The commission appointed by the
Governor TO investigate the liquor
traffic in regards to the observing of
the Bishops law has found the law
disregard i'll Atlantic City and the of1iei-
ais have confessed they have made no
efforts TO enforce the law. What is the
Governor going to do about officials of
his W appointment who disregard
their oaths of Office? If we remember
correctly a prominent official of Salem
county was appointed to investigate
Atlantic City. If The Investigation
was eve held it must have been
privately. 1t would never do to show
up the political ro~ttenness of Atlantic
City.

Members Of Congress. hurrying past
the rooms of the House Committee on
the District of Columbia today stood
rooted TO the floor of the corridor, and
messengers loitered on their way.
From the committee rooms came such
sweet waves of melody as Orpheus
might have started. The music wan
dered over the transom, weirdly sweet
and sweetIy weird. IL was the voice OF a
flute. a flute awakened to life by the tai
ent OF a master. II sounded Ike the
ripple of a brook against banks of bios
SONS beneath a summer sky. ike
visions OF Heaven-like dreams Of first
love and kisses.
The harmony fell on the ears of the
lawmakers like a behediction, and broke
the silence OF the halls with notes soft
as a lady's whisper.
Finally, a view was had of the interior
OF these rooms. whence the wealth Of
music came. In one corner sat ste
nographer, blowing rings of meditative
smoke into the ambient atmosphere. In
another corner, a second stenogTapher,
lulled by the torrent OF tones, fixed
dreamy eyes on space and thought of
sweetheart far away. In a big arm
chair. the messenger OF the committee,
moved by the pathos OF the flute, ruined
the new carpet with plenteous tears.
