Hart, of Musings court, Roa-

his court in which several defend

speeding offered as evidence of
guilt.

judge to consider only whether
the defendants were guilty Of
reckless driving.
Judge Hart said there is no
law to support a speed limit of
IS miles an hour on state high.

chased. On my return the
President asked EIdridge r.

own good editions. He asked
me details Of the first pubIica-
tiOn Of Alice in Wonderland
and 1 tried to explain to him
that the first edition, issued in
1865, not being altogether to
CarrOlPS liking, was suppressed.
Suppressed said the President,

close contest the state capital
citizens are voting for mayor,
counselor and city councilmen
from the four wards. The polls
close at 7 p. m.

John Dep. Douw, elected mayor

Democratic candidate. Neither
he nor any other Democratic Of

some city voters who profess to
feel vaguely done out of some

DAMMING THE FLOOD WITH STRAW.

Five hundred new agents will be added to the present force of the Prohibition Unit on. July l. next the result of authority and appropriations granted by the present Congress This addition will bring the numerical strength of the unit up to 1900 agents Director Woodcock has signifed his
 intention of aoting them follows; the New England States 2O New York 90 Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware TO- Maryland District of Co., lumba, Virginia West Virginia, North and South Carolina 4O Georgia, Florida, Alabama Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas 40, Michigan Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee 40, Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana 80, Minnesota North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa 40, Kansas, Arkansas Oklahoma and Missouri 25 Utah, Colorado Arizona and New Mex ico 15 Washington Oregon, Idaho and Montana 20, California Nevada and Hawaii 20. As Alaska IS part of the Washington Oregon district it probably will get a agent two out of it's allotted 20.
 That this additional force will make any appre ciabe headway in enforcement who is cognizant of the situation expects Of course more arrests will be made and illicit liquor seized. More cases will be filed to clutter up already gested calendars New prisoners will be thrust be- hind the bars of jails and penal institutions admit tedly overcrowded now. But liquor will be plen- tiful as ever. Drinkers will be mutitudinous. They may pay slightly more for what they drink, but their purchases will continue without the slightest abatement
 From July l. last to the beginning of this year, Prohibition vioators convicted and getting jail sen- tences received an aggregate of 5000 years imprson ment Fines aggregating $2,314,837 were assessed in the period And this the last half of the eleventh year of the noble experiment. If there any indications of the country drying up of a lessening of home manufacture, of import ing and of whoesaling and retailing of liquor this might be evidence of enforcement But there are no such signs Evidently as fast bootlegger is sent to jail his place in the trade is occupied oy another person. There are no empty stalls Adding 800 agents to the Prohibition force is like trying to stay the torrent of flooded Mississippi with straw.
