POKER IN GERMANY.

HERR HERMANN. editor OF an
IL Oldenburg newspaper, has beer
sent to prison for a year for charging
that Franz Ruhsratt il, minister of
public worship, education and justice
OF Oldenburg, was unfit to hold his
place because he is gambler.
Ruhsratt was indignant over the
charge 1t was shown at the trial
that he played poker. that good old
American game, but he insisted that
poker is not a game of chance but Of
skill. The court sustained the conten-
ton, from which We are LED to believe
self
At the trial somebody testified that
in America poker is played by gentle
men of high standing who are not
excluded from holding public positions
on that account. We must confess that
the witnesses on this point told the
truth. The senatorial poker game in
Washington is an established institu-
ton. And there are others besides
senators in public life who play it
In Washington. too, we understand
that poker is a highly developed game
of skill.
The most skillful poker player in the
country, though. cannot win at the
game unless he gets the winning cards.
Experience teaches men when to bet
and when not to get. how to draw cards
and how not to draw them. All the
skill in the world, if the player is hon
est. viii not suffice to fill a bobtaH
flush or add a king Or ten to pair of
kings and a pair OF tens. At least
we have been informed that this is
the case, for of course we know nothing
whatever about the subject from ex-
peTienCe.
So. the experts agree. poker is a
combination OF chance and skill.
Therefore the German editor was part
~ right and partly wrong. But he was
wholly right in his statement that there
is no place on a board OF education
and public worship for a notorious
poker player. We should not care to
have such an example before the boys
and girls of our own country.

UTAH COUNTY MOVES.

HTAH COUNTY is going right out
~ after the experimental farm au-
thorized by the last legislature, and
unless the other counties interested be-
stir themselves they will find that our
neighburs on the south have won the
prize The Utah county commissioners
have already authorized the purchase,
for $4,000. of sixty acres of land neces-
eary for the farm. and an active cam
paigu is under way. That is the sort
of spirit The Herald likes to see. \
thing that is worth having is worth
working for. and if Utah county loses
the farm it will not be for lack of
effort.
Under the law only four counties can
be considered as farm sites They are
Salt Lake. Weber. Davis and Utah
The Utah county committee has pre-
pared some powerful arguments
against the other counties. These ar
gumeuts must he met by counter state
ments- The only interest The Herald
has in the matter is in seeing the best
county win. The experiment farm Will
he of distinct advantage to any com
munity i'm which it is located. The
farmers of that vicinity will have be-
fore them a daily object lesson in the
raising Of products suited to this eli
mate.
The legislature appropriated 81, OO9
Tor the establishment Of the farm, but
it cannot go to any county that is
not willing To spend at least $1,000 in
the purchase of d site. This J1ah
county has done. The other counties
should fall into line for the prize Will
be easily worth $1,000 to any of them.

BOOKS THAT KILLED

\ young German officer, who recent
Iy wrote a novel dealing with the scan
dals. of army life, was promptly de-
prived Of his commission by his Of
Tended kaiser, was afterwards impris-
oned in a fortress, and has now, on his
release, a score or so OF duels to fight,
in one or the other of which he is
pretty certain to lose his life.
In times gone by, however, it might
easily nave gone even harder with
him.
For instance, so lately as 1859, an
Austrian pamphleteer named Telki
was shot at Gratz for writing and pub
fishing a book rejecting on the good
faith of Count BuOl, the foreign minis
ter. The work was published at 3
o'clock in the morning. at 10 IL was or

Napoleon gave equally short shrift to
writer's who offended him, shooting
some and hanging others with scarce

most notorious of these judicial muir
ders was that perpetrated at the eX-

Usher. who was shot because he refused
to give up the name of the author of a
book attacking the usurper. Later the
Bourbons had troublesome authors
quietly removed" by hired assassins.
After this fashion died the gifted Paul
Courier. whose foul murder on April
10, 1925, reused to fury all lovers of
liberty.

unfriendly act in it's bearing against the Indians. Therefore, it is up to His- torian Montgomery to give Jones's full and faithful account of all these | '"Tea Parties" in both of his American histories, for all students and readers, | and to let the school children and all other persons decide which one was the Grand Tea Party" I think every reader the world over will readily con- cede the greatest praise to the Grand est Tea Party ever held. the one at wilmington, N. C., Annapolis ranking | second For these North Carolina par ticipants did not shirk any responsibil- tty, nor disguise themselves lat night" ! in the poor Indians dresS" But, like | the Marylanders, who were true to an- cestry and to their country and It's cause, these North Carolina patriots demeaned themselves with such com mendable and genuine courage in the broad day time that a grateful and proud people have most fittingly. dura- | bly and affectionately engraved their unrivaled fame and glorious names in l this connection upon by far the bright est page of tea party history in Amer ica.
 Truth, justice and fairness to every l section of our great country in histor- ical events Is the only proper and en- during way to bind 1t together in the strongest ties of patriotism and broth J erly love. To perpetuate palpabie err l TOT and wrong by oversight even is monumental outrage. Will Historian Montgomery gladly revise in this spirit l his partial and misleading history on the Tea Parties7' If not, will you, as l fair and faithful publishers, urge and require him to do so before you will again publish his biased productions with the whole truth not told? The o1l lNA pie will anxiously await his and your action in this matter of historical truth and justice. Southerners and all other patriotic Americans arc heartily | tired, sick and disgusted with false and sectional history. For instance, know of histories written by North. erners which absurdly deny that Thom- as Jefferson is the real author of the Declaration of Indepeiidence and of others absurdly claiming prestige and proWess for Abraham Lincoln over George Washington. both of whom, however, were Southern men by birth and blood.
 The biggest battle of the Revolution. as tn soldiers engaged on both sides, fought at Eutaw Springs, & C., and a great turning point for the Revolution ists, Is hardly mentioned in Northern histories. But the comparative skir- mishes at Bunker's Hill and Lexing- ton are constantly heralded and some- times magnifed beyond the truth. Is it because they were fought on Yankee soil? For the sake of all Americans. hope not.
 Let historians be true to facts and always truthful in historical writing and see to 1t that both young and old are taught along these patriotic lines for the common good and glory of our greatest of all countries.

ELEPHANTS DID rHr TRICK.
Saved UncIe sam's Mail Prom nKissin,


 New York, Sept 20.--But for the strength and courtesy of four huge elephants, a two-ton batch of mails stuck on the sixtieth Street station, would have missed the tratn at the Grand Central Station last night. The trouble began when a large mall wag- on. loaded to the top swung down Sixth Avenue and ventured a sharp turn at the corner where street repairs had left a strip of soft earth, turned to sticky mud by recent rains. A new driver. employed in place of a striker, was on the wagon and was accompanf- ed bv Va policeman. He urged the horses Into the trap and the wheels sank to their hubs. A crowd gathered and broke three ropes In theft efforts to help the horses
 Then the policeman had a happy thought. He sent a messenger to an amusement house near by and asked for the service of the performing ele- plants. Four were hurried to the scene in charge of their keepers. They were harnessed to the sides of the wagon and jerked 1t out of the mud with indescribable ease when the crowd cheered.
 Earlier in the evening q crowded Madison Avenue electric car crashed 'into large mail wagon at Fifteenth Street and Union Square, overturning the vehicle. The strike-breaking driv- CT and a policeman by whom he was accompanied were thrown into the street. Both were severelys injured. The motorman was arrested.

 Indianapolis. Ind. Sept. 2o.--Accord- ing to Attorney General Charles w. Miller, who now has charge of the le- gal matters pertaining to the alleged dedication of David E.

The State has the right to follow and collect all funds belonging to the State used by MT. Sherrick," said MT. Miller.
 The amount referred to as lost by gambling was the $i0,000 that Cover nor Hanley in his speech at Hamilton, Ind, said that Sherrick lost at French Lick in April, 1903. It is understood. however, that the governor has evi- dence that other sums have been lost | in the same way at different times dur ing the last two years.

If evidence can be ad- duced that some of the money mas gone this way every enort VIII pc made to recover it," said MT. Hawkins. He would not say whether this effort would be made by his company or the State, but it is understood that the State will take the matter up By to- morrow morning the shortage of Sher- rick will have been reduced to VEL S72.79, by the payment in the state treasury of the $19,s25 that is now on deposit in the Farmers and Merchants Bank at Cicero, Ind.

THERE'S A REAsONp That's Ali Right, But what Is It.

A lady teacher in South Dakota Gays
 q was compelled to give up teach
 ing for near four years because of what the physicians called nervous dyspepsia" Nor was I of any use in the household economy. l was in many
 respects a wreck.
 T had numerous physicians, one af- ter another. and took many different
 kinds of medicine, but they did me no good.
 Finally, five years ago. I began to
 use Grape-Nuts food. l grew stronger in a very short time on the new diet, and was soon able to resume and am
 still teaching. no longer use drugs
 of any kind, my dyspepsia has disap-
 peared and I am a hearty woman thanks to Grape Nuts" Name given
 by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.
 There's a reason. Brain work and
 worry take strength from the stomach and bowels. They become too weak to
 handle the fried meat. eggs. bacon, cor- fee and white bread. so, partly di- gested they decay and cause all sorts of trouble which will become chronic If continued Then the nerves and brain grow weary for they are deprived of the rebuilding clements the food must
 furnish to replace the soft gray fill- ing of nerve centres and brain which is partly used up each day.
 Now comes the mission of Grape
 Nuts to supply the Reason" Made in peculiar and scientific way of the se- lected parts of Wheat and Barley this | famous food contains natural phos- phate of potash with albumen which combines with water in the body and
 makes that gray matter quickly and
 surely. Then when nerves and brain feel the power of new made and prop erly made cells, the strength returns to stomach as we'll as other parts. | There's reason" Anyone can prove 1t.
