Finding tho stolen Car.

The state legislature enacted q
law that viii effectively put crimp
in the trade Of stealing automobiles.
1t went into effect July 4th OF this
year. Its good Feature Is that al
autos which are stored IN garages
must be identified by registra tlo m
There is a fine of not less than 500
for failure to comply with the law.
1t will mean much extra labor for the.
garage men, for which he must OF
course collect, and the travelling pub
lis will be the loser. However, there
will be less stolen autos, and the
travelling public will many times over
make up a ahy a sma fol,e exa

HOW DID MEEKER
KNOW ABOUT VOTE?

Before the day of the election rolled
around the Hon. Jacob Meexer an
nounced in a public address at To-
ledo: The boys in camp have voted
three to one against prohibition and
send their vote back from dry state
Ala bama"
We wish 10 ask how did Mr.. Meek
err know how the boys in camp had
voted?
Again. on November 2. the Cincin-
natl Enquirer had this headline:
PROHIBITION DEALT BLOW BY
SOLDIER VOTE AT CAMP SHEER
NAN. ELECTION OFFICIALS BE-
LTEvE."
A paragraph in the body of the
article runs thus: Election oficers
were interested in the controversies
which the balloting stirred up and
reached the conclusion that living
under prohioitive restrictions did not
change the attitude of the majority"
This. together with numerous other
references to the soldier vote coming
from certain quarters, was intended
to rnisiead the unsuspecting. It may
have had that effect with those who
do not know the difference between
ward election supervised by saloon
men and gunmen and an election held
in military atmosphere where
touEhs and thugs could not get in
their usual work.

More evidence o. the reasonable
work of the msn-Ameriean AL
lance has come TO light. this time In
conn ection with the sale of the sec
ona liberty bonds Most of this evil
dence has come from such German .
American Alliance states as Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Missouri For
instance. we have the report of the
president OF a Wisconsin bank advis-
ing the treasury department that his
depositors. most of then, German or
OF German parentage, Withdrew many
thousands OF dollars from his bank
because he aided the first liberty loan
and that these deposttors had taken
these accounts to two rival banks on
the understanding that those bank.
would not aid the second liberty loan.
He reported that the banks mentioned
were not aiding the loan In any way.
So tnsf.tent has been the German
pressure upon some banks that some
state governments have decided that
they would withdraw state funds
from banks which yield and refuse TO
aid the loan.
