PROHIBITION
ByJ. S. Knauss

Prohibition was started several
centuries ago in ii what as then
known as the Garden Of Eden. We do
not prtend to know the exact loca-
ton OF this garden. but from the
data we have been able to- gather
lit Is obvious that 1t was somewhere
in the present state Of North Dakota
Ia.
The Lord told Adam he might eat
al the melons in the. patch except
one, and that one being superior to.
all the rest should be- reserved for.
seed. Now it appears from the
of our ancestors, several
degrees removed, that the. Lord was
the chief engineer, in the. manufac-.
ture of Adams disposition, and 80, it
is logical to suppose that when the
Lord told Adam to leave the melon
alone. he knew perfectly well that
ut would be the first one that Adam
would plug. We would also observe
that at about this time the Lord
took an inventory Of all He had made
and placed on the market, and pro-
nouneed it VERY good 8, and we pre-
sumo that this included Adams dis
position. OF course, the Lord. being
the political boss In that ward did
not wish to shoulder any RESPONSE
bility for, any seeming errors that
might occur, and so He provided Eve
for Adam to lay the blame to, and
caused Eye to see snakes SO that she
could say that 1t was not her fault,
and 1t being impossible to trace the
matter further the boss was held
blameless NJ ...-
Morals and politics have not
changed to any great extent since
that time, when the Lord showed
Adam how to do It. We have merely
followed the rule laid down at the
beginning s,g. ,s;ti,, I
The politicians still explain how

Appellant purchased quit

held that the title So obtained by
appellant is Inadequate as foundation

prise. 1t has been felt that the Neither
lands government wanted to p)ow its
own burrows and had asked the other
powers only to adhere to a policy OF
hands Off" 1t was believed that Hol
land had adopted this attitude because
her grievances against Venezuela
were more intimately concerned with
the national honor and were not so
pureIv commercial as those of her
neighbors. The reasons for the ap'
parent change in the program are I'M
known at present.
The Dutch newspapers are begin
ming to protest against the secrecy
with which the government enfolds
the entire Venezuelan situation and
ask for details of the report made by
M. De Reus, the former minister to
Venezuela, and the correspondence
that has passed between the govern
bent and the members of President
Castro's cabinet. The papers demand
that the government shall not embark
on any proceedings involving heavy
expense without the peoples approval.
The Netherlands government APP
parently is quite satisfied with the
explanations made by M. De Reus, its
former minister to the republic of
Venezuela relative to the letter crit
icising President Castro and his gov.
eminent which is alleged to have been
the reason for the minister's expul.
sion from Venezuela. Furthermore,
The Netherlands has no intention of
disavowing NJ. De Reus or apologizing
for his action.

FEARFUL LOSS
Ten to Fifteen People Drowned at
Augusta, Georgia, as Result
of High Waters.
Fire Adds to the Destruction, and II
Is Believed the Loss viii Reach
Million pollars.--Waters
Slowly Receding.

Augusta, Ga.-Flood waters at Au.
gusta. which have caused such a
heavy loss of life and property, began
receding Thursday afternoon. They
reached the height of forty feet, prob.
ably as high as the flood of 1888.
Rain has ceased in the upper val.
ley, and there is no danger of further
losses. The loss approximates ST..
100000, and consists of damage to
stocks OF goods and private property,
destruction of the wagon and railroad
bridges across the Savannah river and
breaks in the canal banks. There are
dependent on the canal for power,
eight large and small cotton mills.
While the flood was at it's height
five fires broke out. The Mcdaniel
builders material establishment,
North Augustus, burned. A train OF
forty cars belonging to the Southern
railway. burned in Hamburg, Just
across the river. Nixon's lime, ce
ment and hardware house and huge
quantity of lumber belonging to the
Georgia railway at the Georgia rail
way yards, were burned. The Augusta
Railway and Electric company cannot
run their cars for three days.
No power plant is in operation; the
telephone lines are not doing bust.
ness; the railroads are accepting no
passengers.
The water service is crippled, but
intact. The gas company is impaired
but not shut down.
There have been ten to fifteen
drowning, mostly negro laborers.
