DO THEY MKAX IT! re minds us of a poem, the title of which is "Orator Puff," wherein is the sentence: .My voice is for war," the speaker using j feminine ami masculine tones! in the expression. General lumston is reported to be chafing to march on to Mexico City- Congress has been showing its impetuosity for some time. The press has a tone for war, and most persons show more or less of a disposition in dicative of hope that there will be something exciting along that line, which leads us to think that there is a good ileal of bel- j liferent ' material left in the I American people yet, and that: the peace sentiment has not de- j veloped to the elimination of the righting propensity. General Sherman said that '"War is hell," and he had seen sutlicient of it to qualify him to judge of its conditions, but while every patriotic citizen will fight for his country when his help is needed, we are greatly inclined to believe that most of this war sentiment is expressed in the hope that the other fellow will have the lighting to do. General Fuuston, no doubt, would be in his element in a inarch to' Mexico City. He is brought up and instructed in the art of fighting and would like to have a chance to display his ability, hut he is only a di rector, the other fellows will do the fighting. Congress will be safe so long as the army stands between them and the foe, and the rest of us are safe under the same circumstances. We hardly think that these aggregations would delight in bloodshed and suffering, and we are inclined to think that it is only the love for excitement and diversity that peeps out through perverted humanity. For National Prohibition A recent attempt of a mail or der liquor house to sell its mail ing lists to institutes for the cure of drunkenness, according to re cent press reports, was brought out by the publication of two sim ilar letters to different parties. 10,000 were offered for $200, or 40,000 to 50,000 for $400. The significance of the effort is brought out in two quotations from the letters, one being that "Our customers are your pros pective patients." The other, re ferring to the list says: "Each man on it has been a regular buyer of liquor by mail and a constant user of it, and there is not a single one who would not like to quit the habit. Each man is alive to the injury of his prac tice, and he is only awaiting some way of stopping." The liquor company was about to sell out its interests. If this report be correct it fur- nislies one of the ronot ar;ii ait'iils for national prohibition. p0rtlio 1'niteil Stat.s I'.oYorn- I'lt'llt to ptM lllit tllO HlllUs to he used for tln I'tuhluolint; ol a busi ness wliifli while enriehins; the promoters at the impoverishment of the customers, also makes on eh easterner a roeetivo patient for a hospital for the euro of drunk enness if not for more serious conditions, is not in harmony with its policy iilonj; other lines. If a man uses the mails in tle friuuliiij; another the prison hurs confront him, notwithstanding he causes no physical injury to his victims, hut the manufactur er of liquors may use the mails freely to advertise and conduct his luisiness, and send out his products, which impoverish hoth soul and body as well as the ! purse, and leave the country dot i tt-d with suhieets for the hospital or other institutions, and in all this he is protected by the pres ent laws of the country. A number of the states have I forbidden the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors with in their own borders, but one of the greatest obstacles to prohibition within such states is the protec tion which liquor manufacturers and dealers have in the national laws, by which liquors can be shipped into prohibition states against their protest. True this Jitl'icnlty has been partially rem edied under the recent Webb law, but only partially. The mail order house selling liquor still flourishes. National prohibition is the on ly remedy which will give the people full protection along this line. When the manufacture and sale of liquors are stopped within the United States, and when the mails hi e closed to the advertis ing and carrying tif them, then the people will find protection through the national govern ment, a protection that shields the morally weak from the ava ricious dealer who plays upon debasing appetite in order to fill his coffers with wealth.
