The Anti Saloon Lea que,
through its state secretary, K.
D. Davis, comes into the news.
papers and says that the final
BILL, vith'its quart Of limitation
and several other things, is a de-
cided victory for prohibition. 1t
may be. Theoretically the blind
tiger man cannotdo much with q
quart every Fifteen days-but the
real Mnd tigersman has never
depended much on open ship
ments Of whiskey. Whiskey is
shipped in double barrels-one
man we know shipped over a
hundred barrels OF lwhiskey-
small barrels inside coal oil bar
rels-and carried ona blind tiger
traffic that was fierce. The rail.
road company does not know
what is in a barrel OF lamp Chin
neys, and if there are ten gallons
of whiskey in a crate of automo-
bile tires the carrying compa-
nies cannotlocate it. The blind
tiger man does a big business
when he runs, and doesn't de-
pend on therailroads forall of it.
/ The smoonshiner is the man
who knows the postoffice address
and the place to meet the blind
tiger in the dark. The moon
sinner has been more plentiful in
this Fifth Congressional district
the last year than ever before.
And with it impossible to ship in
much whiskey in the open, the
concealed packages will be CON-
ing and the moonshiner will be
more plentiful. There is where
the anti-saloon league must do
some good work. The :act that
a quart can be shipped in every
fifteen days gives a man a chance
tosrun illicit quarters. He gets
the quart and thus hides his
other avenues. We are glad the
anti.saloon people feel they had
a partial victory. We are OF
opinion, however, that it should
have been whole or none. We
cannot see how the legislature
can ever explain. If we voted
prohibition, and we did, We should
have prohibition. Some of the
quarts some OF the iolks will al
ways have on hand will become
amazingly elastic. Three or four
gallons coming in the dark, and
the one quart in daylight. They
used to tell a story that the
Southern rsilway owned one old
mule and used him to put on a
freight; train on Sundays 80 they
could claim live stock. That old
mule was responsible for the
movement OF a millioncars. And
the man who receives ten quarts
OF likker nicely labelled MaCau-
lays History of England, by slow
freight, will exultantly receive his
quart, in open, and people who
are not philosophers will marvel
and wonder whyit is thata quar-

ssmiblizzard being in progress.
The first place located by the
0Omcsrs had the appearance, in
some respects, OF a. regular gov
srnment distillery, having a res
ervoir to catch still slo2, in which
there was a large amount, and
everything about the place not
only indicated recent operation
but a business OF considerable
proportions. The still had been
0emoved, however, but alter a
search the cap was found. At
the other place, the boys hating
to see 80 many,apples going to
waste, we suppose, had been
making brandy and their still,
which consisted of a gasoline

any one at either place the sheriff
.adivided his force and went on a
kind Of scout in orderto try and
locate the owners. During the
search the supposition is they
were fred upon, the report of
two or more guns being heard
and shot falling in the immediate
vicinity OF some Of the officers.
Going in the direction from which
0these reports came the officers
came upon two men with guns
in shooting position. They we're

Most people know that men
who engage in the illicit ditilla-
tion Of whiskey are, as a general
thing, men who believe that it is
"a God-given privilege to convert
their grain or fruit into any
commodity that will enhance its
value, and have little regard or
respect for man-made laws to
the contrary, and the finding Of
four illicit distilleries in q few
days by our sheriff doesn't mean
that conditions along this line

action but rather that this class
