DemObiIiIation Is Here, but IntOX-
lcRnts Are Not.

The announcement of the War De-
partment that "the accidents of war
and the progress of demobilization are
at an end" may have raised the hopes
Of the thirsty, but the Attorney Gen.
eral dashes the cup away by saying
that rehabilitation is not enough. Mr..
PALMER says the treaty must be rati-
fed before war time prohibition will
disappear.
Those who are so wicked that they
would return to the flowing bowl be-
fore 1t goes dry next January "for
years. or it may be forever" as Kath-
leen's serenader sang, based their ex-
pectatlons on the phrase they remem-
bered. "the termination of mobiliza-
ton" They forgot that Public Law
No. 243 is to hold in force until the
conclusion Of the present war and
thereafter until the termination of
mobilization" Congress innocently
put the cart before the horse.
Another phrase remembered by
those who pant for the bottle Is that
which Mr.. WILSON uttered dramati-
cally TO the Congress on November IL
last: "Tho war thus comes to an
end" But was this legally true? In
the case of the United States VS.,

Church Of England to Retain Vow
in Its Service.

From tho LONDON INiot.
1t is reported that the elimination of
the word "obey" from the brides nuptial
vow in the marriage service is recon-
mended by a commission of the Episco-
pal Church of America on the revision
and enrichment of the prayerbook- We
are told that this proposal to abandon
the woman's promise of obedience is
the result Of protests which have been
gathering strength throughout the
United States for many years, and that
some OF the clergy and many ministers
OF other religious bodies have long
ceased to ask for It, We hear similar
protests occasionally in England.
The revision Of the prayerbook in
England. which is now being completed,
suggests no such revolutionary pro-
posals as those reported to be contem-
plated In the American Church, and II
Is plain that contracting parties in the
Church Of EngianS will be called upon
to repeat the present form Of the
espousals and betrothal.

A BONUS TO THE JANIToR,
Unsportsmanllke Method Used b.
Some Flat Hunters.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
experience OF william F. Heide. who re-
turned with his family from the country
and found his apartment in the process
Of redecoration for another tenant in
spite of the fact that his lease held until
October 1, serves to bring to mind the
fact that certain superintendents and
janitors Of apartment houses in which
dwellers are not protected by leases are
indulging in a form of graft that Is rep
rehenslble, to say the least.
No doubt some who have been VIC
tins OF the practice are now aware that
this form of graft actually exists, but
the general public does not and 1t is high
time to throw the spotlight on in oruer
to discourage the practice and put the
public on it's guard.
The method Is 80 simple that even the
greenhorn janitor who can speak very
little English can work it successfully.
For instance, the head OF family re-
turning from the country has difficulty
in finding a vacant fat or apartment IN
which to reside for the winter. He is
informed that the Janitor Of certain
house is open TO reason and he pro-
poses to the latter that In return for an
apartment in his house he will give a
bonus of ;25.
With the oonus bait held temptinsly
before him It is only natural for the
janitor TO make every effort to obtain It..
But somebody has got to be the goat.
Usually 1t is family in which there are
a number of chi,Sren, for It is easy to
get something on the latter by means of
which the janitor can make things so un-
comfortable that the head of the family
will make every effort to find another
place and get out. When this occurs the
purpose has been accomplished and the
janitor collects the bonus.
in houses in which the fixing Of rents
rests with the janitor. and there are a
number of these, he finds II compara-
lively easy to get q vacant apartment
BY boosting q certain tenants rent sky

"Rsee Is Greater imam LAW, ;,

The Senators from Nebraska not
having risen to defend lynch law, Sem
ator JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS of Mis-
sissippi, whose knowledge of his own
State should make him an expert on
the subject. appeared as advocate
for the Omaha mob. We quote
striking bit from his remarks:
Race is greater than law now and
then. and protection Of women tran
scends all law. human and divine"
This is a variation Of the excuse
given by the lawless everywhere.
The Bolshevist pleads that his might
Is greater than the law; and he ap-
pears in better light than Mr.. WILL
IAMs because bolshevism first goes
through the process of savagely de-
molishing the law.
The exponent of sabotage cries out
that his passion to subvert industry
Is greater than the law and he pro-
ceeds along the lines laid down in
WILLIAM Y. Fosters red book. He
paraphrases the senior Senator from
Mississippi by remarking that syndi-
callsm transcends all law, whether
human or divine.
Perhaps half the criminals who kill
OF steal believe that their particular
causes are greater than the law; but
the law itself, representing the major
ity Of the people, sends the criminal
to prison. There he has an opportun-
ity to explain his social views to his
fellow prisoners. But no reporter for
the Congressional Record is at hand
to note down his statement.
A foreigner unfamiliar with this
country might take it, from Senator
WnLIAMs's remark about the protec-
ton Of women, that our laws were de-
signed to prevent them from being
protected The fact Is, Of course, that
the State of Nebraska has been free
to impose the death penalty for the
objectionable crime. Its people, how
ever, set the maximum punishment at
twenty years. In Mr.. WILLIAMs's
own State death may be the penalty,
yet there have been cases where the
Mississippi criminal, after having been
legally condemned to death, has been
taken by the mob and lynched. :.
It is not the initial crime that is at
issue, particularly when the people
may infiict death lawfully II they vote
to do so. It Is the crime Of the mob; ;
and the mob kills, not to avenge
wrong but to vent its blood lust. The
worst individual in Omaha on Sunday
was the negro assailant, Brown. The
best individual was SMITH, the Mayor
who tried to fulfil the letter and spirit
of his oath. But the mob applied Its
blind and cowardly rage alike to both
of these men!
Race is greater than law now and
then" 1t is curious that these words
should come from a supporter of the
Wilson Covenant. Suppose that the
League should become a fact, and
that some day one of its members.
say a great Oriental nation. should
rise in new found strength, blazing
with a racial pride that had smoul-
dered for centuries. and say to the
Council: International law is all
very well at times, but in the words

greater than law now and then
