once great editorial genius, Colonel
Henry Watterson have degenerated,
have another illustration in his recent
editorial in the Louisville Courier

PUZZLE SOLVED
Coffee at Bottom of Trouble
We Ry TOUCHING

1t takes some people long time to
find out that coffee is hurting them.
But when once the fact is clear, most
people try to keep away from the thing
which is followed by ever increasing
detriment to the heart, stomach and
nerves.
Until two years ago I was heavy
coffee drinker,' writes an Ill. stockman,
and had been all my life. | am now Sc
years old
about three years ago began to
have nervous spells and could not sleep
nights, was bothered by indigestion,
bloating, and gas on stomach affected
my heart
81 spent lots of money doctoring-one
doctor told me I had chronic catarrh of
the stomach; another that | had heart
disease and was liable to die at any
time. They all dieted me until I was
nearly starved but seemed to get worse
instead of better.
Having heard of the good Postum
had done for nervous people, dis
carded coffee altogether and began to
use Postum regularly. soon got better
and now, after nearly two years, I can
truthfully say am sound and we'll.
II sleep we'll at night, do not have the
nervous spells and am not bothered with
indigestion or palpitation. I weigh 80
pounds more than when I began Pos
tum, and am better every way than |
ever was while drinking coffee. l can't
say too much in praise of Postum, as |
am sure it saved my life" There's a

A BEER SWASH-BUCKLER

The editorial writer of the BreaVer's
RevieaV, who assumes the illuminating
nom de plume, "The Growler," is more
than usually defiant of facts in his dis
cussion of the resentment which has
been aroused by the misquotation and
Misrepresentation of John Wesley by
the Anheuser-Busch Brewing associa-
ton. He says:

The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-11-05

If, after sixty years of trial the fail
ure is so evident as to permit of the
kind of campaign made in Maine this
fall, how long will it take to settle
the question along Prohibition lines
The only thing that has been settled
as to this law in Maine is, that it can
not be enforced, that it is used by
politicians for purposes of blackmail;
that instead of lawful traffic paying
revenue to the state, an illicit traffic
pays tribute to the political organiza-
tons, that the police are corrupt, the
courts are disgraced, perjury becomes
common, hypocrisy an almost univer-
sal characteristic of the people; deceit
and falsehood the weapons of a com
bination ostensibly formed in the in
terest of virtue and morality. A more
disgusting infan1v has never currupted
any state than that which has grown
tip with the prohibitory law in Maine
1t is not very clear what particular
relation the first sentence of the para
graph has to the remaining portion. The
law which relates to the sale
Of liquor deals with question that is
moral, just as the question of homicide
is moral or the question of stealing !;
and the experience of the world testifies
that the only way of dealing with these
questions is by prohibitory law Even
the editor of the Gazette would not
dream of staying over night in town
where the moral question of murder
was not the subject Of prohibitory law
AS regards the situation in Maine,
the Gasette's paragraph is misleading
and false from start to finish. 1t has
been clearly settled by abundant ex-
perience in the state of Maine that the
law can be enforced. It has
been enforced in a very large part of
the state, the greater part of the time,
for half century. 1t has been enforced
at times even in the worst cities of the
state 1t is clearly demonstrated that
the only thing that the law needs for
is the only thing that the
politicians will not allow it
to have-honest officials.
The Gasette's picture of the horrors
rising from the prohibitory law in
Maine might have been painted with
New York, under its high license law,

RIDICULOUS FALSEHOOD

The Wine s. Spirit Gasette, under the
management which has controlled it for
some months past, has developed pretty
nearly to perfection its ability to dis
tort and misrepresent facts, and to do
so with an air Of arrogant assurance
which is taken by the unsophisticated
for confidence. In recent editorial in

HEINZE DEMURS
TO INDICTMENT

NEW YORK, Feb. 11-(SpeciaD-
F. Augustus Heinze, erstwhile cop
per king, and former president of
the Mercantile National Bank, who
is under indictment charged with over
certifcation will appear in court
tomorrow to answer TO the charges
made against him. Judge ChatfeId
has ordered Mr.. Heinze to be present
at the hearing.
1t is alleged in the demurrer filed
by Heinzes attorneys that the indict-
ment is multifarious that the first
fifteen counts are insufficient in law
to constitute a crime By the defendant
and that there is a misjoinder of
different crimes in the same indict-
ment The certifcation of the checks
was not the act of the defendant but
of various employees of the Mercan-
tile National bank whose names the
Indictment enumerates, it is asserted
in the demurrer, and for that reason
the first fifteen counts covering This
charge are insufficient to constitute
the crime charged against Mr.. Heinze.

At ? o'clock in the morning, last

in the Italian quarter around First
avenue and 10th street A crowd Of
excited Italians quickly gathered.
There the police reserves found La
Rosa writhing on the pavement with
twenty buckshot in his abdomen.
Hard to Get Facts.
All the police could learn was that
a duel at close range between La
Rosa and some opponent, possibly
fellow black-mailer, had taken place,
in which the opponent had escaped
with injuries slight enough to enable
him TO get away undiscovered. La
Rosa was questioned by the police
while the ambulance from the Har-

scene. But neither he or any Of the
Italians in the crowd could be per-
suaded TO throw any light on the
