they stand your brusque treatment They have the

their debts; they purchase what they need; they
can hunt up promising investments and dream about

time remember that large number OF other people
whom we meet feeling the same way and would
appreciate smile and cheerful treatment and above

OUR COUNTRY HAS GONE BEYOND
THIS STAGE

William Green, president of the American Federation
Of Labor and Augustus Busch of spgo fame at the
front of the stage with new solution of the
worlds economic troubles These brethren have proposed
the scheme before so it must still be new
The proposal is the old familiar one of egazng the
manufacture of beer thus collecting $4OOO000O0 in
for the government and giving employment to
1,250OOO workers.
The alcoholic claim that beer is being drunk thar
before is laid aside for the They don't wish
explain how the egalzing of beer would give employ
to millions when have the maximum volume Of
beer already
the government however, rests upon better foundation
Possibly their claim mis- ht be But what of it Large
it might be, would not the cost of economic
loss and care of alcohols victims.
The old Louisiana lottery yielded such huge revenue
that the management thereof offered to pay the entire
penses OF the state government if their charter would be
renewed But the good people of Louisiana refused to be
bought.
Unquestionably the traffic in narcotics and the white
slave business would produce golden stream into the
treasury, if money all that the people cared for
Nevada is reapng goodly revenue out of her new
legazed gambling law and of her up-todate divorce
system. But who wants to live in Nevada?
If Nevada ideals have such strong appeal for Green
and Busch, why don't they go out there to live?
Some months ago, David Lloyd George declared that
the imperial policy of sousing primitive people in alcohol
reduces them to such state of mind that hey will stand
for anything. Is this the labor condition Busch and
Green covets for us?
America can and does pay the expenses of her gov
eminent out of cean honest money. She has quit the
policy of paying of the sufferngs and misery of
women and children.
