No Bonds for Bootleggers.

ing continnances sought by attorneys
for the accused. The present condition
Of affairs in this city in respect to the
Illicit liquor traffic is seandalous. The
court is congested with cases awaiting
trial. The traffic itself is fragrant, i'm
pudent in its defiance of the law. The
utmost activities Of the police have
not availed to check it. Even the se-
verest penalties have not materially di-
minished the enterprise Of the boot
leggers, who are tempted by the enor-
nous profits. It was thought that pos.
sibly some betterment might come
through the institution of federal
prosecution under the Internal reve-
nue. act, with its higher penalties But
these cases have been delayed, and
the good that may result from convis-
ton and punishment has been post
poned. So serious are the conditions,
so shameless is the traffic, that martial
law has even been proposed for the
clearance of at least the districts Of
brazen liquor selling. The govern
