SIX LOOK OUT FOR THE MINE IN YOUR PATH It Is as Destructive as Dynamite and More Cruel Copyright, 1014, by Htar Company. Whiskey does for the individual human being what the hidden mine of dynamite does for the ship. But dynamite works more swiftly and kindly than whiskey. When the ship strikes the hidden mine there comes a shock, a roar, and everything is over. The boat goes down, the lives are snuffed out. The water becomes smooth, and that is all. Not so with that more dangerous mine shown in this picture-- A MINE FLOATING IN YOUR PATH, and in the path of every man. Not in war time alone, but in all time, life’s ocean is mined with this destructive power. LOOK OUT FOR IT. Young men are reading the war news today. It is a good time to talk to them about the enemy that shows no truce, no time of peace---whiskey. Every kind of fighting known to war is known to whiskey. It destroys always CRUELLY. Sometimes the de struction is relatively swift, sometimes it is very slow, sometimes, and in the worst cases of all, it lasts through out a long life. Whiskey cheats and marches under false colors. It attacks the old and the young, and knows no rules of warfare. Tell the young man who thinks he can “take whiskey or leave it alone” that what he says is perfectly true. HE CAN take it, OR leave it alone. But if he takes it he will probably find that he can’t leave it alone. BETTER DECIDE TO LEAVE IT ALONE. WAR AND WHISKEY ARE TWINS. War causes poverty, so does whiskey. War spreads disease and misery, so does whiskey. War destroys life, and makes man regardless of the rights of othcrs---so does whiskey. War is with us only occasionally. WHISKEY IS WITH US ALWAYS, AND THAT IS THE PITY. Whiskey is powerful and taxes men as heavily as war taxes them. And whiskey taxing men, taxing life, weakening the nation. KNOWS HOW TO AVOID ITS SHARE OF THE TAXES. Did you observe the other day that when money had to bo raised for the Government WHISKEY, THE MAN KILLING POISON, MANAGED TO DODGE ITS SHARE? You read that there was to be a heavy tax on beer and a tax on whiskey. But there was no tax UPON THOSE THAT MAKE THE WHISKEY. Whiskey distillers escaped. HOW? The tax on whiskey should have been prohibitive. The country should have had the intelligence to do what the English have done---pile up the tax on whiskey, and discourage its use. But thanks to political cunning, thanks undoubtedly to the wise use of money by the whiskey makers-- WHIS KEY ESCAPED THE TAX. A committee has been appointed to investigate the peculiar and interesting fact that the great manufacturers of alcoholic poison escaped their share of taxes. It should investigate thoroughly, but mere investiga tion of whiskey will do no good. Forbidding whiskey making and whiskey selling alone will answer the purpose. Whiskey is a poison, and worse than the ordinary poisons, for it destroys the mind and the moral character first, THE BODY AFTERWARDS. Whiskey should be classed with morphine, cocaine and the other deadly drugs. Work to make your fellow citizens realize the nature of whiskey, the MENACE of whiskoy, and work to have laws place it as it should be placed, among the recognized poisons. The nation says to every man, "You shall not tempt your brother with opium, morphine or cocaine." It should also have the intelligence to say, "You shall not tempt him or poison him with whiskey." While you work against whiskey work for the aboli tion of the whiskey traffic, talk to young men, and explain the character of whiskey. If any man tries to defend the whiskey business, if he talks commonplaces about the right of a man to do what he likes, ask him this question: "What would you say to the man who gave whiskey to your boy fifteen years old?" You KNOW whiskey to be a poison, and you would consider criminal the man who should offer it to your son. One of the biggest whiskey makers and distillers in this country talked intelligently of temperance in a vague way. At the time he was not drinking WHISKEY, but a very mild solution of German wine and water. He was told, "You are one of the biggest makers of whiskey in the world. And you would consider the great est criminal in the world and the greatest enemy of your family any man who should make your son a user of the whiskey that YOU produce." Why should a man be permitted to sell to the children of others that which he would not permit any man to give to his own children? THE MINE By Hal Coffman The sea of life, like the great ocean, is mined---and the mine spells destruction. This is an excellent cartoon, because it impresses the whiskey lesson, using as example the news of the day. NO PROHIBITION IN CALIFORNIA And No Further Move In "Dry” Movement For Eight Years.
