We would like, in the most court
eous and considerable spirit, to direct
the attention of any of our sub
scribers who may be in arrears on
their subscription account to the fact
that we really need the money that
may be coming to US from that
source. Especially in those cases
where the account has run more than
a year it should be paid. AS to othe-
accounts, we are very glad, of
course, to have them paid in advance
wherever that is possible. Those
who are more than year in arrears
and who do not pay or arrange for
future payment within the next week
may expect to receive a statement.
In order to demonstrate the fairness
of our position in this matter let US
say that we receive a statement of
any past due indebtedness on our
own part every thirty days and that
we could not expect to get credit for
a much greater period. Our ex-
penses must be met practically in
cash as we go along. We ask our
friends to assist us as best they may
in this matter.

Charles II. Reed, Editor

There are various shades of opin-
ion among people with regard to the
regulation that should ultimately be
placed upon the liquor traffic. We
believe, however, very great major
ity would favor the enforcement OF
prohibition as provided for in the
Federal constitution if vote were to
be taken on the matter at the present
time. The drys, to be sure, are not
satisfied with the present enforce.
ment Of the law, but they know the
matter is yet in its infancy and that
the people as well their officers are
confronting an entirely new situation
which they are learning to cope with
as rapidly, perhaps, as can be expect
ed. They also know that conditions
resulting from the liquor traffic have
been greatly improved since the Fed
eral prohibitory law went into effect.
The vets, on the other hand, are
no more satisfied than they were
in the beginning and are making a
noise entirely out Of proportion to
their numbers They are really max
ing their own lawlessness basis up
on which they bid to be entrusted
with the law making and executive
authority. A rather illogical assump.
ton, it must be admitted. In con-
sidering any possible change in the
present liquor laws it will be well to
bear in mind that any return to a
legalized traffic would not mean
that the traffic would be conducted
legally. That would not be the case
/ by any means. Firstly, because the
the liquor business never has been
conducted legally and it's whole effecs
is inherently toward excess, crime and
violation of law. Secondly, we now
have in operation in this country
what must be conceded rather eX-
tensive system for the manufacture
and sale Of Illicit liquor Considered
in connection with any return TO q
legalized traffic, bearing a high Fed
eral revenue tax, as well as local
taxes on sales, illicit liquor would
continue 70 be cheap liquor and
would remain in competition with the
high priced article for some time to
come. This would mean that the
people have to look after the results
Of both the legal and the illegal traf-
fic and that they would have a prob
lem on their hands rather more diff
cult than that which they are at pres
ent attempting to deal with. That
this assertion is justified can be prov
en- by the situation which existed in
the southern states prior to the en-
actment of national prohibitory
law. There moonshining followed
upon the heels of the enforcement of
the Federal revenue laws and both
the Illicit and the legalized traffic
existed side by side for more than
three-quarters Of century. AS We
view the matter, therefore, no other
course than the best possible enforce
ment of the present law promises
anything in the way of social pro
gress and Accomplishment.

I he editor of this paper claims t.
be friend Of the young people. He
believes he understands that condi.
tions are not what they were fifty
years ago and that the entertainment
provided for the young then would
not be appropriate for the present.
People are living more closely, by
considerable, than they did fifty
years ago and coon hunting for OUT
door exercise and sitting around the
big open fire place at night are no
longer possible as means of amuse-
ment, although spelling school
might still do some good. Further
more, congestion of population is
often productive Of social deteriora-
tion that, perhaps, is its tendency,
so that some extra effort to counter
act such an effect by way of whole
some entertainment for the young.
appropriate for the time, is logical
and laudable. But we have lately
been forced to consider the possibility
that it is easy to overdo the matter
The old adage runs that call work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
and the principle would probably be
equally true if the adage were turned
about and made to imply that "al
play and no work makes Jack fool
boy" A liking for work, sense Of
its dignity and Importance, and act
ual training in its execution, is just as
essential now as it was fifty years
httf -, f,.1
state belief that it is better provid-
ed for. Just now it almost seems
that a mania for entertainment
rather than a desire for work and
mental accomplishment mas become
the great aim Of existence for too
many people, old as well as young
There is something doing in the way
OF entertainment every minute, so
that the gathering of the family
around the fireside and the reading
of some good piece of literature,
mutual discussion of the various real
responsibilities of life, or the enjoy
ment of little wholesome repose,
have become things of the past. We
now have a social this night, a class
party the next, Sunday School en-
tertainment the next, a show the
next, a party the next, some other
sort of association the next and if the
young folks happen to get chance
to remain at home for one evening
they find that the old folks are out
attending some sort of society or
recreating. Now, the intent lying at
the root of all this activity may un-
questionally be good, but the work is
not co-ordinated and as a result we
get, possibly, too much of it. An
extra feed four or five times a week,
the constant expenditure of money
for purposes that are mainly or in
cidentally recreational, and not much
stress placed upon earning and saw
ing, are certainly not to be considered
an unmixed blessing viewed from
constructive standpoint. In our
