FAULTY WARRANT NOT BAR
cause Wrong Form Used In
! Making Seizure

Libel proceedings instituted against
the E. Robinson brewing plant of the
Central Pennsylvania Brewing Company
will stand despite the fact that the search
warrant under which the seizure was
made was not IN proper form, says a
Scranton, Pa, dispatch in the Phladel-
phia North American.
In an opinion rendered August q by
Judge c. D. Whitmer in United States
court the search warrant is set aside but
court directs that libel proceedings
started with a view of conhscating and
destroying all beer making machinery
and ingredients of the Robinson plant
shall stand so far as the charge relating
to violation of the national prohibition
law is concerned, but the court held that
the proceedings must be sustained by the
government on this charge alone and not
on the second charge which alleged vio-
lations of the internal revenue law.
The court gave the defendant thirty
days in which to make answer to the
count which charges violation of the ma
tional prohibition law. In the meantime
the plant is being held under government
guard.

CERMANY'S TEMPLARS MEET
Urge Drinking in Academic Circles
Be Stopped; Pledge Local
Option

Four hundred men from all parts of
Germany, with others from Denmark,
the occupied territories of the Rhine,
Czecho-Slovakia and the Palatinate at
tended the recent session OF the German
grand lodge of Good Templars, writes
DR.. F. II. Goesch, editor of Newland, at
Hamburg.
The reports showed a recovering of
the order from its slump due to the war.
There are $1,000 members, besides 1000
young members between the ages OF II
and II, and 5000 Juvenile members
The grand lodge spoke out against
drinking in academic circles, and issued
an appeal to them to discontinue such
customs. Local option was demanded
as legislative step. Protest was voiced
against liquor advertisements displayed
throughout the country. 1t was demand
ed that instruction regarding the evils of
alcoholism be given in the public
schools.
An especially energetic protest was
made against the participation by Ger
mans in smuggling liquor into friendly
northern European countries and into
the United States.

TWO BALLOTS
(Contributed)

Along in November when chill the weather,
Two ballots cast in POLLOK together,
They nestled up close like brother to brother
You couldn't tell of the votes from the other:
They were both votes for pure,
And sanctioned the license plan,
The one cast by jolly old brewer,
The other by church going man.
The church-gong man, could be truer,
Kept busy all summer denouncing the brewer,
But his fever cooled off with change in the weather
And later in autumn they voted together.
The churct-going had always been noted,
For fighting the saloons except when he voted,
He piled up his prayers with holy perfection,
Then knocked them all down on the day of election
The foxy old brewer cheerful and mellow,
Said he,-"I admire that church going fellow
He's true to his church, to his party he's truer,
He talks for the Lord, but votes for the brewer

mitted by high license saloons. We
preached to more people in Jail than we
had in church. Coming into that town
one Saturday night, the cars were full of
drunken men shooting and fighting. The
women and children were locked up in
the rear car. No one was arrested, be-
cause there were SO many, the officers
couldn't cope with them. We could not
hold night services in the county churches
for drunkenness. A friend said he heard
forty-eight murder cases tried in that
court house and drink caused every muir
der. Forty-eight women were widows and
one hundred and forty-four children or
phaned by the high licensed, regulated
saloon. We don't know where you have
been, brother, but we could fill the paper
and issue a supplement on what we saw
under the old system. This county is out
of debt under prohibition and the Jail at
last count had only twelve in it, and they
were bootleggers.
He adds further on, 'Tn the old days,
the swinging doors opened inward to ad-
nit the voluntary customers. The worst
dive keeper never went after his victims.
Today the bootlegger carries his wares
to the house" Look at this, will you?
The doors opened to welcome the vo1un-
tary customer driven there by an uncon-
trollable passion. The state authorized
the saloon to feed this passion and en-
rich its till while the poor victims family
lacked for food and clothes. Then what
happened? Did the door close on that
voluntary customer and protect his fam
lily from his drunken presence? Nay,
verify, that owner kicked him out and
sent him home to turn his home into an
earthly hell by abusing wife and helpless
children.
Does this propaganda think we are
fools enough to believe drinking under
prohibition has more demoralizing eff
feet on children than drinking under IL
cense? Didn't the children see it then?
Didn't they suffer from it? Didn't the
wife dread to hear the stumbling foot
fall of her drunken husband coming
homer Didn't men bring liquor home in
jugs and bottles and buckets and turn
the homes into torment for weeks and
the law left them undisturbed? Brother,
what kind of saloons did they have where

benevolent deacons, who loved children
and protected homes?
AS pastor, the writer spent many
days looking after many families who
were victims of drink in the old days.
Men were out of work, were sick, in
prison, homes suffering. He tried to be
a brother to all of these. Since prohibi-
ton, he has had only four such cases to
deal with. He has travelled over twenty
thousand miles in the last twelve months
and has seen only six drunken men. He
saw ten times this every Saturday night
on Hull street sixteen years ago. He
heard the meanest looking man he ever
saw say out in Arizona, he was going to
Mexico, where liquor was easier to get,
for this country wasn't worth a-what
you may call it-since it went dry. You
fellow up there in Washington, what
kind of Mutt do you take us to be to
put that stuff off on us?
And you say the bootlegger is worse
than the saloonkeeper, for he invades the
home. Then in the name of common
sense, go after this law-breaking high
wayman, who over-rides the Consttu-
ton, disgraces the home and does such
damage. Put him in the penitentiary
like the North Carolina judge did, 1t is
the lawbreaker who should be con-
demned and not the law.
There are more than fourteen cases of
robbery and assault in the weeks news.
Will you ridicule these laws and hold
them responsible, or will you dive with
their violators?
And then, listen, o Patriotic Ameri-
cans, "None of the foregoing is, of course,
meant as a defense of the saloon" Sir?
Will you please repeat that sentence? We
fear we did not hear correctly. Then
what is it all about2 Why use so much
good paper and ink and stamps to send
this out? There is nothing good you can
say about the old saloon. We have not
yet found man, who will openly admit
he wants to see it return. But what are
you after9 If we repeal prohibition, what
will we have? Just annu1 all laws and
make the bootleggers and bar-keepers on
par with grocers and milk men? What is
this all about, anyhow? What are these
propagandists after? Who are back of

COUNTY FAIRS ARE DRY

At the opening of the county fair
season in Pennsylvania, district attorneys
and local peace officers were notified by
Secretary of Agriculture Willis that
they would be held responsible for law
enforcement, and that nothing against
the law would be tolerated on any fair
grounds.

Neither is it a South American monster
of prehistoric men, and we do not for
moment want any one to mix it with that
great order of travelling men known as
the I. p. AS. We have just received a

name is National Association Against

letin is headed, Effect of Prohibition
Upon Children, Women and Girls"
1t is wonderful document and when
its contents are noted one wonders at the
fools some propagandists take us to be.
You folks who have good sense listen to
the pathetic pleas of this man who must
think you good food for squirrel supper:
Zone of the most lamentable effects of
the many evils of the prohibition system
is the spread of drunkenness among
classes that were never touched in the
worst phases of the open saloon.
Here, as elsewhere, are to be found
the mischievous workings of the dis
torted theories of the prohibition reform
ers when put to practical tests.
What is now in mind is the remark
able increase in the use of the worst
forms of intoxicants, in the worst posi-
BILE manner, among children, young girls,
and women.
The evidence on this score is ample
and incontestable. 1t is encountered with
frightful frequency in the records of the
courts and in the columns of the daily
press.
rs attempted prohibition enforcement
responsible for this state of affairs? If SO,
why? An attempt will be made to give
the answers.
"The most touching characteristic of
childhood is that of unquestoncd con-
fdence in the elders of the family. What
ever they do is not only right, but is to
be initiated, and the initiative tendency is
carried out with a perfection seldom ever
achieved by the most consummate actors
on the stage.
Every 'reformer' knows of this I'M
quenchable spirit of childhood, and al
most all have written of it in merited
praise. So there can be no question Of
the fact itself, nor of the far-reaching in
on the plant mind of the child.
"In many instances prohibition has not
only taken the use of liquor from the sa-
loon to the house, but its manufacture
from the distillery and brewery to the
kitchen and cellar thus bringing it within
the purview of the child's own world,
joining with all the intimacies of the life
to which he has given his fullest loyalty
and unquestoning approval"
This man, woman or whatever it is, is
SO wrought up over the safety of our girls
and women. Prohibition is running them
and he would save them from its awful
degradation. He says the courts are full
of cases where such open and awful
crimes of drunkenness occurred. These
are CLEANED from all over the broad land.

came from nor where he was in the good
old days" of the saloon, but had he been
