NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION.

Prohibition will embrace the
whole United States within a COM
paratlvely short time" says Senator
Morris Sheppard, of Texas, the
movement is so strong that nothing
in the world can prevent it's ulti-
mate complete success" Senator
Borah, of Idaho, taking a similar
position says: Nationwide prohi-
bition is bound to come, but just
when | cannot TELL"
Such expressions as these accom-
panied the anti-liquor demonstra-
ton in Washington on Wednesday
when thousands of men and women
from all parts of the Union moved
IN a phalanx on the National CAPITAL
and presented petitions praying
that there be passed for adoption
by the States Constitutional
Amendment which would end the
sale and manufacture of intoxicat-
ing liquors in this country. 1t was a
mighty protest against conditions
aS they exist, and in both branches
ol congress bills for nationwide pro-
hlOltlon by Constitutional Amend
ment have been introduced.
And why not? Already there are
niue states in this country in which
'hefe IS prohibition. And in each of
Snese States the law is in part null
nnea because of the importation of
liquors from other States. "Prohibi-
'ion aoes not prohibit" say the op-
pohehts OF prohibition, and this is

ADVOCATES 4 SYSTTEs',1, !,
OF NATIONAL HIGHWAYS

Washington. Dec. 8, 1913-The
idea of National Highways, built
and maintained entirely by the
government, has no staunch r aI-
vocate than Judge J. M. Lowe of
Kansas City, Mo. Judge Lowe, who
is Vice-President of the National
highways Association, and Presi-
dent OF the National Old Trails Road
Department of the National High
ways Association, does not believe
that good results can be effected by
Wnat Is known as federal aid" ~
national aid" least Of all, by that
form OF aid which proposes that
tne government appropriations
should be spent not on main roaos
but on roads radlating from railroad
stations.
In All open letter to Governor
Major OF Missouri, Judge Lowe saws.
Ii nifty million dollars were appro-
prlated annually it would AVERAGE
about one million to each state II
dlstribu. ed equally.
Ii Missouri Should get one mil
hon dollars ano should kdistribute
equally to every county througho
the state, she could build about
tour-htth OF mile OF hard surfaced
road Ill each county.
But there are those in CONGRESS-
Il don't think they are to be found
elsewhere) who seem to lave .
vague notion that the thing to do is
to make the railroad depot the hub
and radiate from that point to
reach the farmers produce;;" but
lets see how that would work
In great many counties there
are several lines of railroad Who
Will decide which line to prefer? If |
all lines are 70 be treated equally
what would the result be?
Take Missouri, for example. She
mas an average of, say, ten depots
In each county. If each county can
build only four-ffths of mile ont
OF each fifty million dollar appronri-
ton then each depot would get two
twent< -htths OF a mile annually. |
appropriations were kept up.
Al tnat rate it would take twelve
and one-half years to get one mile
OF road out from each depot.
lhe average haul in Missouri is
nine miles, so it would take 112
years to Dulld one road out from
eaon depot to meet the require
ments OF an average haul and tn
radlate" in only four directions
would take 448 years if an appronri-
alton OF fifty million dollars were
made annually.
What is the reasonable thing to
do?
And how are we to get roads,"
If 50 million dollars is appropri-
ated annually for only six wears
and applied to system of Nation
al Highways it will build thirtv
thousand miles at an average cost
Of $4,000 per mile l believe that
this is a reasonable estimate for a
first-class road. ,
This system could be made to
furnish an average of two trunk
ines across each state and across
ne continent, and all connected
With national capital" Il

Some time Sunday afternoon when
thd streets of the city were practical
ly N aerted. thieves broke into the
mead market of Boutwell, & Kirk, and
robbed the cash register of the small
change that had been left in it over
night. Both Mr.. Boutwell, and Mr.
Kirk we're in the shop early in the
afternoon, but later decided to go for

robbery occurring some time In mid
afternoon tefore their return. En-
trance was made through the rear of
the building, the screen on the back

cash register. had to pass close to
some hooks on the wall upon one OF
which Mr.. Kirk had left his vest
containing his gold watch hanging
This was not touched. it being evi-

was money, something that the
crime could not be traced by.

effort to enter two store buildings II
