The World Whirligig
BY PAUL MCREA


Defeat of Smith, reformers say,
Should show the world the fight is Won
That prohibitions here to stay,
And liquors horrid sway is done.
So, high upon the tempted hills
The pallid temperate banner hoist
But as your heart with rapture thrills,
Regard the helpless plea that's voiced.
Despite our conquering crusade,
Our righteous arrows deity sped,
We call on Canada for aid
TIC help us whip foe that's dead.
The world will understand, of course,
That we've achieved our sacred aim,
While lending us its foot and horse
To meet the need that we proclaim.
A most amazing paradox,
The product of biased view,
When blistful blindness vision blocks
And tries to prove the untrue true.
Oh. what an unconvincing tune,
This hymn combining JOY and grief,
When moral watchdogs bay the moon
And call for help to stop the thief.

Il PARADIS SUIT

Trial of the Governments suit
against the LIE Paradis Cafe for
alleged violation of the prohibition
laws begun its second week today
before Justice Hatfield in the Dis.
trict Supreme Court.
The principal witness on the stand
throughout most of the day was
Harry N. Douthitt, secretary of the
Citizens Service Association, whose
testimony was merely accumulative
as to what he saw. with other
agents, at the cafe while working
up the case.
He testified that on one occasion
when in the place he complained to
a waiter that his social position was
such that he couldn't afford to be
in a place that was raided. He said
the waiter treasured him and told
him they wouldn't stand for anything
like that.
The witness brought smile to
the faces OF the handful of specta-
tors in the court room when he
described drunk" as being the
man with the light mustache. He
said that beyond that description
he could not describe him, but that
the man was intoxicated. He said
he knew this because the man
went to two tables TO converse with
others but that they refused to talk
to the mustached intruder.
A second visit on January 4, 1927.
was described when he testified that
Meyer Davis. owner of the cafe. was
present at a table when there was

She was talented musician.
Miss Kimbali had been questioned

In connection with this line Of

Thesis entitled "Unalloyed Bliss" In

The only reason she did not do
so. she wrote, was because there
was no indisputable reason for so
doing, and there was also the pos.
sibility that there might be some
