Later came our entrance into the war, and this
meant great Industrial activity. Great Britain
sent back to us bales of our securities, hence we
received enormous dividends payments that used
to go abroad. Our wealthy citizens could not get
to Europe, and for several years they spent law
ishly at home. Foreign wageearners grew doubt
full of Old World governments, and invested mil
lions in our savings banks.
Counteracting influences were so powerful that
the Underwood tariff did not do half or a quar-
ter of the harm it might have done. But last July
a drunken tramp slept on a side track, no train
came along, and he was not injured-if there had
been a train there would have been one tramp
the less. 1t was warm weather, and nothing hap
|pened to him, still accident insurance companies
do not want policysolders who sleep on tracks.
To-day the Underwood presidential boom rests on
the fact the Underwood tariff was like a locomo-
tive that did not run over anybody, or like a fire
that did not burn.
There are many citizens who hope that the Vol
stead act will be repealed or nullified; but they
are Mr.. Volsteads enemies, not his friends and
supporters. Had the Underwood tariff had free
course the Democrats would not in 1916 have car.
ried a northern state nor could they have held
the entire south. The terror of the Democratic
leaders lest imports should flood the country is
too recent to be forgotten. No report of the tariff
commission failed to exhibit this dread.
A leading reason for electing Jefferson was
the belief that he would repeal the internal rev.
enue laws and he did. Many supported Jackson
because they wished to strike at the United
States bank, which he wisely or u~nwisely did.
Had Bryan won in 1896 he would have done his
utmost for free silver coinage. Mr.. U~nderwood's
hopes lie in what he did not do. he passed a
bill avowedly to increase importations, and the
increase in impoortations was too slight to sweep
the Democratic party into the discard.
Can anyone believe that Volstead would like
to sec his law a failure? Not one voter in the
country believes that Underwood could get a vote
in the next Democratic convention unless his law
had been a failure.

Sentiment For Paved Highway Grows

highway will be paved from Chey-

Tackle the Other Pig

If those enthusiasts on matters OF prohibition
knew more about the digestive system of a hu-
man being. or at least understood just what does
it the most harm, they would forsake their
liquor campaign for a few moments and turn
their attention to the food hog.
Overcating is many times as prevalent az over
drinking and infinitely more harmful.
While some two per cent Of the people in the
world die from the effects of over-indulgence in
alcohol, about ninety-nine per cent or more die
from the effects of overwhelming themselves in
unnecessary and unscientific food.
While less than one per cent are hard drinkers,
about ninety-eight per cent are consistently hard
caters.
Moreover, in the case of an average man, one
injudicious meal will put more self-distilled al
cohol in his digestive tract than he would put
there himself in a week.
The liquor problem has intrigued the magma
tions of many people because it has been given
a moral and religious aspect. We should re-
member, however, that If it is immoral to drink
ourselves to death, it is Just as immoral to eat
Yourselves to death. The auto-into1icated man
has straycd just as far fran righteousness as the
man who crooks his elbow and stands with one
foot on the brass rail.
Either a knife, fork or spoon makes an inf.
|nitely better gravedigging implement than the
beer opener. A good sharp tooth should replace
the skull and cross bones as our emblem of
death.
A vigorous campaign against unscientific eat.
ing and over eating would solve most of the prob.
lens heretofore ascribed to drink.

As any part between the Muddy feld

tomobile bounces along the highway
striking the surface only here and

chance does q sand surfaced high
way have?
That part OF the highway in the

Volstead and Underwood

Mr.. Volstead is the author OF a recent law
which is loudly praised and bitterly denounced.
Senator Underwood sponsored n tariff which
has been succeeded by the one on the statute
books. Mr.. V~olstead has gone abroad to defend
prohibition. Senator Underwood is ready TO
make a presidential race with hostility to the
present tariff as one of the main issues,
The Volstead law is fairly well observed in
some places, often evaded in others, in others
it is boldly defied. But truth lies between the
extremes. If it il not so well obeyed as MI. Vol.
stead thinks, II is by no means so widely disobey.
ed as his opponents claim. All agree that Mr..
Volstead believes in his measure, and wants to
see it enforced everywhere. lie would be glad to
see a prohibition so rigid that no man would dare
to import or manufacture intoxicants.
Should sentiment daily grow more favorable
TO the Volstead law, both parties would have 10
nominate "dry" candidates. There are in con.
gress men as bent on putting an end to the LIQUOR
traffic as Garrison was bent on the abolition of
slavery. 1t will be hard to carry out their plans
but they are prepared, if they have the votes. to
call the navy into service, to extend the coast
limit, TO do all that is necessary to reach their
goal.
The Underwood tariff was passed in 1913. md
Immediately the manufacturers became anxious.
For months we heard of shortened time and long
lines of workmen out of employment. Then came
the European war. Immediately German imports
fell TO practically nothing because the British
fleet ruled the sea. Europe demanded vast guam.

The Successful Man

A writer giving a description OF A. c. Bedford
head of the Standard Oil, says that ito see him
walking quickly through the corridors OF the
hotel no one would take him for the head Of one
OF the worlds greatest enterprises. He is with.
out buster, listens courteously, has a friendly
smile and expresses himself in well chosen
words"
There is nothing remarkable about that. The
time has long since passed, il II ever existed,
when the man of buster and discourtesy could
get to the top. MIR. Bedford does not exhibit
these qualities because he is the head Of the
Standard Oil; on the contrary he is the head Of
the Standard Oil because he possesses these
and other qualifications.
Mr.. Bedford used TO be a clerk in a wholesale
grocery store. He would still be in that sort of a
job if he had been a blustcrcr, crouch or incap,
able of expressing himself in a Sew well chosen
words. The young man who let's himself he spoil.

The Pathway of Safety

II we do not have Q government maintained

least we VIII not have a government in any
sense worthy of the name. This may we'll be pom.
.dered by those who defy the prohibition law as
well as the Reds who would defy other laws.
Those who disregard the prohibition law and
encourage others to disregard other laws, will
find that there will shortly be no property right
in anything, not even the commodity in which
they deal. And for the Reds, as well as for every
body else, there will be no freedom of any kind.
Unless society is held together and protested
by laws there is no security for anybody or any.
thing. The constitution must be preserved
through respect for and obedience TO its every
provision. In that course alone is the pathway
