' 1 ,l" 11,11 m.* COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS ('By Spectator) J The governor and legislature are entirely right In submitting to the vo tern the question of legal liquor In this state. To some the sale of alcoholic beverages Is merely a matter of regulation and revenue, but to others it Is a policy which profanes the religion professed by our people. To some the whole matter Is one of policy; to legalise and collect tribute frotp ft taste and habit which are old and deep seated; to others there Is a principle Involved which should not be compromised for either policy or ! expediency. The argument Is that since men ' drink the statu should collect a tux on what no one regards as a neces- < ally. Some regard the alcoholic taste ' and habit as a luxuury; therefore something to be taxed heavily; olhers I regard It as a Btep toward trouble and tax It as a police measure; yet J. others regard tho hublt as had In It- ! self; therefore not one which the ! sta*e should recognize or dignify as a source of public revenue. We have, then, policy arrayed against principle. The men who stand for principle have logic on their j side, for no one would contend that all the practices of humanity should be given the.sanction of law, rogard-; loss of the revenue. Would you recognize murder and theft and license suoh practices, collecting a revnuo from them? Y?t murder and theft are fairly common. Must we confess questions of right j with calculations of revenue? Is a thing right or is it wrong? If wrong, does It become less wrong, less pernicious, because it yields a revenue? Aro wo by any chance bribing our- . selves because as beneficiaries of public service we are enjoying the fruits of the vices? , If humanity needs any one bhlng It Is to break away from the narrow ' selfishness which fattens on greed and misfortune. The wisdom of men , has boon terribly dofiated; we stand I before the Great Judge a lot of bun-, glers because we choose the spoclous / arguments of the streets to the eter- j nal wisdom which sees right and wrong as clearly defined, never glossed over by money, position, influence f or public revenue. Since we have had liquor revenues ( what have we gained as a people? Mr. Roosevelt gave us legal liquor i and the five or ten million dollars I which our state has received. But | our expenditures have increased more than the amount received from liquor, and the National Government has had to spend in this State $134,000,000 ?] a hundred and thirty-four million dol- : lars, to keep our heads above water. | I^et us boll this down; In the little; town where I live we used to have ' one State liquor shop. In all the county there was' only one. During all those years, the little town had two policemen, though the town then I had four banks, several stables and a J thriving business. Now the little ! town has one bank (a year old) no I stables, much less business, three ' liquor stores (with others In the county) and four, policemen! In other words, with the New Deal came liquor; and with liquor came more policemen than we had ever had before in the history of the town! Now will some one tell me what benefit the liquor has been, or Is. to tho town, even on the ground of revenue? | I have come to understand with deep- ' enlng conviction the remark "Yo can-j not serve God and mammon." "And ho shall judge among many , people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords Into plowshares. and their j spears Into prunlng-hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Ixml of hosts hath spoken It." So said the Prophet Mtonh. It remains the hope of all who see the futility of war, save as a defense against tho embattled forces of greed and ambition which would oppress and destroy for their own enrichment. - U ? The Judiciary -Committee of the House reported out the Mil to restrict punitive damages. The bill Is now on the calendar of tho House. The prediction has been freely made that no such -bill can pass. JPhat remains to be seen. I believe it ra? be passed; it is only necessary to bring home to a hundred and twenty-flve thousand car-owners that they are paying nine dollars a year more for liability insurance than is being paid by car-owners of Georgia. Every policy for liability insurance is much higher here than in other states. The Casualty Companies are not concerned apparently. Why should they be? They have fixed their rates so as to protect themselves. So. even if the sound bush ness interest of the atate'ls not sufficient reason for restricting a practice which is inherently unsound and harmful to the state, then the self interest of a hundred and twenty-five thousand car-owners may pro^ve the political dynamite necessary to dislodge tho opposition. In whose Interest is the punitive damage practice as we have it? In the interest of about a hundred lawyers who are specially successful in getting big verdicts for damages bei yond the actual damage sustained. The principle of the Workman's j Compensation Act is as applicable to I all of us as it is to workers in indus1 try. Workers accept the principle of j compensation, based on injuries, instead Of unreasonable verdicts to split with Counsel. Exactly the same business reason applies to the rest of us as applies to labor. Perhaps the question may be put like this. "Shall ten per cent of the lawyers Jeopardize the state and imperil its industrial life; or shall the hundred and twenty-five thousand car-owners muke their influence felt?" IJoiled down, it is a question whether about one hundred damage suit specialists, can .continue to make 125,000 men pay ?1,500.000 a year in excess Insurance. Whenever this matter comes up take note of how the members vote. The automobile men certainly should be vigilant. m, .mi -..t. -w. - .. li -. - . ...

Way "Build-up" Helps Will Interest Women The cause of a woman's periodic suffering from headache, irritability, cramp-like pain, may b? functional dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition, a condition that is often helped by CARDUI. ! Principal way CARDUI helps is by stimulating appetite and the flow of gastric juices. Thus it may aid digestion; help build up a woman's strength, energy and nerve-force; so increase physical resistance to periodic discomfort. It also helps reduce periodic distress for many who take it a few days before and during "the time.* Tour confidence In CARDUI is in- _ vited by its 60 years of popularity,. ; UNCLE NATCHEL Says: , ?
