officers here in Evanston say the
convention is almost sure to endorse
the drive.
Says Ida B. wise Smith, national
president:
"In this period of world crisis, It
should be evident to all who cherish
the democratic way of life that no
nation eaten at the core by self
indulgence can long survive Only
a people made strong in body, mind
and spirit through self-discipline
can achieve or maintain true great
ness"
But, Mrs. Smith goes on:
1.-The view isn't so cheerful"
UNION POINTS TO
WARNING NATIONS
Today isn't 1917. BY the end of
that year 81 states were dry. Senate
and House were arid. Congress
passed and As states ratified the
prohibition amendment before war
time prohibition became effective
July l, 1919.
w. G. T. U. claims strong dry
sentiment today, but admits 1910
is no 1917 from a temperance view
point.
Just the same, Mrs. Smith and
her followers hope to condense the
1847-1917 temperance story into a
single 1940-41 chapter, with the de-
tense emergency doing most of the
condensing.
They claim Washington already
takes for granted that "mobiliza-
ton for war would require imme-
diate restrictions on the liquor traf-
fic."
They point to wartime prohibition
acts by belligerents in 1914-18, SIM
liar steps taken last winter by Ger
many, Japan and France, and Eng
lands restriction of liquor produc-
ton to one-third the 1888 output.
They say the U. S. should adopt
such restrictive measures now as
part of preparedness rather than
waiting until war strikes.

Another rumor is that the jocks
are planning State Convention,
with strong possibility that the
present Head Jockey will run for
q third term. That wouldn't please
our jockeys, If we had any, be-
cause we go heavy for conserva-
tive government and some Of our
town officials actually quit hold
ing office before death Overtakes
them. South Britain should be rep
resented at that convention just
to make sure everything runs off
smoothly.
Perhaps we can get Johnny
Short, Waterbury marketman, to
become a local resident long
enough to represent South Britain
at that Horse Jockey Convention.
Johnny drives a Buick today, but
there was q time when he could
trade the pants off any horse
snapper in Connecticut. We be-
lieve that he still can. Johnny
owns a hunting preserve up be-
yond the palatial hencoops and
farm buildings on the State Farm.
He drives out once in awhile to
pass the time of day and to listen
to the coon dogs run, but we
don't see half enough Of him. Per-
haps if we made him Grand Horse
Jockey Supreme, and helped him
lick that slick Bridgewater crowd,
we would see more Of him. We
need more and better horse joe
keys.
IT'S especially fitting that
horsemen gather at a place owned
by one Bill Stuart. The Stuarts
were always great horsemes and
all their offspring learned to ride
before they could walk. Years ago,
Bad Bill Stuart, the Bridgewater
Bandit, fancied horses SO much
that he borrowed them and forgot
to return them. He had q cave
and q hillside corral down on the
Shepaug across from Steve Rants
Place. He buried swag in Roxbury.
He passed funny money up and
down the Hoousatonic river at
every hosiery along the way, and
he made q lot Of friends around
these hills. Like everybody who
has anything to do with horses.
Bad Bill Stuart had a lot Of good
in him and, sometimes, he let it
out.
