Boston.

ROPER GETS MANY
 LETTERS FROM "DRYS"
Commend Him For Stand on Prohibi- tiOn--"Wets'' Also Write Protest

Washington, April 14.-Hundreds of inquiries, protests and expressions of approval reached Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper today as result of his announcement that the internal revenue bureau had neither specific authority nor sufficient agents to en- force prohibition adequately after July 1.
 From all parts of the country and a wide variety of interests came tele. grams asking for details in regard to the internal revenue law. The treasury department, it was stated today, has not made and will not make any representations to President Wilson concerning possible
 means of postponjng the effectiveness of prohibition until the constitutional am endment goes into effect January 1 16, 1920. Other officials and advisors | of the president have discussed this situation with him, however, it was said
 Officials indicated their belief that | the question of resembling the war
 time prohibition act would become an 1 issue in congress in the coming spe-
 cial session. Reports that Commits
 sioner Roper had proposed to the
 president some action to prevent pro- ! hibition from going into effect July 1, 1 Were specifically denied

years results if the people want the gardens. He submits the following advice for those intending to plant DO tatoes this year:
 "In selecting your variety of seed potatoes 1t is very essential that you select one that seems to be the best adaped to this locality. This year it is earnestly recommended that Dib- bles Russet be selected for planting. It is a variety of potato which is Of very fine quality, and one ranking most favorably in size with other noted varieties. Many farmers are selecting this variety for this years planting. From the results of last years production Dibbles Russot yielded by far the greatest number of bushels per average acre. It was the only variety that resisted the drought and the potato wilt which caused such widespread damage. Whatever variety of seed you choose be sure that they gare northern grown. Local varieties of seed potatoes are more liable to be diseased and should there- fore be avoided.

 PEOPLE IS MANIFEST
Hull Bye-Elections Show Dis
 satisfaction in England

London. April IS (Via Montreal. )- Tn commenting upon the result of the Hull bye-election last week in which the coalition, or government, candi- date was defeated, the Daily Express remarks:
 I've have faith in David Lloyd George and Andrew Bonar Law as heads of the government, but no be- lief whatever in the abilities of seV- eral of their colleagues or in the poll- cies the government is forcing on an unwilling people. The country is cry ing out against the men who want to carry the spirit and methods of the war administration into an area of peace.'
 The Daily News finds in the result a definite pronouncement against con- scription
 The Manchester Guardian declares the electors think they have been fooled and don't like it. There was a great deal of humbug and pure dema- eogy at the general election and un- happily our Versailles prime minister was in more ways than one responsi- ble for these things. Germany, which was to pay aIl will pay som ething if we are lucky and the German state holds together. but not a tithe of what the electors were encouraged to. think she would be made to pay
 The Guardian also ascribes the de- feat to the disillusionment over the punishment of the kaiser and the abo- lition of conscription.
