PROHIBITION AGENTS
ARE MOSTLY CROOKS
So Says Judge Joseph B. David,
Militant Jurist, of Chicago
Other Startling Statements

Chicago.-The prohibition law as it
stands today is a joke.
Not a startling statement when
made by a layman, but coming from
a judges bench it is a sensational ac-
cusation.
Judge Joseph B. David. militant
jurist, Chicago, made the statement
in an official manner, in comment on
cases brought before him for trial,
according to a report sent out by the
Newspaper Enterprise Association,
and published in the Sheridan Post
Enterprise.
The judge does not favor letting
booze violators go. What he wants is
a prohibition law with teeth or no law
at all.
His habit of freeing petty dry law
violators brought before him is caus-
ing a mighty stir in prohibition and
temperance circles.
Almost daily, Volsteadism ZONES in
for a few slaps in Judge David's
court.
From the bench comes denounce-
ment of the eighteenth amendment,
city policemen. federal dry sleuths and
prescription filling physicians.
Time and again the jurist's ire is
aroused over Mayor E. beavers prac-
tice revoking licenses of soft drink
parlor operators.
Mandamus orders compelling the
mayor to restore licenses, habeas cor
pus writs releasing men charged with
breaking the law and threats of CON
tempt proceedings against policemen
who carry out the mayors orders,
have earned for Judge David the UNI
official title Of "the battling %jurist."
prohibition agents are mostly
crooks" he says.
Other slaps are:
"The police are making use of the
eighteenth amendment to invade the
privacy Of citizens homes.
"The manncr in which whiskey Is
issued on physicians prescriptions is
n disgrace to the medical profession.
"A popular vote would repeal the
eighteenth amendment.
High officials, sworn not only to
respect the law, but to enforce it,
, 1925-06-24

drink and invite others to drink their
whiskey.
"Never has there been such disre-
spect for law and for law enforcement
bodies since the citizens were told
they must not drink liquor.
young people, boys and girls, are
now heavy drinkers-they find delight
in hooking their elders and the law.
prohibition has not lowered the
death rate from alcoholism-it has
boosted it skyward with the advent of
poisonous moonshine.
of the people really wanted a dry
law, Congress could easily put teeth
in it by passing a few more amend
ments."
The situation has resolved itself in
to a lively war with Judge David on
one side, and the police, states attor-
ney and certain judges of lower courts
aligned on the other.
Every now and then the battling
~jurist" orders released on a habeas
corpus writ some mar arrested for
having a still in his home.
Sometimes the lower court judge
who ordered the man to Jail defies
Judge David and instructs the police
to re-arrest the man. AS soon as
Judge David hears about it he turns
the man loose again, with judicial
hints that those responsible for his
incarceration may find themselves be-
hind the bars for tampering with his
authority.
"A man has as much right to have
a still in his house as he has to have
a paper knife on his desk" Judge Da-
vid declared on one occasion.
"A poor man found with a couple
of drinks is dragged into court, while
the millionaire bootlegger goes free.
"What an astounding state of af-
fairs is this!"

WORLDS DEEPEST WELL
is NOW GOING DEEPER
AND REFINERS
CORPORATION r E
AT 1900 FEET

The worlds deepest oil well is 60
ing strong at 1900 feet on the Simp-
son Ridge anticline, a few miles south
and east Of Laramie, Wyoming, and
the Producers and Refineries corpor-
alton has the distinction of having
gone farther toward the center of the
earth than any other organization en-
gagged in developing the natural re-
sources of any country. Not to ex-
ced one year in actual drilling time
has been expended in drilling this hole
after excluding shutdowns for winter.
This record-breaking hole is not be-
ing drilled for curiosity's sake, but
in the belief that if the Dakota sand
is reached, an enormous producer will
be brought in. AS long as there is
the faintest hope, and barring serious
accidents, the operation will be con-
tinued.
The deepest well heretofore drilled
is the Golf well in West Virginia,
which was an effort IN the part of a
group of oil companies to define the
various formations in that state. This
well penetrated the rocks of several
geological periods to a depth of 7,100
feet, when it was abandoned. The
deepest well in California where
5,000-foot holes are common, is one
well in the Rosecrans field which was
carried to a depth of $3.50 feet. The
next deepest well to the Producers &
Refiners' operation at Simpson Ridge,
in the Rocky Mountain States, is that
of A. A. Rollestone near Longmont,
which is shut down at $500 feet,
awaiting the building of a derrick to
replace one recently destroyed by fire.
The new derrick is higher than the
old one, indicating that Rollestone is
determined to continue the hole as
far as feasible. This well was drilled
by electricity.
At Simpson Ridge, the Producers
& Refners corporation has a large ar
ca in which production is found at
600 feet. There are five wells, most
of them averaging thirty barrels a
day, and two small machines are to
be kept busy this summer drilling new
holes. The discovery well, now three
years old, has been pumping eighteen
barrels a day for the last year, and
prior to that time made ar average of
better than twenty-five barrels daily.
The oil is of a high grade and, as a
well can be finished in two weeks, the
probabilities are that the field will be
a factor in the industry before the
summer is over.

"Little Kid" Made
Up Before Folks

MY goodness, Will you see that
little kid making up!!"
Such was the exclamation from a
mature looking woman who was
standing in front of one of the big
display windows of the D. w. Adams
Co., Friday afternoon.
And there really was little kid
making up. AS a matter of fact.
there were two of 'em, the Misses
Edna and Dorothy Wright, daugh-
ters of B. B. Wright, New England
representative of the Melba Manu-
featuring Co.
Edna is II years old and Dorothy
Is s, but they certainly know toilet
goods. Their particular business in
the Adams store Friday was to dem
onstrate the Melba products and
their little stunt of making up"
was designed to show how easily 1t
is to put on the bloom of youth.
Attired In the prevailing popular
purple, the Misses Wright seemed to
be having barrel of fun in their
demonstration. Their dad is with
them constantly and he is naturally
proud of their ability. They are
clever little dancers, too. but. un-
fortunately, no opportunity was CIV
en- for the display Of their terp-
sichorean ability.
