MOTORKORN IS
 QUITE LAWLESS
Some Day the Raucous Tyrants of the Streets Will Be
 Suppressed.
MEANING IS UNMISTAhABLE
"kIaxon," "screeeh," "RattIesnake," ]" Birds" Roaring Bull" and "Barker" Sprung Into Exist
 ence Over Night.

There is no mistake about it, the motorhorn is busy endeayoring to make us it's slaves. It may be, of course. that in these days, when to petty tyrannies are added supertyran- nies and world tyrannies, and our lives are bound up with fighting the archest of them all, we are liable to scent q tyrant at every turn of the daily rou tine. But the motorhOrn is particu- larly fragrant type. Do what we will to dodge it, we are rarely, if ever, free from it, observes q writer in Chris tian Science Monitor. It reaches us as we wake, it startleS us as we walk. All day long and well into the night it keeps up its hideous caeophony, it's raucous demand, it's threat and coun= ter-threat, its expostulation and blame, it's roar and blatancy, it's blast or howl, it's bark or whistle. bidding Us to get out of that despot's way. No matter the note, whether it issue from screech horn or rattleSnake horn, bulb or "bird," it's meaning is unmistakable i; we must stand not upon the order Of our going, but 20.
 Is a LaWless Fellow.
 The motorhorn is, at heart, q lawless fellow. though there were days, hal cyen days, when lie was amenable or ut least law abiding. Ii is rather ex- asperating now to recall that compara- tive age of innocence when the motor horn was emerging and the horse driver pfedomiHated, when nothing worse than the comparatively innoc- uous ifrItations of whip cracking used to sound in ones ears, while bicycle bells rang musieally along the high ways.
 One took comfortably to the mellow brazeH trumpeting of the bulb" It was friendly certainly kindly intenz toned It never startled. and pune ture in is bloated sides, which gave 1t vizened, expiring note, suggestive of defating balloons, always raised q sympathetic laugh. It seemed to say Would you mind?" or By your leaves CT "NYill you oblige?" or "AIind your toes, please!" or anything pleas ant and courteous of that kind. It was never brutal and tyrannieal, 1t never presumed to order us about, much less to make us jump, or suddenly change our legs into agitated springs. One simply obliged it; one liked to oblige i; it Was rather delightful to obey such q kindly disposed fellow.
 But day came, dies irae, when everything changed. The "klaxon," the 'screeeh" and the "rattlesnake," the bird" and the roaring bull," the parker" and the whatnot seemed to have sprung into existence overnight and to have combined in one fiendish contest of autocratic maievolence with the ayowed object of chasing every predecessor off the motor earth Be fore their onslaught, bell, bulb and the musical Gabriel" went their way, and, alas! with them went our peace and security. Before we knew it, we had, instead of motor signals, a roaring fauna of the streets.

plea of nolle acknowledgements

The evidence is the winnowing from

in the Offices of the United States

we'll as other documents. It fills a
hacking case, two trunks and a suit

ceded he could not disprove this.

brought out during the investigation

charges made against the brewers De-
fore the grand jury by newspaper ar
ticles published while it was in ses-
sion. Here are some Of these charges:
Claimed Exemption
From Tax for Contributions
That the brewers reported to the
United States Collector Of Internal
Revenue heavy contributions made by
them for political purposes, and that
they claimed exemption from the in
come taxes for these sums. The brew
ers, following the statement of this
charge in court by Mr.. Humes, ad-
mitted this in an advertisement pub
lished in February IA, 1916.
The Jones resolution, under which
the Senate committee is acting, charges:
'"rhat they (the brewers) have de-
frauded the Federal government, by ap-
plying to their political corruption
funds money which should have gone to
the Federal Treasury in taxes" and
chat the brewers associations were
organized for the sole purpose Of con-
trolling elections" This latter charge
was also made in court by United
States Attorney Humes.
The Jones resolution says that 1.-The
said United States Brewers Associa-
ton, brewing companies and allied in
terests have in recent years made con-
tributions to political campaigns on
scale without precedent in the politi-
cal history Of the country and in viola
zion Of the laws of the land" and that
"they are attempting 20 build up in the
country through the control Of such or
CARNATIONS as the United States soci-
cites and by manipulation Of the for
eign language press political IN
fluence which can be turned to one or
the other party, thus controlling cleo
toral results"
That large sums OF money we're con-
tributed to light suffrage campaigns,
as we'll as to fight prohibition. espe-
cially in some of the important Eastern
states.
That the Pennsylvania brewers levied
a tax Of 80 cents barrel on all beer
that they produced, the proceeds going
into their political fund, and that there
was a rise in the price Of beer to the
public Of 80 cents a barrel at the time
this tax was levied, SO that they thus
forced the public to pay their political
bills.

nractices laws Of the various state hut
