Mr.. Weber>tlaimed that there were
not sufficient facts disclosed to justify
the suspicion of insanity. DR.. Coffey
attended Samuels when injured by
fall but the physician at that time
had no suspicion of mental unsound-
ness and gave him no examination as
to insanity. His opinion was based
on the assertion of Joe that 'he want

friends can generally tell whether
there are any peculiarities or hallu-
citations existing in person; they

Rudolph Strohmaier, a schoolmate
Of Samuels and who visited at Sam
lels' home. said he saw no difference
in Joe's conduct after the accident;
he talked about his children but not
about his wife; Samuels' going to
Kansas City with strange woman
was not the act of an insane man.
You can detect insanity in actions and
talk, but those elements are not pres

Sympathetic Witnesses
Mr. Weber believed the Witnesses
for The defense were brought into the
courtroom more through sympathy
than for what they knew as to the
actual mental condition of the accused
It was only during the last three
weeks that Samuels said anything

George Yeager said Samuels took
his meals at the West Keokuk fire
station but that was not evidence Of
insanity; because Samuels rose in

METHOD|STS TAKE A
STRONG STAND FOR
TEMPERANCE LAWS
VIGOROUSLY OPPOSE THE RE-
PEAL OF PROHIBITION
STATUTES.
EMAEC THEIR ENFORCEMENT
District Conference Elected John p.
Graham, of cuIleoka One OF Dele
gates to Annual Meeting at Column
bia Next October.

At the district conference Of the
Methodists for the Columbia district
held at Aspen Hill a strong stand was
taken against the liquor trafic and
an earnest appeal was made for the
enforcement Of the laws. The COM
mittee submitted one Of the most Wig
orous reports ever made on the sub
ject, committing the church not only
to the war against the liquor trafflc
but it also urges "the election Of exec
utive officers who are openly and
avowedly hostile to the liquor inter-
ests."
The report follows:
1--WE, your committe on temperance,
beg to sumbit the following:
"The Methodist church 10 the nat
ural enemy of the saloon, as 1t is Of
every institution that retards the
progress and development of the
Kingdom of God on earth. The liq-
uor traffic should not be tolerated by
Christian people. Its evils are uni
versally recognized and this church
can make no compromise Of It. The
contest should and must continue I'M
til the whole nefarious business is
banished from the United States
This conference unqualifiedly en-
dorses and commends the legislation
now on the statute books of Tennes-
see which outlaws the liquor traffic in
the State, and it Is opposed to any
repeal in those laws, but on the con-
trary urges the election Of officials
who are in sympathy with their OBJ
ject and purpose, and who will purge
the State Of bootleggers. No official
is deserving of the support Of Chris
tan people who enters into an I'M
alliance with lawbreakers, and
we therefore urge the necessity for
the election Of executive officers who
are openly and awowedly hostile to
the liquor interests. +
Law enforcement is the demand
of the hour. Every law should be en-
forced until it is repealed. Failure
to enforce the law will surely invite
anarchy and ultimately destroy gov
The laws to suppress the
liquor traffic, being designed for the
protection Of the home, for the better
nent of society and for the glory of
God, ought especially engage the at
.ention of every law-abiding citizen.
The statement that these laws cannot
1e enforced is confession that Dem
ocratic government is failure, and
,ne to which the Methodist church
will never subscribe.
The Anti-Saloon League and the
Noman's Christian Temperance
Union are noble organizations for the
of civic righteousness, and
heir efforts to enforce the laws
against recognized vices are heartily ,
your committee, further, takes ,
,reat pleasure in calling the attention ]

raffic. He threw his influence as a

has left with the lower court, how.
ever, the right to reopen the contempt
proceedings. This grant of power
will not be accepted, and the case
practically ended with today's decis.
ion.
The basis of the courts opinion was
that the proceedings brought against
the labor officers was for civil con.
tempt, which could be punished only
by the imposition of a fine. The sen.
tence of the lower court to impris.
onment was the penalty for criminal
contempt and in the premises there
fore, it was not legal punishment.

Further, we note with pleasure
that our great church in its whole his

Methodist church Is right in its dec
laration that the liquor traffic can
never be licensed without sin.
I'VE urge upon our preachers that
they preach to the people on this
subject.
