Stock Owners Warned Against
ImpOsters.

Reports are now beginning to come
in to the department from several of
the States quarantined for the foot
and-mouth disease that persons who
have no connection whatsoever with
the department are attempting to
pass themselves off as Federal in
spectors. There are several possible
motives that might account for the
existence of these imposters. In the
outbreak of 1908 there we're instances
of men who obtained money from
credulous victims who believed that
in this way they would escape the in
convenience of quarantine and disin-
fection. This is, of course, a very
simple form of extortion. Another
motive may be the sale of some quack
remedy for the disease.
Stock owners can protect themselves
very easily against fraud, for their is
no specific remedy for the foot-and-
mouth disease. Since the germ has
never been isolated, it has never been
possible as yet to find any serum that
would act either as cure or spre-
ventive, and the public may be quite
certain that anyone who says that he
is an employee of the Department of
Agriculture, and at the same time
attempts to sell or even recommend
anything Of the sort, is simply an in
poster. For this reason stock owners
are warned not to allow strangers to
visit their stock or attempt any de-
monstrations Of so-called cures by in
jections or otherwise.
There is, moreover, very great dan
ger that such people might dissemi-
nate the disease. 1t is well known
fact that the germs can be carried on
clothing. In infected territory, there
fore, it is quite possible that man
who mas come in contact with strick
en- animals may bring the disease to a
perfectly healthy herd. This also ac-
counts for much Of the spread Of hog
cholera.
The department therefore recon-
mends all farmers to keep their ami
mails from contact with all save those
who have definite business with
them.

Prohibition in Memphis.


Here are some statements OF facts
which any man with two eyes can
prove for himself. It is time the state
ments were made. The warrant for
their publication is the truth of them.
Ii onyone is inclined to question
them he is at liberty to use the
column of The Press TO state his case.
The nuisance law has failed.
The Law and Order League has
quit.
The elements of the population who
would naturally be supposed to sup
port the effort to enforce the pro-
hibition law, through the nuisance
law, prove by their inaetion that they
are not interested.
The results of the spasmodic at
tempts by the attorney generals Of
fee to enforce the law are now worse
than useless.
Because:
(D Liquor is sold as much as ever.
% 1t is sold under worse condi-
tions.
(S) tits sold by worse men-as a
general rule.
a. Drunkenness is as as common
as ever.
(59 The courts are clogged and de-
moralized.
(6) Either from the inadequscy of
the means of enforcement or other
causes cases of gross discrimination
are common; some men sell liquor
without much annoyance; others are
subjected to constant espionage and
court actions of various kinds.
This causes:
(al Charges of graft.
(b) Belief by many men that they
are being prosecuted which opinions
are frequently shared by others.
(cl Undoubtedly much actual
grating on liquor sellers-probably
by irresponsible men sailing under
false pretenses, but the result of the
thing is wholesale suspicion, rumors
and distrust.
The present conditions are detri-
mental to the people of Memphis.
The open disrespeet of the pro-
hibition law prior to March 1, was
bad, but not SO bad as the present
conditions.
Because:
~ 1t was generally violated by al
most universal popular consent.
(2) Except for some police favorit
SIN there was not the discrimination
among the violators which is appar-
ent now.
90 The conditions were so stabiliz-
ed by the license system and the se~
curity of the violators that more
reputable class of men were engaged
and a more decent class of places
were open.
az The fact that all the officials,
municipal, county, state and judicial
unitedly failed in their duty under
tacit popular consent gave the VIOLA
tion law almost the sanction of law
itself by force of local usage.

'1O0 EARLY FOR AUTO SERVICE
Lieut.. Edgerton of Road Commission Advises Against It's Estabiish-
 ment at This Time.

Lieut.. Glen Edgerton of the Alas ka road commission has written to the Stanley Automobile Co.,, of Se- attle, advising against the establish ment at this time of an automobile service from Valdez to Fairbanks be- cause of the condition of the road, which, while in shape for automobile traffic, is not yet completed and the engineer officer feels that with the limited appropriations at the con- mand of the commission such a ser vice might not be success because of the inability of the road commis- sion to make quick repairs in case of washouts or the loss of a bridge.
 The letter is given below in full: Stanley Automobile Co.,, Seattle,
 Washington.
 Gentlemen: The chairman of the Valdez Chamber of Commerce, MT. White, has just shown us a telegram in which you request information as to the practicability of establishing an auto stage line between Valdez and Fairbanks.
 For your information I wish to ad- wise you uof the following facts:
 The road from Valdez to Fairbanks is 379.5 miles in length. It crosses two mountain ranges and numerous rivers, large and small. In character it is a fair earth road, but the ditch ing and drainage is not entirely con- preted. The rivers are all bridged, with the exception of the Tanana, on which ferry is maintained.
 Our funds are so limited that in the event of unusual accidents, such as earth slides and washouts involv- ing serious damage to the road we might be unable to make repairs promptly and your operations might be suspended indefinitely.
 Three cars made the trip between Valdez and Fairbanks last year, two were Fords and the third 3-4 ton White gasoline truck in our service. All three cars had some difficulties and our car was pulled out of several mud holes.
 It is believed that one of your cars could make the trip at any time be- tween July 1 and October l, but it would probably not be able to make over 80 miles per day and in the case of very unfavorable weather it is probable that considerable diff culty would be encountered.
 We would not consider this an au- tomobile road and would under no circumstances take the responsibility of advising you to establish an auto line at this time. We are, however, endeavoring to secure sufficient funds to permit us to improve the road to standards suitable for light auto traf- fic and hope to accomplish this even tually.
 We have no objection to your giv- ing any publicity to this letter that you think desirable.
 GLEN F. EDGERTON, First Lieut., Corps of Engineers, En-
 gineer Officer.

Teddy Taylor, the steward of the steamer Mariposa, served the pas sengers of the boat Fourth of July dinner that they will long remember. The steamer was in Lynn Canal on the Fourth and in quiet water, so all were able to take nourishment. Ted dy's program was rather long and the passengers were at the table for two hours. Since that dinner several of the millionaires on the boat have been trying to kidnap the steward for service on their yachts in the East.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
Panama canal enters upon another
phase Of progress tomorrow when
civil government will be established
on Uncle Sans ten mile strip from
ocean to ocean. Colonel George W.
Goethals, who as chief engineer con-
structed the big ditch has been au-
| tocrat Of its administration is to be
civil governor. Ever since the United
States undertook building Of the zone,
it has been technically under military
rule. A commission form of govern
ment had actual administration au-
thority, but practically all the COM
missioners were military officers. Col
| onel Goethals has been supreme in
authority. During the building Of the
canal it has often been said that
Goethals' administration was required
| if an employee wanted to requisition
pencil.
The new civil government comes
automatically in effect tomorrow in
pursuance with a proclamation issued
two months ago by President Wilson
! The Isthmian canal commission like
wise dies. The Panama canal law, ap.
| proved August "a, 1912-the exemp-
ton from tolls clause Of which is now
under consideration in congress
| makes the president the real ruler OF
Panama, through governor and such
| other persons as he may elect. The
president has told Goethals that he is
to have a free hand in his admins
J fro W iG toll 70 III
! the civil governor will have nearly O.
| 500 jobs at his disposal. There is no
civil service on the canal either.
In his new job Goethals' foremos,
! duty is to make the canal ready for
use. He was given the place because
! it has been his ambition when the
canal was completed and the engineer
ing and construction forces had done
with their work that he might ac.
tually have some hand in the starting
of commerce through the waterway
! OF course the task of rearranging the
administration in the zone is an enor.
nous one, but that of drilling the ca.
nal employees in their work and OF
| making the canal success will from
the start to finish be greater. On hi:
recent visit here. the Colonel made II
plain that he intends to go slowly ir
rearranging the zone government. B,
law, all executive orders and regula.
ton will be continued in force aftel
tomorrow, so that the switch from {
commission to a one-man government
will be accomplished with no apparen
wrench. Speculation was rife here

dence; he was sold food supplies at
cost; given free medical attendance
and free schools. while every effort
was made to encourage establishment
of churches and recreation buildings
Needless to say. there were no taxes
at all.
Goethals thinks the canal will be in

the chief engineer wants his operating
force, the~men who handle the giant
locks, the towing locomotives, and
other delicate machinery to be thor
oughly drilled in their respective jobs
before the canal is thrown open tc
the commerce of the world. That may
take several months.
