WASHINGTON WET?
 50 PLUNkETT SAYS
Coolidge Immediately Orders h.
 VeStigati0n to See

Washington, March 12.-Prohibi. tion Commissioner Haynes has been directed by President Coolidge to in, yestigate charges of Rear Admiral Charles P. PluRkett, commandant Of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, that Wash ington was the wettcst city in the United States"
 Commissioner Haynes was called to the White House and his attention di- rected to published statements by Ad- miral Plunkett at police trial Mon day in New York and asked to ascer- tain from the naval officer the basis of his information with view to scribed.
 The Prohibition Commissioner de- nied after his call that his visit relat- cd to Admiral Plunkett's charges. Later White House officials said he had been called to the White House for that purpose and directed to make an investigation.
 The Brooklyn navy yard command ant was reported in press dispatches published here as having testified that Washington was ''the wettest city in the United States" and that if "all the lawyers and all tho judges in the country were to give up their entire time for q year and devote it to checking the sale of liquor they would not make q dent in prohibition
 The admiral's testimony was called to the attention of President Coolidge and h. directed steps to be taken first to ascertain if the naval officer had been correctly quoted and if so that an investigation be made to ascertain the reasons for the alleged lax ou- the capital.
 The investigation directed comes as another chapter in controversy which has been going on for several months surrounding the enforcement of prohibition in Washington. Charges and counter charges have been made, complaints against prohibition en- forcement officers have been filed by inc Washington police, and the matter was brought sharply to the attention of federal officials by the shooting last month of Senator Greene of Yer mont in a pistol battle between sus- petced bootleggers and prohibition agents on Pennsylvania avenue with in n few blocks of the capitol.
 Since that time Commissioners Haynes has been absent from Wash ington, returning few days ago.

MEXICAN REBELS
 BEING DISPERSED Bands Being Broken Up Into
 Little Outlaw Groups
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Tuxpam. March 12.-Final dispersal of the revolutionary forces in Vera Cruz state into small bands of raiders has brought Mexico's most correct revolt to its second, and in sense most serious stage. Hitherto order has been maintained in a marked de- gree footing was promptly punished and private citizens, as a rule were not molested.
 Reports from outlying points indi- cate change in procedure. Small bands Of irregulars have appeared at many points. scizing property without the formality of giving receipts at least one passenger train has been stopped and the passengers robbed, and residents in the rural district have been frightened by reports of raids and pillage.
 While some property, such as mer- chandise and commissary stores were seized by the rebel forces during their stay in the oil region immediately 10 the north of Tuxpam receipts were always given and the revolutionary commanders. Gen. Jose Moran. An tonic Fillareal and others made every effort to protect property. Oil com pany representatives here were per mitted safe conduct to Tampico when their business called them there, and while oil pumping and production were stopped over certain periods there was no damage to tanks, sta tions or pipe lines.
 Great fear is felt here. however, now that the revolutionary forces have been dispersed and are operating without responsible leaders that some property destruction will result and that the lives of persons in the district especially foreigners may be endan- gered. Strong garrisons of federal troops have been stationed at Cerro Azul, Casiana and other strategic points in the oil country to guard against possible raids.
 Tn the central section of Vera Cruz state, small bands have infested the district in the neighborhood of tho railways and fear is felt that here too their activities may result in property damage. On one sugar plantation near Motzorongo leaderless band appear ed and carried away nearly every thing movable. Mexican railway train wAs stopped at Soledad and the pas sengers robbed. Recently n small par fy of raiders appeared within few miles of Vera Cruz itself and drove away several hundred persons. State troops are being armed and drilled 10 protect the outlying districts.

Backbone is Needed

Here is little straight from the
shoulder talk about matters lying near
our heart. There seems to be feel
ing among some newspaper men that
a newspaper has no business to make
money. Why not? 1t is the most exact
ing business in the world, the most
trying in every way. 1t means lon.-
hours and the greatest care in its
conduct.
The newspaper has the entire pub
lie to deal with. 1t is criticised on all
occasions. 1t has to deal with all the
cranks of the community, and to do
this successfully requiress judgment
and patience. 1t has power, and that
power, to the credit of journalism, is
nearly always welded for public
good. No question of vital interest to
the home people fails to find strong
support from the home newspaper,
and this, too, without remuneration.
The publisher spends his money to
further these projects and the COM
munity never gives a thought to the
matter of cost to him. 1t is not paid
out of the public pocket.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1924-11-26

Every town needs a good newspaper
and the way to have it is to make the
business profitable. The newspaper
wants every concern to prosper. Why
should not this good will be returned?
