ELLIS CALLS FOR
FULL COOPERATION
Sheriff Ellis Says Law viii Be Car
ried Out to Letter, With Coop
Grafton of Citizens.

In an interview with a Journal re-
porter, Sheriff A Cary Ellis gave his
views on the prohibition situation ex-
listing in Pensacola, showing beyond a
doubt, his willingness to stamp out
the bootlegger and blind tiger If he is
given the cooperation and necessary
paraphernalia to do so. Speaking. of the
situation IN the city, the sheriff said.
I'VE hear of bitter attacks made up
on the officials of the city, county and
even federal officers, almost daily in
regard to the laxity of the enforcement
of the liquor laws: the officers are
doing, and have been doing, all in
their power to break up the illicit
traffic In liquor. going so far as to
hire special officers to assist them.
Efforts have been made where the
names of persons who have known to
have voiced dissatisfaction over the
way the law is enforced to have the
party making the utterance cooperate
with the authorities in obtaining evil
dence enough to convict the known
traffickers in liquor.
citizens who have time and again
pressible action, have refused to assist
the sheriff's forces in the actual Sc
curing of evidence. People criticise the
administration for not enforcing the
laws-stiu some of them pay royalty
to the bootleggers, consuming So
called liquor and paying exhorbitant
prices without whimper. When the
authorities ask for assistance to fasten
a case on specified man, known with
out a moral doubt to be bootlegger,
the so-called Indignant citizen re-
fuses, saying that its the duty of the
authorities to get their evidence, not
mine Still they squeal.
1--WE have in the past lined up COM
plete cases, including enough witnesses
to convict any man under the sun. and
after taking an alleged trafficker into
custody we find our witnesses have
left the community-no trace being
left by them, no word as to their
whereabouts, or why they left. being
obtainabie to the officers.
1.-THE sheriff's forces, in order to en-
force the law, must have cooperation
from every citizen within the juris-
dictiona1 limits of his territory. With
out such cooperation, the sheriff's Of
ficers are powerless to fasten a crime,
such as bootlegging on a man, where
the actual whiskey or other prohibited
beverage has to be produced in court
as the main part of the evidence. With
out the sample for evidence, no case

 "That will be nice of you, Mir. Bow ser. But you must make your witch hazel cut of roots and bushes"
 "Of course, know that That is the easiest part of all. Mrs. Bowser, there Is growing. along the roadside, in this state, enough witchhazel bushes to manufacture ten thousand gallons of the liquid. I am going to gather the roots and bushes for my part. Mir. Gordon will attend to the distillatiop and the putting up of the remedy in bottles. It Is to be called 'Bowser's Witchhazel,' and that alone will sell a hundred thousand bottles every month. I shall begin to gather in the fall and 1t will be play spell for me"
 But there is something I wish to tell you, Mir. Bowser," quietly observed Mrs. Bowser. You hadn't said any thing about my birthday, and l thought you might forget 1t, and so l bought my own present. That Is, l have bought present on the condl- tIon that you approve of it."
 Have you bought new dressf' was asked.
 "Oh, no. It Is something more valu- able than that Mir. Bowser, I find my self little lame with rheumatism"
 You should use Bowser's Witch hazel for that"

 And I see that 1t is most foolish thingi P interrupted the witchhazel manufacturer.
 T counted up the number of times had to go up and down stairs" con- tinued Mrs. Bowser. Tt was twenty three times in all, and had four calls to pay, in addition. Just think, Mir. Bowser, of twenty-three times. If I had flying machine I could fly up and downstairs and save me all that walking. If I wanted to call on a lady I would land on her front steps and ring the bell. If she was in, I would get out and hitch my flying ma chine to the doorknob; if she was not at home I would give the motor a poke and away we would go."
 "Yes. you would go to Ballyhack Mrs. Bowser, I won't hear another word about your flying machine. It is the maddest thing that ever a woman thought of"
 But you have wanted onel" she protested"
 Tt makes no difference! I am not going to help you to commit suicide"
 But, don't you see. that If pitch out you can cure me with your witch hazel? We shan't ever have to call a doctor"
 Flying machines be hangedl Doc tors be hanged There will be no foolish things brought into this housel I put my foot right down on that!'
 While Mrs. Bowser was heaving . long sigh of pretended disappointment, Mir. Bowser got up and left the house and slammed the door behind him. He went over to the drug store and peered into the window. There were three men in there and he heard one of them say:
 There is old man Bowser looking In. I wonder if he hasn't got a scheme to make the sun shine for twenty-four hours without going to bed at all"
 And MT. Bowser quit peertng and walked on Mrs. Bowser wasn't to have any present on her birthday!

 It was a day previous to Mrs. Bow ser's birthday. There had come into Mir, Bowser's office, sharp featured, keen-looking man, who gave his name as Mir. Gordon. He was a practical chemist, and was connected with a wholesale drug manufacturer. He wanted to go in business for himself or with a partner who had money and energy. He had heard Of MT. Bowser and had called to talk business.
 One of the great money-makers for the drug house, was witchhazel. It re- turned over 100 per cent profit Mir. Gordon wanted to go into the manu- facture of witehhazel. It would make couple of men millionaires In five years. The world was not half sup piled. The liquid was dollar pint and still going up. He had a talk with Mir Bowser for two long hours, and he satisfied him that the oppor- unity of his life had come to him. It beat bookkeeping and pig-raising all to pieces.
 At five o'clock Mir. Bowser started home, as usual. He was placid and satisfied with the world He looked around him at the stores and offices, and calculated that he could buy them all, in two years. Two or three of his fellow passengers, on the car, stepped on his toes. and the conductor took fifty cents from him and forgot to make the change Nothing irritated Mir. Bowser, however. He smiled, as he entered the hall of his house. and that smile warned Mrs. Bowser that he had something up his sleeve She said nothing, however, and after din- her he suddenly began:
 Mrs. Bowser. do you know that to- morrow is your birthday"
 "Yes, I did not forget that" she re- piled.
 You have been dear, good wife to me and l am glad that I have pre- pared a surprise for you. It isn't a necklace of diamonds or pearls, but that will come a little later"
 "It was good of you to remember" she murmured
 q have always remembered and al navS shall. You have stood by me as
 ie wife should. Let me ask you, | you know liquid called witch hazel?"
 T think I do. We have kept 1t in the house ever since we were mar ried."
 Yes, we have. It Is d great thing know what 1t sells for at drug stores It is one dollar pint, my dear wife, and they make profit of one hundred per cent. There Is an increasing de- mand for it and it will probably go to dollar and half pint"
 But what does all this talk mean P asked Mrs. Bowser.
 Tt means, that I am going into the manufacture of witchhazel. I have al- for bruises and contusiens. Do you

 "A flying machine What the Old Harry do you want with flying ma chine?"
 For practical use. It Is quite an effort for me to go downtown shop ping. We have no auto or carriage, and the street car Is always crowded. How nice 1t would be if I could have a flying machine waiting af the door for mel I could step right into the machine and start the motor and go sailing right over the houses, and land at the door of a store. If I had any packages to bring with me, don't you see how handy the machine would ber
 Not by a darned sight !" exploded Mir. Bowser.
 But you must see that, with the witchhazek and my flying machine, we should be nicely fixed. If I fell out of my machine and got bruised all over we would have the remedy right in the house to cure me. Remember, that is my birthday present Mr. Bowser."
