PROHIBITION AND BLIND TIGERS

In his charge to the Lauderdale
grand jury Judge Hall congratulated
Meridian on the scarcity of blind
tigers. strictly speaking" He ex-
pressed the opinion, however, that
the business is transferred to the So
cial clubs. These clubs, he said, were
in violation of the law-blind tigers
with a change of lair. Here we have
another illustration of the folly and
false pretense of prohibition-of the
system of government that does not
provide for licensing these clubs, that
take the place of the saloon in viola
tion of the law and without yield of
revenue. .-Vicksburg Herald,

The English towns have more dis,

most of which many streets are sim

ham is 4 street in York and Botcber-

Serious Case Of Itching and Bleeding Piles
Cured

For nearly a year I was afflicted
with itching and bleeding piles,
and was so bad that I could not
sit down without a great deal of
pain. I doctored and used all the
different kinds of pile medicine I
could hear of, without any benefit.
Six months ago I tried San-Cura
Ointment; the second application
gave me great relief, and half a
bottle cured me completely. l
have had no trouble since I used

Cough Remedy,

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing
from Durham, Natal, South Africa,

laln's Cough Remedy IS a cure
for old and young, l pen you the
following: A neighbor of nine had
child just over two months old.
It had a very bad cough and the
parents did not know what to give
it. I suggested that Ii they would
get bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and put some upon the
dummy teat the baby was sucking
II would no doubt cure the child.
This they did and brought about a
quick relief and cured the baby"

LAWYERS WINNING BETS
BY PRESIDENTS DELAY
Wagers on Naming of Judge
HagnePS Successor.
NOT UNTIL AFTER ELECTION
Strong Hopes for District Man to Get
the Place and Clear
Up Docket.

Delay in the appointment of a member
of the bench of the Supreme Court of
the District to ill the vacancy caused
by the retirement Of Justice A B. Hag-
ner. in June last, has led 20 much dis
cussion by members of the local bar.
over month ago some wagers were
made that the President would not
make a nomination to iii the vacancy
until after the elections tomorrow
The takers Of this end of the bets are
congratulating themselves today on their
chances of winning out
While the bettors are amusing them
seves in this way. however, the business
of the District Supreme Court is ac-
cumulating for want of a fulI bench OF
justices TO dispose of It. The vacancy
in one branch naturally Increases the
business and work OF the justices pre-
siding in the other FIVE branches. Ex-
perience in the past showed that, on ac-
count of the natural growth of business
in the District court. II is only by dint
Of hard work, and often overtime work,
that the justices presiding in the diff
ferent branches OF the court are able
10 dispose of the business demanding
their attention in term.
The existing vacancy on the bench
greatly increases the work of the in
oividuaI justices, as does the natural
growth of cases before the court from
year TO year IN addition to this the
Investigations II several of the gov
e1nmental departments has increased
the business of the court. This is no
ticeable In the litigation growing OUT OF
the investigation by the Postottce De-
partment the General Land Offlc,, and
what are known as the second class
matter postofficc eases.
Ali this has crowded the doclxets in
the Equity and Criminal branches OF
the court to overlooking. with small
prospects OF having them cleared during
the October and spring terms OF court.
Under the circumstances, the urgent
necessity for the appointment of mem
Der OF the bench 20 succeed Justice
Hagper seems apparent TO the law
yers. The question OF who viii be
nominated for the position has been
discussed by members of the District
bar since Justice Hagner retired. Rnt
one opinion is expressed, and that is
that the business of the court demands
a new member of the bench be apooint.
ed as early as possible, ana tifat he
should be a local man.
Although any competent lawyer will
be acceptable TO the Washington bar
1t is contended that under the present
condition of affairs IN the District court
local lawyer would be able immedi-
ately 70 relieve the situation, because OF
his knowledge of the practice in this
Jurisdiction While an outsider may in
time make an excellent Justice. as Is
admitted. FOR the present. v-hsn the
dockets OF the court are ove-crcwdcd
he could not handle the business with
the same dispatch as a District lawyer
For this reason alone members of the
bar hope the President will see the ad.
visibility of nominating local man as
successor to Justice Hagner.
