THE URGE FOR PUBLICITY

We are inclined to agree with |, s. Attorney Frederick H. Tarr Of Bos- ton who. in an address at an inter- county institute of the W. C. I. L. in Lynn, referred to statement at- triDuted 10 Dr. Clarence True Will son general secretary Of the Metho- dist board Of temperance, prohibi- ton and public morals, as desire for the front page rather than for service
 Here is the statement credited to Dr. Wilson of which the |. s. attor- mey omplalned;
 We can take the big bootleggers Of the country and put q stop to them ii the judges wish to do SO hut we have judges that will not do it. Some Of our courts shouldn't be SO contem ptible if they don't want us to express contempt. The worst anarchists we've got in this country are not the bootleg ggers but the judges who won't impose the penalties that they should. The bootlegsers and liquor law violators are the worst set of cutthroats that ever infested this country, and the man who pays money to back them is on the same moral plane as they are. The lowest bootegger in the penitentiary is just as good as the buyer Of liquor.'
 Such statements on their face break down all respect for law. One can scarcely imagine man trying to be of service to his fellow citizens jndu.ging in diatribe against judges who fail to sec eye to cyp with Dr. Wilson, Ii fl be true, as Dr. Will son pointed out, that the judges are worse than the bootleggers. and the bootleggers are Cutthroats, what words shall be used to descriNe the iudges' Dr. Wilson calls them ali archists. Whether an anarchist IS worse than a cutthroat is perhaps a matter Of opinion.
 Before leaving this topic II is we'll to take note Of the frank statement made to the W. C. T. |. gathering by the federal attorney. He was not condemned in resolutions for the following observation:
 such speeches give color to the claim that the forces behind the pro- hibition law are intem perate. nar- row minded fanatics who have nc judgment, no vision, no heart. and no intelligence. and whose main pur- pose i'll life is 70 condemn, to destroy and to punish. The organization ought to make it it's business 10 re- pudiate any such vicious attack upon our institutions as l have just quot ed ''

''WHY | LIKE RAILROAD MEN"

I'm certainly friendly toward the railroads. If II
want to somewhere they'll take safely swiftly, and
in style not inferior to that enjoyed by royalty THEY'LL
insure my life and wellbeing, and the charge will bel
less than would cost to drive automobile THEY'LL
take day and night through all kinds of weather. and
the the direction matters not at all They'll furnish mel
with bed and meals enroue and every courtesy and pr
vilege will be accorded me.
I'm friendly toward the railroads because they are
the the most cordial and sympathetic cooperaors in the
community building enterprise They help maintain
Streets they pay largely toward laying and
mains, they keep their property the best pos
sbe physical condition. and they stand ready to meet
every community fairly the subject of community well
fare. They maintain goody payroll in every community
they and they pay their bills promptly and without
hagging certainly like these railroad boys and think
we'd all be better off if endeavored to plan our bust
ness ventures systems similar to theirs.
like them because they bunch Of lily-hand-
