Where Laws Enforced

The saloonists pick out few cities in Maine where the
prohibition law is violated like the laws against prosu
ton in Chicago and because the law is violated and there
for drunkenness they expect the people to be-
lieve that good law is a bad thing. They might just
well say that the laws against prostitution bad thing
for Chicago.
They will not pick the cities in Maine where the pro
hbton law enforced and consequently few arrests for
drunkenness. Here is a list of such cities.

Five counts are embraced in the in.

Describing the inside working Of

an agreement, under which they were
severally to purchase for shipment
from the south to New York all the
cotton not directly absorbed by the
demands of foreign and domestic

sued to various organizations through.
out the country. Within few days,
however, the committee was flooded
with so many applications that the pa
rade feature had to be in part aban-
doned. Organizations from Maine to
California and from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes requested places in the
line Of march, and if the project had
been carried out, the procession would
have extended from the Battery to the
Harlem river and back again, dis.
lance of 20 miles, and the people who
had travelled hundreds of miles to see
Roosevelt would have been deprived
Of the pleasure. In order to overcome
this obstacle SO that no one would be
offended, unique arrangement was
adopted by the committee. All Or
CARNATIONS that wished to participate
in the parade were assigned certain
blocks along the line of march; for
instance, one or two blocks were as.
signed to some visiting club, and the
next to the public, and so on.
The procession itself was compare.
lively small and was led by the mount.
ed police of New York, who were fol.
lowed by the police band on foot.
Then came the escort of 500 Rough
Riders under the command of Robert
Hunter of Oklahoma city, president
of the organization. Colonel Roose-
welt came next in carriage, and his
carriage was followed by long pro-
cession of vehicles containing the
members of the committee and the
speakers.
The procession made its way up
Broadway to Fourth street. where it
turned into Fifth avenue and proceed
ed up that thoroughfare to Fifty-ninth
street, where it disbanded. The
route was lined with visiting organi-
cations, and their bands struck up as
the procession approached and con-
tinued until it had passed by.
In order that Mrs Roosevelt might
share in her husbands honors and
view the procession from an advan-
tageous point, Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean, president of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, had
cabled her an invitation to be-
the guest of honor at luncheon
at sherry's rendered by prominent
members of various female organiza.
