How About the Un0l

During the past few days the Of
ficials of the various counties have
been conducting more or less success
full raids against those who are sell
ing Uno beer illegally. According to
the new law this stuff must be labeled
or it cannot be sold and many there
are who have been obliged to pay
good dollars in order to learn the rud-
iments of this law. The dealers are
in a quandary, for if the beer is label
ed people won't drink it and IL it
isn't the authorities get hold of it.
Pity the poor dealer.
Not so long ago a large quantity of
unlabeled Uno was apprehended at the
local freight depot. The beverage
was seized, according to the report
and the man who purchased it had to
suffer what? Why the loss of the
Uno of course. What other penalty
could be inflicted on the man who
breaks the law? If a man commits
a theft the stolen goods are merely
taken from him and he is allowed his
freedom, perhaps.
In an informal interview with one
of the deputies the Reporter learned
that probably nothing would be done
in connection with the recent seizure.
The question was raised as to whether
or not the same punishment should
be melted out here as in other coun-
ties. "No, replied the deputy, l don't
think there is anyone in this town
who would sell Uno contrary to law
and l feel that nothing will be done
in this case" 1t has been author
itively stated that ignorance of the
law is no excuse and that what man
intends or does not intend to do has
no bearing on the disposition of
case. Now the question arises, as
is not possible that in this quiet COM
munity there might be a concern or
individual who would sell Uno beer
contrary to law" That prohibition
measure has been on the statutes of
our State for some time and since its
Inauguration local parties have been
known to dispense with real red
liquor, much against the teachings of
the law
If there are none who would know
ingly break the law then it is we'll to
overlook this matter of a few days
ago, concerning the liquor seizure
Law is law and the man who breaks
it should be dealt with in our humble
opinion.

president of the Greek Provisional Gov
ernment)
Salonica.-The change that has
taken place in the Russian govern
ment has been hailed by the new
Greece with sincere joy. because the
abolition of despotism and the triumph
OF democratic principles in Russia
proves in the most conclusive manner
that the struggle now going on in the
world is essentially Il contest between
democracy and autocracy.
The entrance into the war of the
great American republic Is the most
emphatic confirmation possible of the
nature of the world conflict. The
struggle of the Greek liberal forces
against King Constantines clique has
never been fight between people fa-
voring war and those who favor peace,
but it is struggle of democracy
against autrocracy. No party wished
for a prolonged period of peace more
than the Liberals, especially after the
exhaustion resulting from the two re-
cent Balkan wars.
Sympathies With the Entente.
Because of the democratic seuti-
ments of the country, however, as well
as on account of the bonds of graft
rude and common interest existing
between the powers that guaranteed
Greek safety and constitution in the
eastern Mediterranean, and also be-
cause of our alliance with Serbia. all
our sympathies were from the begin
ming of the war with the entente pow
ers. Moreover, we were firmly con
WINGED that the developments of the
great struggle would, sooner or later,

account of our treaty with Serbia.

maintain our neutrality until the mo-
ment Bulgaria attacked Serbia. Had
this policy of the king been sincere 1t
would have been entirely honorable.
But, as events afterward demonstrate
ed. his policy lacked sincerity. Under
the veneer of paciti>in that policy at
tempted to exploit the lassitude which
seized Greece after the two Balkan
wars
But in reality his policy was due to
secret pact with Germany and had
no other purpose than promoting the
victory of Germany. because the tri-
umph of Prussianism, In the kings
opinion, was the only possible oppor-
tunity for him to impose on Greece
an absolute monarchy.
We have proof of this. When Bull
garia attacked Serbia the crown i'm
mediately took a position conflicting
with that of the majority of the new
parliament, refusing to fulfil the obli-
cations contracted by our alliance with
Serbia and thus opposing the will OF
the entire country as expressed
through the recent election. The king
told me at that time that he did not
consider himself bound to abide by
the wishes of the people. He said that
whenever an important international
matter came up for decision he re-
served the right to impose upon the
nation his personal viewpoint, claim
ing that he was responsible to God
only.
Divine Right" Doomed to Failure.
1t is quite obvious that such an at
tempt to establish in Greece the prin-
cipie of monarchy by divine right is
doomed to failure at time when that
very principle is abolished in Russia.
Furthermore, the victory over Prus-
sian absoutism and mlitarism, which
will be more decisive and more COM
plete now, owing to the immense mate
rial and moral resources thrown In the
balance by the great American repub-
lie. will not only result in the mlser-
able failure of the attempt made by
King Constantine, but, we believe and
hope, will also demoliSh in Germany,
to its very foundations, the antiauated
Z institution of autocracy. which is in
{ compatible with modern civilization
and with the ideals that gave birth to
+ the great North American republic.
Allow me to add that the entrance
Of the United States into the war

in congress make it certain for US that
