An Indirect Way

We are printing this morning a communication from reader in which he the abolition of pool halls as a war measure-that there may be place for able bodied young to loaf who ought to be at work We do not think that is the best way to reach the desired end In the first place is too indirect and involves injustice. We suspect that the contributor is against pool halls per SC; that they rather than the loafers uppermost in his mind.
 There are pool halls and pool halls; good and some bad We know that in Phoenix there some such pool halls as he describes-rendezvous for loafers and potential criminals They should be closed not as a war measure but a measure of decency. We know another pool hall and there may be still others in Phoenix where there is loafing We do not know whether it is forbidden but know loafers do not finger there. Respectable men, any boys, go there in the evening in moments of leisure to play pool and billiards. It is maintained, it has seemed to us as a convenience rather than a money making adjunct of another business which is quietly and we believe, proftably conducted. To eliminate such place would be to deprive many excellent ct- zens of a harmless amusement. would bring no loaers into useful service as we have said there arc no loafers there
 The best way to get the loafers is to go after them-directly-whe they are If they are in pool halls take them away from there. If they in clubs or on the street corners or park benches them away from there.
 We can enact a law to do that just as easily as we can enact law indscrminatingly close the pool halls and such law would be measure.
 The closing up of places where loaf would have no other result to them hunt ing for new places The only way to deal with the oafer rich or poor to take him by the nape the neck and put him at work.

Maricopa county Sunday school con- vention.
 These two conventions resolved to urge the closing of the pool halls as a war measure, that the hundreds of men who loaf and gamble there might use the wasted time to help produce something that would help win the war.
 I think something along this line for Phoenix and other towns in farming communities would be quite sane and logical just now, but there may be some question about closing the pool halls in all of the mining towns of the state, where the possibilities of gar dening are meager Personally, could get along without a pool hall the rest of my life.
 Profanity, vile stories, evil sugges- tions, remarks about passing girls and women, gambling, bootlegging and everything else that is bad for your boy and my boy are in some of them About the only excuse for them is the fact that some of us are guilty, fear fully guilty, before God and society of not providing more wholesome places for our homeless men and our young people. We should have more accessible libraries and reading rooms play grounds for children and older people, healthy recreation where entire families might take part, parks, music entertainment. When we do more along this line we can close, not only the pool halls, but we can also prevent many boys from going to the reform schools, many girls from going wrong and many men from going to prison l While we are getting our minds made up to do this, Phoenix; Glendale, Tenn pc, Mesa, Chandler and all of the towns in the agricultural sections o1 the state should close all the pool halls and see to it that all are kept closed
 And, while we are talking about loaf 1 ing, let us be fair and look just a little more closely. The other day, betweer the hours of II and o'clock, counted 3S0 men who seemed to have nothine to do. Over 200 of them were in tho pool halls, but 60 of them were il offices, fake promotion offices.
 The fact is, a man has no right tt | loaf "A hours a day anywhere, whilt your son and my son hold the lines ou there in, that fiery hell against tn, fiends of the pit, while four miflior Belgian, French, Armenian. Serbian

Colombia Finds
| transportation a
Difficult Problem
BY Claude E. Guyant
4 american Consul, BurrQnozlilla

Inc great problem Of Colombia is
that of obtaining easy and rapid
transportation from one part Of the
country 70 another At present it re-
qulres from eight to ten days to 20
from the coast to Bogota TO go from
barranquI!la to Cartagena. a distance
OF about sixty miles, requires day
and a night and it is a sevcn-day trip
from Barranquilla to Medelln, the
cities mentioned are the four largest
in the country and the most accessible.
IRON this may be imagined the diff
l'cult'es Of transportation to other in
terror points and the heavy tax on all
prosperous capital of Antioquia. The
incoming and outgoing cargoes which
such conditions impose.
The main artery of the transporta-
ton system Of the country is the Mag
dalena River. Traffic on this river is
carried on by forty-one steamers, hav-
ing total Of 1896 registered tons
During 1916 these steamers carried
eQ,671 tons Of freight. and brought out
1910 passengers and 53,452 tons Of
freight
The Magdalena River has never been
properly maintained and traffic in the
dry season is uncertain. steamers oc-
casionally being held up forsdays, and
sometimes weeks. on sand bars. The
mouth OF the river (known as the
Bocas de Ceniza) is closed by a
trcacherous bar which renders direct
communication with the sea impossi-
BILE. For years there has been agita-
ton for the reopcning of this channel,
which would be of extreme Importance
to the country. In 1913 contract was
let to firm Of German engineers for
taking soundnps and making plans OF
a feasible project. This was done. and
it is understood that the engineering
firm mace an offer to do the work on
terms which were acceptable to the
government.
There are three railroads under con-
struction in the country. The Tolima
Railway and the Southern Railway.
which are being constructed directly
by the government, are Of relatively
small Importance. The Pacific Rail-
way is a government project, but the
construction is being done by contract.
This railway is now in operation from
tance further inland. 1t is expected
ultimately to open up the central part
of the country to the Pacific scaboard.
The State Of Antioquia also carried
on important construction work on
the state-owned line being built from
the city of Melelin to the Magdalena.
There are no privately owned rail
roads under construction in Colombia.
There are unfinished private roads.
but no construction work was carried
on in 1916

Cotton

Unsettled conditions prevailed in
cotton yesterday, the market having
no pronounced trend at any time dur
ing the session, being firm and weak
by turns over ranges Of about 20
points, with the close at net decline
of II to 38 points. In general way
there was weakness early, followed by
sharp afternoon rallies ard an equally
violent decline just before the close, on
the news from Washington that a gen
eral closing down of inductrics would
be ordered to correct the coal situa-
ton.
Regarding Southern spots it was said
that there had been no change in scnti-
mcnt so far as holders are concerned,
as they have no trouble to secure their
price. and in a number of cases were
refusing offers for white cotton, al
though willing to sell the low grades
Houston advices said middling was
bringing 31.60 and higher grades 50
to Is points on.
An announcement issued by the War
Department said that cotton in the
Bush Terminal must be removed prior
TO February Is. There was some selling
oi January on this news and it closed
relatively lower than any other of the
old crop positions. The weather was
clear again in the Southwest. where
rain is needed. but the forecast for the
Eastern belt indicated more precipita
t'on and warmer. Exports were 1886
bales. making 2.246,927 so far this sea-
son against 2,l47,2l7 bales last year.
Southern spot markets as officially re-
ported were unchanged to 81 points

Why You Should Eat Oysters

The oyster production Of the United
States is the greatest in the world. 1t
can be made much greater because
vast areas Of unprCduotive bottom
can be made productive by oyster cul-
turc The Bureau Of Fisheries has
issued statement containing the fol-
lowing information:
"Thc purity Of oysters placed on
the market is now more assured by
United States and state inspection
and the cooperation of the large pro
ducers. Don't be afraid of green
gilled oysters. The gray. green color
which is of vegetable origin and de-
rived from their food, forms a deep
fringe within the open edge of the
oyster. Such oysters are often the
best and in France arc priced above
ell others.
Therefore eat oysters.
at is n duty to utilize this vast
food resource as far as possible and
save other foods of which there is a
dcarth. 1t is also a pleasure to use
the oyster. which in other countries
than ours is luxury rather than a
common food. 1t is not one of the
cheap foods when measured by the
cost Of it's useful constituents. but il
is valuable as an appetizing variant of
the diet. A reasonable variety of food
is necessary to the health Of civil
lied people.
"Thc oyster is without waste. Il,
gestible, wholesome and delicious, and
it may be prepared in many ways.

People Weary of War, on
Rations, Asserts Miss Gold
man, Here From Berlin
Papers Get All News
Teutons Read Wilson's Mes
sage, but Failed to Grasp
Its Meaning

While the people of Germany are liv-
lEg under rationing system which
provides much less food than was OBJ
talnabie before the war, conditions in
that country do not in the least ap-
proach famine, according to Miss Lii
lian Goldman, of this city. She was
formerly connected with the American
Embassy in Berlin and left the German
capital about two months ago. After
the United States went into the war
Miss Goldman entered the service of
the Dutch Embassy in Berlin and re-
ma med there until she left Germany
Although Germany is not starving
Miss Goldman said three and a half
years Of war have created q shortage in
necessaries that is felt throughout the
empire. and officials have averted
calamity only by establishing drastic
conservation measures.
Germans Weary Of War
"The people Of Germany" Miss Gold
man continued, "are weary of war. but
they believe continuation of the
struggle is necessary. The govern
ment exercises, and has exercised for
years, parentage over the people,
which places them in the same position
as a child who has never been away
from home and who has had his actions
planned for him. | do not think the
people as a whole are against their
7 l.
necessary to their own life
cit is mistake to assume that the
German newspapers do not print the
news of the world. President Wilson's
war addresses were published in Berlin
papers although they probably lost
some of their effect in translation, just
as speeches by German officials have in
translation into English.
Il read some of President Wilson's s
addresses in German papers, and re-
ceived in substance the same impress
sion that Americans in this country
received from them. The German peo-
pie are permitted to read these
speeches, but the system of govern
ment under which they have grown up
does not permit them to have full
understanding
War by L. S. Surprised Teutons
Germany did not realize the true
character of America before this coun-
try entered the war, Miss Goldman
said. The declaration of war was a
surprise. she added, to a people who
had convinced themselves that America
would not fight
81 do not know what the people of
Germany think of the ruthless subma-
rine policy" Miss Goldman added. "E
never heard the policy discussed, but
| am under the impression that the
people are leaving war policies to the
government, with the idea that any
thing is justihable il it will help Ger
many win the Srar.
81 am sure that when the German
people come to understand the determ-
nation of America and her Allies d
profound impression will be created.
which may lead them to demand an
end Of the war. Clearer understanding
they must have. They must be made
to see one country's relation TO the
world as a whole in the same light as
democratic peoples look upon it,

pected conclusion of the Irish conven-
ton this week. Among the reports is
one that today'S session. perhaps, will
be the fateful meeting which is to de-
eide whether the convention has been
success or a failure.
A Dublin dispatch to "The Times"
says that matters have taken a dis
appointing turn. which the newspaper
nterprets as meaning that the pros
pect Of an agreement is more remote.
Tho Daily Chronicle" says:
THE convention is now up against
tho most formidable obstacle. If this
can be negotiated succe ssfully, all will
be well. The Ulster Unionists have it
N their power to bring the labors OF
the convention to fruition or to make
them end in failure"
dispatch to "Thc Daily News" from
Dublin says that comment upon the
outlook there is a curious blend of
pessimism and optimism -pessinlism
as to the immediate and optimism as
TO the ultimate issue. The writer re-
iers TO drawing together of the Ma
t'cnalists and southern Unionists. leav-
ing the Belfast Unionists in greater
isolation than before.
An interesting political sidelight. the
correspondent adds, is cast by the
news that She Royal Irish Constabu-
larry and the Dublin Metropolitan Po-
lice sill be amalgamated as part of
general scheme of reconstruction of
the Irish government. which is ex-
peceed to come under conside ration
soon. Belfast is now policcd by the
Royal lish Con stabulary. and it is
understood that the amalgamation
would involve the disappearance Of the
old names which have unfortunate as
sociations. and that the new body will
be called the Irish Police Force.
