 The post-office was entered again last week, the state police believing it to be the work of professionals this time. The garage of Mahlon Gray was entered, the lock being broken and two heavy rubber lined robes were taken. These were found We'd nesday morning in the post-office, it evidently being the intention of the burglars to use them in breaking the safe. AS the day lock was on they were able to examine the contents without using violence. Many of MT. Lasbury's private papers were scat tered about. Nothing was taken, as the safe was empty of valuables.
 To the Editor of The Press: I have learned that someone is cir culating widely in Stafford a state ment to the effect that 1 am opposed to prohibition and have published a leaf1et stating that fact. I desire to correct this error and to state that am as strongly in favor of prohibition as ever, absolute, bone-dry, nation wide, worldwide prohibition, includ- ing wine, beer, ale and any other alco- holic liquor. It is true that I did pub fish for the ministers of my denomina- tiOn a pamphlet entitled "The Dangers in National Prohibition" but it was clear even to the most superficial reader that the dangers" were de- clared to fe an immediate letting up of effort upon the part of the temper ance forces. I urged carefulness and continuance and I used, amongst other statements, these words: We are hencefOrth to work as faithfully for international world wide prohi- bitiOn as we have worked for prOhi- bitiOn at home." Trusting that this will sufficiently answer the charge" /" l remain yours truly,
