BISHOP GAMBLERS MESSAGE

r.. anese Advertiser the following press
- dispatch from San Francisco:
GA general exodus of brewers from the
United States to China may be expected, ac-
cording to statement made here by Ru
dolph Samet, president of the California
State Brewers association. He said;
"'We are looking to China as the
best place to locate I'm going to China
in few days to arrange for the con-
struction of two-milion-dollar plant
for one brewery. Other brewers are
making similar arrangements
This dispatch was printed in the papers
of Korea and China, as well as in the press
of Japan.
1t is a confession that the brewers and
distillers know that their nefarious business
is doomed in the United States. They will
continue, doubtless, to fight prohibition in
our country, but evidently they believe that
tEey are making losing fight.
Neither they the friends of temper
ance would have believed a few years ago
that the doom of the liquor traffic in this
country would have been fixed soon. But
it is fixed; this reformation will not go
backward. The false cry that ''prohibition
does not prohibit" can not be made longer
with any show of sincerity. Prohibition is
prohibiting in America, and hence, a new
field is sought in China.

Wise men of the world, not less than

In China there are upwards of four hun

they are acquiring it rapidly Many thou

BERTILLON RECORDS
By John Brock

- HE sea beach is often quite deserted in
advance OF the incoming tide. The
creatures who await the feast it's turn
will abandon by the shore are fishing the
deeps or buttering Off about some concern of
their own which they do not permit to break
into their working hours. A cormorant or SO,
diving beneath the breakers, and sparrows,
slipping about in the low tangle on the dunes,
are all who seem to linger. Yet the beach
is eloquent of their presence. The diary of
the past hours is written in the moist sand
And no sleuth comparing the thumb print
with his quarry with his innumerable files is
any keener than am I on these prints of the
pi1ferers of the shore,
By far the most frequent are, the leisurely,
full-webbed three-toed tread of the gulls
Smaller and faster ones the terms. A
trace of the fourth toe would mark a kitti-
wake or, if very pigeon-toed and with web
bed hind toe a, duck. The albatross would
make this sort of mark, huge and clumsy,
scuffed by his. dragging feathers if ever he
condescended to come inshore. y ~~.
Cormorants leave a four-toed, three-web-
bed mark. So do the pelicans with twisted
body-wake between them. So must the
fr1gate-bird on whatever far island he makes
his nest. Then only does he deign to touch
the earth. Even storm cannot bring him
down. Sailors who glimpse him far out at
sea say he can soar by the hour facing the
wind without beat of his long wings,
In the shelter of marshes you may find the
lobed toe mark of the grebe or the clean four
toed print of the rail They are two shy for
the open beach. But it is the smaller marks
which require the incest discrimination. @

as a sparrows, but with little running steps,
made by sandpiper o. turnstone, Longer

life is elevated is to make of it a peril to
itself and danger to others.
It is obvious, therefore, that the intro
duction of infaming intoxicants into China
will create an awful menace to the world.
Intoxicating liquors raise the passions Of
human nature while weakening the moral
restraints required to hold those passions
within safe limits. They are, therefore, the
most fruitful sources of crime, especially
crimes of RIGHTEOUSNESS and violence.
Christian missionaries have heretofore
been the main teachers of China, and this
has been we'll for mankind. Thereby Chris
tian motives have been inspired in exact
proportion to the increase of the intellecLua2
power of the Chinese. But now two great
evils are beginning to operate against the
benign influences which have issued from
Christian schools and the preaching of the
Gospel there.
1. Most of the Chinese students who
come to our country for education enter the
wealthy but rationalistic universities of our
country. They are attracted by the superior
physical equipment of these institutions and
by their imposing structures. When these
students return to China very many of them
will become active opponents Of evangelical
Christianity, as many have become who have
returned already. They will have lost also
their faith in the heather religion of which
they were adherents before coming to Amer
lea. 1t is most dangerous thing to take
away the religion Of man or nation with
out putting in it's place a purer and nobler
faith. But rationalistic schools, into which
Chinese students enter, do that very thing.
They destroy confidence in the Chinese cults
and hinder faith in a pure and Scriptural
Christianity. Chinese students who have
been thus educated away from their ances-
trail belief and taught to disregard evange-
1ical Christianity, will return to their own
land without God and without religious
hope. .....- ,..=
The war has shown us what nation
may do in which faith has persisted. That
was the case Of Germany in making the war
which has been a combination Of science and
savagery. And this Teutonic rationalism
persists in many of the most wealthy insti-
buttons in the United States, nothwithstand-
ing the awful consequences which have is
sued from it in Germany. 1t is conceited,
truculent and confident.
Recent Investigations by a committee Of y
the United States senate disclosed the names
of number of leading professors who have
been teaching and who are continuing to
teach, the most dangerous doctrines.
AS he polished his customers boots the
bootblack puffed at the end of cigar. Think
ing to have little fun at the youths ex-
pense, the customer asked him If he always
smoked cigars. >
ooh, yes; pretty often" declared the youth.

was the next question.

What Shall Be Done With the Kaiser
e." r. BV Dr. Frank Crane

The question before the house seems to be,
what shall we do with the kaiser?
Shall we hang him, banis him. mutilate
him, imprison him, or slap him on the wrist
and let him go?
Myself upon time did lean toward the
proposal to hang him, together with his sons.
and all the high command of the German
army down to the rank of major at the
gate of each city of Belgium and of north
ern France that had been ravished by their
frightfulness.
That anger, however, is spent. On second
thought agree with Lord Lytton that the
very worst use to be made Of any mar is
to hang him, even of kaiser breed.
For no sooner is a man hung, even the
most arrant scour drel, than the natural re-
action of pity sets in, apologists appear here
and there, at first timidly and then boldly.
and the rapscGllion becomes hero. The
death penalty always carries with it a sort
of canonization. And many yellow dog has
sneaked up the path of glory after the
martyrs.
No, death is too noble thing for William.
/ Much the same can be objected to exile.
1t as least implies that the victim is dan
gerous, t" >' r..
William is not dangerous He contains no
Napoleonic menace. He is broken, impo-
tent old man. The cart of time has ratified
on and dumped him in the road out of it's
tail.
I would therefore suggest, my lords and
gentlemen, that you visit upon this criminal
a punishment which fits the crime, to wit,
namely: g..
/ That you put him to work.
:. I hesitate@to&suggeSt this, as it may seem
inhuman and cruel far beyond even the hor-
ror of the Hum fsf IT,"
But justice must be done. First, therefore,
let us deprive said William Hohenzollern of
all his lands, castles, estates, moneys and
income, handing the over to that Bel
GUM and France which were robbed through
his connivance and command.
Then let him be given a job at the white
goods counter in the Cheap-forCash En-
porium in Peanutville, Kan, there to wait
upon customers and earn his daily bread,
with guards stationed behind piles of soap
boxes with loaded guns, ready to shoot off
an ear or so in case he juml~ his job.
In this manner, unique in the treatment
of offending majesties, he would be handed a
large, juicy slice of democracy, would be
able to do some real productive work before
he dies, and incidentally be a drawing card
for the aforementioned emporium not to be
sneezed at.
