DRY LAW IS BEING
ENFORCED in STATE
fcontinued from first pagel

than there were in the Federal Court
but takes into account only the State
cases which were made by the Fed
eral Agents, or cases in which they
assisted the State officers and does
not include the hundreds Of cases
made by State, County and Municipal
officers, who worked entirely indie
pendent of the Federal officers.
There are at least two good reas-
ons for taking a great many of the
cases to the State Courts. First, it is
nearly always more convenient to set
a State warrant than it is to get a
Federal warrant, for the reason that
we have only one U. S. Commissioner
in the State; second, the State Pro-
hibition Law provides a Jail sentence
for possession or transportation OF IL
licit liquor for a first offense, while
the Federal Law does not, and am
convinced that imprisonment is the
onlv sentence that really has deter
rent effect upon the violators.
"Of all the liquor seized during the
wear, there was not single lot that
was considered by the chemist to De
a fair grade of whiskey, while a great
deal of it was pronounced to be filthy
and dangerous.
"It is shown above that 81 have
plead "guilty" in Federal Court, four
were convicted by jury and not one
acquitted and in the State Courts 8!

one was acquitted. This makes total
of 1873 that hace either plead guilty
or have been convicted, majority Oh
whom we're given Jail sentences some
of them as much as IL months.

JAY KAPE'S VIEWS
ABOUT MILFORD TEAM
MispilliOn Writer Declares Himself in
No Uncertain Language on Base
ball Situation.

In Mondays Wilmington Every EV-
ening there appeared a good take-off
of the Milford base ball situation. The
writer, signing himself "Jay Kape," is
not known; but to those Tall Cedars
who regularly read "The Goat" it
sounds very much like "Pyramidically
yours" The letter as published in the
Every Evening follows:
On-the-Mispillion
Today, this Year.
Sports Editor, Every Evening:
"All is sadness down in Sussex
For mighty Milford has dropped out"
To the average American these two
lines will bring back memories of the
immortal Casey at the bat' and like
the Casey of old, Milford has struck
out. Milford went to bat at the start
of the season and up to few days
ago the count was about even, two
and two, but at this stage of the
game, Umpire Thawley called a bad
decision on Milford and retired the
best ball team in the league on clean
CD force-out by the we'll known rail-
road method.
You and 1 know that Manager Mac
had a classy aggregation OF ball
manipulators, but it remained for the
Eastern Shore League officials to cur
tail that word and dub them class
players. Now, Harris, as man to man,
"Ain't it awful?' When a race horse
is classed his record on the track is
used as classification, but when a ball
player is classed do they class him
according to his record? ask you do
4 ~ Aol
Uncle Sans last census Of the burg
he plays in and if the birth rate has
been large and the death rate low in
that community then, "by heck" that
ball player is a class man and not
eligible to play in the Eastern Shore
League. In other words it takes the
census man and life insurance agent
to figure out in what class a native
son of these free United States is
eligible to indulge in the national
pastime of swatting the pill and chew
ing tobacco.
Laurel Protested
Because she didn't want to play
with the Big Boys. Again I ask you,
Harris, "Ain't it ierce?" The mem |
bers of the Laurel team wear on their
shirt fronts a reproduction of the Blue
Hen, the proud emblem of our noble |
State. Is it right for this chicken
hearted bunch to wear the famed
Fighting Blue Hen which because of
it's gameness was adopted as emblem
atical of our honorod fighters on the
field of battle? This matter should he
investigated by our State Historical
Society.
Salisbury Protested
Here's another team that is mis-
named and I ask you in all fairness
to straighten out these teams and get
their names right. Salisbury is known
as the "White Clouds" and anybody
knows that they should be called the
"White Feathers" cause they've
shown it.
Well, anyway, Harris, our week
kneed brethren have caused the 81
lence of death to settle on Milford
where a few days ago there thrived all
the pep and fire of baseball loving
populace. Now the only thing left to
do is Join the Ladies' Aid, hoping to
see you out to services some night, 1
remain,
Disgustedly yours,
JAY KAPE.
