RUSSIA RECOGNIZES
SUBJECTS IN KHAKI

London, Oct. 1.-THE ugly rumor
that England was about to send all
Russian subjects. liable back home for
military duty proves untrue. but In
stead a new White Paper says:
Russian subjects OF military age
in this country are permitted by the
Russian government to serve in the
British army; a period of service in
the British army by a Russian sub
ject is equivalent In Russian law to
corresponding period of service in
the Russian army. Russian subjects
who have reached. or hereafter reach,
the age Of eighteen and who are I'M
der the age of forty-one. are, there
fore, invited to Join the British army
This invitation extends to all Russian
subjects in the United Kingdom. In

naturalized in British Colony and

The number of complaints has been
increased since Governor Frank b.

boards that disorderly places are to be

LIQUOR ISSUE UP
FOR OHIO vOTORS
Wet and Dry Question Is To Be De-
cided In This Campaign Even
Though Politicians Deny 1t.

Columbus. Ohio, Oct 1.-THE wet
and dry question is an issue in the
Ohio campaign this year even though
politicians and some of the candidates
may deny 1t. At the November cleo
ton a new Legislature will be chosen
as we'll as a congressional delegation
and a United States senator.
In the two great political parties In
Ohio at this time there are two can
didates for Governor two for United
States Senator. forty-sour candidates
for Congress, sixty-nine candidates for
States Senator and ESQ candidates for
representative, n total OF 345 candi-
dates for positions as State or national
law makers.
II the present Congress In this win
ter's session fails to submit nation
wide prohibition, the Congress elect
ed in November will be urged to do
so. If the present Congress does sub
nit the next Congress will have
other important matters before 1t hav-
ing to do with the liquor question.
This question Is always an issue in
the election of State Legislature.
Should Congress this winter submit
national prohibition to the States, the
Legislature elected in November will
be called on to ratify the amendment
IT Is imperative that a majority OF the
Senators and Representatives are men
who will vote for such ratification.
Whether this question comes before
the new Legislature or not, q number
Of measures bearing on the wet and
dry question will come before that
body. II the Legislature u wet It
will enact further legislation In the
interest Of the brewers. II 1t IL dry.

In some senatorial districts there are
more than one candidate, and In some
OF the more populous counties there
are more than ons candidate for Rep

All candidates for these offices have
been nominated. The voter has until

If you do not know the position Of
your candidate for Congress, State

Judge Gray. Now Ninety-two Years of
Ago, Was Unable To Prove 10 Jury
That Beer Was intoxicating.
Kansas City. Mo-. Oct 14.-Judge
Barzillai Gray, who, as territorial at
torney for Wyandotte District, was tho
first man In Kansas to prosecute IL
quor cases, celebrated his ninety sec
ond birthda~ anniversary on his farm,
one mile north OF the Kansas side,
at work among the plants and shrub
berry.
Judge Gray says his health il so
good this winter he will remain at
home. For five years he has been go
ing alone to California. He attributes
his good health to careful living and
abstaining from the use Of intoxicating
liquors.
I'm our first liquor case" Judge
Gray said. "the citizens were aroused
to a high pitch of excitement. We
were prosecuting the owners of a
small brewery on the levee. We main
tanned the brewerys product was in
toxicating.
THE jury was skeptical about beer
being intoxicating. and the attorney
for the brewery produced an exper:
witness. who swore the beer contained
only per cent alcohol, and therefore
could make no one drunk. The jury
was convinced and on the first ballot
decided for the defendants"
Judge Gray came to the Kansas
side In 1857. Later he lived a few
years in Leavenworth. where he serv-
ed as Judge Of the Criminal Court.

CATHOLIC PRIESTS
URGE PROHIBITION
Giving All tho Time They Can Spare
From Parish Duties Toward
Helping Make State Dry.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 14.-Some
Of the strongest arguments in favor
OF prohibition made this year have
come from Catholic priests and bish-
ops. Here In California Rev. Father
NJ. j. Wythe, of Sunnyvale, is giving
all the time he can spare from the
duties of his parish to presenting the
prohibition cause. In Montana Bishop
]. P Carroll and Bishop Matthias c.
Lehman are furnishing arguments for
prohibition, which are being used not
In Montana alone. but throughout the
nation.
by taking the pledge" writes
Bishop Carroll. the individual pro-
hbits the use of intoxicating liquors
to himself; by passing a prohibition
law the community bars the use of
intoxicating drinks to itself,
The community has as much right
to take the pledge as the individual.
The minority who do not agree with
the law do not suffer from II, be-
cause intoxicating drink Is merely a
luxury which does not promote their
wealth. their health or their happi-
ness.
Medical science has monstrated
that alcohol taken internally Is neither
food nor medicine: daily expert
ence shows that IT is the most pro-
The pleasure the moderate drinker
derives from it's use can Justly be
subordinated to the general happiness
and well-being of the community.
The Catholic Church is in favor of
every good measure which aims at the
elimination of the evils OF intemper-
ance. Whatever. therefore, the peo-
pie in their wisdom declare prohibi-
ton to be the most practical method
of dealing with such evils, prohibition
cannot but have her blessing upon
il.
Many Of the States have recently
thrown off the yoke OF the liquor
power because 1t pressed too heavily
on the dearest interests, social, moral
and political. 1t Is sometimes assert
ed that prohibition must be national
to be thoroughly effective Prohibit :
tionists admit there Is truth in the
statement. but hold that the most

From Beer To Clay.
The oldest boy, he OF the intensive
education In brewing. was approached
by small group Of men who had in
vested $4,000 in a little plant to do
something with some clay they had
found about five miles from Coore'
brewery. They needed a chemist and
might need moore capital Adolph.
Jr., joined them right away.
The clay was kaolin. richest of all
In alumina. There was also plenty OF
spar adjacent. People around there
had been making friedrich and SINH
lar rough products that sell in their
manufactured form for a few dollars
a ton.
Young Coors and his father de-
cided that porcelain was the stuff

youngest brother, Herman, Joined.
and they stuck at 1t early and late,
and they got it--high-gr grade chemical
porcelain that could meet the Ger
man product IN the open market on
its merits.
In the meantime Grover. the Sec
, ond son, turned his attention to the
brewery. Just because brewery
couldn't make beer was no reason
why It should loaf, was his conten-
tom He began making necessary
| alterations working nights in the
laboratory to be ready with his for
muIas when the plant was ready
And when the brewery had been re-
formed to his liking he set in to turn
out matted milk. He pointed out that
,, the market for matted milk was ex-
actly the size of the earth. II was
simply a question of making the
milk and getting the market, and he
set sail for both.
There are now signs that the brew
cry, having learned It's new trade. is
going to make more money than IT
ever did, and the porcelain business
Is getting twenty-five times as much
for one-tenth of the quantity of kaol'n
as the old brick business did. The dlf-
ference in the price is represented by
brains and imagination, coupled with
money and hard work.

young German named Adolph Coors.
He came to this country in the early
'T0s AND went out West and built his
home. He had learned the brewing
trade in Germany, and after some
years of hard work he was able to
set up tiny brewery of his own in
Golden. Colorado.
AS Colorado and the Western coun-
try grew, Coor's beer and Coors'
brewery grew along with II.
But just about the time that the
elder Coors was planning to turn the
business over TO his boys and settle
down to spend the rest OF hts life
In ease and quiet. a specter began to
haunt the brewery business. It's name
was prohibition. The people of Colo

made his brewery about as much use

And one of his boys. after gradu-

fathers beer. That was all wasted,
