&c. CHENAULT WRITES
ON DRY QUESTION

The Lexington Herald had {
very interesting letter frol,
Judge john c. Chenault, of Rich-
mond, which will be read with
interest, it follows:
Editor, Lexington Herald:
Your editorial in Tuesdays is
sue, Sacrifices . the Moloch OF
Moonshine," should engage the
attention and prayerful thought
Of every law and order loving
citizen OF the commonwealth.
| agree with you i'll every con-
c!usion reached in that editorial
The present system is inefficien
to prevent the manufacture ami
sale of whisky.
Is there a way to. DO away
with the search for the illicit
still and thereby lessen the pos
sibility of a recurrence OF the
tragedies you refer to?
] think the time has come
when remedy should be search
ed for, and a different course
pursued to prevent the. sale and
use of whisky.
The object and aim of the
present prohibition amendment
was to protect the individual and
ii possible, to have sober citi-
zens instead of drunken citizens.
The law is as much opposed tc
the illegal use of whisky as it is
t6 the manufacture Of illegal
whisky.
Many years ago an effort was
made by CUR citizens to induce
our people to sign what was
then known as the Murphy
pledge by moral suasion.
Our young men were patrons
OF the many saloons in our city
and the slogan was "Wean the
calves and the cows would &c
dry"
believe that sentiment
should be revived, and instead of
risking 50 much to run down
the moonslliner, let US give more
attention to the consumers who
make it possible for the moon
sinner to engage in his illegal
business.
AS a rule, the consumer is a
higher class of citizen than those
who enter into the illegal man
ufacture and sale OF whisky. He
can be deferred by probable pun
ishment from the purchase OF
whisky much easier than the one
who makes it.
Think OF it from this stand

 SUCCESS IN MARINE CIRCLES
MORTON E. WILLIS, JUNIOR ENGINEER AT 20, IS AM BITIOUS TO SECURE HIGHER RATING.-TAkES
 NECESSARY EXAMINATION
He Studies New York School Days and Works Marine
 Machinst Nights to Attain Goal

Ambitious to achieve the rating of marine engineer, and thus gain the distinction of being one of the young est men on record to attain this high standing, Morton E. Willis. son of Mir. and Mrs. Clarence F. Willis of Sunny side avenue. Putnam. on Monday ap- peared before the official marine e1- amining board at New York City and took the test, the successful passing of which is the greatest of his aspira- tions just now It will be a day or two before he knows how he made out
 Mfr. Willis is but 20 years old and yet he has attained the heights of the junior engineer-a rating in marine circles that he has attained by hard study, strict application to attainment of his goal, and because ef his mark ed ability.
 Studies Days, Works Nights
 During the past two years or so Mir. Willis has been q student at the Ma rine Engineers and Mechanics Insti-  during the day and working in the marine machine shops of the Laeka- wana Railroad at night. He has one year more to go to school before he graduates. But if he passes the exam ination he took on Monday. he will not have to complete the school course, for by passing. he will have proven that his knowledge of marine engines k thorough and is entitled to the en- gineer's rating.
 Recently Mr. Willis had an opror- tunity to obtain some practical experi- ence. to augment his theory obtained at school. by going to sea on ships of the Cosmopolitan line. On June 2i he finished a round trip 10 France on board the s. s. Schodack He per formed the duties on this trio tais tirst on the high seas1 SO well that his employers asked him to remain with them. offering him advanced rating. with higher pay.

 Mr. Willis love for the sea, ships and everything about them is doubt less inherited, as very likely is also his ability along the lines he has ehos en ta pursue is his life work. Both his grandfather and great-grandfather were seafaring men who attained prominence and his own father is q stationary engineer of ability. Thus he may attribute his love for the sea 10 his grandfather and great-grand- father and his mechanical ability to his father and his own plugging to reach the star to which he has hitch ed his chariot
