The Problem of Law Enforcement

and in working order. Chief among it's duties is the
enforcement of law. Assisted by the states attorney
and the sheriff it is expected to see to it that criminals
are apprehended and punished. To this end it selects
the jurors, and upon the character of the men whose
names it places on the jury panel, depends in large
measure the administration of justice.
But the Stephenson county board Of supervisors
has failed to measure up to its responsibility. 1t ap-
pears that several former saloonkeepers were indicted
in Freeport for selling liquor. Two of them were
charged with selling cream of hops. At the trial they
admitted having done SO. The state showed by testi-
mony Of Dr.. Homberger, head Of the chemistry de-
partment of the State University, that cream of hops
is a malt liquor and the law explicitly states that any
one, who retails malt liquor in dry territory, is guilty
Of violating the anti-saloon territory law. It was also
proved that the defendant had taken out federal IL
censes for the sale of liquor, which is prima facie evil
dence of guilt.
The same witnesses who testified in the liquor
cases at Bloomington, Decatur, Carmi, Toulon, Watt
kegan, Woodstock and several other places, testified
at Freeport. They gave precisely the same kind Of
testimony in all its details. In the other places con-
viction followed. At Woodstock one Of the men in
dcted had sold Tonica, which, according to the testi-
mony, contains less than one-ninth the percentage of
alcohol that is contained in cream of hops; yet the
Woodstock jury found the offender guilty, while the
Ireeport jury voted for acquitta1.
After the trial and in the face of these facts, the
stephenson county board passed a resolution recon-
mending that the other liquor cases be dropped, al
though it is we'll known that several of the indict-
ments are for the sale of beer and whisky as we'll as
for cream of hops. AT a time when supervisors of
other counties are doing all in their power to enforce
the liquor laws, a majority of the Stephenson county
board have apparently put themselves on record as
against this enforcement.
We mention the Freeport cases because they
show the difficulty of enforcing the liquor laws where
the machinery of government is in the hands of the
vets. Nearly every town that has voted dry has to
meet this problem of law enforcement and it is about
the most difficult one with which it has to deal. To

One of the slogans of the liquor interests is that
"Prohibition does not prohibit'-that it is impossible
to enforce the liquor laws. They cite the number Of
liquor licenses in Prohibition territory as proof that
bootlegging and other forms of the illicit sale of liquor
continue in spite of laws to prevent them
One thing, however, which the liquor interests
are careful to conceal, is that the Vlolators OF the law
are their friends and patrons. If Our liquor laws are
more difficult Of enforcement than other laws, it is be-
cause the liquor interests, in league with the dive
keepers and corrupt politicians, have Systematically
encouraged and defended their violation.
The Case of Chicago.
Judge Clarence N. Goodwin, Of the superior court
of Chicago, in his testimony before the Merriam
Crime Committee last week, charged that there is a
Systematically planned effort to defeat justice in the
city OF Chicago.
I know, or rather have been informed" says
Judge Goodwin, that there is a systematic organiza-
ton on the other side whereby criminals are given aid
by regularly paid witnesses. This testimony, of course,
is perjured and is Systematically produced. In my
opinion, the only way to work against this system IS
to organize Systematically a plan to fight that system,
and believe that such an effort would be successful
The systematic effort recommended by Judge
Goodwin, is already being made in the city of Chi
cago. The investigation of the Merriam Crime Com
mittee. the proposal to establish a morals court, the
work of the Committee of Fifteen and other similar
organizations, show that the people of Chicago are re-
solved that the law shall be enforced.
The breaking up of the segregated district and
the elimination of fraud at the recent election marks
progress in this direction. 1t looks now as though the
problem of law enforcement would be the dominant
issue in the mayorality fight and there can be no ques-
ton that if Chicago elects a mayor who is determined
to enforce the law, that he will succeed and the pres
ent lax administration of justice will come to an end.

said:
"Nex York is tired of having los

WELSH AND MAND0T
TO MEET IN SOUTH

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Unless Harry Pol
lok, manager of Lightweight Cham
pion Freddie Welch, goes back on his
word, Welch and Joe Mandot will meet
for the lightweight title before D. j.
Tortorich's West Side A. C. of New
Orleans during the third week OF Feb
ruary.
According to Tommy Walsh, mana
ger of Mandot, Pollok has promised
the New Orleans promoter to let
Welch fight Mandot during January.
Because of his many fights in the last
three months physicians advised the
champion to take months rest be-
fore engaging in another battle. Pol
lok notified Tortorich of Welch's con-
dition, and the promoter agreed to the
postponement, with the understand
ing Welch would make his first fight
in New Orleans The battle probably
will be staged in February during
Mardi Gras week.

writes Sophie E. Eastman, in her

pupils.

M'vEY TOO MUCH
FOR HARRY WILLS
Partisan Trounces Southern
Black in 20-Round Go
at New Orleans.

New Orleans La. Dec. 2l.-Sam NC
Vey's smashing left hook and upper
cut were too much for Harry Wills,
the local negro. Referee Dick Burke
al the end of the 10-round fight at the
West Side Athletic club gave the de-
cision to McVey with 5000 fans ap-
proving the verdict.
Wills started like winner. He won
the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and sew
enth rounds easily. McVey seemed
unable TO fathom his infghting and
the local negro punished the Paris
IAN" The eighth round saw a change
when McVey rushed and broke Wills
guard McVey won the ninth and
tenth, but Wills came back strongly
and shaded him in the 18th.
Outside the 18th and 18th rounds,
which were even. the other rounds be-
longed TO McVey. His slashing left
and his right cross worried Wills. In
the 18th, 14th and the 18th rounds he
almost dropped the southerner with
vicious left hooks TO the jaw, which
sent Wills reeling to the ropes.
McVey's aggressiveness surprised
the crowd He forced the fighting all
the way. He was cautioned once be-
cause Wills claimed he hit low. Nc
Vey weighed 217 pounds and Wills 2O6.
It was announced that McVey and
Langford would fight here later in the
season. Tom McCary. who sat at the
ringside, said he was in New Orleans
to stay and would present some of

SNOWFALL Showers.

More than one explorer in cold eli.
mates has noted the curious phenome-
non of SNOWFALL shower" The balls,
it is true, are not very big, the aver.
age being about the size of a hens
egg, but they are true snowballs for
all that-compressed globes of snow,
not little Jumps of ice or hail. A fall
of the kind occurred in north London
in March, 1859, and at the time it was
observed that the balls seemed five
times as dense and compressed as ordi-
nary snow and in no way to be told
from the usual handmade missiles.
They had fallen during the night and
were strewn many layers thick over
a very large area. No cause-except
doubtful electrical one-can be as.
cribed for the strange phenomenon,
and mountaineers are apt to discredit
the stories of SNOWFALL showers told
them by the old guides till suddenly in
the midst of an ordinary storm they
find themselves assailed as though by
myriads of mischievous schoolboys.-

ENOUGH OF WORDS, MR.. TEARNEY;
WHY CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION?

Last summer he made it impossible
for Rock Island to enjoy any other
league. He is now attempting TO force
Rock Island to accept his league
whether it likes it or not. Incident
ally he wants to place a bankrupt team
here. with liabilities hanging over ii
which he expects Rock Island 10 as
sumo. He has threatened to come
here and see for himself how Rock Is
land likes the medicine he has been
prescribing. He will be welcome any
time. that he may see for himself what
the people here think of him.
The best service AL Tearney can
render TO the Three-Eye league is TO
resign and let the club that hired him
give him promissory notes for what Is
due him.
Rock Island will pay none Of 1t, but
with Tearney out IL might be in a
position TO talk business with its old
friends.
