California and the JdpS

In California, 334 Japanese farmers are provoking
the soil into growing things for the common good.
These Japs beat the world in intensive farming.
They sober, tremendously industrious, and have
the science of raising much crop from wee bit Of
land reduced to science.
They battle every day and eat fresh vegetables,
and fruits instead Of beefsteak at &c pound.
The American farmers are beaten at their
game and call upon the legislature to help them out
by eliminating the Japs from the farming industry.
1t is suggested that these 334 Jap farmers
bark in the saloon business. Let them embark in the
business Of sl<innng the poor of their wages, the
business of getting people drunk and sending them
home to beat their wives and pound their children.
Let these Jap farmers embark in the business OF
filling the stomachs of the city poor with forty-rod
lightning instead of cabbage and potatoes. Let them
embark in the business of debauching California citi
zenshp, in the business of breaking up California
homes sending California boys to prison and the girls
to hell.
The California legislature won't kick on this pro-
vided the Japs deliver portion of the profits in
the form of license money.
If the little Japs will engage in the business Of
raising Hades instead of potatoes all of these inter
national complications will have been abated.

DR.. HelfS Mess of Pottd6e

Dr.. Helt'S Mess of Potta9e
In 1870 Rev. DR.. W. c. Helt, superintendent of the
Evansville district of the Indiana Anti Saloon League
became dissatisfied with himself and with his salary His
meager income from AntiSa1oon League work was not
as much as he thought he ought to have.
In this dilemma offer of 500 per year came to
him from mysterious to organize Rational Re
form League under which he was to oppose Pro-
hibition in the interest of high license the exact pro-
gram Of the liquor interests.
For time he made something of stir and fur
rushed ammunition for the liquor men to use and which
they using to this day their fight against Prohibition
But after the adjournment of the Indiana legislature
OF 1911 the mysterious source of money supply gave out
and Helt left stranded dcredited and disgraced
The Presbytery of his church nearly two years ago
summoned him to answer charges against him but he
refused to answer appear. He was thereupon s,s-
pended.
At the recent meeting of his Presbytery in April Mr.
Het was again summoned It is said that his appear
ance before the Presbytery pitfu but he had no
defense He thereupon dismissed from the min
istry. He is Eek" and under the cloud of con-
domination of his own church.
The husks which DR.. Helt is eating are peculiarly
bitter. 1t is matter of common sorrow when a
clergyman eats his words, eats the vows which
he made to his Maker eats the solemn pledges which
he made at his ordination eats up his sef-respect and
his whole usefulness among his felowmen in order to
get little dirty money like Benedict Arnold and
Iscariot. .@s..

full of gall.
