Bootleggers Invent Many
 Ways to Defeat Dry Law

PHOENIX, Ariz.-'For ways tha: are dark and tricks that are vain, the 'bootlegging' man is peculiar, , would be an apt paraphrase of a well-known poem on the history of the illicit liquor trade in Arizona since the state went dry December Ii, 1914.
 The original "bootlegger," say those who profess to know, carried the whisky with which he did un- lawful trading concealed in fiat fasks in the legs of his boots, hence the name. One of these gentle men, the first to come under the eyes of the officers for many months, was captured in Phoenix recently, but the up-to-date pur- veyor of liquor in Arizona resorted to much more elaborate tricks to import or manufacture and sell his wares.
 The copper-lined trunk, with four compartments, shipped in from a non-prohibition state by express. was favorite up to a short while back, when federal officers arrestei one man in San Jose, California and another in Phoenix, who were making business of shipping these trunks back and forth.
 In Jerome, recently, large anc suspicious-looking barrel arrived b! express, according to the story tolc by the federal officials. It wa: heavy, and the deduction was tha. it was full of something. It Wa; deposited on the station platform but nobody came to claim it. Of fcers investigated and found i filled with whisky, so a close watct was set on the barrel, day ant night. There it stood for severa days till the arms of the law be came weary of the vigil and decide, to remove it to headquarters fol safekeeping.
 Then came the surprise. The bar rel that arrived full was empty and when it was moved the mys tery was explained by large augel hole in the station n1atfo-r, irnrne diately under it. Its owner knew i was being watched, so, without at tracting any undue attention, he hac crawled underneath the platform

ROOSEVELT
CHRISTIAN.

He once said, Woe to us all II
ever as a people We grow to condone
evil because 1t is successful" And
again, I'VE must make the sconn-
drel who succeeds feel the weight OF
a hostile public opinion even more
etrongly than the scoundrel who
fails. II there is one thing I DISLIKE
IL Is the expression, Business Is
business especially when II verges
on rascality." And then again: "If
q mans efficiency 10 not guided and
regulated by g moral sense, then tho
more efficient he Is the worse he is.
He was Il constant and close stu
dent OF the Bible. When elected
Governor he pledged himself TO run
the state according to the ten com
| mandments, He declared. III the
Bible we're removed, We would lose
! almost all the standards by which
we now Judge both public and pri
vate morals" And again. Almost
every man who has by his life work
added to the sum OF human achieve
ment has based his life work
largely upon the teachings of the
2. BILE"
He further affirmed. I'VE must
look to the church for acting the
standard ia morals and Righteousness
for the whole land" For he said,
THE vital thing to q nation ID the
spiritual, not the material" And IN
speaking OF the early settlers, he
testified, They did not divorce the
secular from the spiritual"
Gladstone once said: II have
heen a member OF the British cabi'
net forty-seven years and during
that time / have been associated with
fifty Of the master minds OF the
world and all but five were Chris-
t.ans." Colonel Roosevelt affirmed,
The man who carries Christianity
into his everyday work stands a bet
ter chance Of making a success OF life
