W. C. T. U. NOTES MART NOTSON. Reporter. Discussing the question of state control of liquor In the event that the 18th amendment should be re pealed or modified, E. H. Cherring ton quotes from Lincoln's debate with Douglas in which Lincoln said that "a house divided against it self cannot stand." Also, he calls attention to the fact that the situa tion as to intoxicating liquor is different from that of slavery in that slavery was confined to a cer tain section of the country form ing a solid block, while state con trol of liquor will likely result in a checker-board arrangement of wet and dry states. This would make it very difficult to protect the dry states, as was well known be fore national prohibition came in. Another difference between slavery and liquor la pointed out. It is this: Slavery was recognized in the con stitution itself, while liquor has never been recognized as having any constitutional rights. The wets have consistently assert ed all along that they were opposed to the return of the saloon. An editorial in the Baltimore Evening Sun, under the heading, "Wisdom From a Dry," says: "The Reverend the Honorable F. Scott McBride, general superintendent of the Anti Saloon League, introduces a truly practical question when he ex presses a polite doubt that, without the Baloon, a beer tax will produce all that is expected of it. "We share his doubt and we fur ther doubt that most Americans will consider that beer has come back unless and until they are per mitted to prove it to themselves by going into a properly appointed em porium and asking a white-coated gentleman with a smooth coiffure and a certain embonpoint to draw one without too high a collar. The truth is that beer, above all other beverages, is a social drink. Moreover, lit is peculiarly a man s drink. The women who actually like it are numerous, but they are nothing compared to the men. Beer is the drink with which thoughtful, muninative men accompany their discussion of major matters. It is the drink which implies, moreover, a temporary cessation of the sex obsession. It implies a momentary relief from domestic concerns. It requires, therefore, .that it shall be mainly drunk away from home, in quiet and salubrious surroundings, with no women present and only those men in the vicinity who ap preciate good conversation." This editorial appeared in the Sun only a few short months after the paper had ridiculed the idea that anybody wanted the saloon. It proves just what the drys have contended, that the wets have had in mind all the time the return of the saloon. It is the old saloon and brewery crowd which have furnish ed a large part of the funds with which to fight prohibition.

It is just as necessary for him to be punctual at every night's practice as it is for the first team player, and just as essential that he be present at every game and that he observe the same strict rules of training. The cheers, however, are given the regular while the substitute sits unnoticed on the bench. Often times he goes through a whole sea son without a minute's game parti cipation. Yet the difference be tween him and the first team play er may be almost nil. Some coach es say that it takes just as much of courage and of the stuff great mem are made of to sit through a season thus, without recognition, as it does to take the knocks that come With game play. It is necessary for a winning team to have the confidence that comes with a good reserve strength to have a successful first string. Let us give more notice to our substitutes.

But who ever thought of Claire Phelan as a "Prince Charming," or Dick Benton as "the Kink of Piff Piff Land?" Well, all this is to be found in a skit presented by the Booster club this Friday at 3 o' clock. Another part of the program which is certain to be entertaining is a skit, "Shine.

Cold Weather Bugbear The Rhea creek bus was late Wednesday and Thursday, a week ago. Wednesday morning the en gine was very cold and the bus driver, Anderson Hayes, broke the crank trying to start tt He then borrowed a crank and, after work ing some time, got the motor start ed. The bus was forty-five minutes late that morning. Thursday morn ing, the coldest this winter so far, found the bus stiff and hard to start again. Anderson had had the broken crank welded, but upon try ing to start the motor, the crank broke again.
