CONGRESSMAN
HUMPHREYS AT WORK
He Wants the Blind Tigers
Eliminated

A Washington, special of the
9Th says:
"Bills having for their object
the doing away with blind tigers
we're introduced in the house to-
day by Representative Humph-
reys Of Mississippi. Two bills
were offered, one to prohibit
internal revenue agents from
issuing licenses in communities
where the sale of liquor is pro-
hibited by the state, and the other
is to compel internal revenue
agents to show their records
containing the names of persons
to whom licenses have been is
sued"
This bill should be passed by
all means and then the Legislature
in states where prohibition pre-
vailing should enact law making
its felony to sell or drink blind
tiger whiskey.

which will permit a railroad to run
one steam train an hour will pay for
the cost Of running all electric train
every four minutes. according to the

steam train service is fifteen times
