Brewster Files Brief in NJ. p. Case
Attacking Bone Dry BIN.

Attorney General Brewster today
completed his brief in the case filed
by the Missouri Pacific railroad in the
United States supreme court against
the state of Kansas attacking the con-
stitutionality OF the Webb-Kenyon law
on the grounds that it was not passed
by a proper majority of the senate
over the presidents veto. The con-
tention of the railroad, If upheld, it is
asserted would knock out the Kansas
bone dry law.
In his brief the attorney general
asserts that the railroad bases its con-
tention on a false premise, asserting
that the law was legally passed in that

1t frequently has been suggested in
these columns that the war could be
won in Macedonia. The collapse of
Bulgaria may be the beginning of the
breaking up of the whole Teutonic re-
sistance. But it probably will be bit
terly disappointing to the Serbs to
have their progress checked by an
ar1nistice. just when they have the
Bulgars by the throat.

Moreover, it is not to be forgotten
that the paths of filtration do lead to

Many youth who begins talking

Another good point about filtration
Is that it gives young people a chance

whether the attraction for each other
Is merely surface attraction, OF one
that reaches greater depths. This is
an invaluable preventive of insult

the day of marriages of convenience.
1t has no place in the love match, for
now can two young people know
whether their hearts beat in unison or
not until they have tried them out
together?
This the filtration gives them
chance to do. and for one or the other
to withdraw without hard feeling or

"Raffles" Coming

"Raffles," the amateur
craftsman coming to the Noga-
les Theatre on Thursday, Oct.
8, is a screen version adapted
from the famous novel by E.
w. Hornung, and there proba-
bly, isn't a person who has not
read it.
The story deals with the
thrilling adventures of socie.
ty thief, who steals for the
sheer love of adventure and for
the excitement of the chase, and
mere joy of outwitting the Pc.
lice and the detectives who seek
to capture him.
He never steals for personal
gain; always from the rich to
give to the poor.
His adventures carry him
across two continents, battling
society and the police. He at.
tempts anything that will bring
him a thrill. He has no regard
for his personal safety. He
courts danger. He would sacri-
flee anything for friend.

Navarro Granted New Trial.

Caesaro Navarro, convicted
at the last term of the court of
a charge of grand larceny, was
granted a new hearing yester-
day by Judge O'Connor. Ne
varro is alleged to have taken
1915 from the room of his COM
panion some weeks ago and
started for Tucson. The jury
empaneled in the case brought
in verdict of guilty, but on the
day set for sentence Frank j
Barry stated to the court thai
new evidence had been discov-
cred and filed motion for a
new trial. That was the mo-
ton argued yesterday and sus-
tanned by the court.
Navarro is without funds to
employ council and Mr.. Barry
was appointed by the court to
defend him. There was little
time for him to look into the
case but he is fighting just as
earnestly as though there were
a good fee in sight. County At
torney Hardy did not seriously
oppose the motion, apparently
being satisfied to give the de-
fendent a perfectly fair chance
to at least save himself from g
felony charge.

SWAT THE SCRUB"

The Oklahoman: The keynote OF
the cattIemen's banquet at Musko-
gee Wednesday night was Swat the
Scrub!' The report says that plans
were adopted for a "Swat the
Srub' campaign. the object OF which
is to Danish from the plains OF Okla
homa everything but blOoded stock.
1t is campaign worth waging with
vigor and persistence until the de
sired goal is reached. Confidence
may be felt, too, that that goal will
be reached.
Let us turn from the Muskogcc
banquet to the auction. The feature
of the sale was the purchase of a
famous bull, MaXwalton Command
er, acclaimed International Grand
Champion at the Chicago show of
1917. That bull was sold by a Tulsa
man and bought by Watonga man.
SO MaXWalton Commander remains
in Oklahoma. Many other cattle
were sold at that auction, and they
were mostly bought by Oklahoma
stockmen, notwithstanding cattle
men from seven states were present
at the sale.
Those facts are auspicious. They
clearly show that Oklahoma stock
men are in the market for bloodcd
stock. And while plans for banish-
ing the scrub are all right, and reso-
lutions to the same effect are alto
gether commendable, still the way
to get blooded cattle is to get them.
That is what happened at the Mus
kOgee sale

Christian Herald: Picardy was
one of the old feudal provinces of
France, and its territory is now COM
prised in the departments of Sommc,

name is still unofficially applied to
that part of France which borders

The city OF Amiens is noted for its
one of the most magnif-

AMERICANS AT TAMPICO
ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE

OF the armed naval guard of the Am
erican steamer Monterey killed the
captain of the Mexican customs
