H. MENKEN devOtes the leading
a .JtoriaI in the July issue of his
macazine TO a description of the
Tsrious kinds of drinks which he has
Sser imbibing under the VOlstead
JisnpnsatiOn. The names of wines
and whiskeys given by the Balti-
more cynic in his article would re-
mind one of the price list of a Sas-
Eatchewan liquOr store. There ap-
npars TO be no dearth of stimulating
drinks in the Maryland Free State
4 we are to Judge from the pages
Of the Mercury. What a farce
bis enforcement of the dry law is!
The flood of booze is so strong in
Menken's territory that he has deem
ed it advisable to evolve a book of
etiuuette on thinking. We seem to
Be entering an era similar to that
which preceded the fall of Rome.

HAM AND SAM, the cid journalistic
harIOt from Belgrade, is now a can
didate for state office. He seems to
be getting dissatisfied with the
crumbs falling from the table of the
Big interests and is now trying to
climb on the taxpayers back where
he can lap up some public gravy,
What a dispicable old creature and
what a sorry figure he cuts in his
declining days? He should don his
nightshirt and cover his head with
his pillow slip and hold his old fry
cross in front of him when he be
gins to tour the state. Another is
sue of the ''Klansman" printed al
his plant might also hasten the day
when the old Ham political actor
becomes a state official. Poor ole
Sam-what a sad ending!
