Drys to Seek
Impeachment
OF Lax Judges

men who will not nullify the will Of
the people by making changes in the
Volstead act, the very nature of which
would be an overriding Of the Consti-
tuition"
The charges against Federal judges
were precipitated by q statement Of
Articus Webb, Texas league superin-
tendent, who told the conference that
some judges in his state had been re-
leasing "known bootleggers" with fines
of $100, and that such sentences had
put all such violators on notice to re-
turn to the illegal traffic.
"Some OF those judges coddle the
bootleggers and moonshiners down
there Webb declared: ARRESTS have
been followed by light fines in scores
Of cases and the criminals have gone
back to make more. It is q serious
situation and one that all persons be-
lieving in proper law administration
should pay attention to-"
Mr.. Baker told the conference the
way out of the situation was "revolu-
tion in this judge business"
The conference was warned by Peter
Schreiber, district superintendent for
the league at Toledo, that their revel-
ations were "only providing munitions
for the vets" and urged that such crit
icism be held to th1 minimum. The
reply he received was chorus of "No;
let's tell the whole truth"
Criticisms of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue were made by Samuel Wilson,
the leagues attorney in New Jersey,
who. declared Governor Edward had
"made good" on his promise to have his
state as "wet as the ocean," He said
that enforcement of prohibition laws
was "at low tide" in New Jersey be-
cause of steady flow of liquor through
permits to wholesalers issued by the
Federal government
"You cannot dry morass," he con-
tinued, 80 long as streams flow into it,
And the United States government is
letting liquor flow intos New Jersey
through wholesale permits which we
are powcrless to check"

Meads Pleads Guilty to
KILLING Fellow Student
Sentence of Is to 20 Years at
Hard Labor Imposed i'm Dart.
mouth College Case

WOODSVILLE, N. H., Sept. 15.-Rob-
ert T. Meads, of La Grange, Ill.,, the
Dartmouth college junior who shot and
killed Henry E. Maroney, of Medford,
Mass, fellow student, after drink
ing bout in a college dormitory last
June, pleaded guilty of manslaughter
to-day. He was sentenced to serve fif-
teen to twenty years at hard labor in
the state prison.
Meads's plea and the sentence came
unexpectedly. The grand jury's indct-
ment was for murder. Young Meads
was taken 60 the courtroom from the
father, A. H. Meads, of Chicago, a law
yer, to make the formal answer to the
indictment. At the direction of the
court, the Indictment for murder was
read, and Meads was asked his plea. He
replied ~ plead guilty OF manslaugh-
ter"
Again Meads showed entire self-con-
troll, hearing the sentence without any
show of feeling. His father spoke with
him, and after a few minutes he was
returned to the jail, where he has been
since June. There his mother and sis
ter, who have lived near by all summer,
awaited him.
Maroney, senior, who had passed all
his examinations and with classmates
was celebrating the approaching COM
mencement with spree, was killed by
Meads in Maroney's room, on the COL
lege campus, in the early morning of
June 16.
The tragedy uncovered rum-running
operations at the college in which
Meads was alleged to have been lead
er. Meroney, senior, went to Meads's
room late on the night of June 15 to
obtain more whisky. There was an ar
gument over the price, in the course Of

WANTS TO MEET OLDER MEN.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlRFAN:
l am a girl thirty-five, refined, educated.
and rather good looking, but plain and sens.
BILE and very lonely. ! crave the companion
ship Of some honest to- goodness man. who is
my age older Unfortunately. during year
spent in Washington l have not had an op
portunity to meet any such. All the men l
do meet are either much younger or have life
companions. Now, l like both classes, but
fellow twenty-five is apt to think of thirty
five as "old age" and l have no desire for a
clandestine friendship with a married man.
There seem to be places where younger peo-
pie can meet but men older do not frequent
those places. And so. Miss Fairfax. am ask
Ing you as there not some way for persons
who older to meet? l.. s.
II you will go about this task Of finding a con.
genial companion in the same manner in which
you would go about seeking n new job, / be-
lieve you will succeed. If you were a stenog.
rapher in bank. and interested in this line
of work. you would hardly care to seek posi-.
tion with a packing house abbatoir.
So, first make up your mind what you would
like to have the man interested n And then
lar subject congregate.
II you want him to be interested in political
economic, or social issues you will probably
find him in debating society. Then proceed to
join one or attend debates.
II, on the other hand, you would like to have
him interested in music, you will find him a
member Of singing organization or orchestra
Either join or attend these meetings.

A LITTLE TROUBLE NOW.

DEAN Miss FAlRFAA:
About six months ago met a young lady
and thought much Of her any man
could think of woman. One day were
at her friends house and her friend sug-
gested that we get married. So we became
engaged
She always treated me very well until we
were engaged. And then she began to
worry the life out of me- think the best
thing to do Is to break engagement
rather than suffer all our lives. Some OF my
friends advised me to do so, but fear that
she will give me trouble. And IL she doesn't
l know her people will. Please let me know
what to do. UNDECIDED.
Your letter does not sound reasonable. II
you thought enough of this woman to MARI,
her you did not need the advice or suggestion
of her friend that you become engaged.
To be married at this time would be un
doubtedly n serious mistake. You are alread,
looking for trouble. Any one who goes into
married life with this frame OF mind is sure
to find what he is looking for. 1t is, better tc
have q little trouble now than a lot of IL fol
the rest Of your life.
