THE W.C.T.U. COMES INTO ITS OWN.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has expelled John Barleycorn from the Three cheers and a tiger for Secretary Daniels. And here’s hug-

ging all the women of the W.C.T.U., and saying, you did it by sticking to it ’ You see, stoc'fc in the W.C.T.U. is rising, now that they are beginning to reap the benefits of their long and faithful campaign. John Barleycorn is in disgrace, and his friends are melting like snowflakes before a July sun. Speaking of the liquor problem, did you read Rufus Ste He’s “Keeping John Barleycorn off the Trains,” in the Saturday “Kvening Post” of April 4th? If not, do. Big business ha*' taken up the W.C.T.U. campaign. Nowadays the lips that touch liquor go begging. The railroads won t have John Barleycorn’s cronies, and they support generously the railroad Y.M.C.A., that offers something better than booze. And Kord boycott’s Barleycorn’s fi iends. These are just straws that show the way the gentle breezes blow—the breezes started and tanned by the W.C.T.U., bless their hearts! Now let Secretary of War Garrison espouse the cause. Let President Wilson advocate a national prohibition law that shall become effective as soon a- two-thirds of the States have ratified it.
