Pros and Cons of
Prohibition

Contributions on this subject so
overrun our space that we give
herewith briefest extracts from
few OF them.
Omaha daily bee., 1916-08-26

High license is no solution for the
problem Of getting rid of the liquor
traffic. When we began regulating
the liquor business we were consum-
ing twelve and one-half gallons on an
average to each individual but now
we consume en- an average of TWEEN
ty-four gallons to the individual
After thirty-fve years of this kind
of progress we have very little EVIL
dence that the liquor business is be-
ing closed out under a high license
system. We propose to pass an
amendment to the state constitution
that will prohibit the manufacture
and sale Of intoxicating drink in Ne
braska. This is the only solution to
the problem. II. F. CARSON,

FORCETS DATE Of AGE
WHEN TRYING TO ENLIST
Young Man, Looking to Be About
Fifteen, Claims Fifty Years.
May Release Married Recruit.

For several minutes today it appeared
that the secret for which Ponce de
Leon searched in vain has been found
by young man who wanted to enlist
in the National Guard this morning
He looked to be fifteen, but claimed
fifty years of life to his credit as he
stepped up to Sergt. J. Max Cunning
ham at the recruiting station on Penn
syivania avenue, and declared his de-
sire to sign up with Uncle Sam. He
was without sign of those facial
edornments that characterize the re-
.ublican ticket, yet when Sergt. Gun
ningham asked him the year of his
birth he gave it as 1864.
For the love of huckleberries, man
wake up" exclaimed the sergeant
after the first shock of surprise had
worn away. Don't you know how ole
that will make you?'
After some consideration the would
be guardsman said that he 'reckoned
that the date of his birth really was
1866" But it was finally brought
down to 1895. although the young mar
said that he was not sure whether II
was that or 1894

WILLAMETTE BOYS
IMMERSED IN STUDIES
Classes Hot Rivals for Honors
Delve Deep Into Literature
and Art

Determined to avenge the indignities
heaped on their fellow classmates in the
recent dog-trotting barefoot parade of
six freshmen, the members of William
ette IS evergreen class formally declar-
ed war on tho university sophomores
last evening in n fashion that would
put the great world conflict now raging
on the eastern hemisphere to shame.
Under the direction of four juniors,
who engineered the battle, Il big armor-
ed truck was chartered, Amid mass
of cracked heads and bruised shins the
vehicle was loaded with miscellaneous
assortment of choice sophomores and
despatched to the four winds of Marion
and Polk counties. Here at. intervals
varying from four TO II miles the fresh
men released their rivals to roam back
to Salem whenever the distance seemed
appropriate TO the vigor of the captive g
participancy in class struggles.
Some sophomores were not captured,
however, and while the truck was gone,
these got busy and shaved the manly
domes of eight freshmen lads, who were
unable to accompany the ioyriding ex-
pedition. Their appearance in chapel
this morning was synonymous for
much mirth and gesting as the sopho-
more tonsoral artists had shaved after
fashion which strikingly resembed
wierd Chinese hieroglyphus.
As the outbreak was propogated by
Juniors, further complications and crack
cd skulls are looked for probably this
, evening.
