ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON.

As direct result OF prohibition

ent OF one county house Of correc-
Iion announces that he hash Z
enough sentenced men in the work
house TO care for the farms under
his charge. 50 few men have been
consigned to the institution vi late
that he must hire outside help to
get the work done.
Under license there were enough
prisoners to DO all the work al the
county farms. with enough lett over
TO hire out to neighboring farms.
It's not a cheerful outlook. how
ever. Sober. healthy. self-respect-
ing men are better workers than
prisoners working out a sentence
10. drunkenness OF crime. And a
shortage OF labor at such an insti-
tuition means an addition TO the la
Dor supply OF the outside commun-
iiy.
There are numerous similar cases
in many other dry states or COM
munities. They furnish fine food
for thought for private citizens and
state legislatures still in doubt about
the federal prohibition amendment.

GERMAN MUSIC.

it i picture OF Beethoven walking
by the sea. The great shoulders
pushing forward into the storm, the
massive head with the characteris-
tic forward thrust OF the thinker
shaggy brows knitted, lips in tight
firm line-in it the artist has caught
and expressed wonderfully that
tragic struggle OF great soul with
a torturing fate which was the life
and is the music or Beethoven.
Into the room came thoughtless
patriot-ouc OF those people who
mean well. You ought to be
ashamed OF yourself hanging that
picture on the wall he said. a
German! You ought to throw it on
the floor and trample on it -
The woman was disturbed. She
had never thought OF Beethoven as
German. He was a musician. a man
al all races and times. Was She
wrong: Ough, she throw out Bee
thoven. picture and mu,i,. because
the Hohenzollerns and their gang
want TO cnslave the earth ?
There is great deal OF ,enSeless

ness which burned the AleXandrian

at Rheims. We need not make
Goths and Nandals OF ourselves just
because the Huns-are huns. 1t in
dicates infection with the germ OF

Consider Beethoven for a moment.
His family WAS Belgian. His grand
father moved the family to Bonn
because his Belgian mu>iclanship
got him good job At the court
Ludwig Won Beethoven was an in
dividuai>t always. He had a pas
sion for freedom. Much OF his work

revolution. He dedicated a sym
phony to Napoleon when thought
oi him a, a leader Of democracy.
When Napoleon accepted the em-
peror', crown. Beethoven, in a rage,
ore up the dedication.
Tame the great English critic,
said there were four men oi genius
who stand alone. They are Dante,
Shakespeare. Michael Angelo, Bee

The philosophy OF Beethoven is
no more Prussian than Is that Of
Thomas Jefferson.
Look into the subject little be-
fore destroying books. pictures and
music. Those which bear the ap-
proval OF great minds over a long
period OF time are apt to prove upon
inspection not quite 50 German IS
