undertaking to remain independent
of any lineup o. other candidates,

any character, and stand solely and
strictly on my past record as an Off
Ger of Metropolis and Massac County
in delegating an h nest ser ice to the
people,--and in prompt responding
- each and every call made that
came under my ofIisial jurisdiction.
II has been said that the time has
arrived in the history of this county
when it is almost a matter of inn
possibility for a poor man to be cleo
ted TO any office Of Importance re-
gardless of whatever merits he may
have or possess IN making the people
fearless, efficient and honest off
cial, but this is surely not condi-
ton of affairs to be met with in this
county.
am rather unfortunate to be
elassed in and as one of the number
of that multitude of those who have
no other resources left than to labor
for the subsistence of their families
and | honestly earn every dollar that
| receive, and / am asking the votes

London.-A dispatch to the Times
tacks on the Four Courts are COM
manded and being personally led by
Brigadier General Daley.
After brisk artillery and machine
gun fire General Daley led his men
from the south side of the Liffey
across Grafton street and the Bridges.
The %gunfire had broken down the gate,
and so briskly did the Free State SOL
diers make the ascent that they did
not suffer any serious casualties.
AS they crossed the courtyard rifle
butts and rams broke down the inner
door, and as they fell the defenders
poured a whitening fire upon the at
lacking forces.
Three rebel soldiers were killed out
right by gun fire and ten others were
wounded in hand to hand fighting
which ensued.
twenty-five of the irregulars threw
up their hands and surrendered, while
Rory O'Connor, with Brig. Gen. Tray.
nor and $50 men retreated to a far
corner of the court. Quickly throw
ing up b~arricades they held the Free
Staters at bay.
All over the city and its approaches
snipers operated from strategic posi-
tons. They command Lesson street
bridge and have men stationed in win
dows overlooking College Green.
They took possession of the big
building of the gas company in Dolier
street, connecting O'Connell bridge
with Brunswick street. But every.
where, they are being countered by
regulars, who also are maintaining
many points of vantage.
While the majority of the people in
Dublin commend the action of the pro.
visional government, the Republicans
are circulating confident statements,
and though O'Connor is not supposed
to be in any way responsible to the
DeValera party, 1t is evident from a
statement issued by Mr.. DeValera that
he has that party's sympathy.
No accurate estimate of the cas-
ualties can be made, although the
dead are known to number at least a
score, the wounded reaching n higher
figure. The casualties are by no
means confined to the investing and
besieged forces, as sniping has played
u considerable part. One Free State
soldier was shot dead, while standing
at a window in the Four Courts hotel.
One nan was killed and three were
wounded by snipers in Dane street.

But the skirt must toe the mark,
at least in spots.
In spotsthat's the point. 1t may
be short if it's also long.
So the situation is by no means
hopeless. To lengthen a skirt is no
difficult matter if you have bolt of
ribbon and bit of ingenuity
You may add panels to the front,
back, sides or to all of them and not
only lend the illusion of length, and
give the proper uneven line, but you
can give yourself the altogether pleas
ant sensation of a new frock.
For the most serviceable type of
frock, satin or MORE ribbons the col
orj of the frock are most used, but
gowns whose activities are limited to
afternoon and evening functions may
be gorgeously decorated with figured
and brocaded bands, in harmony or
contrast.

AN APPEAL TO THE FRIENDS
OF PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT

legalize light wine and beer which
would make federal Prohibition nom
enforceable. This would mean the re-
turn of breweries and wineries with a
complete system necessary for distri-
button. The beer traffic with its at
tendant political corruption repre-
scented the principal part OF the OUT
lawed liquor traffic. It's reinstatement,
therefore, would bring back most OF
the evils which were prohibited by the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Congress adopted the definition of
one-half OF | per cent in the Volstead
act because the experience i'll the
states that had adopted Prohibition
had clearly demonstrated that higher
percentage made efficient Prohibition
enforcement impossible. Thirty-four
states have adopted definition of
one-half of per cent or less; seven
states have adopted the standard in the
Volstead act by reference.
The courts have repeatedly declared
that wine is Intoxicating liquor. It,,
