It is possible as we canjiot give our personal at tention to each statement that a statement may go to some one who has either paid for the paper, or some one whose friends arc sending it and the account should not have Kono to thom. These errors possi bly would occur were we per sonally making out these ac counts, and should they be made we will bo only too glad to correct any of them. The accounts are believed to bo correct and we are sure but few of them will be found otherwise, but in handling so many at a time, any one would be liable to make an error. Please let us have a response promptly, and if you have not received a statement from us, please do not wait for the bill to bo received, hut help us by calling or sending in your re mittance, so |that we may have the use of tho money duo us and save us the cost of mak ing up and mailing ntatoments.

RAMBLING THOUGHT By H. C. H. A wet'6 a "wet", A dry's a "dry"; They cannot 6ee As eye to eye. One of the interesting features of the Wickersham Commission report is the summing1 up of conditions before prohibition, and political corruption that existed at that time; also the causes that led to the passage of the 18th Amendment. Speaking of competition for busi ness the "report" says: "Commer cialized production and distribution, under the economic order of the 20th century, became a great evil". No less an evil grew up through the political activities and influence of organizations of producers, work ing through their local dependents. The corrupting influence upon legis lative and upon administration and po lice in our large cities was conspicu ous and growing. The steady pro gress of state prohibition and local 'option was largely coincident with ^ the growing power of these organi zations and due to public resentment .there at." "The saloons wore generally the centers of political activity, aryd a large number of saloon keepers were local political leaders. Organized campaign expenses of candidates for National, State and local offices. They were extensive a.'vertiers in the news i papers. Laws and ordinances regu latory of saloons were constantly and I notoriously violated in many locali i ties. The corruption of the police was widespread. Commercialized vice and gambling went hand in ha^id with the saloons. When proceedings were ! taken to forfeit saloon licenses be- | cause of violation of the law, it was j a common practice of the brewers to procure surety company bonds an.' provide counsel to resist forfeiture. The liquor organizations raise'.! Hr??e funds to defeat the nomination or election of legislators who opposed their inteiest. The liquor vote was the largest unified, deliverable vote." You see folks; corrupting public of ficials and polieem?n, is not a chil. of prohibition. It always has V>een ? common practice of the liquor crowr Yet, the "wet's" say that prohibitior ought to be abolished because it i ruining the morals of a few official who are crooks ? at heait ? to start with. Politicians; morals. Hurrumph! Kaff, kaff- as Major Hoople would say. | Remember this, folks, the "dry's" are not responsible for the rottenness | that the "wet's" claim now exists. The "wet's" are the bribers. | Automobiles killed 32,5'CO people last year. If the bodies could be placed side by side, they would cover the ground for a distance of 9 miles'; placed end to en:i they would reach from Camden to Columbia. Mr. Raskob had n perfect right to bolt the- Democratic party in 189f>, Wilson and Cleveland did the same thing. Mr. Raskob had perfect right to return to the party any time that he. saw fit. I admire him for his dependence. AH voters should' enjoy the same rights as the party leaders. I am opposed to Mr. Raskob on ac count of his wetness. Madame Sylvia, German seer, pre dicts troublesome days for America this year. Shur, we don't need no fortune teller to put us wise to that. Hoven't we always got the United States Senate, and the "wet" crowd to keep the trouble pot bilin? Politicians do not fear the native vote; it is too pa? /e; but. they do fear the alien vo because it is ag gressive. Party regularity means nothing to the alien vote unless the parby principle agree with what the aliens want. Yeah, the aliens come mighty near to ruling this country. They don't a^k for what they want, they demand it, and get it. What they want is seldom the thing that you want. Difference in racial views Just keep on sleeping; and it won't be long until the alien telta you "where to ^ot off". He'tter think that over, and then act. I A Iliindlc of Old Letters It, was only a bundle of letters, Much faded' and stained by the years, Ihit they brought to my mind recol- j lertion, That left, my eyev swimming in tcirs. j As f thought of the dear one who wrote them.

' CAHl)lTI. l.'ft'il fur over 5u yi i fulfill such a responsible position. Mr Hough possesses' a personality that restores a prisoner's confidence, has a kind word for every one, making them as comfortable as possible. After their daily work is over he watches carefully, every link in the chains, also goes thru their clothing to detect any weapon that the prisoner might have obtained" during the day. He is a cons, ientious worker. When a prisoner is in his charge, he examines the soles of his shoes, also inside of band on hat, and lining of clothes, looking for a file or saw. There isn't a day that passes, but what he gives the convict cages a thorough examina tion, looking for any technicality that might have occurred dtiring the night, at which time, most of these desper ate convicts do their work. As a rule, they are clever men to deal with. Some of the convicts, under Mr. Hough's jurisdiction, are exceed ingly desperate, and would kill any one, as quick as a twinkling of an eye, if they could get the chance. All t theny think of is escape. There are | men in Mr. Hough's charge, that are jon for murder, safe breaking, house ] breaking, assault and battery with i intent to kill, and many others are ;on for slight offences such as steal ing chickens, fighting, boot legging, and gambling. Mr. Hough has n quiet, unassum ing nature, and will take a lot of a buse and hardship on his shoulders; he is exceedingly pood nature;!, and j has a fine Jispositir.n. It takes a jwhole lot to anger him. I said he ,fore his duties are to look after the | prisoners from sail down to sun up. He is called, by all that know him. "night man", hat, you would think he was "day man" as well as "ni'^ht nyi.n' I> <? rearorv: His Ijmo jto really stop for rest, and g > to hed. starts about 0 a. m. until 1:30 P. M. It is remarkable what Mr Hough stands in the way of long hours of work. His rest ;s broken up time i , 1 and time again, during the day, and yet, you never hear him complain. Kverythinfc has to go thru his h ind during tho day, such as checking up on gas and oil, receiving new priso ners, looking after the mail, exam ining the steel cages, meeting any j men that happen to come at the cani|i j m business, taking a sick convict to tho doctor, taking a convict to town | when hi* time expires, carry \ lie pris oners their dinners and many other j odd jobs around' camp t' O numerous ? to mention: How Mr. Hough man agm to keep healthy with all the ( duties that are required of him is | really a mystery, for it looks to me like a man's jol> alone to watch over fifty prisoners staying Up all night, night after night, an<l performing the j duties that h^ is required to do dur | ing the day. A man, wilh t he qual i ities and persever??:vre that Mr. Hough I possesses, is x cre<lit to an/ common . ity. I !o rot rec all at amy time, . since Mr. Hough lias taken over the fight, wal h, of liis losing a prisoner, Which proves he cet tainly ha's his eyes open at all times.
