PROHIBITION

"DRY LAW ENFoRcERs" FIND
MANY TRICKY TERMS TO
LOOK OUT FOR.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Denver.-Interpret of many
points of the prohibition penalty law
were generally agreed upon Tuesday
by the district attorneys and sheriffs
of the state in a special meeting held
at the capitol for consideration of en-
forcement of the law when it goes
into effect Jan. 1. But upon one point
of wide interest to the public there
was a divergence of opinion. Some
held that under the law person can
not give away to guests in his home
liquor imported into the state after
Jan. l. Others held that an individ-
ual can give such liquor to friends on
the condition that the liquor is i'm
ported for his own personal use and
the giving of 1t is merely incidental.
Attorney General Farrar and many
others hold that the imported liquor
can be given away in "A private home
within limits determined by its use.
John Rush, district attorney of Den
yer. and others, believe that only
liquor ON hand Jan. l can be given
away in the homes afterward and
that the wording of the law strictly
prohibits the giving away of imported
liquor, thus coufining it absolutely to
the use of the importer.
Under the later Interpretation a
man could give the imported liquor
to his family, that being construed as
personal use, but not to friend who
happened to be in the house.
Of 1au hat
doubtedly be surprising to the general
public were brought out in the discus
sions and generally agreed upon.
Among these were:
That, under an Interpretation of the
law by the attorney general, persons
living in hotels will be violating the
law if they keep liquor in their rooms
in the hotels. Attorney General Far
rar holds that The law, by specifically
mentioning hotels and rooming and
boarding houses. puts them outside
the classification of private homes. AL
though a man and his wife, or sin
gle man, make their homes in rooms
in hotels they will be violating the
law if they give away or even keep
liquor in their rooms.
Liquor cannot be kept in clubs al
all. 1t will be violation of the law
for person to carry liquor for per
sonal use from one county to another
or from another state into Colorado
without registering the fact and the
amount with the county clerk.
Persons importing liquor as freight
will have to go to the freight houses
to get the, liquor themselves, unless
the railroads install delivery services;
q delivery of liquor by an agent is for
bidden.
Express or other shipments deliv
cred directly by the carrier can be re
+ ceived only by the consignee in per
son. mans wife, son or brother
can not sign the necessary affidavit,
of receipt for him.
Whether near beers" soda pop and
other soft" drinks that contain al
cohol are intoxicating beverages and
prohibited from sale will have to be
determined as subjects of fact
There appeared to be preponder
ance of opinion that persons import
ing liquor after Jan. l can give the
liquor away in their homes.

Relative to the coming OF so many

them that is still flowing in. upsetting

matter with serious alarm and COM

There are now 10000 new immi'
grants from Mexico In Texas. More
are coming In every day. The United
States Is going to be none the better
for their coming-and the labor mar.
ket In the state Is already demorallzed
as result. With so many newcomers
from across the border there Is In
creased danger OF Mexican disturb
anccs In West Texas and greater pros
pect Of epidemics OF disease. Already
Mexican labor has displaced American

New Mexico. And there are manufac

ing the difficulties we had to contend
with. think we were a very indus
trious family about bathing. In the
first place, the reservoir ON the kitchen
range had to be filled thirteen separate
times. 1t was the unvarying rule that
each member Of the family old enough
to carry pail must bring water from
the clsten In the woodshed for the
one next In turn. 1t was a sad day
for the wretch who used all the water
and forgot to ill the reservoir. Then
the tub had to be emptied each time

light enough to carry. -Atlantic.

Ways Of the Puffer Fish,

The little puffer fish has attracted
the attention Of scientists from earliest
times on account Of Its shrewd habit
Of defending itself by imitation. The
moment 1t scents danger in the form
of larger fish searching for dinner
II instantly distends itself with water
until It becomes almost spherical In
shape. so that no ordinary fish could
swallow It. Director Townsend Of the
New York aquarium placed few good
sized soup, or porgies, In tank which
contained dozen young buffers about
two inches In length. which the hun
cry soup attacked at once. Instantly
the baby buffers Inflated themselves
and became almost globular In form,

do more than knock them about like

FAvoRs CITY MANAGER PLAN.


" In favor of the commission form
OF city government operating through
a city manager. It's latest editorial
on the subject is an able presentation
of the case and The Eagle gives 1t
space believing 1t is very opportune
at this time as Bryan is now consid'
ering the matter OF new charter
and perhaps later change In Its form
Of government:
Speaking Of the weakness OF the
commission form Of government, the
president Of the National Short Bal
lot association says efficiency is a
plant Of slow growth. It does not
thrive in shifting sand. Anyone who
has followed the politics Of the city
government long enough will agree to
this contention.
These defects are not found in the
commission managers plan.
The lines Of responsibility are clear
and straight. They never fork or
leave you wondering who is respon.
sible. The plan gives a strong. single
headed executive presiding over all
departments, coordinating their &C
tivities, acting as a court OF appeal
in such cases of department rivalry or
friction. The people can select the
truest representatives unhampered
by any considerations Of the business
experience or Safeguarding capacity
of their favorites.
Moreover. these representatives
after election, have In turn surel
grip on the government through ;
manager than II they were individual
ly compelled to assume departmeL
direction.
Membership in the commission be
comes attractive to the abIest either
since II offers opportunity for higl
usefulness without interruption o
their private career. '
Often a specific cash saving an
pears at the outset. A city that 4
paying five commissioners $4,000 eacl
can hire a $4,000 manager. pay tn,
commissioners some nominal sum AM
save money. And the one high grad
man should do a better quality o
work than the five low.paid ones.
After all the lawyers with thei
notions OF checks and balances an
mysterious red tape have been wron
all these years. Municipal govern
ment can be designed better by
business man following the familia
model OF his own corporation enteI
prises. The people stockholders
elect n commission (board OF dire
tors.) who hire a city manager (gei

reefs the employees.
In foreign lands the plan has bee
well.nigh universal under varlo,
names for many decades, The &c
man councils advertise for their pr
fessionai burgomastefs. take tho
from successful work in small'
towns and pay them well.
This plan OF government has bee
tried sufficiently in the United Stat
to prove that common sense works
well In charter making as anythi'
else.

The Eagle was never In greater
earnestness about anything than II Is
In Its appeal to the farmers Of the
country not to abandon the plan OF
diversification that was just getting
good start In Brazos county and re.
turn to the all.cotton plan OF farming.
Diversification Is the only safe farm.
ing that can be done in this country.
II matters not II you had written
guarantee that the price OF cotton
would be high again next year, II Is
also true that everything else will be
high and your cotton money will all
be consumed in buying those things
you will be compelled to have. All
food items and feed OF all kinds can
be raised at home cheaper than they
can be bought. This cannot be dis.
puted and good business would then
suggest that they had better be raised
at home. With these things produced
at home. the cotton money will be
clear profit, or practically so, and the
farmer can save something. add to his
bank account as well as add to the
independence OF himself and family
Diversified farming means self-protec
ton. and every farmer is due this pro
lection to his family. for 1t cannot be
denied that all-cotton farming makes
slaves OF the farmer himself. his wife
and every child on the place.
