HOW IT WORKS
It was a hot nummer day. .It waa
also dusty. One hundred and fifty
wen were riding from town to town
In central Kanmt, in autoa, on a
trade extension tour. They were
Kansas men, merchant, lawyers,
doctors, editors, clerks, mechanics,
bankers, farmers. From time to
time they topped at thirteen towns
during the day'a run. No one in
the crowd spoke of beer. No one
iiad any beer. Nd one at the thir
teen towns offered aJiy beer to any
one. At most of the towns there
were great, deep stone Jars of Iced
lemonade on the sidewalks, with
bright tincups hanging -from the
Jars, and " sign up, " Welcome, Bin
porians." There was no whlaky,
beer or wine in the crowd. No one
missed it. No one spoke of it. For
these men, ranging from 0 to i-0,
had llvtd In Kansas thirty years un
ite r absolute prohibition. Must f
them had never been in a saloon in
their lives. Booze was as remoje
from their consciousness as carbol
ic add. Booze is not in the Kanaaa
scheme of things. No one thinks of
It. Its presence or absence is not
considered by the Kansas mind.

Citizens differ as to the wisdom
of particular measures to ,Jopt-
ed, but good citizens cannot difler
as to the principle In vol oil, aid
the end to be attained. In the
light of the nature of alcohol as es
tablished by moderi science all good
ciiMKens must be unuea in me con
clusion that under present condi
tion the destruction of alcohol is
the very first duty of the Govern
ment. While the real nature of alcohol
has been little understood, hereto
fore, our courts have already found
it a danger and a public menace And
have ruled that the government has
plenary power to suppress Its manu
facture and sale. The Supreme
court of the United States, ia U.
S. 86, Kpeaklng of the saloon, said.
"As it ia a business attended with
dangers to the community, it may,
as already said, be entirely prohibited."

"Clean Up the Bowels and
Keep Them Clean"
There are many remedies to be
had for constipation, but the tlifti-.
culty is to procure one that acts
without violence. A remedy that
docs not perform
b y force what
fehould be accom
plished by persua
sion is Dr. Miles'
Laxative Tablets.
After using them,
Mr. N. A. Waddell,
315 Washington
St., Waco, Tex.,
says:
"Almost all my
life I have been
troubled with constipation, and have
tried many remedies, all of which
seemed to cauce pain without giving
much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles'
Laxative Tablets and found them ex
cellent. Their action ia pleasant and
mild, and their chocolate taste makes
them easy to take. I am more than
glad to recommend them."
"Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean," is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual con
stipation. Do not delay too long,
but begin proper curative measures.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area
new remedy for this old complaint,
and a great improvement over the
cathartics you have been using in
the past. They taste like candy
and work like a charm. A trial
will convince you.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at 25 cents
a box containing 25 doses. If not
found satisfactory after trial, re
turn the box to your druggist and
he will return your money. 13

quor Is not a natural right to pur-
Due an ordinary calling; there la no
Inherent right In citizen to thus

Is not a privilege of a citizen 01

Following up the Court's decision
Judge Artman of the Circuit Court
of Indiana declared: "(1) The sa
loon, being a public menace, U in
herently unlawful. (21 Heing Inher
ently a public menace, the saloon
cannot be metde a private right by
legislative act." He terms the li
quor traffic "The Legalized Outlaw."
The United States Court of the
District of Columbia declared, "The
low places, bar rooms and tippling
houses are on a footing of tolerance
only, and an application for license
la not to be regarded as a business
man preparing to engage In any law
ful business.
1 The legislature of all the states
have confirmed the rtatua of the sa-
'ioon that of an outlaw at com
mon Taw, and all have enacted stat
utes prohibiting the saloon. In oil
the states except the prohibition
t.ta'tes, however, the statutes pro
vide for a license, suspending the
criminal provisions of the statute,
suspending the prohibition as to the
license.
The Congress cf 'the United States
recognizes this common law status
of the palcon In Its excise tax, de
during that the federal tax la net

tax.
The United States Supreme Court,
in 101 U. S. 814, says: "No leglala
Lure can bargain .away tthe public
health or the public morals. The
people themselves cannot do It, much
ess the servants. Government is
organized w5 h a view to their pres
ervation and cannot divest itself of
the power to provide for them."
Nevertheless, the license system
as adopted and administered by the
executive branches does effectually
bargain away the public health and
the public morals, and the United
States Government, whame upon it,
does not hesitate ito issue Its feder
al license where the sale 1 in di
rect violation of municipal and state
law, thus making Itself partlceps
crlmlnls In the violation of law,
Saw designed to protect the public
health and public morals.
Indeed, the greatest weakness of
existing methods is the maladminls
tration of law by the executive and
polite authorities.
There are three principal reasons
why governments have not done
and are not doing their duty toward
the suppression of alcohol. First
because the liquor Interests, recog
nizing their guilt, are sleeplessly a;
tive in their political efforts, sup
potted by exhaustless funds, to cap
iure and control the branches of
government, legislative, judicial and
executive. Next, because the traffi;
being inherently lawless, through
the use of Its own liquors dsbauth
r s anld degenerates the public and
the public servants. Third, because
through the license fees nd through
connivance In the enforcement of
regulatory laws the government se
cures revenue and public oflcials en
rich themselves. In the last analy
sis this neglect of duty is based on
the labsenoe of public opinion on the
pant of the masses as to the true
nature of alcohol and the appalling
results that come from Its use.
