REAL PROGRESS IN HOUSING

Within five years cities of this
country have evolved from a mild
and casual interest in housing prob
lens to az serious and close study.
Once attention was called often and
forcefully enough to what German
and British cities had done, we be-
gan to progress. Six years ago,
when the National Housing Asso-
citation was formed, six cities were
paying some attention to housing
their workingmen. Now 200 cities
have either made surveys or passed
corrective legislation.
Now that communities are keenly
alive to the need of some solution,
the sponsors for the Ellen Wilson
block of model homes are going to
try to point way. Originally de-
signed merely as a memorial to the
late Mrs. Ellen Wilson. the me-
mortal is to take on the added value
Of a great big object lesson to the
entire country. The block Of model
dwellings is not going to be one
n'ore philanthropy. 1t is going to
demonstrate how the daily wage
carner may be housed comfortably
and not be pauperizad by having a
group of wealthy persons chipping
in help pay his rent. The invest
Mt in the homes is to pay rea-
liable return to the investors.
f the sponsors for the project can
duct the homes on this business
basis, and if they can show the
ue of the enterprise, not only to
'se who live in the block, but tc
community, they will have dem,
onstrate a solution which can be
followed in any city.
Most other housing plans have de
pended upon finding a philanthropist
to put up the money. 1t is worth
noting, though. that Washington al
ready has worked out a similar plar
to the satisfaction of everyone con
ccrned. The Washington Sanitar,
Improvement Company and tn,
Washington Sanitary Housing Com
pany stapd as monuments to tn,
advanced thinking Of the late Gen
George NJ. Sternberg. But the dem
onstration to be made in the me
mortal to the late Mrs. Ellen Wilson
will carry far and wide, and it will
give to this simple device of "philan
thropy at per cent" prestige tha
will compel attention of other com
munities trying to do a simila
work.

THE SHEPPARD BILL

1t would be interesting to know
precisely who drafted the Sheppard
bill for prohibition in the District OF
! Columbia, and whether its authors
understood and intended all the eff
fects the measure would produce.
The measure seems, in its present
form, certain to defeat its own ends
| it attempts to impose prohibitions
that cannot be expected to be held
constitutional in view of the court
decisions dealing with interstate
commerce in liquors. If the sincere
advocates of a dry District will give
the subject proper thought, they will
be convinced that any measure they
pass, or support in the hope of pass
ing, ought to be sane and reason
able. A measure that overdoes mat
ters will provide its own excuse for
people who want to vote against it;
and if passed will stand a good
chance to be thrown out by the
courts.
The present measure prohibits
! selling, keeping for sale, or giving
away. long category of potable
liquors ."and other liquors which
shall contain one-half of 1 per-
centum by volume of alcohol or
more May mans privilege of
bringing in liquor in interstate COM
merce be thus denied? Or may he,
if this privilege is sustained, be pre-
vented from giving a drink to a
friend in his home? The point sure
ly is worth making very certain
about. Does this provision interfere
with sale Of favoring extracts, etc
which have a high percentage of al,
cohol?
There is one provision Of the bill
which surely ought to have atten-
! ton. Section 10 says that any "com'
petent witness" may swear out a
search warrant on which the police
shall forthwith search any premises
complained Of, to determine il
liquors are kept there; and even il
they be kept only "for use' or tC
give away, the discovery of liquors
shall be prima facie evidence OF
intent to violate the law. This would
seem to mean that a man with {
bottle of liquor in his home "fo1
use" could be made the victim Of &
police search and seizure if any en-
emy chose to swear out the warrant
and if the liquor be found, would b.
guilty. This seems trife like over
doing matters.
The measure is full of just sucl
crudities and extreme features
There is no need, in order to make
prohibition law, to make one so eX
treme that it will turn large shar
of the community into criminals
Public sentiment has in every juris
diction had to be considered in pre-
pairing and enforcing sumptuary leg

change completely the long-estah
lished views of people about funda
mental right and wrong. The Shep
pard bill is liable to Illustrate it
, own ends, and requires detaile
study and much amendment befor
it will deserve to be considered a
fairly representative of the real pu,
pose even of the people who favo
any prohibitory legislation at all.

THE NEW TYPES OF MURDER

German determination to make
frightfulness characteristic of
war, no matter what the results,
is illustrated by the return to Yep
pelin horrors at the time when sub
marine activities are suspended. Go
ing back over the course of the war,
it is impossible to avoid the conclu-
sion that the Germans have expend-
ed a measure Of energy and sub
stance in carrying on their twin
campaigns of assassination, that
have brought no adequate results.
Under water or in the sky, it has
been from the beginning the Ger
man determination to demonstrate
that all rules of humanity were
hereafter to be waived when Ger
many made war. The submarine
campaign failed in the British war
zone because the submarines were
conquered; but instead of suspending
it as futile, the Won Tirpitz activities
transferred the same activities to
the Mediterranean. 1t tried to gain
some decent repute by the pretense
that it was making concessions to
, humane sentiment; but while it was
. doing this it was paving the way
for a new outburst against non
combatants and merchant shipping
in new quarter. 1t merely pretend
ed to have been moved by consider
ations of decency, in order that it
might take by surprise the cargoes
Of defenseless humanity that ply
the Mediterranean, and make its
murderous work the more effective.
Now the hatred which, in its most
virulent moods, has been aimed es-
pecially at Britain. is diverted in
part for the purpose of an assault
on Paris. 1t is year since the last
experimental efforts were made at
/ dropping bombs on the French capi-
tai; seemingly all energies had
meantime been devoted to getting at
London and in general terrifying
Britain. 1t is an easier matter and
a safer, to send the Zeppelins to
Paris; victims are just as numerous,
and the chance of getting to them
and escaping after the crime is bet
ter. What more could be wished
when the object is merely 10 slay;
when age, condition, nationality, is
after all an incident, when no mill.
tary purpose can possibly be served
when the only gain is in repute fol
inhumanity and devil-craft.

peculiarly suggests the fiendishnes!

ANNUAL POTATO SHOW
ONE CROP BURNS MORTGAGES
At MONTE VISTA.
Farmsrs' Union Association Holds
spud Show and Members Publicly
Celebrate Freedom Of Debt.

Western Newspaper Union News Services.
Monte Vista, Colo.-The first annual
potato show given by the Farmers
Union Association of the Monte Vista
district was held here. The potato
crop in this section this year has been
far beyond anything ever known be-
fore. Yield and prices have been phe-
nomenal. The farmers arranged the
show to exchange ideas as to the most
successful methods used, as well as to
celebrate their success in the growing
of their crops. During the exhibition
a number OF farmers publicly burned
the mortgages on their land, this
years crop having enabled them TO
pay off all Indebtedness.
Some of the yields reported by indi-
vidual farmers were painted on
streamers and posted in conspicuous
places at the potato show. For in.
stance, William Macy and sons report
ed gross return OF $423.10 from one
measured acre. William Bowsher
cleared $4,000 from 1GO acres.
About 1900 carloads of potatoes
have been shipped already from Mon
to Vista and Del Norte stations. and
1000 cars remain awaiting transport
alton facilities. The potato growers
plan to build a 100000 storage house
next summer to hold their crops in
case other years have car shortages
such as marked the present year.

Berlin, Oct. "a. Count Carl
Stuergkh, Austrian premier, was shot
and killed Saturday while at dinner,
by the editor OF Vienna newspaper.
Ludwig Adler, says the Overseas
News Agency.
Count Stuergkh was shot three
times. He was dining at hotel when
the publisher attacked him. Three
shots were fired, all of which took
effect, the premier dying instantly.
Count Stuergkh has been a promi-

in October, 1911, he was asked to
form a new ministry. The count was
born in 1859 at Graz, was educated

began his parliamentary career on
March 12, 1891, when he was elected
to the Reichsrath. In 1894 he became
