"7"""' ■ 1THE INDEPENDENT ) Published every Thursday by | THE INDEPENDENT-NEWS CO. | (XNCORPJHATKO) I November 2 ,1922. j CLOSE THE] PORTS TO BAKBOOMS. i Law-breaking has always been । looked upon by the brewers and dis- : tillers as their particular privilege ’| in this country. Bootlegging is not l| invention of prohibition days. It I is an old practice. 11 The liquor people have always | broken the law. i Now they have found that the I government itself has broken its own 11 law. That delights them. Always tireless in their efforts to | sustain their nefarious business, the liquor people herald the fact that ' they have the government itself in a 11 hopelessly illogical situation because 11 barrooms are being conducted and I booze sold on United States ships at I sea. They are right about this. The government has broken its own law. But the announcement of this fact < is not going to bring the booze busli ness back. * I On the other hand, the booze peoI pie are beginning to wish they hadn't I mentioned it. It promises to widen | the,dry territory rather than widen । the wet. । The American Shipping Board has attempted to justify its toleration of infringement of the Federal law on American ships al sea by declaring I that we cannot compete with European ships if we do not have barroom I accommodations while the fereijni । ships do. That blings the suggestion that i disturbs the liquor people. The United States shall not ad.ait to any of its ports any vessel under any (lag that is equipped with a barroom or that retails spirituous liquors or beers. ' • . —

Could that be done? There Is no* a nation in all the world today that j can afford to suspend com merer with 1 America. European and Asiatic coun- | tries alike are economically dependent upon commerce with America Already many European countries are observing the better banking and trade conditions and the lessening jail records in the United States since prohibition went i-nto effect. Foreign countries are seriously considering following in our footsteps. To force their ships to jo dry. as we can. will only emphasize the issue in foreign lands. It is by no means improbable that this will be the next telling step toward making the whole world dry. HAS LOYALTY VANISHED? When one looks carefully at the passing throng he U forced to ask ( the question, “Is loyalty a lost art?”

Have the people forgotten its mean-i ing? Or has it ceased to have power over the people? Loyalty in its truest and deepest ( meaning is free from every element of selfishness; loyalty means absolute devotion to principle, to party, 1 to person. ।1 Absolute devotion takes into ac- 1 count the sacrifice that has to be I made to be loyal. It may mean the los of everything, but loyalty never counts the cost too dear. • if this is a correct definition al’ loyalty then it is highly probable that it has been supplanted by the meanest kind of selfishness because men are sacrificing principle, party and person for their own selfish interest, or to till their own greed a purses. They seem to have but one God the God of Gold. They worship at his shrine; they bow before him morning, noon and night; they carry his image in their pockets; they burn incense to him; his image is stamped upon their features; they would sell this government; they would sacrifice their homes. Yea; they would give up their families to satisfy their own selfishness. What can you expect when loyalty in its truest, and most glorious aspect is surrendered and selfishness is enthroned? Many business men have ceased to fight for great business principles becnuse they are afraid it will cost theni something. Politicians have long since mortgaged their souls. They are taking anytiiing that will I buy votes. Nearly every election has on its bargain counters cheap politicians. Loyalty to the government, de votlon to fundamental principles are foreign subjects, alien ideas, and ancient history to modern politicians. I Oh, for a power that would bring | back to the throne of business statemanship. and to the religious altar unswerving, untainted and unadulterated loyalty.

I PUNCHETTES-I>vFT\ VOTE FOR ED. IMTHABERRIES For Congress

Ladies and Gent lumen: I take this opport-unity of ap<pealing to your intelligence and discretion in the matter of the selection of your candidate to represent you in Congress at. Washington for the next two years. May I say, first of all, that I am a conservative man, and a conservative man Is always thoughtful and intelligent—refusing to follow the foolish schemes j of the radicals. I need nor j prove this to you. you who were born is this land of the free and home of the brave, over w'hich old glory has waved so proudly and so majestically since the day Columbus first set foot upon its fertile soil. Jusl take a slant at my picture and see how my countenance reveals all of

these things t* you. lam of good American parentage, full bloodpd i stock, tuberculin tested. Notice the thoughtful, serious expression on my ’ face and the supporting hand. Could anything be plainer on the face of it. than that I’ll make you a good representative in Washington? The hair, parted in center field, as it were, is bu* another indication of my untiring and never-ending desire to be at all times properly balanced and impartial in my unfallible judgements and wise decisions. The eyes, closed to the dirty and evil politician who would seek to lead me astray, and the ears, pinned back aginst my head, lest they contaminate me and my party by hearing the loud evil cry of my opponents and their constituents, who seek to destroy our liberties and our democracy, these two. Ladies and Gentlemen, are features in my favor. My platform includes the following planks. Study it carefully that you ' may v»te wisely and intelligently. । 1. Exemption from all taxation, local, county, state and nation, all ! married men who have flapper wives and daughters to support, and who drive Ford Sedans. 2. 100% increase in taxation, all forms, for women who wear furs in the summer time, and who lavishly use paint all the time. 3. I stand for a cash bonus for all farmers and ex-soldiers, get it an> wav vou can. 4. I am against all forms of labor. Men and women of this grand republic. niyland and your land, whoee soil has been stained with the blood of many heroes and whose rivers have run red with the crimson blood of her noble sons and daughters—such a race, my friends, should be freed from the bondage of labor, and be permitted to enter tlfe ranks of such professions as preacfiers, school teachers, and editors, who fore\er ha'e ■ wVnyed the luxurv of ease and idleness. i 5. Ts elected, I pledge to introduce on the first day of Congress, a bill : impeachment again?* the citv officials, street oommissioners. etc., of । North I iborty, if streets of said town are not imnrovni and made pass-| ! abb* by July 4. 1525. . 3 1 Par bo it. from me. dear friends, to criticize or belittle inv opponent, or rg !
