The Fruits of Prohibition.-"Prohi
bition does not prohibit no longer
seems to be the battle-cry of the anti
prohibition forces, as it is too clear and
evident to the minds of the great
masses Of the people hat prohibition
does prohibit. Just contrast the con-
ditions hat exist on the streets OF
Chester on Saturdays and holidays. oil
the roads of the county when crowds
are leaving the city in the evening
with conditions years ago while tho
bar room system was in operation OF
later when the ~dispensary was the
purveyor of intoXicants to h masses
and it will be seen that there has beer
tremendous improvement. The fruits
of prohibition are peace and prospect
ty, and as this idea spreads, which i
is doing every day, the liquor bushes!
will find it's territory becoming more
and more contracted until it will finally
be put u of operation altogether

Is Not a Candidate.
Hon. ]. K. Henry is not a candidate
for congress and has no present pur-
pose Of entering the race next summer
There has been more or less concern
about the matter among Mr.. Henr.g's
friends and others of late, and The
Enquirer has undertaken to find on;
by asking the direct question. III re-
ply Mr.. Henry said: 1T is not my pur-
pose, at present, to enter the race for
congress next year" The reporter did
not understand him to mean that IN
der no circumstances could he be in
duced to become a candidate; but
only that he has no such idea in the
light of existing conditions. Although
he is in no sense on the watching and
waiting list, there could happen that
which would cause him to change his
plans.

he expected to attend his niece's wed
ding this evening. The body Of Mr.

afternoon. Mr.. Bratton was the son
Of the late John s. Bratton, and was
born in the Bethesda section Of York
county about so years ago. The de-
ceased is survived by his widow, who,

TO ABANDON EXPRESS
Public Money and Securities to be
Sent by Mail.

Secretary McAdoo la issued an
order that all public moneys and Sc
curitieS be transported by mail in
stead Of by express. The order be-
comes effective August 16, and will
result in q great economy to the
government and to the banks; the
saving amounting to many thousands
of dollars annually.
This new policy changes the prac-
tice Of a century during which the
government has paid hundreds of
panies for the transportation Of mon
y and securities between the treas
ury, sub-treasury and banks.
The reform has been accomplished
by Secretary McAdoo with the hearty
cooperation of Postmaster General
Burleson. For several months the
secretary and postmaster general have
been making a thorough test OF the
feasibility Of making all shipments by
mail. The experiments demonstrated
the great saving to be effected. The
postoffice department is fully equipped
to undertake the business successfully.
The moneys and securities will move
by registered mail and will be insured.
Those belonging to the government will
be sent under frank and will have the
benefit Of free registration, he only
expense to the government being the
small cost of insurance.
Banks pay for the transportation OF
moneys and securities between them
and the treasury and s~ub-treasuries'
Under the new plan, instead Of paying
express charges they will have to pay
only the small postage, the registra-
tion fee and insurance.
To handle the business the p~oStoffice
Iii z,.-L1t.L 4, hka-ah' nf
flee in the treasury building, occupy
had formerly allowed the express COM
panies to use.
In addition to the great economy ef-
fected, many delays will be eliminated,
The mail service Is much faster in
many instances because between points
where an express company a not a
direct line, 1t is necessary to use the
lines of two or more companies and
the result is frequently circuitous.
For 26 years, moneys and securities
have been transported by express. The
government entered into an agreement
with the United States Express com
pany for this transportation service on
March 1, 1889. This contract was
modified and amended November 1
1894, and June /, 1912, making the rate
20 cents per 81, 900 to all points reach
ed by its W lines. To points on
other lines the charges were from 35
cents to $3.50 per $1,000, according to
location and territory.
The United States Express company
went out of business on June 80, 1914
and Secretary McAdoo, who was max
ing a close study of the question under
the belief that the government was
paying excessive charges for the trans
p~ortation of it's moneys and securities
especially in view OF the possibilities
of the postal service, invited bids from
the various express companies for the
fiscal year 1915. These showed only
negligible reduction and decided the
secretary to perfect a n arrangement
with the postmaster general to take
over the Observation-Disclosures Dis
match.

would print the NEWS. l don't
care who it might hit. If they don't
want to get into the paper, let them
keep out of trouble"
We remember one particular in
stance in which a similar remark was
made.
We had, through the pleadings of an
old mother and fearful sister, kill
ed" good story concerning the esca-
pades of a rather worthless young
fellow. But to his mother and sister
he was not worthless, and they pre-
vailed upon US not to print the item
which would disgrace them forever.
And we did not print it
So we were accused of cowardice by
this certain critic and We're told that
we did not know how to run a paper.
In vain we tried to explain that
many things besides our own personal
likes and dislikes entered into our
weekly labor.
1t was no use, he said. we should
print the news.
Six months later the same man
came sneaking up to our home in the
dead of the night to plead and beg
with us not to print much worse
story in which he himself was mixed
up.
We had the story but had no inten-
ton of printing it. for it was one of
those things that it is best for all con-
cerned and for the public. TO suppress.
But our critic had heard that we
knew the details and, with the unfair
ness that characterized his utterance,
at once jumped to the conclusion that
we would chortle with joy over a
chance to flaunt such a choice bit
of gossip in the face of our readers,
Remembering his attitude on the
other occasion we let him squirm a
bit.
We remind him of his former state
ment and intimated that he had at
that time opened our eyes. I'VE

did not want to get into the paper.
let them keep out of trouble"
He remembered.
He admitted that he had so ex-
pressed himself.
But he was wrong. he said.
And this case was different.
Moreover, he was prominent man
and married-and he had family
and all of the same stuff that every
editor hears when some one gets into
trouble.
Well. the stcry was not printed. 1t
never would have been. But we feel
sure that our critic believes that the
only thing that kept it out was his

G. L. Hueneken.-In this country
the quality that has made the people
great is that called by foreigners
"goaheadedness." The pace set by
business in this country has been SO
fast that any man who wants to sue
ceed must keep up with the procession
or fall. There is an inclination among
many young men nowadays to lag
behind. This is due, l fear, to the
increasing fondness for sports. Many
of our young men think too much of
baseball and football and do not go
into the details of business. / am a
firm believer in athletics, and no.
body likes a baseball game more than

places to neglect business for amuse-
ment.

are coming to the conclusion that war

much except to drill and train and
maneuver its male population in the

communicable to other nations and
peoples. Just now it is encompassing
