A Curiosity In Nomenclature. The negroes in tli£ British West In dian island of Grenada find ii very dif ficult to keep track of t teir descent and their relatives because of a curious custom they follow in naming children. The father's Christian name is given to the son for his surname. Thus if a man is named John Jones his son may be called James John and that son's son Robert James, and so on to the end of the chapter. Naturally in a few generations families get into a hope- 1 less muddle, and nobody knows exact ly to whom he is related. Curious Courtship. In the strange land of the Taraecan Indians in Mexico the visitor, after at- : talning something of a friendly foot ing, may still witness some of the equally strange practices which the first Spaniards observed. In courting the lover goes to the well where his be loved is accustomed to fill her water jar. He holds her until she ac cepts him, and then with a stick he breaks the jar which she holds on her * head and gives her a betrothal baptism of water. An Impossible Undertaking.

FALLACY is an appar ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument. PROHIBITION is repressive government. Schiller in one of his / essays says the evil of such law is in making creatures of men. I Yet Prohibitionists impose upon people the FALLACY that man- / " tic J< , kind can be made moraily better by statutes that are repressive— / . even oppressive. UUoV€riliTl6lli IT IS education—not law—that cultivates and develops self-reliant, self-disciplined, strong men —fully cognizant of their own responsibility for their own acts. The slogan of American citizenship, therefore, should be. "Come what may, we shall be men, not 111 creatures." I*\ \ " £ rjR. JOHN EMERSON ROBERTS, writing on the FALLACY MM i ■ of Prohibition, points to the FACT that there is good in every- * thing and bad in everything; that everything mankind uses is good or bad acccr< *ing t0 the way it is used. And this applies to all things ] .2. that enter into the life of men. r rp 1-1 E SAYS: "Eating may become gluttony; drinking may become Vj drunkenness; love may become lust; power may become UftVK \j oppression; government may become tyranny. It is not the use, but ' I the abuse of a thing which is to be condemned. Gluttony is not the !'• jL yj fault of ihe meat; it is the fault of the meat eater." y4\W PROHIBITIONISTS go at reform in the wrong way. If their fir*v\ V philosophy was adopted, to prohibit everything that is or may \ be abused, there would be nothing left in life; for everything is abused • somewhere by somebody. Prohibitionists assert that the drinking of any kind of beverage, containing any quantity of alcohol, is evil and only evil, and therefore should be prohibited by lnw. 11l ' PROHIBITIONISTS d'vide society two classes: the "wet" and the "dry." In ail their talks they imply that the "drys" F7\T I fiIVW comprise the good and pure, while the "wets" are a depraved sort IALLMy 1 ]j tobogganing toward Had-s Prohibitionists encourage the inference \Ajr™ that all who are opposed to Prohibition are opposed to the church, VVL I U | religion, and to morals generally. This is FALLACY. The FACT is I that many of the best men in every community, judged from the j RAT) (V)f)T) \ r ~ standpoint of high moral character, are moderate users of alcoholic - V L , , stimulants.
