Matawan, Dec. 4.-The police
throughout the state have been noti-
fed to be on the watch for burglars
who broke open the postOffice here
early today dynamited safe and es-
capped with s12 worth of stamps ri
fed from the cash drawer. Because
of the meagre description of the men,
the local officials doubt If they will
be caught. 1t Is believed that the
Job was done by amateurs, although
a full equipment of burglar tool:
was left behind by the men in thei1
flight.
The robbery occurred about 8
o'clock this morning. Residents
here were awakened about that hour
by the sound of an explosion, which
broke all the windows In the postof-
flee and caused considerable vibra-
tion in the vicinity. George Shepard,
who lives next door to the postotfice,
was awakened and together with his
wife, saw some men run from the
building and disappear down Main
street. He fired three shots at the
fleeing robbers and two reports were
returned.
A posse was formed among the To-
cal aDulary and citizens, but no
trace Of the men could be found. II
is believed that they made their es-
cape to Keyport and boarded troll
! ley for Perth AmboHss
Entrance had beef gained throuEh
/ a rear window Part OF the pane had
been cut out with diamond or GIG S
cutter and the latch sprung Wrap
! ped around the fragments of the safe
were found nearly dozen blankets
which had been apparently used TO
deaden the sound of the explosion.
Later 1t was discovered that the
/ blankets had been stolen from the
stable of William Van Brunt, few
doors away.
The entire partition in the rear of
| the postofiice was torn down by the
| explosion and the windows were
| shattered. Otherwise no damage was
| done to building. Several hundred
| dollars in cash had been deposited in
the safe. Some of this was destroy
| ed, but 1t is not thought that the loss
will be large. The robbers took moth
| ing but the stamps. which had been
taken from the petty cash drawer in
| the front office.
The local police are inclined to the
| theory that the work was that of
amateurs and say that cracksmen
would not think of using dynamite
unless extraordinary precautions had
been taken to deaden all sound. They
hope to obtain a clue through marks
on the tools which were left behind.
Sergeant Mulligan of the local po-
lice force, was notified of the rob
berry early this morning. He in turn
informed the police of surrounding
towns and cities and patrolmen were
told to be on the watch for suspi-
| cious characters who might come

George A. Medley, Congress-
from the Seventh District, and a
member of the Pujo committee,
recently said, "We're going to
get William Rockefeller if it
takes the army and navy to do
it. He has openly boasted he
will not obey subpoena and our
com mittee decided two weeks
ago we'd show him." From this
it will be seen that when the
right parties get the reins, the
law is interpreted to all alike,
and must be obeyed by the
Rockefellers the same as other
folks.

Thirteen years of the life o.
The News have rolled into the
eternity of the past, and with
this weeks issue, we launch up
on the uncertainties of the fut'
ure.
The year just closed has, in
many ways, been one of pros
perity. Since purchasing the
plant from The Meade Publish
ing Company, last July, we have
been favored with a generous
share of patronage. For this we
are justly appreciative, and trust
that we have treated our patrons
in such a way as to merit the
continuance of same.
1t has always been the policy
of The News to stand for the
best interests and up-buildlng
of Meade and Meade county.
This will be our policy in the
future.
The News has shared alike
with it's readers the ups and
downs of the past thirteenyears.
The good it has done in those
years we trust will live lone af-
ter this lifeless type and ma
chinery shall have rusted away,
and the owners shall have gone
to their eternal reward.
May the richest blessing of
the coming year be showered
down in abundance on all man
kind.

Mr.. John S. Dawson, the at
torney general of Kansas, in a
letter in the aid of the cause of
prohibition, recently wrote:
"The test of the value of prohibi-
ton is the net result for Kansas
in thirty years. Almost third
of the entire population is en-
rolled IN school. Illiteracy has
been reduced from 49 per cent
to less than 2 per cent, and that
trif1ing amount is entirely among
the foreign element. With los
counties in the state, 81 of them
have no insane, So have no feeble
minded. GO have no inebriates,
and the few we do have come
from the cities which have defied
the law to the very last. Thirty
eight county poor farms have no
inmates. There is only one pau
per in every 5000 population.
In July 1911, So county jails were
empty, IS counties had no pris-
oners serving sentences. Some
counties have not called jury
to try a criminal case IN ten
years, and grand jury is so un-
commo that half of our people
wouldn't know what it is. In
my home county in western
Kansas. there has been but one
grand jury and that was twenty
five years ago." Whether or
not these things are altogether
due to prohibition, the consump-
ton of liquor in Kansas has
been reduced until now, accord
ing to the statistics) the average
Kansan drinks only SLAB
w orld's Work.
