Thomas Jefferson "Father of the Declaration of Independence"
'"THIS noble founder of the Demo-
cratic Party immortaliied himself
by writing our Declaration of Inde-
pendence—the document which Lud
the foundations of Free Government,
not only for our own beloved land,
but for all the world. His countrymen
twice clccted him President and will
always treasure his memory. Jeffer-
son was the most ardent advocate
of Universal Freedom of his time and
it was his wisdom and foresight which
brought about the Louisiana Purchase.
Every drop of his Virginia blood loved
Liberty, and because he wanted Am-
ericans to be assured of it for all time
he championed with all his might and
main the signing of the Constitution
of the United States. None of the
Fathers of the Republic were more
far-seeing than he and none knew
better than he that a mild brew of
barley-malt and hops is truly a tem-
penmce drink. Hcncc, in 1 he
wrote President Madison:"A Captain
Miller is about to settle in this country
and establish a brewery. 1 wish to
see this beverage become common.''
Jefferson lived past his 83rd year and
all his life he was a moderate user of
light wines and barley brews. It is
unimaginable that were he alive to-
day he would vote otherwise than
NO to proposed tyrannous prohibi-
tion laws. For 58 years A.iheuser-
Busch have been brewing the kind of
honest barley and hop brews which
Jefferson hoped in his day to 6ce
the National beverage of Americans.
Exactly such a beer is BIJDWEISER.
Its quality, purity, mildness a id exquis-
ite flavor have won its
way to the top. To-day
7500 people are daily
required to meet the
public demand. Its sales
exceed any other beer
by millions of bottles.

URGES INTEREST IN "SAFETY
FIRTS" RULE.
Mr. W. I). Thompson, local
of ilit* M. K. A- T. Ry. t'o., ha it re-
ceived a communication from W. A-
Webb, flr*t vice-preaident of the sys-
tem, emphasizing the value of the
' Safety First" movement. The letter
iulmonishe* the ett.jtloyen of the mad
to assiit in educating the public to he
careful while on or iu the vicinity of
railro id :
The letter follow*:
The MiKKourl, Kaunas A: Texas it a
safe road to ride upon. During a
leilodof twenty-five years, no p ■
►enters were killed in train accidents.
!!• 1 tro prssenders have lieen killed
in such aocidents din ing the history
of the road. It is •« very unsafe road
to walk upon. During the past four
years alone, 22f> trespassers have been
killed.
"l'lease make it your husinesa to
a-ipiaint your friends and neighbors,
school teaehrrs, editors and minlnter*
with the following facts:
"Five thousand trespassers ai-ekill*
•*d on railroads in the I nited States
each year. a minority are hoboes.
Many are respected citizens. A good-
ly numl>er are school children. Using
track as a 'short cut' home or to
work often proves a 'short cut to the
if rave. Were these five thousand kill-
ed in one accident the public would
rise as one man to stop it. O.'cur n
as they do, one by ; i?e, the public is
lamentably indifferent. What is need-
is an anti-trespassing law in every
state.
"More lives would lie saved by the
enforcement of *uuh laws than by pro-
viding steel curs, installing block
signals and altolUhintr grade cross
ings, which if required at one time,
wonld bankrupt every railway in
America. Acti-ttvssing law> w ill cost
nothing and if enforced will a (Tore
immediate relief. Leaving the other
remedies to be provided us the need-
of the communities and the tinuncial
abiility of tlie interested parties may
determine. One life is is precious as
another. Why throw all the saf •
guards around the passenger and
none around the trespasser"? The wi y
to protect the passenger is to trans
port him safely; the trespassor, ti
keep hfm from becoming one. Warn
therefore, all who walk on railw : y
tracks that they are in great danger.
"To arouse the public to a realisa-
tion of the truth in regard to railw a>
trespassing, you are urged to begin n
campaign of education in your circle
of influence. Agents will please post
t iis bulletin in a conspicuous place in
waiting rooms aud urge upon all that
they read and heed."
