 Jack said Hang the bear Now, MT. Editor, these are not the exacta words he used but we will call 1t that for the sake of modesty. A few minutes later we rolled up in our blankets and in a short time were in the land of dreams. We slept till g o'clock, rolled out and prepared breakfast, and started out. We had not gone more than one half mile down the river when we met one of the boys who was starting out on bear hunt. He wanted us to accompany him and II consented but Jack said in a very firm and convincing manner No, sir, I had all the bear hunting I wanted last night and then he related our experiences of last night and decided not to go. The fellow we met by the way was Pat Healy, so we will call him Pat Well Pat says, Here boys, I want you to take me across the river. I will get the boat We agreed to take him across and started landing him on the other side. He had a very good gun and when one goes brown bear hunting you cer- tainly need one and know how to use it.
 Opposite to the place where we landed Pat was a large cottonwood tree turned up by the wind so Pat turned down stream to get around the stump and started for the high ground. Just as he turned the cor her of the stump and had a chance to look up the trunk of the tree bear makes it's appearance and it cer-l talnly was QdnQy. WHeu rat Saw her coming he yelled Mac. Come and come quick!' We'll we did not lose any time reaching the boat. By the time he yelled we were back on our side of the river and had started few steps down stream. Now, believe me, 1t did not require much time to cross the river We thought the way Pat yelled, a bear had him in stead of he having the bear. When i we reached Pat we found that he had | been the victor but there were still ! two cubs about one and one-half or two years old coming towards us. Pat was preparing to shoot cub when Jack yells, Pat, hold on, let me

Is BEER COMING BACK?

A few days ago a man came into the
Office of a Chicago business man in re-
gard to a business transaction. The Wis
itor was asked the nature of the business
in which he was engaged, and the man
replied: Il am an officer of a brewery"
He said however, that as soon as pro-
hibition went into effect his brewery de-
cided that it was not right or safe to
break the law and instead Of making beer
made ice.
The plant, however, was left as nearly
intact as possible in the hope that beer
would return. But in spite of what you
read in the papers" the brewer asserted
that he is now convinced that beer is
never coming back and his firm is going
to spend Immediately $4,000 in remodel
ing his plant.

enforcement
The 1924 Elections
In the 1924 elections the VETS endorsed
ia congressional candidates, of whom
only eighty-two were elected The drys
elected SOP members who received their
endorsement. The vets openly opposed
262 candidates for Congress, of whom 20
were elected. Eight OF the candidates for
Congress endorsed by the VETS repudi-
ated that endorsement or else had dry vot-
ing records. This was the latest refer
endum on beer and wine aud prohibition
enforcement. The issues involved in each
of these congressional elections were
clearly stated and the wet and dry ques-
ton was emphasized so that there was
no ambiguity or misunderstanding by the
voter.
Beer Experiment Failure
The states that tried permitting the
sale of beer and wine while prohibiting
stronger drinks, rejected this system very
quickly. Ii the majority had wanted beer
and wine they would have kept it. Iowa
legalized beer and wine in 1853, after
adopting prohibition in 1855. The drunk
enness and the law violations which fol-
lowed made the prohibition law a farce
and Iowa repealed this law because the
majority wanted sobriety not wine and
beer.
North Carolina allowed the sale of
per cent beer in 1909, but the majority,
who did not want any sort of beer, elected
a Legislature, which, in 1911, forbade all
liquors with over one-tenth OF / per cent
OF alcohol.
Georgia tried both the dispensary sys-
tenn and the near-beer and locker-club
plan, but repealed them substituting
strict prohibition in response to the pop
uar demand
Rhode Island legalized beer fc-r brief
period. while forbidding stronger bever-
ages Crime and drunkenness so increased
it returned to the license system as pref
cradle.
Indian Territory and the territory of
Hawaii made the beer experiment, as ufl-
successfully as other portions OF the
United States. Gov. w. r. Harrington,
of Hawaii in a letter to the National
Liberty League, wrote thus of the failure
of the beer experiment in that territory:
The people OF Hawaii have had an
experience along this line during the
days Of high license The claim was
set up some years ago that the illicit
sale OF hard liquors was due to high
license and that this phase of law vio-
lation could be materially reduced if
not eliminated by providing for the
legal issuance OF low-priced license
for the sale OF light wine and beer.
A law was enacted along this line.
with the result that the number of
establishments licensed to sell light
wine and beer increased considerably
throughout the country districts 1t
was the consensus of opinion that
this did not reduce the sale OF hard
liquors or the violation of the law
relating to hard liquors In many
instances the light wine and beer sa-
looms served merely to promote the
sale and consumDtion of al Eouors

not. If the majority want it it can have
it by proper and legal methods. The ma
jority has spoken its mind on this sub
Ject, not once, but repeatedly-not i'll
straw votes, but in official balots-and
that majority has banned light wine and
beer as we'll as whisky and brandy. The
majority adopted prohibition in thirty
three states by state law, with no clause
eXempting beer and wine. Ninety-fve per
cent OF the territory of the nation was
dry and % per cent of the people lived
in that dry area before the Eighteenth
Amendment was adopted and there was
not single prohibition law in this terri
tory that exempted beer and light wine
When national prohibition was adopted a
majority III one branch of the Legislature
in each of any thirteen states could have
prevented ratification if a beer and wine
exemption had been favored The vote
OF twenty-eight Senators, on August |,
1917, would have prevented the Eight
zenith Amendment from being submitted
to the states but it was impossible to find
twenty-eight Senators who did not know
that the majority of the people wanted
complete prohibition, with no beer and
wine exemption.
The Straw Vote in California
The referenda on beer and wine, when
compared with the straw votes taken in
the same states on this issue, show where
the real majority of the American citizens
stand. The Literary Digest, in 1922 took
a poll, which was carefully supervised to
avoid repeating. In that poll California
was shown as casting 20,479 votes for
modification and 8,4l8 for repeal of the
prohibition law, as against 1865 votes
for enforcement. A few weeks later the
voters of California, by a majority of
33,943, adopted the Wright law for pro-
hbition enforcement against all the pleas
OF the vets.
The Straw Vote in Massachusetts,
Massachusetts, was listed in this straw
vote as casting a majority vote for modi-
fcation, but two years after the poll the
official referendum on the state enforce
ment code showed the true majority was
for enforcement. Ohio, in a straw vote,
cast 20,285 votes for enforcement, against
25,511 for modification and repeal COM
bined. Two months after the poll Ohio
rejected a constitutional amendment for
beer and wine by majority of 189,472.
Wyoming cast two to one vote against
prohibition in the straw vote of 1922, but
gave a majority of $4,000 to a prohibi-
ton amendment to the State Constitu-
ton.
The Illinois Straw Vote
Dry voters, generally, do not partici-
pate in these unofficial polls, which have
no weight and no effect. Those in favor
of existing conditions have nothing to
gain by SO doing. When Illinois wet or
CARNATIONS succeeded in placing on the
ballot, in 1922, a proposal to legalize beer
and wine the Anti-Saloon League urged
voters to ignore this referendum, since it
proposed to legalize what was contrary
to the Eighteenth Amendment. The vets
carried the meaningless referendum, but
the drys continued to control the State

 On arriving at the Levy home, tea was served. after which a visit was made to the mills operated by NIT. Levy. four in number, where fine wors- teds are manufactured. The mills are models of cleanliness and modern im- provements, and a great change has been made since Mir Levy took over the plant a few years ago.
 After inspecting the mills the party went to the Inn. where supper was served. Here they were joined by Judge and Mrs. Arthur Potter and MT Damon. The latter will be superin- tendent of the new mill in East Wood stock. Across the street from the Inn is the Community House, where a con cert was given by the Harrisville Glee Club. Both the Inn and club house were old taverns on the post road be- tween Worcester and Providence. These have been remodeled to if the needs of the community, and needless to say are models of their kind.
