 Industrial Boom

Washington, Dec. 31. - Contin- ual industrial activity is predict ed by the committee on statistics of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in it's annual end of the year review of busi- ness and crop conditions. Manu- lecturers, the report said, have orders in excess of their capacity and in the retail trade there is a feeling of confidence of the con- tinuation, until another harvest at least, of the de9and for all classes of con Ss.
 Farmers ted unusually prosperous be A of the high prices of their xhcts. The liber- al spending of the farmers, the re- view asserted, is the backbone and sustaining power of the present volume of business thruout the country as they are paying mostly cash and are purchasing more im- proved farm machinery and pure bred livestock than ever before.
 Great activity in building," the committee added" is reported in sections except where crop failures were extensive, copper mining is in a poor state, silver mining is doing well, oil production s god \"

Hemp Producing
 Industry is Hit

Washington, Dec. 31. - Condi- tions in 9 hemp producing sec tions osaYucatan, Mexico, result ing from the action of Mexican government officials are alarm ing, Michael J. Smith, of New York, a hemp merchant testified at hearing conducted today by Francisco J. Fearful, counsel for 'senate subcommittee investiga- ting Mexican affairs.
 "Unless something is done to relieve the situatlon," Smith said, "it is practically certain that within a few years the farmers of the United States will be without binder twine for their crops."
 Smith said the planters had been robbed by the Mexican authori- ties and were on the verge Of bankruptcy. Because of the mono- polistic practices exercised by Mexican authorities for the pur. pose of controlling hemp produc- tion and prices American farmers, Smith testified, paid an excess of $112,500,000 from 1916 to 1919.

 Government witnesses, it is said, have proved" that "friendl y rela- tions," existed between Jenkins and his alleged captor while they were at the villages of Santa Maria and San Bernabe. MT. Jenkins, it is declared, was not blindfolded and was aware of the location of the place where he was hidden in spite of MT. Jenkins claims to the contrary. The tele- gram added that the second Puebla criminal court was continuing it's investigation of the case.
 It was decided by the supreme court yesterday that the federal district court should have jurisdic- tion in the Jenkins case.

REVISING LITERATURE.

Now that certain Jewish in fluences in Newark have arranged to have the Merchant of Venice" eliminated from the schools be- cause it is apt, they allege, to pre- judice the young mind against the Jewish character, along come tht Scotch and put in a protest on 'Mdcbeth." It's pretty hard on a good old Scot who has been noted for nothing more than nursing nickels and playing golf, to go to a theatre and see a Scotchman portrayed as man of unscrupu- lous ambition, murderer, etc. "If you clean the Jewish gaberdine," says Andy McTavish, captain or the Highlanders, you must re- move the stain from the kits"
 It is now in order for the Ma tional Society for the Advance ment of Colored People to attack "Othello." We wouldn't be sur prised to hear from certain districts in Chicago that "Othello" had been eliminated from the schools, because it gives wrong impression of dark man (Othello having used a pillow whereas his modern brethren use a razor.)
 If they keep it up, and yield, as seems the habit of school board majorities to the peculiar preju- dices of minorities, they may cl,- minate the entire list of Shakes peare's plays from the school curriculum. Which would prove a boon to many youngster who finds the language too complex and the print too small.

THE WARS EFFECTS.

There never has been a time IT recent years when crime was So ranpant as at the present. Deaths by violence, burglaries, safe rob- berries, holds-ups--the whole gamut of offenses that few years ago were few and far be- tween-now are ordinary occur rences.
 When the war came to an end and the painful period of recon struction began, we had series of racial conflicts. Then we had in, dustrial outbursts that destroyed millions of dollars worth of property and killed many people. Now we are having an orgy of in- dividual crimes, an outburst on the part of men, women and chill dren of all ages and of all sta tions in life, of moral perversioa that most of us did not think could exist.
 We are told by the ologists and the experts on isms that this is an after "effect of the war"
 Perhaps it is, and perhaps, with the return to normal, if that re- turn ever comes, it will all pass away and we'll be law-abiding, honest people again.
 However, there is more to present day lawlessness that the effects of war. In large degree, crime is rampant today merely be- cause many of us are getting our first opportunity to exercise our natural lawless impulses.
 In many cases the war has had this effect and this effect only. It has lifted the barriers to natural ly criminal and savage instincts that were held back only by strict law enforcement under peaceful, moral conditions.
 Any great change that brought about the lessening of the laws restraint would have set the same forces to working.
 It doesn't come easy to admit that great many of us are bad, but in the face of present events it is an admission that can scarce ly be avoided.

Mr. Strernleau has done much. for organ ized labor and in appreciation he has been rewarded by positions that gives him returns suffic cient so that he does not have to work at his trade He is an able man. He is the possessor of excellent judgment and this is shown in his appointment of @ New London boy as one of the trio of inspectors, He has named Frederic E. Fengar. Jr.. who will aid him in law enforcement. for the inspectorship. The appontee' $ father at one time was a deputy col lector of the port of New London and has held some city offices and is now employed in local bank.
 The new appointee is twenty two years of age and therefore could not have been voter for more than one year. This is shown that he was not appointed as a reward for political services. He is in luck in getting this
 new job, as he resigned only a few days ago a job as cost inspector in the navy department, at Heboken Young Mir. Fengar, by reason of his age and the fact that he is not very widely known. ought to develope into quite sleuth even in his old home town. It is sair that the young man
 is possessed of much ability and will prove most competent prohibition inspector. His friends will extend congratulations and wish him success There are many in New London who are of the opinion that a general vote of thanks ought to be given to .Di- rector Stremleau for his excellent
