own one for parade purposes, for
use at indoor meetings and at the
summer camps. The children and
sons of the Republic committee
sent a letter of appeal to each of
the fifty-two local D. A. r. chap
tiers. Favorable responses are COM
ing in as the various chapters meet.

flag by each regent to each Boy
Scout troop, respectively, are being
planned to take place on the south

vidual donations will be received
and flags purchased by the COM
mittee. Individual D. A. r. mem
bers may contribute the price of a

ton size to be presented. The fol-

TO take the matter under Amusement at an early

The people of the county are doubtless more
than willing that such a project should be

pride to desire proper housing for their business

city built its permanent home on South Center

erature coming into the country. There are
several reasons why. First and most import
ant is, the department will not permit of its
Importation. Second, We can make our own
cider and in the old days most of the American
came from the apple orchards of
New York state. We discovered long ago how
to make cider and what to do with it. Third,
our American farmers can make a cider such
as the French never dreamed of, strong enough,
as they themselves will admit, "to hold up a
grindstone." Fourth, our farmers can have
two hundred gallons of it a year, in fact all they
want of it and no questions asked. To be sure
benzoate of soda to be added, but who would
ruin perfectly good cider, and more especially
when there is no one to see that the farmer puts
it in? Our farmers are perfectly content with
the Volstead act. Why shouldn't they be?
Two hundred gallons of perfectly fine kicking
cider, and then as much more as they desire
from fruit juices. They get theirs" and can
afford to be hostile to the legalization of French
elders.
The American farmer, if he does have a little
grief in other respects, is fixed up all right so
far as cider is concerned. He don't have to
bootleg, or homebrew, or moonshine.
And then you know cider is regarded as a
very healthful beverage. Old timers will recall
John Adams, once president of the United States.
John used to lay up from eight to ten barrels of
it every year. Most of his life he was accus-
TONED to drinking a tall tankard of it every
morning before breakfast. This and the same
amount during the evening before retiring,
along with the doughnuts, is what caused his
premature death at the age of ninety-one. For
get all the other beverages and cultivate the
cider habit.

Why We Have Crime

The American Bar Association must have a
proportion of members with ordinary intelli-
gence, yet it's survey of crime conditions is
merely a recital of conditions proving the in
efficiency of the law as administered under our
ridiculous codes of procedure. "The apathy
and Indifference of the American people" Is
simply their recognition of the fact that they are
helpless in the existing conditions.
Lawyers make the laws and lawyers admin
lister them. The more complicated and indef-
initely they are drawn, the greater the oppor-
tunity for business for the lawyers. The rem
edy lies with the Bar Association, to simplify
the laws. Clarity the ~verbiage and circumlo-
cution that at present characterize them. Bring
a common sense Interpretation founded on com,
mon Justice instead of the technicalities which
at present result only in contempt for all law,
as now administered. The present system of
delays, new trials and all the petty tricks of
criminal lawyers, emboldens the criminal, as
giving him almost certainty of evading punish
ment. Witnesses of a crime cannot be certain
of their recollection of all the incidents con-
nected with it, after months or years have clap
sed, and this is the factor upon which the Grim.
inal lawyers base their chances of success.
Make trial of a major crime follow closely
upon its perpetration, and the result of that
trial conclusive once for all, and such crimes
will show quick reduction in frequency.

What's The Matter With Ciderl

Our friend the French cider maker is at
tempting to cultivate our acquaintance. He
wants to get his product in some legal sort of
way through the internal revenue department.
The French wine merchant is ruled out with
his goods by reason of the eighteenth amend
ment and acts supplementary thereto.
Cider is something different. And IL is
said that French cider makers have through
study and experiment perfected an article but
little inferior to the best dry champagne ever
made along the Moselle. The alcoholic content
is as low as two and a half per cent and from
that point upward. There is a huge quantity
already in storage ready for shipment to this
paradise of bootleggers as soon as the barrier
is raised by the government authorities. They
also have on the other side n pear cider that
rivals champagne in all other qualities not
emitting the well known kick. This is also
knocking at the door of the Internal Revenue
department.
1t is nothing but a mirage our French friends
are seeing and the burning tongues of the bias

Honest Friendship-No
Entanglements

The genius of our institutions, the needs of
our people in their home life, and the attention
which is demanded for the settlement and devel-
opment of the resources of our vast territory,
dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any depart
ure from that foreign policy commended by his
tory the traditions and the prosperity of our re-
public. 1t is the policy of independence, favored
by our position and defended by our known love
of justice and by our own power. 1t is the policy
of peace suitable to our interests. 1t is the policy
of neutrality, rejecting any share in foreign
broils and ambitions upon other continents and
repelling their intrusion here. 1t is the policy of

Unequal Taxation

Thirty-six states are now imposing a consump-
ton tax on gasoline or will be doing so by the
end of this year. Various states which are now
levying such n tax, ranging from one to three
cents a gallon, expect to increase their revenues
by $1 ,607 $50 during the current year.
Special taxes such as this are easy ways to
raise money, but they represent class taxation,
not equal taxation.
When gasoline is taxed all the consumer can
stand, the same method will be applied TO some
other commodity. The fact that it can be done,
not make the principle right.
