PRoHlHs' SHARP PRACTICE.

New York World: The suit filed in
the United States district court carries
with it the assurance thar the consti-
nationality Of the prohibition clause of
the agricultural appropriation act OF
November 81, 1918, will be thoroughly
tested. 1t is time that the people OF
this country find out where they stand
in the matter. Among millions OF law
abiding persons the strong conviction
prevails that only by sharp practice
and double dealing was the present
situation created. II they have any
rights left. it is a fact worth moving.
Ii they have just grievance, 1t should
be promptly redressed.
The prohibition provision was put
through congress under false pre-
lenses as war emergency measure
at the time the war was literally over
and the armistice signed. The Ameri-
can people had never taken prohibit
ton seriously. They had never looked
on it as possible, for their wishes had
never been consulted. 1t was put
through on the sly, by the trick of
lacking rider on an appropriation
bill.
There never was any doubt of the
readiness of the people to assent to
any sacrifices required of them in or
der to win the war. They were pre-
pared to deny themselves food OF drink
or any necessaries when occasion de-
manded. The prohibitionists reasoned
that they could take advantage OF this
spirit to carry through their scheme,
and even after the armfstice was
signed and the emergency was over
beyond all chance of returning, they
persisted In their game of deception.
The war prohibition clause was con-
ceived in bad faith and dishonesty. 1t
was written into thte statutes through
a kind fraud not to be forgiven; it
was foisted upon the country through
plain hypocrisy masking as loyalty in
time Of war. When exposed, the au-
thors of the scheme boosted of their
cunning in overreaching the public.
Whether or not the courts hold the
prohibition provision to be valid, it
will remain one Of the most discred-
liable chapters in the history of Amer
lean legislation.

RIGIDITY or DISCIPLINE.

Probably too much faith should not be put
IA the report that one detachment Of our troops
was detained in France over the sailing Of the
Transport they should have boarded because 1T
was discovered the men had not the number OF
pnttee Iaces required by regulations. Such
rightly of discipline seems rather too exag-
gerafed To warrant belief. But there is and has
been in our army q rgidity Of discipline that
may be deemed necessary by men that ought TO
know but which does not add strength 10 the
total discipline. For rgidity IL not 80 strong
many times as flexibility. The trouble comes
when an attempt is made 10 practice flexlbIlity
through a great organization A commanding
general might discipline his men with flexibil-
ity determined by his judgment Of particular
cases, but il all the commanders OF great
arrny were 10 be given this privilege, the con
fusion can be imagined Yet certain amount
Of freedom from the rightly OF the rule sue
eeesfl troop commanders do take and must
take. A wise Judge will manage to apply the
spirit of the law and not the letter when the
former best serves justice. In the disputes
and larnentable bandying Of accusations begun
ia The war department it is possible to see as
underlying cause the rigidity Of discipline un-
relaxed by wise Judgment. There are dangers

ybdis Of legend Relaxed discipline make a
good organization with work to do doubtful
possibility; rightly Of discipline untempered
brings injustice suffering and a resentment
that the organization has to bear to It's msfor-
tune. The remedy would be found in wise
leadership everywhere.
Now this is interesting to note because we are
playing seesaw with the notion OF merging con

A SELFISH VIEWPOINT.

Burlington Gazette: The Gazette Is
not DESTROYS OF starting prolonged
argument Of the matter Of the day
light saving law. No matter what Is
written for or against the law. 1t will
not be repealed before 1t Is placed
in operation for the second time, as
congress failed to do 60 at the ses-
sion just closed and the matter must
be brought up again at a special ses-
sion, which will be held In June. That
congress will repeal the law at that
time is doubtful.
An Illinois resident submitted A
communication on tn subject yester-
day that ernDodies a rather selfish
viewpoint. He evidently Is a farmer
and walls loud over the hardship en-
tailed to farmers by reason OF the
enforcement of the daylight saving
law. The farmer is not required to
arise any earlier than usual or TO
retire earlier than usual under the
provisions OF the law. The farmer
must make hay while the sun shines.
He has no regular hours for work.
When the weather permits, he is at

his crops are harvested he enjoys a

RARITY OF OUTSTANDING MEN.

the nobler sort. The race does not produce
them normally, prolifcally. They are not near

people, puzzled by their mysterious appearance
in unexpected families and environments with
nothing in their visible antecedents to explain
their advent, have conJectured that they were

their exaggerated tendency to refer all mental
facts TO biological causes, speculate that genius,

Exceptional persons, IS really morbid, degener-

Hence is not often found, fact which was noted
by an ancient and accurate observer of men and
things, who pointed out that 'tgreat men are
not always wise' and years do not bring all
men understanding.

Henry Ward Beecher had just spoken and TAX

the world had waited long time for the eo-

that the outstanding men Of the nobler sort are

they come or how or where to look for their

HULL FISHERIES
MAKE FORTUNES
(By Associated Press)

Hull, England, Mapril Is (By MaiD
Fortunes from fish are being piled
up by skippers operating out of Hull.
All through the war their profits were
so tremendous that they now consti-
tute a kind of local plutocracy. They
have town houses and country houses
and garages filled with motor cars.
There are now about ninety skip
pers working their vessels out of
this port. The majority are rough
sailors, with a rule-of-thumb knOWl-
edge of navigation, and curious ideas
about the best way to spend their
huge earnings.
For several years many OF them
have been netting from $4,000 to
$4,000 annually. One is SAID to
have averaged close on the 100000.
A record is held by the skipper
of a trawler which last fall made the
Iceland voyage twice within siv weeks,
returning from the first trip with q
little less than 100000 worth of fish,
and from the second with a little more
than that amount. The skipper's net
profit from the two trips was some
thing like $4,000. The second vOy-
age lasted only seventeen days.
Owners of the fishing craft, who
take none of the risks the shippers
face. make even more money. A boat
which hardly would have been thought
worth sending to sea before the war,
can be counted on now to bring in net
profits at the rate of more than $780,
900 a year. Wild speculations are go
ing on in trawlers, the boats chang
ing hands at ridiculous prices.
1t is a gamble against time, for
when the .trawlers now engaged in
mine-sweeping are released from that
work the fishing fleet here will be
tripled and fish profits will drop ac-
ccrdingly.

ARMY INVESTED
GREAT SUM IN
MULES, HORSES
(Bv Associated Pressl

Dallas, Tex. May 10.-DemObiliza-
ton of the army mule and horse is
going forward raridly, according to
figures on government sales just com
piled by c. 0. Moser, livestock in
spectOr of the purchasing quarter
master.
The figures shows that during the
war the government bought 115,000
head of horses and mules at total
cost of $27,000,000, in the Southern
and Central purchasing zones, When
hostilities ended the government
owned about 100000 head of horses
and mules-300 900 in the United
States and 100000 in France-only
10000 of the latter number having
been shipped from this country.
Because of the big demand for
these animals on Central West farms,
the government has been hurrying
distribution, and when auctions nov
advertised are completed 10000 ami
mails will have been placed back on
farms since January 1.
Cavalry horses cost the government
an average of $1G5, artillery horses
$3.50, and mules $50, according to
these figures. IA the sales cavalry
horses have brought an average Of
S85, artillery horses $3.50 ana draft
mules $160. The sales have included
many wornout animals, some selling
for as little as $40. On the other
hand, many animals have brought
fancy prices.
