MAKING II PROHIBIT
Bootlegging Agents in Nebraska Con
1scate Booze; Large Amount
Seized in Ex-Saloon-
keepers Club

Governor Neville's bootlegging
agents last week seized $50 more bot
ties of beer and a barrel of whisky
containing u gallons in Dakota
county, Nebraska. Altogether nearly
1000 bottles of beer, several kegs of
whisky and barrel of vat liquor have
been confiscated and are being held
as evidence in the courthouse in Da-
kota City. The seizures have been
made in and around Chrystal Lake,
the pleasure resort on the Nebraska
side of the river near South Sioux
City.
The biggest haul was made in the
cottage of the Il Don't Know" club,
whose membership is said to consist
largely of former saloonkeepers.
Owing to the failure OF local Off
Gals in Dakota county to render any
effective assistance in detecting and
prosecuting offenses against the pro-
hibitory law of Nebraska, Governor
Neville has requested Judge R. E.
Evans of Dakota City to act as spe-
cial prosecutor in the cases pending
there. Federal officers likewise have
failed to render any particular as
sistance in the Governors campaign
to stop bootlegging, but this is attrib-
uted largely to the fact that they
were busy rounding up slackers for
military service and in performing
other duties in connection with the
war.

CAMOUFLAGE
By George McGinnis

"Camoufage" is a word brought
from France and is similar to our ex-
preston, throwing dust in the eyes,"
1t is trick of optical illusion by
which the movement of troops and the
location of batteries and ammunition
depots are screened from the enemy.
Many French artists are now fighting
with paint pots and brushes. They
have painted roads beneath which
troops were moved to important po-
sitions. Houses, hay stacks, cows,
horses, have been faxed to conceal
batteries from the eyes of the enemy.
Camouhage has been largely used
by wet artists in America for years.
The revenue from liquor, the import
ance of liquor in the business world,
amount of grain used, ETC., have all
been faxed time and again. Many a
man has seen something in the press
in praise of the liquor traffic which
upon tracing it down he finds is an
optical illusion. "Budweiser is a
friend of mine" Beer is LIQUID
bread" Beer will build you up"
Beer aids digestion" Beer is a
tonic" Beer is cooling" BAIL

PROTEST GRAIN WASTE
Religious Editors Say Use of Food,
stuffs in Alcoholic Liquors Is
Both Unpatriotic and
Indefensible

A meeting OF the editors of religious
papers was held last week in the Of
flee of Herbert Hoover in Washing
ton. Forty or more leading religious
papers were represented. The COM
mittee on resolutions, composed of
Joy, of New York; Brady, of Chi
cago; Dieffenbach, of Boston; Can
non, of Richmond, with other reso-
lutions promising hearty co-opera-
ton with Mr.. Hoover in the food adj
ministration, passed the following
resolution:
In view of the demands that
are being made on producers,
traffickers and consumers of all
kinds of foods and feed in time
of war, we express our convic-
ton that the diversion of grain
from use as food to the manu-
facture of alcoholic liquids is in
the present emergency an unpa-
triotc and ndefensible waste.
The editors adopted this resolution
with the hearty unanimity which
means the pressing of the battle to
forbid waste of foodstuffs to make
beer and wine.

BREWERS NOT FULLY ASSURED

Their Grip on Congress Precarious
1--WE are not going to cross any

recent statement of August Busch,
president of the largest brewery of
the country. He had been asked what
steps he would take il war Prohibi-
ton should be determined on. Other
brewery officials seemed to think a
decrease in the manufacture of beer
and not total Prohibition would be
ordered by Congress.
St. Louis saloonkeepers are not op-
timistic. Some of them, however,
have been passing round the whis-

known that many men who had con-

Effects on Industry

EuCCIS Oh 1Hu4SlhJ
One OF the most marked effects OF
the Prohibition policy in Berwick has
been on the American Car and
Foundry Company employees. There
were men connected with that firm
who doubted the wisdom of making
the town dry, lest they would have
difficulty in retaining their employees.
Two thousand of these latter are for
eigners but the boast of the rummies
that discomfort would reign among
the foreign born population has not
been realized. The company has
experienced no shortage of labor
even in these times when they are
running at highest possible speed and
employing $500 men. More of the
foreign born people have bought
homes or lots in the last two years
than in six years previous under Ii
cense.
Occasionally the company has been
obliged to lay off some of these for
eigners because it has lacked material
with which to carry on its work.
Generally, they have gone to the coal
regions where there is abundance of
booze and worked there until the
company notified them that it could
give them employment again when
they have returned promptly.
Under the old system. the booze
crowd shipped in eight or nine car
loads of liquor prior to payday. AS
a consequence the work in the factory
was shot to pieces and for two or
three days following payday or holt
day there would be anywhere from
1000 to 1000 men off. But on the
5th day of July, 1917, when the COM
pany was running at its maximum,
less than $50 men failed to report for
duty and the effect on the operations
was scarcely noticeable.
One of the strong evidences of the
value of the no-license system is
found in the reports of the banks.
These show a gain in deposits of
threequarters of million dollars in
the last two years. 1t is not claimed,
OF course, that this tremendous in
crease of deposits is due entirely to
Prohibition, but according to the
testimony of the bankers themselves,
large percentage of the new de-
positors are people who formerly
spent their earnings on booze.
The fact is clearly recognized by
the citizens of Berwick that the re-
demption of that town must in large
measure be credited to President
Judge Evans. With the exception of
a few old saloonkeepers who want to
get back on the job there seems to
be in the town very little opposition
to the 5adge's re selection. 1t is quite
generally understood that change in
the president judgeship at this time
means the return of Berwick to the
old conditions.

LIQUOR AS A REVENUE
PRODUCER
(Des Moines Register,


Irving Fisher, professor of
political economy at Yale Uni
versity, has produced authori-
tative statistics to show that
the retail sale of liquor in the
United States is S2,25o,ooo,o 900 a
year. Now, anybody knows
that this is all in the form of
tax upon the productive indus
try of the country, for, laying
aside any consideration of pub
lie morals, liquor is a purely
luxury contributing nothing.
Suppose internal revenue is
collected on distilled spirits to
the amount of S15o,ooo,ooo and
on fermented liquors to the
amount of Sso,0oO,ooO, that is
less than a quarter of billion
altogether, less than 10 per cent
of the Liberty Loan. If the
whole $500, 100000 of liquor
levy on the consuming public
were suddenly removed, does
anybody doubt the ability or
disposition of the people to
make good the $500, 100000 loss
in internal revenue?
This argume emit has been
threshed out in every commu-
nifty that has ever laid a side
walk with money derived from
saloon licenses. 1t has been ar
gued that without saloon Ii
censes the public revenues
would be greatly embarrassed.
In not single instance has the
claim proved good. For the sa-
loon, instead of being a tax
contributor, was a tax levyer,
and the moment it was gone
not only the public revenues
but the private resources of the
community were increased.
The government of the Unit
ed States does not derive dol
lar from liquor; on the con-
trary. liquor drains the United
states of more than $2,0o0,000,-
900 annually, or enough to take
care of a large part of the cost
of war. To maintain liquor is
merely to add to the other bur-
dens of war time, without any
compromising advantage what
ever.
1t is strange that intelligent
men will stand in their places
in the United States Senate and
make plea for liquor as rev.
enue producer.

SENT TO JAIL

Eight months in the county Jail and
fine OF hundred dollars for selling
liquor to soldiers was the sentence
imposed last week on George Duport
by United States Judge William H.
Hunt in San Francisco after the sa-
loon man had pleaded guilty to the
charge OF selling liquor to men in
uniform. The sentence was the most
severe given thus far in the campaign
of army officials and police to enforce
this federal law. In sentencing Du-
port, Judge Hunt scored all similar
offenders and declared even heavier
penalties will be meted out in future
cases.

Have sucked life's blood,
Ruined lives and homes,
Caused bitter tears.

By that demon ruin.

When we need men
And all our nations torn?

CARS DROPPED
INTO WASHOUT
Montpelier & Wells River Train Service
Was Badly Disarranged By
Heavy Rainfall.

A washout on the NJ. & w. R. railroad,
between Plainfeld and East Montpelier,
wrought havoc with passenger and
freight traffic last night and to-day and
for the reason that the tender and two
cars of an extra freight train were de-
rallied the process of clearing the tracks
was necessarily slow. Locomotive No.
10, followed by several freight cars, left
Wells River at $3.50 O'Clock last evening,
bound for Montpelier and Barre. Not
far from the Plainfeld station the out
fit struck soft spot in the road, the
bed having been undermined by the
heavy rains. Strangely enough the To-
comotive sank into the depression, but
clung to the irons and emerged safely
on frmer going. The tender, however,
was unlocked when the locomotive took
the dip and when the tender went off
two freight cars left the rails.
No one was injured, but hurry call
was sent in for the wrecking crew and
during the night strenuous efforts were
made to open the way. The Green Noun
tain express, which left Barre at $3.50
O'Clock, was held up no attempt being
made to carry over" passengers and
baggage This morning the 1920 train
left the city on schedule time, expecting
to proceed as far as the wash out, where
arrangements had been made to trans
fer passengers to a train on the opposite
side of the depression. From Boston the
Green Mountain express came as far
west on the NJ & w r. railroad as the |
wash out, where passengers were permit
ted TO carry over" to the train which |
left here at 1920 o'clock.
The Green Mountain express connec- |
tion, therefore, was nearly two hours |
late in arriving in Boston to-day. Road |
officials expressed the opinion that traf-
fic conditions would be restored to nor
NAL by nightfall.

Because of Death of Carey Palmer from
Infantile Paralysis.

Waitsield, June ls.--0n account of a
death from infantile paralysis in this
