Here the represent aii-ves of the great American Whisky trade parade before you. , ; The distiller , who makes the
whisky,, the jobber who sells it at wholesale, the retailer - who sella It ovr the bar. and watches the small lass of water
that follows the whiskey and the uar that follows both, are hero. The .CONSUMER, too, is in this picture. Where are you?
This cartoon needs no editorial, it
needs not a line written with it. ...
But we write to prge our millions
of readers who are fortunately free
from any personal interest in this
procession to think about this pic
ture, to place it before the eyes of
those who have taken up their posi
tion in the rear ranks of this whis
key regiment. ,- ,
If you point this out to a young
man who has begun to drink whis
key, or to an old man who is letting
whiskey get hold of him, tell that
man old William R.Travers' favorite
story about the yachts at Newport.
Sailing into the harbor at Newport
he saw many beautiful yachte at
anchor on the sunny water. . ,
"Whose boat is that?" -
Guaranteeing Deposits.
: , , vl
If the United States government
which can at any time inspect a bank
and find out just what it is doing
and how its business is being con
structed, requires security for its
deposits, why should not security be
given to the depositor who. cannot
examine for himself and does not
know anything about the bank's sol
vency or metnods? Any loss to the
national government tovthe Stata.to
the country, or to the city would
by all the people, and thus be small
upon each one, while the loss to the
loss to the individual has to be borne
entirely by himself and may. wipe
out his entire savings. Is not the
argument stronger in favor of the
protection of the nation, the state,
the county, or the city? -
But the case is even stronger when
the bank is required . to put up spe
cific security for the protection of
national, stateeotinty or city depos
its. Its giltedged securities are thus
hypothecated and the inferior secur
ities are left for the security of the
depositors, so that as a . matter of
fact, the public deposits are not only
protected, but they are protected at
the expense of the individual depos
itors. ...What shall we say of a na
tional bank which willingly gives the
government specific security and
then opposes the protection of de
positors.. And strange to say, these
big banks that get the big deposits
from the government upon specific
security are te very ones that have
f.r- '..t and are fighting the system
for the guaranty of depositors. It
is time' that the depositors under
stood the situation and j t together

you in it?
n'K
If you must be in this procession
of whisky, if you are able to ride in
this procession in the automobile,
the carriage or the buggy, we have
nothing to say. That is a matter for
your conscience and inclination.
But if your place in the whisky
procession is with the men on foot,
in the great horde at the rear, we
HAVE something to say..
Get out of that procession. The
longer you stay in it the farther you
will drop toward the end.
Sooner or later you will have to
get out of it. It is better to get out
by an effort of the will and an as
sertion of character than by the
force of circumstances. Leave the
E recession of your own free will.

MGla Back To the Farm.
"A Reader," referring to the prob
lem of the unemployed, says: "Men
and women that have failed really
to sustain themselves in : the city,
those that "can not hold a job" will
tent on what is usually meant by a :
farm, even if they could be induced
to go to one which they can not.
Experience has shown that such fam
ilies can not be thus helped, even if
given a farm and its necessary tools,
without taoney and without price.
They do not know what to do with
the land, and having no taste, in
most cases, for the life, they have
no "desire to learn. .They get dis
couraged, and drift back to the city;
they would rather fight for a crust,
or starve in a crowd than enjoy plen
ty in the loneliness and steady work 1
work of the farm. They have
never learned to think,' or to plan
for themselves, and they can not di
rect their work to any success; they
are like children, in many respects
they are even more .helples in the
country than in the city. The idea
of relieving the city of its conges
tion by transplantingnts surplus peo
ple to thoseho belong to the soil
because they were bred there, and
know what to do with the soil, and
who are tired of their mistake in
giving up the life they were fitted
to enjoy for the struggle in" which
they should have no part. As to
those having ho family ties, the life
on the farm holds little attraction
for them, for the farm people are
not their ways, and the wage, great
or small, does not companionship
with their own class, to be found
only in the city's bustling streets.
This class would not profit the farm
employer, even if it could be induced
to work in the fields which it can
not. They must work out their own
j ..Ivation; they have their own niches
to fill, they are, rroUL'y, the
