The Davis License Case.

| Unable citizens, who are interested
| in temperance movements, have tes-

before in the history of this court
has the court been called on be-
tween terms to revoke license on
account of the licensee improperly
executing his license. Men don't
turn rascals over night, yet this Ii
cense has been repeatedly granted
without protest from any citizens. If
the court convicts Mr.. Davis it must
be on technical acts
Mr.. Davis has had an annual GER
tificate from this court for the past
ten years, and this attack is unwar-
ranted.
If Mr.. Davis sold as set forth in
the petition it was easy to prove it,
but they did not do it; the testimony
is bought and paid for. The Repp
Bros. are the prosecutors in this
case yet these men have not gone on
the stand to enable the defendant
to cross examine them as to the
statements in the affidavit.
A man cannot be held guilty of a
crime who does not know it; you can
not hold him guilty of keeping a
disorderly house unless you show
that he kept those persons there for
greed. There is no evidence in this
case that Davis kept a disor@rly
house, the testimony of men of
Glassboro-men of property, men of
integrity, is that this house is we'll
kept and is respectable house.

are claimed to be men of confirmed

In sections where prohibition or
local option prevails, law is more
strict. Your Honor is to construe
the act for the first time in this
State, and if you are going to make

cannot convict Mr.. Davis of violation
of the law.

Want to be strong?

Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat it for
Breakfast every day. This advice is
coming from all sides as result of re-
cent experiments on foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en-
durance. 1t has been proved that eaters
of Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance to
those who rely upon the usual diet of
heavy, greasy foods.
When all is said and done on the
cereal food question, the fact remain,
that for economy and for results in
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
first of all. 1t is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in
packages.
Put up in two sizes, the regular pack
age and the large family size which is
more convenient for those who do not
live in town.

national trade publication was his.
When he mentioned his scheme to the
defendants they agreed to exploit it.
An agreement was reached and Dun's
International Review, printed in four
languages, sprang into existence.
Things went along smoothly until
March of last year, when Ewell says
the defendants repudiated the agree
ment and took from him the manage
ment of the publication. Furthermore,
he says, they refused to give him an
accounting or access to the books.
Francis L. Minton has submitted to
the court an answer to the complaint
In which he denied that the original
idea for the trade journal was EwelPs,
or that they agreed to exploit the
scheme for him. He also denied that
any effort was made to hamper the
general manager in his work.
