There are groat respon sibilities in the case if as a tact the law is bo flagrantly trampled under foot. The officials charged with enforcing the law should be held accountable for dereliction of duty. In this case fearful pre sumptions are raised against them. We do not know who they are, but they themselves know, and otherB know. Let this be an ap peal to them to do their duty in the premises or give up their places by resignation that others may be put. in charge ot the work wno will do their duty. Let this be an ap peal aho to all lovers of law, order and decency to rise up and demand of officials a more faithful performance of duty or their re tirement from office. Let this be an appeal moreover to all good and true citizens to be faithful in the discbarge ot their obligations to whiob they are bound by sol emn oath and ooncert measures to punish all who would disregard the law in buying or shipping whiskey. Every oitizeu, it may be well enough to say plainly, is bound by oath to co-operate with all others both as. offiials and fel low citizens in suppressing the crime and all other crimes in their midst. And this mast be done or they must inoar the sin of par. taking in the sins of others and sharing in the tremendous guilt. A little inquiry will satisfy any man of the need of the enactment and enforcement of the act amen datory of oar inter-state law agreed on by the jadioiary com mittee of the House which is framed to prohibit the shipment of whiskey from one stale into any part T)fL another iu which pro hibitory laws are in force, Iu one small railway office the records show that on? hundred' gallons of whiskey were shipped to it during the month of October. The average boat of it was about (wo dollar and fifty cents a gallon. The agent at another office told us recently that upon an average five hundred dollars a. month were received at it. It must be said teat this is a distributing point. Think of six thousand gallons of the destrnot iv stuff at a cost of about $15 000 going to one point a year and most of it to the class whose wivet and children Deed most of all good shelter, more and better food and clothes and especially educa tion.
