DAN McGANN AND UNCLE SAM

Said Dan McGann to a foreign imah who worked at the self-same bench “Let me tell you this,” and for emphasis, he flourished a monkey wrench “Don’t talk’to me of this bourjoissee, don’t open your mouth to Of your socialists or your anarchists, don’t mention the bolshe* veek For iVe heard enough of this foreign stuff, I’m sick as a man cun be Of the speech of hate, and I’m tellin’ you straight that this is the land for me!’’ “If you want to brag, just take this flag, an’ boast of its field An’ dead an’ the blood they shed for the peace of the likes of you. I’ll hear no .more,’’ and he waived once more his wrench in a forceful way, - , , , _ , ... j “O’ the cunning ejeed of some Russian breed. I stand for the U. S A.! I’m done with your fads, and your wild-eyed lads, don’t flourish your flag o’ red Where I can see, or at night there’ll be tall candles round your bed. “So tip your hat to a flag like that! Thank God for its stripes and stars! , „ Thank God you're here where the roads are clear, away from your kings and czars. . , I can’t just say what I feel today, for I’m not a talkin man. But first an' last, I am standin’ fast for all that’s American. So don’t you speak of the bolsheveek, it’s sick of that stuff I am, One God ono flag is the creed I brag! I’m boostin for Uncle Sam ” • —HOLYOKE TRANSCRIPT.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(Continued from Page One)

from . diploma examinations provided their pupils are promoted by the teacher in charge. This last provision was effected to prevent discriminations in such townships as Marion; Wheatfield and Union. Wherever a semblance of junior high school is now existing the pupils are promoted from the schools without the conventional diplouna examination. This is a partial step towards giving the rural boys and girls a square deal on this diploma examination subject. Any ampil in Jasper county who is now in eighth grade can volunteer to take this examination at Rensselaer. This enables any child in Jasper county to take the examination regardless of the new situation made possible by townships maintaining a semblance of junior high schools. The Newton township pupils will write in the high school auditorium at Rensselaer.

The board had planned to give a farewell dinner in honor of County Agricultural Agent Learning. Twenty-five or 30 farmers asked to affiliate in this matter. An elegant dinner was served at the Barnes restaurant to between 40 and 50 persons, which included 12 trustees and the farmers affiliating. After dinner the bcar.d and farmers retired to the office of the county superintendent where numerous speeches were made in honor of their guest, who is leaving a ■hedtf of friends in Jasper county. Those who spoke were: Frank Alter, Burdett Porter, Frank Welsh, JoeVKolhoff, John Rush, Ed Lane,

L. 11. Hamilton, Russel Van Hook, George Parker, Winfred Pullins, Kenton Parkison, John Kolhoff,. Alfred .Duggleby, Ira Meader, Chas. W. Postill, Percy Hauter, Livingston Ross, Steve Kohley, Logan Wood, John Pettit, James Amsler and Warren Poole. The speeches were of the four-minute type made by individuals during war time%. They were all pointed and easily interpreted. Stewart Learning gave a closing talk that was very pleasing to the many who had met to give him their farewell handshake. After the meeting the board reto transact other business of lesser importance.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

JERSEY ATTACKS PROHIBITION LAW

Attorney General McCran Files Petition in United States Supreme Court. / “IS VIOLATION OF RIGHTS” Suit Seeks to Have Dry Amendment Declared Unconstitutional and to Prevent Enforcement of Volstead Act. Washington, March 5. —The state of New Jersey through its attorney general, Thomas F. McCran, filed in the United States Supreme court a suit seeking to have the prohibition amendment declared unconstitutional and to prevent enforcement of the Volstead act. The suit Is directed against Attorney General Palmer and Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of Internal revenue. v The hill sets forth that the amendment was improperly drawn, that in twenty-one states the legislatures have not ratified it as provided by their state constitutions and that there is no power in congress to propose a constitutional amendment regulating the habits and inorals of the people. It recites further that the amendment is a legislative and not a constitutional matter and tlmt as such it was improperly passed. “Violation of Rights." It is charged that the amendment centralizes authority without the consent of the people of New Jersey and that It is a violation of their sovereign rights. The Volstea# act, having been enacted under authority of the amendment, the petition says, is null and void.

It is claimed that the Volstead act Is illegal because by “depreciating and in a large measure destroying the taxable value qf real and personal property within the state” it Is destructive of the state's free and Independent government; because it deprives the state of revenues from licenses, which in 1918 amounted to $2,442,899, and because it interferes with the internal government of the people and operates to punish them by heavy fines, imprisonment and forfeitures, thus preventing application for licenses for the sale of nonintoxicating beverages, which is authorized under the laws of the state.

“Restricts Physicians." Complaint is made that the act restricts the practice of physicians of the state and the operation of its penal, correctional and charitable institutions ; that the state has not concurred in the amendment and that if the act is enforced it will nullify the right of state to regulate its internal affairs. It is claimed the act is not appropriate to enforce the prohibition contained in the amendment, which is expressly confined to intoxicating liquors. Millions of “Drinks" Exported. New York, March 5. —Demon rum, John Barleycorp and other alcoholic concoctions in sufficient quantifies to make more than 290,000,000 average “drinks” were exported from New York during January —the greater part prior to the 17th, when the eighteenth amendment became effective. This is shown by the export statistics of the port of New York made public today in detailed statements indicating that 3,384,760 gallons of spirits were cleared at the United States customs house with a stated value of $4,694,858. During January, 1919, there were exported 14,006 gallons of liquor valued at $52,417.
