Arrested on a Liquor Charge.

Wednesday night, of last week
Marshal Braden noticed a Ford tour
ing car which bore no license num-
bers parked in the rear of the Inn
building. Some time previous val
liable overcoat had been stolen from
a car Eear the Inn and the Marshal
concluded to investigate. On open
ing the side curtains there was found
in the back part Of the car half gal
lon jug and quart bottle of what
appeared to be mighty good article
OF moonshine whisky. He replaced
the whisky and watched to see who
would 60 10 the car. Soon three
young colored men appeared and
were placed under arrest by the
Marshal. Two of them lived in But
Ter and the other who gave his name
as w. R. Burton, and his home at
Appleton City. said that he "owned
the car and everything in it" but in
sisted that he knew nothing of the
whisky. The two Butler boys were
released as there was no evidence to
connect them with ownership of the
booze. An Appleton City banker ar
ranged temporary bond for Burton
by telephone and he was also turned
loose. Thursday he came back to
Butler with his bondsman and he
was formally placed under $500
bond for his appearance for prelim-
mary examination Thursday. The
evidence seems to be conclusive
against him and it is probable that
he will pay dearly. for this breach
of the liquor laws.

THE CHURCH, THE TURK AND
THE STATUS QUO
BY Alison Baker

Inasmuch as We did IL not to one
Of the least Of these ye did II not

BY Church ] mean the groups of
people Of all sects who profess to
believe in and follow the teachings
Of Jesus Of Nazareth. The greatest
group Of Christian nations is the
British Empire, the United States of
America, France and Italy.
II so happens that these four ma
tons are very much interested just
now in preserving what is called the
status quo. Sometimes when a group
Of nations becomes anxious to pre-
serve the status quo, it is because
each member of the group has stolen
all that it can steal, and is willing
to let all the others keep their stolen
goods. Then because they are afraid
Of each other, they agree not to
fight and thereby the various evil
forces Of hell come to a dead lock
and are imperative for awhile. This
dead lock Is called preserving the
status quo.
] said that the greatest group of
Christian nations is made up of the
British Empire, the United States Of
America, France and Italy. But
possibly the oldest Of all the Chris
tian nations is Armenia. The Arme-
mans are devout Christians, but
they do not happen to be Catholics,
Presbyterians, Baptists or Metho-
dists. They are so firm in their
faith that for centuries they have
been dying because Of their religion.
But they were not good enough to
be allowed membership in the League
Of Nations, Of which Great Britain,
France and Italy are such important
members. Some Of the Armenisns
possess valuable property. The Ar.
menian women are desirable. But
Armenia as q nation is too small to
disturb the status quo.
