Does Prohibition Prohibit?

Among the arguments put forth by
those who favor licensing the saloon,
is this one: that prohibition does not
prohibit. 1t is the same old question
that agitated the public mind at the
time Of the formation or the republic
at that time there were plenty or
people who said: ''this republic can
never endure" Did the prohibition
of slavery prohibit human bondage?
Yet there were thousands who said
"the slave laws will never be enforc-
ed" If prohibition does not prohibit,
then who is in fault tor this state Of
affairs? Is it the citizens or is it the
officials whose duty it is to enforce
the laws? Or is it the fault or both?
1t is an easy thing to blame the legal
machinery for not enforcing the laws
as found upon the statute books.
Then this inquiry. becomes potent.
Who put these laws upon the statute
books? Were tney made To be en-
forced, or were they made to be wink
ed at? Mr.. Citizen, are YOU taking
any of this legal responsibility? Are
YOU doing YOUR duty? If not. why
not?
1t might be proper at this time TO
define one element Of GOOD CITIZEN
SHIP, and it is this: To take it upon
ourselves individually to see that
every law is respected aud To become
one who will see that the laws are en-
forced. That does not necessarily
mean the Inauguration OF a spy sys-
tern TO pry into the private business
of every citizen, but it does mean
that If you know law or public act
that is made by our legislature for the
welfare Of the whole state, is not
being enforced, that you for one will
see To it that the law is respected.
How much better il the man who de-
liberately stands by and sees the laws
of his country disgraced and he not
have manhood enough to bri lg tn he
law breaker before the proper court TO
answer Tor his misdemeanOr or crime,
than criminal?
No man has any right to the pro-
lection of the laws, If he will deliber-
ately stand by and see the laws brok-
en-, or is a party TO seeing the laws
violated without protest, but as IA
matter of fact, the laws are as well or
better enforced in local option dis
tricts than in ice Sc districts as is
proven by statistics and Oi the expert
ence Of citizens who have lived under
both conditions.
No good can come from the coward
ly arguments put forth by the liquor
interests. aud the citizen who puts
| forth such arguments, llbels the laws
0f his country aud is disgrace to
good citizenship. Then we appeal to
you in the name Of good citizenship y and
honor, to either stop talking about
the nOn-enforcement of the laws or
| get TO the front as q man and help to
see that the laws are properly enforc-
| ed, or leaye the country rather than
disgrace yourself at home.
1t is unjust of any man to expect
that HIS liberty or property shall be
| protected by the law unless he exer-

The Smooth Way.


In the last generation Tyler Cobb,
Esq. was well known citizen Of
North Bridgewater, now Brockton.
Mass. He was famous throughout
Plymouth county for his witty retorts
and dry humor.
Never having taken a sea trip, Mr..
Cobb one day conceived the idea Of
making voyage to New York. Ac-
cordingly he sailed from Boston In a
small schooner. The first day out a
storm was encountered and Mr.. Cobb
became violently sick, but after sew
eral hours he mustered up courage and
strength to look out upon the troubled
waters. s.. ,
As he looked from the side Of the
little ship up the trough Of the sea 1t
seemed very smooth to him. The cap
tain's cutting Of the waves was sense
less. he told himself. But as this mad
steering continued the unhappy pas
senger finally crawled' out on, hands
and knees to where the captain stood
at the wheel and, raising his voice
above the din Of waves and wind,
shouted:
'Man, man, keep In the ruts. keep In
the riits!''

Two Hi.s AZ Wood.

Importance cannot be reduced to
matter Of size. The success Of a piece
of work may depend on tiny detail.
Such is the case In regard to that
marvel of construction, the violin.
Rev. II. Il, Haweis in his my Musical
Life" tells of the care and labor ex-
pended on two little pieces of wood
which go to make up the perfect
whole. The sound bar is strip of
pine wood running obliquely under the
left foot OF the bridge. A slight mis-
take In its position, looseness or in
equality or roughness of finish win
produce that hollow, teeth ON edge
growl called wolf" 1t takes great
cunning and a life Of practical study
to know how long and how thick the
sound bar must be and exactly where
to place II In each instrument. The
sound post is little pine prop, like q
short bit Of cedar pencil 1t Is the
soul Of the violin, and through It pours
all vibrations. Days and weeks are
spent in adjusting the tiny sound post.
Its position exhausts the patience Of
the maker and makes the Joy or the
misery Of the player.

There are avaIuncbss OF dI&>fsnt

is used 1t is generally supposed to sp-
ply to falls Of great bodies Of snow o.
ice, says Mr.. Edward whymper In the
London Strand magazine. One of the
frst occasions Of this kind which at
tracted attention took place in 1920,
upon Mont Blanc, and II is commonly
called the Hamel accident. DR.. Hamel,
a russian, set out on Aug. 1S to 90 up
Mont Blanc, accompanied by two Eng
lishmen and eight guides. They had
ascended to q height OF more than
$4,000 feet, with Ave guides In front,
who were cutting or making steps,
when all at once the snow above them
gave way, and the members Of the
party were carried down thousand
feet or more over the slopes up which
they had toiled Snow again broke
away above and more or less covered
them. Some Of them struggled out,
but three Of the leading guides were
hurled into a crevasse and buried un-
der an immense mass Of snow. The
bodies Of these men reappeared at the
foot Of the glacier thirty years after.

they delivered. And Peggy Moore the
Newark giant had everything. But

FARRELL'S HITTING

Red Farrell, he who will be Yam
kee before many weeks are gone, is
hitting at n wonderful rate just now
and constantly crawling higher in
the percentage column, although he
already leads the league in hitting.
In the last II times he has been at
bat, Farrell has made IL safe hits,
every one of which has been a clean,
sharp drive. The Red Topper to-
day has made more hits than any
other player in the league, although
ne has played in ten less games than
some. To date he has been at bat
849 times, has made III hits and Is
batting 1896 a wonderful record In
a league noted for the excellence

There was no longer any doubt
about the contest and in the seventh

harder, Handlboe called the game.
One of the features OF the game
aside from Parsons clever t@irling

was tagged for extra bases. Joe Schrall
was the offender against Newark on
