given by the Seeger,Bundle Co.,
the Beachy Shoe Co., and the John

pers and hand bags shown through
out the performance.
Thirty-five different styles were
shown and included every color i'm
aginable mostly in the darks, but
with here and there sprinkle OF
the lighter colors.
The show was very pleasing. The
models were local ladies and car
ried their parts to perfection.
The three local stores RESPONSE
BILE for the fashion show have dem
onstrated to the public their ability
as buyers for the needs Of their Gus
toners.
The stocks handled by these three
merchants are the equal of any of
the larger cities.

EVERY MAN DECIDETH

To every man there openeth
way and ways, and way,
And the high soul climbs the high
way,
And the low soul gropes the low;
And in between on the misty flats,
The rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there openeth
A high way and q low.
And every man decideth
The way his soul shall go.
JOHN OXENHAM.

men.
9Th. An enlightened conscience as

cation.
7th. That the government OF
America inspires respect and high

1.-THE greatest problem Is the en-

pie bear the cost Of providing an ade-
quate inaugural setting instead of sew.

One Of the places proposed as sub.
stitute for the Pension building is the
Union station. This should not be
seriously considered. The building It.
self is admirably planned, it is true,
for such a purpose. but 1t must always
be remembered that this very plan
was chosen with the idea Of accom-.
modating great concourse Of people
as they arrive in and depart from
Washington on just such occasions as
the Inauguration. The station could
not be used for the inaugural ball with.
out closing it to the public for the bet.
ter part Of the period Of the inaugu.
ration rush. and it would therefore
lose its chief value as terminal.
There is no adequate substitute for
the Pension Office. That building
should be loaned by the government
for this purpose, because it is per-
fectly adapted and because the Incl
dental interruption to business is small

HE discussed the emigration stu

Prohibition Enforcement Crooks.

Several employees Of the federal pro-
hibition enforcement service have been
arrested in New York for completely

quantities Of liquor from warehouses

sued for withdrawal. 1t Is estimated
that liquor valued at $1,75o, goo has
been released in this manner. 1t is
assumed that through these frauds
has come much Of the stinulant that
has been peddled through the country
during the past few months.
This scandal does not in any way
bear upon the effectiveness Of prohi.
bition enforcement. It merely demon.
strates anew that crooked people will
try to beat any law that is devised.
The fact that burglars continue to
break in and steal does not lessen pub.
lie respect for the law Of property
and the prohibition Of burglary. It
was. perhaps, inevitable that crooks
should find places in the prohibition
enforcement organization. They would
naturally seek positions from which
they could play their game. In The
forming Of the agencies of enforce.
ment. despite the utmost precautions,
people with itching palms" could
hardly be kept out. Indeed, the mar.
vel is that the standard Of the en-.
fofcement bureau has been so high.
Friends Of prohibition should not
be discouraged by this development.
Rather should they be encouraged. for
the law has laid its hand upon these
crooked dealers, and their game has
been played to q finish. It will be
harder for others to carry It on here.
