known to be engaged in selling
liquor and offered him a truckload
for s1g25.
The doctor was to go to the out,
skirts of the city to get the load
and assume the risk of getting 1t into
town. The gangster said he was
selling II SO cheaply. because he
knew he was being watched ana
could not get into the city with the
load.
The physician agreed, went to the
point designated, the whiskey was
turned over and the money paid.
Before the doctor could get away,
however, the revenue man appeared
and confiscated the cargo. He did
not arrest the doctor, but carried
away the merchant who had sold the
whiskey.
The doctor became suspicious pc
cause he was now arrested ana De-
gan to make inquiries. No report OF
the confiscation had been made ana
he soon learned the man had not
been in the employ of the Federal
Government for several months. He
laid his case before the prosecutor

The whiskey machines, instead OF

tribute to our country and Its flag.
Declaring in the beginning that
America was the greatest country
in the world he proved his state
ment by showing how it was a
government of the people and not
ruled by kings and dynasties.
The theory of the old world
before the American revolution
was that the king was master and
the people were his servants. AS
the years went on the people be-
came more intelligent and resent
ed authority crossed the ocean to
gain their freedom. They establish
ed a government here unique in
the history of the world. They
were imbued with the writings of
Voltairc and Rousseau and from
those writings evolved the de-
clalation of independence and our
constitution.
The speaker declared that Ma
poleon Bonaparte was the greatest
military and civil leader that ever
lived; that when he became mas
ter of France he destroyed all the
elements Of the feudal system. If
left alone and not hamperd by for
eign intrigues he would have made
France the most glorious country
in the world.
Europe today is composed of
many Independent states ready to
fight each other and their borders
guarded by armed troops. Here
there are 4S states and a govern
ment so nicely balanced that we
hardly know when we go from one
state to another The speaker paid
tribute to the country at the
north of us-"Our Lady of the
Snows"-speaking Of the unarm-
ed international boundary as indie
ative of the friendship that had
existed all through the years be-
tween the two great nations.
The speaker then cited George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln
as Americas two great examples
leaders-both unselfiSh, both al
truistic and both nearer to the
ideals of the meek and lowly MAJ
arene than any other men. He also
paid a fitting tribute to John Paul
Jones whose consumate bravery in
action he said exceeded that of
any other man.
In closing he urged all Elks to
honor and venerate the greatest
flag in the world and to ever prac-
tice the principles of the order
