To those Immediately engaged in the
Illicit business, whether wholesale or

controversy of the public with you
must now come to an end. You have
openly and persistently defed our laws;
you have made yourselves the agents
of even greater criminals outside the
state, who have supported you in your
unlawful traffic; you have gathered
about you a criminal element that is
perpetual menace to the safety of the
community, and have maintained pla-
ces that engender and encourage all
vices; you have introduced the most
corrupting and demoraiizing factors
and influences into our local politics:
and for years you have scorned all ap-
lC
presented to you by the virtue loving
portion of the community. Now. we
feel that the time has come when we
must speak to you peremptorily. We
cease now to endeavor to persuade;
we command
You must stop this lawless and in
| iquitous business, and stop it at once.
And we hereby notify you that we
must have unquestionable evidence,
absolutely satisfactory to the commit
tee of public order which we today con-
stitute, that all your Illicit goods, to-
| gether with all the associated fixtures
and furnishings of the places where

this demand we shall insist, and, if it
shall be disregarded, we will take

its rigid enforcement.
If a long-outraged public shall be
compelled to resort to the fundamental
right of standardization against Grim

steered by the captain, who stands up
Recently small launches propelled by
gasoline engines have been tried al
some of the life saving stations with
good success.
Under the rules of the life saving
bureau its members and employees are
not allowed to accept money or other
gratuities from those whom they may
rescue. The idea is, of course, that
the saving of human life should not be
put on a monetary basis. and that the
surfmen should do their work as
matter of duty and without hope of
further reward. But the government
has established a method of recognize
ing deeds of especial heroism which
has proved highly successful and bene
fetal to the service. Congress has pro-
vided beautiful gold and silver medals
to be awarded to men and women who
display unusual courage and daring in
saving life at sea. whether they are
members of the life saving service or
not To win one of these medals is
the highest honor which a surfman
can hope to win, and it's possessor is
envied of all his fellows. The gold
medal for life saving means to the
member of the service what the Vic
toria Cross means to the British SOL
der, or the Iron Cross to the German.
IL marks him as the bravest among
brave men.
Among the recipients of the priced
medals have been at least two boys
who were only 10 years old at the time
thSy distinguished themselves and one
little girl of 10 who at the risk of her
own life rowed a boat out into the
breakers and rescued two adults from
drowning.
Besides the rescuing of passengers
and crews from shipwrecked vessels
and the saving of the ships them
selves, the coast patrolmen do great
work in the way of warning ships
which have unconSciOusly or other
wise got into positions of great
danger. In the year 1899, for instance
it appears that 1S4 vessels which had
got into dangerous waters were
warned of their peril at night by the
burning of danger signals by the coast
guards while ten ships received SIM
liar warning in the daytime by the
signals OF the international code. In
most of these instances it is probable
that shipwrecks would have occurred
that the service may justly claim that
it does a great work as a preventive
agent.
On the seacoast the danger of
wrecks is greatest from Sept. L to

There is probably nowhere in the

In almost every case the story Is that
of heroic perseverance in the face os
great difficulties and of lives cheerfully
risked that other lives may be saved.
AS an example of these stories may
be told that of the rescue of the crew

Former Governor and Congressman
Newell of New Jersey, whose death at
the age of "a years was announced
last week, will be long remembered as
the founder of the national life saving
service, the plan of which has been
adopted by almost all civilized ma
lions. By securing a trial appropria-
ton OF $4,000 for an experiment sta
ton during his service in Congress Dr.
Newell gave the first impetus to the
wonderful service which now includes
almost all the seacoast of the United
States as well as the shores of the
great lakes.
What the life saving service means
in this country may be gathered by
the fact that within the last thirty
years the members of the life saving
crews have been summoneL to lilo
notable marine disasters, involving
total property value of $170,000,000. OF
this great amount property to the
value of s132 900, 900 was saved by the
efforts of the government life savers.
In these II, ITO disasters no less than
$4,000 people were involved, of whom
