and who bring the law into disrepute
by their attitude and their actions to-
ward it. The law will be taken seri-
ously when it is seen that there are
none above the law"
Judges expressing "disdain" of the
act from the bench We're told by the
prohibition commissioner that at is
time that such judges took the matter
of prohibition more seriously"
In my Judgment he said, light
fines and long delays in bringing cases
to trial have contributed in no small
way to the spirit of defiance in which
the bootlegger holds the law
Besides apathy of public officials
in enforcement, Mr. Haynes named
the apathy Of cultured and Chris
tians,' due in good part. he said, to
belief that the fight is over, as an
other foe of the eighteenth amend
ment. The fact remains" he de
clared, that the very best part of
the fight is just beginning
He advised friends of prohibition in
the cities TO write personal letters or
to publicly commend public officials
who are making honest effort to do
their duty and enforce the law"
The bootlegging problem is serious,
the federal commissioner added, be-
cause of an alliance between an APP
parently respectable class and the
most vicious and criminal class,
drawn together by the high rewards
Of the traffic.
This combination is most for
midable one he said. 1T resorts to
every kind of political intrigue or So
cial approach to break down the moral
stamina of the men whose sworn dutr
is to make the law effective. This
profiteering criminality is national
menace on the part of all good citi-
zens'
The struggle over the VolStead act
was characterized in general by Com
missioner Haynes as IAN inevitable
conflict, the clash between the old
world customs and the spirit of Amer
lean institutions.

"TOO MUCH RAIN, EVEN
 FOR DUCKS"

 The wet weather has not only been great disadvantage to the farmer, but 1t seems to have driven the wild ducks from the bottoms.
 Leonard Johnson and son, Virgil, were returning from Little Rock last Saturday afternoon and near Rixie they saw a mother duck and about a dozen little ones walking peacefully up the road. The ducks ran into a negro's yard, and hid in the flowers. Mir. Johnson noticed that they were queer ducks, so he stopped and asked the negro what kind of ducks he was raising. Steel's eyes frightened and he replied, ''Tse not got no ducks, sir" The old duck got frightened and flew off and Virgil and the negro boys caught seven of the little ducks. The merchant at Rixie assisted the boys to make coop to take them home and asked them to let him know how they succeeded in raising wild ducks. Virgil brought two of them home and boasted that he would raise a drove of wild ducks yet. Sunday morning, bright and early, he went to the barn to see about them and, much to his sorrow, he found them both dead.

 This country furnishes a good ex- ample of what the farmer would think of the income tax of 66 2-3 per cent demanded of people with in- comes of one million dollars or more when they are called on to pay it. One of the Carmical girls few years ago married farmer who owns a farm near the big gusher at El Do fado. He was offered $3,000,000 for his farm, but refused 1t, because he did not want to pay the $2,000000 income tax, which he would have had 10 pay at once had he made the sale. Instead thereof he is selling leases on his land at ,250 to $l, 500 an acre, with a contract calling for big royalty on all oil produced from wells on his land. A great many farmers in Pulaski county are so afraid that they might get rich and have to pay these big income taxes that they are giving their leases away 10 the first man who asks for them
 If any reader of the Pulaskian has not yet given away lease on his land won't he please give it to me? think 1 have, treated 'em nice enough that when they have something to give away that they might give part of 1t to me. l will not only be thank ful to them for 1t, but I will also give them a nice notice, thanking fhem for the gift, in the Pulaskian.
