This is tho slogan of a lot of tho men in some of tho Labor Unions, and they aro trying to spread tho doctrine. Some of them in the East are trying to get other unions far ther west to adopt the idea. And by tho way, they try to head oiTtho prohibitory amendment to tho con stitution. It is another evidenco that evils die hard. When wo como to analyze the thing it is nothing moro or less than tho small minority trying to rule tho majority, and if they cannot do it, threaten tho majority with all kinds of calamities. That, to say tho least, is not American. In this country, tho majority rules. Tho minority havo to adjust themselves to it. Tho majority will see to it that they do. The thing is anarchistic in its very essence. This country of ours Is not ready for this sort of- rule. We cannot but bo reminded of tho old "Whisky Rebellion" of Washing ton's time. Wo also remember what became of It It was the first time tho j wors of tho federal government w v questioned. Now, tho federal pow mm aro not questioned, tho nion knou that tho government will make tho law good.' Though tho lato con gress did not mako nny law providing for tho enforcement of tho amend ment, tho men know it is coming, and they aro raising their protest. They aro not coining out in open robollion for they know that would get noth ing but troublo for them. They aro talking about a nation-wtdo strike, nnd they may strike though wo doubt It. But tho thing for which tho peo ple have stood for in so mnny com munities, and. so thoroughly as states in tho ratification of tho amondmont will not bo so lightly brushed aside, there will bo some Inconveniences stood for at tho hands of tho strik ers, the amendment will stick. As a pcoplo wo are not used to being stampeded by a minority, and wo arc not going to be in this. There is but ono argument for the booze question and that is, "I want it, and 1 am going to havo it." There is no man among us whoso personal rights transond tho rights of everyono else. If tho boozer was an evil to himself alone, it might not matter so much, but that is nev er tlio case. This is not alono a mor al issue, it is an economic Issue. It touches every man in tho stato and country moro or less directly, and so long as it remains an economic issue prohibition is going to stick. There has been a hard fight waged to get this far and there is not go ing 10 no any ict-up. u it becomes purely a moral issue, thero may bo some retrogression. It will never becomo a purely moral issue. Wo want to settlo a lot of things in a hurry, if they aro not settled quickly wo got impatient. Timo will settlo a good many things, hur ry will not. Soino aro anxious over things which nover happen. Theso men will mako a groat to do, but they aro not going to mako any open rebellion. Poor old Coxoy, wothot ho was dead, tho harlmless old gen eral of Hoboes of Populist days, ho is going in a motor car to Washington to protest. Ho has got past tho timo when ho will walk. Remember what he accomplished? Nothing! Ho had no fcrco then, and in the same strain ho,now scorns to bo float ing along with tho "No Beer, No Work" crowd. That bunch has tho wrong general to mako any headway. Supposo tho Allies had had a general who would not fight, just an easy go er, a non-resident, whero would wo bo now? That is where tho "no beer, no work" bunch will bo. Wo do not mean to minimize any possi bilities, but wo refuso to bo all "hot up" at presont. They probably moan what they say. After all bread and butter aro not mudo by strikes, and bread and butter is a necessity. Beer isn't. And tho necessary thing will win out over tho unnecessary.
