BobHanpton
Of Placer
BY
RANDALL PARRISH
NEW DAILY SERIAL
BEGINS IN
Tonorrow's
Saturday Star
First Chapter Not To Be Missei

hSt NAoPtSI A~Ot - bS lVllSSS }
Randall Parrish's stories
have reached remarkable
popularity, and this new novel
is undoubtedly the best. Bob
Hampton of Placer" takes the
reader into a new field. The
scenes are laid in Wyoming
and Montana at the time of
the Sioux uprising in 1876.
Into the breathless narrative
has been woven a charming
love story of the absorbing
kind in which Mr.. Parrish ex-
cells, with a mystery for the
reader to unravel.
American literature owes
much to Mr.. Parrish. and he
is increasing the debt still
more and more with every
new volume. There is none
other among the noteworthy
writers of the day just like
him, and very few in the
notable army who have pre-
coded him.
If the long-sought and oft
prophesied American novel
were to be selected from the
fiction that has already been
written on this side of the big
water, it would not be strange
if the mark of pure gold were
to fall upon one of the four
remarkable stories that Ran
dali Parrish has placed upon
the worlds shelves.
There will be those in any
number who will contend that
this last series of western
pictures is his best. and GER
tain it is that he has never
done better descriptive work
than in his dramatic story Of
the Little Big Horn, the trag-
cdy which ended the promis-
ing career of General Custer
and gave a new definition to
the word horror.

did not do so because of the belief the
prisoner might be taken out of Jail last
night following the announcement When
the decision was rendered this morning At
torney George B. Merrick made a motion
for a new trial. and, pending the granting
or rejection of the motion, Proctor was re-
turned to the jail here. Judge Merrick did

liquor from a license state into the
dry territory of another state, making
railroad depots and express offices the
substitutes for saloons, such interstate
commerce control being vested exclu
sively in Congress.
By these methods the enemies of state
liquor laws have been able to arm the
violator of law with a government IL
cense" inside "dry" territory, while re-
ceiving and selling liquors shipped to
him c. O. D. by some brewer or dis
tiller from outside license territory.
Thus have the brewers and distillers
added to their defiance of law in the
states and abuse and perversion of the
functions of the federal government.
The perversion of government is no
less detrimental to the success of free
institutions dependent upon its mainte
nance, than is the open defiance of all
authority. In some instances it may
work a greater detriment than open de-
fance. The opposition of the federal
government to the orderly and constitu-
tional progress of the states can but
weaken confidence at home and reflect
upon us abroad.
The triumph of the Prohibition party
locally and nationally means the carry
ing forward of the constructive policy
in Our nation in accordance with the
spirit and letter of the federal constitu-
ton and the laws of the various states,
the substitution of comfy and co-opera-
ton by the federal government with the
states in overthrowing the enemies of
peace and order within state territory,
where opposition to such effort now ex-
lists, and the supremacy of peace and
order everywhere In a word, the tri-
umph of the Prohibition party means to
declare anew, to friend and foe alike,
the sufficiency of the Republic.

GOOD OR BAD WHISKY,
WHICH?

EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL PRoH1BI-
ZIONIST The writer's attention was at
tracted by an article in your paper of
December IL, entitled "Bad Whisky"
1t called to mind recent discussion he
had with contractor and builder as to
which does most harm, good or bad
whisky. He contended that the good
whisky was not harmful, and your cor
respondent held that the good whisky
(so-called) was. the worst, because it
contained most alcohol.
Since we could not agree, we mutu-
ally decided to let the proprietor of the
restaurant where we happened to be,
decide the question. He had been an
old hotel keeper and many barrels of
whisky had been sold over his bar, and
consequently we concluded he would be
a good judge.
The question was put in this manner
(Which does most harm, good or bad
whisky?" His reply was Transfers
whisky does the least harm. That kind
was a new brand to us, and led us to
inquire what transfers whisky might be.
He said, "That is the kind composed
mostly of water"
He said that the good" whisky made
the teamsters drunk quicker, and that
they would fall off the wagons, and the
teams would run away, and likely do
damage. According to this old land
lords experience, it is not as the dis
tillers say that the bad whisky has
caused the uprising of Prohibition, but
to the contrary, the use of the ESQ.,
called) good" whisky. 1t is the So
called good" whisky that is filling our
jails, poor houses and insane asylums,
and that is proving so burdensome to
us as a people from financial stand
point

HIBIT."
Detroit. Mich.

EDITOR NATIONAL PRoH1BIT1oNIsT =
There is something far more important
than the mere question of fact in the
oft-repeated charge of the liquor men
that Prohibition doesn't prohibit"
Properly interpreted that charge means
denial of the self-suficiency of a re-
publican form of government, inasmuch
as it means that the liquor interests have
been able, according to their own state
ment, to defy or defeat all laws aiming
to eliminate the evils of the drink traffic.
We may as we'll face the more impor-
tant aspect. Is there a -sufficiency
in the Republic to overcome this insidi-
Gus, internal foe, the drink traffic? The
Republic has proven self-suficient as
against external force, as we'll as inter
nal dissensions, and now faces its third
trial in the defiance of those who set
this evil traffic higher than the will of
the majority and obedience to law.
In giving substance to the cry that
Prohibition doesn't prohibit" the brew
ers and distillers have thus far been able
to boast the powerful support of two
dominant political parties, favoring the
principle of license, offering no SYM
pathy or support as national organiza-
tons to states or sections of states
seeking to overthrow the evil, but op-
position to such experiment instead.
Through these dominant political or
CARNATIONS the brewers and distillers
control the functions of the federal
government, thereby preventing a fair
trial of Prohibition at any point The
opposition manfests itself in two ways
1. The sale of tax receipts ("govern-
ment licenses") to "speak-easies," blind
tigers" blind pigs" "hole-in-the- walp
men, and all other applicants for tax
receipts who are trampling state liquor
laws under foot
2. The interstate shipment of C. 0. D.

MATTERS OF NOTE

spite of the local majorities for no.
license in that state, the people of the
state, as a whole, would not vote for
no-license in Boston. Perhaps not
yet.
