The responsibility for Illicit liquor
selling rests entirely upon the local
authorities. county, township and
town, and where liquor Is being sold
illegally the people who do want the
law enforced should bring their pres
sure upon these authorities. There Is
no need for q special constable. and
the real truth about the matter Is that
there has never been such need. Nine
tenths Of the seizures and arrests that
have been made by special constables
in the past were made on information
furnished by citizens to magistrates,
and by magistrates to the special con-
stables, and these arrests and seizures
could just as easily have been made
by the magistrates constables or po-
lice. 1t Is a fact that the liquor laws
are being violated all over the coun-
try, and we agree most heartily in the
belief that something should be done;
but If the taxpayers will take our ad
vice they will not submit to the extra
expense of a special constable in ad-
dition to all the constables we already
have.
Tho organization of an independent
temperance society at Beth-Shiloh
last Thursday night is a development
Of more than ordinary interest and
Importance. Without definite infor-
nation as to how 1t came about, we
assume that this development has its
origin in q desire to check the spread
Of the liquor habit in the community,
and that 1t also seeks to discourage
the indiscriminate sale Of liquor. 1t
occurs to us too that the movement
may have had its inspiration in the
republication in The Enquirer Of the
numerous lists Of temperance workers
who were so active throughout York
county in the period Immediately pre-
ceding the Civil war. AS had been
shown in the history reviewed in
Footsteps of the Fathers" the time
was once when this whole county was
pretty we'll debauchcd with whisky,
and besides the hardships borne by
the families Of those who gave them
selves up to the liquor habit. such a
thing as a clean, honest election was
unknown. People went into public Of
flee on a basis Of how much they had
to spend for liquor and how close they
could get to liquor drinkers. But,
however this may be, the organization
Of the temperance society at Beth
Shiloh Is a good thing. 1t will have a
wholesome effect on the people Of that
community. and we sincerely hope
and believe that the work will spread
to other parts of the county.

The attention Of those persons who
are continuously bowling for compul-
sorry education is called to the brief
list of income tax payers published In
the last issue Of The Enquirer. Almost
every reader Of this paper knows men
who are not in that list whose incomes
are larger than are incomes Of some OF
the men who have returned the same.

matter Of more money. Let us not i'm
pose any more taxes on the people OF

A movement started by Pope Bene-
dict Of Rome, to get the warning pow
ers to agree to truce over the Christ
mas holidays, has failed. it is under
stood, because the Russians observe the
day according to the calendar Of the
Greek church, and the Turks do not
recognize our Christmas at all. The
report is that Great Britain, France,
Germany and Austria were agreeable
to the ARRANGEMENT.

General Carranza Is quoted as say
ing that the Americans who have been
killed or wounded by Mexican bullets
during the fighting on the border at
Naco, are victims Of their own impu-

thinks that when Mexicans want to
fight the Americans should run away
from their homes or hunt refuge in
cellars. 1t is curious what notions

! Iornia by General Vallejo when Cali

As we left the stables one among US
had an inspiration.
She turned upon the threshold.
Muchas gracias, Seflor,' she said.
The sullen face of the man at the door
frightened like miracle. His black
eyes ShOnC and every white tooth in his
mead cleaned with delight He threw
open the door he was just going to bar,
swept the ground with his hat and
beckoned.
Back into the dim regions he took US,
and then he began TO show US his real
treasures in real earnest.
And We who had stopped for care
less minute stayed an absorbed hour,
and when we left we were all friends.
laughing and gesticulating together, all
because one Of US had remembered Just
three words of the mans language.
1t Always Pays.
What great moments NC miss. we who
speak only one tongue, and that our
own.
Another day we met by the roadside,
when We stopped for luncheon. a man
who carried a gun. and the man sat
down and ate with US, and he told US
about the deer and wild turkeys and
the quail and where to find them, and
what to do with them after they were
iouHu AliO on Ine evening OF the very
next DAY We fingered in the shadow of
giant redwood and listened to a wUm-
an who told us how her mother had run
away from a hareIn in Turkey with an
Irish sailor from an English warship.
and that was why. she supposed, she
liked TO sit on the ground with her feet
crossed. and why she was SO much more
comfortable when her face was yelled.
A high school teacher she is now. the
woman who told US this, and she be-
Eeves in votes for women and IN Gu
genie marriages. But her mother was
brought up TO the plash of an oriental
fountain, and We found out all about il
just because one who Travelled with US
spoke and understood the language OF
a gesture, or a flash in a pair of dark
eyes and of love for sitting on the
ground with the feet crossed.
Let's all learn some other language
besides the plain one We speak when We
go 10 buy a yard of tape or TO sell an
acre of land.
