booze. The people, it was asserted,
would not stand for such thing. It
would incite to lawlessness. Persons
in possession or in reach Of the neces-
sary ingredients would defy the Law
and produce the "stuff" "Moonshin
ing" would become a settled, popu-
lar and a profitable industry. Never
theless, the tax was imposed.
"Moonshining" followed. But it did
not become popular or profitable. 1t
was confined to hill countries and to
"hillbillies." 1t never reached the pro-
portions Of an industry. The authori-
ties kept close watch, broke up the
little stills wherever found, and
jailed their owners and operators. The
tax was collected, and became 4 large
item in the revenue needed by the
government.
The prediction as to the tax failed
because of the vigilance and determi-
nation Of the authorities. They took
the law seriously and did their duty.
Wherever they found lawbreaker
they nabbed and punished him; and
they kept their eyes "pceled' for per
sons mocking or disposed to mock the
law. They made it risky to mock the
law. A man with the ingredients to
produce booze found it exceedingly
difficult to produce it and escape the
governments tax.
If that example is CO., Il now--and
there is every reason to expect it will
be-prohibition can be enforced. The
law, in the main, can be made eff
fective. There will be violators, of
course. Strong drink established
strong hold on its patrons, and the
more slavish of them will take risks to
crafty their appetite. But if the au-
thorities do their full duty and stalk
offenders, the law can be administered
in the spirit Of its enactment, and all
the benefits to the public desired and
expected from it realized. And just
as "moonshiners" failed to prevent,
and, later, to break down, the govern
ment tax on booze, so will "lushers"
fail to break down the legislation
which has put, and should keep, booze
on the "blink.'

The line Of attack seemed to lend it.
self to rhetorical flouYishes.
We know now, or should know, the
value of preparedness. If we have not
learned from our experience in the
past three years the necessity Of pre-
paredness, we are unable to learn even
in the dearest school known to man
kind.
As for the extravagances of speech
which have marked some of our po-
litieal campaigns, if we are not dis
gusted at hearing them repeated in
substance by foreigners harboring in
this country in the hope of seeing its
institutions overturned, we are lacking
in the proper feeling; and if we are
not warned by the imitation to take
in the slack of our tongues, and in our
criticisms have some regard for facts
and show some appreciation Of pro-
portion, we shall be certain to see ma

Americans are in possession of
America, and can hold it against all
eomers. But in guiding by the shib-
boleth, "America first" they must have
regard constantly for the country's
size. its wealth, and for the fact that
this is world of contention. We must
put the proper appraisement of what
we have, what we stand for as ma
ton, and what as a nation we have
accomplished. The American who, for
any purpose. partisan or other. belit-
ties his country and its institutions,
and thus tips the arrows of enemies,
foreign or domestic, is unworthy to

The Law and Red Licker."

An argument like this comes from
wet sources: "The eighteenth amend
ment cannot be enforced. The people
will not have it. It is Objectionable to
their idea Of personal liberty. It puts
shackles on them; and in . free coun-
try shackles are obnoxious. Efforts to
enforce it will require heavy expense,
and cause no end of trouble, and then
fail. Abandon it. Forget it. Let's 90

the people are familiar. The drink

imperative School Needs.

Investigation by the Senate suDcom-
mittee of the cause of the troubled
conditions in public school admins
tration should not cause any delay in
the provision of an adequate teaching
force and equipment for the school
system and for proper scale of pay
for the teachers. Nothing that can
possibly develop in the course Of the
inquiry will in any degree lessen the
need Of a materially enlarged build
ing plant and an augmented teach
ing force. Nothing that the subcom-
mittee of the Senate can discover as
to the origin and extent of the pres
ent school unsettlement can reduce the
cost of living for the teachers and
their urgent necessity for higher
rate of compensation.
The District appropriation bill is now
being written in the House. 1t should
carry generous provision for the
schools, regardless of what the Senate
committee may be learning in respect
to administrative tangles and frictions.
Ii it is impossible to write securely
into the appropriation bill items for
school enlargement, in buildings and
personnel, legislative bills should be
brought into the House and Senate and
pushed to enactment speedily.
If all the trouble causing elements
are cleared away and the schools are
put securely upon sound foundation
again through some measure Of re-
organization, there will still be need
Of more buildings, to care for the
steady and recently rapid growth Of
the capital, to replace the makeshift
portables and to insure provision for
the future development. Not even the
enlargement of the teaching force pro-
vided for in q recent enactment as an
emergency measure sufices to lessen
the strain under which the instructors
in the schools are working and to in.
sure good teaching in all the grades.
There is no need for particularized
demonstration of the condition in the
school system that calls for immediate
relief. It is plain that there are not
enough buildings and that provision
for those now urgently needed will
call for large expenditure, covering
several years of construction work
Any delay only adds to the magnitude
of the problem and the ultimate cost.
There are not enough teachers to con-
duet the classes now assembled, and
assuredly not enough to care for those
that will assemble next September.
The teachers are not paid sufficiently
to hold them in service against the
temptations offered by the higher
scales prevailing in private employ
ment.
More buildings, more teachers and
more pay are all essential to the well
fare of the Districts school system,
whatever the Senate subcommittee may
find and whatever Congress may do in
consequence of its disclosures and con-
clusions.

The Country's Danger.

In one of his recent stump deliver
ances Gen. Wood said: "The danger
in this country is not the alien red.
He is simply nuisance. The danger
is our own indifference"
The record supports the assertion.
Until three years ago we had acted for
long time as though We had the
world in sling. The richest of the
nations, and with all other nations of
consequence armed to the teeth, we
were practically defenseless. We had
no Army, and our Navy was conspicu-
ously too small. "Who's afraida" was
the response to every appeal in behalf
Of preparedness. Mr.. Bryan seemed to
be Of the opinion that, at a single
definite signal of danger, million men
would spring to arms one day, and be
ready for battle the next. Taking am
pie. care of America looked as easy to
him as falling off log.
Nor, speaking Of the alien red,
should we forget that in some Of his
widest spoutings he has but echoed
sentiments he had heard from native
sources. Some Of our stump orators
have been going almost as far as the
sosp-box orators in criticising our gov
ernment and its processes. They have
charged freely that money ruled; that
. fsv men dictated and hogged every
thing; that executives, legislatures, sad
courts we're g plutocratie command
