prohibition in South Carolina before
1QCQo
Calls 1t Huge Joke"

~vS
A Texas editor expresses himself
with typical Texas candor in this:
1T is a huge joke; b~ootleggers are
as thick as hairs on a dogs back;
doctors writing prescriptions at So;
druggists selling cheap booze at $3.50
per pint, making a gallon of 80-cent
whiskey sell at $50. Believe govern
ment should take over the booze bus
mess and put it in dispensaries. SELL
ing same so cheap it would put boot
leggers out of business. It Is the
chief commodity of gangland; mil
lions of dollars squandered in trying
to enforce law. The prohibition lead
ers appear to be backing the dry law
in order to hold fat jobs"
Pleas for state control and sale of
liquor are voiced by many editors.
Typical is the following from Ne
braska:
I'VE are advocating an amend
ment to the 18th amendment, if nee
essary, to the end that the govern
ment may contract for the manu1ac-
ture, and itself distribute to the con-
sumner, in limited quantities, much
after the Swedish system, such
liquors demanded, for the reasons
that the present premium on crime
will be removed, the cause of real
temperance advanced and govern
mental costs reduced"
Wants Government Sale
A Wisconsin editor agrees:
Favor modification for its prob
able effect in lessening rackets re-
sultant from these measures; believe
manufacture and distribution of COM
modify of volume reached in illicit
liquor consumption should be under
government supervision"
Complaints that prohibition has
been harmful to youth are occasion
ally voiced; as in this, from a Min
nesOta editor:
"A fair trial Of the dry laws has
proved a flat failure, leaving a trail
of debauched youths, corrupt public
servants. countless moon joints,
speakeasies and vicious night clubs,
an increasing crime wave and pow
erful gang and racket rings
A Florida editor cites these reasons
for opposing the dry laws:
Universal use of intoxicants by
American YOUTH of both sexes. Di-
version of capital in millions of dol
lars into the hands of rumheads.
Ineffective enforcement. Through
rum activities. capital falling into
hands of persons of bolsheyistic ideas
and a threat to safety of nation. One
of leading causes Of financial condi-
ton of country at present"
Cites Causes Of Graft
A Massachusetts editor complains
Of prohibition:
1T has brought about widespread
corruption in police departments
and practically every law enforce
ment organization. It hes likewise
developed more corruption in munic-
ipal government than we have expe-
rienced for many years."
A disiliusioned and perplexed Yer
mont editor writes that his paper Is
neither for nor against prohibition,
adding:
Am advocating no policy. The
old systems Of saloons under local
option was q misfortune. The pres
ent system under prohibition Is q
calamity. Am in favor Of trying
something else, hoping for improve
tnent."

state his opinion.

Files Appeal In
Justice Case

Attorneys for Charles Mccullough
yesterday afternoon filed ir supe-
rior court a statement of appeal
from a verdict of the inland town
ship justice court finding McCul-
Tough guilty of a misdemeanor in
attempting to move a house near
Salton Sea owned by George Berg
er, when Berger had not given him
permission to do SO.
Mccullough was sentenced to pay
a fine of 5000 and be imprisoned for
go days, and the sentence suspended
on condition he pay Berger $50
damages.
McCullough's appeal is based on
the ground the jury returned only
an oral verdict, and it was after the
jury had been dismissed the judge
called the foreman back to sign a
written verdict.
During his trial Mccullough. who
admitted jacking up the house
owned by Berger, asserted he
bought the house from man who
represented himself as Berger. He
did not know Berger, Mccullough
said, and thought the impostor
owned the cabin.

K. L. STEBERGS HALIBUT SCHOONER IN COLLISION
 NEAR PORT TOWNSEND

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, July 20.-The Seattle halibut schooner Sunset, owned by K. L. Steberg of Ketchikan, Alaska, was nearly cut in two by the Associated Oil tanker Frank G. Drum, off Marrow Stone Point last Saturday.
 Capt. John Ansen and eight members of the crew were rescued uninjured. The tanker lowed the Sunset here where she was beached to prevent sinking. A heavy fog is blamed for the accident Capt. Ansen said he heard the whistle of the 1000 ton tanker and came to full stop before the crash. Fishing gear was strewn over Puget Sound.
 The Sunset was returning from Prince Rupert and the Frank G. Drum was bound to Porta Costa, California, from Everett.

Friends of Dr. and Mrs. Diven
 are pleased to learn that they are enjoying their sojourn in Florida

 count of Dr. Diven's health. Dur ing the latter years Dr. Diven spent in the Wrangell Presbyterian pas
 torate he wrote a number of short stories for St Nicholas magazine and three junior novels. each with an Alaskan background. which were published by the Century Co. He took with him an unfinished manu- script which will probably emerge in book form next year. Excerpts from a recent letter to Wrangell friends follow:
 We are well settled in the edge of an orange grove three miles out from Lake Mary, where we plan to spend a year, or whatever part of the year I shall need to complete my recovery and get the next manu- script finished. I have not seen the manuscript since I came south and the first draft is far from being completed.

FORMER DRY AGENT
 CAUGHT IN ROUNDUP

SEATTLE, July 20.-In a round up of what Prohibition Agents de- scribe as a powerful western Wash ington and California liquor ring, George JenOuris and Graham John son, a former Prohibition agent, were arrested here charged with aiding in the operation of a giant still at Graham, near Tacoma.
 Another ex-agent and a former Seattle policeman are also sought, but their names are not disclosed.
 George Gordon, of Oakland, Cal, was arrested in Tacoma and five others were arrested when the still was seized. They are said to be hijaekers not connected with the stills operation. All were bound over to the Grand jury.
 The officers said the ring sup piled most of the so-called bonded liquor in Western Washington. The ring is said to have operated a still seized at Port Gamble, Kitsap County, Wash, last December, but no convictions resulted then. The agents said supplies and the ap- paratus were brought from Cali fornia.

JAPANESE ASTRONOMER
 DISCOVERS NEW COMET

PASADENA, California-An apol- olegetic telegram from an obscure Japanese amateur astronomer at Brawley, California, tp Mount Will son observatory autharities today revealed the discovery by the ana teur of a new star, M. Nagata. The astronomer began by asking pardon for wasting the time of Mount Will son scientists and asked if it was possible he had located the comet with his small telescope. Dr. Seth Barnes Nicholson of Mount Wilson observatory confirmed the discovery and said the comet had been named after Nagata as was customary
