so fast that no time was lost and
the taxpayers saved a good
hundred dollars. Ihis was due
to the able and efficient manner
with which the Judge and dis
trict attorney conducted the
business of the court. The in
dictments against Carl S. Davis
were dismissed and the two
cases charged with a statutory
crime were tried without delay
and the jury in both cases found
the parties guilty as charged.
The sentence was indeterminate
from three to twenty years.
Walter Hodges was convicted on
the girls evidence and Harlan
Long of Alsea confessed the
crime and saved long and ex-
pensive trial. This of course
pleases the taxpayers.
The Bone Dry Law seems to
shut off the use of spirits and
liquor almost entirely. If every
one was made alike this might
do; but when we consider the
millions of human beings on the
earth that have different con-
stitutions and many of them in
sickness and at other times need
stimulents without which life
would be burden to them, it
looks foolish to debar such per-
sons the benefit OF such stimu-
lents for the sake of the few
who cannot control their ap-
petites. Such weak kneed peo-
pie are hardly worth saving. II
is the abuse of alcohol that does
