If some one asked me, chin to

Id answer. with CHASTITY grin,
With solemn things they lightly
play. Mans words no longer worth
cent. his promise fades like April
snow; in truth he makes a daily
dent, and sheds smile that this is
so; I'm waiting now to meet a gent
who should have met me hours ago.
The man who strictly keeps his word
is viewed with wonder and amaze
he's thought a rather queer old bird,
relic of pre-glacial days; such
crankiness is most absurd. observe

speak III bitter tones, it is because

pear at o'clock to fix my pump !;
the teamster says he will be here to
haul my dead cats to the dump; the
bother will deliver beer as fast as
his old nags can hump. And 70 one
ever keeps his word: a promise is a
trifle small; to keep engagements is
absurd. there is no sense in that. at
all; with difficulty I'm deferred from
springing lectures in a hall Alas.

on PROHIBITION

Unless witnesses are lying be-
fore the senate committee investi-
eating the acts of Attorney General
Daugherty, responsible govern
lnent employees in Washington have
helped to prohibit prohibition. At
this writing the testimony before
the committee had not directly
linked Mr.. Daugherty with the
whisky deals, but it had made a dl-
rect contact between the transar-
tions and men known to be his
fl lends. 1t also is noteworthy that,
Just as in the case of the fight fllm
transportation, persons Interested
/ in prohibiting either had or
thought they had influence with
higher-ups.
Prohibition has produced Il great
variety of cross purposes When
some energetic, honest and cour'
ageous officials in the government
have been bending every effort To
stop illegal traffic in liquor, others
have been deliberately aiding vio-
lation of the law. Not only in the
present instance is it suspected
that employees OF the government
connived with viOlators, but en-
forcement officers at various places
have accepted hush money from
the booze interests. Congress dat
not know when it enacted the law
that enforcement would be so dffl
cult, that the rewards for dishon
esty would be SO great in thel
possibilities, and that so many per
sons would deliberately undertake
to block enforcement. No wonde
prohibition is not prohibiting as
should.-Foster County Indepen0
