THE PROFITEER

THE BIG HUNT is on, but will the profiteer
DE caught and Gagged when found? That
is the question nowadays We know the prof
iteer is with US. but until we know positively
Just who he is we must speak only in general
terms when we mention him. When we say
that he ought to be hanged, as we do say at
moments of extreme eXasperation-and some
of US feel like saying it in moments of calm de-
liberation, for that matter-do we really mean
that we shall insist upon having him hanged, or
at the very least upon having him punished un-
der the laws, when we have caught him in the
act?
Perhaps we really don't mean it. The result
of the big hunt will determine that. Who is
the profiteer-ju ust who is he? Let US get
down to specific instead of general terms. The
profiteer may be your neXt-door neighbor He
may be your fellow-clubman, fellow-church-
man, acknowledgement. In any event. there is
every reason to believe that he is citizen Of
Influence in the community. In some cases the
profteer very probably is the leading citizen,
so called. In other cases he may be a substan-
tia pillar of the church. In still other instances
ne probably is high up in lodge work.
What are we going to do about the profit
eer when he is caught with the goods on, so to
express it? If the federal government and the
state government and the county and city ad-
ministrations, working together, finally ferret
out and put the clamps of discovery and denti-
ty upon the profiteer in your immediate COM
munty, what are you going to do about it ? Are
you going to continue to extend to him the right
hand of fellowship-just because he is "a good
fellow" as the phrasing goes? Or will you
insist that he be hanged or otherwise punished
preferably not hanged, of course, for that
would be Judge Lynch's verdict but properly
punished, to the end that he won't do it again
AS you see, this thing is coming home
coming right home-for you yourself really
and truly may be the profiteer. And it is pos
sible that if you are the profteer you never
have regarded yourself in exactly that light;
you neer have felt that you are in reality a
rotter who ought to be caught and Gagged and
otherwise curbed, in the interest of common
and common decency; you never
nave permitted yourself to think Of yourself
rs one who takes advantage of deplorable pub
ic disasters for your private enrichment 1t is
ust possible, we say
Boiled right down to it's ultimate. so to
peak, the profteering proposition has jolt
md joker. Now let's see if the citizen who
las complained of profiteerng with solid
,round for complaints going to cooperate
With the authorities when they run down the
rofteer. Let's see! Let's see!

Amazing Revelations of England's
Attitude Toward u. S. and Pointed
Criticism Of Treatment of Ireland

Is It possible that England and
America can work together while the
Irish question remains unsettled? we
think not.
TT is likely. therefore, that some
paltry measure of self government
doomed to failure If it every came
into being. and possibly deliberately
designed - be failure, will be dress
ed up and called Domini status and
paraded for the benefit OF America
with a Wow of alternating American
sympathy from what would be de-
scribed as unreasonable Irish de-
mands"
Although Lord French declares that
the average Englishman refuses to
see the situation he says:
There is, however, school OF
English thought which partially re-
allies these facts and looks for saliva
ton in close cooperation with a
rehat iiitated Germany, but which,
penang the accomplishment of this,
would favor parleying over Ireland to
a Sufficient extent to keep America
qniot. Promises are cheap and full
h'lment might not have to be made.
If there is school of English
thought which favors real settle
ment OF the Irish question it still has
to declare itself.

Peoule Can Stop Moonshining
Church Valley News,.


That there Is a lot Of moonshining
going on In this section of the state
is undeniable. Violaters OF law are
most numerous in mountain sections
and in populous cities. In these two
localities hiding is easiest. Illicit dis
ulleries have been found In the heart
OF New York city. The mountain
Businesses afford good hiding places,
not easy but hazardous to approach,
on the part of officers OF the law.
Not every revenue officer has the
courage to beard the lion in his
den." The cowardice OF the officers
OF the law, which is rarely found In
these mountain hunters, is not the
only. nor significant hindrance in the
way of the capture of the lawbreak-
ers. but the cowardice and conniving
of private citizens of the community.
who for reasons fail to give informa-
ton and assistance to the officers. In
some instances the people living in
the community of the stillhouse are
friends OF the bootlegger. sharing In
his profits. In many instances the
citizens OF the community know Of
what is going on. but are afraid to
give the information. Il will give
you the facts but don't use my name"
Is a frequent request received in this
Office from good people who are suf-
fering from the effects and disorders
Of the :.ioonshiners in their commun-
ity. In report published In this pa
per last week, 1t was said that an Of
ficer could not get any one to help
him In his raid until he exercised his
authority TO deputise man to help.
This deputy was afterwards cowardly
shot by the men, presumably, upon
whom he informed.
The point Is, that the wretched
business win not soon stop unless the
people of the community take a
hand, and stand squarely behind the
officers of the law. follow the culprit
10 the grand jury room and trial
court and see to it that Justice Is
melted out. AS the moonshiner defles
the law SO must the people defy the
moonshiner, and sec to 1t that the law
is obeyed. Neither county nor state
lines should be allowed to bar the
way of law administration in this
business.
In every community where the sale
OF liquor is going on in violation OF
law the citizens should band them
selves together and uphold the Of
ficers OF the law. and II tho officers
do not do their duty there Is q rem
edy. When we censure the ofIicers
for dereliction in duty however we
should be sure that we have done our
part In the fight
