Editor Cornell journal"
,Windle was party Prohibitionst,
a delegate to conventions and can
didate for Office on the Prohibition
ticket In 1896 he left the Prohibi-
ton party and became a Democrat.
Windle had sold out the Cornell Jour
nal but remained in the newspaper
business. He published paper called
the Gattling Gun in Fairbury, III. He
was later in the newspaper business
in Ottawa, Ill. He finally landed in
Chicago, where he acquired Brann's
Iconoclast. In this appeared articles
declaring Christ myth and the Bible
a fabrication of the early Christians.
The American Issue Publishing Co.,
Westervile, Ohio, publishes four
page leaflet containing extracts of the
anti Christ and anti-Bible writings of
Brann's Iconoclast under editorship
OF c. A. Windle.
The Iconoclast OF May, 1918. de-
nounced people who protest against
such pictures as September Morn as
"long-nosed, pickle-livered, lop-sided
acrid-hearted buttinsl;ics."
In Iconoclast of December, 1912,
there was a two and one-quartcr page
article headed "A Criminal Crusade"
This article favored the redlight dis
trict. Doctors were quoted who said:
LET us go on record as favoring mu-
nicipal regulation, even il it carry us
to the point of licensing"
In December, 1918, there was an
article denouncing professional re-
formers who work to close "redlight'
districts, declaring that it vas not the
Christ method In August. 19l4 he
made use OF what he finds in the Holy
Bible to bolster up his argument in
favor OF the "red-light" district.
After Windle became a profe ssional
wet orator and campaigner he started
defending the Catholic Church against
the anti Catholic papers assailing her.
Few Catholics know of the past rec
ord of c. A. Windle and Brann's
Iconoclast under the editorship OF c.
A. Windle. Mr.. Windle in his paper
vigorously denies that his paper is a
liquor organ, but in Champion of Fair
Play for November "a, 1917, we find

the district board of the Liquor Deal

dent of the American National Wom-
ans Suffrage Association, in an adj
dress before the suffrage leaders il

the greatest menace to the cause oil
woman's suffrage is the violent op-

again the woman's vote which will
inevitably follow Prohibition. She is
quoted in the North American as say.
ing:
We will undoubtedly be caught
in the fight against Prohibition.
1t is simply a question of wheth-

stand the backwash against us.
The vets will not give up the
fight and of course you know that
they blame the women for much
OF their defeat. They are not

you will discover that they will
put UP stiff fight to control leg

 Mr. Freeman said that he has been at work preparing such bill, but it is possible that he will ask some other congressman to introduce the mea% ure. Mir. Freeman is to return Eo Washington on Thursday of this week.
 As there are no Spanisf, War vet erans over I5 years old, and few over 60, the cost to the government will be practically nothing until long after ten times as many Civil war veterans are stricken from the rolls by death.
 At least seven other Spanish war veterans bills are also to be intro duced.

Soap should bc used very carefully. if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkah. This dries the scalp, make the hair brittle, and ruins it. s
