TEnEnAL POLICE CouRTs.

The attempted enforcement Of national pro-
hibltion hns gone far enough to establish two
very important facts: First six months on
forcoment effort has resulted In approciable
dlminution Of the traffic in liquor. but has
been boon OF inestimable advantage to specu-
lators in liquor; second, tho dignihed federal
courts Of the republic have been reduced In
character and practice to pohcc-court status.
Experience gained during this first ak months
OF national prohibition is anything but rcassur-
ing. Enforcement officers complain that they
have not sufficient funds or operatives to enable
them to accomplish much that is worth while;
that they DO not have the assistance OF either
the courts or the public and that their efforts
will be useless unless there Is change In all
respects
Millions OF dollars have been expended al
ready by enforcement officers. Yet convictions
nre rare II IL clearly evident that tho mere
effort to enforce the prohbtory law, not It's
actual enforcement, has already become very
sorious financial burden. The reason is at once
apparcnL Public opinion does not support the
enforcement officers or Justify their methods,
and the federal courts on which fall the burden
Of administering the law. keenly resent having
their tribunals turned into a cheap police court
We make no pretcnse Of asserting what the
conseouencc OF this will be. It Is automatic that
no law can he made stronger than the public
opinion behind IT, Unless and until public opin
ion calIs for a rigid enforcement Of tho Eigh-
tcenth amendment It will be a farcc--an expen-
.iyc Irritating, crime breeding farce So much
can be said without expressing the opinion that
ita enactment was mistake.
The resentment OF the federal courts is kconly
shared hy the bar and public generally Tho
effort OF our entire national life has been to-
establish a cultured, able and just federal iudi-
ciary II has been the practice Of no president
to nppoint an ordinary man to the federal
bench: tho requirements called for a man whose
learning and ability qualified him for much
greater income than tho position supplied, but
whose nature prompted him TO accept the ap-
pointmcnt and make the sacrifice IN the IN
tercst Of the system itself
To require such tyne OF men to turn their
courts over TO booze cases is not only an insult
IA the men themselves, but a vicious blow az
tho tudicinl system which has been so long In
course OF construction. Able men have already
resigned from the bench because OF the increas-
ing number OF policc-court cases calling Tor
their time and talents others will follow, as
soon as It becomes clearly apparent that the
existing condition is to become permanent
Tho result will inevitably he medtocrity on
the federal bench with important litigation sut-
fcrinr delays and faulty adjudication as a CON
sequence Unless the state courts take over the
enforcement of the Volstcad act, congress may
be called on to create a system of federal police
courts In sheer defense OF the federal judiciary

Of the beauties OF that form OF government is

nominee Is making a straightout
fight against the Versailles treaty

statement that the league is our

nose the case far enough to appre-
hend that the end is near, and he
will not be elected to stay any great

CANADA RAISES
OCEAN OF GRAIN
Total Of Wheat Crop in
Sacks Would Reach Twice
Around World.

II Canada's entire wheat crop of
2Ss. $4,000 bushels were sacked and
the sacks were laid end to end. II
would form a line that would reach
twice around the earth at the equa-
tor There would be enough sacks
to make eighteen continuous rows
stretching from Montreal to Van
couver in a highway of wheat suffi-
GENTLY wide for an automobile to
travel upon.
This computation is based upon
figures given out by the Canadian
department. Of agriculture which
show that 100000. 900 bushels of the
crop will be required at home to
feed the Canadian people and for
seed purposes. This will leave an
exportable surplus of $4,000. 900
bushels which is enough to furnish
over 25.oOo.oo0 people with bread for
one year.
More than two bushels OF oats will

wheat, according to the same gov
ernment authority. The oats crop
is estimated at .556,0o0,0O0. which is
the largest In the history of Canada
and about 10000, 900 bushels more
than the previous record crop Of
1915.
The production of barley through

compared with 56.3ss.O0o bushels in

Experts to Consider Rea,
sons for Queer Fluctua-
tons in Live Stock.

Sudden fluctuations in livestock
prices, which have beon a disturbing
economic factor to producers. ship
pers, commission men and meat
packers. have resulted in the ap-
pointmAnt of a committee to work
out a plan for stabilizing the mar
ket. The committee will represent
members of livestock exchanges
whose collective sales of hogs, cat
tie and sheep amount annually to
over $4,000. 1000. 900.
Everett c. Brown, president of the
National Livestock Exchange of
Chicago. said II Is hoped to WORK
out "a remedy that will benefit the
whole industry as well as the pub
lic." The committee includes Emil
Ingerwersen, T. w. Jerrems. s.
Bruce Stafford, Mr.. Brown, and rep
resentatives of the leading packers.
In a single week hog prices de-
clined nearly 50 a 100 pounds.
Grain men point out that while de-
clines in livestock prices and prices
of various other commodities have
been most marked. politicians and
agitators have directed their attacks
almost exclusively at the grain ex-
changes. 1t is argued that the grain
price declines were perfectly atural,
in view of the bumper crops, heavy
of wheat from Canada.
and the general price readjustment
under way throughout the world.
Just what action will be followed
by the committee dealing with the
subjec. of livestock prices has not
