The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-02-05

Those republicans who demand
Intervention in Mexico, and those
republicans who declare that this
country is not even prepared to
defend itself, ough to get together.
Their theories disagree as badly
as do the present facts with their
tariff predictions.
Editors are in the habit of writ
ing things about people. But
seldom does the editor see him
self described in print. The fol-
lowing is description of the edi-
tor of the Examiner as written
by one of the young women in the
journalistic course at the Unlver-
sity of Washington as part OF the
assignment given to the freshman
students:
"There was an Irishman at the
newspaper Institute held at the
University of Washington. He
might have been a fire eater. His
eyes were auburn-colored with
large, black, flashing pupils. They
glinted and cleaned through his
gold-stemmed spectacles. Enough
hair for three men covered his
head. 1t, too, was auburn, and
stood out like a brush above his
shaved neck. Also, it was parted
almost in the middle, which, COM
bined with his eyes, gave him a
look of fanatical intensity His
nose was thin and long, with a
bend in it that probably has a
history. Full lips, with fem
mime appearance, and strong, de-
cided chin contradicted them
selves in the lower part of his
face. He was tall and sparely
formed, wearing black suit of
gabardine, and a black necktie.
Finally, his name is j. G. Harri-
gan, and he's the editor of the
Colville Examiner. Whoa, Dyna-
mite ~
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-02-05

Instead OF putting quletus on
the liquor subject, the new liquor
law of this state seems to open a
vast field of speculation as to
what the law means, and the at
torney general has been swamped
with questions, and the various
prosecuting attorneys have We'd
with themselves in disagreeing on
the various statements of the law
1t is discovered that a quart OF
beer is not a quart, but only
about "a ounces, therefore an in
dividual can have 16 supposedly
quart bottles of beer shipped
every 20 days in addition to 2
quarts of liquors.
1t is discovered that search OF
residence is most dangerous
thing, regardless of the state
ments of the law, and prosecuting
attorneys are advising against any
such search unless the evidence is
overwhelming that there is an IL
legal sale or distribution Of
liquors. Other states have had
experience in searching private
residences, with disastrous fnan-
cial results to the searchers, as
suits are generally brought
against the searchers and the
sanctity of the home has been full
ly established. If prosecuting
attorneys are wise, they will de-
mand a good financial response
bility of those who desire to
search homes, and all searching
officials will make good investiga-
tion before attempting to invade
the sanctity of the American
home, under fear OF suit being
brought against their bondsmen.
Another point of interest is
being brought out relative to
publicity of those who secure
liquor permits from county au-
ditors. Inasmuch as temperance
workers, prohibition advocates,
church organizations and anti
saloon societies have all agreed
that the permit system is the
proper and right method of Sc
curing liquor, and the law has
been thoroughly Christianized and

DELINQUENT TAX LISTS

Sheriff and Tax Collector T. C.
CARROT publishes in this issue of
The Commonwealth the list Of lands
delinquent for taxes for the fiscal
year 1915-16 in Leflore County. It
is the smallest list of delinquents
Lef1ore county has had during the
past three years, which evidences the
good financial condition of our peo-
pie. The delinquent sale takes
place Monday, April 3rd.
The delinquent land list for the
City Of Greenwood is also published
in this paper by City Clerk S.. H.
Montgomery, and it is decidedly the
smallest list ever advertised for
taxes in this city. Greenwood realty
is priced too highly to allow the tax
collector a chance to advertise it for
tayes.

BIG COTTON SALE

The staunch firm of Humphrey &
Company, with head offices in Green
wood, bought 1O44 bales of cotton
from Capt M. P. Sturdivant, of Glen
dora last Tuesday, paying him twelve
cents per pound for the entire con-
signment.
There was considerable activity on
the part of local buyers submitting
competitive bids for this shipment.
but the price bid by Humphrey &
Co. of twelve cents per pound was
the best bid, over $4,000 being paid
for this lot of Mr.. Sturdivant's
present crop.
The handling Of this big lot, and
The fancy price paid for same, and
the activity always shown by COM
petitive buying firms, is the explana-
ton why Greenwood always main
tains her unquestioned supremacy
as the biggest and best cotton mar
ket in Mississippi, and the fifth
largest inland market in the world.
