Big Surplus Above Expenses Given
to School Fund

The sum Of $20.5Sl07 goes into the
School Fund of-Lake county as a surplus
from fines and penalties collected chiefly
from bootleegers after all Office and en-
forcement expenses have been paid This
is the record made by State Attorney
A. V. Smith, of Lake county one OF the
most aggressive enforcement officials i'll
Illinois. According 10 local press re-
port, based on a statement from the
county treasurer's office. the above amount
is turned over from Col Smiths Office
after he has paid his salary, his Office sal
aries, that OF regular assistant and halt
a score OF part time assistants, private
detectives. and the sponge squad.
Previous to his regime the office was
far from a self-sustaining one. and money
had to be appropriated for operating ex-
penses. The reverse is true now, and
worthy department of public support, the
schools. receives the yearly profit OF
$50, 5sl
The sponge squad has been the big
source of revenue. as the many raids have
resulted in fines ranging from 500 to $500
in liquor violations and from S. up in the
misdemeanors.

BEER THROUGH SECRET DOOR
Rising Sun Brewery Has Shipped
Real Beer For Nine Months,
Says Former Official

For many months the Philadelphia city
police and the federal prohibition agents
have been keeping watch on the Rising
Sun Brewing Company. For nine months
that company is alleged to have shipped
hundreds of barrels of real beer every day.
In October of last year the company was
fined a thousand dollars for violating the
law.
Now comes forward Otto Franck.
former secretary and treasurer, who tells
the story of what has been going on Since
that time. Franck has made affidavit to
all the information he has given and will
not ask exemption from prosecution for
himself personally. He says that as much
as 800 barrels of high-power beer was
shipped out a day. He gives a vivid de-
scription of how the beer was gotten out
while the place was being watched by
prohibition agents.
There is secret door on the side OF the
brewery This door was made of bricks
and could be automatically lifted and re-
turned to its place. The beer was first
lifted in trucks and shipped through this
hole in the wall into an empty garage
There were two or three other garages
in the immediate vicinity and the beer
would be moved from one to another I'M
til it was finally loaded into a movng-van
i'll warehouse. The moving-van then
delivered it TO various saloonkeepers and
other purchasers in the city. When the
proprietors OF the brewery were finally
caught they are charged with having of
fered large brides to escape court action.
In his affidavit Franck states that the
brewery employed 13 to 20 men and had
a weekly payroll of between $500 and
$780,
The proprietors of the Rising Sun brew
cry constitute a very fair sample of the
men who are engaged generally in the
brewing business in Pennsylvania and in
some other states. If this country has
ever produced any class of men more law
less than the brewers their identity has
yet to be learned Yet in the face of such
evidence as presented by the Franck af-
fdavit, some presumably well-meaning
people arc advocating licensing these law
breakers in the interest of prohibition law
enforcement.

the valuation for construction in those
states at $529OO00O0. says the Chicago
Tribune of August 49,
Another evidence that the wet calamity
howlers prophecy that prohibition would
pauperize the United States was a poor
guess.

BILLIONS IN THE HOLE

When one is in debt or has suffer- ed a loss it is a common expression to say that he is "in the hole" to that extent. The oil industry is de- clared to be literally as we'll as fig uratively in the hole about four and a half billion dollars.
 In plainer terms, it is stated on the authority of the American Re- search Foundation that since the be- ginning of the oil industry in 1859 twelve billion dollars have been spent in drilling wells, while only seven and a half billion dollars worth of oil has been brought to the surface.
 During the last few years dry holes have cost operators an aver age of about $9O,0O0,0OO a year.
 Of course, many people have be- come wealthy through successful oil production and these are the ones the public hears about most. The trem- endOus losses of the unlucky ones are seldom recorded in print The bringing in of a big gusher is news, while the completion of dry hole is merely an incident in the life of the unfortunate prospector.

THE SPECIAL EDITION

The second section of the big Gate way Prosperity edition is off the press and the edition now promises to reach 52 pages A number of fine articles have been contributed the past week and are being placed in type. The first consignment of cuts reached us on one of the last boats, and they will add greatly to the attractiveness of the edition. After today no more cuts will be contracted for, as time will not permit of their being sent to Se- attle and returned in time for the is- sue. Being shorthanded, and having our job department crowded with work from up the railroad, it is caus- ing strenuous times around the Gate way office, our faithful force putting every waking hour on the issue.
 The Gateway has been fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. Grays, who under the pen name of Laddie Kyle is we'll known in the newspaper offices of Chicago and Milwaukee. Miss Kyle is rewriting number of arti- cles for the Gateway, and will also contribute several original articles, in- cluding the impressions Seward gives a cheechaco. She is in the front ranks as a magazine illustrator, her cly hai,oo nnhJichoI hx hn Roycroft Magazine and other promi- nent publications in the East. Miss Kyle will be in Seward for a few weeks longer, securing local color for a book she is writing She has vol ume of very fine pen drawings for the book, many of which are around Sew ard. During her leisure moments she has promised to help write for the Prosperity Edition.
 Several other prominent contribu tors will be found in the columns of the Prosperity Edition. In fact, some of the greatest men of the Territory and nation are contributors. In a let ter received on the last boat from the Presidents Secretary, he stated that it was matter of regret that the President could not contribute a re- Quested article on Alaska, but that he was treating on the subject in his an nual message to Congress, which was a national affair, and therefore could not be used in the Seward edition pre- vious to it's being given to the press
 With the hundreds of new cuts be- ing received, the Prosperity Edition will be we'll worth the 25 cents charg- ed for it. It will be the biggest thing ever issued in the Territory and will give Seward a boost in the newspa- per world as one of the besta advertis- ing sections in Alaska.

 ''The greatest tragedy in connec- tion with the modern hobo is the neglected and under-nourished chil- dren who are compelled to follow. They have no opportunity for school ing and their health is in most in- stances impaired by unnecessary ex- posture and lack of wholesome food. The compulsory school law does not affect the 'flivver hobo because they are never stationary and are not reg istered in any city.
 There seems to be no cure for the evil. When they apply for aid we must help the children CT the mothers who are ill or in need of food. This has been done on numer- ous occasions but in each instance we have refused to buy gasoline and oil or to give money. This would

 ASTORIA, Ore, Nov. If. (P)-The gasoline gypsy, itinerary worker and auto tramp are finding the way hard and small town suckers few and far between in Oregon as result of ac- tivities of social workers. Miss Ma rian Bowen of the local Red Cross recently reported this condition.
 A meeting of social workers was held in Portland in June and a cen tral clearing house was established there, where reports on this class of people are gathered from social workers turnout Oregon and are giv- en statewide publicity.
 Miss Bowen said many applicants for help would fade away from the auto camp when directed where to find work.

SHIPPING BOARD 100000

Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy under President Wilson, at- tributes the continued turmoil which has marked the history of the United States Shipping Board to the fact that it was created as a separate agency, having no connection with any cabinet official.
 The original bill providing for it's establishment would have made the Secretary of the Navy chairman of the board, which would have thus become part of the administration and subject to control by the Pres ident. This plan was not approved by Congress and COTS tant dissensions have been the natural result, accord ing to Mr. Daniels.
 First, Chairman Denman and Colonel Goethals disagreed and President Wilson asked both to re-

AUTOMOBILE HODGES
 PRESENT NEW SOCIAL.
 PROBLEM IN COUNTRY

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 14. (P) The Weary Willie" unique fig ure in American life decade or more ago, is rapidly vanishing from the landscape and is being replaced by product of the age of the auto- mobile-the "flivver hobo"-or rather hoboes, for the new type seldom travels alone, according to officials of Little Rock social agencies.
 The "flivver ,hoboes" are always without money and in most instances accompanied by large families. They enter city from unknown places and with unknown destinations and apply to community funds and social agencies for aid, sickness being the most common plea.
 The usual requests are for money, gasoline and oil or for repairs to their automobiles, officials say. They usually claim that they left home because of labor conditions and are going to some distant place to seek employment, asking aid in getting to their destinations.
 Proposals to aid them by selling the automobile are always rejected by the tourists" records of Little Rock agencies show. Out of a large number of stranded tourists" who have applied for aid here not one would consider parting with the auto mobile Tickets to their homes or to the stated destination are also not desired.
 Most of the 'flivver tourists that apply for aid are frauds and we do not propose to give them money or gasoline so as to pass them on to some other city," says c. H. Wickard, of the Little Rock Social Service Ex- change.
 "The Social Service Exchange will aid distressed tourists and will furn- ish them food and buy medicines when there is sickness, but will not encourage fraud by purchasing gaso- line or paying for repairs.
 "The 'flivver hobo is a serious problem that is nationwide in it's scope. These nomads, who are mod ern tramps, wander aimlessly about

sign. Then Chairman Hurley and Admiral Harris locked horns and eventually both got out. Chairman Lasker and his associates had their full share of troubles and were gen. orally under fire. The present board has violently clashed with President Coolidge and has defied him by fir ing Admiral Palmer from the presi- dency of the emergency fleet cor poration. Thompson has resigned and Heney refuses to resign at the Presidents request.
 All of which appears to indicate that business men and admirals do not work we'll when harnessed to- gether. May the Shipping Boards hoodoo be exercised only by abolish ing the board itself?

THIS IS NOT REAL ECONOMY.

Alaska frequently has been called Uncle Sam's stepchild." The prOpO- sal to curtail mail service to the ter ritory recalls the bitter remark to memory and gives it new point.
 Under the dead hand of bureaucracy the Northland has been hampered for years. Yet men of vision and of en- terprise, true pioneers, continue to do all they can toward the development of Alaska within the bounds laid down by narrow conservation" policy and the natural difficulties encountered in new land.
 Now, it is proposed, 'in the inter- est of economy" to ship the mail to Alaska by freight instead of under mail contract Here, within the bor ders of the United States, every effort is being made to expedite the move ment of correspondence, even to the employment of airplanes. But the clock is to be turned back for Alaska, if this suggestion is made effective, and the service is to be made less, not more, efficient and rapid.
 If there is one obligation devolving upon a rich government such as this, it is the swift transport of mail.
 Wherever the American flag flies, men and women should be assured rapid service It hardly can be clas- sified as anything but shortsighted parsimoniousness.- Seattle Times.

Figures published by the Mexican newspaper Fl Universal show that the money cost of all the numerous rev. olutions fought in Latin-America during the past 100 years is only $41S,0O0,O0O, or about as much as the allies spent every four days dur ing the World War.
