The "Continentd1 System"

In his argument against constitutional Prohibi-
ton delivered before the senate judiciary committee
Simon Wolf, German-Je w lawyer eulogized the con-
tinental system and practices to drinking alcohol
He said:
Some of the great evils of this properly speak
ng the barroom constituted and the treating system
which has become unfortunately national hib If the
continental system could be adopted in this country of hav
ing where and and children may congre-
gate read the papers and magazine discuss meas
of interest and drink their glass of light wine
it would be reform the right direction be productive
of the best results individually and nationally.
Mr. Wolf makes very good spiel about this mat
ter. He has the goods" to show.
This blessed country of Germany drinks about
twice as much beer per capita do the people of
the United States.

The HdndicdpS of Prosperity

When the tide of any reform becomes strong the
mountebank always puts in his appearance.
That has always been the case and always will be
unless the millennium makes very radical changes in
human nature.
Symptoms are rife that the temperance reform is
in for troubles of this sort
Inquiries coming in constantly from various
quarters asking about the responsibility and about the
connections of this that who has gone out in
pursuit of the fend seeking opportunities to make
a speech and collect money for the "Ant-Saloon
Cause" or for some Campaign that is being waged
somewhere.
The difficulty comes about in that these
ate the impression that they connected with the
Anti-Saloon League in way. They talk about
the Issue and the "Anti-Saloon Cause" and when
they have created the idea that they connected
with the League, they take up collection for
Statewide campaign" and put the money in their
pockets.
Pastors and churches, especially the victims
of these people.
Speakers, collectors, lecturers and everybody in
the employ of the League always ready and glad
to identify themselves and unless the applicant and
his connections absolutely known, he should be
required to satisfactorily identity himself be shown
the door.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

Germany consumes nearly five times much
wine per capita do the people of the United States
And on top of all that Germany consumes two
and one-haf times as much whisky per capita as does
the United States.
Is it any wonder that when the liquor business in
America is attacked that lawyers up pleading
for the continuance of the life of the saloon and every
last man of them begins lauding the drinking customs
of Germany?

An Essay on Rats

write-up in recent number of the Technical
World estimates that there five rats in the United
States to every person In other words there $780,
100000 rats in the land or thereabouts
The rats all eat and what they eat is less than
what they destroy. On basis of weight, allowing
two pounds to the rat and hundred pounds to the
average person, the rats weigh one-tenth much
the people, and without any allowance for waste by
their maintenance costs us tenth as much as
food
The statement that is made about may
be made about saloonkeepers. They all eat they pro-
duce nothing and they destroy more than they eat.
Just industry has to support the rats, the
saloonkeeper lives off the thrift of others.
The rats carry disease around and SO do the
1oonkeepers. That is what rats and sa1oonkeepers
are for.
The rats gnaw holes in the bottom of the gran
neres and let the wheat. The saloonkeepers gnaw
holes in the bottom of character and let out all that is
of value
Rats and saloonkeepers must go.

MERCHANT
HELD FOR FORGERY
John F. Godfrey is Accused of
Issuing Counterfeit Trading
StampS-ASSertS That the
Whole Thing is a Joke.
Special to The News-Times.

Special to The NeWS-I1meS,
ELKHART, Jan. 24.-Elkhart was
agog Friday when the report Of the
findings of the circuit court grand
jury were made public, showing that
of 10 indictments returned eight were
against John +. Godfrey, Local coal
and lumber dealer. OF the eight
counts against Godfrey five were for
forgery and three for pretenSe.
Godfrey is reputed as being a strong
member of a local church and an
ardent worker among anti-saloon men.
He was arraigned late Friday night
and was liberated under $4,000 bond
The indictments against Godfrey
are said to be the result of counter
felt trading stamp exchange which he
is alleged to have conducted. Accord
ing to information said to have ema-
mated from the grand jury room God
FREY it was alleged went TO Chicago
several weeks ago where he obtained
plate which il is alleged was used
to print trading stamps similar to
those issued by the Elkhart Retail
Merchants association.
Suddenly the retail merchants were
flooded with trading stamps calling
for premiums. The merchants were
amazed at the flood of stamps that
poured in and could not account for
them. They all appeared perfect.
Then an investigation was begun, and
experts discovered that hundreds of
the stamps were not genuine, but an
almost perfect reproduction. A quiet
probe was conducted and the investi-
gators were led to Chicago where
man was found who confessed to fur
nishing Godfrey with a plate to make
trading stamps. The evidence was
given to the grand jury and the indict-
mentS resulted.
Following his arrest and subse-
quent release on bond. Godfrey was
prone to treat the matter lightly and
asserted il was all a joke. How he
circulated the stamps among Elk
hartans has not been learned.
The remaining IL of the 10 indict-
mentS were secret.

myriad coiored mss which flashed
kaleidoscopically in the circle IF light
and split into a thousand separate fig
ures, giving TO the whole a most de-
cided futurist note. This effect was
carried out on all sides. Nearly
every one who counted had donned
green or pink hair. Many of the tan
go coufleS wore d costume of check
cred jenkins and trousers, a purple
belt and shock heads of the same tint.
Another twin disguise was bright YER
million coats and trousers trimmed
with fur anklets, vermilion hair from
the front of which rose a tall violet
plume.
One dancer wore a wonderful dress
of black velvet encrusted with winged
white apples and surmounted with a
black frill reaching above her head.
Upon her head was a little black vel
vet cap that gave the dancer the APP
pearance of a headsman of the Court
