HIGH LIGHTS IN KEY-NOTE
ADDRESS TO DEMOCRATS
Chicago, June 27—Here are some
pointed sentences from the keynote
address of the Democratic Nutional
convention, delivered Monday by
Senator Alben W. Barkley, of Ken
tucky:
* * *
‘‘This convention should recom
mend the passage by congress of a
resolution repealing the eighteenth
amendment and its summission to
the people of the states through
conventions. v
* * *
“No fair man or woman wishes to
be unjust to Mr. Hoover or his ad
ministration. . . . But that the
Hoover administration and the poli
cies it has pursued have largely con
tributed to the disaster which has
overtaken ours and the world’s af
fnirs no intelligent observer can dis
pute.
“We propose to reduce the exor
bitant and indefensible rates of the
Smoot-Hawley, Hoover-Grundy tariff
act. . . . We propose again to start
the wheels of industry and afford
an outlet for the energies and ambi
tions of industrious men and wo
men.
* * *
“We shall undertake to afford
(to the farmer) in this emergency
the character of relief which has
been so genrously granted to other
forms of industry and finance.
* * *
We propose to abolish every use
less office, every unnecessary bu
reau and commission.
I
* * *
“We should restrict the channels
of stock market operations and ex
pand those of commercial oper
ations. . . . Banking institutions as
such should be divorced from stock
market operations of the character
which contributed to the . . . loss
of billions of dollars and the confi
dence of our people.
* * *
“The only constructive measures
brought forward in this congress
originated with the Democratic
membership of that body.
* * *
“On the fourth of next March .
. . the nominee of this convention
will be inaugurated president of the
United States.’’

“THEY ALMOST HAD ME
FOOLED”
(Contributed by W. C. T. U.)
From time to time we shall pub
lish in this column, “They Almost
Had Me Fooled,” a simple statement
of salient facts, together with data
often asked for and seldom avail
able on the prohibition question.
Prohibition is under discussion ev
erywhere. It is frequently misun
derstood, because it is so often mis
represented,
They Told Me That If Beer And
Wine Were Taxed, It Would
Bring Back Prosperity
Liquor Tax A Boomerang
The “unselfish” wets are so con
cerned about the poor man and his
taxes, that they are proposing to
trade that burden for his vote in
favor of prohibition repeal and
promise that liquor will pay Uncle
Sam a billion dollars.
Sounds Fine, But Let’s See
At the peak of liquor consumption
the tax was about 300 million. For
every dollar the government got in
liquor taxes, the people had to
spend five dollars as the cost of
drunkenness, drink-made poverty
and crime, waste in industry, etc.
Who Pays The Liquor Tax
True, the brewer or distiller
writes the check, but the money
comes across the bar, and chiefly out
of the low wages of the poor.
So the truth is that the records
show: ,
300 million paid in taxes (by the
people) through liquor. 1500 mil
lion paid for charity (by the people)
because of liquor. 1000 million put
into the pockets of the liquor ba
rons.
And, to raise the billion that the
wets promise, all those figures would
have to be multiplied by three and
a fraction.
The wets propose to put Uncle
Sam on his feet with a liquor tax
but they don’t show where the peo
ple are to get the money, nor how
the people can drink all that booze
and stay on their feet.
They Told Me Prohibition is a
Failure
(Argument of those who do not
think).
Who Is To Drink It?
The following is the report of an
actual dialogue which took place
between two American citizens, one
of them a business man and the oth
er a clergyman, to whom the busi
ness man spoke frankly, as one does
to a good friend:
“Well,” said the layman, with an
air of finality,” “Prohibition is a
failure, and we must get used to
the idea of making America ‘wet’
again.”
“But who is to drink the liquor?”
queried his friend. “Will you?”
“Why, no,” he replied, “you know
I am a teetotaler.”
“Will your son drink it?”
“No, that shall not be!”
“Would you want it to come back
for the sake of your clerks?”
“No, it is my practice to discharge
any clerks who drink liquor.”
“Do you want your customers to
drink it?”
“No, I would much rather not; I
am sure that those who use strong
! drink will not buy so much from me
or pay their bills so promptly.
“Would you want the engineer
on your train to use it?”
“No, I admit I don’t want to ride
on a drundard’s train.”
“Ah, then, you want this liquor
for the men whom you meet driving
cars on the public highway?”
“No, of course not; that is a
danger to everybody.”
“Well, then, who is to drink this
liquor in America, pray tell me?”
“I am not sure that anybody
should drink it. I guess we are bet
ter off without it.”—The Christian
Observer.
Fifty Hoboes Forced To Abandon
Northbound Freight Train At
Toccoa
Toccoa, Ga.—On last Tuesday a
bout fifty hoboes were taken off of
a northbound freight train here by
a railroad detective, the city officers
and the county sheriff, and were
escorted to the city limits. They
were watched until they were out of
the county. There were old men,
young boys, and negroes in the
group. None of the men looked des
perate, but they all had grim faces
and looked to be undernourished.
There were no ex-service men in
the crowd.
