side MT. Wilson has been guilty of many things during the course of his presidential career, has been guilty of many little slips which have tended to make him a legitimate object for attack. For one thing he has made an awful mess of things in Mexico. and has not been above censurious criticism in other matters. However. the man who does not bungle things once in a while is to be found only under an epitaph in the quiet shades of a cemetery so MT. Wilson should not be unduly blamed.
 And, after all, il is possible that he saw things with a larger vision, with more prophetic eye than most of us who have condemned his methods and has shaped his conduct of na- tional affairs along lines which pre- sented the fowest undesirable alter natives. In so doing he has perhaps spared us many unpleasant things. Perhaps his apparent faults were really virtues even as the knock may At any rate, if knocking ever helped anyone the president will undoubted votes are counted in November.

NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 8, 1ett

II there is no more than small percentage of fact in the popular say ing that a knock is a boost more often than not, one should not have more than a reasonable doubt as to the re- suits of the coming presidential cam paigu. Knocking the opposition is, of course, an essential part of politics. The hammer is by all odds the natur- al weapon of the politician and it's as5 a the political arena an accepted aIY1ege. Without the knock and the Iammer, politics would at best no
 than d dull and lifeless game shuaaod like by young and old. Out sae of politics the knock is more or less abhowed and condemned by everyone who has no occasion to use Ii themselves and the "knocker" is a thing despised by everyone but him. self But, let the knocker be d poli- tcian and the detested knock under goes a singular transition. When he uscs it, it's use becomes more or less of virtue; is no longer an evil thing except 10 the opposition.
 And, the greater the ability of the political lnocker al swinging the ham mer on the opponents of his party or ticket the greater his prestiage among his political henchmen. The harder he can knock the better he is liked bg hose of similar persuasion. And if he happens 10 be a master knocker, even the opposition will grant him wiling admiration in recognition of suTatlative ability.
 wever, it was not the intention 10 a.acuss the Inocker in any of his manifestations. What we wished to say was that if one fourth of the lnoe6s directed against the present occupant of the presidential chair de- Yelap into the almost proverbial .booss' he must infaliably be re- aurned the winner at the end of the present campaign.
 Even tho oldest politicians can hardly remember a presidential aspir- ant who has been so consistently slammed and banged as has the aca- demie Mir. Wilson. The old timers aver that not since the great Blaine was slaughtered back in 'S4 has a na- tion1l political figure been the object of Jueh wide spread and generous knocking as the present democratic nominee. Every one has taken a fling at h.m some time or other-even the p en bers of his own party. His prin- ciplas policies and acts have been denounced and condemned right and Jeff md every public statement has been subjected to the closest scrutiny and surrender to the hammer if found to contain a flaw Virulent criticism and bitter attacks have been his portion at all times during his in cumhency and little has been unsaid of undone 10 disparage his ideas and actions The only thing that has been Jeff untouched by the busy hammer wiolders is his personal reputation. In this respect alone he is apparently reproachless in the eyes of all It is all part of the game, of course, and be-

LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
ARE HEAVY HERE
EXPRfSSOFFICE CROWDED
Average of 200 Packages Arrive
Daily-Prohis Plan to Curb
Shipments.

Perhaps the busiest place in Con-
Way at present is the Wells Fargo
Express Company's office. Never be-
fore have such large quantities of
liquor been shipped into this city.
1t was estimated at the office this
afternoon than an average of more
than 200 packages of red eye" and
white mule" are being received here
daily. Additional help was neces-
sary to wait upon the people at the
Office. Crowds unable to gain admis-
sion to the office wait on the outside
for their turn. The cold weather
seems not to feaZe them. While most
of the goods are consigned to people
living in the county, Conway resi-
dents are getting their share. The
receipt of non-alcoholic packages is
somewhat less than in former years,
it was said.
Money orders to the amount of
$1,000 were issued last week at the
Conway postotfice Of this amount
it is estimated $4,000 was sent to
liquor houses. Saturday total of
ITS money orders was issued, Ill
being made payable to liquor houses.
The amount of Saturdays business
at the money order window was 1923,
and all but 1914 was for whiskey, it
is stated.
In spite of the big increase in ex-
press shipments, it is thought doubt
| full that there has been any real in
crease In former days hundreds of
people went personally to Little Rock
to do their Christmas shopping
bringing back packages" both inside
and out.
According to the Little Rock CORE
spendent of the Log Cabin Democrat,
bills are being drawn by the Anti
Saloon League, to be introduced early
in the legislative session for the furth-
er restriction and regulation of liquor
shipments into the state. This is in
line with the movement started by
Randall of Louisiana in congress, to
prohibit the use of the mails in the
solicitation of liquor orders.
The bill which the Arkansas gener-
!
modelled after the law now in effect in
Mississippi. 1t restricts shipments Of
liquor in various ways, and prohibits
the circulation of advertising matter
| for liquor houses, through the med.
ium of newspapers, picture shows, or
otherwise. 1t also provides that town
or city councils may, by ordinance,
! provide for the inspection of liquor
shipments by freight, express or 9TH
erwise, prescribing fee for the same.
has only changed its location, to some
point outside the state, whence it So
licits business by mail, and makes de-
livery by freight or express without
paying any revenue whatever. The
prevalent sentiment seems to be in
favor of making the prohibition laws
of the state liquor-tight. This will
be the attitude of the administration,
and it is believed that the general as
sembly will be "dry" by a large ma
jority. There is no talk of any eff
fort to secure repeal of the prohibit
ton law, since the overwhelming de-
feat of a measure of that character
by the people in the recent election
The sentiment is that there must be
no halfway enforcement of the liquor
laws, and that Arkansas must be
made what the people are demanding
I-bone-dry. q,

Two Boys Charged With
R0bbing Broken Bow Store

Broken Bow, Neb., July s.-(Spe-
cial. )-Floyd Boutwell, and Gene LIE
Moyne, two young men Of the city,
have been arrested by Sheriff Wilson
and jailed. They are charged by
Prosecutor Kelly with having robbed
the dry goods and clothing store of
H. B. Drake Of about $50 worth of
merchandise, including suits of
clothes, shoes, shirts, socks, under
clothing and large amount of ha-
berdashery. The store was entered
through a small window at the rear
and the burglars made their exit by
way of the back door. Boutwell, was
arrested in the park with a pair of
the stolen shoes on his feet, and
when the sheriff arrested the other
man in an attic he had on a pair OF
socks that came from the Drake store.
Both arrests declare their Innocence,
but later in the day Boutwell, told
the sheriff that most of the stolen
stuff was hid in the ruins of an old
house on the north side. He said he
was simply holding it for another
party who had left town and that
he had nothing to do with the bur-
glary. The goods were recovered.
Within five hours after the burglary
was discovered two arrests had been
made and the stolen property found
by the sheriff.

NECKTIES NOT PART
OF GUARD UNIFORM
Officer Strips One From Man
Ranks and Throws It on
Ground.
PEACE TALK NOT RELIsHED
tFrom a Staff Correspondent


Lincoln, July Especial. Meek
ties are not part OF the uniform of a
Nebraska soldier and cannot be worn
in connection with the uniform. This
has been discovered by several young
soldiers who have persisted in this
adornment contrary to military usage.
One young man appeared in line this
morning soadorned and the officer
promptly seized the offending necktie,
tore it from the neck of the soldier
and cast it to the ground.
The first real mystery of the camp
was disclosed this morning when a
uniform and equipment were found
lying under railroad viaduct near
town. There was no one inside the
uniform and it is supposed that some
soldier did not relish the idea of leav-
ing home and has deserted An effort
is being made to locate the missing
man. The first proceedings will be
to find the company short one soldier.
Colonel George F. Hunter, who is
here inspecting the Nebraska troops,
says Nebraska boys show up we'll for
state militia, butare lacking in that
essential feature which is necessary
to the man who expects to engage
in campaign mixed with the hard
ships Of climate like Mexico. How
ever he says they compare favorably
with the men of other states.
Newspaper reports that Carranza is
making an effort to fix things up with
the president do not strike the aver
age soldier boy, bent on a trip to
Mexico where he will have chance
to win glory, very favorably.
