hour
that he spoke he received the closest
possible attention of the audience,
every member of which seemed to
thoroughly enjoy the delightful ad-
dress which he delivered. There is
only one Stricklan Gillian in the
country; most any man can memo
rize the wit and humor of pa
repeat it in such manne4 lee
his hearers laugh but the man who
can furnish original wit, whose very
beings radiate humor and good fel-
lowship who can bring a smile ana
at the same strike home the true
philosophy of life are few and far pc
tween, and the speaker last night was
one of these.
That he should have been the
speaker was very appropriate indeed
for the lecture which he delivered
which kept his audience smiling
from start to finish, was but an elab-
Grafton of the Elk principles, namely
to drive away needless worry and
care, to look at the bright side OF
life and to see the best that is IN
men rather than the worst, to radlate
sunshine and happiness rather than
gloom and sorrow.
In addition to the address by Mr..
Gillian. Stewards Orchestra fur
nished delightful music before anu

AS to Buyers of
Wildcat Whisky

Abettors of crime make crime
possible. The wildcatter would not
make moonshine whisky if there
were none to buy; the bootleggel
would not peddle it if he could find
no customers. Accessories to crime
are in great measure criminals
themselves.
The person who buys moonshine
whisky makes the crime of manu-
featuring it and selling it certain.
Purchasers ought to be punished
for buying what the wildcatter
makes and the bootlegger sells com
mensurably as manufacturers and
dispensers are punished.
The maker and seller manufac-
ture and sell wildcat whisky to
crafty unholy greed for gain; the
purchaser buys and consumes it to
crafty beastIy appetite; they are
equally culpable in the sense of
transgressing moral law they should
be dealt with as equally culpable
in violation of civil law.
To punish purchasers az well as
makers and dispensers of wildcat
whisky would go far towards stop
ping the making, selling and drink
ing of mOOnshine whisky.
When a man is caught drunk he has
whisky in him He ought to be
punished just as if whisky had been
found on his person or in his home.
Convict him Of unlawful possession
of whisky and then mitigate his
punishment for information that
will lead TO the apprehension of
those from whom he procured the
whisky.
Indicating and bootlegging will
never be stopped until the pur-
chaser of whisky is made amenable
to the law.
