READ THE RECORD IN WATKINS
AFFIDAVIT

NEAD i III NECOkD In Watkins
AFFIDAVIT
Editorial From Bismarck Daily Tribune:
Watkins affidavit, showing the amount of
liquor shipped into Bismarck, is interesting for
several reasons. Many of the shipments
took place while Mr.. Watkins was chief
executive of the State Law Enforcement
League and also constable acting under Chief
Commissioner Patterson
During most of this time Mr. Watkins was
clothed with as much power as he would have
been under the proposed law creating tenn
perance commissioner. It might be interest
ing to the members of the State Temperance
Union to know why Mr.. Watkins let such large
quantities Of liquor come into the capital city
when he was constable, charged chiefly with
enforcing the prohibition law.
Here is a portion of Mr. Watkins affidavit,
made in connection with the suit brought by
Attorney General Linde under the Webb-Ken-
yon Law:
'"That the population in said city is
approximately 5000, and during the
month of August, 1918, the defendant
carrier transported and delivered in the
city of Bismarck 1,042 cases of beer, or
25,008 quart bottles thereof; that during
the month of July, 1914, the defendant
carrier shipped and delivered to persons
within said city of Bismarck 1871 cases
of beer, amounting to 32,904 quart bot
ties, and II cases of whiskey; that during
themonth of August, 1914, the defendant
carrier shipped and delivered in the city
of Bismarck 1,106 cases of beer, or
25,544 quart bottles, and 81 cases of whis-
key; that from and since about the LIST
day of January, 1915, to the 18th day of
April, 1916 the defendant carrier has
shipped and delivered to persons within
the city of Bismarck 3,404 cases of beer,
of 1886 quart bottles, and in addition
thereto, 273 cases of whiskey; that in ad-
dition to the foregoing as this affiant is
informed and believes, there has been
shipped into said city, over various ex-
press routes, other intoxicating liquors;
that the defendant company transported
and shipped such liquor in excessive and
unusual quantities to individuals in such
quantities that it knew or must have
known that the same was being used by
such individuals for purposes contrary to =
the law of the State of North Dakota"
These figures show that considerable sales
of liquor must have been going on in the city
of Bismarck during the period covered in this

ION League Admits
)oes Not Prohibit
TO FRIENDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
States Attorney, Burley County, North
Dakota, has been conducting an exhaustive in
quiry into the booze question in Bismarck.
During the past week numerous and SUM-
dry persons around town have been made to
appear and give their evidence as to where
and when and how they obtained their booze.
These parties have ranged in age from boys of
sixteen to men of seventy, and have included
high school boys and business men, in fact,
everybody who is properly supposed to take
NIP" at times was summoned.
Estates Attorney 'Berndt, in connection
with Law Enforcement Officer Watkins, and
Attorney General Lnde, are gathering evil
dence against the blind piggers and bootleg
ing been able to violate the prohibition laws
with impunity.
''The examination was the outgroWth Of
recent seizures of booze consigned to fictitious
names at the 500 depot. The 500 agent, be-
lieving that some of the liquor was intended
for illegal purposes called the States Attor-
neys attention to the shipment. Within
short time warrants will be sworn out against
seven of the illegal sellers of liquor and their
cases will be pushed for conviction"
The speakers for the Prohibitory Amend
ment have been telling the people over this
state how successfully the prohibition law
works in North Dakota. They have been told
this so often that great many are beginning
to believe it; in fact, few of the speakers
have told it so often that they are beginning to
believe it themselves. We are aware of the
fact that the average man does not have time
to look up the records as to the workings of
prohibition in the various states.
The prohibition orators have been telling
the people how they would reduce crime and
save the boy and girl, if only they would adopt
prohibition. Has crime decreased in North
Dakota? Have the boy and girl been saved in
that prohibition state? Did not the head of
the Law Enforcement league state over his
own sworn signature that 1886 quarts of
beer and 273 cases Of whiskey were shipped
into Bismarck in short period? Did not the
head Of the Law Enforcement league state
that high school boys had been summoned be-
fore the States Attorney in order to state
where they secured their liquor? Doesn't it
appear to you from the above statement of
the head of the Law Enforcement league that

In little more than three months more
than $1,000 bottles of beer were shipped into
the city and 273 cases of whiskey. The Attor-
ney Generals office states that this record was
exceeded even by former period.
WATKINS LETTER TO FARGO, ND,
PAPERS
ITO Friends of Law Enforcement:
"A number of States Attorneys have COM
planned to me that their county commissioners
will not set aside the amount provided by law
to obtain evidence against violators. The
law provides that the county commissioners
set aside any amount not to exceed 100000
per year for the use of the States Attorneys
for such purposes. A number of States Attor-
neys have asked for aid and have been refused
any money whatever for such purposes, so
they write me, and others say that their county
commissioners tell them to go ahead and they
will O. K the bills after such bills come in and
if they find them satisfactory This is not fair,
as the States Attorney goes ahead and spends
money, only to be refused payment, and often
he is left holding pack of trouble over a bill
he cannot pay
REFUSES TO ALLOW EXPENSES
ION one occasion our detectives were put
on trail of such Board of County Commission
ers, and they were found to be gambling and
drinking in bad resort. One other occasion
the States Attorney collected from cases,
started on evidence furnished by the North
Dakota Law Enforcement league, attorney
fee to the amount Of $4,000 and fines
amounting to 100000, besides sheriff and
witness fees, thus making clear gain of
S1,500.00 for the county. YET upon the re-
quest of States Attorney, the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners would not and did not allow
bill of expense Of more than 100000 costs,
to get the evidence They cut the bill to about
$4,000 and allowed it.
TOUSE PUBLICITY
If the States Attorney will report these
conditions to the North Dakota Enforcement
league we will in the future look up the matter
and publish the facts in the paper so the people
may know that their County Commissioners
are in league with the blind pigger gamblers
and bawdy-house keepers
II suggest that the people and our Vigi-
lance Committee over the state find out the
facts in their county and start movement
to leave at home in 1916 election any commits
sioners who will not do the right thing by law
enforcement.

Bernard Shaw's Romantic
Comedy" Satire in English
Speech and Manners

Pygmalion. in Greek legendary, was
king of Cyprus. who conceived a
hatred against the whole sex which
his countrywomen represented. Ac-
cording to Ovid, he made an ivory fe-
male statue OF such exceeding beauty
that he fell in love with it himself.
Bernard shaw's "Py~malion" Is a
man whose hobby is phonetics and who
makes it his business to such an extent
that he can tell all about an Individual
merely from his speech. He is one
who hates society and looks at all wo-

fower girl from the streets of London
and moulds her into such a form that
she becomes in six months capable of
passing for a duchess. The famous play
wright does not live up to the legend
and have the two married off at the
end of the play. That is not Shaw's
way. 1t does not interest him. And.
to tell the truth, 1t did not seem to mat
ter one way or the other to the under
sized audience that dotted the house.

although classed as romantic comedy:
The subtle wit and finished artistry of
the entire English cast gave zest and
freshness to the play which was stimu-

much praise cannot be given for the
masterly way in which lie portrayed
