As Mr. Voltaire remarked to Mr, Helvetius, “I don’t believe a word of what you say, but will defend to the death, your right to say it.” So with the con- troversy going on in wet and dry circles. Hudson Maxim, a noted Jerseyman and defender of personal rights recently launched a broadside at the dry camp respecting “Denatured Americans.” His article aroused Samuel Wilson, an equally good Jerseyman, but a defender of the dry cause, who takes Sir Hud- son Maxim to task in Janguage like this: “T have derived much amusement, if not informa- tion or inspiration, from the letter of my fellow Jer- seyman, Hudson Maxim. Whenever Mr. Maxim takes his pen in hand to write about prohibition he gets real excited and throws rhetoric around regardless of consequences. “He would have us believe that the Spirit of 1776 was booze; or, as he superlatively phrases it, ‘Those old leathersides drank a brew that would make the home hootch of today seem like soda water.’ Those ‘ragged Continentals’ must have had leather stom- achs, as well as ‘leather sides.’ “If it was ‘red licker’ or ‘Dutch courage’ that in- splred Washington’s men to victory at Trenton, and Monmouth, and Yorktown, are we to believe that the Hessians drank near-beer, and the Redcoats ginger- pop? r. Maxim writes of ‘the same arm and brhin that framed the pronunciamento of freedom, the Declara- tion of Independence, and that architrave of liberty, the Constitution of the United States; and the same arm it was, guided by the same brain, that raised the giass to the lips that said, ‘Give me liberty—or give me death!’ “This means that the founders of this republic drank liquor. Sure they did. They also kept slaves, ard slaughtered the aboriginal Americans, and classi- fied women with their chattels. Their descendants have progressed as they gained wisdom, and have added nineteen articles to the original seven of ‘that architrave of liberty.’ They learned that the Liberty Bell that proclaimed ‘liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof,’ was merely sound- *ing brass so long as four millions of human beings were trafficked in as chattels; so they adopted the Thirtaenth amendment. They learned that the guar- anty in what Mr. Maxim terms ‘our architrave of lib- erty’ omitted half our population; so they added the Nineteenth amendment. Bitter experience taught the people that ‘justice,’ ‘domestic tranquility,’ the ‘gen- eral welfare’ and the ‘blessings of liberty’ guaranteed by the preamble of our Constitution were made void by the protected liquor traffic; so they adopted the Eighteenth amendment. “These added millions of citizens, to whom our fore- fathers denied ali sovereign rights, can be trusted to maintain their liberties, even though, in order to pro- tect future generations of Americans, they have de- nied to themselves the privilege of making and sell- ing booze. “Mr. Maxim’s contemptuous reference to total ab- stainers or prohibitionists as “denatured descendants’ of those whom he glorifies for their powers to absorb alcohol is an insult to the overwhelming majority of native-born Americans who wrote prohibition into \w, and to such master minds*as Lincoln, the total stainer and prohibitionist, who said: ‘Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total and final banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems to me not now to be an open question. Three- fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.’ Another ‘denatured American’ was Theodore Roosevelt, who favored and advocated con- 2OCBsAU He ne » a P H For every meal If youwould feel your best, Drink Butter-Nut 3 “The Coffee Delicious, It eater your () ndest Wishes. r +++.

Such laws are as old as Anglo-Saxon civ- ilzation. “As for ‘denatured Americans,’ petmit me to say that no law-abiding American has yet had occasion to justly complain of the prohibition law. Most of its vietims are not even American—they are chiefly aliens who haven’t been naturalized.” RS RT ete a, NORTH DAKOTA'S HEADACHE. “If nothing succeéds like success, it is equally true that nothing fails like failure, and the ‘Non-partisan league of North Dakota made a thorough job of fail- Thus soliliquizes the New York Tribune. “The present industrial commission of the unlucky state has surveyed the wreck. Its report is gloomy. “The state-owned Bank of North Dakota, having control of public moneys, has lost $225,000, besides the sums it has redeposited in privately owned banks now in feceivers’ hands. The flour mill and grain ele- vator at Grand Forks when completed will be worth $500,000 less than the building cost. The mill at Drake has lost $1.50 a barrel for every barrel of flour produced. The North Dakota Home Buildery’ asso- ciation has lost $113,000. Only one house has been sold at the price it cost the state. The net resglt of | the experiment in state industrialism is loss, loss, loss. “Whether the trial of paternalism would have been | very much leas disastrous had it fallen on happier days or been more fortunate in leadership is open to argu-| ment by theorists.

All very necessary, doubtless, but rather ineffect- ual. Regardless of the cause of the disaster, whether it was weight of snow or weakness of steel or ineffi- ciency of engineering or laxness‘ of building inspec- tion, or vibration caused by street cars on a crossing, the undoubted fact remains that it is not nearly so im- portant to “fix the blame” and “punish the guilty” as it is vitally important to know whether other such ac- cidents, both in the national capital and in other cities,, are now in process of getting ready to happen! The nation will look with far more favor on the congressman or senator who initiates something con- crete and tangible, looking to the prevention of such dreadful calamities in the future than on those who| seek an ephemeral local notoriety-by proposals to make a memorial park of the site or to decorate he- roic rescuers, or to hang, draw, and quarter the com- mittee of stockholders of the steel mill which hired the manager who employed the superintendent who paid the ‘workman who rolled the steel which went} into the truss which gave away! u eee ees, THE PROFESSIONAL UPLIFTER. While sane public opinion is opposed to profes- sional agents of reform and uplift, it has never as-| serted itself to the extent of combating these accel- erators of moral issues, for pay, with a view of ex- termination. Sincere volunteer workers for public and private good are honored and respected. They ere encouraged, assisted and made welcome in all emomunities; but the persons who make a business of uplift for their own financial gain and have overrun the country for the past several years are a different breed altogether. { What public opinion hfs failed to end, a New York essemblyman is seeking to do by legislation, in an act introduced to amend the penal laws in relation to the crime of hypocrisy which defines and provides pun- ishment of hypocrisy as follows: “Any person who for pay, hire, reward or in anticipation of any pay, reward, gift or other valuable thing or consideration, shall publicly advocate, advertise and support; or any person who as sponsor of such, shall solicit funds, gifts, contributions or any other valuable thing for the public advertising, support or sponsroship of any legislative measure calculated to infringe upon and restrain the free exercise of personal liberty shall be guilty of hypocrisy punishable as for a misdemeanor; and on conviction thereof, sentence shall not be sus- pended. This act shall take effect immediately.” The assemblyman may never see his bill enacted into law, but that is no sign it should not be upon the statute books and enforced. The country should by this time, be fed up on these demagogic reformers. In about nine cases out of ten they are nuisances and the affairs of the world would be much better off with- out them.

Remember when you buy Calumet Baking Powder you get 16 oz.— a full pound. The one pound size of Calumet has never been reduced. That’s one reason millions of housewives prefer and use Calumet.
