TOjcat of an arid nor!.!, mnrl thin
atatefatnt last night In nn addr nt
the, Academy of Musi Mr Johnson,
who gained IntornaHonol fnmp Uipn
mobbd by student In London whilo
campaigning for prohibition. ni cor
dially received.
'.Despite his dry Mibjrct. the jpcaW
managed to nrotr- rio rnd of 'mmh?
with bla rffefvesceut philosophy and
snappy-iniernini.
A ripple of laughter ran through the
auditorium when Mr. Johnson predicted
that Scotland would be on of the firist
European countries to follow Amrrlca'a
example and denote itself henceforth to
"Hod without."
:Chuckles ngniti weie heard when the
pealcer Mild that Ireland would be
next, as "all Sinn Telners are abstain
er, It for no other reason than that a
drunken 'Irishman rannot Keep a se
cret." However, the audience seemed
to. laugh in spite of itself, for both
statements Wert- rordiallr applauded.
I "Pussyfoot" Wins HU Audience
(Introduced br Wirnio II Wheelrr.
general eounfel of the Anti -Saloon
Ltjaxue; aa "the grrntet fighter who
ever stood in shoe leather." Mr John
son was clven an ovation. The audience
arose and cheered him.
'And "Pussyfoot" immediately won
Is listeners by i-aying:
i"When I got mixed up in n certain
rlefc ih London, in which t plavcd the
star part and lost nn eye, I was merely
ealoyinr myself."
Mr. Johnson at once sweeps aside
any preconceived picture of the "le
forraer" or "blue htockinj;" that mav
b!n the mind of those who arc to meet
him. He is n big. sturdy, broad
khoulderrd man, loolliis for nil the
world more like a brencr than IIKe a
prohibitionist. About fifty-eight years
A Few Thoughts of
"Pussyfoot Johnson
"When I got mixed up In a riot in
London and lout an eye, I was
merely enjoying myself."
"If America wabbles in her pro
hibition the world will be wet for
another hundred years."
"As soon ns Ireland controls its
nnn affairs slip will chase the rum
shops out of the country."
"If you want to find rum twenty
years from now you will have to look
In the dictionary."

Idealist
The glnss cc which has, taken the

nf temperance gics. his fnre n strange
expression. I'or, while the good eye
winks and smiles, the big, toiiud arti
ficial, one stnres ns If fixed upon the fu
ture. And Mr. Johnson says; that with
that eye he can 'Vee" tilings that arc
as a closed book to his real eye.
No "Pussxfool" In Speech
Mr, Johnson by no meaus lives up to
his nickname which he has come to re
gard ns nn honor title so far ns his
manner of speech is concerned. "Pussy
footing" is ns foreign to him as the
liquor habit As n matter of fact, some
of his hearers ngieed that his langunge
was the one thing connected xxith prohi
bition possessing u powerful "kick"
that had come to their nttention.
"Pussyfoot." first of nil, told of his
work in Turopc nnd, particularly, of
what he nnd his associates accom
plished nt the Pence Cotifeicnrc, Then
lie Inutiehed into n picture of a future
worldi in which "rum" will be found
only in dictionaries.
"The modest results of our work thus
for." lie said, "show what we inn do
with larger means nnd larger equip
menr. Since October I moie than '2000
rrohibition meetings have been held in
Great Uritain. nnd in each of them the
American Anti-Saloon League took
part. The xvorld is looking to America
to banish liquor everywhere for all time.
I repeat the xvords of n high member
of the British Government:
" 'If America mnkes good if she
enforces the law the world will be
dry within ten years. It she wabbles,
the xxorld xx ill bo xxct for another 100
jenrs.' "
The locnl option moxcnient in Scot
land, knoxvn as the "local veto" move
ment in that country, said Mr. John
ton, is gaining ground steadily. Tf
progress keens up its present pace, he
added, Scotland may be free of the
liquor traffic within n year.
So far ns Irelnnd xvna concerned.
"Pussvfoot" nid that txx-enty-three of
the twenty-six Parliament members
from Ulster wcro pledged to prohibi
tion. "As soon ns Ireland controls Us own
iffairs." he declared, "she xvlll chase
the rumshops out of the couutry, no
mrtter what form her go eminent is
to take."
In I lint rotinectlon, Mr. Johnson said
the Sinn Pelners xycro total abstainers
perhaps more from caution than from
principle.
