Vets and Drys Enlivened by
Interpretations of District
Judges Promulgated Sat
urday.
INDIRECTLY PASS ON
A SALIENT FEATURE
Both Judges Express Grave
Doubt That Mere Posses
sion Constitutes Violation
of Statewide Prohibition
Law.

Attorneys and leaders of the wet and
dry forces in Boise were much inter
ested in the decision rendered yester-
day by Judges Mccarthy and Davis of
the district court ON the first liquor
cases To be tested in that tribunal.
In passing on Il demurrer that dis
posed of the informations adversely
both judges held that any informal
ton charging transportation of liquor
as an offeuse against the prohibition
law must state that the liquor was fer
beverage purposes.
1t is pointed out by several attorneys
that it follows that successful prose-
cution is not possible unless it shall
be clearly proved that the liquor was
for beverage purposes, hence the dc
tcision in effect disposed of the trans
portation feature so far as that court
is concern q eXceptins in those cases
where the prosecution carried to the
court and jury convincingly the burden
of proof rs TO beverage purposes.
AS TO POSSESSION.
While tho question of possession
was not directly passed on. both
Judges stated that they entertained
gray uoupl tldL mere po99Ss'Hi'll Coll =
sttuted violation of the statewide pro-
hibition law.
The eases may he renewed under
amended informatious, but whether or
not that shall be done, similar cases,
IT is expected, viii he presented, and
he district courts ruling on trans
portation and the ruling that it fore
rasted on possession will no doubt be
taken to the supreme court.

INDIAN YOUTHS SET

RECORDS IN FACTORY
Carlisle Students Obtaining Vocational m
struction az Manufacturing Plants.
Out of the score of nations represented in
an automobile factory in Detroit it remained
for an Indian, Joseph Gilman, a Chippewa,
whose home is in Minnesota and who is at
present enrolled at the Carlisle Indian
School, to set the worlds record for as
semb]ing a car Of that make. He had the
machine ready for the road in two hours
and fifty minutes after beginning work.
The previous record was three hours.
This is the first of the results of new
system of vocational training introduced by
the officials of the Carlisle Indian School,
who plan to place students in the leading
industries of every means of training the
original Americans to become better citizens.
Twenty-Five boys are now in the Detroit
automobile plant, one with another motor
car factory in the same city on trial, and
four others are with one of the leading man
ufacturers of electrical appliances in New
York.
While separated from the school life the
boys are still under the training directions
of the school here, and remain so until they
receive diplomas.
A year ago six boys, several of them lead
ing athletes at Carlisle, were sent to the
Detroit automobile works. So rapid was
their advance, because of their effective
training at the school, that others were sent

EVILS OF PEYOTE.

The peyote plant resembles a radish in
size and shape, only the top appearing above
the surface of the ground. A lovely white
blossom springs from the center, which later
disappears and leaves only tuft of white
down. This top, or button, is the part of the
plant utilized by the Indians north of Mex
leo, where it is cut in slices and dried for
eating during certain ceremonies.
The ritualistic use of this drug by the In
dams was first described by James Mooney
of the Bureau of American EthnOlOgy at
Washington. Mooney had observed the use
of the herb among the Kiowa and collected
large quantity for medical experimentation.
The tests made indicated that it has valuable
medicinal properties, which lends support to
the Indian theory that it is panacea for
all ills There can be little doubt, however,
that the drug is demoralizing and pernicious.
The testimony of various Indians and whites
who have used it goes to show that it induces
Authorizations and other reactions compar-
able to those of hasheesh or opium and it's
effect upon the heart is also bad Unques
tionably, it's exploitation should be stopped
by an active campaign. Personally, be-
lieve that well-informed men sent to the
various tribes to speak against it's use and
to appeal directly to the devotees would
soon cause many to cease the practice AL
ready it is used, to my personal knowledge,
by the Pawnee, Wichita, Caddo, Comanche,
Kiowa, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Sank and Fox,
Shawnee, Potawatomi, Iroquois, Usage,
Kaw, Ponca, Iowa, Otto, Missouri, Winnie
bago, and Others and it's use is still spread
ing. Rather an appalling list -Alanson
Skinner in the Southern Workman.
The News is Informed that Dan. Taylor
has introduced Peyote and prevailed upon
some of the Red Lakers to use it.
There is law against the Introduction
of Peyote into the Indian country, and
some one will get into trouble if they don't

later. The Indians keep their own with the
best of the white boys in the school of in
struction and are said to have had potent
influence on the entire plant through their
willingness to work, ready compliance with
disciplinary measures and general character
principles inculcated at the local school

broad object the furtherance of ev-

that will be made at the convention
is the fact that the Federation has

the war is having and Will continue
to have on religion. The executive
commission Of the Alliance Of the
Reformed Churches Throughout the
World reports:
Instead of showing the failure OF
Christianity, this war has revealed
the strength Of Christianity, Tor
Christianity has been the only bond
that has not snapped because of this
war. Out of the present conditions
in Europe three facts are emerging
that bear on the religious situation.
The first is that religion over there
has become largely philanthropy.
The people have passed from faith to
works. All the countries are full of
charitable efforts to relieve poverty
and suffering.
1.-THE second popularity is evangel-
ization. The 100000 men of the
different armies afford a grand op-
portunity for the spread of the gos-
pen. The 100000 prisoners in
Germany, most of whom are Rus
slams, open a great field for the
evangelization Of Russia In the
camps, in the hospitals, in the prison
camps, is an open door of hope, ire
mendous and mighty that will affect
every church in Europe.
"The third feature is personalities
that is piety more than ever has be-
come a personal thing. The war is
making Europe learn that religion is
a personal matter rather than for
NAL one. The lines between demon.
nations are largely broken down in
armies and camps. Faith is being
purified, sham and unreality are
burning out Men are thinking
straight and centering themselves OF
Jesus Christ. These characteristics
are not going to PASS entirely away

Dear Mr.. E. 2. Jones; ! nave
tboupbt of a lovely way to help you
with your advertising.
You know there are some people
vbo do not have Maxwell cars ana
.o,e who have other kinds. 1t must
h. vou see, that these people do not
understand about your cars, and you
ought to have some way to make
them realize how 1t is.
So why don't you advertise that
a Maxwell car is like Chero-Cola?
Think of the things you could say,
First, there's none so good" And
lots of things we can think up our
selves, like, "Once tried, always
used. !" Cheap but cherished. In
dispensable for pleasure trips and
picnics. I" makes the way shorter. :"
"Helps you entertain your friends" y
"often initiated, never equalled."
You see the idea, don't you?
Chero-Cola has given a new and
deeper significance to these advertis-
ing remarks, SO anybody that can
advertise his product as being like
Chero-Cola is sure to have every
body's friendliest and closest atten-
ton.
I picked you out to tell of this
idea because I've been riding in cars
you've sold ever since l came to
Lakeland, and / think l owe you
something.
Very truly yours,
