COUNC|LMEN
DISMISS HARRY WARD

The people of Cody, with few ex-
ceptions, will regret to learn that the
council has asked for Harry WARDS
resignation as Town Marshal, to take
effect April 18th. The person select
ed by Algott johnson, Charlie Stump
and Roy Holm to take his place was
+. r. Cullen. Mayor Trueblood hay-
ing the good judgement to realize
that such an appointment would mean
renewal of the friction which existed
between the sheriff's office and the
townsfolk while Cullen acted as under
sheriff during the Davis regime, pre-
ferred not to consider their choice
and named instead Clarence Shrine
who, in the circumstances, is perhaps
as wise a selection as could have been
made.
Wizard is admitted to be the most
Conscientious, hard-working marshal
that the town has ever had. He has
shown good judgement in the per-
formance of his duty and has the lik-
ing and respect of the citizens of
Cody from the youngsters playing in
the streets to the oldest inhabitant.

Carl Johansson who returned from
a visit to Sweden last week, says that
prohibition speakers from America
everywhere made the statement that
the United States was absolutely dry.
The Rev. Shupp, Supt. of the Anti
Saloon league of Missouri, was recent
fy forced to resign because of charges
that he aided bootleg druggists"
in whose stores Rev. Shupp's son had
a controlling interest.
A spectator who saw the raid on
the Almo Hotel in Greybull a short
time ago, writing in the Greybull
Tribune, declares that C. A.. Davis
and the twelve other sheriffs and de-
puties who assisted in serving the
warrant upon the manager, We're
armed with bows and arrows. We
do not know anything about that but
we are informed that Mr.. Davis was
more than a little put out because
Sheriff Loomis went over to Meetee-
tse and arrested peggy" Nolan while
he, Charlie, was waiting for the Boys

The first test vote on the wet and
dry issue before the lower house of
the Wisconsin legislature resulted in
a victory for the vets Wednesday,
March 7th when the assembly voted:
81 to "a, to adopt a resolution asking
Congress to define Intoxicating bev-
erages.
There seems to be a growing dis
position on the part of the Courts
to remind the prohibition forces that
they are not immune from the laws
which govern other organizations.
The Anti Saloon league in the
state of New York has fought for
years to escape accounting to the
secretary of state for all its receipts
and expenditures under the corrupt
practices act. Last month it lost its
fight when the Supreme Court JUS

political committee, subject to all the
requirements of the committees of tn
Republican, Democratic and other
political parties, which must file
statements with the secretary of state
showing all of their receipts and ex-

NEIGHB0RS DO NOT
WANT TOWN OF Wiley
RIGHT next DOOR
MAYOR TRUMBULL AIMS TO
KEEP ON COMING WITH HIS
TOWN-MOVING BANK
BUILDING AND
HOUSES

When, in the absence OF popula-
ton. the Mayor Of Wiley. Robert
Trumbull, conceived the idea Of NOV
ing his town to Cody It seemed to
him a particularly happy thought.
On the one hand there were houses
with no people, and, on the other,
people with no houses; so, since Cody
needed the houses and the Mayor
needed the money, the only drawback
which presented itself was the fact
that he had no place to put his town
once he got it here. But Mayor
Trumbull, being a resourceful person
was undaunted by this small obstacle,
and selected four nice lots in a des-
irable section, two on one side of the
residence of R. w. Allen and two on
the other, and arranged with the
Building and Loan Association for
the money to purchase them.
1t did not occur to Mayor Trum-
bull that he and his town would not
be as welcome as the flowers in May
wherever he chose to locate, there
fore his establishment may be imag-
ined when Mr. Allen whom he was
surrounding with the town of Wiley,
objected.
The r. w. Allen residence is a
round-shouldered, low-browed, one
story bungalow whereas Mayor Trum
bulls town consists of two two-story
dwelling houses and a three-story
bank building.
With the prospect of the view
which he has enjoyed for many years
being shut off on either side, and
visualizing the appearance of his
bungalow squatting between the
three-story bank building and the
two-story dwelling with himself hav-
ing the feeling of living in canyon,
Mr.. Allen set out to see what he could
do about it.
To date, he has not been able to
do anything about it, as there seems
to be a feeling that a man may do
what he wants to with his W town.
The officers of the Building and
Loan Assn did not agree with Mr..
Allen. who is 4 director. when indir-
ectly he endeavored to stop the loan
to MI. Trumbull upon the ground
that loans could not be made for
ohtre than building purposes.
Mr.. Allen now gets up to the cheer
ful sound Of the saw and the hammer,
and looks out sorrowfully upon the
view which soon will be lost to him
forever.
Mayor Trumbull declares that,
when remodelled, his town will be a
credit to any section, however fash
ionable. Nor would he for a moment
think of renting rooms in his ten
room bank building to a colored fami-
~ with more than five children.

Jack Spicer dropped in on Thurs
day, leaving at noon Friday.
His explanation for his short stay,
after so long an absence, was that hs
wanted to get back to the hills where
he would have time to read the
charges against him as contained in
the papers made out by the %prosecut-
ing attorney.
There has been much interest in
Spicers' whereabouts ever since he
was accused of shooting Joe Hill in
the amplest part of the %latter's ana
tony while he was in the saddle, and,
in a way, ham-stringing him. The
incident occurred during Sheriff
Davis's tenure office but apparently
Mr.. Davis did not feel that he had
lost any Spicer, so it was something
of a surprise all around when Spicer
rode in the week before last to be
arrested.
As there was no one here to make
out the papers he had to come back
this week and try again.. This time
he was successful in being arrested
for liquor violations, robbery, and at
tempted murder, and vas placed un-
der $4,000 bond before departing.

In California, representatives of
the Society Opposed to Prohibition
were called before the Election Ex-
pense Investigation Committee, along
with representatives of the w. C. T.
U. and the Anti-Saloon league. The
Anti Prohibitionists incurred no ex-
pense during a recent campaign then
and there were given a clean bill of
health.
The representatives of the Anti
Saloon league declared that he was
in ignorance of such a law-had new
er heard of the corrupt practices act
He failed to convince the committe,
however, and after an uncomfortable
grilling, he was commanded to file a
supplementary report.

Down in Louisville, Kentucky,
Judge Evans decided that automo-
biles containing liquor could not be
stopped and searched without a war
rant. Thefeupon the chief prohibit
ton officer declared that he would
move the entire force of federal Of
ficers from the state into Tennessee.
There was no movement underway
to stop him.
In Buffalo, New York, Judge John
r. Hazel in federal court declared
that prohibition agents have absolute
ly no right to enter a home without
a warrant and asserted "such methods
must be discontinued at once" His
action followed a hearing on three
cases.
A few more criss-crosses were put
in the brows of prohibition enforce
ment chiefs last week when the re-
port that six additional liquor-laden
vessels had left the Bahamas for
American waters and that three
schooners believed to be the advance
guard of a spring rum fleet from st.
Pierre, Miquelon, had dropped anch-
or off the Rhode Island coast.
The newly appointed zone enforce
ment officer wrung his hands when
the news was conveyed to him and
said there was nothing he could do
about it as his navy was not big
enough to cope with the situation.

CARL J~OHANASSON
Editor of the Enterprise:

Editor of the Enterprise:
When you come back from a trip
to Powell, Chicago or California you
are asked how things are in this and
that town.
After getting back once more to
Gods Country and crawled under a
Stetson, ! meet friends who like to
hear of conditions in Sweden. l
would say that the three principle
things asked about are labor, travel
and prohibition.
Strikes and lockouts existed in the
northern part of Sweden when we
were there-labor being strongly or
ganized-but we heard every thing
was settled before we left that
country.
In the Northern part, timber being
the principle industry, there were
sawmills and pa%perfactories every
where.
As the American Minister to that
country said, Everywhere ! saw, /
saw nothing but saws" That country
has been numbering for years and will
cut timber for many years to come,
for the timber there is not allowed
to be slaughtered.
Young trees ire preserved and lots
of trees planted every year, Sweden
has mountains of iron ore, running
a high percent, much being shipped

ORGANIZED

Last Thursday evening fairly large
attendance answered the call for a
meeting in the Masonic Reading Room
to get county league baseball under
way for this season.
An organization was effected with
L. S.Birely, president; VIM. ]. Stoner
manager; Harry Ruch, secretary, and
S. r. Damuth, treasurer.
Short addresses were made by C.. E.
Eichelberger, Roger Geisbert, DR.. H.
C. Anders, John Root, L. r. Waesche
and the manager.
The team for this year gives prom
Use of a more successful season than
that of last year.
Several innovations were mentioned
and will likely be seriously considered
by the organization. One of these
will be the employment of comfort
able machine to convey the entire
team to the field when playing away
from home.
Another was the matter of a grand
stand. Not having heard any argu-
ment either for or against the idea
we believe that the thing to do now is
to provide good, strong, permanent
seats for the patrons of the game
make no charge for their use, and a
larger attendance will be the result
We also believe that a continuance OF
the old method of passing the hat
will yield larger income to the team
than Charge to get in" method.
Last year at one of the games away
from home we paid 25 cents for stand
ing room in the field, and 10 cents ex.
ira to sit in the grandstand. A heavy
mist was falling and the seats were
damp. So straw mats were provided
at second extra charge of cents
and three-fourths of the attendance al
that game was made up of Thurmont
rooters.
1t is noticeable fact that the teams
in the county league who charge ad.
mission to the game do not have q
large, home attendance. Besides this
it is psychological fact that the larg.
er the home attendance the better are
the chances for the home team win
ming the game.

BENTLEY NOT SO GOOD

To date Jack Bentley, former Bal

poor showing in the big leagues. He
has started in two games for the
Giants, once against the Phillies and
once against the Boston Braves. He
was knocked out of the box in both
games. And the Giants are the leld
ing team of tho National League.
Now sport writer's are predicting that
Be ltley will return to minor leagues
before the close of the season.
Bentley is a grandson of Rev. Davis
who was pastor of the Thurmont M. E
Church in the sos.
