1t is one of the stock accusations OF
the drys that the vets propose to obey
only such laws as suit them, ignoring
those they do not like and thereby un-
dermining the constitution, creating
d~isrespect for all law and so forth and
so on. 1t appears to us that one side
is quite as open to this criticism as
the other and we may relate an in
stance which came under our observa-
ton this fall after the opening of the
bird season.
A party, any member of which
would have violated the prohibition
law gleefully, resolutely passed covey
after covey of blue grouse because
they believed in game laws and keep
ing them-this, too, after some three
days of a diet of bacon-while over
the ridge three good Methodist bro
theirs who would have burned the road
getting to Goppert to report a still or
somebody found at a liquor cache,
were filling their game bags with
grouse, well knowing that the season
had been closed on them.
Those who are familiar with Cen
trail America or have a fondness for
that romantic novel of adventure
"The Soldier of Fortune" which
Richard Harding Davis wrote out of
his experiences in those countries,
may be interested to know that it's
hero, General Lee Christmas, now go
years of age, is very i'll in New Or
leans and not expected to recover.
After figuring in a good many re-
volutions, he settled down to the I'M
romantic business of keeping a hotel
in Puerta Cortez, Spanish Honduras.
He was a better revolutionist than
he was landlord as his hosiery was
not too clean and the food excrable.
Many persons endured it however for
the privilege of knowing its famous
proprietor.
Another almost equally interesting
person on the east coast of that same
country vas Capt. William Maloney,
an American from Louisiana who took
the fortified town of La Cieba on the
Gulf of Honduras with IA men and a
machine gun. He went through barb
wire entanglements under the fire of
the infantry, ran more than a 100
native soldiers into the jungle and es-
tablished himself in their fortress.
For this he vas rewarded with the
title of Commander of the West Coast
Artillery by the successful president
and given a salary in keeping with
his exalted position. He never got in
to a book oil the newspapers but his
career was as good material as that
of General Lee Christmas.

We infer from the following local
in Editor Ralph Smiths News that
there is going to be considerable acti-
witty in church circles in Meeteetse
for a long time to come:
For the first time in three years, or
in other words, the first time since
Rev. Hill preached on the hill, evan
gelical gatherings are taking place.

Mr.. Newton wrote the story fol
his Herald with a gusto which was OF
vious, rolling it like a choice morse
under his tongue to get the full flavor
of it. Then he printed his story in
the middle of the front page with a
black, ~jocular headline.
In justification of publications OF
this nature he declares that it is for
the purpose of furnishing the wrong
doer and installing fear into the heart
of others.
We do not get his viewpoint. Pun
ishing people is the business of the
law and the prerogative of the AL
mighty, and we fail to see why l.. l..
Newton should feel called upon to
take a hand in it.
Without further publicity, this af-
fair would only have been known to

Mr.. Newton, sometime since, laid
special stress upon what he was

A local dude wrangler in discussing
the difference in spirit and point of
view between the people of the old
West and the new, gave the follow
ing illustration:
"When an old timer has to go two
miles after his teepee poles and drags
them in, he caches them for the next
fellow. If the next fellow is an old
timer he does the same; if he is a mid
dle-west pilgrim he uses his patent
poles and chops the teepee poles up
for misunderstanding over his good
luck"

Lords Day Alliance, of which the Rev
Harry Bowlby is the head, has obtain

extremes to which they &c when they
have control of a political situation,
related an incident which happened
during his stay in Moosejaw. A
working man, to ave a dollar, took
advantage of his Sunday to put a
coat of paint on the door of a small
set-in closet in the wall. Someone
with a nose like an Irish setter, smell

road and reported the fact to police
headquarters. The man was arrest

Taking Stitch in Time.

Judging from the tone of the laws
covering automobiles which are being
enacted in foreign countries, there is
reason to suspect that when motor cars
become as popular on foreign shores as
they are in America they will be ade-
ouately regulated with due fairness TO
all concerned.
Many of the foreign countries have
distinct advantage over the unHed
States in regard to motor vehicle reSu-
Iation. Cars have come to their shores
but gradually, yet at all times tnose III
charge of their regulation are aware
that the world must some day dupllcate
the stupendous registration of cars now
seen in America. Preparedness Is tnus
the keynote.
The automobile landed in America
almost over night. While it was reach
ing a registration equal to or exceeding
that now found in France, Italy or even
England, Americans took the Whoie
business as sort of joke. Get a
horse.' they jested, whereas 1t would
have been more appropriate to get a
good motor vehicle code of regulation.
AS soon as officials saw the light they
found it impossible to keep up WITH
registrations, which has been further
complicated by the enormous produc-
ton this year America is proud OF its
motorization, but the very suddenneSS
of it's motorization has been and will
continue for some time to be a serious
handicap.
The foreign countries will have ample
time to experiment with regulation, and
they may be more successful in the long
run. At least they will not be handi-
capped. No car that comes to their
shores is anything to be laughed at;
and they can plainly see that now is the
time to plan for the coming of motori-
cation to their lands

Harmless and Helpful,

car are indeed a nuisance. The
streets and the parking spaces are

the use of the room available. This
means, as a rule, moving the bicycle.

the driver to jump out and do the
job himself What then?

Possession OF white mule is proof
Of violation OF the Federal pro
hlbltion law. Federal Judge Albert B.
Anderson ruled today.
1T Is up TO the person possessing
ii to prove he has it lawfully. This
he can not do because the article is
contraband." Anderson said.
The statement was made In grant
ing injunctlons against ten alleged
blind tigers in Muncie. twenty-five

and operators Of the places. were de

The buildings will not be allowed tc
be occupied unless the owners give

Van Ogle. prosecutor OF Delaware
County. filed the abatement proceed
ings. They were the first to be
brought in Federal Court by a county
prosecutor. Attempts OF defendants
TO prove the prosecutions were po-
litical in character made no headway
with Anderson.
Arthur Logan. colored, proprietor Of
one Of the places closed, asked the
court why proceedings against four
other places in Delaware County
courts were dropped.
"I don't know" Anderson answered.
But that does not excuse violation
of the law in this case
4 know why the case against Hugh
Berry was dropped" John Cox, a de
fendant, said. 1T was because he
served white mule out Of a granite
kettle to city and county officials the
night before the last election. They
were afraid TO go through with the
case"
After the hearing Cox said he had
operated a blind tiger under protec-
ton for ten years and never had been
bothered until recently.
