The Kansas System

you doubt this read the account Of the Nevada saloon
KEEPERS who trooped the courthouse the other day
and paid their for selling liquor and then rushed back
to their bars continue selling liquor This ism new
phenomenon it observed by Carry A. Nation Kansas
two generations ago. Kansas dry the saloon illegal
Kansas also practical and wanted the revenue which
other States derived from the sale of liquor So Kansas
instituted system of monthly fines for violating the law;
the fines paid and by coincidence amounted to about
the licensing would have been 1t
was for everyone except Carry A. Nation ideal system
In my opinion it is the system which is most likely TO
emerge the present mudde prohibition doesn set in
fairly You may call it notification Hypocrisy its
only serious defect that will probably not eliminate the
bootlegger and the racketeer.

And now COL Amos w. W. WoodcOck Director OF Prohl-
bton brought forth the second bit of sense One IN

speaks painvely of the drnker escaping punishment De-
cause of the protection the law gives him. He says

bootleggers going Jail But he will do nothing about IT,
He can't The drnker his drink and his conscience go INTO

True to Type
INTERLUDE OF SENSE
AFTER FIVE YEARS
OF REINFORCEMENT"
-Rv GILBERT SELDES

think have read everything said by officials in
charge of prohibition enforcement and until lately had
encountered but solitary which had sense
1t the proposal credited to Mr. Doran at the time, to
poison all the drinkers This not of the form
used; although prohibition much important than
life old prejudice against murder exists leftover from
happier days The suggestion in effect that fatal in
gredent added alcohol chemical both powerful and
undetccab that all those who drank would die and
who refused to drink would suffer.
Kill the Drinkers
this eminently sensibethe reapolitik of prohbi-
ton 1t faced the facts and put into practice, it would
have accomplished its end For matter how the amend
ment is phrased its purpose to put stop 10 DRINKING
and how you accomplish this beautifully than by
killing off drinkers? Not since Dean Swift proposed
return to cannbaism, order to relieve depression mas
such a stern and sound doctrine been announced
The sentimentasts in charge of our Government held
back There talk of human rights and the Govern
in murder'all Of which beside the point Ether
the Government enforce the law not! If police

Catty, the Navigator

friend of mine is exercised what he thinks is the
unfair division Of honors between Post and Gaty To him
navigator Gatty the Of science sitting in the back
and looking at the stars the hero of the ghtthe
directing mind, the finally responsible director.
As Admiral Schley said less pleasant OCCASION there
is glory enough for a and the real difference Of opinion
far beyond the persons of these attractive
tors You would hardly call Gatty abstract thinker
philosopher withdrawn from the affairs of the world yet
on the flight he might have been Buddhist sitting under
banyan thinking while Post moved ruddrs and sticks and
seemed to do the actual flying. And people will al
ways be taken by the who active while
others will applaud the who seems lost in thought.

Gattys account of his work is fascinating. do not

why Gattv likes have both the and the visible
to him his flights because do not what he does

putting pencil to paper. he able to exactly where
they 1t magnfcentand it be the flying

Scientists do things like that occasionally. 1t can't affect
my personal life profoundly, but peases think that
shortly after the death of Alexander the Great scholar
named Eratosthene measured the size of the earth and
within so miles of the true diameter There is something
fine in the modest words of HALEY: "Hence think may
venture to fOreteI, that it (the cOmet will again

Mystery Signs
Appear In City

Black hand fiends, ran wild in El
Centre and Imperial last night and
marked sidewalks with mysterious
symbols, "22nd Alarm"
These markings appear on side
walks and crossings throughout
both cities. and are the occasion of
considerable speculation and COM
ment.
Among the theories advanced is
that the citizens of the two towns
are to be alarmed for the 22nd time
about something. Just what there
is to be alarmed about is not known
at this time, many residents ad
vancing the belief that the heavy
rainfall is sufficiently alarming for
the time being
Deep secrecy surrounds the paint
ing of the symbols as no one saw
it done in the dark of the night.

Road Work Which is Proposed

In speaking of road work which
is proposed, the Governor said that
the State Highway Department
was considering road improve
ments near to Wilmington because
it is felt that the most unemploy-
ment will be in the vicinity of that
city. Contractors for this work,
the governor said, would be re-
quired to hire bona-fide Delaware
ans on the work and they will also
be limited to a minimum wage so
that no advantage may be taken
of those who are in need of work.
Where possible, work will be done
by hand instead Of by machinery,
so as to employ more men. While
this may cost the State more
money, the amount will not be as
much greater as many people be-
lieve, and more men employed.

ing the years that the Kennard-
Pyle store has served the people
Of Wilmington and vicinity, the es-
tablishment has built up an en-
viable reputation for itself. The
store enjoys the distinction of be-
ing not only the Oldest retail es-
tablishment in Delaware, but also
is recognized as one Of the group
of about so stores in the entire

the State Treasury of S11,0O0,O0O
at the beginning of this fiscal
year." said the Governor, "that
fund is almost depleted because of
the appropriations made from that
fund. 1 vetoed several appropri-
alton bills to protect this fund
from depletion. There is a sur
plus of $5,000,00O in the school
fund but this can only be used for
school work. While this surplus
is large, it can not be expended at
this time without a special session
of the Legislature because the
budget for this, and the following
fiscal year, has been made and the
State Board of Education can use
none of the surplus without action
Of the Legislature. l do not desire
to call special session of the Leg
islature unless it should be neces-
sary." Asked concerning the new
road work, Governor Buck said:
THE State Highway Commission
has the power to issue bonds when
necessary without Legislative ac-
ton. 1t also has the power to re
deem those bonds when necessary.
While / am opposed to issuing
bonds, it might be necessary in an
emergency like this" Concerning
employment for men who are not
able to work on roads, or do the
work of a mechanic, Governor
Buck said that such phase of re-
lief work had not yet been consid-
cred. He added that it would, of
course, be necessary for these men
to have employment the same as
mechanics and laborers. Of course
they might not be able to get ex-
actly the kind of work which they
have been doing, but would have
to take such work as they would
be able to do and which could be
furnished.
