Ogdon appears to be shaping her sa-loon sa-loon business so as to get as near as possible to prohibition without actually Hj Retting it. Why should real prohibitionists help H in a fight in which even if they win H! there is no possibility of their getting Bi what they fought for? Mr. Carnegie predicts the disappear- anee of inultiinillionaircs; but he shows no practical signs of dying poor as he declared it his inrention to do.
