patriot does not say, "My country,
right or wrong, but "My country-to
ke«v her always right.” He seeks to
save her fair escutcheon from the
tarnish with wh'ch a false and narrow
patriotism would stain it.”
The national motto of the Hawaiian
peopk is beautiful: "The life of the
land is preserved in righteousness.”
Nations never rise higher than the
level of economic and social justice
which they guarantee to those who
labor and produce, and the soul of no
people is greater than all those things
done ‘unto the least of them’ by its
social and industrial systems.
Let us sec how this applies to
prohibition. In the May "Signal” we
find this : Professor Irving Fischer
has been unable to find any econo
mist who opposes prohibition. Prohibi
tion has been called the child of Big
Business^ Industries have recognised
the necessity of abstinence and what
prohibition has done for them. But
to tell the truth, "Big Business” is
not sufficienty interested in the
maintainanke of prohibition. Tbc
burden of establishing the policy, fix
ing it in the conviction of the people,
strengthening it in local politics
should be undertaken by business
men who realize how essentia] prohi
bition is to continued prosperity.
These men should know that the
nullification movement proceeds
largely from men who see the possi-
bility of establishing a five billion
dollar trade in beer, light wines, etc.,
and there is little they arc not willing
to do to provide means for such
enormous profits. Where would the
automobile business be if s five bil
lion dollar liquor trade were estab
lished? What would become of the
motion picture business and other
amusement industries? Have not the
dry goods, the grocery, and other in
dustries a vital concern in preventing
such a drain on business as would be
inevitable is suloons were found on
the corners of our streets?
Prohibition means millions to busi
ness men, the least they can do is
support it. They ought to bring every
pressure to bear to ytop ridicule and
misrepresentation of prohibition by
public agencies, stop selling hip pock-
ej flasks, and other things that

late the law. They ought themselves
to set an example of absticnce and
law support, and contribute to the
prestige of prohibition. They ought
to have a clear understanding with
the legislative, judicial, and executive
branches of the government, and in
sist on cooperation in all methods of
enforcement. What applies to big
business applies to the individual.
These things carried out would mean
patriotism in prohibition.
The true patriot will pray for de
liverance from all litllene*«, narrow
ness, prejudice or hate; he will pray
for the love of humanity and the
spirit of service. The true patriot
votes as well as fights and does it
much oftener. Many an ardent
patriot who would die for hiy coun
try in times of danger is not enough
interested in her welfare to vote in
times of peace. He should vote and
be sure he votes right to help prohi
bition and to prevent the nullifica
tion of the law and then live every
day what he says he believes.

Depend On
When we recondition a used car we do
the job thoroughly. The motor is gone
over completely by expert mechanics
and put into condition to give thousands
of miles of dependable service. Genuine
parts are used for all replacements.
Then we attach a Red O. K. Tag to the
radiator cap showing exactly what units
of the car have been put into first class
condition. This tag is your guarantee of
quality.
If you want to secure an unusual, de
pendable value in a used car visit our
used car display and inspect our recon
ditioned cars "with the O. K. that
counts." Both the quality and price
will please-you.
