GOV. EDWARDS IN HIS TENT
Anti-Saloon League Arrows Penetrate
Epidernis Of Soggy New Jersey
Governor

Governor Edwards OF New Jersey,
according to a statement of the Anti
Saloon League of that state, is whim
pering because Of the attacks made
upon him by the League because OF
his attitude toward Prohibition Gu
forccment Governor Edwards says:
mo such campaign is waged against
the governor of New York although
he has publicly stated that he is op-
posed to the principles OF the Prohibi-
ton Amendment"
The New Jersey Anti-Saloon League
did not lose the opportunity to point
the difference between the attitude OF
the governor of New York and of the
governor of New Jersey. Governor
Miller of New York did state that he
was never Prohbitionist," but new
ertheless he pledged the voters that
he would use all his power to enforce
the law so long as it was the law"
Not only that, but Governor Miller
supervised the drafting and urged the
passage of the Mullan-Gage Prohibi-
ton enforcement bill, the state en-
forcement code On the other hand,
Governor Edwards in his campaign
speeches for gubernatorial honors,
promised the voters to make Prohibit
ton as impossible in New Jersey as
the law will permit me to make it."
He spoke contemptuously of the $50
called Eighteenth Amendment"
Some difference, but it will be hard
TO make Governor Edwards see it.

PETITION TO CONGRESS
FOR BEER AND LIGHT
WINES
THE TAXATION ON WHICH
TO GO FOR
THE SOLDIER BONUS

THE SOLDIER BONUS
Petition to the Hon. 49,, Mem
Der of the House of Representa-
tives from the 49,. District,
State of Ohio
We, the undersigned voters in
your district, do most respectfully
request that you give your sup
port to the Hill bill now being
considered by the Ways and
Means Committee of the Sixty
seventh Congress of the United
States to so amend the Nolstead
act permitting the manufacture
and sale of beer and light wines
under strict regulations, the tax
on which to provide for a soldier
bonus for the ex-service men who
so valiantly took part in the re-
cent world war.
The bill provides for the manufac-
ture and sale Of per cent beer and
Il per cent wine. OF course liquors
containing so high an alcoholic con-
tent are Intoxicating and the Hill bill
has for its purpose the qualification OF
the Eighteenth Amendment which
prohibits the manufacture and sale OF
liquors for beverage pur-
poses. Every signcr of this petition
asks his Congressman 10 violate his
oath OF office. Every Congressman
swears to support the Constitution OF
the United States and this petition
asks him to ignore the Constitution.
1t is a bold attempt TO destroy part
OF the organic law OF the republic.
1t is reported that the voters to
whom appeal is made TO sign the pc
tition are merely told by the circu
lators that it is a petition asking for
the enactment of soldier bonus law.
As people generally favor a bonus
some of them sign without knowing
about the beer and wine
provision.
Read every petition for yourself be-
fore signing it. The petitions are be-
ing circulated by the Veterans of Lib
erty, one of the numerous booze or
carnations of Chicago with headquar-
tiers in Chicago.

Dear Sir;
| thank you for your letter of
January 10. 1t is true that we
are unable to obtain anything
like the proportionate number OF
cadavers for anatomical work
which we obtained prior to the
time Prohibition went into ef-
feet. We used to obtain in the
late winter and early spring
months large number of those
dying from pneumonia and sim
liar diseases. My own expla
nation is that the alcoholics who
became exposed to severe
changes during these months
contracted pneumonia and were
unable to withstand it. ! may
add that there is shortage OF
anatomical material all over the
country, but ] am not sure that
my explanation would be APP
plicable to all localities.
Yours very truly,

SAY ATTEMPT BEING MADE
 TO ANNEX ARIZONA LAND

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 3-Attorney General W. J. GalbraRh of Arizona, on his return here today from a tour of investigation Of the Cibola Valley, Arizona, charged that an attempt is being made to annex thousands of acres of Arizona land to California by changing the course of the Colorado river near Cibola.
 He announced he would take legal action at once to frustrate the at tempt.
 Galbraith said he found that workers employed on a California ir. rigation project on the Colorado were blasting in an effort to divert the course of the river so as to cut off a large portion of the valley. leaving it on the California side of the Colo rado. The Cibola Valley comprises 22.000 acres of fertile river delta land and is between Yuma, Ariz., and Blythe, Cal

 In making his announcement ;o the Democrats Of Cochise county, MT.

That his record will speak fer itself. even MT James political op- ponents admit. and it has been on his record solely that he has been re- elected for the office. which is one of the most important in the county. IL is through the Clerks office that all important papers bearing on every suit, either criminal, cival, probate or juvenile. must go and be properly and painstakingly cared for until case has gone 10 judgment and final set tIement, and it is for his unfailing ef ficiency and attention to official dut- ies that the present incumbent can go back to the clerks ofice as long as he wishes it, his friends maintain. Out of the many thousands of cases handled not one error can be claimed against the system he has put in vogue in the office, which in itself bespeaks a record that is un- assailabIe in comparison with any of flee in the whole state.
 X resident of Cochise county for the past quarter century, Mir. James, lifelong Democrat, rose from the ranks or the Iaborlng man m the mines to his present position. During territorial days he served as probate clerk of the old District Court and his record in this department won for him a reputation that easily elected him to the clerks ofice when state hood came. The office being for a four year term, . branch of the Su- perior court, he was not compelled to enter the elections last year.

Without Print
THE test of an idea is: Can it

THE test of an idea is: Can it
live without printi
i Printing has its advantages.
1t is supposed to be 'the art pre-
servative of all arts"
But the most vigorous works of
the creative Imagination have been
Independent of type. The three
greatest teachers that ever lived
were Buddha, Socrates and Jesus.
None Of them wrote anything.
OF course, oceans of stuff have
been written about them and what
they said, but it is question
whether what was written has
really helped or hindered their in
fluence. Their real power was un-
spoken.
The tales which have the tough
est lives, the stories which endure
from generation to generation, go
from mouth to ear. Whether they
get into print or not has little to
do with their validity. When MAIN
STREET and LORNA DOONE, and
even the works of Dickens, Goethe
and Dante have gravitated to the
dustbin of antiquity and are read
only by curious scholars, the stories
of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD,

CINDERELLA will still be bloom

Confession
NHAKESPEARE asked .

NHAKESPEARE asked:
~ "Canst thou not minister to
~ mind diseas'd,
Pluck from the memory a rooted
sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of
the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious
antiSote
Cleanse the stuff d bosom of that
perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heartf"
The one potent medicine for
purging the mind is confession.
We observe it among children.
The impulse to tell whatever they
have done or thought that they
deem to be wrong is powerful. If
they cannot tell their parents, they
will tell strangers.
In fact, it is a peculiar law of
confession that we prefer to un-
bosom ourselves to people who do
not know us so very well.
There is something about con-
fession that counteracts the sense
of guilt in a strange way.
The Catholic Church very wisely
makes use of this instinct.
Curiously enough, the impulse to
confess has its morbid perversions.
In every celebrated murder case the
police say they are overwhelmed
with confessions, many of them
from people that were entirely re-
mote from the incident. One woman
in Canada confessed to murder in
the Elwell case. 1t was found out
later that all she wanted was her
free transportation to New York.
Expert detectives say that they
are very suspicious of confessions.
The human heart is a deep and
tangled jungle.

Public Right
In Anthracite
11OW liberalism in law may de-
n feat justice is shown in the
i Il Supreme Courts decision in

n feat justice is shown in the
i L Supreme Courts decision in
the Pennsylvania mine-cave case.
1t hinged on the right of a per-
son who had bought only surface
title to land to be protected from
damage by mining operations be-
meath his surface.
So good a liberal as Mr.. Justice
Holmes assumed and the majority
opinion held that one who buys a
surface title knows and voluntarily
accepts the risk.
Personal residence in the anthra-
cite country would have protected
him from this error. This briefly
is what happened there:
Coal was discovered. The dis
coverers naturally bought as much
proximate land as possible. Their
title was complete. Having pro-
tected their coal, they developed it.
To do so required labor.
Thus communities grew up. But
the coal companies sold to workers
only surface rights. The first set
tiers may have had freedom of op-
tion. But in time the only way to
get home sites at all was on sur
face titles. The theoretical free
dom of option ceased in fact.
The very people whose toll made
the coal available have had their
homes imperiled by mining rapac-
ity. Other redress failing, Penn
sylvania enacted and its high court
sustained a law making home
wrecking by mine company rapac-
ity a crime. This law the Supreme
Court of the United States over
turns.
In his lone dissenting opinion
Mr.. Justice Brandeis says:
If by mining anthracite coal
the owner would necessarily
unloose poisonous gases, I sup
pose no one would doubt the
power Of the State to prevent
the mining without buying his
coal fields.
Why may not the State like
wise, without paying compen-
sation, prohibit one from dig
ging SO deep or excavating SO
near the surface as to expose
the community to like dangers?
Were the public itself in full
control of natural resources, the
private greed which robs pillars
and wrecks homes. overcharges
consumers and is unable to provide
continuous labor and supply would
cease.
One great court has erred, but
the greatest error is the public s.
