Riley w. Geary has issued a hand
somely published book of original
verses, collection of 80 poems deal
ing with nature, with experiences dur

eral subjects.

valuable addition to current literature

past year taught English and jour-

during the next year teach English.
For the past year he has been fac
ulty adviser for the Coyote Journal,

zine of Wichita, Kas., and the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal.

Booze cargos captured by Uncle
Sans prohibition agents does not
seem to be destroyed as in the case
of stuff captured by county officials.
1t is sold and the fund, we are told,
goes toward the upkeep of the ma
tional prohib movement. Here is a
decided proof that socalled prohibition
is bound to last long time because
those engaged in the business are ex-
pecting to hold everlasting jobs at
fat salaries. Once Uncle Sam gets
hold of the liquor business, as he
must eventually, to curb it's sale and
the evil influences resulting from
defiance and laxity of law enforce
ment, there may be some improve
ment, but with the tendency of all
political bureaucracies to fortify them
selves in their jobs, none may be
looked for. When Uncle Sammy takes
over the manufacture, sale and dis
tribution as he ought to, then America
may look for real prohibition in dis
tricts where intoxicants are not de-
sired.
