E. O. MELVIN DIED
VERY SUDDENLY
Member OF The Worcester
y County Bar. Educated For The
\ Ministry.

Mr.. Charles o. Melvin. prominent
lawyer of Pocomoke City, died very
suddenly Wednesday afternoon. He
was about 76 years of age and had
been in poor health for several years.
He was in Baltimore hospital about
three months ago, but since that time
appeared at the trial table in the Cir
cult Court for Worcester County, and
was apparently improved in health.
Mr.. Melvin is survived by three
children, two sons, Homer and ingalls,
Melvin and one daughter, Mrs. Enid
Wulif.
Funeral services will be held Satur-
day morning, after which interment
will be made in the NJ. p. Cemetery.
The pallbearers will be members of
the Worcester Bar.
Charles o. Melvin was native of
Somerset County, not far from POGO
moke City. He was educated for the
ministry, and was a member of the
Maryland General Conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church, serving
a number of churches as pastor. In
the early sos, Mr.. Melvin decided to
leave the ministry and take up law.
In 1885 he was admitted to practice
in the Circuit Court Of Worcester
County, and in a few years he had
built up lucrative practice which in
creased with the years. He was a
Republican in politics and had been
honored by his party. On several
occasions he was the party nominee
for Office and was Deputy Collector
of Internal Revenue for the Eastern
Shore for a Presidential term. For
many years he was the editor and
owner of the Ledger-Enterprise news
paper published in Pocomoke City.
He conducted a clean sheet and had
great consideration for his contem-
poraries-never engaging in person
alities or villification and abuse. He
was kindly, courteous gentleman of
the old school, who refused to obey
the behests of political leaders when
they called on him for abuse of his
opponents. He was q good lawyer
and good speaker.
His death is greatly regretted by
all who knew him and he will be
greatly missed in the business and
social life of Pocomoke City and Wor-
cester County.

Col. Albert W. Sisk, of Caroline
County, a prominent member of the
NJ. f.. Church. and q DRY" man, has
declared himself in favor of the re-
peal of the "Volstead Law" and offers
something in its place which he deems
more effective.
To-day, in less than two years" Mr..
Sisk said, "there is scarcely city.
town or hamlet in the United States
where there is not a quantity of ques-
tionable liquor kept in stock by boot
leggers for distribution. In the cities
almost every Soft-dlink saloon keeps
wines and beers for sale, and practi-
cally every hotel has bottled whisky
for its guests. ANY guest can get It
for the price. Inquire for it and you
are told to see the porter or some
other irresponsible employee. In
many hotels the information is passed
to you without the inquiry. East,
West, North, South. wherever you go,
the Volstead act is violated in every
conceivable way. The violations are
winked at by officials high and low,
and the great body of American peo-
pie know it is being violated and make
no effort to stop it.
Describes Eastern Shore Conditions.
"On the Eastern Shore private and
commercial stills are dotted here and
there in every county. The effort to
break them up is laughed at by their
owners and has proven futile. The
bootleggers simply change their loca-
tion and continue as before, making
and selling corn whisky and various
poisonous connections, killing some
and undermining the health of many.
after serious consideration of the
conditions that exist today. not only
on the Eastern Shore but all over the
country. have come to the conclu-
sion that the Volstead Act is certainly
not the best solution of the liquor
/, problem. which | believe is the one
big national problem before the
American people further believe
that il will continue to be the leading
political issue until il is settled right.
~ regard the bootlegger as the
greatest menace in America today.
The sale and purchase of liquOr,which
the Volstead Act makes crime, is
breeding disrcspect and disregard OF
the law. Law, however. does not regu-
late what we do and what we eat and
drink. II is only when that which we
do becomes a menace to somebody else
that law steps in and functions.
"There undoubtedly has set in a
large and energetic reaction against
the Volstead brand Of prohibition as
il stands today. This is the case all
over the country. and it seems to me
that among the most respectable
classes of people there is the greatest
amount of opposition and violation of
the law without any conjunction of
conscience. People simply do not feel
that they are doing wrong. George
W. Crabbe himself said not long ago
that the bootlegger would not have a
living today if i. were not for the
patronage of the respectable element
of our population.
Says Law Aids Bootleggers.
sit is for the reason that so few OF
our population respect and obey the
Volstead statute that | favor its re-
peal, and for the further reason that
it serves the purpose of the bootleg
gers operations, and enables him to
exact huge profits from his custo-

TELEPHONE COMPANY
SHOWS EXPANSION

The Oregon Washington Telephone
Co., has made fair growth the past
year according to j. E. Smithson, just
reelected general manager and presi.
dent of the concern. Over 100 tele-
phones have been added to exchanges.
The company has earned six per cent
on an investment of 1920, 600. A total
outstanding bond issue of $3.50, 900 how
ever, will require all but 81 800 of the
earnings in the payment of interest
and discounts. The balance left will
be added to a surplus fund.
During the past year the telephone
company has disposed of a system at
Stevenson and has purchased the tele-
phone lines of Underwood. The latter
will be operated by an exchange con-
nected with White Salmon. Other
directors, all reelected, named at the
annual meeting of the company are !:
G. Dethman, vice president; f. 0.
Blanchar, secretaly-treasurer and j.

PRlNEYILLE POST SUP
PORTED, SAYS WILBUR

"The Oregon Department and the
Hood River Post of the American Le-
gion are foursquare behind the Prime
vile Legion Post in their endeavor.to
prevent colonization by Japanese Of
the land in the Ochoco project" says
G. r. Wilbur. "Of course, at present
there is no provision of Oregon law
that will prevent settlement of the
land by Japanese. But the farmers of
that district will find when they bring
in the Orientals that they are making
for themselveys and for Oregon an
other Lace problem. They will have
the japanese and their children always
with them. We here in Hood River,
while we haven't anything to say
against the japanese, whose energy
and thrift are admirable, know that
racial friction is inevitable if the Ori-
entails are allowed to increase their
holdings"
Mr.. Wilbur states that he is now en-
gagged in preparing for initiation, for
vote of the people IN November, bill
that will prohibit any ownership, or
control by lease. of land by japanese
in Oregon.

About the Oak Tree

As chairman of the street commit
tee, would like for the people Of
Hood River to voice themselves in re-
gard to the cutting of the big oak tree
on 4th and Oak Streets. 1t is our
intention to save all the trees in the
city as far as possible, but this tree is
in a very unhealthy condition. In fact,
it is nothing but a shell and dangerous.
1t will have to come out some day.
But we are here to serve the people
and unless you voice yourself it is hard
to do.
So let US hear from as many of you
as possible before Monday, February
6. council meeting.

Fruit Tree Salvage Proposed

Orchardists who are cutting down
their infected apple and cherry trees
and burning them are asked to stop
and listen to a word from John W
Pace, newly appointed supervisor of
industrial management in the state of
Washington. Mr.. Pace says that he has
a market for apple and cherry wood,
as it can be turned to good use in
manufacturing certain articles. Just
what his plans are.in regard to these
products was not indicated, but it is
believed that it is only another one of
he schemes he is going to try out in
extending the industrial work in the
state penal institutions and asylums.

Apple Shipments Grow Lighter

But % cars of apples were moved
from the Hood River valley the past
week. The decrease in shipments re-
suited partly from the zero weather.
II was largely the result, however, of
the entire clean up of all early vari-
cites of apples. Holdings here now
are practically limited to Newtowns,
and these are in cold storage quarters
for the most part Total shipments of
apples to Saturday night reached 2,44O
cars.
1t is estimated that not more than
$50 carloads remain here. The bulk of
these are held by the Apple Growers
Association.

Worth Considering

The question is not SO much how you
contract a cold, but how to get rid of
it with the least loss of time and in
convenience. If you will consider the
experience Of others under similar cir
cumstances, who have been most sue
cessful in checking colds, in their be
ginning. you will secure a bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy without
dlay, and use it faithfully. There are
many families who have used this
preparation successfully for years and
hold 1t in high esteem. Ii is excellent.
