WHAT PROMINENT MEN
THINK OF PROHIBITION

The following statements have
been made by men of prominence,
showing their stand in regard to the
prohibition amendment:
81 can see nothing but perman-
ency for the movement which has
wiped out the menace of the saloon.
Prohibition has proven itself an
economic benefaction in more ways
than one. Ben w. Olcott, governor
of Oregon.
"The liquor traffic was destructive
of much that was precious in Ameri-
can life. In the fact of so much evl-
dence on that point, what conscien-
tlous man would want to let his own
selfish desires influence him to vote
to bring 1t back? In another genera
tion, believe that liquor will have
disappeared from our memories. -

CONFEDERATE BILLS
CIRCULATED IN BERLIN
Several Prominent Merchants Have
Been victimized by Worthless
Paper

Berlin. Feb. 3.--Another issue OF
United States Confederate money, IN
$40 bills has been put on the market in
Germany, and several prominent
merchant have been victimized to the
in smaller amounts.
A few months ago the Confederate

was passed quietly round to nnsnspect-
ing shopkeepers and to even few VS.
iting Americans who displayed care
lessness in making change. AT that
time warning was issued by the
banks and the newspapers advised
readers to use discretion.
The latest known victim is a mer-
chant who sold bill Of goods for 5000
in cash and accepted the Confederate
currency. He appealed to the Ameri-
can association of commerce and trade
in Berlin.
The association, as result of these
raids on German marks and German
goods by the ConfeTedate money ven
doris, has issued a warning to its
clientele. declaring "the only way to
avoid such losses il to effect all pay
ments for goods through bank,
especially where foreign currency
comes into question"
German merchants recently also have
been accepting counterfeit German So
mark notes. many of which are still in
circulation although the police sue
ceeded in capturing the counterfeiters.
