MR. STACY AUMONIER'S OPINION.
* COUNTRY NO ONE VISITS FOR PLEASURE."
[BY STACY AUMONIER.)
Mr. Stacy Anmonier is always amusing to read. He is not to be taken seriously, but there may be a spice of truth in his following plaints, Like most Englishmen Prohibition makes him "ace Red."
The other day someone sent me a book from America. Amongst the paper in which it was wrapped I came across a portion of a fort night old copy of the Chicago Daily Tribune.
THE BIG DRY DRUM.
MR. BORAH'S NOTE OF ALARM.
U.S. ELECTION ISSUES.
NEW YORK. Indignation like a pent-up fre burst from Senator Borah "when he spoke by means of wireles to thousands of his countrywomen. Scoring of Republican and Demo- cratic leaders alike, ha declared that the constitutional Government of the country was is peril, and called on American women" to pré- vent these leaders from carrying out their intention to betray the United States at the. forthcoming conven
tions.
"It looks," he said, "as if we are going to have a bitter campaign in which no man will be spared and no woman will be spared who comes within the firing line." He went
Now the Chicago Daily Tribune claims to be and I believe justly -one of the greatest newspapers in the world. Being interested in such things I thought I would look: to see whether there was anything of note in it And there was, There was the leading article, and it was headed; "In Prohibition the Law Against Murder is "Re- pealed". This seemed promising, and so I began to read
"Three coastguardamen necus- ed of murder have been acquitted in U.S. district court in Florida They shot and killed & man in a boat they were chasing. After they had killed the man and taken the boat they did not find liquor ar weapons on board. "In the usual procedure of protecting prohibition enforce ment agents, the United States gave the killers the protection of the Federal Court. An assistant attorney-general was sent from Washington to acquit the mea. A special jury was picked from the back countries of the district, the coast-wise counties being ex- "cluded. Thas expedient was used to keep off the jury any citizens who might have prejudice against murder in the name of
enforcement.
Д
With the scene thus arranged the Government brought the agents off successfully.
Shot Without Challenge. Please note that this is not some sensation-seeking little provincial rag speaking. It is the Chicago Daily Tribune.
It will not be proposed to trade oil for contributions, but it will be proposed that we trade pri ciples for votes, which is infinitely worse. As Americans we are made the butt of ridicule and criticism in every capital in the world. As citizens we entertain doubts as to our political outlook never entertained before. Aa party men and women we are chagrined and resentful.
Senator Borah added thas it was
planned to drop quietly Prohibition enforcement from political discus ion and to concentrate on the pre- ection of home markets. This he eriticised as an effort to persuade the votes that tariff schedules were more important than upholding the Constitution.
The fact of the matter is that from the beginning Europe has treated America very badly. Since the Plymouth Brethren no civilis ing influence has entered that country with the idea of stopping there and doing good. And that splendid old Puritan stock, mostly Anglo-Saxon and Dutch, has been swamped by the progeny of niggers, dagos, and the sweepings of Eastern Europe.
Get On And Get Out! - The United States is now, I sup. The editorial goes
on to depose, the only country in the world monstrate that the only surviving witness from the boat, affirmed that it was not challenged, and the first intimation they had of the chase was when Jones, the victim, cried out that he was shot. The judge overrode this evidence and "the carefully-selected jury" beld with the Government that the victim had forfeited his life when for what-

that no one visite for pleasure. After it had enjoyed a century or so of material prosperity, Europe recognised that here was the largest and most gullible public to be found anywhere. And Europe pro ceeded to explois it, and has been exploiting it ever since.
Even the emigrants, who pour in by thousands, have no idea of set notting there. Their idea is to make as much money as quickly as they can and go back home and retire, And that is the keynote of all the visitors to that country.
"The victim has as much right to his life as any person in the United States, who has not for. feited it by crime,”
