Prohibition and Violation of Law.

Through current press dispatches
comes the information that officials of
the internal revenue bureau of the
United States treasury department are
troubled by the increasing number of
violations of the internal revenue laws
in the southern states which have
adopted prohibition. Not only are
liquors struggled into the states in
large quantities but the distillation Of
ILLICIT whisky is rapidly increasing.
This is especially true in Alabama,
Georgia and North Carolina.
This is the beginning of an evil
that will have to be looked after vigi-
lantly, and which will require the best
efforts of state and federal authorities
to overcome. Wherever the sale and
use of stimulating drinks have been
common the sudden prohibition If
them must necessarily result in efforts
to obtain these drinks by all the in
genuity of which men are capable.
This history of prohibition in those
states in which it has prevailed for a
number of years attests beyond the
possibility of doubt that prohibitive
laws do not prohibit, though they may
diminish the use of liquors They MAY
prevent in most communities the omen
sale of such liquors but they drive
the business of selling liquors into
private places and by clandestine
methods, often to such an extent that
the influence becomes worse than UNI
der the system of license. The max
ing of liquors, vile connections by
chemical methods and the use of dis
titled liquors of the poorest quality are
increased. OF course, those who con
tinuc. in the business in violation of
the law, knowing that their property
is liable to seizure at any moment in
vest in their business the smallest
amount of capital possible, and the re-
suit is the poorest article. combined
with surroundings and associations #
the most discreditable and demoraliz
ing character. Since these are known
to be conditions liable to follow eff
forts to prevent the sale of liquor
prohibition, wherever it is adopted
should be accompanied by measures
TO minimize the evils here referred to
And If they cannot be measurabiy
diminished then the methods of com
pulsory prohibition on The statewide
plan must be regarded as failure
In country districts and in smaller
communities the difficulty in enforcing
prohibition has not been SO great, but
in the larger communities it has neve,
yet been accomplished. And it i.
doubtful whether it ever viii be unit
the people have been more fully edu
Gated in, and accustomed to the dis
use of stimulating drinks.

NEAREST ARE DEAREST.

There are many kinds nj trouble
Roaming round the world at lafge,
Some that cost YOU ready money,
Some the trouble man will charge,
But the brand that your attention
Gets you may as well allow
And makes light of all the others
Is the one that strikes you now.
Troubles of some other season
That when present did not please
Are as last years birds nests swinging
In the bare and leafiess trees.
And the troubles that are coming
Do not fill you with dismay
Even though they may be frightfui
If they're far enough away.
Though your patient heart was broken
When the case was fresh and new.
Distance lends its rare enchantment
In about a year or two.
You can smile in recollection
Even though IL left you broke.
And il il is gone forever
You can treat 1t as a joke.
But the ones that now are pressing,
That at present hold you tight.
Though they may be only trif1es.
Keep you sitting up at night.

As a fellow up tree.
You can see they are but atoms

COURT HAS POWER
Attorney Kellogg Argues That
Bench May Dissolve Stan
dard Oil.
COMBINATION is ILLEGAL
Common Law Declared to Have In
validated 1t at Time of the
Original Agreement.

ST. Louis. Mo-, April 6.-Government
Attorney kellogg this morning resum-
ed his argument in the governments
case to dissolve the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey. He discussed the
law points applicable, according to his
contention to the proper Interpretation
of the Sherman act.
Holds Common Law Applied.
The crux of the argument was the
original 20 companies involved in the
trust agreement of 1879 and 1882 Were
at that time competitive and the agree
ment was illegal under then existing
common law, and the trust was there
fore void. The same conspiracy to
monopolize and restrain commerce had
existed continuously until the present
day, bringing the defendants well with
in the purview of the existing Sherman
law, he insisted.
Holds Court Has Power.
As final proposition of law, Kel-
logg stated that IF the court finds the
combination to be in restraint of trade
land monopoly, it has not only the
power to enjoin the defendants, but
possesses as well the plcnary power
TO enforce the terms and provisions of
the Sherman law" A score or more of
decisions were cited supporting this
contention.
Morrison Takes Up Thread.
Kellogg completed the opening argu-
ment just before noon, and former
United States District Attorney Morri-
son of Chicago took up the thread of

lpecially on alleged unfair competition
