Maccabees.

, On Saturday night, January 6, the
regular review of National Tent No.
was held in Pythian Temple with
the largest attendance that IL has
had in more than one year it being
installation night. The publicity
given the events to come OF through
the press lead to the assembling of
so many of the members.
Ten applications for new mem
bers were filed by the State deputy
supreme commander, and elected to
membership. The initiation took
place last night by the District de-
gree team, witnessed by another
good attendance.
The installation was conducted BY

Gov. Hyde is Still
"Rattling' Around

Awful Mistake Hyde again made a.
speech Monday at the State Capitol,
this time to a gathering Of County
Prosecutors from over the State, who
had evidently been called together at
his instigation. The alleged purpose
of such meeting was to inaugurate
more vigorous methods for the en-
forcement of the prohibition law, an
admittedly laudable purpose, for real
heartfelt desire. The fact that the
Governor is still at liberty indicates
that he "g6t by" the prosecutors with
his camouflage. Possibly he was
backed up by Gordon of policemen.
Hyde demanded "action" from the
county prosecutors, and suggested Jail
sentences for all those convicted of
violation of the provisions of the Vol
stead law. He said fines for such Of
fenses had already proven to be ineff-
cient in curbing the crime of bootleg
ging; that they could soon recover the
amount of such fines in their Illegal
traffic. All of which may be true.
But where does he get the idea that
Jail sentencesNwill solve the problem.
Has long penitentiary sentence, or
even the death penalty, solved the muir
der problem? No, and it never will.
The only remedy for such evil is
more thorough system of education.
The same thing is very largely true of
bootlegging. But while the people are
being brought up to higher levels, the
penalties now provided will be suffici-
ent to keep the traffic in whiskey
down to a minimum, if the laws are
vigorously enforced.
But it is an uphill pull to enforce
the Volstead lawy or any other law, for
THAT mater, wien the Governor, who
should be the leading citizen of the
State, persists in trampling upon at
tempts at law enforcement by remov-
ing from the penItentlary long term
prisoner, for murder, and making him
his private chauffer, or even having
the prison band make music at the
mansion. Such conduct on the part of
the Governor is calculated to break
down the morale of the average citi-
zen, to say nothing of the lower class,
as n7sE-sg,ctceswill. It is an awfnl
mistake, Hyde, the manner in which
your administration is being conduct
cd. Your career, since first you became
a candidate for the place you now hold,
can be quite accurately summed up in
the following quartette: Fine words;
queer deeds. H.

Free City Mail
Delivery Begins

Postmaster Smith on Wednesday re-
ceived notice from the Postoffice De-
partment at Washington to begin the
free delivery of mail in this city soon
as possible, starting on March 1st, if
possible. But the notice did not reach
here in time to- begin deliveries on the
1st inst, so the initial deliveries were
made yesterday.
The Times is pleased to note that
the two carriers originally recon-
mended are on the jobs, Raymond Pc
pin and Alva Womack, both of whom
are ex-service men, active and intelli-
gent, and will doubtless render salts
factory sesvice. Many are of the
opinion that The Times articles on
"Who Threw the Monkey Wrench"
was instrumental in bringing about
such action from the Postal Depart.
ment. If it had, then we are pleased
if it had not, we nevertheless fee
justified.

A Correction

notice in last weeks Times, in the
account of the confession of Walter
Boatright regarding the killing of
James Birchall, the statement was
made that while witness before the
recent grand jury, mo question was
asked him leading up to what he after
wards confessed"
| desire to say that is an error, as
Boatright was directly questioned in
that regard, and he positively stated
that he knew absolutely nothing re-
garding the matter; in fact that he
was at work in Iron Mountain the ev-
ening of the killing of Birchall. 1t
may be that he was so intimidated by
Powell as to fear telling to that body
what he afterwards confessd to the
Prosecuting Attorney. But, insofar
as his examination before the grand
jury is concerned, he "knew nothing"
feel sure all the other grand jury
men will corroborate what l have said.

$500 Damage
Suit On Trial

The suit wherein Walter Holly is
plaintiff and the st. Joe Lead Co. is
defendant, came up for hearing Tues
day in the circuit court, and was sub
mitted to the jury about 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The suit was for $4,000 damages.
Holly sustained badly crushed hand
while working for the st. Joe about
fifteen years ago, which has left that
member in a sadly withered and use
less condition. The hand was caught
in a ,crusher which the plaintiff was
cleaning out at the time of the acci-
dent, when the machine was set in
motion without plaintiffs knowledge.
The case was hard fought by the at
torneys on both sides.
The jury was out only brief time
and agreed on verdict for $500 for
the plaintiff,

We Admit
the Mistake

The Iron County Register last week
calls attention to an alleged error in
The Times of Feb. 10th, in regard to
an article on Terrible Iron County
Roads," That article stated that the
st. Francois county line is hardly
crossed enroute to Ironton before the
road is practically lost in terrible
quagmire. as
In this, it is claimed by our good
friend, Eli D. AXE, was an error; that
this first and worst mud-hole spoken
OF was, in reality, in st. Francois
county, Not being familiar with the
exact boundary line of st. Francois
county, in that direction, we have made
a more thorough investigation of the
matter, and find that we were in error
in charging that mud-hole up to Iron
county; that St. Francois county is
more extended in that direction than
we had supposed. While that dis
graceful quagmire, right in the middle
of an otherwise good road, was very
near the county line, the odium of it
must be borne by this county. But
this, of course, in no way excuses Iron
county from blame, as by far the worst
part Of the road, including several very
unattractive mud-holes, was in that
county.
But The Times, being st. Francois
county product, is in no position to
criticise the roads of other counties
whie it has scar in its generally
good roads like that aobve referred to.
Just how or why it should have oc-
CURED is not yet clear, unless it was
,due to the sudden breaking through of
the surfaceing by reason of the
freezing and thawing processes that
were then in operation, augmented by
the heavy truck traffic. With the
large sums that go annually into the up
keep Of the roads of this county, such
occurrences should be strictly, guard
ed against. The fact is that the roads
of st. Francois county generally were
never in better condition than they are
at present. This makes it even more
difficult to find satisfactory excuse
for the existence Of the terrible scar
complained Of.

Joe Hicks Now

is THE ELEPHANT SLIPPING?

Republican office holders have been
asked to contribute 1910 every three
months" in order that the party pa
per, the National Republican, may still
further spread the gospel of pure
Republicanism and pure American
ism" The appeal has been made in
the form of circular letter, on the
stationery of the House of Represent
atives. 1t is signed by member OF
Congress. Presumably it is authen-
tic.
The Harding administration, the
letter saws, has done well, but the pub
lie does not know it. The public mind
has been confused by the msincere
counsel and erroneous comment Of the
independent press. Consequently,
there is a good deal of dissatisfaction.
There is rather a radical slant, too, to
public sentiment. All this must be
corrected. The great corrective is the
party paper.
From a partisan viewpoint the OBJ
iect is admirable, but the letter is a
weak, meandering document. 1t has
no gripping quality. 1t lacks punch
The proposition, it seems to us, should
be presented straight and cold. Thus
to Republican Congressman, for ex'
ample: Is it worth $40 quarterly, OF
$40 year, to revive public confidence
in your party and thereby save your
$500 Job? Are you willing to spenc
II cents day (which is what we are
asking) to protect an office that pays
YOU more than 500 day? If you are
now is the time to subscribe.
The letter indicates that the Re
publican party is slipping. Certainl!

peared in the party's financierint

OBEDIENCE TO LAW

One of the many objections made
to the prohibition law is that its fire.
quent violation encourages disrespect
for all law. If this were true the in
evitable conclusion would follow that
only popular laws shoud be enacted.
This. brings up the very important
question Who made the law? Was it
enacted by an irresponsible group of
misrepresentation of American senti-
ment? Or was it passed after mature
deliberation by body of legislators
chosen in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Constitution for the pur-
pose of putting into operation the
mandates of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the august instrument, which
Lord Bryce has recently characterized
as the most important political instru-
ment ever formulated by man?
The objection in question is an old
cry, with which the citizens of Kan
sas, Maine, the Carolinas and others
of the original dry states are entirely
familiar. As to the justification for
it, it would appear that the only
means of determination would be to
examine the situation in dry states
before the Volstead act was passed
1t seems little likely that such inves-
tigation would support this conten-
ton. The fact indubitably is that in
the states which passed prohibition
laws decades ago, its salutary effects
were much in evidence in lessened
crime and novertv increased bank ac-
counts better homesteads. more sons
and daugbtersi n higher institutions
Of learning and in short. in substan-

tbroupb debauching the citizenry of
those states, which had courage to

proved Conditions are not results OF
iawlessness but of obedience to law.
But IF the charge were true, il
shouId serve as nositive stimulus tc
ali good citizens-and that would in.
clude the vast majority of the popu.
Elation--to see to it that the law be en-.
forced so completely as to remove thu
