W.C.T.U. COLUMN
Conducted by the Publicity
Dept. of the Local Chapter

Prohibition has destroyed and
broken the power of the saloon. an
institution which exists now only
as a memory, but which yester-
day welded a malign power in the
life of this nation so great and
strongly entrenched that only a
few people of vision dared to think
that it could ever be abolished. Yet
within decade we have reached
a place where nobody except a
few financial vets wants the sa-
loon back. Even the foes OF prohi-
tbition are careful to explain that
they are opposed to the saloon.
Did any institution ever lose SO
many friends in so brief time?
Prohibition has largely wiped
out the nuisance of the liquor traf-
fic to the average decent citizen,
who didn't want to drink and who
didn't want a whisky environment.
Formerly the traffic was obtru-
sive. It interfered with everybody's
liberty. Today those who want to
drink have to get somewhere out
side the pale of the ordinary en-
vironment of life. Prohibition has
given reasonable chance to peo-
pie who want to leave liquor alone
and who want to be left alone by
the liquor traffic.
The economic gain to the nation
is vast. Prof. Irving Fisher esti-
mates it at $4,000, 900, 900, (six
billions) year. So far as we are
aware no economist of standing has
attacked prohibition on economic
grounds.
Our motto for 1927 is to "Hold
Fast and Go Forward"

STALKING ON THE CROSSINGS

TN MANY cases where automobiles hit by railroad

Why that so much likely to stall there

The answer no doubt most cases, that the driver

tracks Some will say better keep going at full speed

IRANGE BIRD WILL BE 'oN'TT BY CAPTAIN
 Nc"r'" 9rR'Nr cFA

Out of the ice-bound Arctic have come many strange phenomena of in e~os' to science, but it Is doubtful or~th'ne hos so stirred students of oatural history in recent years as the
 'rcovery of the goni bird, that rare ,d almost unheard of albatross, just ~eported by Capt. Dan Nc Neil, vet eran skipper of Alaskan waters who ~elated the following to a Seattle paper:
 For several years fishermen ill the Boring Sea have been observing from time to time the peculiar habit of this bird, Captain Neil says, altho every attempt to catch one of them has failed. The Captain does not vouch for the story as he never has seen one personally but he intends to lead a scientic expedition into the North some time soon to study the strange creature.
 1 The goni bird, he said, is never { seen in sight of land; it is born, rais- ed and dies upon the water. In color ! it is an odd shade of pink, with yellow bars. This acquatic creature is not ed for it's eccentric mode of life.
 The goni bird, as it never rests upon the shore, lays square eggs and lays but one egg a year. This egg is layed on her husbands back, up against his neck. During incubation the male goni must be very careful not to lose the egg overheard, So on account of this he flies backward.
 The skipper is said to have worn his poker-face as he finished his yarn.

The worlds only Millionaire,
through a mild-mannered spokes-
man, who plucked his thoughts

a meeting of protest and turned it
into celebration.
Five hundred holly indignant Ie-
tail merchants of Detroit met last
night to denounce the practice of
Fords various commissaries in sell
ing to the general public. Speakers
hurled Understanding invective.
Suddenly, from the midst of the
packed ballroom, elbowed his way
toward the platform J. n. Staples,
manager of the commissaries. The
chairman of the gathering, George
A. Brown, president of the General
Necessities Corporation, and a noted
leader in the Zionist campaign to
raise funds. begged the audience 10

RANKS UNBROKEN
AFTER ONE WEEK
OF COAL STRIKE
Strip Operators May Bolt,
but Association Heads
Refuse Conferences.

United Mine Workers officials
and bituminous operators were
calmly perched on the lid of the coal
situation today with no statements
to make. But faint runblings from
within began to be heard.
The Indiara situation remained
the same as, when suspension of OPP
erations began last Friday, but
operators were still holding out
against union proposals for district
wage conferences to secure .resump-
ton of work without reduction in
pay.
Meet Friday
Indiana strip mine operators have
agreed to meet the miners at Terre
Haute Friday, but the Indiana Coal
Operators Association still held aloof
from conference proposals.
The strip mines technically are not
a part of the district. They mine
about 20 per cent of Indianas coal
output.
The Pittsburgh district, regarded
as the key sector In the fight, is be-
ginning to rumble oninously.
The Pittsburgh Coal Company is
operating eighteen of it's mines on an
open shop basis and the union has
announced it will attempt to organize
a strike" in these mines.
Crowd Dispersed
Three hundred and fifty striking
miners were ordered to move along
by Pennsylvania State police when
they gathered at one of the Pitts
burgh Company's mines Monday.
Illinois operators were planning a.
conference at st. Louis Friday, but
officials of the operators association
said union Representatives had not
been asked to attend the meeting.
Insistence of Ohio operators that
wage reduction must be the primary
consideration of further negotiations
brought a refusal from the union
camp to send representatives to a
conference in Columbus. Ohio, this
week.
Miners demand a continuation OF
the $3.50 daily scale of the expired
Jacksonville agreement. Operators
claim they can not compete with
non-union mines of West Virginia
and Kentucky on this pay basis.
