Do You Wonder Why?

Readers may wonder why the Enterprise devotes so much space
to the trial OF the case of the State against a. Strand, and in explain
alton it should be said tina. the reprehensible nature OF this case, the
half of which has not been told in the Enterprise, should convince
the public that it would be better to spend the millions of dollars
for the purpose of ferreting out and furnishing such offenders, and
preventing such crimes, than for the enforcement of the asinine
Eighteenth Amendment, which never can be enforced, and which is
Haunted in the face of its sponsors more darngly every day. 1t is
deporable that such ability as that possessed by Attorneys Greever
and Rankin should be called upon to aid in the defense of degenerates
like Strand. These attorneys have made the best possible defense
and if the case is lost by them, the loss will not detract from their
reputable standing as attorneys.

Subscribed in my presence and

ORILLA DOWNING,
Clerk of the District Court.
The letter of Judge Burgess is as
follows:
Sheridan. Wyo., Jan. 10, 1925.
Mr.. Joseph E. McElvain,
County and Prosecuting Attorney,
Cody, Wyoming.
My Dear Sir:
l have your letter ofsJanuary 7th
in which you state that at the request
of the Board of Couny Commissioners
of Park County you would like a
statement from me, if / saw fit to
give one, regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
trying the case of the State of Wyo-
ming VS.. Simpson. You say that if
there is not a very good and reason
able chance of conviction the County
Commissioners are inclined to a dis
missal.
Unless the evidence at a second
trial were different from what it was
at the first trial I am frank to say
that, in judgment, there would be
no conviction of Mr.. Simpson. This
case was very well tried by Mr.. Cop
pert; he presented the evidence in the
very best possible way and made a
splendid argument to the jury. l
do not believe that the case could be
presented to a second jury in a light
more favorable to the state than it
was at this first trial. When the case
went to the jury l felt there would be
a verdict of acquittal, and had it not
been for two or three men on the jury
who seemed to take a rather unsual
view of the case the verdict would
have been acquittal. I felt sure in
own mind that you will never be
able to secure a conviction in this
case, and it impresses me that you
would be needlessly expending the
county's money in further prosecuting
it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES H. BURGESS.

Here Folks, Digest This!

Billings bread is retailing here for IS cents per loaf, and bread
made in town is selling for Is cents per loaf. Simple arithmetic
tells the consumer that he must pay twenty per cent more for bread
shipped in from Montana than he must pay for the home-manufac-
tured loaf. And, simple discrimination and taste also tell the con-
sumner that the bread made right here in Cody is better than the
bread shipped in from Billings. Nevertheless, there is a great deal
OF outside bread sold here. Don't superiority and home LOYALTY
stand for anything? If they do, then the homemade bread is the
bread to buy and eat. This is homemade philosophy, but it is sound
philosophy, and bread-eaters, and cake-eaters, and all other consum-
ers OF products made locally are asked. to think it over and digest it.
1t will be easier to digest than some of the Billings bread that finds
its way into Cody.

The Moonshine Situation

On January 10, 1925, we had passed the fifth year of Prohibition
and the Nolstead Act. The professional prohlbnionists promised
us all sorts of improvements in the moral calbre of our people, the
great financial savings and every known and fancied panacea for
the ills caused by the sale OF pure liquors.
Government officials promised us strict enforcement and pledg-
ed solemn oaths to uphold the law. What has fouowed-Our public
debt has risen from S+,S5o6260o0 before Prohibition to. over $780,,
OOOOWo. Enormous amounts were spent yearly for law enforce
ment and every one but those who are benefiting by this govern
mental extravaganza knows that the law is crooked and cannot be
enforced.
Senator Couzens in his investigation has shown that the Treas
uy Department settled claims against big violators OF the Prohibi-
the Government. In the Fleischmaun case, the name of Hon. VIM.
Hayward, L. 5. District Attorney, was dragged in as being OF as
sistance in the adjustmen OF the fine to be paid.
Report has it that even the Asst. U. S. Attorney General has
allowed adjustments to be made favorable to confessed violators,
and so on down and up the line.
There never was such a law on our statute books which has been
has been so flagrandy violated. 1t must be understood that officials
who connive at the breaking OF the law do so only for political ex-
pediency and not for the money.
When the U. s. Government adopted Prohibition it turned the
liquor traffic over from the former law abiding manufacturer and
taxpayer to politicians who do not care who makes the liquor or
sells it as long as they will be protected.
The illicit traffic has seeped into the school room, reports
all the way from Newark, N. ], to Boise, Idaho, from Grand Rapids,
Mich, TO Kansas City, No. chronicing pranks of schools boys with
illicit liquor.
Drinking of bad liquor is gaining, crime is gaining and we are
the laughing stock Of all the civilized nations.
Newspapers are beginning to tell the truth about Prohibition
and the real honest Prohibitionht hides his head in shame and is
afraid to display the white ribbon OF the Temperance Union.
The Anti-Saloon League is afraid to bring the matter to a fair
test and seek shelter for its quackery behind the fake industrial
alcohol Withdrawals, sacramental wine with $4,000 rabbis in Chi
cago) and whiskey every ten days at fake drug stores.
The A. S. l. is losing its sponsors and donors who are becoming
enlightened to the fact that the League is a money-getting propo-
sition.
Moderation Societies are gaining in number and strength and
viii soon expose the Congressman who do not vote as they drink. .
And SO we enter the sixth year of Prohibidon-Exehange.

MILTON TAKES RACE:
MAY GET AUTO MARK

CULVER CITY, Calf, March "A
battle of split seconds and three point
decimals early today was the after
math of the 250-mile automobile race
which Tommy Milton won here yes

seconds
Millions victory was not contested,
but argument ragged between officials
as to whether he had or had not
broken the world record set by Ben
nett Hill on the same track last De-
cember.
According to William r. Ruess,
who clocked the cars with the off,
cial timing device, there may be some
slight revision OF Milton time, but
there is no likelihood Of such revi-
sion showing that a world record was
broken.
On the other hand, Harold Weller
of the American Automobile Associa-
tion contest board, said that a re-
check of both Millions time and the
time made by Bennett Hill in his
record-breaking December race will
show Milton was slightly faster yes
terday than Hill was last December
