At a time when most public men
are pussyfooting on the subject, II Is
refreshing to find one OF them WITH
courage enough to express his reaI
opinion. It must have taken real
courage, too, since Mr.. McAdoo Is
appealing for the vote OF organized
labor despite the fact that organlE,
ID labor has several times declared
ITSELF against prohibition.

Fairmont Sentinel: We once
heard Governor Preus remark tnai
The punishment he would mete OUT
10 Kaiser Bill, the worlds Ereatess
would be to place MIN IN
absolute solitary confinement all the
iays OF his life provide him with
hne garments, feed him on the
choices sanitary foods and do ev-
erything possible to prolong his days
on earth. This would make a hell
On earth.
And the fact remains that the
former kaiser Is not In "a hell
on EARTH" but he 10 enjoying a all
the comforts Of q home. He Is
occupying q couch Of downy ease
and no one need be surprised
to hear Of his returning 20 the
land from which he 90 suddenly
escaped In the dark on q GER
tain occasion. He 10 accorded
the treatment that most crimi-
nails and murderers receive
from the nauseatlnq sentlmen-
taiist-coddied and sympathized
with, living In the hope Of a par
don constantly before them when
the moose should be their neck
lace.
