Of our people during this dread

FOR THE PEACE COUNCIL-BRUSSEL

The editorials published in this newspaper, en-
titled 'For the Peace Council-Brussels" have
struck sympathetic chord in the hearts of the
American people and in the sentiments of repre-
sentatives of our allies in this country.
The idea of bringing the German criminals back
to Brussels is hailed as one of the most appro-
priately just and fitting punshments that could be
meted out by the allies It's moral effect on the
German people would be incalculable.
Brussels was the first large city to suffer from

Where are we at; what is the law
and what the conditions under which
some, necessary liquor medicine can
be obtained to check the fearful cpl
demic? The consensus Of opinion is
that liquor is the most effective
remedy and to a great extent the
prevailing sickness and deaths a:e
due to the fact that liquor medicine
cannot be obtained. By drastic and
burdensome laws, covering seven
large pages Of the statutes, the drug
gists have been driven from the sale
of liquor for any purpose. Hence,
liquor cannot be had only as it is
carried into the state or imported
for personal use. But under the con-
stitution every person is guaranteed
the right to buy, sell and acquire
property, and the right applies to
to any other class of property, only
so far as it is modified by Sec. PIT
of the Constitution. To that modi-
fication the legislature cannot add
one jot or title. It forbids any per-
son to manufacture for sale or gift
any intoxicating liquor, or to import
any of the same for sale or gift; or
to keep, sell or offer the same for
sale or gift as a beverage. No per-
son is forbidden to manufacture or
to import liquor for his own use. The
right to import liquor for personal
state or the Federal authorities, or
use was never denied by any
statute, until July 1st, 1917. That
was the date for the fake dry
statute to become effective, but as
we have shown to demonstration,
the statute was never passed by the
Senate, and so it never became law.
It is a pure fake and a fraud; and
there is no state law or constitution
to prevent the importation of liquor
for personal use just as freely as the
same was imported prior to July LIST,
1917.
Where are we at? We have the
U. S. dry statute rider on the last

With the direct encouragement of

Featuring scores OF sensational and
patriotic spectacles in its two-mile

bigger than ever and better than
ever, with many new troupes of aer-
ial, acrobatic and equestrian stars
from the allied nations A ballet of
fifty girls appears in the spectacular
ensembles of the great program.

length which is an animated, stir

The Sells-Floto menagerie has been
enlarged until it is perhaps the most
complete travelling ZOO in the world.
A recent addition is .Colussus," only
gorilla in captivity, six feet high and
l1S5 pounds in weight. This giant
beast is the realization of show mems
dreams, as the gorilla has seldom
been captured alive. And this spec-
| linen "Colussus" is the largest ever
seen by African animal men. He is
btrnly the missing link.
In one of the two great side shows
is Carlos Traveno, the two-headed
Mexican, who has perfectly shaped
head gowing out of his forehead

Theodore Spencer arrived Monday
from HALEY, where he has been en-

near Meridian. Bruce Floyd, his
father-in-law, a short time ago pur-
chased the H. F. Irwin ranch Z:
miles west of Meridian, and is now
located on it, There are two other
families who have left the HALEY
country and purchased land lear

looking fine in the Silver creek val

pie are getting ready to put up their
first crop OF alfalfa. They cut two
crops a year, and it is as much as
three cuttings in the Meridian section
he says. 1t win average this year five
tons to the acre. They are short Of
help, the same as here.

Notwithstanding the statement of

not be a candidate for reelection
this fall, there seems to be growing
sentiment. especially in the Meridian

former resident, that the sheriff
again stand for denomination and

COLONEL RoosEvELr's MISSION.

Colonel Roosevelt, former president of the
United States, will be the guest of Omaha again
today. He comes this time to speak under the
auspices of the National Security league, his
mission being to awaken in our people liveler
spirit of devotion to the war. His outspoken
advocacy of strong policy for national defense
has brought on him condemnation from pacihst
sources and political opponents, who have not
stopped at stigmatizing him as = "niltarist,' an
advocate OF force, and various other undesirable
things, but have also attributed to him q sinister
purpose, which he, has denied Colonel Roose-
velt is nothing If not vigorous; halfway measures
have no place in his program. He was and is
staunch defender of the rights of Americans
everywhere and under all circumstances. Speak
softly, but carry big stickp was not an idle
phrase with him. In championing the cause of
the Allies against Germany for many months
before our entrance to the war, he but voiced
the sentiments OF millions of his countrymen.
His criticism Of delays and mistakes has been
sharp and frank, but helpful, and his most blis-
tering denunciation OF Our enemies within our
borders has been unsparing but welcome to the
Americans whose hearts beat true with his. His
mission today is to arouse, to help and not to
hinder the president in pressing the wal, to vic
tory for right and America.

Another Hospital Bombed

When the commander OF q German air.
plane raid on British hospital was brought
down and captured, the other day. he said,
IN reply to questions, that he had no desire
to kill wounded men and their nurses and
doctors, but that if the British would build
their hospitals near railway tracks they must
expect to have them bombed. OF this plea
in mitigation and avoidance, the most that
Philip Gibbs found to say was that its truth
could not be disproved.
Now that American hospitals far behind
the lines have been assailcd from the air
with both bombs and machine guns, and on
two successive nights. perhaps the difficulty
OF absolutely proving intention remains, but
the evidence OF intention Is quite strong
enough to convict in almost any court-in
any court not German, that is-and the
problem for solution Is in relation to the
German reason, and not in relation to the
German purpose.
In other words, why do the Germans
attack hospitals? From the military stand
point the effect OF even successful raid of
this sort is next to nothing. On the other
hand, the Germans cannot be unaware that
every such exploit increases the anger and
hatred OF which they are already the objects
The theory. that they enjoy doing what
they know will be offensive to other peoples
is one not to be hastily dismissed. If they
did not, why have they bombarded Rheims
cathedral, month after month, and why have
they committed many another crime for
which no better motive is known or even
imaginable?- York Times

Status Of Unnaturalized
ROhemln11s
BONem1 1UWS

The war has produced no greater paradox
than this: Unnaturalized Bohemians in the
United States are technically enemy aliens,
because they are subjects Of the Austro-
Hungarian empire.
Bohemians are Siavs--not Teutons. Sur
rounded by conquering Teutons and Mag
yars, and brutally oppressed by both, their
history for generations gives record OF the
miseries and humiliations Of subjugated
people. Their sympathy in this war is over
whelmingly with the allies and against the
central powers. Many Bohemian regiments,
dragooned to war under the Hapsburg BAN
ner, have revolted and deserted. Other regi-
ments have been decimated for mutiny. 1t
is said that 100000 Bohemian soldiers fought
on the Russian side. Others went over to
Serbia; and lately thousands of Bohemians
have enrolled with Italy. Delegates who
undoubtedly represented the will of great
part of the Bohemian people declared their
country independent OF Austria Hungary.
The Bohemians have done about all people
so situated could do to express their hope
of Teuton defeat.
It has happened. however. that many Bo-
hemians and other sincere friends OF our
cause have been annoyed and humiliated
merely because they bore names which were
neither Anglo-Saxon nor Latin. The loyal
people of the United States have plenty OF
real enemies to fight. Let them take care
that they do not fight Enthusiastically

Gern,any's Case Plainly Stated.

DR.. Dernberg, we'll recalled in America, is
now before the public again, this time with q
statement as to Germany's war aims He states
the case for the kaiser's empire very plainly.
Summed up, it is that Germany must fix terms
OF peace. This is essential because for the mara
time development of the empire, its external as
we'll as internal wel-being, and to secure the
raw material to prepare for world consumption,
Germans can submit to no restricting conditions.
All this will be established by force, If need be.
Nothing could be simpler. II the Central EN-
pires are ever to resume. their status as world
powers they must achieve all that Dernberg out
lines. Short Of victory, they are in danger Of
destruction by their own weakness. At present
the war debt Of Germany and Austria amounts
to SAL 0O0000000, to which must be added sS,0O0,-
100000 of paper currency, issued against $780,
100000 Of metal money. With industry of all
sorts at lowest ebb, with commerce destroyed
and every activity Of the people exhausted by
the war, the situation of Germany and Austria
10 easy to understand. Defeat means bankruptcy
and bankruptcy for nation means disappearance
