If it is just thet one man shall say what another man may or ‘May not buy to drink, then it is just for the first man to feel for | the bottle in the second man’s pocket and to say what he may keep _* op the shelf in his own home. The sooner the country experiences the full logical extreme of Prohibition rule, the sooner will it recover its mental and moral bai- nee and resolve to have back its freedom and self-respect. » By the same token the saloons are doing neither themselves nor the cause of personal liberty any good by ignoring the War-Time Prohibition Law. It would have been better had they observed the law to the letter and let the country feel sharply and at once ‘the fall effects of Nation-wide Prohibition. _ {fhe saloons have always made the mistake of trying to beat the lew. That is what has in the past discredited them and made them the most powerful argument for their own destruction. Had it not ‘been for the bad character of the American saloon and the short- fightedness of the interests that controlled it, there could have been ‘8 snccessful campaign against the real evils of the liquor traffic in the United States without one serious thought of Nation-wide Pro- bibition. ! The best thing the saloon can do now is to obey the law and give the Prohibition regime every chance to make’ itself intolerable. —————— NEW YORK’S SECRET POLICE. ‘ NE suspected murder case and six more robberies concealed i from the public by the Hylan-Enright Silent Police! A man was found mortally hurt in an areaway in West 84th Street the morning of July 1. The man’s wife and brother-in- law believe him to have been murdered by robbers who took his money. From the police the victim’s relatives declare they got nothing but ‘warnings “not to talk to the newspapers.” ‘To justify this policy of silence the police can, of course, point to the famous Hylan theory that when you publish the facts about ctime you invite more criminals to the neighborhood. Since Hizzoner propounded it, citizens of New York have had time to ponder this theory and note some of the things that happen where it is applied in practice. If the city wants a Secret Police of the good old St. Petersburg- before-the-war type—a police that nobody is supposed to ask ques- ~ tions about, least of all those who pay for it--a police that deals with _ crime end criminals on a plan of its own which the public is neither expected nor asked to appreciate—then the Hylan system promises es ts The Jarr Family By Roy L.

He-is known in history as “The Duke of Wellington.” There was nothing spectacular or dtm | matic about him, Like Kitchener, he “fought by the” book of arithmetic.” In other words, he reduced war to an exact science and played its iron game as he would have played an intMcate game of chess—with as much calm strategy and with no more excitement. It was an age when Great Britain had urgent need for just such # man 4s he. And because he had succeeded in making good in a minor way in India fe was shifted to a wider and far more important sphere of activity.

Napoleon haf made his own thick-headed brother King of Spain, The Spaniards had ree volted. The Portuguese had joined them and the British Army was ordere@ to the Peninsula to reinforce them. 7 For several years Wellington waged ceaseless war against Napoleon Marshals, Soult and Massena, in Portugal and in Spain. The tide of tory ebbed and flowed. At times Wellington drove the French out of Portugal and up through Spain as far as Madrid. Again the French wo sweep his troops out of Spain and far back into Portugal. It was a serigm of crashing blows on both sides, Yet bit by bit Wellington's science told. His victories were not @® spectacular as were his enemies’, but they were more effective. He Was following out the plan he had arranged, and he was making good.- By 1814 pressure of warfare elsewhere caused Napoleon to draw away some of his best regiments from the Peninsula, It was Wellington's supreme fiance —and he took it Attacking in force with his Spanish allies he conguere® all Spain and Portugal.
