JUDGE RULES ON PROHI. LAW STATE FIGHT INVOLVES SMITH
"Near Beer" as Intoxicating Liquor is
Prohibited by Billings Law.
Guthrie, Okla.—Enforcement Attor-
ney Fred S. Caldwell has received a
copy of the instructions given by
Pudge William Bowles of Perry to the
grand jury there on the "near beer"
quest/ion, sustaining Caldwell's posi-
tion that their sale is forgidden by
the prohibitory law, and expects that
an opportunity will be given there for
a test case of that point, which has
never yet been decided by the courts.
In his instructions Judge Bowles
said:
"The Billups bill provides that
spirituous, vinous, fermented or malt
liquors, or any imitation thereof or
substitute therefor, the traffic therein
ehall be prohibited. Malt liquor and
fermented liquor doesn't have to be
beer, as generally understood It
doesn't have to be Amber Mead, it
doesn't have to be Red Top, Long-
horn or anything of that sort. When
a beverage has malt in it, it then be-
Press Man Denies That He Wrote Edi-
torial Criticism.
Guthrie, Okla.—The controversy be-
tween the Leader Printing company,
of Guthrie, and. State Auditor Trapp
because the latter would not pay a
claim of th4-^£ormer on the grounds
that it was exhorbitant, still rages.
The developments include the absence
of Mr. Trapp. who has gone to the in-
ternational tax conference at Louis-
ville, Ky.; several editorial blasts from
the Leader reading the auditor out of
the democratic party and calling him
bad names; a statement from George
Smith, manager of the democratic
press bureau, in which he censures
the Leader reading the auditor out of
under a head which attributed it to
the "press bureau." Mr. Smith's
statement was as follows:
"In a bitter attack on State Aud-
itor M. E. Trapp, the Guthrie Leader
on September 13 published an article
and credited the authorship of the
mime to the 'Press Bureau.' As the ar-
ticle in uqestion was written from a

comes malt liquor and when the state
Bhows that it is malt liquor, ajid
shows a sale thereof, the defense of
ncn-intoxicating, or whether it con-
tains leas than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol is immaterial; in
other words, the court means to say
that when the state has established
the article disposed of, bartered or
given away, as malt liquor, the ques-
tion as to whether it Is intoxicating
or non-intcxicating is no defense.
"That portion of the Eillups bill
wbich provides that liquor, mark the
languae, LIQUOR, not malt liquor,
containing less than one-half of one
per cent shall pass muster, from every
fair construction that can be placed
on the bill, means liquors which have
been medicated, such as bitters and
decoctions of that sort, that may be
used as a beverage."
Projecting Interurban
El Reno. Okla.—Judge S. Whitting
hill and C. McMahan of Enid, repre-
sentatives of the interurban company,
that has projected a line from Enid
to Chickasha by way of El Reno, met
with El Reno citizens last week and
submitted the company s proposition
for a franchise. It is probable that
the terms will be acceptable to the
city officials, as an election will be
called shortly to vote on the fran-
chise.
J democratic standpoint, .many people
have assumed that it was a product of
the democratic press bureau, of which

lack. editor of the Daily Leader, the
! evening the article appeared and re-
: monstrated against the indefinite char-
acter of the accredited authorship,
pointing out to Mr. Niblack the fact
i that many would consider that the ar-
I tide in question was written by the
J manager of the press bureau. Mr.
i Niblack then assured me that in the
I next issue of the Leader he would put
'Mr. Smith and the democratic press
I hureau in the clear.' This the Leader
I has failed to do, and no explanation as
! to the authorship has been made.''
I Company Sues Auditor Trapp.
1 Guthrie, Okla.-The Leader Printing
I company has filed suit in the Logan

ditor M. E. Trapp asking mandamus

How to Make a Bad Back Better.
■Women who Buffer with backache,
bearing down pains, dizzy spells and
that constant feeling
• of dullness and tired-
ness, will find hope
in the advice of Mrs.
Mary Hinson of 21
Strother St., Mt.
Sterling, Ky. "Had
I not used Doan's
Kidney Pills, I be-
lieve I would not be living today," says
Mi*. Hinson. "My eyesight was poor,
1 suffered with nervous, splitting head-
aches, spots would dance before my
e?es and at times I would be so dizzy
1 would have to grasp something for
support. My back was so weak and
painful I could hardly bend over to but-
ton my shoes and could not get around
without suffering severely. Doan's Kid-
ney Pills helped me from the first, and
I continued until practically well
again."

A New One About Napoleon.
A "new" story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply so old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
It relatesto Napoleon and Blucher. j
The emperor received the general ;
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he j
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to a window in an upper |
story and paid him compliments on j
his military gifts, and Blucher, going
away delighted, described the inter- i
view to his aide-de-camp. "What a |
chance you missed!" exclaimed the j
latter.
"You might have changed the whole
course of history."
"How?"
"Why, you might have throvn him
out of the window."
"Confound it!" replied Blucher. "So
I might! If only I had thought of it." j
—New York Evening Post.
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other make3.
His Size Was Known.
"I want some collars and neckties
for my husband!" she snapped.
"Yes, madam."
The clerk ofTered her the latest
thing.
"What size are these?" asked the
lady.
"Why, twelve and a half, madam!'"
"How on earth did you guess that?"
"Ah," replied the clerk, smiling,
"gentlemen who let their wives select
their collars and ties always take that
size!"
CAN l HAVE
TW CENTS
MMWH6?
One of the Chautauqua tal'.jrs says:
"Husbands, let your wives have an
extra dollar now and then." He might
have rendered a greater service to
mankind by saying: "Wives, let your
husbands have an extra dime occa-
sionally without asking them to ex-
plain why they want the money."
FALL PAINTING.
The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several ad-
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.
Pure white lead—the Dutch Boy
Painter kind—mixed with pure lin-

Fooled Them Thirteen Years.
j Frank Nelson, former state superin-
tendent of public instruction of Kan-
j sas, and "Cap." Gibson, the veteran
' record clerk in Auditor Nation's of-
I fice, are great friends. Nelson is now
' president of a Minnesota college.
When Nelson was still in the state
house he and Gibson had a talk one
day about teaching school. "I was
once a school teacher," volunteered
Gibson.
"Is that so?" asked Nelson. "How
long?"
"Yes, 1 fooled 'em 13 years,"
plied "Cap."
"How is that?" asked Nelson.
"Oh," said "Cap." "I quit when
teachers had to qualify."—Kansas City

Special Session May be Called.
Sulphur, Oklya.—Governor Haskell
Friday denied that he had consider-
ed more tan tentatively the calling ot
a special session of the legislature to
recommend the appropriating of mon-
ey for the installation of an oil pipe
line from Oklahoma to the gulf, but
confessed that such a proposition had
been discussed recently. He said that
if he were convinced that such a move
would be feasible that he would con-
sider the matter favorably.
Lightning Causes Much Damage.
Hunter. Okla.—Lightning caused
thousands of dollars worth of damage
here during a storm in which 13 head
of cattle and horses were killed and
five barns which were burned, all on
ndjoining farms, and all within almost
tow hours time.
Road to Issue Building Bonds.
Arnett, Okla.—Directors of the
Mountain Valley & Plains Railway
company, which has projected a line
from Cimarron, Texas, to Guthrie, Ok.
have Issued bands not to exceed $2<>,
000 per mile for the construction oi
the road. H. S. Wanamaker announces
that the bonds htfve been contracted
for and that construction will begir
by next February.
The extraordinary nopularlty of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im-
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
Hypocrite in the Hereafter.
Dr. Madison C. Peters was discuss-
ing the question. "Will the coming
n an marry?" He instanced a certain
type of bachelor.
"This man," he said, "is a hypo-
crite. He uses his religion as a
cloak."
"And what will he do in the next
world, eh?" said the reporter.
"Oh," said Dr. Peters, "he won't
need any cloak there."
Timber is Dying.
Muskogee. Okla—Through the she^r
lack of moisture trees are said to b«>
dying in the timber belt of the eas-
tern part of the state where rain ha.;
not fallen in seven weeksi Forest
Ures have damaged much tibmer dui*
ing that time and there is a heavy loss
from this source to grass and fetn?s.
Women Aid Officers.
Mounds. Oklp.—Quite a sensation
was created here when prominent mem
bers of the Women's Christian Tem-
perance Union assisted Dr. Johnson,
the Kiefer deputy sheriff, in raiding
joints and confiscating bootleg liquors.
Indians May Lease Land.
Guthrie. Okla.—Col. A. R. M«ller,
superintendent of the Kaw
agency, has rccived an order from
the department granting forty-one
more of the Kaw Indians permission
to lease their land and collect the
rent on It for one year. This Is an
experiment that is being made in
handling the Indians. If they handle
their business affairs successfully for
one year, they will probably be given
an extension of time and further priv-
ileges. - .
Training School Plans Delayed.
Guthrie^1 Okla.—All efforts to get a
'emporary stato training school for
juveniles, so thnt the juvon'U: couit
bill could be enforced during the in-
terval that will exist until the Wynne
wood-Pauls Valley school is built, scetr
doomed to disappointment.

Carnations Go to Sleep.
Florists often suffer losses through
a habit carnations have of sometimes
"going to sleep" and never opening
again. A series of experiments made
in the Hull botanical laboratory and
described in the Botanical . Gazette
makes it seems probable that this
"sleep" is caused by the effect of Il-
luminating gas, to which, even in very-
small quantities, these flowers are
surprisingly sensitive.
Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau-
ty. Home laundering would be equal-
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
Btrength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

air is always notoriously bad."
But who ever thinks of looking at
such exhibitions from the family skel-
eton's point of view?

The Root of Altruism.
The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of justice; that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that 1 ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity;that I owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
I can really decide to help my neigh- ^
bor, and am truly disgraced if I do not |
do so. To this may be added the |
idea of a definite judgment; that is.
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the |
helped—G. K. Chesterton.
