ness is attacked when that same '
fellow who is so concerned about '
personal liberty of the bar keeper
is in favor of sending men to jail '
and to the chain gang for exer*
ci.-ing their right to get drunk.
Take the shackles oil*ot the drunkard
and put them on the drink.
Turn the bolts on your prison
doors and let tlio drunaard out and
put that which makes him drunk

liquor and let men go free and
quit locking up drunkards and advocating
