The Caste System

This is a social system in India. The
population is divided into large num-
Der of hereditary groups which refuse
to have anything to do with members
of any other group. In some parts Of
India there are as many as two hum
dred of these groups, any member of
which would be considered tainted it
he so much as sat down at table
with a member of lower caste. The
system is now being rapidly broken
down by the influence of the British.
Castles are supposed to have had their
origin in the successive conquests Of
the country by peoples from the north.
With each conquest the superior caste
was supplanted by conquering caste.
These different classes refused to in
termarry and for the most part the
individuals followed the occupations of
their fathers. The word "caste" is
now loosely applied to the different
social classes in any Countrywide
Pathfinder.

which later was standardized through
out the First army. For the expedi-
ton with which the wounded were
handled he received the Distinguished
Service medal.
Doctor Lorenz' first service for the
disabled veterans began when he re-
turned to Wisconsin. He was named
as a member of the national rehabili-
tation committee Of the American Lee
gfon, representative or neuropsy-
chiatry. While a member of this COM
mittee he became active in disclosing
the inadequacy of federal plans for
disqualification. With Col. A. A.
Sprague and Col. Thomas A. Salmon
he appeared before the President when
such deficiency in disqualification was
reported to the nations executive.
It was through Doctor Lorenz' ac-
tiyity that the $250,OOO Wisconsin Me-
mortal hospital was authorized by the
legislature of that state. In 1922 that
hospital was receiving and treating
patients, at this time the institution
serving the double purpose Of COM
memorating the dead and serving those
alive, is almost completed, giving the
state the lead in such provision of
care for the disabled by a common
wealth.
At the Wisconsin department con-
yention of the Legion in 1923 Doctor
I,orenz was named to the post of vice
commander but resigned this position
on his appointment to the state board
of control. Veterans affairs, par
ticularly those concerning rehabilita-
ton are close to Doctor Lorenz
heart. and he always finds time for
such service. AS proof Of this he
served on the service recognition
board of the state which admins
tered the soldiers relief fund, passing
on cases of disability without compen-
sation. He also assisted in perfecting
machinery for payment of the Wis
sonsin state bonus.
Recently Doctor Lorenz has been
much In the public eye because of his
research for cures for diabetes
Bright's disease and goiter.

No Problem at All

An instructor in an automobile
school was instructing his class in
regard to breakdowns on the road
and how to make rapid repairs for
same.
He pointed his finger at the most
stupid one in the class and said

WeatherUanes Back

Weathervanes, popular a century
ago, and which disappeared from gen.
eral use about generation back, are
coming into vogue again in America
This probably is due to the increasing
use of copper as weatherproof mate
rial for the vanes, and the revival OF
colonial architecture. In contrast to
weathervanes of the past, which were
conventional arrows, horses, or birds
gilded, the new weathervanes are more
works Of art, and lack the garish ap-
pearance impaired by gold leaf

Pre.RophoeLites

The name "Pre-Raphaelites" was
given in England about 1850 to a
group Of painters, including Millais,
Holman Hunt, Alma Tadema and
Dante Gabriel Rosetti, who rebelled
against the conventionality of routine
teaching in art, and sought to return
previous to the time of Raphael Q4S3-
1920. The Pre-Raphaelites were ably
championed by the famous art critic,
John Ruslkin. AS school they were
severely criticized, but their work was
productive of much good.-Kansas

is what results of experiments on PAT

NO MORE FINES FOR
BREWERIES

"We shall not be satisfied with
fines for the brewery owners, Off
GERS and brew-masters, but in each
case we shall press for prison sem
tences. The corporations who pay
fines for manufacturing or selling
high-power beer consider the fine
as merely license fee which per-
mits them to go ahead violating
the law with temporary immunity
until they are again fined. When
some of these men go to prison
for the violations, however, they
will soon make up their minds that
they would rather not engage in the
perilous business of catering to the
beer trade. Robert NJ. Anderson,

Many Agencies Used by Wet Forces
Trying to Fool and Mislead
the Public
TRIBUNE LEADS WORLD IN
MOIST PUBLICITY
Beer Congressman Uses Govern
ment Means to Distribute
Wet Speech

With the approach of election extraor-
binary efforts are being made by the liquor
interests to mislead the public relative to
prohibition enforcement. The persistence
and ingenuity of the wets coupled with
the vast resources at their command make
it possible for them to disseminate an
overwhelming amount of misleading pub
licity material The Chicago Tribune still
leads the field as the chief wet propaganda
force in the United States, and probably
in the entire world The Chicago Tribune
itself has a daily circulation approaching
the million mark. The New York Daily
News, also owned by the Tribune has the
largest circulation of any morning news
paper in that city. The Oceanic edition
of the Chicago Tribune and New Y orle
News is circulated on all United States
government ships carrying passengers be-
tween United States and other countries.
The European edition of the Chicago
Tribune published in Paris not only has a
wide circulation among English readers in
other countries but is freely quoted by for
eign newspapers printed in various Ian
guages throughout Europe and the rest of
the world. The new Liberty magazine
published by the Tribune Company has al
ready reached circulation of over a half
million weekly. All of these newspapers
and magazines under Tribune ownership
and control are used in attacking the
Eighteenth Amendment. The Liberty
magazine of September 20 contains an
article by Hugh Fullerton noted sports
writer, headed "TY COBB SAYS, IF
GETTING STALE, DRINK" In this
article Ty Cobb is quoted as having told
Fullerton that under certain circu1n-
stances drinking is the best thing possible
for an athlete" Johnny Evers, Matthew
son, Alexander and Hans Wagner were
other noted ball players named by Fuller
ton as beer drinkers.
Another Wet Editorial
On Sunday, September 81, the Chicago
Tribune printed long editorial under the
heading "The Failure of Prohibition En-
forcement and the Reasons" In this edi-
torial the Tribune asserted that "the fed
eral law is in collapse wherever there is
desire to drink alcoholic beverages" This
was followed by characteristic liquor logic
in which truth and falsehood were so clev-
erly mixed that doubtless many were mis-
led thereby.
Trade journals frequently are used as a
medium for anti-prohibition propaganda.
An example of this is the Valve World

Are Reliable Guide to Voters Who
Favor Enforcement and Seek In
formation as to Candidates
ELECTION WILL DECIDE
LOWER HOUSE MAJORITY
Illinois Prohibition Act and En-
forcement Appropriations Are
at Stake

A partial list of Anti-Saloon League
endorsements for the legislature are con-
tanned in this number OF the Issue. In
the majority of the districts of the state
the legislative fight was settled in the
primaries There are, however, enough
doubtful districts to decide the wet and
dry majority in the lower house in the
next session. Accordingly the AntiSa-
loon League is centering its fight in these
districts in an effort to assure the cleo
ton of the largest lossible number of
dry representatives.
The endorsements of the Anti-Saloon
League are made by the headquarters
committee consisting of nine men. The
headquarters committee OF the League is
chosen by and acts f.: the state board of
100 whose members are chosen by the
various church and temperance organiza-
tions of the state that constitute the
League. In deciding its endorsements
the members of the headquarters COM
mittee, in conference with the state SUI
perintendent, thoroughly study the atti-
tude and record of each candidate on pro-
hibition enforcement legislation. Field
representatives of the League and local
friends of the dry cause cooperate in fur
nishing complete information relative to
each candidate for the legislature. In adj
dition to this information the headquar-
ters committee has available the Anti
Saloon League records of all candidates
who have previously served in the legis-
lature or in other offices related to the
enforcement problem.
Dry Record or Attitude Determines
Endorsement
The endorsements made by the Anti
Saloon League through its headquarters
committee are based cn each candidates
definite attitude or record in relation to
the legislative program of the League. In
other words, the candidate must favor
the particular program of legislation
agreed upon by the united dry forces of
the state in order to receive the approval
of the Anti-Saloon League. In every
campaign there are candidates who appeal
for dry support but who are unwilling to
support the legislative program of the
Anti Saloon League. Sometimes candi-
dates who do not drink intoxicants ask
for dry support on The strength of their
personal abstinence. At the same time
they may be unwilling to vote for dry en-
forcement measures. Some candidates
claim to be dry but oppose the particular
legislation supported by the dry forces.
