fv.e of saloon in Indiana now rests
v-ith the supreme court. "Whether the
Indiana legislature had a constitutional
right to pass ihi state-wide prohibition
law. especially in view of constitutional
contract risrhts. and also whether the
law does not contain within itself un
constitutional discrimination?. were
anions the principal issue!" arsued orally
before the supreme court yesterday In
two cases to test the validity of the
law. The court's decision may not be
handed down for several days.
Lawyers in Stiff Battle.
Six attorneys battled for and against
the law for more than four hours while
pm audience that filled to overflowing
the small courtroom in the state house
listened eagerly. In the main the ar

AVhen armmtoiits Jn the Evansviile
case were concluded the court passed to
a consideration of arguments in the

to look after liciuor retailers in

THE KAISER.
Starving children in many
countries ! Widowed young
xomen, and old women who
never again will see their sons!
Millions of soldiers in the last
bitter hours of mortal agony!
Gnawed skulls in the slimy bot
toms of many seas! The. Kaiser
spares 'his own sons, yet upon
his head is the blood of ten mil
lion men. In Dante's picture of
hell he has no equal. He is the
brutal soul of savage beasts put
into human shape, the madde.:
ed dog that learned our common
speech, the viper standing up
right clothed as man. For vanity
he set the world aflame. Too
long the crown has crazed his
festered brain. Why should we
not hate? It is time for hate,
and sacrifice born of brooding
hate! Why wait till the wound
ed come back? Why wait till
the lists of the dead come in?
Sometimes, sitting at my table
in the night, suddenly I think I
can hear the newsboys breaking
the silence with their far away
cries of "Extra! Extra!" Some-
r thing tells me, "They've got
him!" I listen again. The night
is silen. The thing was born of
the hope in my brain. But some
time it will be true! Then
through all the world will go up
prayer o:
thanks !
Ar
through all eternity, the anguish
that he wrought will terrify his
outcast soul, as to and fro it
wanders trembling through the
P'"tscfhell! I, the son o a Ger
man, who loved his native land
but despised its government,
write this.

across the water in the service of Uncle Sam. At the home of Mrs. Peter Claussen is a service flag
hanging in the window. It bears three stars on a white field for Mrs. Claussen's three sons, August,
Mart'n and Henry Steinhaur. Each of the brothers is serving the U. S. in France and Hammond is
