OFFICERS UNCOVER
MASH and STILL

Sheriff Winters and federal prohibi-
tion officers Wednesday afternoon
made another catch, this time in the
Cattle creek country where, on the
Trimble or Sommers ranch, they uncov-
cred copper still and nearly 100 gal
Ions of corn meal mash, cleverly se-
creted under a manure pile.
The cache was on the ranch occupied
and farmed by Ebert E. Cantrell, who
told the officers to make as thorough
a search as they pleased, but assuring
them at the same time that they would
find nothing. After making pretty
thorough investigation the officers
were about to give up the search, when
one CT them, while probing the manure
p ,e with a rod, struck wooden plat
form about two feet under the sur
face. This proved to be the top to
an excavation of considerable size, in
which was found two barrels of grain
mash. Similar probing nearby this
point revealed another excavation in
which was found the copper still.
After they had destroyed the mash,
except sample for use as evidence,
the officers brought Cantrell and his
still to Glenwood where the accused
was arraigned before Judge Bell of the
county court and given his freedom
under a $500 bond to appear for trial
next Tuesday at 10 o'clock.

DIVIDE CREEK
WATER 1ANGLE

AS usual, DIR. w. G. Lockard and his
neighbors are in a scrap over irriga-
tion water, the matter assuming such
proportions that Lockard recently filed
criminal complaint against four Of
his neighbors, F. W. Harris, Afva Har-
ris, w. J. Smart and Andy Patch,
charging them with raising headgates
and appropriating water unlawfully.
Warrants were issued from Justice
Geo. w. Pearson s court in New Castle,
but in order to secure little extra
time in which to prepare for trial the
defendants demanded and secured a
change of venue to Justice G. NJ.
Wible's court at Silt, and the first
case, that against Alva Harris was
heard last Saturday.
The defendant was charged with
wilfully and feloniously raising and
opening the headgate of the Smart
Somers lateral, an extension Of the
Multa Trina ditch from Divide creek.
Carl Fulghum of this city represented
the district attorney in the prosecu-
tion of the case, and G. W. Taylor ap-
peared for the defendant. A jury was
demanded and several witnesses were
examined on both sides.
The case brought out the fact that
there had been considerable trouble in
the past over the rights of the parties
in this ditch. At late hour the jury
brought in verdict of not guilty.
On Monday was heard the case of
the people against F. w. Harris, one
of the original owners and builders Of
the Multa Trina and the Smart ditch
The same charge was brought against
Mr.. Harris as had been lodged against
his son and on which charge the lat.
ter had been acquitted on Saturday.
This was also a jury case, and when
the case had been heard and the law.
yers had presented their argument, the
jury retired to deliberate very briefly
and very soon returned verdict of
"not guilty." the spectators who lis
tened to the testimony all agreeing
that the witnesses on the part Of the
prosecution had failed to make out a
case against the defendant.
A motion was then made by counsel
for a change in venue to another court
for the remaining two cases, but thi.
was denied and then a motion was
made for continuance of ten days
on the claim of DR.. Lockard that he
would be otherwise engaged for few
days. This motion was also denied
and DR.. Lockard and his counsel walked
out of the court room and Justice Wi
| BILE then dismissed the cases against
Smart and Patch. What the further
outcome of the matter will be is al
present subject of speculation.

BABY SWALLOWS
Open SAFETY PIN

Roy L. Miller, two and half year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Burley E.
Miller of Cattle creek, swallowed an
open safety pin Wednesday morning
while playing. He was brought to the
Glenwood sanitarium at once and X
ray pictures taken and the pin was
seen near the ribs on the left side.
The child was then operated, but no
trace of the pin could be found. After
the operation other pictures were taken
showing the pin little above the
place where it was in the first pic
lures.
The little fellow is resting easily at
tliis writing and more pictures will he
taken and he will be watched closely
to determine if another operation is
necessary.

eompers on Socialism

State socialism is repugnant to the
American mind for a great many
reasons. Americans generally prefer
to carve out the future In freedom.
They are unwilling to accept the idea
of an all-powerful state. 1t is tho
American idea that the people shall
order the state and shape Its course:
not that the state shall order the lives
Of the people. fitting them into inches

Alley Dwellers.

At a meeting Of the board of man.
ayers Of the Associated Charities ap-
proval was given to the plan to extend
the time limit set by Congress for
closing alley dwellings. Practically
everybody in the District understands
that the time is not favorable for
turning from 1000 to 5000 persons out
of their quarters, even though those
quarters are in the alleys. Next June
is the time now set by law for closing
alley dwellings. There is no sentiment
in the District favorable to the alley
dwelling as a permanent institution.
The law prohibiting the use Of alley
houses as dwellings was enacted In re-
sponse to public opinion here. The
war, congestion Of population and the
housing shortage have made it almost
necessary that the alley dwelling
should be tolerated while longer, or
until the housing situation clears UP.
The alley dweIlers would suffer great.
or hardship than Is now their lot.
Those who would be fortunate enough
to find accommodations elsewhere

Parking.

1t is announced that the District
cided to approve the proposed new
building regulation permitting room
for the storage Of automobiles under
office buildings and similar large
structures" The news is that "A
regulation covering these basement
parking places will be written into the
new building code, now in process Of
revision
Something of significance may be
read into this. VIII it become the GUS
tom that office buildings will furnish
day, storage at a reasonable price for
the cars of their tenants? Will Office
buildings have auto-storage space in
the basement or the Easements, or in
they give up one floor to the day
storage of autos? Or is this the begin
ming of the time when there will be
great structures, public or private, for
car checking and car storage by day?
Reason points out that some such de-
velopment must come.
An end must come to allday parking
in the streets. So many car owners
are finding difficulty in getting park
ing space in the streets that sentiment
against all-day parking is rising, and
as the number Of cars increases that
sentiment will become stronger. Peo-
pie are finding increased difficulty in
transacting business downtown"
while using an auto. 1t becomes harder
and harder TO find a stopping place
where the car may be left while the
owner makes short visit to an office
or a store.
If the car owner has a chauffeur the
question is not so perplexing, because
the car can be kept moving and can
be brought back to pick up the owner.
but relatively few car owners have
chauffeurs. Difficulties of traffic are
multiplying for drivers and walkers,
and the time must come when all-day
parking in any street will not be al
lowed

The Electoral Appendix.

Senator Norris. author of the con-
stitutional amendment that has just
gone through the Senate with unpre-
cedented approval and expedition to
effect a change in the dates Of con-
gressional assemblage and presidential
Inauguration, now comes forward with
q proposal to eliminate the useless
electoral college. This institution, he
declares, "has no more excuse for its
existence in democratic form Of gov
ernment than has the appendix in the
human body
Everybody knows that the electoral
college ceased to be veritabIe func-
tion in our political affairs more than
a century ago. 1t lasted, indeed, but a
little while as an Independent factor of
selection. From time to time protests
have been made against its continu-
ance, but they have not availed be-
cause, although merely a rejecting
body, the electoral college is not in
any manner or degree harmful or dan
gerous. 1t is simply the recording
agency whereby the votes Of the peo-
pie cast in November are translated
into terms Of preference.
Objection to the electoral college is
therefore rather an academic than a
practical matter. There are those who
would like to see it swept away as
useless lumber. And others feel that it
is somewhat Of a monument Of the
past. and, furthermore, that there may
be risk in changing the laws lest q
Jesl menace develop. In other words,
Evening star., 1923-02-16

SO long as the electoral college does no
harm to anybody and serves faithfully
as register Of the peoples will, why
not let it remain?
Senator Norris takes the former OF
these views. He does not propose a
constitutional amendment to eliminate
the appendix" The electoral college,
the states, under that paragraph Of
the Constitution CLAUSE 2, Section
/. Article ID which provides that
Each state shall appoint. in such
manner as the legislature thereof may
direct. a number of electors. equal to
the whole number OF senators and
representatives to which the state may
be entitled i'm Congpess."
Let the legislatures, urges Senator
Norris, change their laws to provide
that after the general election it shall
be the duty of the governor, to appoint
presidential electors. who will pledge
themselves to vote for the candidates
who have received the highest number
of votes.
What would such a body. however,
be other than an electoral college?
How would it differ from the present?
The fidelity of it's members to their
pledges would be no more assured
than is that OF the electors of today
to their unspoken oaths to cast their
votes only for the nominees of their
parties, voted for at the polls.
If the electoral college is to be elm
mated Il definite system of direct vot-
ing for party nominees or independent
candidates should be devised. uniform
in all the states, so that the people can
cast their ballots for the individuals
they prefer for the presidential Offices.
even as they now cast them for those
they prefer as senators and representa-
tiyes. If the electoral college is SO
fully useless as it appears now TO be
and is to be eliminated. let us go the
whole way and get right down to di-
rect voting.
