sirLThe wiggles Of the vets are
.rWsns, II not Instructive. Why does
y. IT, II, b." sign his full name II
= /, proud Of his stand with the vets
could like to know why he 10 20
.siie,tous about the matter. We sus.
~ he is interested financially. But
Ss.sver the reason for his advocacy,
~ isct remains that this question was
tansht for nearly o century and finally
~ns in fair Hght BY an enormous ma.
;.ity. No other amendment to the
Enstitution was fought for 30 long
scsinst 40 strongly intrenched interests
ssr won 10 decisively, and most Of the
III against Il now Is pure bunk or
sorse. @ Men with red blood In their
,'ins accept defeat when they are fairly
isaten, but a welcher whines, and too
~soy OF the vets are in this class.
fNey did not obey the laws before We
sSopted the dry amendment. and they do
~ propose to now.
II Is probably true that much art and
lterature, like many dry after dinner
neeches, can be better appreciated II
Ke Judgment of the judges Is we'll wet
no: but the world will be better of II
N ret rid of such rotten stuff and sub.
dilute a quality that will stand the
dear judgment of people not partly
drunk. By raising the quality Of the
demand we raise the quality Of the
supply.
MI. II. B." will look about him,
be can find many evidences Of the good
Of the dry law and many violations by
ne vets. II he stands for law and or.
der, he should get on the dry side. This
talk about the loss OF the "poor mans
club" Is SANDER. The poor man now
soes out with his family and they are
al happier. The alleged club" was
dmply a trap to part him from his
money while his family suffered.
Fortunately, many 1aboring men are
awakening and the labor leaders zee
their hold slipping. SO they franti.
uly are asking for drink to again
muddle the minds Of their followers that
they may lead them to the advantage
M the leaders, even II the leading Is
bad for the led. This seems to be the
ction;! '.sts ,I.s.c excuse fT the action Of some
The broad and indisputable fact that
fsf.hshted men zee II that organiza. t.
ton leads to war. We need laws and
conditions fair to all. not a lot Of
'blocs" each seeking their own advan-
ure. G. f. DURYEA.
