BRICKBATS
FOR BOOSE
The problem presented by the gam
blers and parasites of Nome would
solve Itself with the solution of the
liquor problem. Booze Is the great
fertilizer that prepares the soli for
every kind of crime.
A merchant Is not allowed to sell
you food containing preservatives
that it takes a staff of expert chem
ists years to demonstrate as proba
bly harmful, but the booze vendor
can shoot you full of dope that every
body, including himself and yourself,
knows is putting you everlastingly on
the blink, and to stop him would be
a frightful Invasion of personal lib
erty.
Tho raun who votes for the saloon
votes for Its consequences. When
iho next victim of booze makes the
final trip to Belmont Point don’t fail
to walk around the long box and
take a look. You've got r half inter
est In him.
If you want to advertise Alaska
as a live, progressive commonwealth,
hand Old Mun Booze a blue ticket.
Look at the average ^Vlaska di
rectory and you will see the saloon
tempers listed as "merchants" and
the bartenders as "miners." In the
language of the coffee ad. "Why?"
And the language of Postum "There's
a Reason.”
We have never seen a "booster
edition" of a newspaper In Nome or
any other town point proudly to a
dozen saloons and wax eloquent up
on* the pr^'emy of tho "li iuor traf
fic In our n.usi''
« ■■ .
The breweries use pages of space
extolling the food-value of beer, "the
liquid bread." Funny, how the fel
low with his tank full of It will hit
up the passerby for two bits to get n
bite to eat.
When the next m.in tells you that
all thli gs arc subject to abuse, and
that more haim comes from over
eating than trom ovoi drinking, ask
him to cite you Instances of a man
coming home and beating up his wife
because ho had eaten too many pea
nuts, or a man whose social and busi
ness downfall was caused by an in
ordinate fondness for oatmeal mu3h,
or of a picnic fight that landed two
in the morgue and three in the hospi
tal and was caused by the partici
pants drinking too much butter milk.
A GREAT DISINFECTANT.
Prohibition has got a "blue- ticket
raid" skinned forty ways for clear
ing the moral lepers out of a com
* muntty. Formaldehyde Is no more
deadly than is a dry law to the Vam
pire brood.
IS IT INJURIOUS.
The law (of prohibition) does not
propose to deal directly with the per
sonal habits of men. It lays Its
hand on a traffic. Sales are public
acts, and always within the domain
of law. The law, for sufficient rea
sons of policy, prescribes tho man
ner and modes of sales of real and
personal property, makes void what
It chooses, regulates what It deems
dangerous, forbids, under penalties,
what It thinks mischievous. If It
lays either a regulating, a restrain
ing, or a prohibiting hand upon the
traffic in Intoxicants, It does no dif
ferently from what It does In regard
to adulterated meat, unwholesome
meat, dangerous explosives, fire
works, obscene publications, lottery
tickets, and numerous other subjects
of sale. Tho only questions society
asks, are: Is the trade Injurious? Is
It sufficiently so to call the Interfer
ence?—Judge Pitman.—Advt.
OVERSTOCK El'.
To the putitro -
We nave just finished stock taking,
