WHEN'S A SCOW A SLED?
When Canadian-Detroit Rum-Run-
ners Find the River Coated With
Six Inches of Ice

The Detroit Free Press, of January 81,
says that rum-runners from Canada re-
sorted to novel but speedy method to
transport liquor across the Detroit river,
which was covered with six inches of ice,
with the exception of only 200 feet of
open water.
Using automobiles, the rum-runners
drove up to the export docks in Canada.
Loading cargoes assigned to Cuba" into
two scoWs, they hitched the scows to the
rear Of a car and zig-zagged across the
ice to the open channel on the American
side.
Here the scows were pushed into the
water and manned by crews, while the
automobiles turned about. hitched on two
empty scoWs and hurried back to the eX-
port docks few minutes after landing
cargoes on the American side the eargoes
were transferred to a truck labeled Fur
niture," DRY Goods" or FLOWERS.
Perhaps the runners were more bold in
their operations because of the resigna-
ton of Sumner C. Sleeper, chief of the
Detroit customs patrol together with
twelve of his men.

IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Liquor Control Fails to Control
Bootleggers in Canadian
Province

According to a special dispatch to the
Christian Science Monitor, carrying Vic
toria, B. c., date line, R. H. Pooley, the
new Attorney General of the Province OF
British Columbia, gave the city of New
Westminster week in which to clean
up" its liquor situation.
Laxity of liquor law enforcement and
the Illegal sale of liquor in that city, Mr..
Pooley said. had become intolerable, and
repeated warnings to the civic authorities
had failed to remedy conditions. Finally
Mr.. Pooley threatened to take over the
policing of the city himself if the city
police did not enforce the law.
Here is further evidence that Column
bias so-called liquor control law has failed
to stop bootlegging.

ADMIT GUILT BUT ACQUITTED
New York Jury Frees Defendants
in Spite of Admitted Guilt and
Courts Charge to Jury

Twelve defendants on trial for con-
spiraey to maintain nuisance in con-
nection with liquor selling at two mid
town speakeaSies, in New York City, we're
acquitted by jury in Federal Court,
January 10. The verdict was in spite of
admissions by a defense counsel that the
premises we're speakeaSies and that one
defendant had both bought and sold
liquor in the conduct of the business. 1t
was also in spite of Judge Macks deela-
ration in his charge to the jury that II
one man hires another expressly to sell
liquor, that act constitutes a conspiracy.
provided liquor is subsequently sold
The New York Times reporting this ap-
parent miscarriage of justice says:
1.-The acquittal was regarded as blow
to the Federal prohibition authorities
and may result in the abandonment OF
about thirty conspiracy indictments still
pending, all of which resulted from the
prohibition activity directly supervised by
Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker
Wilebrandt last year
The acquittal in these cases was the
third failure of the authorities TO obtain
a conspiracy conviction in cases origi-
mating during last years intensive &C
tiVity in Federal officers. In the two pre-
vious cases. the principal defendants were
punished for maintaining a nuisance, but
were acquitted on the conspiracy charge.
A conspiracy is a felony, carrying a maxi
mum Jail sentence of two years. and in
volving the loss of citizenship. Maintain
ing a nuisance is a misdemeanor, carry
ing a relatively light penalty. In the case
tried January 18, the prosecution eiimi-
mated the lesser charge in the hope that
the jury with no alternative between ac-
quittal and conviction on the serious
charge. would find the defendants guilty,
This case in which acquittal was voted
by jury in spite of admission by the
defendants that they were operating
speakeasies and that liquor was sold, and
in spite of the charge by the court that
sales under circumstances constituted
conspiracy emphasizes the great need Of
educational work in the interest of law
enforcement and law observance.
Here was a case where there was no
question of the facts and the law. The
decision by the jury evidently was based
on personal belief that this prohibition
law does not merit observance by the peo-
pie So long as wet newspapers, and so
long as certain prominent men and
women advocate the doctrine that the
prohibition law is in class by itself, that
a mans personal liberty is superior to it,
and that it is not an offense against the
Constitution and the law to violate 1t,
there will be found unthinking people
who not only subscribe to this belief but
put it into practice.

NORTH CAROLINA VOTES DRY
Interesting Comparison of Presiden-
tial Vote in This State of
Solid South
G. A. UPcHURCH,

~ "A OeOdUhCd,
Supt. North Carolina Anti-Saloon Leaeu>
The following report on election results
In North Carolina is printed at this time
because no report from the League super
intendent was available at the time most
of the states reported and ISSUE readers
no doubt will be interested in detailed
report from this state of the Solid South
which voted for Mr.. Hoover. The report
follows:
North Carolina did herself proud on
November 6-remember that North Caro-
lima is in the Solid South.
In the 1924 election Mr.. Davis, Demo-
cratic candidate for President, carried
North Carolina by a majority of $780,
Mr.. HooVer's majority in the recent cleo
ton is 63,208. In 1924, Mr.. Mclean, Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, carried
the state by 500. Mr.. Gardner Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, carried the
state in the recent election by about Co.
000-abOut one-haf the majority which
he would have had in normal election
polling the number of votes cast in this
election. Hoover received 349,615 votes.
Only 266 407 North CarolinianS voted for
Smith. Hoover polled 10000 votes more
than Coolidge received in 1924 Smiths
strength was about equal to what Davis
received four years ago. Hoover received
the largest number of votes ever cast for
any presidential candidate of any party
Our Governor is dry. Senator Simmons
and Overman, who hold over until 1880,
are dry. North Carolina has had until
now ten Democratic Congressman. Eight
of them have been known as "drys.' Two
of them are rated as moist" but with dry
voting records. Two of our dry Congress-
men were defeated by dry Republicans
In the State Legislature we have a drier
representation than at any time in twenty
years. In the Senate there are fourteen
Republicans and thirty-six Democrats. In
the House there are thirty-siX Republi-.
cans, one Independent, and eighty-three
Democrats. This means something like
an increase of about five times as many
Republicans as heretofore.
Senator F. M. Simmons covered himself
with glory and takes his place in the very
forefront of American statesmen The
wet and dry question stayed in the fore
front and the determination of North
Cardinals manhood and Womanhood ito
keep this country dry" had more to do
with carrying the election than any other
factor
The principal move that was made to-
ward carrying North Carolina for Hoover
and for the dry cause was the action of
the North Carolina Anti-Saloon League

CHEMISTS OPPOSED

Transfer of the Prohibition Bureau
from the Treasury Department to the De-
partment of Justice would be a menace to
the chemical industry of the country it
is declared in the January issue of IN
duStrial and Engineering Chemistry, the
journal of the American Chemical So
ciety.
The journal asserts that Cne proposed
transfer would work an injustice upon the
producers and users of industrial alcohol
by placing the administration of matters
pertaining to denaturing formulas in the
same department as the prosecution of
offenders against the prohibition law.

DIR. CaldwelE's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
OF constipation for AZ years, and
believed that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation Will occur
from time 10 time regardless of how
much one tries TO avoid it. OF next
Importance, then, is how to treat it
when it comes. DIR. Caldwell al
ways was in favor of getting as
close to nature as possible, hence his
remedy for constipation, known as
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, il a
Iaild vegetable compound. 1t can
not harm the most delicate system
and is not a habit forming prepare
tion. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love IL. IL
does not grippe. Thousands of moth
ers have written us to that effect.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve Of
drastic physics and purges. tie did
not believe they were good for hui
man beings TO put into their sys-
tenn. In a practice of AZ years he
never saw anv reason for their use
when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels just as
promptly, more Clearly and gently,
without gripping and harm TO the
system.
Keep free from constipation IL
robs your strength. hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old are. Do not let a day 20 by
without a bowel movement. Do not
sit and hope, but go TO a druggist
and get one Of the generous bottles
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Take the proper dose that night ard
bv morning YOU will feel like a diff
ferent person. Use Syrup Pepsin

Hastily organized bucket brigaces
managed TO save nearby buildings
but were unable to check the flames
which engulfed the three frame
onildings. A strong north wind had
whipped the blaze over the buildings
before the fire was discovered.
All losses to buildings and con-
tents were partially covered The
total damage was estimated at about
$4,000.

DON'T STRRVE
TO END r

Few succeed without harm. Try the
modern way, embodied in Mamola pre-
scrption tablets. People have used them
for 20 years-millions Of boxes Of them.
The results are seen everywhere.
Marmola contains a gland clement
which helps turn food into fuel and
energy. The formula appears in every
box, also the reasons for results. Thus
you will know how the changes occur
without harm.
All druggists supply Marmola at 81 :

daily until weight comes down To normal.
Do this because Of the new beauty and
