Only two" vas the reply.

Suiy tWUs was tuc Ttply.
 Poe took the names and addresses. compared them quickly with the sev- eral he had procured. and then. his eyes lighting up strangely. remarked: You stay here: if I'm no: back in one hour. get the Police Captain to once to these two addresses. It's evi- dent the bad money Is emanating from these East Indians. l want to talk it over alone with their managers. Send four of the policemen to this first address on Surf Avenue, and you come along to the Coney Island Bowery yourself with the other four. If en- trance is denied at either address, force is to be used"
 Without a word Poe darted out of the building. and threw himself into the tangle of merry-makers in the street. It was a gay night at Coney. and with difficulty Poe made speed to the address on Surf Avenue.
 There he found a roomy lodging above a moving picture show. and ask ed for the proprietor. one of the two managers of East India shows he had picked out to call upon.
 He received information that the man was not in and wouldn't be until the next day. Somewhat disappoint. ed. Poe walked slowly down the steps and stood for q moment in the curb
 Then he glanced at the card. The other name and address vas:
 EDGEwoRTH HORTON.
 75 BOwERY.
 Deep. cynical wrinkles between nose and mouth formed unconsciously; he drew his broad d-brimmed straw ha, close over his eyes. and turned quickly lnts the Bowery.
 At number 75 Christopher Poe found a big gay music-hall, with the stereo typed dancing and singing girls. Or the lurid bill in front was a huge ad vertisement:

It was [ large. substantial place, doing a tre mendous business. and Poe took in al the details carefully, noting the height of the ceiling and the two passages up stairs. one on either side.

If there is any doubt IN the minds
of few that North Dakota is not a
mighty fine place to live and that
Emmons County is the best in it
they should have heen in Linton
Saturday and Sunday last. 1t was
the time of the baseball tourna-
ment at Linton and the events con-
nected with it were sight to be-
hold. For instance, on Sunday the
gate receipts were 1865. or there
abouts. And still. there were ball
games at Temvik and Braddock that
drew good crowds.
There were nearly lis automo-
biles lined up at the afternoon game
Sunday and that was another item
to be noted. Close to one hundred
thousand dollars in automobiles was
represented in that bunch. These
things speak volumes for the
prosperity and well-being of the
people of this section. You will not
find these conditions in the older
communities of the East. Money is
freer. times are better and people
are happier in this part of the
world. no doubt. than in any other.
And the grade of baseball that is
provided IN these small towns is a
revelation to even the players
themselves who come from other
parts.
As one visitor who is from that
old eastern city of Boston put it,
this is the one country where
everybody wears smile.''

In the issue of the Minneapolis
Journal of Saturday, July 10th. the
following editorial appeared The
thoughts in it are 80 striking and
coincide so exactly with that which
a great many of our people have
felt and believed for some time that
we reprint it IN our columns. It is
as follows:
Word comes from Chicago that
the states attorney has won his first
victory in crusade to drive illicit
liquor selling out of Cook county.
The owner of a notorious blind pig
was not only fined but made to give
bond of q thousand dollars to keep
out of the business.
The striking feature of these pros
secutions is the discovery. if the
word discovery may be used in con-
nection with such familiar sus-
picion, that bootleggers and blind
pigs can hardly exist without some
sort of official protection.
From report of the proceedings,
we extract this interesting set of
questions concerning matters that
e to be inquired into by the states
attorney
Why do justices of the peace often
let bootleggers go with minimum
fine, although the evidence OF their
guilt is declared conclusive?
Why do deputy sheriffs OCCASION
ally raid blind pigs and fail to get
the kind of evidence which they
know is necessary for convictions?
Can 1t be supposed hat bootleg
ginR is unlike other forms of law
lessness? If it is impossible to op-
crate q gambling house without pro-
lection, how can the much more diff
ticuIt business of selling liquor Sc
cretly be carried on, unless winked
at by those in authority?
The evidence SO far brought out
by the states attorney indicates
that the bootlegRers' ring has been
able to ply its trade. in spite of spe-
cific complaints and public COM
plants and public attacks upon
vicious joints. 1t is not easy to be.
lieve. therefore, that blind pigs
could continue to thrive without
definite Influences in their behalf
however mysterious these influences
may be. Any form of protection
means just one thing-graft. Graft
and la" lessness go hand in hand.

regular players and. as the contests
between two teams have already
been pretty close, the Tigers could
hardly expect to win handicapped
as they were. However. they came
very near coming home with the
bacon as 1t was, for they we're cred
tied with the only score made until
the ninth stanza. 1t was ] to 0 in
favor of Pollock to the last half of
the ninth when, with two men out,
our players made a couple of serious
errors that let Strasburg have the
game ny az toll score. Wednesday,
the Tigers were billed to meet
Browns Tennessee Minstrel's team

,, they did not expect to win, so no
one was disappointed here when the
