An Ancient Love Story.

When over-fllled with pride of our
10Th century culture, our refinement of
spiritual intelligence and our literary
skill. We may find it a wholesome mind
tonic to take up and read again the
oVo-year-old story Of Ruth. 1t will be
round toward the first part of the Old
Testament and may be read in Is min
utes. 1t Is love story of the DAYS
when the ways of courtship were cruda.

OF Israel at least. rigidly moral, and
not too commercial to admit of love.
But the charm OF the young widow.
Ruth. the quality that has placed her
IN the galaxy of the darlings of liter
allure. is not SO much her behavior to-
ward her lover, as her love for Naomi,
her mother-in-law. Ruth is surprise
as we'll as delight. She was not 4

itual. as were Mary the mother of Je-
sus. and Mary the sister Of Lazarus.
Ruth lived 1000 years before these, and
she was born of despised heather peo-
pie. Ruth was of the tribe of Moab a
people. il we may believe the stories
told abont them. who took their morals
from Sodom, their manners from the
desert tribes and their gods from the
discard. Moab was in contempt in
Israel. Moab is my washpot," shout

y typical family of Israel, intelligent,
reverent-a father, mother and two
sons-had been driven from Bethle hem

rare advantage Of living in that family

the moral atmosphere, the character.

Naomi pleads with Ruth to so back

reasons why it is best that Ruth return.
To logical mind her arguments are
unanswerable. But Ruth's mind is not
logical. With tears she says-and neve.

Entreat me not to leave thee
Or to return from following after thee.
For whittier thou goest l will go.
And where thou lodgest I will lodge;

And thy God my God
Where thou dest l will die
And there will ] be buried.

800 Saloons Open With Il
Rush as Judge Pollock
Signs Order Against En-
forcement of Prohibition
Revenue Stamps Issued
Brewers Rush Deliveries;
Federal Attorney Acts TO
jam the Lid Down Again


ST louis, Nov 22.-Thc ban on
beer was formally removed in St.
Louis and the eastern district of
Missouri at noon to- day.
At that hour United States District
Judge Pollock, sitting in Kansas City
Kans., signed the formal restraining
order which was granted St Louis
brewers yesterday.
Saloons have re-opcncd and tbs
thirsty are at ease once more.
The order enjoins Federal authori
ties from enforcing sections Of the
Volstead wartime prohibition enforce
ment law relating to the sale anc
manufacture of beer containing one
half of one per cent or more alcohol
While the order does not specif,
the amount of alcohol to be containct
in beer sold by virtue of the injunc
ton, brewers will init the alcoholic
contents to 2.75 per cent.
News that Judge Pollocks signatur,
had been affixed to the order which
Attorney Charles NJ. IIouts, represent
ing the brewers. took to Kansas CITY
kans., to- day--was contained in tcle
gram rom Judge Pollock, received a
I p. M. by Collector of Interna
Revenue Moore
The telegram follows:

same is now effective"
Collector Moore Immediately gave in
structions- to his deputies to issu,

signed and the Federal ban lifted. To-
night approximately 800 saloons are
running full blast.
Brewers who throughout the morn
ing had been awaiting word that the
order had been signed Immediately
started the delivery of 2.75 per cent
beer to saloons throughout the city.
Trucks had been loaded and delivery
slips given to drivers early this morn
ing and everything was in readiness
for the order that would formally lift
the ban.
While brewers, saloonkeepers and
customers are rejoicing in the lifting
of the ban, Assistant District Attorney
White is preparing to Illustrate the
provisions Of the restraining order and
again clamp the lid on St. Louis. White
announced that the government would
plead no further in the present case.
but just as soon as Judge Pollock made
the decree final, it would file an ap-
peal and ask for a writ of supcrsedeas.
A writ of supersedeas would make the
temporary injunction imperative until
fnal adjudication OF the case. Should
the District Attorney fail to obtain a
superscdeas from Judge Pollock, he
will apply direct to tho United States
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-11-23
