The man who suggests that High

As old New Workers. know. and some
young ones too. High Bridge was
erected for the purpose OF carrying
the Croton water pipes across the

water mains would be carried under
the river and the tail arches removed
so that the bridge site might be turned
into factory plots.
Another suggestion emanating from
the same source has to do with the

strengthen the argument for the re-
moval OF the bridge. figures are cited
to show that approximately 1000 ves-

course of a year.
From a commercial viewpoint tho
suggestion may he a good one, but

particular vote one of the candi-

providing that there can be no
change in the result from that

carded, even though it is known
to be fraudulent, except through
a contest. So the tie vote is en-

COAL OIL TO The RESCUE

On account of the shortage of
properly insulated freight cars,
the railroads are furnishing to
shippers of produce, ordinary
box cars, lined with paper and
equipped with kerosene heaters.
The Standard Oil Company in

and potatoes, apples particular
ly, have taken to the idea and are
now taking ordinary cars from
the railroads and equipping them
with heaters. The company's
main station at Tacoma, the re-
port says, sold out it's entire stock
of heaters in a week, to parties
in the fruit-packing districts of

is more heaters!'

Howard BLazzard
Winner of Contest

Every year the students OF the
Brigham Young University,
Provo, Utah, look forward to the
oratorical contests which are held
on the last day of school before
the Thanksgiving holidays. Great
interest has been displayed on
these occasions, but more en-
thusiasm was shown this year
than ever before.
There were eleven contestants
taking part in the preliminary
tryout and out of these three
were chosen to appear in the final
contest. Their names were:
Howard Blazzard, Alice Yensie
and Elvon Jackson.
On Wednesday, November 29th,
the final contest was held, and
each student who entered is to
be highly complimented on his
Grafton, which showed evidence
of much careful thot and prepara-
ton.
Blazzard dealt in his grafton
with every day problems which
are seemingly small, but after
all are most vital. His delivery
was especially commendable.
Miss Yensie gave some very
beautiful thots on the subject of
Friends and much praise is
due her for her earnest effort.
The theme of his Grafton rem
dered by Elvon Jackson was
What Am | Fit For" and he
presented in a forceful way,
many of the intricate problems
of life and left with his audience
the desire to accomplish things
that are really worth while. His
work deserves him commenda-
ton.
The decision of the judges was
unanimous for Blazzard.

sen and Attorney Parker. The

LAWBREAKING BECOMES COMMON

The following editorial from
the Douglas Dispatch is very
apropos in regard to like condi-
tons here, and it cannot be much
worse in Douglas than it is here,
especially during the past week,
when bootlegging has been the
popular game and drunkenness
the result:
Notwithstanding the fact that
the police are striving strenuously
to stop bootlegging here, there
does not seem to be any let up in
the practice of obtaining liquor
from outside points, and drunken
men still are seen on the streets.
Whiskey is coming into Douglas
every day, and it is consigned to
many people who would resent
very vehemently the imputation
that they were just ordinary law
breakers. 1t is true, however,
and they cannot get around the
charge any more than thief can
evade the responsibility when
caught with the goods. Whether
or not there will be search and
seizure action on the part of the
officers is yet to be seen; yet, by
continually flouting the laws de-
sired by a majority of the people
of the State, they are encour-
aging just such action as this on
the part of the authorities. What
is the use of prodding the police
to abolish the liquor traffic, when
some of those who are crying the
loudest against alleged laxity on
the part of the officers, are get
ting all the booze" they want
through the mails or in other
ways? The police do not want
to go into homes and search for
liquor, even if they know of resi-
dences where the owners are de-
flying the law by keeping it on
hand. 1t is something they ought
not to have to be compelled to do,
but if they are criticized contin-
ually by persons who keep their
own sideboards well supplied,
law or no law, they necessarily
will be compelled to go over the
city with a fine-tooth comb,
showing favor to none.
There has been argument put
forth that the law, as adopted, is
unconstitutional. 1t may be, but
no high court decree has yet
made it void, and, until then, it
should be obeyed to the letter.
Why a person rigidly will ad-
here to all other laws and break
the laws pertaining to liquor
without a moments hesitation is
one of the puzzles of human ma
ture. A big howl would be raised
if officers were to meet the trains
and search the baggage of all
passengers, yet something like
this is going to take place one of
these windy days. 1t is about
time citizens who claim to be
law-abiding should practice what
they preach.
