The trial did not proceed far erough Tues day to find out how well they did their work, but It is pretty certain that they have an abundance of evi dence on each alleged tiger haled into court. It remains to be seen how well those who have the further trial of the cases in band perform their tasks.

It occurs to us that a pair of shoes for the lit tle ones, or some simple toy to glad den their hearts this glad Christ mas season would be gnich more appropriate and bring more hap- piness to the homes of those whose liquid shipments sre coming in. There sre but few persons, if any, who will doubt the guilt of some of the offenders who have recently been arraigned as violators of the prohibition law. Yet there will be a long drawn out legal battle over technicnlitiee.
