NO ONE KNOWS WHO
INVENTED WINE

In the Bible Genesis TX. 20-21 1t
is stated: "And Noah began to be
an husbandman, and he planted
vineyard and he drank of the wine,
and was drunken" This is generally
held to be an account of the discov-
cry of wine making, but If so we are
forced to go to the Babylonians for
the origin of this popular drink. Noah
was not a Hebrew, but is found un-
der another name, Pir-Napishtim, in
the famous Babylonian Nimrod-Epic,
the great poem describing the origin
of the world and the Deluge, as known
to the Babylonians. 1t Is now gem
orally known that the Deluge story,
including Noah, OF course, was bor-
rowed from the Babylonians by the
Hebrews, either when, Abraham emf
grated from "Ur of the Chaldees'
(Babylonia) or in later times, when
the Hebrews We're captive In Baby
lonia, after the destruction of Solo
mons Temple.
This being the case, the invention
| of wine is carried back to at least
six thousand years b. c.. even If it
was not known by other races before
that time. Grapes grew wild before
! they were cultivated, and savage
tribes, knowing nothing of agriculture
made wine from wild grapes, so as
soon as there were grapes and mer
probably wine was invented, for it Is
only the juice of the grapes ferment-
| ed.
Upon a clay tablet, inscribed with
the ancient cuneiform, or wedge
shaped characters, we have list ol
different kinds of wine used by the
Babylonians, and it speaks Of Shep'
herds wine, Syrian wine, sweet vine
carrob wine. The Assyrians did mo-
pour their wine into the cups from
jars or bottles, but dipped the cups
into the larger vessel, as may be seer
from some of the pictures.
The ancient Egyptians were ex
perts in wine-making for on the toni

bought the Cave of Machpelah from
the Hittites, and that was more than
four thousand years ago. Among
them even the women drank wine, as
may be seen fr, m picture in which
two women appear toasting each

1t is not probable that China or ia

the Land of the Hittites, even though
these warriars wear pigtails, and for
this reason are supposed to have or
iginated from Mongolian stock. In
fact, we have picture of the wine

Wilson and w. ], Bryan. They con-
jure up almost innumerable "perils"
that beset the pathway of the next
administration and their solicitude is
truly pathetic.
Such papers however, overlook
some very important elements in the
situation. Bryan followed a somewhat
different course last summer from the
course taken by Col Roosevelt. He
was not candidate for the nomina
ton himself. Instead of seeking to
advance his personal fortunes he threw
himself into the fight to advance the
principles in which he believed. He
sank his individuality in the cause and
triumphed through self sacrifice, just
as Roosevelt could have done but did
not do.
At the same time Bryan was doing
the greatest work of his career Wood
row Wilson was playing a role equally
worthy. He publicly announced his
opposition to the powerful forces that
were trying to control the convention
and did so for time. He would have
nothing to do with the Murphy Ryan
Belmont contingent and he continued
drastically Independent of that ele-
ment until the end. He too was ready
to sacrifice the nomination rather
than secure it through betrayal oi
the principles in which he believed
Unquestionably it was this attitude or
the part of Governor Wilson thai
brought Bryan to his aid. 1t was MOI
a personal matter at all.
The story of the convention reveals
Bryan and Wilson as men of larger
calibre than Roosevelt and Taft.
shows their friendship to be upon {
higher and broader plane. 1t is no
safe to draw conclusions for Bryan
and Wilson on the strength of wha
happened to Roosevelt and Taft.

policies in municipalities is not nearly
so strong as the opposition to state
socialism in the nation. The nature
of municipal government as con-
Germ dealing with the common busi-
ness of community has led many to
favor municipal ownership as the So
luton of all pubic utility problems
1t is now the rule with regard to some
utilities in nearly all cities.
1t is easy to conceive of conditions
in the old parties here and in our
city government which would drive
thousands of voters into the social
ist party or kindred organization
supporting a modified socialist plat
form.
! IF the old parties are to check the
socialistic growth they must be
straight. They must play fair with
the people. They must satisfy the
public demand for progressive re-
forms and improvements in munich
pal management. They must have
open minds and clean hands. They
must handle public property and pub
lie affairs with an eye single to the
public interest"
This is absolutely true and the fact
should be a powerful incentive to the
democrats to fulfill in good faith the
pledges made the people this fall. L
the democrats fail to bring relief the
failure will be reflected in great!
augmented strength for the progress
sive party or by an enormous increas'

THE JEW I'M FICTION.

a person introduced who is to reveal
secret or 10 spread Il scandal or 10

the writer will not say straight out
that he is Jew, but will entitle him
