THREE PROPOSITIONS

There are three propositions to be disposed of. The disposition of the con- traband liquors seized, the punishment of the 1awbreakers and the investiga- tion of the officials through whose laxity these conditions were permitted to exist.
 Prom the amount of liquors seized I contemplate there will be an appeal from whatever decision may be rendered by the justices court issuing the writs of seizure to the court over which you pre- side. The writs upon which these seiz- ures were made have been returned and the time set for their hearing. The regular term of your court does not con- vene until October, which, I think, is too remote to meet the emergencies pre- sented. The expense to the state of handling the situation at present is large, and that within itself is suffi- cient to justify extraordinary measures.
 And while the eyes of the state are upon the citizens of Russell county I think an opportunity should be granted to them to show to the people of the state that they love and revere the i'm stitutions of freedom, and that the spirit of patriotism still abides in the hearts of it's people.
 For these reasons, .I suggest that you make your arrangements for calling special term of the circuit court in Rus sell, county, and that the time of the converting of said court be fixed so that the shortest time practicable will in tervene between the disposition of tnes. cases by the justices court and the be- ginning of the special term of your court, so that there may be no unnecessary de- fay. You should also have a grand jury summoned to investigate the violations of the law that have been developed, and alst the acts of such county officials through whose indifference this condition was made possible.
 CONFIDENCE IN CITIZENS
 II believe when this is done the citi- zeus of Russell county will prove equal to the emergency, and that it will not De necessary for the central authorities to again interfere except it be under the direction of the authorities of said county.
 Tn charging the grand jury you should lay stress upon the duties of officials re- sponsible for law enforcement. and ask the grand jury to make returns of it's
 Investigations and recommendations re- latng to these as we'll to law break CTS.
 ''The citizens of Russell county are now acquainted with the conditions that existed among them. We want to place the full responsibility upon them of clearing it up. I believe they will prove equal to the occasion, if not, then the strong arm of the state government will continue to exercise it's authority to com mand respect for law and order.

SAINTS AND SINNERS"
 Miss Peggy Hyland won the hearts of the patrons of the Strand theatre yesterday in Saints and Sinners and larity in the movies following her suc- cessful debut. If the camera view of Henry Arthur Jones play had no other purpose than to introduce to the American public Miss Peggy Fly land it would still rank as one of the most important productions of the year. As crowded as the studios of the country are with stars, fixed and shooting, there is still room for Peggy Hyland.

Bentz Pleased With Sale
of Great Jefery Works

A bigger, greater Jeffery organiza-
ton is seen by automobiles world
prophets as a result of yesterdays sale
of the mammoth Kenosha manufac-
turing plant Foremost among the pur-
chasers of the Thomas B. Jeffery Com
pany is Charles w. Nash, of Flint,
Mich, man with a nationwide rep
utation for his constructive conserva-
tism in the motor car industry. Mr..
Nash took active charge of the man
agement of the big plant on August
l, at which time his connection with
the General Motors Company was
completely severed.
Announcement of the sale of the
company, which is capitalized at S3,-
100000, came as a surprise to the au-
tomobile world. Exact figures giving
the price paid for the stock were not
made public. The present directors,
Charles T. Jeffery, Harold w. Jeffery
and Thomas NJ. Kearney, will continue
for some time as directors of the new
company. Under the new regime the
aggressive policy of expansion inaug-
urated during recent years by the Jeff
cry company will be carried forward
on an even greater scale.
j. A. Bentz. distributor for Jeffery
motor cars and trucks, was enthusias-
tic over the news from Kenosha. He
predicted under the new control a
rapid development and further expan-
sion of the Jeffery concern, which has
been so marked during the last several
years.
AT this particular time" said Mr.
Bentz. there is nothing which could
have a better effect upon the Jeffery
organization. The remarkable prog
ress made by the Jeffery company in
its production of pleasure cars and
trucks will be greatly enhanced by this
new development in the organization.
The downright goodness of the Jeffery
products will continue to delight jeff
cry owners, and look for great big
things to happen in the new organi-
zatiofi"

day with an address by the Rev. Fred

chief aim Of life was the development
of personal character and that the
national ideal was the physical. men
tai and spiritual culture of all. The
inequality Of opportunity was. he
said. one Of the greatest problems of
the day.
The remedies which he proposed

the problem and obligation to bring
about a better relation between capi-
tai and labor: second, there should be
conciliatory spirit on both sides.
Then there should be a public spirit to
demand immediate arbitration where

In an effort TO arouse interest in

reduce the number of grade crossing
accidents on the Pennsylvania rail
road. the company has issued official
stickers TO be used on correspond
ence and posted I'm conspicuous places
where they will attract the attention
of the general public The stickers
are red in color, about the size of an
ordinary postage stamp, and bear the
words, Keep of the track. Keep your
family, friends and employees off the
deadly railroad tracks" In the white
margin around the gummed sticker
are the worlds. "Anti-track walking
crusade" A supply Of the stickers
has been received in this city, and
they are being used by the clerks on
correspondence and otherwise.
The Pennsylvania railroad in its
campaign TO prevent grade crossing
accidents in addition to usual warn
ing signs posted 100 yards on each
side of a crossing will distribute pos
ters TO be placed In railroad stations
and along prominent highways.

The FIRST sign viii be a cautonary
/ signal telling of the near approach TO

toists to stop. then look and listen
and the third informs the drivers that
the crossing is 100 yards ahead This
plan is similar 10 that adopted by
the Long Island Railroad, which is
using large posters along highways

None of these problems he said

which we, as a nation, ought to de-
fend
In conclusion he said Real pre-
paredness is to set up an interna-
tional policy that shall be a substi-
tute for war. Alerady there are
more than 500 international organi-
cations striving to this end Military
and civil authorities are agreed that
war is wrong. The function Of States
