ICE CREAM WITH A KICK, :

The peach Melaba, says the Kan
SaS City Star, is to be hailed before
the federal court. There, in that
solemn tribunal, the ice cream con-
lection, as served in at least one
tea room must brave the displeas-
ure OF the government ancnt lhe
prohibition law.
For the United States government
desires to establish for certain
whether it knows the real reason
why the concoction as served at the
Emery-Bird-Thayc tea room has
been so popular.
ProhiDltion agents stealihily went
to investigate. When i'm Rome they
did as Rome did. They ordered
peach Melbas. The connection was
delicious. That red sauce, aug
menting the flavor, almost was di-
vine. But why?
. A sample Of the sauce was taken
to a government chemist. The GOV
ernment sadly reports the sauce
was found to contain is 10 per
cent alcohol.
William Mathis, manager of the
tea room, and Reuben Hadnot. an
employe, were arrested. They were
charged with illegal possession of
alcohol. Five bottles of the red
sauce were conliScated.
Officials Of the Emcry-Bird-Thay
er Company said that they had
been serving peach -Mclbas-and
the red sauce-for twenty years.
ihey denied any knowledge of the
Illegal alcoholic content of the
sauce. 1t was purchased already
prepared from an Eastern concern,
they said.
Mathis and IIadnol were ar
ralgned before Harry l.. Arnol, L..

nary hearing and were held under
bond of $4,000 each for the No.

VOLUME 54
PERTAINING TO OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
~, me Citizens of LeWiSburg and

~ 5he Citizens of LeWisburg and
Coniinuniiy:--
Having spent the past ten years
,s q, student in the I.ewisburg Pub
Il; H. school and being greatly inter-
nStpd i'm the welfare of that inSti-
,ntion, il is not altogether uniting
,h.t | should endeavor 10 say my.
h;i in trying to secure better ac-
onnodationS in that school for the
Children of tho community. &
More room, better equipment. q
larger corps Of teachers, and liber-
~ Support from the patrons. would
make our public school one of the
hest. if not the best school in the
county, but sad to say nearly all
thr above named essentials of a
"ood school are lacking, and most
of all support from the patrons is
lacking.
There is Il reason for this lack
of support. :.
In This town and community
there are, in regard to the public
school. three factions of citizens:
Those who favor and support il,
those who oppose it, and those who
are Indifferent: Those who support
the public school are O. X. But
why are any opposed to it? There
are Two reasons for their opposi-
pay taxes sufficient to support the
school property, and the other
reason is that they patronize some
other school, which is of course
their choice and right, but don't
YOU think that the shool that is sup
ported by the public and is the very
foundation of civilization should
receive first consideration and sup
port whether you patroniZe it or
not? Certainly it should, and every
loyal citizen should make ii his duty
to do so.
Now let us consider the question
of taxes. Taxes are high, that's ad-
miilcd, but isn't that a small con-
>idcration compared to the benefits
OF Il good education for the grow
ing generation?
You supported the cry for good
roads that you might be lifted out
Of The mud, why do-you hesitate to
support your school system and
place the nation on higher plane
of civilization? You supported the
late war without reserve, that the
world might be a better place to
live in, now will you thwart the
oDlecl OF that war by denying YOUR
children proper education?
But what about that Indifferent
faction? What causes their attitude
After talking with a number of
them on the subject, | concluded
that their attitude was due to lack
of knowledge of the school and its
conditions. In fact what they knew
about the school would hardly pro-
vide ample reading for the first
page of primer. And yet they are
considered good and loyal citizens.
One said: 1--WE can't do anything,
its up. to the Board of Education"
That is a great mistake. A public
Official is little more than a public
servant. and, according to the true
principles of democracy it is his
duty to do the will of the public.
Yours is the right and duty of the
initiative.
Citizens of the community, wake
up! Don't you realize that further
delay in bettering your school con-
dltions will be detrimental to the
morale of your home and destruc-
ton 10 your children's education?
Talk this over with your neigh
6iorS. they will favor it, then get be-
hind the Board of Education and
POT THIS THING THROUGH.

DEMOCRATS POINT WITH PRIDE.

The Democratic national committee
at its ssneeting in, Washington, pointed
with pride to the achievements OF the
party during the past few years. q
practice which is followed by all party
committees, and 1t also followed the
Universal custom in viewing with dis
appreciation and alarm everything
that has been done by the other party.
Among the achievements placed to the
credit of the Democratic party are
the creation Of the federal reserve
banking system, popular election Of
United States senators. and woman
suffrage.
1t viii surprise a good many peo-
pie to learn that the Democratic par
ty Is responsible for these changes.
Possibly the party was not aware
while these great works were in pro-
gress that twas responsible for them,
because 1t would be next to impossible
to point out any particulars relating
to any of these subjects on which
there was any difference OF opinion
.or action which could in any way be
interpreted as q, party difference.
Every one Of the laws mentioned
above was supported by the represent
atives Of both parties, and opposed in
tho same manper. The federal re-
serve system had its origin long be-
fore the first Wilson administration,
while Republicans. were in control of
the presidency and both branches of
congress. The present law is based
v~estigations conducted by the none
tary commission created during Taft's
presidency, and in the final shaping
OF that law congressman of both par
ties had their share. . Z
Senators were being elected by
popular vote in a dozen Republican
states, to the extent that that could
be done at that time, long before the
constitutional amendment was adopt
ed. The farm loan act i- full of de-
fects for which one party is probably
as responsible as the other. And in
the matter of woman suffrage, very
many people in the northern states
hesitated a long time on that subject
because they were reluctant to impose
an unwelcome institution on their
southern white fellow citizens, most
of whom happen to be Democrats.
Nevertheless, a party committee
must point with pride, and the Dem
ocratic committee is merely following
the traditions. a' ~
