Five men died at Pana from the
effects of poison moonshine. Accord
ing to press reports all were promin-
emit One an insurance agent, anoth-
er building contractor, another a
real estate and stock buyer, a locomo-
tive hostler-all men who were con-
tributing something worth while to
the building of society.
Because there is a law prohibiting
men from buying liquor with a kick
in it, combined with a law forbiddng
anyone to make an alcoholic drink for
his own use, these five men, as mil
lions of others are doing nightly,
took chance with a substitute.
The concoction contained a suffi-
cient quantity of wood alcohol to
poison them and cause death. Now
the courts will have an opportunity to
fix the responsibility. They will do
this easily, but they will have more
difficulty in securing convictions.
There are dozens OF ways to avoid
the penalties of this statute. The
possession of wood alcohol is not
crime. If man drinks it knowingly
or unknowingly ii is his fault, and not
the fault of the person who sold it to
him, unless the concocton is misrep-
resented.
Misrepresentation is hard to prove
when the witnesses are dead.
A similar tragedy happened some
time ago in New York but there was
no report that the sellers of the con-
coction were convicted of any crime.
They had apparently sold wood alco-
hol, and the witnesses being dead
there was no evidence to show that

Keep Out All Aliens

The executive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor urges absolute prohibition of immi-
grant workers from the United States for definite
period in the interest Of the Americanizaton Of the
foreigners already here.
"The cry is coming from all parts of the coun-
try for the Americanization of the foreigner says
the council.
According to the United States census there
are 100000 foreigners in the United States, of
whom 100000 can not speak English and 100000
cannot read or write the English language.
mo better time could campaign be launched
to this end than at present. and its success would
be made certain by the complete restriction of
immigration.
Until the foreigners now in this country are
assmilated there can be no success in American
izng the citizens born in this country.
''Illiteracy is growing at a rapid rate.
"The alarming discovery made during the war
of the extent of illiteracy in the United States
should be a warning to those who now urge the
throwing open of our ports to still greater immgra-
ton.

the greed of unfair employers and the sefpreserva
ton of our people"

the poison was misrepresented.
Several men in Champaign have
died during the past year from the
effects Of canned heat. It would be
futile to arrest and expect to convict
those who sold the death dealing po-
ton. Men drink Aleho-Rub. 90 per
cent alcohol, said to be medicated so
that if taken internally it will cause
serious "gastne disturbances" But
men drink it and there are no serious
results beyond an excess of intoxica-
ton, a jail sentence and fine.
In the minds Of many prohibition
lists and strong temperance advocates
these tragic deaths, and wholesale
violations raise a question as to the
practicability of the eighteenth
amendment.
No conscientious prohibitionist
wants to see men die by the whole
sale; no honest man wants the gov
eminent to throw out an inducement
to criminals to get rich quickly at the
expense of the lives Of weak men;
only the crank says: well the soon
er they drink enough Of 1t to kill

There are still plenty of temperance
men and prohbitionists who are IN
willing to hear a criticism of the
eighteenth amendment. The fact that
Temperance men worked for half a
century TO procure prohibition
amendment appears TO clinch forever
the wisdom and practicabiity of such
an amendment in their minds.
The fact that the amendment had
to be tested, that it has not proved
a success, that it has ON the con-
trary been virtually ignored, evaded,
ridiculed and all but nullifed, APP
parently means nothing.
Any REIMBURSEMENT that "tones down
the drastic aim of the law for the
sake of expedience" is looked upon as
a concession to evil, and the man who
suggests such REIMBURSEMENT is dubbed
a traitor to the prohibition camp,
and worthy only of eternal eondemna-
ton.
Prohibitionists in convention in
Washington assail newspapers, au-
thorites and private citizens for
turning traitor" seeming to be will
ing to intimidate all who are in
clined to suggest that prohibition has
failed.
