She said fiercely to herself that she

be enjoyed only by the wealthy. She
had scrimped for weeks to get the few
dollars she had spent that afternoon,
but how pitifully little she had OBJ
tanned for them. Somehow, there
never seemed chance to get dollar
for anything but necessities in the
little home. Frank had been out Of
work for months, and the children had
been i'll.
The basket was heavy on her arm.
The snow fell now in great flakes and
soon her thin shoes were wet through.
But at last she reached the top Of the
hill, and the light from the kitchen
window greeted her cheerily.
When she came into the yard two
eager faces were watching from the
window, and two little figures bobbed
up and down excitedly, and she could
hear their shouts before she got into
the room.
Some of the WEAKNESS left her as
she opened the door and the warmth
and light met her, and two pairs Of
loving arms twined about her neck !;
after all, there were so many who had
less to be thankful for.

1t is too late to take his advice now therefore
less to discuss the soundness of his views
For prohibition is in the Constitution and 1t viii stay
there for many year,
extremely improbable that there will be any change
of the Volstead act such would permit any experiment
in the selling of light wine and beer as NOTWITHSTANDING
under the Constitutional provision.
Even if thought wise to make the experiment it
would be prevented by the convictions of certain men IN
office and by the hypocrisy of greater number perfectly
willing to drink in defiance of law themselves but afraid
to vote as they think for fear of losing votes
Jefferson said that wherever the people drank beer
they avoided whiskey and did not get drunk.
Concerning wine he wrote:
81 rejoice mOralst, at the prospect of
reduction of the duties wine by our national
Legislature Ii is an error to view tax on that quoi
merely tax the rich. 1t is prohibition of its
to the mddlng class of our citizens, and
condemnation of them to the poison of whiskey, which
is desOlating their houses No nation is drunken where
wine is cheap and sober, where the dearneSs OF
wine substitutes ardent spirits as the common bever
whiskey"
Jefferson wrote that in q letter to M. de Melville in
1918 In the year he wrote to William H. Crawford
81 think it great error to consider heavy tax on
wines a tax on luxury. On the contrary it is tax
the health of citizens. II is legislative declara
ton that none but the richest of them shall be per-
med to drink wine, and, in effect condemnation
of all the middng and lower conditions of society to
the poison of whiskey"

HOW LONG IS THAT CONDITION TO LAST?
One hundred and seven years ago Thomas jefferson
who wrote the Declaration Of independence and knew
thing about the people Of the United States wrote about
whiskey:
"The loathsome and fatal effects of whiskey, de-
stroying the fortunes, the bodies, the minds, and
morals of our citizens"
He warned the Indians he did tie white men of his
day against whkey To the Indians he said among other
q have not filled you with whisk.y, as the English
do, to make you PROMISE give up what Is against
your interest, when out Of your senses"
IF we feared you, If we were your enemies, we
should have furnished plentifully with whiskey"
jefferson would not agree with many earnest prohib
tonists today and everybody will admit that his opinion
had weight and properly be quoted in prohibition
lays Recommending to the Assembly Of Virginia certain
Captain Miller, he wrote:
HE is about to settle in our country and to estab
fish brewery, In which art think him skillful
man as has ever come to America wish to see this
beverage become common, instead Of the whiskey
which kills onethird Of citizens and ruins their
families"
Everybody knows that prohibition will not come out
Of the Constitution for at least generation It would take
twohrds of the States to change the Constitution It
not probable that you could get onethrd to vote
And everybody knows also that something should be
done put end to the flood Of bootleg whskey gin and
other alcoholic poisons with which the country Is now
flooded.
This country, with its socalled prohibition is Joke,
disgrace to the nation.

When Will Public Ask
For World War Stories

When will the American Reading
public be ready for the great wealth Of
stories and articles about the World
War? Why don't these stories attract
the public now?
Publishers would like to know the
answers to these questions It has been
practically decided from many expert
ences that readers up to and including
the present time care very little for fic-
tion or fact stories abont this great
conflict. One answer is that too little
time has elapsed, and that the public
still remembers too much about the ac-
tual awfulness of the war to want to
read more about it.
Publishers agree, however, that some
day this attitude will change, and stor-
les Of this war will enjoy great run. 1t
is to that time that they look forward to
find new authors among the men who
knew the war at first hand. Men in the
American Legion will unfold tales Of
weird happenings, and readers will de-
mand to know everything. Then the real
stories Of the war will be told.
BY the way, are you keeping in touch
with these former fightersY Read the

issue Of TIE MONMOUTH INQUIRER.
