SAME OLD CLAIMS.

DeS MONIES L TlDune.J
1t is now some forty years or more
since Iowa had a wine and beer clause
in the law. enacted on the theory 81
frequently announced that the sale OF
wine and beer leads to disuse OF
stronger stimulants and encourages
temperance.
Everybody of mature years will re-
call the actual operation of the law.
There were very few wine and beer sa-
looms where stronger liquors were not
to be had, and everybody who began on
wine and beer ended with whisky.
In the eastern states, where they ar
about forty years behind Iowa in the
agitation the old claim is still being
made confidently that wine and beer
will drive whisky and brandy out OF
use. In the New York Times. Dr..
Baruch. NJ, D., writes learnedly to this
effect, saying:
The experience of Denmark proves
that beer Of low alcoholic content has
been instrumental in reducing the con-
sumption of distilled intoXicants %
per cent and has made the saloon a
veritable temperance, house. called
there Afholdjen.'"
But this is not the most interesting
argument the doctor offers for exempt
ing wine and beer from the government
war prohibition on liquor; he urges
that as milk is the best food for every
body, and as brewery by-products
greatly stimulate thes flow of milk in
cattle, barley ought to be used for beer
rather than as a food grain.
Of the two arguments, the Evening
Tribune inclines to the belief that the
second is better than the first. But at
that is 1t not a round about way to
transform barley into milk by putting
it thru the brewery vat?
The wine and brewery men are max
ing a tremendous die-in- the ditch fight
to have their drinks exempted while
the distillery men are left to take the
full brunt Of the onslaught. II con
gress comedies the point, the country
will discover that not much has been
gained. For. in the end. the liquo'
men will be found all standing togeth-
er.

CEILING OEE The EARTH.

Two daily newspapers at FIT. Dodge
have consolidated and now there is but
one. These are times in which the
aim of man is not TO make two news
papers grow where there was but one
before. On the contrary newspapers
are compelled to get off the earth in
order that the few that remain may
live. Print paper which once cost two
cents per pound has nearly doubled.
Metal used in casting type and ster-
eotype plates has gone up to two
times is former value. Ink has risen
greatly. The II. C. Of L. is rap
idly forcing up all labor costs and still
the man who buys a daily newspaper
gets as much reading matter in one
day for IL cents as he could get In
one month in magazine for Is cents.
And now comes the congress at
Washington eager to jump on to man
when he is down. The house voted to
increase newspaper hostage 100 per
cent. Live stock shippers are employ
ing lawyers to fight proposed in
crease in freight rates Of Is per cent
but congress thinks that newspaper
transportation charges should go up
100 per cent The senate committee
has modified the attack by reducing
the postage increase ~ 20 per cent ID
vance but has guarded effectively
against any possible danger of pros
perity among publishers by assessing
special class tax of per cent upon
net income applicable to newspapers

double the income tax which they
paid last year as al! other corpora
lions will do. II their profits should
exceed per cent they will pay ar

BY and by, after Uncle Lucky had
smoked his cigar, he and Billy Bunny
went out to the garage and cranked up
the Lucky1nobile and went for ride.
And when they had gone for mile
or less, they came across their old
friend, the Circus Elephant. And, oh
dear me! He was an awful sight. His
left eye had bandage over 1t and his
left hind foot had an old carpet slipper
on, and his tail was done up in splints,
and he was, weeping great big tears, for
he felt dreadfully miserable.
what Is the matter?" asked Billy
Bunny, as Uncle Lucky stopped the
automobile.
"Oh, dear! Oh. dear!" sobbed the
big animal. II was in a Fourth OF
July celebration and the roman candles
got mixed up with the skyrockets and
the cannon crackers with the pin
wheels, and the first thing I knew

Censorship and Publicity.

Lord Northcliffe's warning to us
against the dangers of stupid official
censorship comes just at time when
the British people are aroused almost
to fury by the scathing denunciation Of
the plumbers of the Mesopotamian CAM
paign, contained in the report recently
submitted to parliament. But for the
censorship that covered up official mis-
takes and protected Incompetence in
high places, this long story of loss and
disatser would not have been written
into British history. The only thing
that will justify government in treat
ing it's people as unworthy of conf
dence is success. An autocratic gov
eminent can do this without fear as
long as it can show results But in a
free country unreasonable censorship

a dangerous popular reaction.

may not react on the government. And
in order that false system may not

The necessity for such cooperation
was illustrated the other day in the

TT has been the experience IN the
armies of Europe that men between
the ages of 20 and 35 years make the
best officers. Men of these ages, WIN
a certain amount of business expert
ence. are what we want for the second
officers training camps, which open
August 81"
This is the statement made by the
examining officer of this district, VINO
Is now considering applications for the
new training camp:
From the way in which applica-
tons are coming in, it is evident tnat
many younger fellows have miscon-
strued the governments circular
which stated than men over 81 Wonid
be given preference in the new train
ing camp. While it is very true that
older men are wanted, this should dis
courage no one of Is years of age,
and even younger, from putting In MS
request for admission. A mans chances
for being accepted are greater II ne Is
over 26 or 2S-but there will be large
number Of the 25-year class wearing
the khaki as officers.
TT seems that many who have asked
for applications for the new camp are
still holding them In the case OF the
younger men, this is big mistake.
The sooner their names are on file'
the more chance they have OF getting
in on the ground floor and having the
opportunfty to be an officer in the new

IOWA NOW DRY.
fDes MONIES Register. ]


1t will be well if everybody shall fix
early in his attention the exact pro-
hibitien which congress has put upon
liquor importation into Iowa, for the
prohibition Of congress is much
more drastic one than the state has
ever attempted.
From and after yesterday 1t will be
the duty Of the United States marshals
and United States attorneys to see to
it that fine Of $1,000 and six months
in the penitentiary is assessed against
everybody who violates the law. The
liquor men who have felt outraged at
state penalties had better think of them
now in the light of this United States
fine and United States Imprisonment.
Here is what it is illegal now to do:
whoever shall order, purchase, or
cause Intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce. except
for scientific. sacramental, medicinal
and mechanical purpose, into any state
or territory the laws Of which state or
territory prohibit the manufacture or
sale therein of intoxicating liquors Tor
beverage purposes shall be punished rs
aforesaid"
Nobody can fail to understand that
order, purchase, or cause to be trans
ported" pretty fully covers the field OF
bringing liquor across the state line.
It will be pretty hard to figure out how
iiduor can be gotten into the state
without violating one of these prohi-
/ bilious ir
But there is another section OF the
law that has not been made SO much
o. equally important to Iowa. 1t reads:
NO letter. postal card, circular,
newspaper, pamphlet, or publication OF
any kind containing any advertisement
of spirituous, vinous, matted, ferment-
ed. or other intoxicating liquors OF any
kind, or containing solicitation OF On
