T. \rLA y.
times :"

Orr attention has been directed 70
the following extrac t which appeared
in IuE PRoGNEss Of March II, with
the request that we explain more
fully:
at appears TO us that it costs cOnsil-
erabl" money and \ large number OF hu-
man lives to hold iilicit htSii|ing IN
check, and even this does not put II stop
to it. After all, is II worth ihe "andlrE'
This Thought WAS suggested by the
escape from our jail OF two dlstillers;
leading our minds to the terrible con
nicts which take place between moon
sinners and revenue officers.
The mountains Of Kentucky, Ten
ne5see and soma other States have
been drenched - mstaphOrically
speaking in human blood; while
their valleys have flowed with this
life-givlng current. Many a home
has been deprived Of loved ones-of
both the moonshiners and otficers-in
the continual warfare of trying for
its only try at best, to suppress il
licit distilling.
The PRoGRERs does not take the po-
sition that the crusade against this
special kind of lawlessness should
be stopped; but we some times feel
especially when controlled by the
sentiment which dominated us when
the article was written-that it does
not pay to keep upthe conteat. We
were thinking then OF our personal
friends, Col. W. s. Rogers, now
dead, aud Messr5. Ii. G. and 5. G.
Rogers, whose son and brother
the flower of the family we are told
Mr., Hugh Rogers fell victim to the
assasin's bullet, becau Sc as an officer,
he discharged his duty.
On the wh,le-from a moral stand
point, there is little difference be-
ween the government and the
moonshiners. The former-for pay
permits an uuLoly traffic to be car
ried on. For pay it allows its agents
to kill men, destroy peace, content
ment. happiness, home, life. The
government claims the exclusive
right to grant permission to conduct
a business which docs more to de-
base It's citizenship, retard the en-
lightment of it's commonwealth and
impede the missionary work
of our Savior at home
and abroad-than all the other
evils combined. For pay it legiti-
mates traffic trsitorous to it's own
declaration Of principles, and not
only becomes an insurgent against
It's peace, dignity and pursuit of
business, pleasure and happiness;
but establishes schools, universities
and colleges for instructlng and train
ing others to become so.
The moonshiner claims the rigl t
to transform his grain and fruit into
anything else or article he chooses OF
to do with it what he chooses. OF
course in making liquors of any kind
and selling them he commits breach
of the law and is therefore crimi-
nal; but from moral standpoint he
is little worse than the government
The PROGRESS does not and cannot
counsel Iawlessness; to the contrary
it stands for the supremacy of law
the safeguard of our society; but st'I
we insist that morally speaking, there
is little difference between the gov
eminent and the moonshiner.

sections in particular. The following

mcnt horo and tho reshipment Of goods
and have all orders filled directly by
the wholesale house from which the
liquor is purchased. This, it is said,
will avoid any loss in refilling and

reasons, however, why tho present
plan had better be continued, chief
among them Is that labor is cheaper
hore than in Cincinnati.
There Ia already some talk of the

| E|omarhablo Experiments Made Wi.h the X
RayG in Europe Reported by Consul Con
erat DoKay.
United States Consul General De-
Kay at Berlin has submitted to the
state department an Interesting report
upon later developments Of the X rays,
accompanied by Il pamphlet in which
Professor Rucntgcn, tho discoverer,
explains his researches. The consul
generals report gives many facts that
have been discovered by Europcrn cX-
pcrimcntS in regard to the rays, which
are unknown in this country.
For instance, he reports that they
have been used to detect false pearls
after an exposure Of I5 minutes and an
Austrian professor has discovered
that they can also be used to detect
false diamonds. \ Hcrlincr has made
II special Photographic paper for tho
direct reception CT the rays. In con-
sequence it l. nOW necessary to mako
negative, ana 80 the reversed inn
preston incident to the negative is OBJ
waited.
II has been found that many pictures
may be taken at once in this manner
by using Il packet OF the sensitive pa
per, since the rays penetrate all Of the
! layers. Rector Render, in Spies, has
SucCc cucu III passing Llc fAVS through
brass cOnGtcr. the resulting photo
graph showing the Inscription on ono
side and bird in relief on the other.
New methods Of work have been
brought TO light. The length OF expo
sure has been reduced from ono hour
20 IL few minutes. The heavy charges
Of electricity which destroyed so many
CROOKS tnhes have been fonnd to be
unnecessary. The tube itself is not
required. and an ordinary incandescent
lamp suffice, if Il metal plate Is placed
nt 81 sufficient distance from it to catch
the cath0dcs or Y rays. But ono Of
the most important applications of tho
rays has boon made surgically. BY
placing subject TO be examined be-
fore a screen faced with q mixture of
nnrium, platinum and cyanum and al.
lowing The rays from a tube enclosed
in dark cloth to traverse the body
the Impression can be seen by the eve
on the surface OF the screen which Il
rendered flourcsccnt where the ra,
falls uninterrupted upon it, and thl
surgeon Is consequently enabled t.
move tho subject freely before tn
screen and examine the interior of tn
body for foreign substances or hurtfu
lgrowth and distorted bones.
