Seized at
Browns

Saturday morningthe eagle eyes
of the city cops twisted and became
moon shaped as they squinted to-
wards the soft drink establishment
of L. A. (better known as Gus)
Browns. They had "smeft rat
for sometime but on this beautiful
October morn they came to the con-
clusion that they could cat the rat
out of the hole and into their paws
safe and sound. Sure enough they
found something that "smelt' like a
mixture of benzine, corn cobs and
cheap cologne, with a sprinkling of
lye and damnation drops and more
commonly known as mean likker"
among the ardent advocates of bug
juice Git has the right name after
alp and forthwith seized the liquid
varmint. The city does not allow
bar rooms but some of the prereqni-
sites of such an establishment were
seized, to wit: Two gallons jugs of
liquor, two pint bottles of ditto and
80 bottles of beer-and two small
glasses-the short" variety for
misery drops come too high for
longs" these days. The glasses
smelled awful strong of the breath
of the devils fluid and the cops al
most became intoxicated or suffocat-
ed as they "smelt and smelt" to
make sure it was likker. Many
empty beer bottles were also found.
It was big laid for High Point, in
fact the biggest in many a day.
Brown was placed under $500. 90
bond for his appearance at court
Monday W h n the case was
postponed until Friday at the request
of the defendants lawyer. In the
meantime the people are awaiting
the verdict.

There will be a pathetic parade to-

the Grand Army.

There will be pathetic parade to-
day in Washington of the remnant of
the Grand Army.
Perhaps it will be the last of the
street demonstrations with which the
country has been familiar for more
than a generation, for the men are
old and most of them can march nc
more, but for many year to come
there will be reunions of these ven
cradle Americans, and, as was the
case with the revolutionary ancestors
of some of them, the survivors will
tc IGNORED to the end.
If as a result of existing compli-
cations at home and abroad any of
our people are inclined to question
the nationality of the United States
or to be unduly disturbed by vexa-
tious foreign influences, let them
consider what this Grand Army was
and what it did.
Made up of soldiers of every race,
nation and creed, but all American in
faith and spirit, it defended and
preserved the Union. 1t settled for
ever the bubbles, the jealousies, the
doubts, the conspiracies, the trea-
sons of those who hoped to prevail
against a divided people. 1t re-estab-
lished a nation to the end that "gov-
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people shall not perish
from the EARTH"
We also have Fatherland.-New
York World.

THE DAY OF MIRACLES is PAST.

The advance copies of, Senator
Weeks address at the republican
banquet contained passage in which
he warned his hearers that the Fed
eral Reserve System could not be
given credit fer the stability brought
on by the advent Of war last year,
for the reason that it was not then
in operation.
The senator is wholly right; of
course it was not; the Federal Re-
serve System did not begin to be eff
fective until it began to operate. We
are wholly unable to believe that any
democrat of standing ever said that
it did-or dreamed of saying that it
did.
Why, then, should Senator Weeks
think it worth his while to utter so
empty and foolish a truism? Be
cause it is one of the pet beliefs of
rep 1blicanism that the Wilson tariff
act of August, 1894, was responsible
for the panic of June, 1898. The ST..
Louis republican organ has declared
this repeatedly; Gov. Hadley, in re-
cent letter to The Republic, reiterat-
ed it. Now in view of the fact that
republicans loudly assert that this
particular tariff law operated might
lily before it was born, Senator Weeks
is but wise in serving notice on demo-
Gratis that the day CT miracles is now
past; that it ended somewhere be-
tween 1898 and 1914; that laws do
not now operate until they exist; and
that any attempt on the part of
democrats to invoke the magic of the
republican medicine men for their
own partisan purposes will be resist
ed to the last trench.
The prenatal activity of federal
statute is not part CT the ordinary
operations of political history; it is
a special providence, to be invoked
only for the benefit OF the republic
can party. 1t worked nightly in
the case of the Wilson tariff in 1894
and the panic CT the year before; but
it would be sacrilege to invoke it in
favor of the Federal Reserve act.
Where democratic fortunes are con-
cerned, nature remains pitiless;
things refuse to act before they exist,
and the procession of cause and eff
feet moves ruthlessly on it's prede-
termined way.-St. Louis Republic.

NO ILL FEELING,' SAYS CHAMP
CLARK, SEES VICTORY IN 1916.

"You may say for me, and make 1t
as strong as you like, that l cherish
no i'll feeling toward anyone, and
that with malice toward none and
charity toward those who have sim
ned against me, l am standing with
my shoulder to the wheel for demo-
cratic success in every part of the ma
tion," said Champ Clark, speaker OF
the house, orator par excellence and
idol of the Missouri democracy at the
big democratic meeting of Missouri
democrats at st. Joe last Thursday.
The speaker was standing in the
corridors OF the Hotel RabidOux last
night when approached by the in
terviewer, and with that urbane smile
which has become famous, he COM
mented briefly-very much so-upon
conditions which confront the nation
and his party in particular.
Il believe" said Speaker Clark,
that the reelection of President
Wilson is so far assured that any
comment by me or any one else on
that question is superfluOus and rath-
err tiresome.
1.-The people everywhere are strong
for the administration. There can be
no doubt of it. We have done great
things and when l say we, under
stand me that l am including my
self only as very small part of the
administration at Washington, mere
ly as a humble member of congress.
They tell you, do they, that the
Missouri democracy is divided and
that failure stares us in the face.
Well, let me tell you something;
when the votes are counted next year
the democrats of Missouri, as we'll as
of the nation, will be in power strong
err than ever before. The disgust with
republican misrule of years past has
not ended by any means. The peo-
pie realize that they are now expert
encing the greatest prosperity of all
times, and any talk to the contrary is
pure buncombe
"God bless Woodrow Wilson and
the level headedness which has kept
us out of the great world war. l
thank God that we had a democratic
president and l thank Him still more
tx cause we are going to keep one
there for some time to come.
Il have absolutely no comment to
make upon w. j. Bryan or his poll
cleS.'

that were popular with the people
that paid them And as for the Will
son war taxes, nobody is grumbling

the income tax hits, and they might
as we'll be getting used to it, for no

WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SAME FIX.

Have you noticed that every neu-
trail country in the world, except the
United States, has had to issue bonds
to tide them over the crisis in finan-
cial affairs caused by the war? Had
the administration and congress lis
tened to the republicans, who were
opposed to "a war tax in time of
peace" for political purposes, our
country would not have been the ex-
.cept Chieftaln.
