MOONSHINER SETS BEAR
TRAP FOR DRY AGENTS

N. L. Pearce, chief federal Prohibit
ton enforcement agent in charge OF
raiding moonshiners in Alabama, has
a captured bear trap in his office
which was set by moonshiner to
catch federal Prohibition agents.
The Birmingham Age-Herald says it
is the first trap of the kind captured
by the officers.
While raiding a still on farm
near Gadsden the big trap was found
by an officer and sent to Mr.. Pearce.
At the time it was found it was
primed and ready to spring aid was
placed in the path on the way to the
still. The officer said it was only
luck that caused him to run into the
chain at one end rather than into the

and is so strong that if mans foot
were caught in it it would be crushed
Several similar traps were found
following a search of farmhouse

SEEKS TO TEST DRY SHIP
LAW; BAR OPEN ON HURON

The American steamer Huron ar
rived in New York one day last week
and announcement was made that the
vessel had operated bar during her
cruise from Montevideo. This was
done with the knowledge that the
steamer was violating the Prohibi-
ton law and with the evident inten-
ton of testing the ruling which pro-
hibits ships flying the American flag
from carrying liquors for sale on
board.
The captain OF the Huron stated
the liquors were taken aboard at
South American port under orders
of the owner of the vessel in order to
meet the competition of foreign
liners. Although there were several
thousand bottles of liquor aboard
when the ship locked in New York,
the captain said the bar was closed
when the three-mile limit was
reached Reports of the incident
have been forwarded to Washington.

AUSTRALIAN STUDIES DRY U. S.
Prohibition Makes Great Progress
Under the Southern Cross, Vote
Shows

Mr.. Arthur ToomDes of Brisbane,
Australia, is spending several months
in America studying the effects OF
Prohibition and the methods Of or
ganization by which it has been
brought about.
Mr. Toombes gives the following
facts concerning the temperance sit
uation in Australia.
Queensland, one of the Australian
states, had its first opportunity to
vote on the Prohibition question
about a year ago and made a remark
able showing. polling 100000 votes
against the saloon The vets won
by the narrow margin of 10000 votes.
The capital of the state, Brisbane,
with a population of 100000, gave a
majority of 5000 for Prohibition
The temperance organizations OF
Australia are patterned largely after
the Ahti-Saloon League of America,
Several of their leaders visited this
country in 1910 and carried back
great inspiration for their work
1t is confidently expected, accord
ing to the statement of Mr. Toombes,
that New Zealand will swing into the
Prohibition column next year New
Zealand voted the last time on three
issues-license, state ownership and
Prohibition Prohibition had ma
jority of $4,000 over license but it is
necessary to get a majority of all
votes cast and this the temperance
forces failed to do by about 1000
votes.

SCRIPTURE IS QUOTED

Class of Society q

The Continent of recent date edi-
torially reviews the dry law enforce
ment situation and urges the teinper-
ance forces to resist the efforts of the
wet organizations to break down pub
lie sentiment. This effort OF the liq-
uor interests must be opposed by
mass meetings and every other sort
of legitimate propaganda" But there
is something more important than
this, in the opinion of the Continent.
This is to revive the moral indict-
ment against intoxicants.
That fierce and thunderous old
text about the woe due to the man
who putteth the bottle to his neigh
boris lips is needed once more in the
language and converse of Christian
men.
The very worst aspect OF the
present situation in regard to the
liquor question is the contemplate
smartness with which boastful per-
sons of supposedly high social stand
ing flaunt their disregard of Prohibit
ton and their delight in furnishing
friends with liquor.
"A cellar full of whisky and wine
has come to be in a certain class a
badge of aristocracy "a sign of

JOHN G. WOOLLEY RECEIVERS RAPIDLY FROM
SURGICAL OPERATION AT FARGO, N. OAK.
Renowned Temperance Orator Hopes Carry Out Committees
Original Plan for Testimonial Meeting at Pttsburg
Pennsylvania, Sabbath Evening June Fifth

The John g. Woolley testimonial
committee announce that letter has
been received from Mr.. Woolley
which states that the operation which
he underwent i'll Fargo, North Da-
kota hospital is successful and that
he is recuperating rapidly. He init
mates that it will be possible for him
to be i'll Pittsburg to speak at the
meeting on Sunday evening, June )
and thus carry out the original plans
of the committee.
1t is certain that Mr.. Woolley will
not be able to endure the strain oil
continuous platform work but it is
the belief that with the assistance
which this testimonial will mean to
him, he will be able to contribute in
some measure to the great reform to
which he has devoted his life service
of 80 years.
However, as stated above, it is
practically assured that he will be
present at the Pittsburg meeting
June 5 to receive the gift which the
committee asks may not be less than
$4,000. The committee gives out
the word that it is anxious to make
the cash part of the testimonial equal
to at least $1,000 for each year Of Mr..
Woolley's service, which would be
$4,000. This would be but slight
token of the peoples appreciation and
it would make the declining years of
Mr. Woolley's life free from care.

monial, said. 1T would be ma

London Visitors Views

A London visitor in New York
writes his impressions of the Ameri-
can metropolis under Prohibition.
He thinks the dry law has made the
city fiat and insipid, that the people
are not having a good time that
they ar too serious and too efficient,
and that the night life in New York
SIS almost ritualistic in the absence
OF beer" There is column of COM
plants which, when summed up is
that i'll the opinion OF the writer peo-
pie can not be happy and can not en-
JOY life unless they have booze on
every hand.
II this Londoner is typical of the
English people. we can understand
why, in spite of poverty, 'squalor,
drunkenness and inefficiency, and a
mountain-high debs, England goes on
spending more than two billions an
nually for drink, and thinks she is
having good time" by making a
drunken profligate OF herself
This London writer takes the wet
view of the liquor question. There
arc millions in England who do not
agree with him, and who know that
the United States exhibits great wis
dom in adopting Prohibition. Lon
don papers are asking their writer's
how it is possible for drunken Eng
land to successfully compete with So
Der and efficient America in CONNER
cial and industrial fields. These Lon
don editors know it is not possible.
England will have to adopt Prohibit
ton to prosper as she should. She is
now travelling the pace that kills, and
her thoughtful citizens realize it.

U. S. Supreme Court
Sustains Amendment
Seven Year Limitation Does Not In

On May 10 the u. S. Supreme
Court again upheld the Eighteenth
Amendment as valid part OF the
CONSTITUTIONS 1t declared that the re-
quirement that the amendment be
ratified within seven years does not
invalidate the entire measure.
The decision was given in the APP
peal of J. J. Dillon of San Francisco,
from decisions in lower courts refus-
ing his petition for a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that the limita-
tion made the amendment invalid.
Dillon was arrested while trans
porting case of wine to the home OF
its owner. His counsel asserted that
section 8 of the amendment, origin
ally proposed by Senator Harding,
placed limitation on the action OF
the state legislatures and was there
fore unconstitutional.
I'VE find that proposal and ratihca-
tion OF an amendment are treated as
succeeding acts in common en-
deavos," the opinion said, "and there
is fair implication that they should
be fairly contemporaneous."
In the course of the decision the

In Germany there is no appar-
ent hardship. The bread, it is
true, is not good but there seems

facture of this beverage.
Germany's plea OF poverty as a
reason why she ought not to pay the
full amount of reparations asked by
the allies, will not gain her much
sympathy from a large proportion oil
American citizens until she cuts out
her waste OF grain in the manufacture

Whisky 'Doped'
-
Kramer Declares
Home Brew Will Soon Wear Out Is
Chiefs Opinion

The following is from the Chicago
Tribune giving the report OF its
Washington correspondent:
Urging passage of the new Vol
stead law, tightening up the dry laws,
John F. Kramer, Prohibition Com
missioner, today told the House Ju-
dietary Committee that o5 per cent
OF the entire bootleg liquor supply OF
the country is nothing more than
doped or colored alcohol,
Effective control OF the supply oil
pure alcohol is one of the greatest
problems of Prohibition enforcement,
according to Mr.. Kramer. The lille
gal sale of bonded whisky of the
usual age has been virtually stopped,
but the bootleggers are taking labels
and stamps of the eProhibition
makes in order to sell colored alco-
hol at exorbitant prices, he said,
Kramer was firm in his opinion
that within a short time enforcement
of the Prohibition laws will be rigid
and effective He admitted that dur
ing the last year it did not come up
to expectations. but frankly stated
that the fault was with his admins
tration and not with the Nolstead law.
Home Brew to Wear Out"
I'VE made mistakes, but we are
learning from experience" he said.
"The output of home brew will be
greatly decreased within the next
year. In fact, it will wear out in that
time 1t is just novelty. There is
no menace in this practice. People
who want drink do not want to
spend month in making it"
Kramer declared that the need of
additional legislation was caused by
rulings OF Attorney-General Palmer
that beer could be prescribed as med
icine and that the Prohibition author
tiles have no power to limit the NUM-
Der OF liquor permits. Too many

the last year. the commissioner adj
mitted, but he asserted that thou
sands of these are now being can
celed
1--WE arc getting whisky pretty well
under control" he said, "but as we
do that more people turn to diverting
pure alcohol to beverage purposes.
After alcohol is once taken out on a
permit it is difficult to tell whether
it is used for medicine or bootleg
purposes. We issued thousands OF
permits to fellows who used them il
legitimately, but we are taking more
caution now. The revocation of per-
mits, however. is difficult task.
1.-THE bootleggers are now color
ing alcohol and then selling it as
bonded whisky by forging brands

UNIV. OF MICH. DEAN
HITS PALMER BEER

DIR. Victor {. Vaughan. dean
of the medical college of the
University of Michigan, dealt
severe blow to the proposal
to use beer as a medicine. In
answer to an inquiry from the
Michigan Anti-Saloon League
on the subject OF Mr.. Planners
beer ruling DIR. Vaughan said:
Beer contains no medical
property values whatever.
1t has some slight food
value but not nearly so
much as the grain which is
consumed in making beer.
If people drink beer for
its food effect they will be
wiser to eat the grain of
which beer is made. The
fact is, the beer is drunk
for its Intoxicating effect
and nothing else.
DR.. Vaughan gladly signed a
protest to be sent to Congress
against Mr.. Palmer's ruling.
