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.

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. Zion's
