whole town is several months be-
hind with hauling now and spring has
hardly opened yet.
Now all this foolishness is going
to make the town grow until 1t will
take a half a day to walk across it
and that will necessitate street cars
and more automobiles and they will
be running into some one now and
then, and heaven only knows where
this trouble Is going to stop.
Now, all this hurts like thunder
and makes life hardly worth living.
Why, property is advancing in price
here now at the rate Of 10 per cent
per month and If you own a little lot
some where in Hickman, every man
you meet is trying to buy II and of
fering two or three times what IL
cost you, because they can see still

long until Hickman property will be-
so high that none but the rich can

for us is that Mississippi Valley Tran
portation Co. They are going to put
ON a regular fleet of great big steam
boats twice as large as any that have
ever run the river and constructed
so as to run at any stage of the wa
ter with full cargo and We will be
annoyed with them every day. winter
and summer, and Hickman's freight
rates will be so low that every town
their goods shipped to Hickman ana
haul them In wagons through the
country, which will blcSIade our
roads so that our own people will
have lots Of trouble getting To town.
Then, some upstart will begin to agi-
tate gravel roads and there comes
more expense. Gravel roads will
make 1t so easy to get to town that
no matter what We may have to do
at home II we have a few thousand
pounI of cotton, corn or anything
else TO sell we will run off to town
with it and lose seveal hours from
our work at home and the pulling
will be SO light that a mule will run
away up hill no matter how heavy
the load
But all of this is nothing, compar-
ed with what low freight rates and
lots of trains and steam boats is GO
ing TO do to our people, when every
old factory in the country begins to
come to Hickman, with their old
black grease and noise and rumble
and their old whistles blowing off
three or four times day, worrying
the people half to death. and working
a lot of men 8 TO 10 hours a day like
slaves, and when Saturday night
comes and they pay off the men the
poor clerks in the stores will have
to work until 10 or IL o'clock selling
them goods. All this monkey bust
ness will ruin any town on earth and
still a lot of Hickman people are
right in for it.
The town has not been acting nat

in those states where and at the time when prohibition has been attempted
 Regulation which seeks to prevent abuses of a trade by working on ths distribution of its products, works at a disa dvan because it seeks to regulate the peoples demand withous regard to the causes of that demand
 The needs of more than eighty per cent. of the people have called into existence the liquor trade, the pro- judgment has declared by usage to be wholesome. The people are seeking to hinder individual abuse ae far as possible by regulating the distribu- tion of the product Beyond tha help this may give, remedy can ba found only in the constitution of tts individuals in whom turks the danger in and to the community.
 Macaulay gave as one definition of history that it was a series of experi- ments in government. At no distant day the people and the trade of this country will have completed their ex< periments in regulation, and from those experiments will have drafted a system of regulation which will ac~ complish maximum of good, and re< lieve the liquor industry from the harassment of uncertainty and mis4 take to which, in the past, it haa been subjected
 Far from opposing just and weIl- considered regulat1On the trade has been always it's foremost advocate Opposition to pernicious and danger{ ous forms of regulation has at timef been mistaken for opposition to ali regulation. The members of the trade are more familiar with the good and the bad, the successful and the unsuccessful in regulation, than any other section of the public.
 It is the duty of the liquor radd to show sturdy compliance with tho laws as they are. Bad laws tempt disc obedience, and this Is more natur< al when the laws forbid things not felt by the mass of the people to ba unreasonable. Bad Iaws enforced and compiled with hasten their own in1- provement. Laws cannot stand which, in their effect, defy the will and ths belief fof the people.
 So long as the trade stands firmly in the position of obedience to pre- sent regulation and shows a willing ness honestly to do it's share in the improvement of the laws, 1t will ba worthy Of the function which thS public has deiegated to 1t, and will do it's share toward reaching thai maximum of efficiency in regulation for all concerned which the public at large desires and eventually win secure.

Paint Insults
 On Sidewalks
Three Prominent Yale Students Arrested as Result of Epi-
 thets to Professor

New Haven, June 7.--Because they decorated the sidewalk in several places and the house at 125 High street with unpleasant epithets cou- pied with the name of Carl Oscar Johns, an instructor in chemistry in the Sheffield Scientific school, three Shelf. freshmen, George Phillips Or lady, a son of Justice Orlady of the Pennsylvania supreme court, Herbert Henry Lang of this city and John Francis MacElhinny' of Port Wash ington. N r., were placed under ar rest late yesterday afternoon by De- tective Sergeant Henry J. Donnelly. While the affair has been more or less hushed up it was learned that it has caused . decided sensation in college circles. The inscriptions were put on early Sunday morning with tar and blue paint in letters nearly a foot high and in addition to this the three students called up MT. Johns over the telephone, getting him out of bed about three o'clock in the morning, and, it is alleged, used vile language to him.
 All three men implicated in the af- fair are prominent men in their class. Orlady comes from Huntington, Penn sylvania, and is of prominent fam fly there. Herbert Lang, the New Haven boy, is a we'll known musician ana pays the violin With prominent musical organizations For a short time he played with the orchestra in a local theatre here and last year was a member of the Yale University or chestra. The epithets painted on the walks and house by the three were of an extremely insulting character and were placed so conspicuously that they could not be overlooked.
 When examined by the police yes- terday afternoon they all tadmitted complicity in the affair, the police state. They had been down to the shore and returned to the city about three o'clock in the morning. In some way they obtained a pail of tar and a pail of blue paint
