BOOTLEG WHISKEY
DEADLY POISON

"Any man who drinks the bootleg
whisky that is being sold in Texas,
takes his life in his hands. The stuff
is deadly poison" says Director D.
II. Morris of Texas, in a report to
Commissioner Haynes.
Much of the stuff that is labeled
bottled in bond and sold for exor-
bitant prices is only the connection
of bootleggers and is dangerous, he
said. "The man who drinks it is La
bic to be killed or suffer blindness.
Liquor imported from Mexico is
all drawn from the same barrel. They
simply place the label of your favor
lite brand upon it when they offer it
for sale"
Director Morris related the manner
in which enforcement agents and
rangers swooped down and raided
resorts in Mexico.
1--WE confiscated 10 gallons of
whisky two automobiles and arrested
twenty persons. There was not a
shot fired and no casualties. although
the resorts were armed for resist
ance..
Texas ranks with the best states
from a standpoint of enforcement.
Of course whisky is still being sold
by bootleggers, but the violations of
the law are greatly decreased" said
Morris.

Young Woman at
State College
Studies Mining

Miss Rose Kelley, teacher of the
Northport school, is enrolled in the
twelve weeks short course in mining
and geology at Washington State
College-the second woman to take
that course.
She owns a mountain that has
some 80 mining claims on it, pecked
at in the old days before the timber
was cut away or railroads through
that district, and she believes there
is a fortune in mineral there. She
wants to know all she can about
prospecting, ore values, and methods
Of getting at the deposits. So she
is taking assaying, general metal
mining, metallurgy, prospecting and
developing, and similar courses.
She says she is having "the time
of her life" for she has loved rocks
ever since she used to be spanked
for tearing her little apron pockets
out with the weight of stones she
picked up on the way home from
school, back in Minnesota. Now she
is going to make up for all that and
for the hard years of teaching in
country schools, by digging a fortune
in silver, copper and lead out of her
own mountain.

THE SAP A COMING UP
BY Charley L. Cant

By Charley l.. Cant
| have sort of feeling
Like I'm growing young again,
AS the sunlight comes astealing
Over mountaintop and glen,
AS the wavelets romp and ripple
Over effervescent seas
And the notes of robins triple
On the aromatic breeze.
l have a sort of knowing
That the worlds alive once more,
That the rose will soon be glowing,
Up above my cottage door,
That the ruby wine of pleasure
Will soon sparkle in the cup,
l feel younger in measure,
When the saps acoming up.

AS | watch the latest style,
And I'm clipper when Pm mingl-
ing,
Where the flirts of fashion smile.
I've forgotten all my sorrow,
And the fact that | am broke,
And the sorrows of tomorrow
Are to me a borrowed joke.
There is nectar on the breezes,
And the moonshine has a glow,
Nature sings the song that pleases
And the buds begin to grow
Wine of youth seem thru me flow
ing
And there's joy in every "sup,"
When the spring of youth is glow
ing
And the sap is coming up.
Natures voice comes singing
From the mountains and the seas,
While the songs of birds are ring
ing
Out among the forest trees.

Young and playful as a pup
Feel the wine of life allowing,
And the sap acoming up.

Caucus Disbands.

Finally it was voted to disband and caucus at some other time The lights were extinguished and the door lock ed as the .chairmen departed to their respective homes. No candidates for state senators were seIected.
 The town chairman could not be seen this morning as he was too busy so no reason for his failure to come to the caucus which he called could be obtained. It was said. however, that he attended the ratification dim ner of the Democratic state nominees at New Haven last night and tnero- fore could not attend the conclave- In the afternoon at 4 o'clock he at tended a meeting of the state central committees.

Declaring that the policy of the
university had always been to re-
frain from interference with the
personal liberties of students as long
as these conformed to reasonable
standards of good conduct, President
Hibben said the faculty was coming
more and more to rely on the stu
dent body to maintain traditions and
establish campus sentiment.
'"The administration feels that no
legislative action with regard to au-
tomobiles is advisable at the present
sime," the letter continued. "It be-
lieves, however, that it would be de-
sirable, in the light of conditions in
the country and in the world, if stu
dents at Princeton, during the forma
tive periods of their lives, would rea-
LIE the value to themselves and
their fellows Of simplicity In living
and of the elimination Of unneces
sary 1uxuries.
"It is the opinion Of the senior
council that privately owned auto
mobile is not only an unnecessary
adjunct to an undergraduates sue
cess at Princeton, but that, ON the
contrary it often proves positive det
riment to the interest Of the indi
vidual owner"

JUST HANGED HIM

It took % lines In the morning
papers, including three-line head to
tell the story Of the hanging of Jake
Brooks, of Oklahoma City, because
he went to work in packing house
during a strike, says the Emporia
Gazette. The brevity was due en-
tirely to Jake's color. He was black.
Custom makes that kind Of hang
ing unimportant in this country. We
are as brutal and merciless with the
black man as the Russians are with
the Jaws. And take it one year with
another we kill as many defenseless
blacks as the Russians kill of the de-
fenseless Jew in the pogroms.
IT'S a miserable business, this
ruthless race prejudice: it Is 8 blot
upon our civilization, and all over
the civilized world outside Of Amer
lea men scorn us for this, as we scOrn
the Russians for their barharities, or
the cannibals for theirs.

hanged the lower house Of (he

was an American citizen. And he

hanged Jake, for the white strike

horrible thing.
What a hell of fear and terror and

and sustain them and finally help
them in their bondage.
