Pending the committee meeting to-

1t appears TO face as bitter op-
position from that quarter as the

of lukewarmncss among administra-
ton leaders, largely belonging to the
reservationist group in the league
fight. are seen in some quarters.
Among league proponents on the
Democratic side there has been gem
eral endorsement of the aims sought
in the administration program, par
ticularly among the so-called Wilson
group. Even this endorsement,
though, has been coupled with reser-
vations as TO details.

Weed Out Corruption.
Indeed, prohibition enforcement
which at first was looked upon as a
half-hearted affair is beginning to be
taken seriously. Mr.. Haynes has
weeded out as much corruption among
his agents as he could in the last year
and knows there's more to be accom-
phshed in that direction bu he also
has learned more about handling n
mobile force Of men who can descend
upon locality, study its problem,
make raids and arrests and depart to
another community while another mo-
bile force of agents arrives to con-
tinue the work. Success has attended
this policy and it will be kept up.
Expert investigators are being de-
veloped and where there Is the right
kind of cooperation between state and
federal forces the cleanup will cone
sooner than most people expect.
Public sentiment, of course, is the
main obstacle in some states while in
others it is the bulwark of law en-
forcement. The campaign of education
will be kept up for the next several
years in the hope that the business
and professional men will gradually
cease to encourage Illicit sale and
recognize their obligation to uphold the
structure of law and the constitution.

The President thinks America viii
never again see hard liquor legally
sold. |.
He doesn't think a modification OF
existing law TO permit beverages OF
between . and ) per cent of alcoholic
content would do away with illicit
traffic in Whiskey. The craving of
some people for hard liquor, good or
bad, will never be satisfied by lighter
beverages.
Never Out of Politics.
The President believes certain of the
large cities will take longer to sub
due than the rest of The country and
that liquor will continue to be sold
in violation of the law in such places
for some time TO come, in fact until
some shocking scandal, some poison
ing of large numbers of citizens
through bad liquor awakens the COM
munities TO their sense of responsible
lily for law enforcement.
Mr.. Harding doseL't think the liquor
question will ever b. taken out of
American politics. He once thought
it would. He has found that even
with an amendm mt to the federal con-
stitutiOn, the subject is still political
and bores its way into campaigns for
municipal, state and federal offices
irrespective of party.
The conception of duty which Mr..
Harding holds with respect to law en-
forcement is gradually being under
stood by subordinate officials. Roy
Haynes, prohibition comm issioner. is

cal pull would get about as far with

Never before, in the years allotted
to US, have we had such a large
number of our friends on the list of
dupes, caused by the failure of some
security company, as at the present
time. Just recently there was add
ed a new hatch We say "dupes"
because that is the name we applied
to ourselves, and answered to, when,
years ago we found ourselves en-
tangled in a similar scheme. Our
investment was small, of course, but
il taught us a good lesson early in
life. And who is it that plays the
cards so cleverly tnar gets us into
this get-rich-quick game? Why. gen.
orally speaking, he is our friend too.
Perhaps some one we have known
for years. These so-called friends
come to us, bubbling and bursting
with enthusiasm over the prospect
of multiplied wealth, desirous that
we share with them, and reeling off
a spell that makes national banks,
government banks, etc. look cheap
AMI in"ienifcant, and when the
psychological moment arrives, under
this hypnotic influence, with the lure
of big interest before our eyes, with
out seeking any further advice, We
hand over our wad. Most every
town Of any size has one of those
jolly good fellows, a solicitor who
rides around in Big s, with a good
elsa ST king out between his teeth
lily tipped back to conform TO their
most fanciful adjustment, assuming
an air of importance that makes US
common ''rubes" look about as in
significant as some of the pygYnies of
the South Sea Islands. Can they af-
ford it? Sure they can. They ge
su1' big rake Off" from you and
me that they can well afford it.
When will this thing stop? Never,
unless the strong arm of the law in
some way takes hold and prevents
it. There are plenty of companies
in existence and new ones being
formed to carry on this big business,
and there is great throng of eligi-
bic victims coming along who have
not yet gotten their eye-teeth cut
and,--just wait gentlemen, don't
crowd, and in due time there will be
another harvest and we can furnish
a newly revised list to your COM
plete satisfaction. Yes, we can
truthfully say that we are sorry for
our friends who have been lured by
the sirens song or big interest, but
experience is the only school and
many there be that will learn in no
other.
Thirty-eight years ago there was
little boy playing around the old
blacksmith shop here who answered
to the name of Jack" He lived
with his mother and step-father
whose name was Scott. They moved
away and we lost all trace of them.
A few days ago a man with his wife
and children came along in an auto
and asked us if we had any recollec-
tion of him. We told him that he
had us guessing. 1t was "Jack"

OUR COUNTY FAIR

While the secretary of the Morgan
county fair has used the columns of
this paper freely in boosting and ad-
vertising the Morgan county fair, we
are also glad to boost it in this man
ner. AS a departure from former
years we are to have four days, in
stead of three, beginning Sept. IL.
We hope and believe that the fair
will be better because of this extra
day. When the activities of the year
are all summed up, there is none of
them that does so much for the
county in general as the county fair
1t is an institution that has been
with us for many years, and 1t mas
every indication of surviving for
many years to come. Wh1le eXhlDlts,
amusement attractions, horse rae
ing, etc, go to make up largely
fair, still all of these do not alto
gether make the fair, it takes some
thing else, and that is the crowd.
All cannot help the fair IN the way
of making exhibits, but there are
very few but who can attend, and 1t
is up to every loyal resident of Nor
gan county who wants the fair to
succeed. to be on the fair grounds at
least one Of the four days. Of
course a part of the fair is the social
feature-the getting together, the
picnic dinner, and making of new
friends, forgiving Of enemies, etc.
The management has worked hard
and faithfully TO make the fair a
success. They have done their part,
and now it is largely up to the peo-
ple as to whether it will be sue
cess. The state fair is over, and the
management has carefully arranged
the dates so that they do not con-
fiict with fairs of surrounding coun-
ties-in fact ours is the last of the
county fairs in this section Of the
state This fact should work to the
advantage of our fair in the way OF
increased attendance.
Once again--the dates are Sept
II, II, 13, IA Figure which day
or days you will attend, then when
the time comes, go day or two eX-
ira for good measure.
