eooTLEGGERs HIRE SCHOOL
 BOYS TO SERVE AS SPIES

DETROIT December 30-A new and determined attack on down-river rum runners was advocated here by Paul Worries, prosecuting attorney, when he learned that 25 schoolboys in Ec- orse. a bootleggers' rendezvous, were being employed as spies, lookouts and messengers by the bootleggers.
 The revelation that school boys had become involved in the liquor traffic, was made through the arrest of How ard Hemke, 15 years old, of Ecorse, who was stopped while he was dellv- ering a truck load of whiskey to down-river roadhouse.
 q am only one of the boys who are working for the bootleggers,' the boy declared in his statement.
 'sWe work all day Saturday ana Sunday and at night. Some or us are stationed as lookouts and instructed to watch for the state police. Others are spies, sent to watch the police, and at times all of us have helped drive, whiskey. I have made six or seven trips across the river with a man that lives in a houseboat at Ecorse.

K0YUKUK HAS A
 VERY MILD WINTER

WISENkAN Alaska, (By mail to Fairbanks News s-Miner)-This district has had very late fall mild weather and not enough snow to make good sledding, altho a number of loads ot caribou have been brought in from the hunting grounds of the south fork.
 Caribou showed up within a mile or two of town, and today several peo- pie are out hunting there. Caribou IS selling at three pounds for dollar. No sheep or moose have been brought in this fall.
 The Teddy H. did not get above Alatna on her last trip and none of the. supplies she brought have reached Wiseman as yet, although several dog teams are down the river for loads. At present there is shortage of eggs, bacon, hams, onions, dog feed, dog tal- low, potatoes and one or two other articles. A hard freeze was experi- enced here on August 28, on top of a bad summer fo- gardens. and all crops were killed.
 There are no local potatoes or yege- tables for sale, as many who had gar dens did not harvest sufficient for their own use The crop of blueberrlcs and cranberries was almost total failure, something that seldom hap pens.
 Marcel Sheehy and George Maglasis sank a hole about seven feet deep on Clara creek, about six weeks ago and are reported to have gotten about s16 in the bottom of it. They are prepar- ing for winter work.
 On Nolan creek everyone is waiting sufficient snow to allow wood hauling for winter work There is some work being done on Hammond river this winter and there is one outfit working on Emma creek.
 Wild river has not been heard from.

VOTE SWAPPING BECOMES A SCANDAL

The accepted practice of swapping votes m state Legislatures has reached a pass where It is akin to national scandal. The public inter est is sacrificed on the ealtar of county cupldl- tv, though as a fact the home folks ln the long run pay dearly for their supposed favor ed legislation ''You vote for my bill and II vote for yours.'' is the battle cry. ''The pro visions of my bill will not affect your terri tory. and nobody cares anyhow" The custom, of course. is the outgrowth of the Washington pork barrel scramble where favored noses are so brazenly thrust into the national money trough. There it is bad enough, but when the practice is brought more nearly home the ef- feet is demoralizing. Unprincipled legislators are enabled to entrench themselves in office so firmly that it soon becomes next to lm- possible to uproot them. They always ''make good, for the home folks, and that IS as far as the vision goes. The rest, to quote the melancholy Dane, is silence The practice lowers the moral fibre of the people and legis- latures become simply distributing centres of graft and special favors, state budgets are swollen beyond all necessity, genuine expendl- lures do not count, nothing counts, indeed, but moves that will keep the tawdry politician in his legislative job.

pletely as did those who abdicated their offices in the Illinois locality which has just been given worldwide odium, this republic would be plunged into the black chaos of wholesale murder and rapine.
 It is high time that there should be an awakened sense of duty and responsibility among citizens and officials throughout this country. Lawlessness great and small is in creasing. We cannot go much further along the road of disregard of law and contempt of courts a1fd the preaching of class hatred and envy by open or secret enemies of American institutions, without paying a fearful price for our disregard of things fundamental in this republic. The Herrin massacre is an alarm bell ringing in the night. Well 1t will be if it should arouse the sleeping loyalty of Americans to their priceless heritage of or dered liberty.
