Prolixity.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Spr1ncnei0 isepupHcdu.
When shorthand was introduced it
was welcomed as great relief from
the la Dor of taking notes in court; now
it is being accused in some quarters of
being one of the causes of the laws
delays. In Missouri Judge Robinson OF
the supreme court lately referred to
the typewriter as a cause of retarda-
ton, and a veteran lawyer writes to
the ST. Louis Republic in elaboration
of that theme. In the old days, he says
when material evidence was Jotted
down in longhand, courts pushed along
much faster. With stenographer
present, Hundreds Of unnecessary
questions are asked, repetition is the
rule, and seldom is u bill of exceptions
perfected without one or more exten-
sions of time for filing" Moreover, the
notes are not boiled down, but turned
over to the printer in an enormous
mass, much of which is not to the
point This is burdensome to the
court and expensive to the litigant. He
does not suggest that the court re-
porter be abolished, but he urges that

Hurry. Hurry" Last Words.
"Moonshining" Among Eskimos.

From the Wide World Magazine.
1t may surprise those who associate
"moonshine" whisky only with the
southern states mountains to learn that
since the suppression Of the contra
band liquor traffic between whites and
natives in the north the Eskimo has
himself turned 'moonshiner." No
touch of romance clings to the busi-
ness up there. There are no hidden
stills sepding up tell-tale columns of
stills sending up tell-tale columns of smoke
from lonely coves or purple glens no soli-
tary lookout on some crag against the sky
with rifle and gourdneck horn to sound an
alarm when the revenue raiders come
galloping over the rim of the hills.
Those who prefer their moonshining in
this style would do better to stick to
the Cumberlands and the Big Smokes.
The Eskimo does his moonshining in
his igloo, or just outside In his own
front yard, as 1t were, under the eyes
of his neighbors His distilling plant
is a small and primitive affair. He
can hide it in sleeping bag or carry
il off in his arms to the hills If reve-
nue. cutter shows in the offing.
! The still itself is usually an old oil can ;
the flake stand. "a powder keg: the
| worm. twisted gun barrel; the re-
ceptacle to catch the liquor that drips
from the worm, a tomato can. He
knows nothing of the southern noun
taineer's mash" made from the meal
of sprouted corn. His mash is a fer
mented mixture of flour and molasses.
He boils 1t by placing under the still
a pan Of blubber oil In which burns a
wick of twisted moss. The vapor from
the boiling mash passes from the still
into the worm. where it is condensed
by cold sea water. with which the
powder keg Is kept filled by hand, and
| trickles out into the tomato can an al
| coholic liquor which tastes like none
of the liquors of civilization, but equals
the fercest OF them in intoxicating po-
| tefcy. One deep swig of this moon
| shine of the north will make the usu-
ally timid Eskimo brave enough to face
his mother-in-law or a polar bear with
equally reckless disregard Of conse.
lQuences.

HILL REFUTES INTERVIEW.

BOSTON. Mass, November 24.-Capt.
Walter N. Hill of the United States
Marine Corps last night declared un-

him as saying that Mexicans probably
would be burning and looting Vera

Capt. Hill said he had not talked with

the opinion that the alleged interview
was a garbled account of a personal
conversation. He said he had remarked
to a friend that there might be trouble
in Vera Cruz when the United States
forces departed. He added that he
made formal report to this eHect tt

to a request for an explanation of the

rom the SnlcdSO heidiu.
This nation can seriously attend the
recommendations OF Gen. Wotherspoon
and other experts on the state of our
military and naval defense without in the
least weakening its position an ex-
ponent Of peace and an opponent Of mil
itarism These recommended atinns are not
the reports of officers afflicted with mil
itaristic mania. They are not the rec
concentrations Of men who look on war
as a legitimate instrument Of political
action and national expansion. They are
not the advice of men serving royal
houses with ambitions whose satisfaction
demands giant expenditure on armament
There is as little of this spirit in the
American army or navy as in American
civil life. What the American military
officer has in mind Is what the American
business man has in mind-the question
whether the instrument is efficient for the
object and if not how it can be made ef-
ficient.

MORNING PAPER STORY

The story published this morning
to the effect that the Public Utilities
Commission has practically ignored
the, complaint made to it by the A. G.
Curtis Company of Olaa. against the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany, tends to lead the public to be-
lieve that the commission is throwing
out informal complaints on mere tech
nicaIities," said E. A. Mott-Smith,
chairman of the commission. today.
Such is not the case, however. It is
the idea of the commission to make
the informal complaints as easy as
possible" .
At the meeting of the utilities COM
mission held Tuesday afternoon, the
chairman reported that he had made
an inquiry of the, Inter-Island regard
ing the complaint of the Curtis com
pany, whereupon the commission au-
thorized him to go further into the in
vestigation. "The story this morning
says that nothing further was done in
the matter" said Mr.. Mott-Smith
