Words With
DR.. H. S. Williams

If fault may be found with pro
hibition" states, the fault lies with
enforcement of the prohibitory
statutes, and not with the principle
Of prohibition, according to Parker
D. King, of Summit, N. j., who
writes:
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Dr.. Henry Smith Williams is
quite right in saying that there is mo
necessary association between temper
ance and prohibition" Temperance
is a personal matter, while prohibition
is political matter, and that's just the
point. If he or 1 drink to excess it
doesn't matter much, but if he or ! go
into the business of making drunkards
and consequently help swell the num-
bers of public charges, that's differ
ent matter.
AS to Maine and Kansas, to which
the doctor refers. these states have
never had prohibition"-they have
had only prohibition law and it's null
LITIGATION or indifferent enforcement is
the cause for it's failure. where it has
failed. PARKER d. KING.

If one-half of the money, the effort,
the consecrated heroism, which many
are putting into such causes as relief
from sweatshops. child labor. bad hous-
ing and many other evils, could be put
in the work for prohibition alone, the
great cause of human comfort and up

saw her at the corner of Thirty eighth

est idea but that I was captured ant
there didn't seem to be much use In
resisting, unarmed as I was and with
two other German soldiers within q
few feet Of us.
Like flash II suddenly dawned on
me, however. that for all this soldier
could have known was only q Bel

searching me, which he proceeded to
do, was to ascertain whether / had
committed the common "crime" of
smuggling potatoes.
The Belgians were allowed only a
certain amount Of potatoes, and 1t is
against the laws laid down by the
Huns to deal In vegetables OF any
kind except under the rigid supervI.
sion Of the authorities. Nevertheless,
1t was one Of the principal vocations
OF the average poor Belgian to buy
potatoes out In the country from
peasants and then smuggle them into
the large cities and sell them clan
destinely at a high price.
To stop this traffic in potatoes, the
German soldiers were in the habit of
subjecting the Belgians to frequent
search, and was being held up by
this soldier for no other reason than
that he thought I might be potato
smugglerl
He felt Of my outside clothes and
pockets, and finding no potatoes

earned an iron cross! Or, perhaps, in
view Of the fact that / had heavy

He said something iH German,
which, Of course, did not understand,
and then some Belgian peasants came
along and seemed to distract his atten-
tion. Perhaps he had said: "It's all
right; you may go on" or he may
have been talking to the others In
Flemish, but at any rate, observing
that he was more interested In the
others than he was In me at the mo.
ment, I put the bottle In my pocket
and walked on.
After I walked few steps, took a
furtive glance backward and noticed
the soldier who had searched me re-

was a visitor in Circle the first of
the week and while here appoint
ed Henry Johnson of this place
deputy sheriff to fill vacancy
caused by the resignation of ]. j.

The appointment of Mr.. John

approval of every man in Cir Gle,
we believe, and will no doubt be
found a good man for the job,
who will attend to the duties of
the office in satisfactory manner.
While here Mr.. Twible brought
out all the ballot boxes for the
special election to be held on
March 10th to decide whether or
not the county shall bond for
5000, 1000 with which to purchase
seed grain this spring for needy
farmers. The task of holding a
special election this time of the
year is quite difficult one especi-
ally in reaching the outlaying dis
tricts, but Mr.. Twible said ar
rangements had been made to
have them all taken care of.
