...country smiles. From the land of France comes the glad tidings that President Wilson is in favor of repealing the "bone dry" war measure to permit the sale of beer and light wines. Perhaps the President has learned by experience in France that the practice of drinking, if not carried to excess, produces no harmful effect. Perhaps the "no beer, no work" slogan has reached the President and has indicated to him that the laboring class craves its slightly harmful satisfaction.

For just as Milwaukee is noted for its beer, and Detroit for its Ford, so, too, Boston is known on account of the bean. Any blow at its prestige is a slap at Boston. Indeed, Daniel was cast into the lions' den for not bowing before Darius' idol; if the commissioners had erred they might have suffered similarly and as a penalty for snubbing the sacred bean they would doubtless have been cast...
