The story say that the law school
method of obtaining advance infor-
nation wa d.opped.
Another extraordinary case of a
leak is that regarding the cotton re-
ports from the department of agri-
culture. The condition of the crop
influences the price on the cotton ex-
changes. Information of these pc
riodical reports is guarded carefully.
Five minutes advance information
skilfully used win make man rich.
There was an employe of the de.
partmen. who desired to get rich
quick. He was one of those who, in
a guarded room compiled the tele-
graphic reports. He carefully laid his
plot wit. cotton brokers and agents
on the outside. When the compilation
was ready, showing sharp change
in the condition of the crop which
would make the price jump several
points, he stepped to a window of
the room and lowered the shade, as
though to keep the sun out of his
eyes. But tha. was a signal and, by
prearrangement, had been seen by a
man across the street, who sat at an
open leleppOlle connected WIN an
office which II turn, was connected
by telegraph with the cotton ex-
change. The information thus was
transmitted five minutes before the
public announcement was made.
This employee was fined $4,000 and
dischai ged from the government, but
his plot had made him 100000. 1t is
not likely that the trick could be
worked again Every leak is followed
by an inquiry and when any irregu-
larity is found, steps are taken to
close that avenue.
1t is indeed difficult to organize
leak rom Washington in these
times. The principal bulwark against
the practice SO far as newspaper men
are concerned consists in two fac
tors; frs We y few newspaper men
have any interest in stock specula-
ton or al Y knowledge of how to play
the market: and second, and of more
Importance, a high standard of ethics
obtains among the news writer's of
WI ich inhibits such prac-
tices more strt ngly than any law OF

COMMUNT RIGHT
IN PROPERTY RULED
ON BY HIGH COURT

A mixed controversy concerning
separate and community property
was settled by the supreme court yes
terday in the case of John Wilson,
appellant against Nellie sullivan, ap-
pellee, Santa Cruz county. The ap-
pellant and the mother of the appellee
We're married in Chicago and came TO
NoGales 80 years ago. A brother of
che wife of Wilson gave her a lot on
Morley avenue in that city. and a
house was put up on it at an expense
of $3500, the money being furnished
by the appellant.
Later Wilson and his wife pur-
chased another lot, which they inn
proved and made their home, where
Wilson lived after the death of his
wife in 1907. He applied for letters
OF administration on the estate of his
wife, and in the inventory filed by
him there was included the Morley
avenue property but not the other
property, which Wilson held to be his
separate property under an oral
agreement between himself and his
wife by which she had taken a deed
IN her name to the Morley avenue
property while the deed to the other
had been procured by the wife for
the appellant.
All SlIOTl ny MS Slep-QauEut6r5 10
have the other property included in
the inventory failed. and then she
brought this action 10 recover from
Wilson an undivided half interest in
the property held in his name, along
with an accounting for the rents and
profits received by him.
Little doubt was left as to the oral
agreement between Wilson and his
wife as to the division of the prop
critics, each to be regarded as sepa-
rate property, the Morley avenue
property to be the wife's and the
other to be Wilson's. The question,
however. was whether the oral agree
ment so proved was sufficient upon
which TO predicate the conclusion that
the property held by Wilson was
separate property. Inasmuch as there
was no instrument in writing con-
veying the property, the lower court
held in favor of the appellee.
That judgment was sustained.

origin in alcohol. This fuIflment alone has jusu-

Nearly every other prediction has gone awry. one

Three Years of Prohibition

The American Review of Reviews for June has
an article on prohibition by Mr.. Judson C. welver.
in the of which several questions asked
and answered. They Has prohibition increased
eommerciazed vice? Is there drunkenness
among young folks? Are drug addicts nuner-
GUS? We do think that answers in the
tive these interrogatons quite correct but
observer fail to agree with Mr.. Welliver in the
conclusion that prohibition has been already justified
by its results.
s Three years is too brief time for demon
stration of such a departure, for the results of
experiment tried large a scale to be
entirely
1t brought in its train some unexpected evils
which we must admit and face without any weak
ening of purpose to support prohibition and without
any temptation to relax its rigors. We must combat
these which though consequences of prohibition
be regarded independent of it,
That there has been increase in the number
of drug addcts is the testimony of all who any
knowledge of the subject: Notwithstanding pre-
sentaton of contrary figures we are aware of
startling increase in the Illicit traffic in drugs. 1t
is not helping the of prohibition to deny
ignore this fact.
- AS the effect of prohibition on comn,ercialized
vice it is hard. if not impossible it. 1t
the contention of prohibitionists that the vice has
been Iessened of the prevention of open
sale of liquor bawdy houses once source of such
Nsgreat profit
That there is less commercalized vice than for
nery is certainly true, but think that is largely
the result of the activity of the federal
towering about the period that prohibition has been

We must admit too that there is drum
kenness young folk, and natural
quence sexual immortality than in the days O
the saloon. Then it rather uncommon thing
for boys and especially girls to become intoxicated
There few distributors Of liquors But
with prohibition the boy who could bottle
of whiskey homebrew became sort of hero among
his companions and for the first time large num-
ber of young girls brought into contact with
+ alcohol
These evils which recognize
without compromise by relaxing of the prohibition
laws, but rather by increase of their rigidity.
The possession of liquor well the distribution
and transportation of it must be defined crime
and the enforcement of the law be made
tain and impartial.

supporters and the other by the opponents Of pro-
Aihiton that have been fulfilled. The one was that

Mr.. stull Plaintiff

We hardly think that Mr.. Stul OF Nebraska will
be able to the money which he contributed
to the American Red Cross while the war was going
He was not. it is true, what might be called a
cheerful gver. He was moved to contribution less
by any innate impulse to aid in the than by
atmosphere with which he suddenly surrounded,
insistent neghbors with revovers of whose
concealement there hardly a pretense.
While generally that not approved
method of seeking contributions for worthy works
there urgent need of money by the Red Cross.
The contribution committee could fool around till
Christmas arguing, with Mr. Stull who seems
have been somewhat obdurate, concerning his duty
wealthy citizen. Red Cross supplies were being
rapidly exhausted on the various battle fronts and
had be replaced, so that it necessary to end
the negotiations with Mr. Stull early possible
sible.
There was less patience with this donor too be-
he had lied to the committee. Forgetful of
the fate of Ananias and Sapphra his wife who in
very similar circumstances had pleaded to another
contribution committee their poverty, Mr.. Stu told
the committee that he had available cash for
purposes when the committee had already taken the
precaution to inform itself that he had s2SoO in the
bank.
There was an irregularity also in the diyulging
of that information to the committee Banks
not supposed to acquaint the public with the state
of their depositors' balances, and that is why the
bank is made defendant along with the members
of the committee in Mr.. Stulls suit to his
gift.
But again we must plead in the banks behalf the
exigencies of Ordinarily the bank should have
awaited court order of some kind but it pail
paby impossible to bring action in garnishment
in behalf of the Red Cross against Mr.. stull, not
withstandng he well all the rest of were
indebted to the Red Cross. Moreover have
shown, the Red Cross could wait upon the tedious
processes of the law the filing of bill and the
and the demurrer and all the rest of the
things that contribute to postponement which with
the going have pointed out, would have
been criminal
Dealing with such Mr. Stull evidently
was. there no other for the committee to
pursue If 1t to get the money. and the Red
Cross could not operate without money

Successful weevil control this
year in going to require more Ell
fort and more poison per ache
than has ever been the case in
the past. On the other hand,
wherever the land is sufficiently
fertile 20 justify such an effort,
there is much more assurance OF
profit from the operation than is
usually the case. The increase IN
the cost per acre brought about
by the increased number of ap-
plications necessary will be TAR
more than compensated for the
fact that the weevil damage with
out poisoning will be far greater
than normal, and thus the margin
of profit in the operation is ire
increased. In other
words, a heavy weevil infestation
such as we have this year means
a greater expenditure per acre
for poisoning to successfully con-
trol it, but it also means a greater
actual net ,rofit in dollars and
cents per acre from the poisoning
operations.
