sDAY. DECEMBER
Municipal Christmas Tree

What did you think of the mu-
nicipal Christmas tree? Didn't it
look like Idaho Springs had the
real Christmas spirit and good
cheer? The tree was handsomely
trimmed and is in a prominent
corner of the library lawn. 1t
looked pretty in the daytime, but
when Lighted up at night with the
colored electric globes it was very
beautiful and loomed up till it
looked about twice its natural size.
1t was about the first thing
noticed when alighting from the
train in the evening, aud gave a
first impression that something
was doing in Idaho Springs One
knew at once that Santa Claus had
visited this ideal mountain town
and realized that he must have
been 10th to leave, but having
many other places in the county
to visit that Christmas night, his
reindeers darted off merrily, leaving
only happiness in their tracks.

were given by the little tots. and a
candle exercise by Elva Stout's

was very good. The songs by the
primary were nicely given, and
piano solos by Mary Phillips and
b. tty Lamb were we'll rendered.
Next came Dr. Beavis' address,
followed by collection for the

contains many "holes" so far as
prohibition enforcement is con-
cerned, Prohibition Commission
Kramer said today.
"The assertions that liquor is be-
ing smuggled into New York from
| Canada is substantially correct. At
the present time cannot say just
how great this traffic is. 1t is OBJ
viously difficult to patrol the great
stretch of territory included in the
Canadian border.
eve have agents at the principal
points of entry from Canada to the
United States. But obviously the
Canadian customs officials charged
with the inspection of vehicles and
baggage must share responsibility
for effective enforcement of the
prohibition law.
"The border problem is one of the
most difficult we have to solve.
While it is unquestionable that
many rum runners have gotten by
we have captured large number Of
vehicles and confiscated large guam
titles of liquor on the New York
Canadian border. Experience will
teach US, how to make the border
patrol more effective, if we succeed
in getting an appropriation from
the next congress sufficient to pro-
vide adequate enforcement of the
law.
"Only enemies of prohibition
could seize upon the fact that
liquor is being smuggled into the
United States along the vast extent
of the Canadian border from Van
couver to the Atlantic, a great part
of which is semi-wilderness, to indi-
cate that enforcement of the law is
not practical. Prohibition enforce
ment is already effective. 1t will
become increasingly So"

POOR HOUSE TOM

The editor of the paper drove
around the circle Sunday morning
going out the road towards the
Shops and coming in on the Poor
House road. As we were coming in
to town we struck up with Tom, who
informed us that he was on his way
to preach at Mt. Pleasant, and
would like lift.
He got in the car and about the
first thing he told us was, "Steven-
son is out" "Kellar is in"
We asked him if Mr.. Haddon
would stay at the county farm with
them still, to which Tom replied
"all out, don't want Wardlaw back. u
We inquired the trouble with
Wardlaw, and Tom told US that
Wardlaw "cussed too much"
SIS Kellar old or young Tom
asked us.
When told that Kellar was young
Tom said, "He won't do, he won't
MIND"
"Kellar will have to work." Tom
told US. eff he don't I'll turn him
off," he added.
"I'm too old to work." was the
next information, "but Kellar, he
got to work, if he don't I'll be up tc
see you and Perrin, you are the
bosses of the Court House, AIM
you," Tom asked, adding, "You has
been there long enough to be the
bosses"
From all of which it appears to u:
