old time FOUNDERS of 25 years ago. -
While we are not advocating the re-
turn of the saloon or the establish
ment of legalized liquor traffic, yet
it must be remembered that during
the most palmy days of licensed
liquor there was no such noticeable
drinking and drunkenness among
children, no doubt due to the fact
that selling liquor to minors was
frowned upon by severe penalties
But today with an abundance of boot
leggers. moonshiners and other liquor
peddling agencies seemingly operat-
ing openly and freely, there are no re-
strictions against minors unless it be
lack of the price.
The only solution is strict enforce
ment of prohibition laws and Jail or
prison sentence for violations. Fines
are ineffective because they do not
injure the illegal liquor vendor and
are regarded merely as paying over a
license

Editorial
GETTING PUBLICITY

Almost everyone at some time or
another has to make use of the local
newspaper as means of securing
come sort of publicity. OF course it
is the fashion with a good many to
insist that they do not like to see their
name in print. However, there are
times when one cannot help permitting
it. If you are active in some charity
work, or there is wedding or death
in the family the name goes in. So
since it is going in it is well to remem-
Der that only through your co-opera-
ton can it be put in to your complete
satisfaction. The right way is to tell
the editor or some one connected with
the paper all the particulars, or, bet
ter still, write it out and mail it or
send it or take it to the newspaper
office. This insures it's correct app
earance in the paper and prevents just
such mistakes as some people contend
the newspapers make too often.
Cooperate with your home paper;
give out items of interest without
forcing the news man to get them in
a round way. And you'll
soon see how much more valuable
to you is your home paper than you
may now consider it.

no objection. It is those who settle
in colonies in the cities. who have
their factional strifes and who live
as nearly as possible to the traditions
and the squalor of their native land
are the ones aimed at in this plan,
and rightly 80.
Judging by the names of those
caught in liquor raids in every city,
it would seem that the natives of
southern Europe hold but little re-
spect for laws that are meant to be
obeyed; and if foreigners cannot be-
come law-abiding American citizens,
then forbidding more of them to en-
ter the country seems the only rem
edy.

AN INTELLIGENT EMIGRATION
MEASURE

The proposed plan to restrict emf
grafton seems to be the first real
honest effort ever made in that d.
rection, and while the various hy-
phenated societies as well as large
manufacturing interests and foreign
sympathizers will utter deep protest,
such measure is based upon COM
mon sense as real restrictive ag-
ency.

of the foreigners from any country
residing in the United States in 1910

countries excepting those which have
furnished hordes of emigrants. unde-

The American Legion reports that
a quarter million ex-service men are
out of employment. With this condi

importing ship loads of emigrants to

The one argument in favor of the emf

nothing work for the lowest possible
wages, sleep Is or 20 in room and
be happy in the environments of a
