THE MICHIGAN RUMBELLION.
SOUSED doughboy staggered by a sober colonel the other day and
was court-martialed for passing an officer in a superior condition.
Nobody knows where the boys are getting it, but Satan finds
work for idle tonsils to do.
It is queer how the boys who love liquor manage to find it. Love
is blind. Especially after a mooter of Dr. Al Woodalcohol's famous
false teething syrup.
It is possible to grab' off a hoot every ten days on a doctor's sub
poena. Tne only directions' are simple. Talk well after using.
Sharpers up in the Ozark country are taking the visiting firemen
for heavy dough. They surround a hick and then break out the old-Jump-steady.
Three drinks of the census eradicator are poured out. It's
a machine game. Old man doses. The roach food is guzzled simultane
ously, and if the poor seed falls oh his head the two syndicate guys throw
two tails. i
Fifteen hundred mountaineers were pinched in the Blue Ridge dis
trict for drinking wood alcohoPwithout a license. No chance of dodging
the revenue officers now. One drink of Old Reliable Sideswipe and
you'd leave footprints on concrete. .The prohibitionists think the country
is dryer than a covered bridge because all the saloons are sewed up.
They've only succeeded in doing what economists have been trying to
do for centuries. They've cut out the middleman. Now the stuff goes
direct from producer to consumer, plus a slight deraur via the elbow
route Of course, a guy who sniffs, powder knows-that he is violating
a posthumous codicil on the Constitution. Your conscience is always in
the way like a volunteer fireman, but one jerk of sparkling Wolf Syrup
and your conscience folds up like a drawbridge to let the little tugs
toot by. . : . 1
jUp around Michigan way the suburbanites are in rebellion. They
claim that a man can drink if he wants to even if he doesn't drink. The
revenue hounds are, on their way to the spot marked X. Those birds
can't stay away from liquor. When they pull a still the first thin
they do .is to sample the powders to figure if it is booze. They take A
little sewing circle nip for a starter. Then they . think, maybe we've
sent, a boy on a man's errand. They take another whiffle to verify
the rumor. After that the investigation goes democratic. After all the
coffin garnish is inhaled the prosecution rests its case until the defense
brings up more evidence; The. revenue agents are very correct. The
only way to down a rebellion is to down the' cause of it The govern
ment shouldn't .print all this stuff about rum mines. It's like a voice
on the Weejee Board. Still nobody will believe ghosts until they pipe
one staggering. '
s Prohibition is dwarfing education., The old-fashioned boy who went
to college to learn how to drink will come home absolutely ignorant now.
It is possible that Michigan's lead will be followed by 6 per cent
secession of other states who do not believe in freeing the slaves of
rum. Some of the sieves may prefer to remain in their bottled-in-bondage
rather than be free and equal and other U. S. hardships. Michigan be:
lieves in state rights even if they're wrong. We're a sympathetic people.
If Michigan is wrong about this booze question we're willing to
share their mistakes with 'em.
-
The Northwest is in a state rumbellion. Take down grandpa's old
muzzle loading corkscrew from down over that there fireplace. Get
the old quart powder flak. Our country, wet or wrong. Take your
place on the bridge with Senator Lodge and the other wait-a-minute
men and drink the shot that will knock jrpu around' the world. The panic
is on. ...... .

Two Seriously Injured
Stepping in Front of
Rapidly Moving Truck
Jasper 1 Cole, Twentieth and
Charles streets. and Mrs. E. A. Nel
son, 1917 Cuming street, were in
lured at 6:15 P. M., yesterday when
Struck- at Twentieth and Cuming
streets by a rapidly-moving truck
owned by the Daily News and
driven by J. If. Kirschbraun, 913
Atlas street.
Cole was bruised about the head
and body and suffered .a possible
fracture of the skull. He was taken
to Lister hospital in a taxicab. Mrs.
Nelson was also bruised, and suf
fered a fracture'd rib, and possibly
a fracture of the skull. She was
taken to her home.
According to witnesses, Cole was
struck when he stepped from be
hind a westbound street car, di
rectly into the path of Kirschbraun's
truck, which, they say, was travel
ing east at a rapid rate. Kirsch
braun apparently tried to avoid the.
accident, but acted too late. In
swinging his car he directed it onto
the sidewalk, where he struck Mrs.
Nelson.
Patrolman W. B. Sherwood, who
witnessed the accident, placed
Kirschbraun under arrest, charged
with fast and reckless driving. He
was later released on $500 cash bail.
Alleged Profiteer Is
Re-Indicted to. Test Law
St. Louis, Feb. 27. At the request

Farmer Wantsv$l 0,000
Damages From Renters
For Run-Down Farm
Action in equity against Fred
Janson, Cedar county farmer, and
his wife, Louise, was filed in United
States district court yesterday by
A. T. Bennett of Sioux City for
damages to the amount of $10,000,
which the plaintiff alleges he suf
fered through renting a farm to the
Jansons.
Bennett says the Jansons agreed
to operate his farm in Cedar coun
ty for five years, beginning in 1919.
Certain activities and requirements
were specified in the contract, he
said, which the Jansons failed to ac
complish, thereby causing him to
lose money.
Mr. Bennett says stock on the
farm was allowed to become
diseased, land was allowed to lie
idle, less planting done than had
bvn agreed on and crops that were
sown were not put in right nor
harvested as they should have been.

MAYOR DECLINES
TO BE HITCHCOCK
COMMITTEEMAN
Silent About Bryan, But Would
Like to See Hitchcock
Get "Compliment
ary" Vote.
Mayor Ed P. Smith yesterday an
nounced that he has declined to
serve as a member of the state com
mittee of the Hitchcock-for-Presi-dent
club, and has so advised John
H. Mithen, president.
Mr. Mithen, who was one of the
foremost promoters of the recent Ed
P. Smith gubernatorial boom, named
James C. Dahlman and Mayor Smith
as members from this congressional
district to serve together on the
Hitchcock state committee.
Says Neither Made "Break."
Democrats whose memory is serv
ing them well at this time, assert
that Mr. Milthen made a political
faux pas when he named Dahlman
and the mayor as teammates on the
committee, pthers are speculating
as to whether Mayor Smith will be
lined up with the Bryan hosts during
the forthcoming state democratic
free-for-all. '
Mr. Mithen yesterday afternoon
dismissed lightly the mayor's letter
of declination, insisting that it had
no political significance.
"I would like N to see Senator
Hitchcock receive the compli
mentary vote of this state, but I am
too busy to serve on any Hitchcock
committee," the mayor explained,
with an air of finality. The mayor
reserved his answer concerning en
listing in the Bryan forces.
Dinner Will "Reverberate.'
Arthur F. Mullen, democratic na
tional committeeman, stated he, is
looking forward with interest to the
Hitchcock dinner to be given at the
Paxton hotel Friday night, March
12. He explained yesterday that this
function will reverberate through
the state something akin to the shot
that was heard around the world.
Assuming a serious expression,
Mr. Mullen stated that he is going
to run so fast to retain his commit
teemenship that "Billy" Thompson
of Grand Island will be singing,
"You'd Be Surprised."
Zadina High Man.
Zadina of the Sunlight Paints,
member of the Booster bowling
league, toppled over 628 pins last
night for the high score of the eve
ning at the Omaha alleys. His first
game totaled 219, his second 196 and
his third 213.

Guardian Asked for
Well Known Character
, Reputed to Be Rich
Application to have a guardian
appointed for Albert J. Seaman was
made in the county court yesterday
by T. H. Weirich, superintendent of
the welfare board.
Mr. Seaman has been a picturesque
figure in Omaha for many years.
Though shabbily dressed, he was
reputed to have a large fortune. He
lives in a room at 808 South Eight
eenth street, and was said to be a
large buyer of tax titles.
"He is old, 77 years, and poorly
nourished," said Mr. Weirich. "He
asked me to arrange to take care of
his affairs. He said that he has
nothing of much value."
Mr.-Seaman was taken to St.
Catherine's hospital Wednesday.
He has been a familiar figure in
the court house and in the downtown
district for many years. The ambi
tion of his life has been to cut liv
ing expenses to the minimum, and
he frequently sustained himself on
15 cents per day for food. An old
hat, purchased at a rummage sale
for a few cents, served him as well
as a modish model, costing as many
dollars. Frequently he has asserted
that extravagance is the besetting
evil of the race. Mr. Seaman car
ried his office in his pockets.

Where Can I Find
Itching, Terrifying, Eczema
This Question Is Ever on the
Lips of the Afflicted.
Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas and
other terrifying conditions of the
skin are deep-seated blood troubles,
and applications of salves, lotions
and washes can only afford tempo
rary relief, without reaching the
real seat of the trouble. But just
because local treatment has done
you no good, there is no reason to
despair. Yon simply have not
sought the proper treatment, that
is within your reach.
