Let's Have No More.

Stanford, Me-. Tribune.)
1t has been suggested at a recent
Board Of Trade meeting that an ar
ticle be Incorporated in the warrant
for the Town Meeting in regard to
an ordinance prohibiting AUTOMOBILE
drivers from opening the exhausts
while going through the center Of the
town. This is small matter indeed,
but one which calls forth much dis
cussion. In the first place one may
ask just what good 1t would do. We
have an ordinance prohibiting bicycle
riding on the sidewalks. Yet we see
much Of 1t daily and as yet we have
failed to hear OF case which has
been brought before court. We have
many more ordinances which are not
enforced and the question arises as
to whether or not 1t is wise to make
ordinances when, before they are
made, one knows that they Will not
be strictly enforced. It IL not because
the officers do not wish to enforce
the law but because so simple are
the matters that they escape their
attention. AS far as we can ascertain
there are very few drivers ip this
town who speed through the street
with exhausts open and It would APP
pear that there Is no necessity Of
nances enough which we make no
effort to enforce. Let's have no more
OF them. II we must have moro law
let's have laws which are Of some
importance and which will be enforced.

Seizure of the American steamship

Russia,s Temperance Movement.

Perhaps Russia and the Russian
people will derive an incidental benefit
from the war through the now an
nounced withdrawal of the Govern
ment from the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic liquors. Alcoholic liquors
in that country mean vodka. That is
the national spirituous beverage, and,
SO far as the peasants and other poor
people are concerned, almost exclus-
lively so. Visitors in Russia who have
ventured a trial of this fiery liquor in
courteous compliance with the invita-
ton of a hospitable host are unani-
nous in their testimony that its effects
are something tremendous to the I'M
initiated. while the process of becom-
ing seasoned generally results in burn
ing out what is best in man, both
physically and morally. Vodka is now
distilled largely from potatoes and
maize, green rye malt being used in
place of barley. AS it comes from the
stills it contains from 80 to SO per cent
of pure alcohol. For retailing purposes
it is considerably diluted to so per cent
or below, though it is contrary to law
to sell it with less than 40 per cent of
the basic principle.
This does not mean that statewide
pro Inhibition is to be established in
Russia or that her millions are going
to be made and kept soper by an edict;
but it does mean that the Government.
instead of encouraging the consump-
ton of vodka, is going to retire from
the business and do what it can to dis
courage it. Private parties can take
up the responsibility that the Govern
ment lays down, but 1t will be under
strict excise laws designed to check
drunkenness. 1t will no longer be an
act of patriotism to become intoxicat-
ed to swell the national revenues. Aft
err all, the Slav, so much feared by
German culture. may be cropping his
way toward the light. Certainly this
is step in advance, because it means
better health and greater thrift and
comfort for his subjects; in fact, for
ward movement in civilization.-Bos-
ton Transcript.
China first, Russia second, in the
progress of civilization It is startl-
We are glad to quote the transcript as

eminent promoting or participating in

deserves condemnation. Now we Won
der if the Transcript would not favor
removing Uncle Sam from the rum
business? That is all that the most
jealous advocate Of common sense re-
duction and final elimination Of the
liquor evil could ask.
But instead, the United States has
just renewed it's approval Of and con-
tract with, the liquor interests. by de-
handing larger revenue. from the
business. How much more wicked has
Russia been, in conduct of her govern
ment- controlled shops, than America
has been in accepting a revenue bride
for the exploitation of her subjects?
God bless the CARRIE has at last
understood and has obeyed. Russia
may yet, in our day, bless the war.

How Has "WatohfuI Waiting Wont

portland Press.)
For something like Is months the
administration at Washington has been
''watchfully waiting for peace in Mex
leo. Several times 1t has seemed to be
on the verge of having its patience
rewarded. During the temporary luils
in bloodshed the newspapers which are
friendly to the administration have
blossomed cut with encomitGns Upon the
mastery manner in which the Mexican
question has been handled and some
times have printed news dispatches in
the same issue telling the world that
another row has broken out and that
the fighters are still at it. Only a
little while ago Democratic congress-
men were wearing buttons bearing the
words "Watchful waiting wins" They
took them off when Villa and Carranza
came to blows and the shooting up of
American citizens along the border
began again. 1t was announced a few
weeks ago that our troops were to be
removed from Vera Cruz at once. They
are still there. The administration
does not dare to take them away. Mex
leo is as far from being a peaceful
country today as 1t was a year. ago.
The washington government succeeded
in driving Huerta from power and
in seating Carranza in his place. Now
1t looks as though 1t would be obliged
to unseat Carranza. European nations
are too intent upon their affairs at
home to give Mexico much atten-
ton but the time is coming when they
will ask US when we propose to inter-
fere and put an end to this turmoil
and bloodshed. Just how "watchful
waiting wins" We are unable TO see.
The mess which this administration
has made Of this Mexican question
seems to stand in a class by itself.

Editorial Comment.
Partnership Dissolved.
(Boston Globe)

(Boston Globe)
Vodka and the Russian Government
have dissolved partnership, according
to cablegrams from .Perograd receiv-
ed recently, but nothing In the reports
indicates that prohibition will prevail
hereafter in the land of the Gear.
The chief feature OF the change is
that the State ceases actively to pro-
mote an extensive use OF a fiery
whisky distilled usually from rye,
sometimes from barley or potatoes) in
order to raise vast revenues for State
purposes.
Russia last year profited s4o0, o0o, 900
by Its monopoly in the sale OF spirits
"a sum sufficient to pay the expenses
of her Army and Navy, which were
$27S,0oo,0oo and $4,000, 900 respec-
lively.
Customs duties yielded only $751;
100000.
The decision ''to interdict for all
time the sale OF alcoholic drinks by
the Government" may be expected to
lead to some form OF high license and
a consequent reduction of the number
of drinking places. which have been
too abundant in Russian villages as
well as Russian cities.

WANTS TO WEAR
Shoes IN BOUT

His Desires About Foot
Coverings.

Minneapolis, May 2.-Henry Orde-
man has declared in emphatic terms
that if he NETS Stanislaus Zbyszko for
the worlds championship. j.. title that
he will insist upon the Pole wearing
shoes.
'The rules demand that wrestlers
must wear shoes and Zbyszko must
abide by Them" says Ordeman. "Whep
Gotch wrestled Yussiff Mahm0ut, the
Bulgarian had the alternative of wear
ing shoes or paying Gotch a bonus of
$500 for the privilege Of wrestling in
his bare feet. Mahmout paid the bo-
nus. There will DE no alternative for
Zbyszko, fer | will not wrest;e unless
he wears shoes. A $500 bonus would
not be a drop il the bucket with what
1. could make in case of a victory
over the Pole. If I should throw
him and I've got a mighty good
chance through, S of the toe-hold,
providing he wears shoes, it would be
worth $4,000 to me within the next
three. years.
Furthermore, if the match is ar
ranged I shall insist that Zbyszko and
his manager post $500 with some Min
neapolis bank as a forfeit that Zyb
will wear Shoes"
When Ordeman wrestled Zbyszko
at the Gayety theater last winter he
nearly threw the Pole several times
by use of the toe-hcld. hut was unable
to return his grip because his burly
opponents feet became slippery from

there was little doubt among the ca

THE TIGERS USE
Three PITCHERS
Play One-Hit Game But Have to
Put in All the
Reserves.

Detroit, Mich, May 2.-Although
Chicago made only one hit, three De-
troit pitchers were necessary to ell
able the Tigers to win the third
straight game of the series from the
White Sox here. The score was 5 to
4. After Denmit, the first man. up,
doubled off Hall in the first inning,
the Detroit pitcher was invincible u:-
til the ninth. Then he went to pieces
and walked batters almost as fast as
they came to the plate. With one out
and the bases filled, Dause was sub
stituted. He walked Collins, forcing
in Alcock, who had run for Bodie.
Dauss then pitched two balls to Weav-
err and Jennings sent Coyelskie to
the mound. Weaver also was passed
and scored Lord. Daily, batting for
Fournier, drove a high foul which
Stanage caught. Covelski then passed
Blackburne, Chase scoring. With Rey-
nolds warming up, to replace Covel-
skie, Schalk ended the game by drop
ping a roller in front of the plate and
vas retired by Stanage's throw to
first.
Detroit, scored it's runs by bunch
ing hits off Benz in the fourth and
eighth innings. Demmit's double and
an infield out, gave the White Sox
their first tally.
