A young man unhappily married and practically penniless took his tale of woe to a prominent divorce attorney In Chicjigo and concluded with this; "I'm too poor to pay much for a di vorce, but my wife makes my life mis erable. After I get home at 6 o'clock In the evening 1 get no peace until I go to sleep. What would you advise?" "After considering all the facts in your case," said the lawyer, "I would suggest that you get a job which re quires you to work all night"—Ex change. Mrs. STddbns. After she had retired from the stage Mrs. Slddons was found studying Lady Macbeth and said, "I am amased to discover some new points In the char acter which I never found out while acting It" i The best government Is that which teaches us to govern ourselves. \ w I I The Prohibition Farce Now Being Played Should Be Pertinently | I Called "The Dryer the Wetter" j, Under the trite title of "Prohibition and Revenue," a Philadelphia paper contains jh an editorial of timely interest. Extracts follow: "There is something about our WJ national excise revenues which needs explanation in view of the fact that nearly half of the States have absolute prohibition laws and that much of the territory in the other States is 'dry' The 'wet' territory still seems to have a majority BJ I of the population, but the 'dry' districts are growing rapidly. Therefore, we ||j I are amazed at the following official figures of revenue from the taxes on Iji liquors, beers, etc- Read the comparative table: Whisky receipts in 1915 were BW $137,004,131, in 1916 were $160,990,660; beer receipts in 1915 were $86,708,803; in 1916, were $91,718,375. In both instances there was a large increase and the II j, rate of taxation was the same, showing an enormous increase in consumption. 1 | Mr. Bryan believes that this country will be entirely dry within ten years and IjjA there are very many who agree with him, even though they are opposed to it. If so, it is certain that there will have to be a remarkable change either jl in the execution of the laws or in the assuaging of thirst .... We are jjlj not arguing the point, but calling attention to the fact that some way and some- rgf how the consumption of alcoholic drinks increases in spite of prohibitory laws." |ij^ Another Philadelphia paper, also ro-uvsv- '* on the report of the Internal Reve- |ll nue report, says: "Evidently the t: irst cf C:s nation is not being quenched by dry wM laws . . But the figures are of pertinent interest as affording a measure of the problem which is involved in the plan of national prohibition, or the total eradication of distilled and malt intoxicants from the United States. They meas ure the conditions against which the theory must operate. The fact of con sumption is quite as important to consider as the fact of production. The lat- TOW ter may be stopped by mandate of law, and that is the simpler part of the pro- U\ gram. But individual taste and desire and habit are not as readily subject to ttim legislative dictation and control." From the above editorials is once more shown eH the FALLACY that Prohibition prohibits, when the FACT is made manifest that I all it does is to prevent the regulated and legalized sale of alcoholic beverages.
