Not An Appealing Argument

A federal grand jury at Milwaukee the other day urged amendment the volstead per- hitting the sale of beer light wines. This sug gestion thrown out a health measure It was stated that the moonshine and homebrews with which the people delugng their interiors were harmful and in many cases deadly; that the popu- lace were given access to comparatively harmless beverages they would imperil their lives by drinking these dangerous compounds
 There may be a better than that for modifying the rigors of the prohibition enforcement act; there cannot be a worse one-one less appeal ing to those who have sgnified their satisfaction with the Vostead act. People will consider that they have in their keeping the health or even the lives of those who these sacred possessions into the keeping of the bootlegger We might as well modify the dangers which attend the profession of burglary by forbidding househoders to keep revol- vers which might be fatally used against the mid night prowler.
 It is true that the drinking of "moonshine" is not a crime. It is not a crime to acquire it. Yet the cat is quasi criminal that it is accessory to and encourages crime against the prohibition law The only punishment that can be visited upon the accessory, the loss of his health or perhaps his life
 And we very much doubt whether the modified ton of the Volstead act would have the effect s,n posed by the Milwaukee grand jury Beer Of the fortificaon of that had in the old days or light wine would not meet the taste of the man who can consume white mule" or any of the other connections whose appeal to consumers is measured by the forcioleness of the kick" they administer
 Four per cent beer remember was held by many to be non-intoxcant and to some persons it probably was. But such persons seldom drank if except as they do soft drinks in these regenerate days The who drank beer for the nurnosa Of seif-iluminaton readily turned to stronger beverages and no doubt the fiery products of the hhcit stii suit them better the licensed bever ages with which they formerly inundated themselves

The Black Railing of Mir. Bryan

An organization calling itself Young Mems Democratic Club" in Denver the other dav .black Oailed' William J. Bryan for honorary membership In the club. At the same time Governor Cox and President Wilson were elected with cheers When Mr. Bryan's name proposed it was received with jeers.
 It should be stated that none of these eminent persons had made application for membership An phcation was made in their behalf by members nre sumably admirers, but it may be suspected that trs proposer of Mir. Bryan's only set up man of straw to be ingloriously knocked down.
 The action of the club will probably not alter me status of Mir Bryan with respect to the national oeinocrauc party. It will not constitute a definite reading out of him.

offended when the prodigal son
found fatherly forgiveness awaiting
his return and Jonah felt that he
would rather die than see Ninevites
going into the kingdom Of heaven
before or alongside Of Israelites.
Jonah got so sulky about the
change for the better in Nineveh
that he went away out to East End
park and made q little wikiup of
what green branches he could
gather, and camped there to see
how long Nineveh would last. But
his improvised shelter soon wilted
in the heat. And then God who had
prepared the storm, and the great
fish, both to endanger and to de-
liver Jonah, row prepared = vine
or plant to spring up in a night
like a mushroom growth to spread
it's shade above his withered booth.
Jonah was grateful to God for a
day for this miracle plant But the
next day God prepared worm to
girdle or bore into the stem OF the
green umbrella, and it in turn with
cred and died II a day. Then Jonah
was again angry about the brief
life of the gourd tree, and he bit
terly complained that fellow like
himself would be better OF dead
than alive. God suggested to him
that it was not becoming nor con-
sistent to sigh over the whiting OF
q plant, and to view without a pang
the prospect Of the overthrow Of a
populous city, like the destruction
Of Sodom and Gomorah.
Jonah seems to have remained to
the last Gods reluctant messenger.
Let US hope that something unre-
corded happened to bring him back
again to the hopeful attitude Of his
wonderful prayer and to the spirit
of willing service and cheerful
optimism.
