Liquor. Law Violations
Announcement today by federal officials of
the.existence of an alleged "whisky ring" in this
:b&n ImpliHte in its o'pera-
irons, ana me presence oi eviuaite w &uuauu t.iate their'aruilt, is only the forerunner of prose cutions that will follow inevitably in the wake of the disclosures. The citizenship of Richmond believes that the illicit sale and transportation of liquor here
should be checked at once by drastic action, so
that the supremacy of the law may be upheld and the evildoer learn that he cannot violate the statutes persistently and for his own gain. The ramifications of this local "ring," it is said, extend to violators in other states. Rich
mond is one of the stations on a line running
from the Ohio river to Chicago, the revenue officers say, and liquor, after it reaches this city, is distributed to other points in this section of
the country.
Fortunes have been made by local men, the
revenue officers assert, by selling liquor here and by enlisting the co-operation of confederates in its distribution to other communities. That the ring" is well organized and plied its trade with systematic cunning and ingenuity is apparent from the methods which it employed to obtain
liquor and dispose of it, agents of the government said. They have in their possession indisputable evidence. Prosecutions are sure to follow and convictions in the federal courts are assured. Therein lies the real worth of the investigation which the government has been conducting for many weeks. If the country permits a gradual breakdown of the law, chaos and disorder are sure to follow. If violators are arrested and convicted for their offenses, the public will know, that laws are enacted for the protection of the community, and that the lawbreaker cannot escape the consequences of his acts. The conviction of the men who have been guilty of organizing the alleged "ring" and of participating in its operations will be a salutary lesson for those who are inclined to believe that law evasion is condoned. The vast majority of
the men and women of this country and of this !
community are law abiding, and believe that men who violate the law especially for profit to themselves should bemade to pay the penalty for their wickedness. The community will gain immeasurably by the removal of these men, who not only imported the liquor in vast quantities, but also attracted to the city men with criminal tendencies.
The series of burglaries perpetrated here last !
summer probably can be traced to "whisky runners," who saw a fertile field for burglarizing operations. The elimination of the bootlegger and. of the men who supplied him with liquor may result in diminution of other crimes. The clean-up by the government will end the illicit importation and sale of liquor in this city. The net has been drawn about thejeaders, and government officials say none of them and their confederates will escape. Thus by one swoop will the traffic and the "ring" be smashed.
Answers to Questions
A,
YOUNG READERS For the benefit of two of your young readers, will you kindly explain what Is meant by the words "first water as applied to diamonds? A noted English Inventor and anUjuary, William H. F. Talbot, while admitting that! the term "first water" as used to denote the purity of diamonds was most applicable, yet nonetheless thought that the use of this phrase arose through error. He believed that the old English "hlw," meaning the finest and purest hue, or color, was mistaken by the Normans for their own -"ewe," meaning water, and who therefore applied It in that sense. "First water" now means the highest degree of fineness in a diamond, or other precious 6tone; hence, figuratively, the highest rank morally, socially or otherwise. The expression 'first water," especially when applied p a diamond, denotes
that it is free from all traces of color. blemish, flaw, or other Imperfection and that Its brilliancy is perfect. OLD TIMER . Please tell me in whose possession Is the famous chess automaton that attracted so much interest-at the Eden Musee in the old
days? Wjjai was the mystery of its
mechanism? After passing through several bands it now reposes at Coney Island, according to the best information at hand. There was surely mystery, to the onlooker, in its operation, but no complicated human-made machinery in its mechanism, for a very good: chess player was concealed behind the figure, who watched the board through holes in the same and made the moves. It was just .one more fa&e among the many that have held the- attention of the curious.

Good Evening; By Roy K. Moulton
things. When a child drinking milk gags end coughs, the farmer says, "Did you choke on a bone in the milk?" They say that a horse-drawn wagon is driven by a "hay motor." They call oleo "bull butter" because it is made from the fat of steers instead of the milk of cows. Their phrase to describe eagerness is "r'aring to go," because a willing horse rears and pulls at the reins in its eagerness to start. "John, you've turned into a goodlooking man. A few years back a feller couldn't hardly get a mule past you in the road." That's plainly a country joke. A'Citv man Kavs "I'm so tirprt that
I'd trade the Wool worth tower for a
dressing gown, slippers and hot water bag." Th'rt country man says, "I'm so tired hat I'd give a farm for a chance to hrow off the harness and roll on the trass." That's what the horse does U the end of the day.
The farmer's remark is as witty as I he. town man's. But. they cannot un I
derstand each other's humor, because they arenot familiar with each other's habits. The aim of this column is to present both town humor and country humor in an effort to get a smile out of as many people as possible.

AFTER THE FUSS. The welkin's eased to rattle, and calm is everywhere, and now the smoke of battle no more obscures the air; spellbinders have departed: the losers, heavy-hearted, now look for holes uncharted, where each may
have his lair. And now let's be forgetting our woozy campaign ways, aud do some hone?t sweating, as in the o'den days; there's wood that calls for hewing, and hops require our brewing: oh, let us be pursuing sane tasks, like useful jays. The statesmen we've elected. I'm sure, will not be lax, and they may be expected to gel right down to tacks; but they can't make the nation work out its own salvation unless the population will buckle down like wax. When at the polls I noted (I watched you, -ns:le-eved!) how all you fellows voted with high and wholesome pride; and now perhaps you figure that, having thus shown vigor, it's yours to sit and snijrper and let the whole -works slide. This nation can't be lifted to levels fine nnd high by all the statesmen gifted who eat the public pie, unless Tom.

' - . He was very affable and free with Ms opinions, was this young Englishman, but that was about all he was free with. To the man who carried his bag to the countryside station he had given one whole penny. Notwithstanding the forlorn look on the man's face, he still continued to chat in an easy manner. "I shall never forget," he continued, "the splendor of the scenery when I was in Switzerland. It was an educa
tion to see the sun rise, tipping the little blue hills with gold " "Ah!" interrupted the man who had toiled with his bag. "Them hills was luckier than me, weren't they?" His wife was one too many for Dobbs, but, nevertheless, he persevered in his efforts to get an occasion
al night at the club. "My dear," lie remarked the other day, "I have only just realized how imperfect I am in my knowledge." His wife agreed. "No man," continued Mr. Dobbs, ' ought to assume that his education Is finished. As for myself, I am going to forge ahead and take up the study of astronomy." The look in his wife's eyes became more eagle-like than ver. Her voice assumed a cold, hard tone. Her back stiffened. "Benjamin," she thundered, "you must try again. That excuse for staying out late at night won't do!"
