I'm force The Law.
Greensboro Record.)

GreenSDOrO RECORD.
Advice is cheap, but seldom
hurts. The prohibitionists hav.
ing won a victory that even as
tonished them, their next move
should be to take steps to see
that the law is not violated.
Reference is had not so much to
the blind tiger as to blockade dis
tilleries. The United States gov
ernment has been maintaining a
force of revenue menin this state
at an expense OF about $780,
600 a year, deriving from the IL
quor traffic some 100000 per
year. There has never been any
sentiment in this on the part Of
the government; ithas been pure
ly business; this force was main-
tanned to protect the men who
paid the tax and the license fee.
Now, that no more distillers IL
censes will be issued is North Car.
olina it is quite evident that no
band Of revenue raiders will be
kept up. OF course there will be a
revenue officer or two stationed
at all centers, but what the late
Senator Vance used to call "rev-
enue doodlers' will soon be out
OF q Job. 1t can be safely said
that out OF ten men who want to
engage in blockading, nine are
deferred by fear of the United
States courts fear OF the "reve-
nuers." The State law provides
punishment, but it is nothing
like as drastic as the laws ofUn-
Gle Sam, 80 that 1T is probable
we shall haye more blockade dis
tilleries than ever before, for the
execution OF the law will eventu-
ally be left to county and State
officers. These ere elective off,
GERS and we can all see what is
going to happen. In some coun-
ties the law will be fairly well en-
forced; in Others it will not, forit
is not a pleasure to be poking
around after blockade stills, with
nine chances against you. Block
aders will shoot when crowded
and it is dangerous. What is
needed is a reinforcement of pub
lie opinions, causinglikewise less
dema nd for, ardent spirits. 70 r
where there is demand there will
be an effort to supply it.
The maximum penalty under
the State law for blockading is
two years, light enough to cause
many men to take the risk when
it is known that State officers
must enforce the law. Locally we
do not apprehend much trouble,
but take Durham county, where
blockaders are captured almost
every week or two, the county
will be full Of them and it will
spread, with the return OF the old
time way Of transportation by
wagons at dead of night.
The fight has just begun and
it is up to the prohibit!onists and
all loyers Of good government to
get busy.

BY Trolley To The Fair.

Keeping pace with the management
of the State Fair which began Thurs
day of this week at Detroit, the man
agement of the Rapid Railway System
has completed plans to give a banner
service for the accommodation of Wis
itors to this great state exposition.
During all the fair the full schedule
of this popular electric line will be
maintained with an ample supply of
cars for every run both from Port HUI
ron and Detroit. The limited cars on
this run, which give the people a fast
ride free from smoke and dust, leave
Port Huron at Z: :35 and 1875 a. m. and
1886 and 6:35 p. m. These cars make
the run in two hours and ten minutes
from Port Huron to the Detroit city
hall
During the fair passengers on paying
the city fare, which is included in the
advertised rates, may, if they desire to
go straight to the grounds, secure trans
fers for this purpose by asking for
Woodward avenue transfers. This
will make ride within the city limits
and out to the grounds of fourteen
miles for five cents.

A DEADLY PARALLEL.

Under the head of "a Coincidence, -
last weeks Record came out with an
awful slap on our wrist. 1t certainly
made us writhe with shame and NOR
tilication to learn that we had been
running political dope that was not en-
tirely homemade, while the Record had
only original matter-that our political
dope emanated from the fertile brain
of an advertising agent while theirs
was the product of their own editors
pen. Almost they had persuaded us to
believe them, when we happened to re-
call several obituaries published in the
Record within the past year which read
sword for word alike" with issues of
the Western Publisher of 1902 and pre-
vious years. Consistency, thou art a
jewel" If our contemporary would
stoop to do this we don't think they
would hesitate one moment about us
ing "canned political dope" Next
time they wish to publish obituaries
not their own we would advise them to
search the most ancient copies of pa
pers that we do not take. A list of
those we receive will be furnished on
application.

CAPITAL STOCK INCREASED.

Cashier Learmont has received from
Banking Commissioner Zimmerman a
certificate showing the increase of paid
up capital of the Yale State Bank. At
recent meeting of stockholders the
capital and surplus of this bank was
increased by S7,100 paid in. The stock
representing this amount has been dis
tributed among a number of substan-
tial citizens and business men of the
city of Yale and surrounding cOmmu-
mites. The substantial growth and
sound business management of the
Yale State Bank is certainly a credit
to its officers and directors and bene-
fit to the city and surrounding commu-
mites.

The Best Man For Good Of Town

The best man we have in our town
for the general good of the town is the
one you always see on the front seat in
the progressive "band wagon" lie is
the first to extend an open and warm
hand to greet the stranger and welcome
him to the best town in the state. He
will resent an insult to our town as
quickly as he would slur at a member
of his family. He very politely invites
the chronic croaker to move on. He is
ever ready to give just proportion to
every public enterprise. He talks our
town up at home and abroad and be-
lieves it is the best place on Gods green
earth i'm which to liye and desires to
be buried here when he dies. Let us
all try and be like this man for one
year and our little city will take on new
life and improve as never before in its
history.

Don't Be Pleasant AT All.

Don't look on the bright side of any
thing. Don't permit yourself to see
good in anyone. Don't have any charity
for your erring brother or sister. If
you have any of the milk of human
kindness in your heart, curdle it in
some way. Believe that all men, and
women too are liars, and the truth is
not in them. Find fault with your
fellowman. Say mean things about
your neighbor; envy her; hate her; seek
your own; scrap If you don't get it;
think evil rejoice in iniquity; endure
nothing; believe nothing, and if you
are not completely miserable and un-
happy it is because you have not yet
quenched the last spark of love in your
being.

Largest Load OF Oats.

The largest load of oats ever drawn
to the elevators of our town by a single
team was pulled to Wharton d Co. IS
elevator on Saturday last by Alex Rob-
ertson's team. The load which was
piled high on narrow box contained
1920 pounds, or 30 pounds over $40
bushels. This load was drawn from
Mr.. Robertson's farm a. miles east of
Yale and il took him nearly half a day
to get here. There has been some
goodnatured rivalry over whose team
is the best drawer, but we think Mr..
Robertson has placed the mark so high
that everyone will be kept quiet for a
time. Mr.. Robertson's team won the
free-forall pulling match Fourth Of
July.

OUTLOOK is SPLENDID.

The school bells on Monday again
called the pupils to school after the
summer vacation. While some were
reluctant to go, yet nearly all packed
up their books with the determination
to win high honOrs in the recitation

full of interest and enthusiasm are very
bright. The pupils haye entered into
their studies prepared to do good work

other cities Des Moines is governed
by a commission with concentrated
power and responsibility. The plan
is to offer the scarlet women oppor-

support and encouragement be held
out to those attempting better lives.
The ultimate purpose is to absolutely

The problem is one of the most diff

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.

With the calling of a grand jury
this morning commences one of the
most important court sessions ever
held in the county. It is the opening
OF the first term Of court since the law
was passed which leaves the indicting
power entirely with grand juries. Then
OF top of this comes the multitude of
liquor selling cases. upon the proper
handling Of which much depends.
As to the particular cases to be
brought before the grand jury the
East Oregonian has nothing to say
They are now with the grand jurr
and the court
But in a general way this paper re-
joices, as all good citizens must re-
jcice. at the turn affairs have taken.
The prosecutions will be a welcome
thing for the community. TIE prohi-
bition law was adopted by the people
Of Umatilla county with deliberation
and forethought. 1t was adopted be-
cause the people thought it would be
a good thing and the majority in ia
vor Of the law was overwhelming. By
flagrantly breaking the law as they
have done the ex-saloon men have
shown an utter disregard for the
wishes Of the people.
When the votes were counted last
June and it was found that prohlbi-
ton had carried District Attorney
Phelps Immediately announced that
the statute would be enforced. Since
that time other warnings have been
given. The East Oregonian itself has
frequently told the ex-saloon men that
they were following a course that
meant deep trouble for themselves.
But the warnings were all unheed-
ed and with practically open defiance
those men continued to violate the
law daily, if not hourly They now
find themselves in the tolls with pros
poets of receiving much harder pun
ishment than they desire But the
fault is theirs.

Have you suffered the fate of silent

And contempt too great for speech ?
Have you heard the cry of "Put him

As they land as but mawleys can?

Cnha,s Orangc CrOp.

Consul Max ]. Baehr. of ClenfuegOs
reports that 100000 crates is a con-
servative estimate of this years Gu
ban orange crop which will be the
largest in the history of the island.
Until n few years ago thousands of
crates of oranges were brought to
Cuba from Florida and California
every year, but for the last three sea-
sons these shipments have become
less, and will possibly cease entirely
within another year. Orange cultiva~
tion on 2 scientific scale did not begin
in Cuba until about eight or nine
years ago, and may be considered in
its infancy, but Is progressing rapidly,
and even at this early stage Is now In
position to supply the local markets.
The orange business on the island Is
almost entirely by Amerl-
cans.
