That Prohibition Laws are to be
Strictly Enforced

Fred S, Caldwell. State Enforcement

10 sheriffs and county attorneys through
out Oklahoma:
Il find that the Joint keeper boot
legears, and whiskey peddlers generally
throughout the state are constituting the
vote on the Agency question at the recent
election, as an endorsement Of their crimi-
nal practices In fact. some Of them have
the idea that the strict enforcement of
the liquor laws is no longer insisted upon.
and that the enforcement features Of
Senate Bin No. 81 stand repealed along
with the provision relative TO the State
Agency System. OF course you are aware
such is not the case. However, il will
doubtless have more or less of damaging
influence, and, unless promptly met by a
vigorous exercise of the strong arm of the
law will. in certain communities at least.
result in wave Of increased criminal
activity on the part Of liquor peddIers.
For this reason take this opportunity Of
urging upon you the necessity for great
diligence and activity in the discharge Of
your official duties pertaining to the strict
enforcement of the liquor laws Of the
state
Mr.. Caldwell denies the truthfulness Of
wild reports published in several news
papers that saloons and joints" were
being run wide open. but says he fears 70
allow these reports to 80 out without
warning the iointist and peddlers that the
law will be enforced as heretofore.

a special meeting OF the city ooun-
Gil was held Monday evening at the
city hall, all the aldermen with the
exception Of Alderman German being
present.
Alderman Wilczek spoke in behalf
Of Mrs. Hendrich, who resides on
Third street west. He stated that the
woman had 800 in local bank, but
that 1t had been so deposited that
she could only receive IS per month as
long as. it lasted, and that this was
not enough to live on. After some
elaboration the city council decided
to give her 81 per month, which, with
what she receives from the bank each
month, it was thought would prove
sufficient. 1.
Charles LaFond was granted per.
mission to dig in the street in front OF
the Little Falls Produce company s
store, where sewer connections were
to be made.

council IN behalf of Mrs. H. Joslin

left for the street committee to look

then discussed the matter of pressure
furnished by the Water Power com.
pany, and 1t was finally decided to
make a test of the pressure on the
following morning at O'Clock al
which all the members of the city
council were to be present. This
was done Tuesday morning as noted
in another column. ~ r.
The city clerk was instructed tt

1.-THE Hon. Nicholas Longworth pro
posed to 10000 American citizens in
Rock Island on Friday that Mr.. Taft
should be made president of the Uni
ted States for the next eight years and
Mr.. Roosevelt for the eight years fol-
lowing Mr.. Taft's second term.
"As Mr.. Longworth is President
Roosevelt's son-in-laW, his words are
accepted usually as semi-omcial for
the White House. This is the unfortu-
nate feature Of his utterance In the
present instance.
1.-THE American people are not look.
ing for lord protector. Even the
most ardent admirers Of Mr.. Roosevelt
would not care to make him another
Diaz. @'5.~-
with some eight years Of the presi-
dency behind him next March and
with eight years of Mr.. Taft before
him, Mr.. Roosevelt, according to his
son-in-law's ideas, would be able to
celebrate on March 4, 1925. nearly .
quarter Of a century Of personal rule
over this republic. So
"Such program 10 not one to be
announced just now, incredible and
impossible as it seems. Especially it
is not one to be announced from the
bosom of Mr.. Roosevelt's family. Good
politics and good taste are both against
such utterances.
aside from Mr.. Longworth's plain
assumption that Mr.. Taft's two terms
would not constitute even . substan-
tial interregnum-with which no real
friend of Mr. Taft can agree-such re-
marks regarding the institution Of a
Roosevelt dynasty are not only shock
ing but absolutely damaging to tho
Republican candidate and the Repub-
lican party"
Speaking of the Longworth incident,
Mr. Josephus Daniels, chairman Of the
publicity bureau at Democratic head
quarters, said:
"The people may take It in their
heads in November to knock Mr..
Longworth's nice family arrangement
in the head by going outside the close
corporation and family monopoly Of
the presidency That would be sad
for the son-in-law, but good for the
country. The remark Of Mr.. Long
worth shows that long tenures in Of
nee for one party makes those n
power think they own the government
If for no other reason than to teach
the son-in-law and others near the
throne that this IL q republic, the
voters will decide upon q change n
