WHY THE NAME "MOONsHlNE"
In Earlier Years the Illicit Liquor Was
Supposed to Be Made Only
at Night.

America calls the liquor illicitly dis
TILED, especially In the Allegheny
mountains, ''moonshine." The appar-
ent reason is that 1t Is believed to be
distilled at night and secretly trans
ported without payment OF tax or the
authority of official permit. The fact
is, If course, that the secret stills
work as hard I'm day as at night.
England used the word In similar
manner, though not In the same
sense. Over there moonshlne Is
liquor that has been smuggled into
the country without payment of tax.
The smuggling Is usually done by
small boats from the continent, that
land at lonely shores at night, and the
cargo is unloaded Ly the light of the
moon. 1t was this that gave the liquor
its generic name.
American moonshine Is raw, un-
aged and often uncolored spirits. Brit
ish moonshine may be the finest bran
dy from France, the choicest rum from
jamaica. In the British Isles, especially
Ireland, the popular name for home
distilled spirits Is "mountain dew" be-
cause 1t is in the hills that II Is made,
far from the prying eyes Of the ex-
else man.

n, M Versatile Public Life.
When Mr.. Monroe left his Virginia
home to live in New York he had
ended a versatile public life. At
eighteen he left Williams college to
enter the revolutionary army Of
George Washington, and rose to be
military commissioner Of his home
state. He was elected to the assembly
Of Virginia later: in time he became
member Of congress, he was in the
convention which considered the con-
stitution, and DE was minister pleni-
potentiary to France.
On his return Mr.. Monroe was
chosen governor OF Virginia; then, as
envoy extraordinary to France, ne
negotiated the Louisiana purchase.

election twice as President.
Outstanding of the services Of Mr..
Monroe was that which has come to
mean so much in the determination of
American international relations. In
the action of the scenic and historic
society Is to be restored the final
refuge Of the man whose chief claim
to perpetual glory was the declaration
that:
Neither entangllng ourselves in
the broils Of Europe nor suffering any
power of the world to interfere with
the affairs of the new, and attempt on
their (the European powers) part to
extend to any portion of this hemi-
sphere would be dangerous to our
peace and safety and would be op-
posed accordingly"
