Pickett said in part:
"When the nation dosed the sa-

500,(<00,000. The present drink bill in
Creat Britain, with about 40,000,000
people, is 1.470,000,000 or approxi-
mately $'.\2r,0,000.000, whicn, we un-

cording to Charles Lenon, of the
American Federation of Labor, the
working men of the United states
contributed 70 per ce,nt of the drink
bill in pre-prohibition days. Wo '
would it mean to lower the stands n
of Jiving of our people, particularly
of our working classes, to the tunc
of $*>,000,000,000 at one time?
It Was Beer
' The American's saloon was a. heer
aloon, not a whisk) saloon. All of
its institutional evils including its
brothel accompaniment, its gambling
balls and side entrances lor women
introduced by the brewery-owned so
loon, wou'd thrive just as well as if
not a drop ot whisky were sold. You
cannot open 200,000 saloons in this
country and keep them from sellin:;
whisky. The saloon never obeyed auy
law passed lor its regulation except
the law compelling it to pay a tax,
md the evasions of that were notor-
ious.
"We would have a new evil in
widespread drinking by women,'' Dr.
Pickett declared. "The American wo-
men was kept out of the American
saloon. The American man consider-
ed her too good for the debauching
Influence of beer. Very few 'respect-
able* women dra.nk at all in America
in the old days. But 'he old standards
of conduct for women are passing
away under the influence of the new
feminism, and we have not yet had
time for the establishment of new
st«",u.lard;. jln thjis transition time,
ihe influence of the saloon and the
trade, urged by an economic motive
and pushed by every method of trade
promotion, would be perilous to
American womanhood.*'

Beyond contradiction, Lincoln occupies first
place in every consideration of quality in
automobile construction. It is easier riding,
smoother running, sturdier under hard
service, more readily handled, more flexible
under control than any other car, regardless
of price or claims.
These outstanding elements of superiority
are the result of greatest mechanical accu-
racy ever realized in motor car construction.
