Every time the kaiser profanes the name of the Most High by creditine Him with his butcheries the poten tate degra1les himself further in the eyes of the civilized world.
 The ordinary highwayman, porch climber, burglar, cutthroat, murder CT and raper does not, after he has committed his deed, praise God.
 The kaiser has even less reason tc praise the Almighty.
 He should praise his pardner, the devil.

The colored citizens of Jefferson county have not invested as literally in Liberty bonds as their fortunes warrant. Many of the colored men in the city have taken bonds, but hum dreds of colored farmers who could easily have subscribed have failed.

BRILLIANT BAYONET CHARGE

Somehow, every time we read of a brilliant bayonet charge" our blood begins to freede.
 The other day war correspondent described a hand-to-hand encounter with "hand grenades, bayonets and knives,"
 This cutting and slashing at close range would never do for a nervous person. We are glad, however, that it does not occur often.
 A good, clean bullet is the best way to die on the battlefield. This close range method in which bayonets fig ure reminds us too much of the slaughtering pen.

WILD RIDERS CAPTURED
Colorado Officers Have Thrilling Ex-
pcrience Capturing Bootleggers
in High Powered Automo-
biles; Shoot Tires

A thrilling chase after bootleggers,
in which two men were injured and
their big supersix racing car was
wrecked after its tires had been shot
off by officers, followed closely by a
second chase and capture OF a whisky
laden automobile, featured days
campaign of Adams county officials
against the men who are smuggling
booze into Colorado from Wyoming.
The two bootleggers were seen on
their way to Cheyenne and attaches
of the sherilf's office were instructed
to watch for their return. Under
sheriff Ferguson saw the car coming
back to Denver. He surmised it was
loaded with booze and notified Sheriff
Rucker by phone. Then, accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Moreland, he
started after the super six.
Sheriff Rucker was the first to catch
up with the bootleg car. He held his
shotgun while his son drove his car
The two smugglers put on every
ounce OF power when they saw the
sheriff's car approaching.
Finally the supersix drew ahead of
the sheriff's car. Believing he was
about to lose his quarry, Rucker
started shooting at the tires of the
whisky-ladcn car. One of the rear
tires was punctured with buck-shot
and the car became unmanageable,
finally turning over and landing on
top OF the two occupants.
Twenty cases OF booze were cap
tured.

POLICE RESIGN

Just exactly ten days after
Marquette, Mich, went dry as a
result of the statewide Prohi-
bition law, one deputy of police
and one patrolman resigned.
The reason given, according to
the Marquette Daily Chronicle,
for these designations was that
there was nothing for these of
fcers to do. The Chronicle says
that since the saloons have been
closed the city can easily get
along with the police force thus
diminished, because crime has
decreased to a marked degree.
Not one arrest has been made
in Marquette for drunkenness
since the night of the first of
May. Not one case has come
up before the police court, and
the inmates of the city Jail are
chiefly CANNES whose owners
have neglected the license law.
There arc no longer any thrills
for the Michigan police.

INTERESTING NAMES
Special Bar Permits in Chicago Re-
quested by Organization Differed
by Men of Interesting Names

The last Saturday when the special
bar permit ordinance OF Chicago was
still in effect, % permits were issued
to societies to sell booze at dances.
The largest of these organizations
which asked for the permit was the
United Austrian and Hungarian So
ciety OF North America In the appli-
cation for the permit Nick Wagner is
named as president, E. S. Englebach
is secretary and John T. Freifogle,
porter, is treasurer. Another of these
organizations was the STEWARDSHIP
and Badischer Damen verein, a
woman's organization with August
Lueders sponsor. Another German
organization that got permit was
the Erchenstein Kranken Untersteut-
zungs verein. These are sample or
CARNATIONS of the crowd that op-
posed Secretary of Navy Daniels in
his demand that the special bar per-
NIT ordinance be repealed in the in
terest of the sailors training for the
United States Navy. There may be
individuals in these organizations
who are loyal Americans, but the Of
fcers, in taking the position they did,
have put the societies on record as
being more loyal to booze than to the
flag.

Booze did its share in stopping tn,
life of Jack London at the age of az
but his words of warning, and con
domination of the liquor traffic, still
live, and should ring in the ears o
very conscientious person in oul
and. Here is one of his paragraphs
The way to stop drinking is to
stop. it. The way China stopped
the general use of opium was by
stopping the cultivation and inn
portation of opium. The philoso-
piers. priests and doctors of
China could have preached them
selves breathless against opium
for thousand years, and the use
of opium, SO long as opium was
ever accessible and obtainable,
would have continued undated.
We are so made, that is all. We
have with great success made a
practice of not leaving arsenic and
strychnine, and typhoid and tu-
berculosis germs, lying around for
our children to be destroyed by.
Treat John Barleycorn the same
way. Stop him. Don't let him lie
around, licensed and legal to
pounce upon our youth.

BAD WAR WASTE
Iowa Newspaper Shows Way to Pro-
vide Labor Army to Fight Against
the Hun; Condemns Waste

Again there is raised the cry for
men and the prevention of waste. II
is being taken up and passed along
with all theardor of live progressive
journalistic world as found in the
newspapers of the nation. But it is
interesting to note that there are
those who are among the influential
newspapers of the country which are
Analysing the problems of the war
and are not slow to make their rec
concentrations on their findings. A
recent statement in the Des Moines
(Iowa) Register gives some very in
teresting light on the German army
under arms on the western front in
France and the German ally in this
Country. The Register has this to
say:
The Register has received its
annual present from the distillers
and wholesale liquor dealers,
"The AUTHORIZATION Manual"
Here is the opening statement i'll
the Manual:
DO you know that the produce
ton and distribution OF alcoholic
beverages give employment di-
rectly to 100000 personsa"
1t is hard to realize it. 1t is
hard to realize that at time
when the one cry heard through
out the world is for men-men to
fight, and men to back the fight
ers-1 100000 able-bodied Ameri-
cans should be employed in the
production and distribution of
alcoholic beverages, wasting their
labor, wasting food products, and
lowering the morale of the ma
ton.
Enough man-power is going to
waste in the liquor industry, ac-
oordng to "The Anti Prohibition
Manual" to build all the ships we
need to defeat the submarine.
Enough is going to waste to solve
completely the great question of
food production in the United
States, for ourselves and our al
lies. Our wasted man-power is
sufficient, were it modified for
the task, to insure allied victory
over Germany with an absolute
defniteness which we all wish we
were sure of today.
Think of it. Germany opened
the western offensive with re-
serve estimated at 81 divisions,
or 100000 men. We have
reserve of 100000 men in the
liquor industry.
The United States cannot afford
to overlook the great argument
for the abolition of the liquor in
dustry which is furnished by the
.fact that the man-power of 1,100,-
600 adult citizens OF the United
States is going to waste in it.

BRANDEGEE SPEAKS
rnsinuates That American Women
Hold Pink Tea Meetings to Make
Pink Chemises for Soldiers

Senator Brandegee Of Connection
on May 7 in the United States Senat,
protested against further discussion
of woman suffrage or Prohibition
during the progress of the war HI
argued that woman's place is in thu
home. Mr. Brandcgee is reported il
the press as saying;
You cannot win this war by
talking about woman suffrage and
Prohibition.
We won the war of 1776 and
1872 and the Mexican war, and
the war OF 1860, and the Spanish
American war, and there were no
pink tea parties talking about put
ting pink chemises on the men
and Plymouth Rock pants on the
women.
The women do not propose to
go over in the trenches abroad
and do the fighting. 1t is the men
who have got to do that.
Instead of bleating around here
about their saving democracy by
forcing their way into the cau-
cuses and conventions, they had
better go home and knit, make
bandages, pick lint, and get ready
to take care of their brothers and
sons and fathers who are going
to be shot to pieces in the
trenches abroad
Take the boys over in their
trenches there, standing all night
in two feet of ice water, with or
ders in their pockets to go over
the top in the cold gray dawn in
chilly fog, to put their exposed
bodies up against shot and sharp
mel and machine guns and poison
Gus gas and they say in addition
to frozen feet they are going to
fill his belly full of ice water be-
fore he starts as a moral stimulus
TO him. II is perfectly absurd.
Every army abroad gives its
men a drink of something to ex-
pand the cookies of the heart be-
fore they go up against the cold
blue steel and it may be the last
one the poor devil will ever get.
Yet you would think that this war
is going to be won by such fads
and fancies and frills as that.
Now let us get down. to brass
tacks and win this war.

There are indications that our
Allies will be permitted to obtain
some of the coming crop of bar
ley and rice grown in California.
Current reports are that the Cali
fornia Brewers Association, in
Guiding the 90 breweries of the
state, will reduce the consumption
of barley from 100000 to 49,
100000 pounds and rice from H.
100000 pounds to 100000
pounds. Thus if the people of
