Little Insects Are Well Organized

The ant is mans greatest rival in

LAWS OF THE STATE
Governor Harvey Will Do Something
to Secure Enforcement.

4 program OF stricter law enforce
ment was outlined by Governor WI
son G. Harvey in a statement issued
to the press Monday in which the
chief executive tells of several steps
he is contemplating looking 20 more
rigid observance of the laws OF the
state One of the steps the governor
is considering is n change in the syS-
tenn of employing state constables.
Instead of having state constables as
signed permanently to certain places
in the state, the governor proposes to
use the men as floating" officers,
sending them wherever in the state
they arc most needed. The chief exc
cutive has not definitely decided upon
this course but he has it under con-
sideration and will establish it unless
he notes Improvement in the law en-
forcament throughout the whole state.
with which he says he is not now
fully satisfied. The argument ad-
vances in favor of the floating con-
Stabulary is that the law ViolatorS
would not be acquainted with the Of
ficers and would therefore not be pre-
pared for their raids. The governor
is also hot in behind the magistrates
of the state for their cooperation in
law enforcement. The executive stated
today that if he finds magistrates that
are not cooperating fully In enforcing
the laws, he will take whatever ac-
ton is advisable even to the point OF
revoking commissions IL necessary.
The governor stated that he also pro-
poses to discontinue the practice of
past years of commissioning con-
stables for an indefinite period. There
are men in the state now with con-
stable commissions, the duration of
which is until revoked b! the gov
ernor," and the men nave seen for
gotten and governors have come and
gone. This leaves an open gateway
that may usher in serious results tho

armies, the Russian, German and
BoIshevik forces, all in turn occupied
Riga, and all left some Of their loot
behind. In addition TO the large num-
ber of field glasses for sale here. there
are service revoNers and automatics
of all kinds, German and American
predOminating. Somewhere near the
war relics of the second hand shop
windows there is usually n shining
little heap Of Czarist decorations and
medals, now pawned and for sale.
Treasures of old Russia that were
pawned for food by fleeing refugees,
loot of beaten armies hastily dropped
along the pathway of retreat, loot OF
an empire smuggled across the borders
of Russia-all have found their way
to the counters Cf the second hand
shops here. Should you like to hear
the story of the trinkets before you
know who burned the cigarette holes
in the bearskin rug, or what princess
of the old regime once treasured the
little gold and blue enamel inlaid vani-
ty case, the suave proprietor will be
very pleased to tell you all about it.
He will tell a very good story too, for
he will not have been deceived by your
best German pronunciation, and will
know that you are an Americaner with
many. many grecnbackCd dollars to
buy those things which may please
your fancy.
Prices Are Soaring.
His story will probably be untrue.
No one knows whence or how the in
dividual of this flotsam and jetsam OF
Old Russia came into Riga. Each arti-
Gle has been bought and sold many
times, even while here. One dealer
buys from another and sells to third
in turn. for they know that this is
almost the last of the loot of empire,
and that prices OF antiques are rising
almost daily with a diminished avail
able supply. So the pawnbroker will
tell an excellent story: the blOodier
and more gruesome the story the
higher the price.
Yet the second hand shop windows
of Riga have little need of explanations
or highly painted histories. Their
dusty jumbled litter, the sacred ikons
and blazing pawned decorations, the
tarnished silver bracelets and battered
samovars, the worn furs and thread
bare evening gowns, all tell their own
stories without words.

that he and the prophet had already
