GEN. TRAUB, gassed and wounded
at Chateau Thierry and Argonne, has
been before the Congressional Com
mittee appointed to investigate the
charge made by Gov. Allen of Kansas
that ineticiency and lack of prepare
ton had caused the loss of thousands
of American soldiers in the battle of
the Argonne. The General puts a
crimp in the Governors story by tell
ing the facts in the case; and as he
was present all through the fight
while the Governor was a good dis
lance away, his statements are con-
elusive. In this connection l take
from the st. Joseph Observer the fol-
lowing:
"Before you get through I would
like for you to give us a report on
the efficient work Of your organiza-
ton, the Y. M. O. A, / have heard
more complaints about the ineficien-
cy of the Y. NJ. O. A. than any other
organization in France,n was the
terse, but sharp sentence that Sena-
tor Kirby Of Arkansas fired at noto-
riety seeking Henry Allen Tuesday,
when he appeared before the Senate
military committeeman the windy
Kansas governor collapsed.

IT is well to recall the the words of

from the turmoil of politics to the
peace that endures for all time: "If
there is not called a halt in restrictive
legislation in this country, in fifty
years we shall be the most despotic-
ally ruled people on the face of the
EARTH" He said that twenty-five
years ago, and no thinking man to-day
questions the clearness of his fore
sight.

In Nebraska there is pending before
the Legislature a bill to prohibit dane
ing on Sunday, while in Arkansas a
measure prohibiting, under penalty of
from 300 to $500, all public balls on
all days, is being considered by the
righteous Solons of the Bear State.
All this is good, as far as it goes, but
it doesn't go nearly far enough. Now,
there's the %fddle-the ungodly fiddle:
it is Siamese twin to the dance. Why
not make it a felony to use it or have
it in possession? Then eliminate the
frivolous song-bird, veil the joyous sun

line we may hope to make this earth
so dismal and f~orbidding that no
terror can attend our consideration of
the eternal future-a contamination

Judge Hand Indicates
He VIII Not Grant Beer
Injunction To Brevers

Judge A. n. Hand in the Federal
District Court last night, after listen
ing to the argument of counsel for two
days, indicated that he will not grant
the injunction sought by the Jacob
Hoffman Brewing Company TO restrain
United States Attorney Francis Caffey
from prosecuting the brewing concern
on criminal grounds for carrying out
It's plan to manufacture beers contain
ing 2& per cent alcohol after MAY |.
While no definite decision was made
Judge hand stated his desire for an
early ruling on the case and arranged
Tor the submission of briefs next
Wednesday. The court asserted that
he considered the Food Conservation
act, whatever its construction. con-
stitutional, and that to sue United
States attorney because another Off
Ger OF the government has construed a
statute in a manner in which the
United States Attorney has not indi-
Gated his concurrence would scarcely
be proper. Whether the suit as
against Richard J. McElligott, Deputy
Collector of Revenue, will stand will
be decided by Judge Hand after the
examinations of the briefs.
Judge Hand, addressing the counsel
FOR both sides, suggested that instead
of carrying the appeal from whatever
might be his decision to the United
States Supreme Court the matter be
brought before the Circuit Court of
Appeals. He asserted his confidence in
this tribunal granting an extraordinary
session to hear and pass on the ljtiea,
tion the result of which will be so far
reaching. Mr.. Guthrie Immediately de-
clared that he favored such procedure.
Ellhu Root, senior counsel for the
United States Brewers Association.
asked Judge Hand to declare unconsti-
tutlonal the wartime prohibition law.
which, he asserted, was enacted "under
false pretence, as every man and woman
knows"
Mr.. Root said that this measure was
designed not to aid in carrying on the
war, not to aid in the conservation Of
TODD. but to bring about state of pro-
hibitlon prior to the date fixed by Con-
gress.
