That is what wo mean* P0o)it6 who stand for the illegal liquor traffic are not citizens. Tills Is not a null ter of opinion, I ?ui a matter of fact. * The only thing that lnduccs any man to sell liquor at all lw greed for gain. Under any circumstances the llqllor business is a low down busl ue*s hut the unlawful Bclligg of liquor is especially ami particularly low down. The ma u who sella liquor in viola tion of the law thereby puts himself In contempt of the highest moral sen tlmcnt of the community in which lie lives, and sets , at defiance all that is good In that community. * No man In the community who pro f esses to stand for law aud order or decency ran alYord to tolerate such a citizen or at least If he does he can not hopo to retain his self-respect or the res|KMt of the community or of himself. * ? Now If the laws against the selling of liquor are o|K?nly and flagrantly violated, who Is resj>oiisihloV As things go now, It Is a notorious fact that no matter what kind of u case may he made against a tiger, lie cannot he convicted or punished. Why? Some years ago a certain aide law yer of Yorkvllle made this statement In the presence of the writer: "We lawyers can put a stop to this busl 'less If we will only <|o 'It. All we have to do is lay down a rule that when a man comes to us to defend him in a liquor case, we will look luto the facts far enough to satisfy ourselves as to whether he Is guilty, and If he Is guilty we will tell him he will have to take his metlielne. That will stop It." And that lawyer was right. It .may not l>e jnwsthle for a rea sonably well equipped lawyer to ec lult any and every guilty tiger, but uider conditions as they exist he can secure the acquittal of most of them Almost every lawyer in tills com ?nunlty Is well aware of the correct ?less of this proiiositloti and a large ?nirt of the public Is aware of it also We know of lawyers who have real ized good Incomes taking cases of ?rullty tigers. There are lawyers ?vho have made a good living at this Vind of business ? who got about all lie profits the tigers make. There is not much of this kind of business in this Immediate section now, although there has been a good 'eal of it in times past. If the only effect of working up "ases against tigers is to force the *lgers to have lawyers to acquit them, what Is the use of ?working up cases (gainst tigers? The sentiments of many communi Mes has resolved Itself down to about Mint. May as well let the tiger c'ontinue 'n the peaceful pursuit of his trade, iiid in the enjoyment of his profits, ?is to make him pay over these prof :ts for an acquittal, notwithstanding 'lis guilt. As a matter of fact, time and ex perience have demonsratod that the tpposlte policy encourages rather Mia 11 <liscourages-4lgeriug. i<nl tnke a wiiA^JCrom live1? tiger ?

Minkowsky ^ County Chairman. jT~, Tracing Them Is Often a Hard Job For the Railroads. HIDE AWAY LIKE CRIMINALS. Qng of Theee Runaways, Th?t Hold# the Truanoy Record. Wa* Visiting Around For Two Yaars and Had Uaan In Nearly All of Our 8kg Cities. At t liu en when the scarcity of f roltflii cara causes ttyj railroads to place tin embargo upon ccrtulu cIumw of goods tho problem or keeping track of It* cars to seo that they do uot run away and become wanderers upon the face of tho earth Is a stupendous one for each company. Before the National Association or Car Accountants was formed and there was no close traffic arrangement between tho various railroad systems respecting the control of freight cars it was a common thing for some er ratlc unit to travel ten or tlfteen thou Hand miles before It returned to Its starting point. There Is the record of one runaway ,car that was away fiom home for pearly two years. a(ul In that time It traveled tt trifle over 20,000 miles, visiting nearly all tho principal cities of the United States. In all that time a car tracer from the company which owned It was on its track, but It eluded hlna constants until it was finally run down and sent back home from a remote region In Texas. When It left the home sheds It was a bright new car: when it re turned It was battered and old-s>? travel stained that Ms own maker could hardly recognize It. It holds the prlao record for truancy umoug freight cars. Traffic conditions have boeu greatly Improved since those days, and rail way companies detaining a car belong ing to anotuer company are penalized by a line. The agreement Is that when a car is received from another railroad it shall be immediately unloaded and returned to its owner. But in time ot a general car famine not all of the railroads obey this rule. Because there is more profit In using the car. even though a dally fine Is exacted for Its unlawful detention, somo railways keep It for weeks or even months for its own traffic, returning It ouly after the congestion has lessened. The small connecting railroads aro often the greatest offenders in this respect in times such as the present, when traffic congestion is more than usually abnormal. When a freight car is built it is giv en a number before it leaves the shop, and thereafter It is always known by | that' number until It Is worn out and scrapped. When a new car receives its number and starts out upon its business career It Is entered in the record book, and a careful account of Its Wanderings and earning powers Is kept there. This record book is a his _tory? t4i?-c4HV-and-by--<*mstrtting^ one can learn how many trips it has Hinder what cities It has visited, how many times It has been to the repaii shop and also where it is supposed to be at any given time. But In spite or all this care in keep ing a record of each car, now and then, , for some unexplained reason, one dls appears from sight, literally running away. Some of the big" companies em ploy car tracers, but as a rule a print ed tracer is first sent after the car to bring It back home. This printed trac ?er, in a blue envelope. Is sent to the .person In whose Jurisdiction tho car was Inst supposed to be, and If it has passed out of his district the tiacei is sent on to the next one to whom the car was consigned. This little printed tracer failing to bring the car home in a reasonable length of time a man known as a tracer is sent after it. The tracer is really a railroad car detective. And sometimes it is more difficult to track a runaway freight car than a criminal. There are tens of thousands of miles of ru 11 ways and hundreds of thousands of freight cars, and to find one carrying a certain number Is often like hunting for the needle in the hay stack. The tracer may arrive In a city where the runaway is supposed to bo at the very moment when the car Is leaving It In tho opposite direction. It tnay cross his track on a parallel line or dodge around him on a short line. It may bo headed south while he la traveling north or rolling merrily toward the Pacific/while iio is going to ward the Atlantic. A runaway car apparently is as de praved as any criminal. It hides on a lonely siding or gets lost in a short swamp line. One such runaway rest ed nearly a year on a siding In south ern Texas simply because It got lost, and no one seemed to know Just what to do with it. In the course of time It was occupied by a family of squatters, who lived quite comfortably In it for mix months and were routed out only when, quito by accident, the car tracer discovered It.?
