TIE. BAD CHECK LAW

While we agree in principle" with the article
on the bad check law reprinted from. the Kissim-
NEE Gazette, there are two or three things in that
connection that should not be overlooked The
present law is certainly deficient in teeth" but
ii is a good deal better than no law, And if bust
ness men generally would cooperate in its en-
forcement they could save good many dollars
for themselves.
Tie purpose Of bad check law is to protect
against the loss of money resulting from the accept
ance of worthless checks. If it makes the drawer
of thc check come in and settle, it accomplishes
that purpose just we'll as if it invariably sent him
to jail-perhaps better.
The present law puts it within the power of the
victim to punish the maker of the bad check Sc
-verey or recover his money. | would, therefore,
we think be wise if business men would accept the
law in that spirit and use it to the limit in protecting
their interests

VOL|vA CAN PROVE
WORLD Is FLAT Is
HIS latest CLAIM
(Ry Associated PreSS)


Chicago, Sept. 16-The story OF
"The Village that Voted the Earth
is Flat" has an earnest adherent IN
Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer OF
Zion, the religious community that
Alexander Dowie founded at Zion
City, little north of Chicago.
Declaring that there is no proof
whatsoever of the sphericity of the
earth or that the earth has any mo-
ton, Overser Voliva says he is pre-
pared to refute modern astronomy,
scientifically as well as from the
standpoint of the Bible
Here are some of the points he adj
vances:
"All standing water is level. Let
any one disprove it if he can. They
cannot disprove it. This is conclu-
sive evidence that the old Pythago-
'rean-Copernican system of the sphe-
richly of the earth is false.
"a man stood at Kingston, Jamai-
ca, and saw the lighthouse at Hava-
ma Earbor eighty-two miles distant,
which is another conclusive proof
that the sphericity of the earth is a
fake.
"The midnight sun has been seen
hundreds of times, but it would be
absolutely impossible to see it on a
sphere. You would have to look
