also had a number of pennies stolen
from Lcsslie IL GlasscOck's store ut
Lcsslie which is also the location for
the postoffice at that place. The fact
that the Lcssie postoffice was robbed
has been reported to the postal au-
thorities and Uncle Sam will be given
the first opportunity to deal with
Snipes who escaped some time ago
from the CASTOR county chaingang,
where he was serving a sentence for
theft.
Snipes is a cripple who walks with
crutch part of the time. He got
crippled leg as the result of a rifle
bullet put there by a guard when he
escaped from a Castor chaingang
When he got able to be out again he
was so trifling that the guards could
get nothing out Of him, it is said and
little effort was made to apprehend
him when he got away.
The man has also confessed to the
robbery of Nivers Brothers store on
Charlotte Street, YOrkville some
months ago. When the Federal court
and the state court get through with
him he will be turned over to the
CASTOR county authorities if they want
him again.

Liquor on American Ships.

The question of the sale of liquor on
American shipping board ships outside
the three mile limit has been brought
TO the attention of President Harding
through letters written and given out
by August A. Busch, president of the
Anheuscr- Busch brewery corporation,
of st. Louis, and some row is being
raised in congress in regard to the
matter.
OF course il has been very well un-
derstood all the while that American
vessels have been selling liquor TO
passcngcrS outside of the three mile
limit. The practice is defended on the
ground that the vessels of all other ma
tions sell liquor, and as a large per
cent. of the passengers use liquor, if
they could not get it on American
vessels they would travel on the YES
sells of other nations.
The Busch people arc the largest
brewers in the world That is they
have been and would like to be again.
That they do not care how much
liquor is sold anywhere so it is their
liquor, is very well understood of all
fairly intelligent people who know
whatever about the subject.
II is quite clear to anybody, wheth-
or thcy be for or against prohibition.
that the sale of liquor under the con-
ditiOns described, with what amounts
to the executive acquiescence of the
United States in disregard of the con-
stitution and laws of the country is
wrong, fcariully wrong.
The Anhcuscr- Busch concern is

German7most Of the stockholders be-
ing German subjects, or b, maybe citi-
zens Of Germany Some Of them main
t. in castles in Germany. During the
war their property WAS seized by the
alien property custodian. This prob
ably has little bearing on the case eX-
cept in so far as ii has bearing on
the development of tho American
merchant marine. 1t is very well un
derstood that If the American mer-
chant marine is developed 1t will
largely take the place of the badly
crippled German merchant marine,
and anything that is done to cripple
the development of the American mer-
chant marine will rebound to the ad-
vantage of the German merchant ma
rine in its vigorous efforts at come
back.
But the main purpose Of this agita-
ton is in the interest Of a return Of
the legalized liquor traffic in Ameri-
ca, so as to restore the wealth, power
and influence of the brewers, mainly
German.
The sale of liquor in American ships
is not to be defended, however plain
it is that dry American ships cannot
compete with liquor selling foreign
ships. But If the American spirit is
what it ought to be and what most of
us think it is, there is remedy. The
purpose of operating ships is more to
make money than 1t is to sell liquor.
There is more money to be made in
America than in any other country in
the world. The carrying trade of this
country, to and from, amounts to
more than the carrying trade of all
other countries.
The solution of this ugly problem
is not in the sale of LIQUOR on Ameri-
can ships; but notice to the world that
unless they cut the liquor out of their
ships they will not be allowed 10 en-
gage in the American carrying trade.
That we've got to stop the sale OF
liquor on American ships is evident,
and If we can't build up n merchant
marine without catering to the vicious
appetites OF the passengers, we are in
deed q nation of chumps.
So far as Anheuser-Bus is con-
cerncd, let them go hang.

There is nothing wrong with the idea
of having 4 congressional veto Oh su-
pccme court decisions. After all, the
Judge is only human, and 1t does not
necessarily follow that because he has
been selected for his place by an indi-
yidual, possibly on the recommenda-
ton of a few other individuals, for po-
lfical reasons, that his judgment Is
any better or his patriotism any high
er than the consensus Of the house or
representatives directly responsible 10
the votes Of the people. Everybody
knows that we have had almost, II not
quite, as many political decisions from
the supreme court Of the United States
and from the district and circuit courts
as we have had from the floor OF the
house of representatives. There have
always been judges who belong to cer-
tain interests and there are still judges
,yho belong to certain interests. we
are quite prepared to accept the die
'tum that the law is the most exact of
llle SClSItSSS, anu We Wv etSNNPh ~
we are unwilling to forget for a mo-
ment that judges are human and sub
iect to all human weaknesses the same
as the rest of us. The nearest to a
correct and just judgment that we can
get on anyt hing is when we have the
deliberate decision of the people regis
tered by mea MS of secret ballot. The
courts are quite indispensable in the
securing of s-Ich judgment; but while
indispensable, they are not infallible III
upholding the highest ideals Of popular
government along the line of equal
Justice to all and special privileges to
none. We think our whole system
would be very much improved if we
should change our constitution so as
to provide for the election of all judges
by the people and in addition to that
allow legislatures to review and veto
the decisions of state courts and con-
gress to review and veto the decisions
of Federal courts, provided the matter
be taken up by the respective legis-
lative bodies within certain fixed time
after the decisions are published.

York County Hard Wood.

There is not as much hard wood in
York county as there used to be but
still there is a great deal more than
many people have any idea Of and also
it is more valuable than most people
appreciate.
The story of the destruction of York
county timber is sad one. Most men
Of fifty years or even a little less re-
member to have seen hundreds of
thousands, even millions of feet of the
finest kind of hickory, oak, walnut.
chestnut, dogwood, maple, and the like
cleared off new ground" and after a
little Of it had been sold for firewood
the balance of it was burned or allow
ed to rot where it fell.
The hard wood timber that has
been wasted in this county during the
past fifty years, would if it were avail
able at this day, be worth millions Of
dollars, even on the stump-this with
out taking into account the pine, oak,
poplar etc.
But in spite Of all the destruction of
the past-the ruthless waste referred
to-there are still several millions of
feet of ash, maple, dogwood and other
valuable woods available in the west
ern part of the county especially, and
it is as little priced today as it was in
the old days.
We venture that for five dollars a
cord we could have brought to York
vile within the next few weeks 4
thousand cords of good oak wood, al
most every stick of which will be suit
able for many of the various uses to
which oak is put in tool handles, fur
niture, etc.
Timber of this kind once plentiful
all over the county is now growing
scarce everywhere, and it is going to
be but short time until there will be
demand for what is left in this part
Of the country.
Either our local people are going to
put in machinery for converting this
timber into valuable finished products
or we are going to be able to sell it to
already established manufacturers at
much better than. cordwood prices.
People who have timber in amounts
of from u few cords up should save it.
The saving Of good timber is one of
the best investments that anybody can
make.
Timber will spell big money within
a very few years from now.

In speech upon the American Fed
Grafton of Labor at Cincinnati last
Wednesday, Senator Robert M. La
Toilette, of Wisconsin made vigorous
a: tack on the United States supreme
court as the real arbiter of the laws
CT this country. He particularly de-
nounced the recent decisions in the
Child labor case and the Coronado
case in which it was held that labor
unions could be sued. The senator
described the supreme court as to all
irtents and purposes the law making
power of the country especially in that
it gave to statutes meanings that con-
gress never intended, without reference
to the constitution.

While the attempt to establish a

failure or anything like a failure.
From an educational point of view it
was a success. From it many got a
practical idea of commercial possi-

not a few learned that there is more

In speech in the senate Wednesday,
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
charged the Metropolitan newspapers
of the east with spreading insidious
and poisonous propaganda against the
new tariff law, designed to protect
labor against foreign pauper
competition. The speech suggested an
unholy and unlawful combination in
which the speaker no doubt had it
about right. Then Senator Walsh,
Democrat, brought in a resolution to
inquire of the attorney general
whether steps had been taken to es-
tablish whether a conspiracy existed
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law as described by the senator from
North Dakota. OF course all this was
with the utmost serious
ness. Just as seriously we want to
inquire whether if it shall be found
that this iniquitous newspaper combi-
nation is in an unlawful combine
against this holy tariff law, will it not
be next in order to inquire into the
nature of the political combination that
was enabled to frame the law in op-
position to the Democratic combina-
ton against it. In convicting this
we sometimes grow little confused.

more than we believe in the war
