THE REAL FRANKLIN.
email Honor Paid the Memory Of Our
Famous Patriot.

Famous Patriot.
There were not wanting sinister In
huences, subtly and persistently inhib-
iting the development of that le-,
explicit and national recognition Of
Frankltn's services which very little
thing might have called into full being
and activity even during his lifetime.
Had that contamination been realized
even for day, though it had been but
the day after his death, the character
of his fame would have been fixed diff
ferently, one cannot doubt, for the rest
Of time. For there would then have
come fully and simultaneously into the
national consciousness a conception of
Franklin which--instead of the legend
Of the Philadelphia printer, almanac
maker and humorist. or instead of the
legend Of the moral philosopher who
taught men how to thrive In business
end inculcated the practice of honesty
IS one of the best tricks of every trade
should have given US the legend of
that historical Franklin, the most ia
nous patriot, the wisest statesman, the
most successful diplomatist of his age,
a man, with whose name all Europe
whatever America may have been do
ing or thinking Of, then and since
once rang from side to side, and whose
presence in the world filed the mind Of
his generation with the ideas Of en-
lightenment, magnanimity and free
dom.-William Macdonald in the At

DRY ADVOCATES BUSY.
Recent Parliament Campaign show
 cd Prohibition Issue Is Gradually Becoming Live One in Germany.

Berlin, Jan. 24. The prohibi- ton issue is gradually becoming a live one in Germany. During the campaign for parliament recently closed the anti-liquor interests for the first time tried definitely to compel parties and candidates to declare where the ystood. Most per sons qucried were able, however, 10 sidestep the issue without losing any votes.
 Among the demands put forward by the German prohibition forces arc the following: An embargo upon all intoxicating drinks imported from other countries; immediate closing of all saloons of a shady character; restriction of liquor pro- duction to the quantity essential for medicinal and religious purposes; scquestration of all breweries and distileries; socializaton of restau- rants and hostelries; strict prohibi- ton Of he sale of intoxicating drinks to boys and girls under age,
 Most German people favor the last named of these demands, but on the whole arc skeptcal as to the pra acticality of prohibition, The stories they read about rum runners and booze fighters in the United States are cited as evidence that prohibition cannot be enforced.

HELPS DELINQUENT DOG ',
 OWNERS ESCAPE TAXES
City Office Unwittingly Deyiscs Ways to Get Rid of Undesirable
 Canines

Berlin, Jan. s4. - The City tax office has unwlttingly devised convenient way of enabling dog owners 10 get rid of undesirable canines, and of escaping the pay ment of the dog tax. A decree has been issued by the magistrate that dogs for which the tax has not been paid shall be "pawned" and later sold at auction.
 The procedure follows: If an own CT is In arrears with his dog tax and declines to pay up, ticket Is af- fixed 10 the dogs collar to the ef- feet that he has been "pawned" by the city. The owner no longer has the right to dispose of the canine at will. As soon as a number of tax deinquents has been rounded up - enough to make 1t worth while - q public auction of the dogs takes [ place. The lowest bid at which the ! tax official will give up a dog Is one equal 10 the dog tax in arrears. If nobody offers the amount of the tax or more, the city buys the dog and rcimburses the tax department from a special fund. Tho dog is then taken to a kennel in the suburb of Lankwitz where a veterinary surgeon kills him.
 As the dogs which are thus put up for auction are almost invariably anything but thoroughbreds, and are considered a good riddance by the owners. the city must in nine cases out of ten take money out of one drawer and put it into the next to acquire these doubtful ,posscs- Sions.

BROWNS ON REFUGEES
France Offers inducements to Tour ists but Fails to Realize Impor- tance of Immigration Problem.

Paris, Jan. q. - The French government has no desire to hinder or check the arrival of foreign tour ists, Camille Cbautemps, minister of the interior, has explained in a let fer to the president of the Nice Chamber of Commerce, who had eX- pressed fear that certain regulations in course of preparation would at- feet the tourist trade unfavoraby. Vexatious formalities for visiting foreigners will be avoided by tenn porary document, he says, obtain able from hotel keepers. which will take the place of the identity card
 N. Chautcmps feels, however, that owing 10 the fact that the fas- eign population of France has re- gently been composed of refugees from various European countries, a closer check should be kept on i'm migration. Some of these refugees have willingly accepted the burdens which accompany residence in France In the matter of formalities and taxations. Others, on the con- trary, have shown no desire 10 com- ply with the regulations; they do not register their addresses, obtain identity cards or pay taxes.
 Failure to produce receipts for in come and other taxes will be fol- lowed by a refusal of the authorities 10 issue or renew the foreigner S identity card.
