LIGHT WINE AND BEER

JUDGING by the vote being collected by The
Literary Digest there are a large number OF
j people in this country who favor the modhca-
ton of the eighteenth amendment to permit the
lawful manufacture and sale of light wines con-
tanning ten per cent and beer containing rs per
cent of alcohol.
ut is doubtful if it is generally understood
how this result be brought about. At the
primary election one candidate for governor said
he would pass legislation to that effect, and would
bring the great influence of chief executive to
bear upon congress to have the Volstead act am
ended by congress- In spite of the absurdity OF
this line of bunk, he received several thousand
votes, remarks The St. Cloud Journal Press.
"This is the eighteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States:
'"The manufacture, sale, or transportation
of Intoxicating liquors within, or the importa-
ton thereof into, the expectation thereof
from the United States and all territory sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage
purposes is hereby prohibited"
"The Volstead act is simply legislation to en-
force this amendment. The vital question is what
constitutes Intoxicating liquors." Congress
could pass an act allowing ten per cent in light
wines and 2.5 per cent of alcohol in beer, but the
dry forces would Immediately take an appeal to
AAAiS NoNAN
would undoubtedly decide that wine and beer of
this strength would be intoxicating hquor-as
everybody knows-and would declare such legis-
laton unconstitutional.
Therefore the only way in which to permit
the return of light wines and beer is to amend
the eighteenth amendment To do this requires
first an act of congress to submit the proposed
amendment to the several state legislatures, and
to adopt it would require the approval of thirty
six of the state legislatures.
"No sane man believes either the first or the
second step possible-not with the women of the
United States having the ballot, declares The
Journal Press.
"This matter should be clearly understood by
the people. The 18th amendment is not going to
be either amended or repealed Without it con-
gress cannot put back any kind of beverage that
is Intoxicating. This agitation for light wines
and beer is simply butting ones, head against a
stone wall. This will not the wall very
much concern.
prohibition is a fact, and the sooner the
people understand it and the futility of all this
agitation, the better for their peace of mind. The
man in this campaign who promises to bring back
wine and beer is either fool, liar, or he is de-
magogue who thinks he can fool the people. Il
cannot be done. ...
GIN connection with the comments made by
the Journal-Press it should be said that Mime
sofa has law on it's statute books making il
compulsory for sheriffs and police officers to en-
force the Volstead act. 1t is rumored that the
wet forces would like very much to have thai
law repealed. There is reason obvious tha
an extended explanation is unnecessary. Wipine

Billy Noonan, who is a candidate for the
legislature in his district, starts out with
reform program. He declares that "another
thing that ought to be stopped is the habit of
candidates kissing babies who are not old
enough to fight back."-Dawson Sentinel.
Is it possible that the "babies" in Billy's dis
trict ever get old enough to fight back? We
doubt it!

The way to get business is to invite the peo-
pie to come and inspect the line you have for sale
and state what it is, for what price it be
bought Such goods are sold before the customer
comes to your place of business. No can be
coaxed and cajoled into buying what they don't
care for or to come where they are not invited to
come-The Dassel Dispatch.

We sincerely hope that every farmer and ev-
cry business man has a special sawed-off shot
gun ready for the salesman of questionable
stock. And right now, since the blue sky laws of
Minnesota have ceased to function, all stock ex-
cept that vouched for by reputable bankers is de-
cidely questionable. Go in and talk it over with
your own banker-but shoot the stock-broker
first! He quite probably deserves to die and you
can't afford to take chance on not finding him
there to shoot when you get back from Investigate
ing.

One who is habitually "agin" things, one
whose attitude is usually critical, one who is
"darnation" out of joint with the times, is cut
ting from his scheme of life the following fine
words: Hepfulness, cooperation, constructive
ness, good cheer, optimism, confidence and en-
thusiasm. And with these meanings left out, SUCH
a person may be said to be "all thru" He and
his views may be quietly disregarded.-

Sad is the day for any man when he becomes

and intended to do-Phillips Brooks.

THREE PRAYERS
By Henry Van Dyke.
Bedtime Prayer

By Henry Van Dyke.
Bedtime Prayer
Ere thou sleepest, gently lay
Every troubled thought away:
Put off worry and distress
AS thou puttest off thy dress:
Drop thy burden and thy care
In the quiet arms of prayer.
Lord, Thou knowest how live,
All I've done amiss forgive:
All of good I've tried to do,
Strengthen, bless, and carry through:
All I love in safety keep,
While in Thee fall asleep.
.:-z.z zt
Night Watch Prayer
If slumber should forsake
Thy pillow in the dark,
Fret not myself to mark
How long thou Hest awake,
There is a better way
Let go the strife and strain:
Thine eyes will close again,
22:szs.z
Lord Thy peaceful gift restore,
Give my body sleep once more:
While 1 wait my soul will rest
Like child upon Thy breast.
New-Day Prayer
Ere thou risest from thy bed,
Speak to God Whose wings were spread
Ger thee in the helpless night
Lo, He wakes thee now with light!
Lift thy burden and thy care
In the mighty arms of prayer.
Lord, the newness of this day
Calls me to an untried way:
Let me gladly take the road,
Give me strength to bear my load,
Thou my guide and helper be
I will travel through with Thee.
