store in Bristol, was sentenced at II
O'Clock last Friday forenoon by
Judge w. w. Miles to serve not les
than IL or more than Is years at
hard labor in the state prison at

him Bisbee remained silent After
Judge Miles had announced the pen

the lawyers for the fair treatment
he had received, and said that no
one had lied for or against him in

counsel will take an appeal. Thirteen

of drinking wood alcohol bought
from Bisbee supposing the liquid to
be whiskey, and several others who
recovered were in aserious condition

THAT BILLIoN-DoLLAR LOAN.

There is commission represent
ing part of the European countries
now at war; in this country for the
purpose Of raising loan of billion
dollars, if possible. According to the
newspapers this money, if raised, is
to be spent here for foodstuffs, am
munition, ETC., for these nations.
1 believe this loan should be OPP
posed, and before giving my reasons,
lest be misunderstood 1 want to
say that l am not actuated by any
motive other than the welfare of the
U. S. A.
A billion dollars worth of ammu-
milton and war supplies, other than
food, sent out of this country would
not do us any harm financially, but
it hurts those who have human feel
ings other than dollars and cents.
But how about such quantity of
food? Would it not be tough on our
industrial workers? The farmer
would be pleased as he is dependent

than living wages.
Food is a commodity which can
not be increased in short time like
most other things, and when extra
demands are made on an available
supply, it is bound to increase the
price. 1t is true according to gov
eminent statistics), that we have a
bumper crop this year, but do not
believe the American people would
founder we're they to consume it all.
| know lots of people some of it
wouldn't hurt.
Bankers who will make this loan,
should it be made, will not be using
their money, but their depositors'.
Those who have money in these
banks will be loaning money to a
competitor in the food market with
the result of prices being raised.
Let your banker hear from you, If
you are fortunate enough to have
one, and stop this game. He will
profit not you.-Frank Guynn, 1919

CONCERNING J. S. K.-ReEgious
bigotry is the most hateful and dead
ening thing in our national life. A
free intelligent discussion of facts,
carried on without malice and digni-
fed by mutual courtesy, is, on the
other hand, a means of liberal edu-.
cation.
1 wonder if J.. S. K. has ever read
the Letters to His Holiness, Pope
Plus X."? The author was former
Catholic clergyman, and I know per-
sonally that his attitude is honest and
sincere. No one could be more gem
tie.
L wonder if ]. S. K. knows how Plus
x. treated Canon Chevalier when the
canon exploded the myth of the
House of Loretto?
wonder If ]. s.. K. has any mowl-
edge of the Modernist movement in
the church, and what happened to
