Solomon explained carefully to Heinrich
that he must not draw the money, it was
only given to him with letter of in
PRODUCTION, that he might have a certain
financial standing.
Nephew Heinrich spent every penny
of it promptly. His explanation to
Solomon was:
"My dear uncle, did you really expect
not to have to pay for the honor Of bear
ing my name?"
The worthy son of Solomon, when the
latter was dead, showed his gratitude
to the poet who had made immortal the
vulgar name Of vulgar banker, by
cutting off Heine's pitful allowance,
leaving him to die in poverty.
This makes you regret that the Jew
ish religion does not provide for Uncle
Salomorl's son some eternal hell of fire
and birthstone in which he might now
be sitting, regretting his bad taste and
ingratitude. The Christian religion is
more thorough in that respect.
Heine, like all other great writers,
made his meaning clear by well-chosen
philosophy, with it's lego" and all the
rest of it, Heine wrote in one of his
philosophical essays:
"Fichte requires the mind to observe
itself while in activity. Thought shall
listen to itself while it is thinking, even
while it is getting warmer and warmer,
and at last becomes a thought. This
reminds us Of the ape who sits by the
fireplace and cooks his own tail, assert
ing that the true science of cookery, con-
sists not only in objective cookery, but
also in being subjectively conscious of
being cooked"
At any public library, any we'll
equipped book store, you will find all
that Heine has written. Read "The
White Elephant" pure wit. Many have
borrowed from it.
Jewish young gentlemen must be sure
to read "The Rabbi Won Bacharach." 1t
will stimulate, in Heine fashion, their
racial pride, not always necessary, but
always a good thing.
Of death, Heine said in twenty words
more than many have said in volume:
dying, indeed, is something to shud-
der at, but not death; if, indeed, death
exists. Death is, perhaps, the last super
stition."
The unhappy poets. last period was
made bearable, as often happens to sick,
worn-out men, by the kindness and de-
votion of womankind.

at the university. She had spent her
youth reading books in Latin to her
father and, according to her son, "had
a horror of Imagination, despised ro-
mantle legends and superstitious folk
lore" But she gave her boy a chance
to develop what was in him.
Read Heine's "Reisebilder." Read
"Bimini." and read "The Viewers"
Read here his "Fragen, Questions:
"By the sea, the dreary nocturnal sea,
Standeth Stripping,
His breast full of sorrow, his head full
of doubt,
And with gloomy lips he asks OF the
waters:

That narrowing world-old riddle,
Wherein many heads have pondered
and brooded;
Heads in caps Observation-Disclosures,
Heads in turbans, and heads in black
Heads periwigged, and thousand others,
Poor aching human heads
Tell me what signifies man!
Whence has he come? And whittier

Who dwells up in the golden stars?"
"The waves they murmur their endless
babble;
The wind it blows, and the clouds they
wander,
The stars they glitter coldly Indifferent
And fool waits for an answer"

Seven National Organizations
Denounce Government Own
ership of Roads.

Washington. Jan. 50-There is
nothing fundamentally wrong with
the government of the United States
and there is no need of change in
existing social standards and eco
nomic laws, representatives of sew
en- national farm organizations de-
clared in a memorial adopted at a
conference here and presented to
congress.
The organizations subscribing to
the memorial are the International
Farm Congress, National Farmers
Congress, National Grange, Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, Ma
tional Farmers Union, American
Cotton Growers association, and
National Federation of Milk Pro-
ducers.
The memorial declares the farm
ers are emphatically opposed to gov
ernment ownership, and operation
of railroads, and congress is called
on to expedite the enactment of
legislation providing for the return
of the roads to private ownership
with as few restrictions as are nee
essary to protect the public inter-
est.
The memorial denounces govern
ment price-fixing as an interference
with the law of supply and demand.
Profiteering is condemned, and the
practice of indiscriminate striking
for trivial causes. Opposition to
compulsory military training is
voiced. and right of farmers in
collective bargaining as embodied

Gated -.

LEGALLY SOLD
IN DRUG STORES
Strict Federal Supervision
Will Be Maintained Over
Trade, Says Director
Hanley. t..

The manufacture aud sale of
whisky soon is to be resumed in
Omaha and Nebraska, according to
James Fl. Hanley. state director for
national prohibition enforcement,
who just has returned from Wash
ington where he was in consultation
with the heads of the department
for three days.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Hanley
that Intoxicating liquor will be le-
gally sold in every state of the
union within few days. There will
be no saloons, however; the state
director declared. While distiller-
les may be allowed to make whisky
again. liquor will be retailed only
by druggists under strict federal
supervision, it was said and it will
be disposed of exclusively for medi-
cinal purposes and in Limited guam
titles.
Mr.. Hanley has received specific
instructions from the authorities in
Washington, and expects to be es-
iablished today in his headquarters
on the second floor of the fed
cr:.i building. The state prohibi-
ton director has been provided. with
his Office equipment, including
iorrns for reports, licenses and per-
nits. He will begin his duties with
two men working as inspectors un-
Ter him. Later he expects to have
nine field agents, who will devote
their efforts to enforcing the prohi-
bition law throughout the entire
state.
On Prescription Only.
Druggists will Re allowed to dis
pose of whisky only upon ply
sicians' prescriptions. The drug
gists will be required first to obtain
federal license to sell liquor and
physicians also will be required to
procure federal license to write
liquor prescriptions, declared Mr..
Hanley. Applications for such IL
censes will be made at the Office of
the state prohibition director, who
will issue them to any reputable
druggist and physician, he as
serted.
Mr.. Hanley declared the name of
the person for whom whisky is pre-
scribed will appear on the prescrip-
ton. His inspectors, he said, would
be charged with the duty of keeping
in close touch with the physicians
and druggists who are permitted to
prescribe and sell whisky. The drug
gists will be required to keep a per-
manent record showing the amount
of liquor received and disposed Of,
he said.
Z Downfall Of Bootlegger.
Every single drop will be &C
counted for" Mr.. Hanley declared.
"The first thing we are going to do
is to 60 after the moonshiners and
bootleggers with ungloved hands"
continued the director. "The law is
SO drastic that these fellows cannot
afford to be. prosecuted more than
once, If they are caught the second
time, the penalty is so severe it will
put him out of commission"
Mr.. Hanley is of the opinion that
the new plan to dispose of whisky
will have tendency to rout the
bootleggers. I'm the first place." he
declared, "the price of liquor will
be reasonable, which will prevent
the sky high prices now being asked
by the illegal peddlers. Then when
the. decent element realize they can
obtain liquor legally, they will
frown on the bootlegger. It will
be to the interest of the druggists
and physicians to cooperate with
my department in stamping out the

CLIFFORD R. HENDRIX SUED
 BY ACTRESS ON WEDDING EVE

There was Norwich interest Friday in the following story in New York papers, since Clifford Rathbone Hendrix is the only child of the late Mary Alice Rath- bone Hendrix. The young mans parents were married at the Rathbone homestead at East Great Plain by the late Rev Dr. Edward Griffin Selden, native of Nor wich, then pastor at Springfield, Mass.
 Clifford R. Hendrix, a wealthy menl- Der of the New York Stock Exchange, who is to be married tonight to Miss Eu- genie M Terry, daughter of Major John M. Terry of 300 Central Park West, was sued in the supreme court yesterday for s10o,000 damages for alleged breach of promise by Maud L.

 The summons in the case was filed some days ago after it had been, served on MT. Hendrix at 20 Wall street, but the plaintiffs attorneys declined to dis cuss the action then. On the eve of MT. Hendrix's wedding they make known the allegations in the case.
 Miss Ceballos alleges that Mir Hendrix promised, on Aug. 10 last at Larchmont to marry her She gave up her thea trical career in reliance on his promises she said, and has since been supported wholly or in great measure by him" She said he asked her aid in selecting a site for a home on Quaker Ridge.

 MT. Hendrix, who lives at If East Eff ty-sixth street, declined last night to dis
 cuss the charges against him, but con. 1 corning his marriage he said:
 | My marriage tonight will be held a. l originally planned. This suit is lil, l many others that are brought prior to | mans marriage, which are usually si 1 fenced by settlement. 1 could have set 1 tied this case, but I declined to do so Miss Terry has known of it all along and it is with her full knowledge and ap proval that I have refused to settle" l MT. Hendrix said that the details o l the wedding had not been entirely fixed but stated that relatives and intimat l friends would attend. He is son of tn late Joseph Hendrix, at one time post | master of Brooklyn, who left a forum
 to him. He is S8 years old, a gradual of Princeton, and a member of the Ney
