Court House Flag
AT Half Mast Today,

There is a strange stiffness in the
court house today. The usual activ-
ity and signs of life are apparently
lacking. The flag is at half-mast.
In the Jail the stiffness is more pro-
nounced. Even the inside of the Jail,
usually alive with the laughter, the
noise of conversation and song of the
inmates, is silent.

WOMAN FAINTS AND MAN
SUFFERS ACUTE ILLNESS

When asked about the prohibition
law of West Virginia, M. S. Bruce,
from the adjoining state of Virginia,
who recently visited R. N. French
for the past week, replied: 1.-The au-
thorities are enforcing the prohibition
law of West Virginia very vigorously.
The law provides that all parties COM
ing into West Virginia shall place a
label on their suit case naming all
packages intended to be brought into
the state. Some funny things occur in
the enforcement of this law. will
give you an illustration.
''The city Pocahontas, the name
of the famous Pocahontas Coal and
Coke Company, is within three of four
hundred yards of the line between the
two Virginias. Not long since, a very
prominent citizen of Pocahontas was
called on business to West Virginia.
expecting to return the same day, and
being accustomed to his drink, he
cautiously put pint flask into his
hip pocket, and to avoid any trouble
with the laws of the sister state. he
placed a label on his hat which read
as follows: This package contains
two pints of whiskey and four bottles
of beer" After he had crossed the
line and was walking down the street
at Bramwell, West Virginia, a man
came running up to him and said:
"a woman has tainted down there,
have you any whiskey? The Virginian
quickly pulled the pint bottle out of
his pocket and handed it to the man,
who pulled the STOPPER out of the
bottle and drank the whole of it's con
tents and said, 1T always makes me
sick to see a woman faint and slowly

you look at them
1t is only fair to say that in recent years Dr.
Cook has succeeded in convincing large number
of Americans that he really did reach the Pole,
still larger number that he sincerely believes he
reached it, whether he did or not The Mount
Everest quest will reopen the old controversy about
the climbing of Mount Mckinley though it will
probably be settled definitely.
DR.. Cook seems determined that no suspicion
shall attach to his latest enterprise. AS he outlin
ed his plans long before leaving America, he in
tends to have with him witnesses whose word will
be UNREASONABLE. He looks to the climbing of Mt
Everest to justify him before the world as brave
explorer and honest man. He deliberately chose
what he considers the hardest feat of exploration
yet unaccomplished.
The Duke of the Abruzzf now admiral of the
Italian navy, assembled Mount Everest to the dizzy
height of $4,000 feet but the peak towers mile
above that mark. 1t is doubtful whether any hui

The foreign aspects of the still

stationng permanent wall of soldiers along the

The fact is, we've got to straghten out Mexico

at stake in Mexico not going to stand aside
patiently as we have done. If Mexico doesn't lift

England will proceed to do it. And we shall have
to stand for it.
There's than mere theory involved.
The Monroe Doctrine has always been, at bottom,

to gain foothold in Mexico the work of century

While we're busy forming plans for our ma

CURING DRUNKENNESS

An Oklahoma police judge is reported to have
imposed fine of 100000 and 80 years in Jail
woman prisoner accused of habitual drunkenness.
He doesn't expect her to pay the million, and he
hasn't any notion that she'll live out the term; but
His Honor explains that he did it because he didn't
want the woman ever to be at large egain."
The Oklahoma law gives express sanction
to Incarceration for life for such misdemeanor
intoxication. The magistrate is confident, however,
that he has acted legally.
Provided the higher courts uphold his action,
what shall be said of such law of the penologi-
cal theory it to exemplify? If drunkenness is
to be punished with life Imprisonment, why not
other minor offenses." such wifeheating, petty
thieveing, begging, etc. Or, since drunkenness is
personal vice. why not life imprisonment for dope
fends," and -cigaret fends?"
After all, what's the object of such imprison- "
ment? If it's the reformation of the drunkard-and
what else could it be?-is the workhouse the best
means of accomplishing it? There is celebrated
in Cleveland, of old with record of more
than 100 workhouse sentences for drunkenness. He's
reformed now, sober and useful citizen; but it
wasn't the workhouse that reformed him.
Religion has reformed drunkards who ap-
parently hopeless. So have stirring lectures. So
has quiet sefcommunion. Anything that appeals
to the sefrespect and powerfully stimulates the
will may do it. Mere Imprisonment does neither.
It deprives the victim temporarily liquor sup
ply, but seldom takes away the craving.
There ways, too, of removing the alcohol
hunger from the human system, just as there are
ways of removing drug hunger. The two types
really have much in common alcohol is drug.
Wouldn't it be to the point if communities set
about scientifically to alcohol-poisoned bodies
and stimulate acoholweakened Wills instead of sub
jectng the victim to purposeless punishment"
And of course, when the victims are cured in JUS
tice both to them and to the of the community
they ought to be protected from further temptation
as we protect children-by making it impossible
for them to get the stuff.

LAWS

the following dispatch from Bisbee.
Arizona:
1T now seems probable that, in
view OF the failure of the Arizona
legislature to pass the statutes neces-
sary for the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory clause Of the constitution. the
people will initiate and attempt to
pass by popular vote, five laws, COW
ering necessary points in the enforce
ment of the law, as follows:
"First-Over five gallons of liquors
and a government license in the pos
session of anyone shall be considered
prima facie evidence of a violation
of the law.
"Second-After conviction the
sheriff shall have power to destroy
all. liquors belonging to the con-
victed.
"Third-Persons owning property
where the liquors are found are a.
party to the crime.
"Fourth-All cases to be tried in
the Superior court.
''Fdfth-The attorney general shall
prosecute in counties where local au-
thorities neglect or refuse to do so,
and can change to any other court or
county"

Well, for thing, the belligerent Mexicans
are developing most pernicous tendency to get
out of bounds, invading territory looting Texas
ranches and shooting American citizens. They have
killed many of citizens in Mexico, too and con-
fscated or destroyed their property. They have
treated our people and our government infinitely
worse than Germany has.

driven on the TOWNSHIP. They were all happy and
rode in front of the procession in the old Modoc
stage around which clusters so many historical

have remained strong in the faith of a future day
their guests welcome.

NOTE is NOT FINAL ANSWER
German Secretary States Answer In

lCHQCQ 10 ESLdbUSH BdSto.
Berlin, via London, May 31.-The
imperial German foreign secretary,
Herr Won Jagow, has explained that
the German government had sent an
ad interim note to the United States
and not a final answer to President
Wilson's communication.
1.-The issues involved" said Herr
Won Jagow, "are Of such Importance
and the views in regard to the Lusi-
tania show such variance, that the
German government believed it es-
sential to attempt to establish COM
mon basis of fact before entering into
a discussion of the issues involved.
Eve hope and trust that the Ameri-
can government will take the same
view of the case and let US know in
what points their understanding of
the facts differ from the German view
point as set forth in the note, and in
what points they agree, before look
ing for direct answer to their com
munication
''The American note, of course,
leaves the way open for preliminary
discussion of the situation as sug-
gested in the German note. 1 hope
that such common basis of fact,
once established, may serve as the
ground work for further conversa-
tions."
