Indiana's Prohibition
Law Is Declared Void

Evansville, Ind.-Indiana's state
wide prohibition law was held to be
unconstitutional and void by Judge
+. NJ. Hostetter of the Nanderburgh
county superior court, here to-day
in ruling on a demurrer to a com
plant filed by brewing companies
against the county prosecutor to en-
join him for enforcing the law after
April 2, 1918, the date named for it
to take effect.
The action of the court disposes of
the last of the preliminary steps be-
fore actual trial on the facts, and
opens the way for an imm mediate ap-
peal to the Indiana supreme court,
if the dry interests desire to take
that step.
Judge Hostetter declared that the
prohibition law, in his opinion, was
not one designed to limit and regu-
late the making and handling of
alcoholic beverages, nor to confine
the use of such beverages within
the bounds of temperance and mo-
deration, but absolutely to make
temperate and moderate use of in
toxicating liquor legally impossible.
He decided the present constitution
of Indiana would not permit such
n law to stand.

Even the Fishes Have
Their Love Affairs

Detroit. Mich.-This is no fish"
story as the term is usually referred
to, but it is a story about fish. Jim
Foster. student of fish affairs,
vouches for its authenticity.
Jim has a collection of big live
fish in a small aquarium in a down
town restaurant and for twelve
hours every night he watches them
perform.
The fish are very affectionate, 3"
declared the Ash student. They are
good tempered and kind toward one
another. See those two largest fish /?
They are married I guess. or else
in love with each other. They al
ways kiss each other good night and
nibble affectionately at each others
mouths. The female of the two
never puts her cold nns on the male
ones back. And in the morning
say. its amusing to watch them
yawn and stretch themselves.

branch banks have been established there.
While Japan is non progressive in raising
the standard of living in the homes of
her industrial workers, when it comes to
extending the markets for the products
of their toll, no nation is more alert and
aggressive than Japan now is. In JUS
tice to her we should remember that she
is with US in the war, but we should not
for a moment forget that she is hence
forth to be our enemy in the markets.
Our allies in the war will all be warning
for our own and for the trade of the
world before many years have passed,
and when that battle opens, the present
portends that we will be as unprepared
as we were when we declared war against
Germany. In order to show what the
Japs are doing to increase their foreign
trade we find that last year our purchases
of silk fabrics from Japan increased S4,-
600, 900. Of cotton fabrics the increase
was S21, 1000, 600. Of matches the increase
was 81, 600, 900; of porcelain the increase
was 81, 500, 000 Our entire imports from
Japan since the Democratic tariff went
into effect, have increased more than 300
per cent, the amount last year being
$285, 000,O 600. Not only are tremendous
inroads being made into our own country
by japanese goods which compete with
our own, but this is not all the trade
menace which faces us from Japan. She
is pushing us out of our foreign trade. In
1913 we sold 1870, $780, 600 yards of cotton
textiles in Asia. Last year we sold only
100000 yards. Last year Japan sold
$50 per cent more goods in Brazil than
she did the year before. Japan is both
busy and aggressive and is surprisingly
active. We cannot keep her from SELL
ing her goods in Asia, but we can at least
protect our own markets.

been issued from the Government print
ing office. There has also been issued a
four page sheet, telling what is to be
found in the bulletin. Besides the OK
pense of paper and printing large force
of travelling Investigators and office clerks
were employed for months under the
supervision of a man named Grogan of
Georgia. The bulletin does not contain
a single new idea on the subject of fire
fighting in American cities or anywhere
else. Thousands Of men have been for
years making the control of fires their
life work, and an investigation and report
made by people who are theorists or
merely statisticans, and who never have
had any experience in dealing with con-
flaerations, can add nothing to what is
already known.
While the Government is advertising
for clerks and stenographers, while our
industrial man power is being drawn upon
exclusively by the demands of war,
there should be no useless investigations
and no voluminous reports which add
nothing of value to the information now
available. The waste of money and of
human effort is now more than startling.
In fact, it is appalling. In war such as
that in which we are engaged there are
many wastes which are not preventable.
here are, however, many wastes which
should not be tolerated and this census
waste is one of them.

During the campaign which ended
September 9th, the Republicans of Waldo
county were united, worked together for
victory and won in such a substantial
way that the Republicans all over the
State applauded them. The Anglo Saxon
has ever been disputatious and is now
unchanged in that respect. In this the
men of Waldo county are ever ready to
follow the instincts of the race to which
they belong, and the writer claims no
exemption. He is one of the men of
Waldo county. Lack of unity has lost
US several battles. Today we are united
and in union there is strength. These
are perilous times and great issues are
forcing their way on the heels of war.
Winning the war is our first and highest
duty, but after the war is over there will
be government control, tariff, socialism
and other important issues to settle. II
we mistake not strong Republican party
will be needed then as now. Men who
are wise believe in preparedness for peace
as well as for war. Every good citizen,
whatever party he stands for, should,
next to being loyal American, be
politician at least to the extent of having
definite knowledge on important political
matters and should be ready, at all times,
to heartily unite with all whose views
coincide with his own. This brings unity
of effort and puts force into party action.

Lieutenant j. A. Lewis of West Med
ford, who has just returned to service in
the United States Naval Reserve after
several years of civil life, went to New
York recently to be assigned to a ship.
He enrolled in New York and was here on
four days furlough to take leave of his
family. While in New York he will be
the guest of his uncle, Rear Admiral
George E. Burd, industrial manager of
the New York Navy Yard
Lieutenant Lewis has seen a good deal
of sea service as an officer in the United
States Naval Auxiliary and in the mer-
chant marine. He has been on the Bru-
tus, Vulcan, Vestal and other govern
ment GOLFERS, and spent several months
in Mediterranean waters. He was for a
year lieutenant in the Philippine coast
guard service, being member Of the
staff of the Polillo, the official yacht of
the governor general when that office
was held by W Cameron Forbes of Bos-
ton.
Before his marriage, two years ago last
Christmas, Mr. Lewis gave up the sea to
enter business, and at the time of his re-
turn to the service was living in Brain
erd, Minnesota. From the time the Unit
ed States entered war he received various
appeals from the Shipping Bureau and
the Naval Auxiliary to return to the ser
vice in view of the need of trained men,
and although over the draft age he felt it
a duty to accept.
His wife was Miss Mildred Themes of
Minneapolis. They have baby daugh-
ter, Katherine Jean, aged nine months
Boston American.
Lieut.. Lewis was born in Belfast in
1850, the son of Ross G. Lewis, who died
many years ago. His mother is Mrs. Ed
win D. Burd, Who, with Mr.. Burd and
family, is spending the summer at Little
River. Their home is in West Medford,
Mass. They will return home as soon as
Miss Susan Burd. sister of Lieut.. Lewis
is able to travel She has been ill for
some weeks in the Waldo County Hospi-

Graft Responds Instantly to Iwo-blade
Rudder.

Some interesting tests have been made
recently with a dual rudder, illustrated
in the October Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, in an attempt to demonstrate the
possibility of eliminating the rex ersing
turbines of ships.
For normal cruising the plates are fold
ed together. A double steering wheel is
employed. When locked, the two men,
bers turn as one At other times, when
the two wheels are thrown in opposite
directions, the leaves of the rudder are
adjusted to desired angles The equip
ment gives boat brake that is quick
acting; it enables reversement of direc-
ton with the engine running full speed
ahead, and permits craft to be turned
in its own length. The demonstration
boat is able to reverse direction from full
speed ahead in nine seconds.

MR.. McINTIRE AND HIS PARTY.

1t would be entirely consistent with
human nature if Mr.. Bertram G. McIn-
tire was wondering if all he had been
through was worth while. Mr.. McIntire
is man of character and surely cannot
approve the campaign which has been
waged by his party. Some of it's charac-
teristics must have offended his good
j Judgment. Personally he is a man above
reproach, kindly, and deserving of full
respect. The makeu of the party to
which he belongs, however, has put him
into association with men of far different
sort. Mr.. Newbert's zeal carried him far
along course which Mr.. McIntire could
not follow Fundamentally. Mr.. McGil-
licuddy, also, led along unpleasant ways.
n other cases than those of the two gen.
tlemen named the methods employed by
other candidates must have been dis
tasteful to so clean man as Mr.. McIn-
tire. 1t is true that he continued this
sort of campaigning for time, but finally
he showed his disapproval. Then his
own appeal for support was based upon
the fact that he was of the party that
elected the President To urge that his
election would, by reason of that fact,
demonstrate support of the President,
might have been reasonable. That it was
not reasonable was not Mr.. McIntire's
fault, but was the fault of his party. It
was not reasonable because a large ma
jority of the Democrats in Congress did
OF support the President in his request
for the selective draft law, while large
majority of the Republicans did support
the President and without their support
the President would have had no power
to put an army into the field. Mr. McIn-
tire was unconvincing because this fact
was against him. He fell before the UNI
controvertible fact that the Republican
party, as an organization, is loyal to the
nation and knows how to serve it. The
Democratic party is mineling of broad
minded, loyal men and men of narrow
vision. 1t has always been such, and, if
the campaign in Maine affords a fair
basis for forecast, it will continue to be
