BAD FOR THE WAsHERWoMAN.

So acute has become the local short
age in w~aSherwomen that it amounts
to a famine" says Robert Patton in
the American Issue. 1t was not always
so. In the halcyon days when Denver
had saloons and the pay envelopes
were being cashed in the thirst par
lors, thousands of the wives of drink
ing men were compelled to take in
washing to exc out a slender living for
the little family. This condition suited
the booze interests to a I. One of
the wet newspapers in an exuberant
outburst of philanthropy urged the sa-
loonkeepers to send their family
wash to the wives of their patrons"
and let the saloonists rake in the pay
checks.
But all this is but a dream since
this city went dry. Daddy is now
spending his money for household sup
plies and wife has ceased to take In
Westinghouse the famine" Verify
prohibition has "hurt" the washerwom-
an business as well as that of the I'M.
dertaker and grave digger.

Temperance
Is OteSa
EVERY MAN AT HIS BEST!

Men and women as citizens are the
product Of four environments: The
physical, the moral, the industrial and
the political.
A physical incompetent by superior
qualities of the uncomfortable soul
may lift himself out of the chains of
disease and pain and make his fell
lows his debtors, but nc man will
deny me when I say that that which
makes for physical incompetency Is an
enemy of the state.
A moral incompetent cannot be a
good citizen.
An industrial incompetent cannot
be a good citizen.
A political incompetent cannot be a
good citizen.
1 submit to you that the liquor in
%stitution is the supreme tangible foe
of the state. because it is the supreme
positive promoter of physical, moral,
industrial and political incompe-
tency.
Millions of citizens, men and wom-
en-, Immediately vital to the national
and world program of this republic,
cannot be at their best until the liquor
institution is destroyed. Other and
unborn millions are physically, NOR
ally, industrially and politically pre-
damned by the eugenic faint of alco-
hol. And America needs every nan at
his best Daniel A. Polling.

Automobile Theft Fooled

1t seems from past experience that
whenever an automobile is stolen in
this neighborhood the police at once
look up Jake Curriden as the thief
This has happened a number of times,
but for some unexplained reason he
has been able to evade punishment.
Last Saturday morning Leander S.
Loder, who is employed by the con-
struction quartemaster at the Della
ware Ordnance Depot returned from
work about 1.30 o'clock and placed his
car in the garage. While in the kitch-
en- of his home he heard voices in the
yard. Although having removed his
shoes and most of his clothes he VEN
tured out and found an effort being
made to start the machine. Hurrying
back to the house he got his gun, re-
turned to the garage and. watched the
men at work. They were unable to
start the motor, so they decided to let
out the air and take the tires. From
where he stood he was enabled to get
excellent view of the three men who
were engaged in the work. They were
Jake Curriden, Alex Stewart and
Charles Hall, colored. Loder finally
went up to them and ordered them to
throw up their hands. Steward made
a. lunge to grab Mr.. Loder's Weapon,
but the farmer was too quick for him
and pointing the gun at his head or
dered him to leave the premises at
once. Loder allowed all to go, having
recognized them, and at once COM
municated the facts to his neighbor,
Nathan Mattson, Justice of the Peace,
and their arrest followed.
They were taken before Squire
Smith, in Salem, where Curriden and
Stewart were held in $1,000 bail for
Court. Hall, the colored man, was
held under $500 bail as a witness.
1t has been learned that the men
came to Loder's in a machine that is
believed to have been stolen. They
say they stopped to get some gasoline
and a spare tire, as one of theirs had
gone wrong. Steward has made the
statement, it is alleged, that had he
been successful in getting the gun
from Loder he would have killed
him. Stewart is declared to be a pro-
fessional auto thief and has had Cur
riden, who evidently aspires to the
same title, working with him for some
time. Hall was taken along, it is said,
because he knew the lay of the land.
The latter gave the officers some val
liable information which caused the
prompt capture of the others.

ANDREW JACKSON
ANDREW JACKSON

andrew was Dorm 1oz years
ago March 18th, 1867.
While there was no formal COM
memoration of his birth day here, adj
mirers of the sturdy American Presi-
dent and warrior will recall his career.
Jackson was born in a crude little
cabin in the Waxhaw Settlement, near
the boundary of North and South
Carolina. 1t was always thought he
was born in South Carolina, but when
the State line was r~esurveyed, long
after his birth, it was found the jack
son cabin was on the North Carolina
line.
As a boy, Jackson fought in the
Revolution, and as a man he won in
ternational fame by his victory at New
Orleans. A century ago he successfully
prosecuted the war against the Semin-
oles. In 1928 and again in 1882 he was
elected President of the United States,
and although lacking many of
the qualities of polished statesman
ship, his patriotism and answering
honesty more than atoned for what he
lacked. When he left the Executive
Mansion he had only seventy dollars
and a few acres left of his once vast
estate. Like so many other occupants
of the White House, Jackson came of
Scotch Irish stock.
Jackson, who died in 1915, was adj
mitted to the bar before he was
twenty.

GERMANY UNDER PROHIBITION.

The German army was practically
modified under prohibition, Miss Mar
garet Wintringer tells in the Union
Signal. Germany actually clambered
over the wheels of the water wagon
she says, by reviying the law of the
state of seige enacted in 1851. FOL
an unheard of six weeks ever beer was
under taboo in all German villages
And to these six weeks Germany owes
her initial success in the war. But
ere firmly seated she fell off the wa
ter wagon. In October the law of the
State of Siege was lifted and there fol
lowed the wretched village orgies, anc
the atrocities in Belgium which have
forever blackened Germany's escutch

LuMeERJAcKs OPPOSE SALOONS

A good argument for prohibition Is
furnished by the action of Washing
ton lumberjacks. About fifty of these
men had been fighting fires in Idaho
and Washington (both dry states) and
refused to go into Montana to perform
the same service because they feared
that if they exposed themselves to the
temptations of a wet state, they would
lose all their earnings in the saloons.
So they turned down al appeal for
help at good wages and remained ID
dry territory.
Montana's statutory prohibition law,
enacted November, 1916, goes into at
feet December 81, 1918. After that
date the state won't be Stunned by
lumberjacks or by anybody except
booZerS.

Uades Northwest TODAY

DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 7.-After
a days rest in Des Moines. President
Wilson left here at midnight for Oma-
ha, where he will speak tomorrow.
In the evening he will speak at Sioux

in Des Moines hotel, where they had
spent their first night off their special

attended services at Central Presby-
terian Church, and in the afternoon
went for an automobile ride.
The President seemed to enjoy the
ride immensely. On the way smaller
car turned over into the ditch, within

Wilson ordered his driver to stop and
inquired whether any one was hurt.
He was assured that all those in the
car had escaped injury.
Rear Admiral Grayson, the Presi-
dents physician, said Mr.. Wilson had
been much refreshed by his Sunday
stop in Des Moines and was in good
trim for the strenuous week before

Audience Beats Barber
For Applauding Reds
Fined $40 for Approving
Movie Subtitle, ''Down
With ReligiOn''

Manuel Lopez, barber. of 141 West
Ninetieth Street, was beaten, elected
from the Strand Theatre and then fined
$40 for disorderly conduct yesterday
for applauding a picture about Boil
shevism when his neighbors in the
audience did not think applause was
in order.
A quotation from a Bolshevist speak
er was thrown on the screen reading
Down with the priests and religion" "
and Lopez, it is alleged, applauded.
Murmurs started among his neighbors,
among whom were two wounded SOL
diers of the 1st Division.
Then another subtitle appeared,
"Down with religion and autocracy.'
Lopez, it is said, applauded again.
Thereupon about fifty persons jumped
at him and began to beat him.
E. C. Roberts, a state trooper, res
cued Lopez and took him to the West
Forty-seventh Street police station
where he was arrested on charge OF
disorderly conduct.
Magistrate Simpson, in the Night
Court, warned Lopez that "this is 6
bad country in which to express a TX
ing for Bolshevism" and fined him $40
