criticism of the civil service, which
Is that II protects the job not worth
having with iron figidity and scrupu
lous exaction, and leaves the bars down
for all the positions that have some
thing IN them. Many have thought
that was the direct purpose Of the
founder Of the idea, but the structure
is hardly fair. Politics had much 90

Inspired In the first place by a very

service has pcrpctrated some remarka.
BILE developments, and that it asks some
fearful and wonderful things. In the

1.-THE danger in this kind of a
law" said Mr.. Barnard, "is that some
of the manufacturers will ship in real
beer under the guise of near-beer and
1t will be sold in violation of the law.
But this cannot be regulated except
by the diligence of local officers, just
as any other liquor law violations are
regulated. A beverage that contains
no more than one half Of one per-
cent Of alcohol is not intoxicating and
there is no reason why it should not
be sold anywhere. The proportion Of
alcohol Is so small that 1t could not
cause person to acquire a taste for
it. Such a law as this would clear up
lot of confusion in regard to the le-
gal definition of intoxicating liquor.
Under the present law one judge calls
beverage intoxicating and another
says it is not, and this makes it diff
cult to enforce the law as it should be
enforced"
Just what position the Anti-Saloon
league will take on the Wells bill has
not been announced.

Louisa Werner during a wake last

John Werner. father of the dead
girl, says he does not know either of
the prisoners. but that when they
came to his house last night and asked
to see the body he consented. 1t was
testified that Smith asked permission
to examine the right hand of the dead
girl, and held it for some time.
After he let it drop according to the
Werners, the Dougherty woman was
discovered trying to remove sthe rings
from the same hand.

pertaining to the sale of intoxicating
liquors. Wells said in the first place
that the bill was intended to keep out
of dry territory everything that might
be classed as intoxicating liquor. He
said:
Would be Good Law. =
Intoxicating liquor should not be
allowed to be sold in dry territory I'M
der any form whatever. This bill will
keep it out. In some of the dry town.
ships the manufacturers ship in liquor
that is little short of real beer. though
it is labeled something else. Why.
I saw in a dry township In Hunting
ton county one day young man SO
drunk he could not stand up, and he
got drunk ON this dry beer. That's
what I wish to STOP"
But while Wells would be stopping
the sale of such beverages he would
also make 1t possible for nearly all
OF the brands of dry beer to be sold
in the dry territory. The reason is
this: The bill fixes the line between
intoxicating and Notwithstanding bev-
erages. It classes as intoxicating all
those that contain in excess of one
half Of one percent Of alcohol. All
those that contain less than that are
left in the Notwithstanding class. I'm
der the liquor laws anything that is
classed as mountaineering may be
sold in dry territory the same as soda
water.
What Barnard Says.
Mr.. Barnard says he has analysed
about all the brands of near-beer or
dry.beer that is made or sold in Indi-
ana. Some of them, he said. contain
much more than one-half of one per.
cent of alcohol. but most of them do
