The Pool Hall Case

The recent prosecution and re-
mittance Of the fine of one of the
proprietors of a pool hall here this
week has opened a new a question
which has a fair foundation for al
argument on both sides. On one
side is the father, asking the as
sistance of the law in helping reg
ulate his family, and on the other
hand the council, which has taken
the view usually taken by courts,
that of leniency to first offenders.
We do not believe that the coun-
Gil should be condemned for its
action in renting the fine, as
this was the first offense of the
defendant, and he seemed to have
been misled into thinking the min
ar was of age. If the prosecution
Of this case, and its ultimate out
come results in more rigid en-
forcement of the ordinance which
prohibits minors to play pool in
Liberal, it will be well and good.
If however, there is a repetition
Of the offense, we believe that the
offender should be prosecuted,
and no leniency shown.

Broomcorn

The low prices for the big crop
of broomcorn in 1910, seem to
have reacted on the industry, for
this year there we're only SO, 1868
acres planted, against 111,3OS
acres the year before. Naturally
the total output is much reduced,
although in the central and ex-
treme southwestern counties aver
age yields we're we'll maintained.
The yieldtor the state is SO per

value is only "A per cent less, ow-

The Mcnamara Confession


And other items of interest the
past week have been the principle
topic of conversation, but now an
other event is drawing near, one
in which we are all interested. We
all feel we must remember our
friends or loved ones with some
token of our love and affection.
Every store has its Christmas Of
fering, but as the years go by,
people are using better JUDGMENT
in these matters. Useful articles
have taken the place of the foolish
trumpery, which is seldom appre-
ciated, soon broken and gone.
A new pair of SHOES, especially
those particular kinds that the kids
all want make a most appropriate
present. We have just received
a big line of children's shoes.
GOOD SHOES TOO, not merely
for Christmas presents but stuff
that looks nice and wears a long
time, and just what the kids like
too. In this line we have II dozen
or IA pair of Jocky Boots run
ming So, 8-11, 11-2, which were
bought at a big discount and we
are going to give you the benefit
They are the most stylish thing
possible, big high tops with patent
cuffs and that's not all, they are
serviceable and warm. We will
not quote prices here, haven't
space, but suffice it to say they
are going at about 10 price. Our
big sample line is growing smaller
every day and every day your
chances of getting in on this are
growing less. They are going at
about ! price. Don't delay, OPP
portunity won't knock at your
door every morning just about
the time you are ready to get up
and let him in. We also have a
big line of Mems high top lace
boots full elk skin sole and all,
and absolutely waterproof. The
same boot you see illustrated in
Sears Roebuck catalog at 1915,
our price full 70 inch, $500 while
they last. If we had the use OF
this entire paper, we could still
tell you of bargai ms we have tor
you in shoes. See us before you

MILLIONS FOR JAPANESE NAVY

Toxic, Dec. 1S.-A naval program
calling for the expenditure of S175,'
100000 in the next seven years VIII
be submitted to the diet today and
will certainly be passed, as it has the
approval of the mikado. The program
provides for the laying down of five
first-class battleships of 10000 tons
each, with 14-inch guns, during the
next two years, and many smaller
craft.
Vast sums will also be spent by
Japan in the coming year for army
extension and improvement. There is
well defined belief in diplomatic
circles here that the great military
and naval activity of the japanese
government is due to project Tor
gobbling up China. Japanese officials
believe that Chinese affairs will soon
reach a crisis which will afford ex
cuse for Nippon stepping in as the
controller of Chinese destinies in the
interest of peace" The Philippines
and all the American and European
colonies in East Asia are also coveted
by Japan.
