DIRECTING CHILDREN's TASTE

Every Nv and then some one rises
up to urge the great need of teach
ing children to read for recreation,
and says that reading at home is NO
longer done. We wonder if those
worried speakers ever worked with
children very much, and if they did
have experience, if they ever tried
just surrounding the youngsters with
desirable books and magazines? The
average boy or girl seems to take to
story books like duck to water, and
they can be pretty high class litera-
ture and still be interesting. too. The
chief need seems to be to make them
accessible without letting the young
sters know that they are expected to
read them.-Hennepin County En-
terprise.

Labor and Liquor

that all organized labor against prohibition OF the bev

The fact is the Brotherhood of Locomotce Engineers
OF the strongest and reputable labor unions OF
America, connected with the Federation of Labor has
for many years taken pronounced stand in favor of
prohibition and expels members who violate their pledge
abstain from alcoholic beverages Furthermore this
brotherhood has declared in favor of worldwide prohi-
bon
number of other labor organizations connected with
the Federation OF Labor have gone record in behalf
of prohibition One of the most notable of these is the
international Brotherhood of Backsmiths Several west
city declarations have also fallen into line.
The booze crowd which includes all the dsreputabe
elements of society and others, will have hard
time in lining up the home loving straight thinking la
Dor forces of Illinois and America Intelligent labor has
discovered that the beverage liquor traffic is labo worst
foe and the greatest menace to the toilers home.
The expert testimony of Secretary Hoover and the
economist Babson to the effect that prohibition law
has been of ncacuabe benefit to the industrial welfare
of the country convincing1y confirmed recently by
the testimony of woman conyersing with gentleman
who about to give address prohibition. She
said to the speaker: "Be you going give any Stats

Crocodile Tears

The Chicago Tribune has recently been showing great
anguish of soul the just sentence of bootlegger
out in Nebraska
The Judge deereed that this friend of the Tribune
should have forty days in Jail with diet OF bread and
water. This ardent champion OF booze and booteggers
calls the sentence of the Nebraska reversion to
the torture OF the middle ages.
What about the torture the bootlegger inhics upon
his victim? What about the anguish of the wife and
children in his home? What about the laws OF his state
he trample ruthlessy under his feet and the Constu-
ton of his country, which he ignores?
The sympathy of the Tribune for bootleggers and its
strenuous endeavor bring back under the sanction of
law the outlawed beverage liquor traffic will in due time
be fully understood by the Godiearng libertyloving
homes of Illinois.

YOUNG PEOPLE THEN AND nov

Chicago Tribune of June l. 1914, carries this para
graph:
"A three months survey showed that $4,000 women
and girls frequened every "a hours the back of
saloons i'll the following streets. Madison, North Clark
and Cottage Grove Avenue ust three Chicago sreefs
AS result the Freund ordinance drafted to
hbit stalls and booths devices OF any Kind
which would make for privacy.
That shows how the saloon used to be leading
young people into vice There is nothing compare
with it in city lnsted of things being
for young people since prohibition came, they
vastly better than they before No doubt there
still room for improvement but let insist that full
credit be given for the advance that has already been

A new farm bloc has been recently formed in Con

It's leading sponsors John Philip Hill OF Baltimore,
Lorng NJ Black OF New Y rk, and John B. Sosnowsk,
OF Detroit.
The slogan Of these notorious advocates Of booze is:
"Help the farmers by bringing back beer"
The farmer may at certain seasons OF the year have
less "hay seed in their hair" but from wide
acquaintance with this large and influential class OF
citizenship firmly of the opinion that not many OF
them have cobwebs in the brain
The farmers have not forgotten the days when the

towns and cities safe for their and daughters
We quite these cty-beer-saloon Congressman

So says Dr. Paul f. Bloomhardt,

Washington's father gave the
Ratchet, as even school children re-

Later he confessed.
But the penknife was given TO
him by his mother. She was so
pleased with the lads behavior that
she gave him the bit of fine cutlery,

This knife he carried as a tails

At the lowest ebb of the Revolu-

He struggled with himself. This
was his greatest battle, says DR..

Knox knew it's story, and without
any utterance, gently pushed the
keepsake under the clenched hands

Washington flushed.
Knox said: You were always TO
