Forest of Stone In Australia,

In Albany, in Australia, is to be seen
a stone forest-in other words, petrified
trees. The trees are of a gray stone.
1t is suggested Is an explanation of
the strange phenomenon that in the
depths of past ages the forest was in
full vegetation and then through some
upheaval Of the earth it was buried in
sand. Little by little water acting or
the sand penetrated the branches and

The wood gradually disappeared IN

its form. Then in succeeding years
the winds again carried away the sand
and the forest appeared anew, but OF

Dear Sister: L saw in the June num-
Der of the Union Worker this, 'the liq-
uor traffic should be outlawed." Now L
write this giving my argument that the
liquor traffic never was inlawed, be-
cause no law gives any business the
legaliZed right to make criminals out of
said business. The law makers of Ne
braska can not legaliZe a business that
makes fifty per cen of its constituency
criminals as the liquor business does.
Many times | have asked the legal tai
ent to show me a law that will legalize
the action of our Legislators when they
grant a license to a business that is
making criminals all the time, and L
have no response from them, their
silence about this is a proof to me that
there is no such a law granting such a
right to our legislation. Our law max
ers know they have no such a right
given them, if they cannot show a law
them said right, that is the key
to this liquor criminal making business
it is a lawless outlaw, because a GRIMM
al-making business cannot be lawful.
And all our judges know it too, right
we'll, and they to me are responsible for
this criminal making business
as it does today, as it runs in Ne
brdska oil any other state, or in any
part of the United States. Keep it be-
fore the people that the courts have no
right to GUST me out CT a Grimm
Al making business, and let my neigh
run his liquor, criminal-making
at any price. To me the courts
nave no law to show such partiality.
Keep it before the people that all men
Know that drunkenness is a crime. and
I'll men that promote it in any way are
committing a criminal act, if not so why
lot, though they may be ignorant of it.
Keep it before the people that no body
# men have the lawful right to license
