Officers Have Strenuous
Experience in Beer Hunt

Sheriff Buck Garrett learned Sat
urday night that a farmer who lives
in Loce County had a quantity Of
beer cached some place this side of
the Love County line and that he
had been in Ardmore trying to sell
it to two or three service car driv-
ers. Saturday night the sheriff and
lin Carter, deputy sheriff, went in
the latter's car to look for the beer.
On the Rocky Point road, about one
mile this side of the county line,
they found between seven and eight
barrels of beer, hidden in a CORFU
gated iron culvert under the high
way. 1t was in gunny sacks and
the rain had caused the mud and
water to I'll min on it until the sacks
were soaked in mud.
On the road they passed two or
three service cars and, altogether,
the sheriff said, there were six or
seven drivers down ther looking for
tn beer. 1t appears they had not
purchased from the Love County
man, but thought they could find 1t
anyway. Jim Carter's car went into
the ditch an dhe and the sheriT
walked more than a mile and met
more service cars coming back, some
of them having passed over the beer
without finding it.
The officers walked on and carry
ing a flash light, they saw a number
of footprints around the end of the
culvert and looked into it and found
the beer. 1t was difficult job get
ting it out. The ycommandeered
one of the service car drivers and
his car and loaded the beer in his
car. After starting back his car
begged down and it was necessary
to load the beer onto another. They
walked three miles for help before
they got out the next car, which
also bokked down, and it was mid
night before they reached the jail
with the beer.
About 2 o'clock Sunday morning
they went back and tried to get Jim
Carter's car out of the mud and
failed. 1t was necessary to go again
Sunday and take a block and tackle
to pull it out.

lean at home, means loyalty to the
demands of the present. In the
first place our loyalty to the man in
the trenches implies keeping him in
good heart. Not only must we send
him constant words of cheer, but
the damnable treachery OF doubt
and pacifism and Germanism, which
keeps trying to spread itself through
the press and by spoken rumor,
must be stopped and abolished-ut-
terly swamped in patriotic enthus-
iasm. Whenever you hear a doubt
ing whisper of disloyalty, nail the
whisperer as liar and a criminal,
and know YOU are doing your coun-
try a service.
Part Of our duty to the men in
France is to make the profiteer and
the striker understand that they are
disloyal crooks, and to block their
selfish and disgusting game by any
means necessary. There is no
choice between the man who is will
ing to profiteer and the man who
is willing to strike for more wages,
in the present crisis. They are
equally despicable, the lowest Of the
low. If shame will not restrain them
they should be drafted and set to
work at a decent wage and profit.
Our duty to American posterity,
or our loyalty to the future, must
consist in passing on to the coming
generations all our national ideals
unimpaired, in leaving to them the
institutions of freedom which we
ourselves have found available.
What they may do with those in
stitutions under new conditions is
for them to say. But at least we
must leave them as good as we
found them.
We are fighting now to preserve
our national life, our civil rights,
and our homes and families from
devastation and ruin. When we
have succeeded in that, I believe our
first duty to posterity should be to
shut the door on European immi-
grafton. The vague and dreamy
ideals of internationalism are a
snare and a delusion. We can
best serve the world by preserving
the United States as a nation, with
its laws and institutions and Gus
toms and standards undebased by
the ignorance of those millions of
refugees who will wish to flee to
us after the war.
If we leave the door open we
shall be swamped. The German
agent and the bolsheyiki should be
barred.
Another immediate duty to pos
tcrity is the establishment of uni
yersal compulsory military training,
not for the purpose Of maintaining
a huge fighting machine, but for
the purpose of rearing race Of
men who shall be physically fit for
the arts of peace and for all the du-
ties OF citizenship. To perpetuate
the present lack Of universal train
ing of any kind, would be to do 4
great unkindness to the coming men
of America.
These are all immediate duties to
which we can set our hands and
Wiils-Which we can do now.

Indiana Democrats, stunned into
Inconsistencies by the blow dealt
them by the Republicans at the 1916
election, are just beginning to re-
cover and to take an interest in poll
tics. They are organizing for an
attempt to recover at least some of
the seats in the house of representa-
tives they lost in 1916.
1t has been observed recently that
the critics of the administration are
not singing in harmony. Some of
them are wailing because the decla-
ration Of war was delayed too long,
and others are deploring the unfor-
tunate management of affairs which
led this country into war.
Notwithstanding barrels Of criti-
cism have been poured upon Secre-
tary of War Baker nobody is charg-
ing that there is politics in the war
department. Just at this particular

WHAT AM I DOING?

Ask yourself this question,
what am l doing toward help
ing my country win the war"
If you are not doing something,
don't you think you are a very
lukewarm American?
The government doesn't ask
much of you. 1t merely asks you
to do without unnecessary things
and invest money saved thereby
in securities. You can buy War
Savings Stamps and assist the
nation.
Remember that every time you
buy a War Savings Stamp, which
is redeemable in gold in 1923,
you are firing a shot at Berlin.

came to a head some time ago wnen

AS soon as the trouble was
to the attention Of the school board
1t was indicated just about what atti-

consequence of this. petitions Were
circulated favoring the OF
the Tischhauser sisters and. IN case
Of their failure to have their contracts
renewed, their reinstatement.
The petitions were presented to the
board at its annual meeting last night
and while the board refused to renew
the contracts with the two

school wear, the matter was referred
to the committee on teachers ana

reasons prompted them to the

1t was said today that the fact that

Reports Presented at Annual
Meeting Of Board Thor
sen Reelected President.

~ s ). III 49, -' .
At the annual meeting Of the board
of education held in the city hall last
night it was decided not to re-employ
Charlotte and Lillian Tischhauser,
grade teachers at the Roosevelt
school. Informal reports of the
school architect and Superintendent
j. Nelson Kelly were heard, and a de-
tailed report Of the receipts and dis
hursements of the board was present.
ed. by r. T.. Burchard. secretary.
1t appears that the Tischhauser sis
tiers have found it somewhat difficult
to enter into the spirit of the other
teachers OF the city during the pres
ent time, and that while no charges OF
pronounced pro-Germanism or actual
d~isloyalty have been preferred against
them. there is a tendency to allege
that in their attitude toward the pres
EFT day issues of patriotism'there has
Been a lack of sympathy and spon-
taneity, and that the patriotic school
work sponsored by the sisters was
carried out in,a rather perfunctory
and formal manner.
Petition Circulated.
