" Be Good Sports,"

iT)E a good sport," appeals Dr.' jTj Wilbur F. Crafts, suprrintrnrfent of th; International Iiefortn Bureau, of Va.-h;n,;ton, D- C, to those who c-ppotc prohibition. "You bave been defeated in a fair and square conteft. Accept ths results lik'e a true sportsman. "The test of the real port?man is the way in which he accept defeat," says ir. Crafts. "That popular sportsman, Sir Thomas I.;pton, said when he i came to this ci.untry in arotner gallant ! ettort to lift America's cup, 'If I win, I J shall be glad. If I am defeated. I'll take my helving with a smile. Sir 1 hoir.aj is the most famous fportsman j in ths world, not because lie has won : victMrie. but because he accepts defeat after defeat so graciously never with I a prc.jch. J "The true sportsman accepts defeat i in recreation, in business and in politics, in gulf and baseball and in the, ; greet game of democracy whether it ! be the election of a president or in the j settlement of the prohibition i-sue. The frrratest Olympic in the world is the election of an American president Even when Hayes was elected by one vote by the electoral cillee and 'doubt was expressed about the validity of the ' election, the defeated party accepted the result. "And xvken prchil-itinn it decreed b &5 states -nth a population of one hundred viiHion. with otiy three states disscttting, tvhose population is but f.ve million, any man c zcomjn xi'io dors r.ot accept the result whole-heartedly is neither a good sportsman nor a good fitizrn. "In the preliminary local and state contests for a hundred years the drys were often defeated hut they always accepted their defeat like good sportJmaii." Dr. Crafts delights to tell cf the liquor dealer he discovered who wa a real sportsman. This man's first nam was Auirust and he was always known by that name. When the National War Prohibition act was passed closi has proved himself very worthy of tho patronage given him by the Twin City publii-. .
