The Bloc Menace

of farmers With his customary crcumocution the exeeu

The president himself however is to blame for the deve
opment of the bloc the result of his lack of leader
ship and want of policy and program When the executive
drifts with unwedy party majority in both houses Of
congress- the daring few who know just what they want
after and get it.
President Harding publicly censured President Wilson
dictator and usuper of congressional privileges for forcing
program upon congress So he cannot leadership
to have united and disciplined party without executive
leadership and he thinks the party should support the admin
sraton without dtaon from the president and he doesn't
exactly know why the party not nctonng without such
guidance and leadership.
AS far blocs concerned have always had them

through all kinds of special legislation Why shouldn't there
be farmers bloc to help the farmer at public

It is proposed to revive the grain corporation of

farmer will be assured profit at the of the

ing the last year, according to
Juvenile court records kept here.
Friction between the parents in

crimes among children.
The records show that between
July, !, 1919, and July 1, 1920,

Minors May Be

From Draft

New York, Dec. 14.-Club own
ers of the two big leagues indi-
Gated today before going into an
nual session that they would ap-
prove the suggestion made yester-
day before the National league
by Charles H. Ebbets, president
of the Brooklyn club, prohibiting
purchase of players from minor
leagues opposed to the draft. Eb-
bets resolution was to be voted
upon today by the National lea
que magnates and 1t was expected
that the assistance and coopera-
tion asked of the American lea
que on the subject would be forth
coming at the joint meeting of
the two leagues on Thursday.
Colonels Rupert and Huston of
the New York Americans said
they were favorably impressed
with the idea.
Mr.. Eboets' proposal virtually
was boycott of class AA and
class A of minor baseball leagues.
The plan would be to sever the
major leagues as a sourse OF in

Gently refused to submit to the
drafting agreement created last
January which still has six years
to run.
Important business before the
American league owners included
the new contract with Miller Hug
gins, manager of the Yankees,
which Higgins probably will sign
today. Higgins, it is said, insists
on a two year contract, while the
club owners want to sign him for
one year.
The Recommendation of Presi-
dent Heydler before the National
league that the major leagues
take steps to organize their own
minor organizations from which
to draw recruits. has evoked fav-
orable comment.

Moonshiners
Defy Dry Law
In Fair Hawaii

Honolulu, Dec. 14.-Romant1c
tales of moonshiners and erev-
enooersu in the mountains OF
Kentuck have modern parallel
on the island of Hawaii paral-
lei lacking only the scenes OF
armed strife and bloodshed which
characterized almost all efforts to
apprehend the moonshiners.
When the United States went
dry the territory of Hawaii, an In
tegral part of the nation, followed
suit perforce. Dry enforcement
officers were assigned to different
parts of the rriory to look to the
carrying out of the new law. The
officer to whom Hawaii island was
assigned found himself confronted
with a territory of over 1000
square miles, including two noun
tains practically $4,000 feet high
and one over 5000 feet, with great
stretches of wild and uninhabited
country on the mountain slopes
above the sugar lands which bor-
der the seashore. In territory Of
this nature the hunting down OF
illitcit liquor stills becomes a fine
art. No only must the searcher
know the country, which is vol
canic, in places deeply eroded, and
covered in many places with a
jungle like growth, but he must
have the skill of the mountaineer
and the patience Of stalker of
wild game. To capture still un-
der such circumstances is feat
worthy of record from which the
absence Of stray 30-30 bullets de-
tracts not whit.
With regiment of enforcement
officers Hawaii would be big
problem, in dry manner oi
speaking, but to cap the climax
and make of prohibition on Hawaii
a farce, tn government allows,
