CATHOLIC CHURCH NOT
FOR WINE AND BEER
Correction is Made of Reports Circu-
lated Through State by Liquor
interests

Lansing, March 25.-Reports, said
to have been circulated by emissaries
of the liquor interests, which attempt
to convey the impression that the
Catholic church in Michigan is giving
its support to the wine and beer
amendment, have been branded as
falsehood by clergy of the Roman de-
nomination.
"The Catholic church is not giving
it's support to the wine and beer
amendment" declared a representa-
tive of the denomination, who prefer
red that his name be withheld. in
fact it is taking no part whatsoever
in the campaign. There is no truth
in reports which would have the pub
lie believe otherwise" =.
1t was found before the denial was
issued that liquor interests promoting
the wine and beer amendment were
endeavoring in many sections OF the
state to secure support for their meas
ure by capitalizing religious preJu
dices.

MAKE FARMER GOAT
IN WET AMENDMENT
Wine and Beer Measure would ne
ouire Makers of Cider to Procure
License

Complications are foreseen for the
Michigan farmer who has maze d
practice of pressing his apples into
cider if the wine and beer amendment
is accepted at the polls in April. Az
tornevs who have been inspecting the
proposed amendment in the hope OF
finding "a nigger in the woodpile de
clared they have located the Etheo-
Man in the form of clause IN tne
amendment which would make
it necessary for the farmer, IL the
wine and beer amendment is approx
cd to obtain a license if he would
manufacture cider. =,
"Although nicely covered with yeri-
b;aoe an examination reveals an ap-
narent attempt of the vets to get even
with the farmer for his heavy dry vote
of two wears ago." asserts Attorney
Walter S. Foster, "for the passing OF
the beer and wine amendment wotid
he of great financial advantage to the
brewers as curtailing competition WITH
cider as beverage.
"By natural processes, clder sooii
becomes a fermented beverage within
the legal meaning. The supreme
court long ago laid down the rule tha'
il need not be intoxicating to be Ter
mented. Everybody knows that cioei
turns into vinegar by fermentation.
"The proposed wine and beer ameno
ment saws the legislature shall license
tbe manufacture and license and reg
ulate the sale of fermented liquors
Hence every person who makes eide
in the least fermented, and especiali!
if extensive fermentation is permitted
for vinegar purposes, even for hom
use. will be required to obtain a IL
cense, and probably give bond. Com
pliance would have to be made also Il
all probability, with rules laid dow
by the legislature for the sale OF eide
and vinegar"

500. 900 WOMEN WILL
CAST FIRST VOTES
IN APRIL ELECTION

z,-I,ansing, Mich, March 25.-Conser-
yative estimators who have been
watching the women of Michigan
flock to the registration booths, are
predicting that the fair folk of the
state will march to the polls 100000
strong on April to cast their first
votes.
Since the right of franchise was ex-
tended to the women of Michigan last
November, the Michigan Anti-Saloon
League has been most active in marsh
alling the feminine forces of the state
for the April election. According to
this organization, which has been con-
ducting campaign to defeat the pro-
posed wine and beer amendment, and
keeping a close check upon registra-
ton, fully rs per cent Of the women OF
Michigan have already registered.
If this estimate of the drys, which
it is generally admitted is based upor
reliable information, is at all exact, II
means that at least half million
women will attend the polls. In the
1916 presidential election, the tota
masculine vote cast was 646,873. Tht
! number of qualified feminine electors
is believed to be about equal to th'
masculine, so that the estimate o
100000 is considered to be conserva
! tive

HOW BOUT 1T?
PAID FOR PULCHRITUDE

How about this: Discharged sol
diers receive bonus of $50 and girls
retained in Government service receive
a bonus of $240 with big increase
in salaries. Does the government owe
these girls more than it does the men
who faced death in France? AS one
soldier says: Washington keeps its
girls and the soldier keeps his uniform
because he cannot buy suit" Such a
condition should be remedied at the
next session of Congress. Bills have
already been prepared to give
the men years pay, and other ad-
vantages. If the government can
afford a $240 bonus for its girl war
workers it can afford substantial
bonus for the men who won the war.
Think it over!

and was only tolerated by the news
paper men because no one, much less
the scribes of the country, wanted to
start trouble when all efforts were

ments about the Irish question which,
if he were able to exert any influence
might prove embarrassing. to Mr.. Will

about the same sort of interest and
