ENFORCING PROHIBITION.

Evifence locally and from about the state is to the effect that the much needed enforcement of the prohibition law has been started Regardless of conditions which were known to exist and regardless of promises that had been made to the effect that the rem edy would be applied liquor selling was going on without restraint. Prohibition lad come to be the joke that so many tad insisted that it would be- In spite of the law It was being disregarded daily, so much So that liquor, of varying qualities. could be obtained in most any quantity at greatly advanced prices.
 To many it meant that prohibition could not be enforced. To others it meant that practically no effort was be- ing made to enforce it and that condi- tions were worse than when license was being collected. Perhaps it required just that situation in order to get pub. lie sentiment aroused to the point where it would insist upon different courss being followed. But whether it did ol not, or whether the time has passed wher d provision of the state law made it difficult 10 prosecute, it is appareni that in a number of cities throughou the state there is a determined effort te ing made to clean up the illegal con1i tions and bring about an observance c the law.
 It is to be noted that 1t meaus th, activity of local police where they hat been inactive along that line heretofore It has been established that it is possi ble to proceed against those engaged il the liquor business under state as wei as federal law and if the present cam paign, is an indication a cooperation of local, state and federal authorities t be expected.

HARDING TO THE SENATE.

It is an unusual thing for a president elect to speak from the floor of the United States senate, but such has not been done before because no one was ever picked out of the senate to become president of the country. Thus Presi- dent-elect Harding was not establishing a precedent in contrast to the policies of others elected to the highest office in the land but because he was the first to have the opportunity,
 MT. Harding, as was expected, took god care to observe the full proprieties of the situation under which he respond ed to the senate's recognition and in de- livering his valedictory, wherein he took occasion to speak of the responsibilities that rested upon the shoulders of the senate. he took rap at the talk about senatorial oligarchy and in fitting words lee 1t b- known that there is business before the body that needs to be tended 10 and not delayed. That he should give no indication of what his policy is going to be was proper, but it is to be noted that he doesn't underestimate the task that is before the new administra. ton. for he said: I've are facing nc -eAes NtA7hs ffV nave Our lull part III the readiEstment of human affairs after the world tumult We have our tasks al loma and we have our part in the in. evitahle woik of he civilized worldn anJ the est efforts must be made 'to at tain the ends which become our republit at home and will maintain it's high place among the nations of the earth"
 When he declared that it would be hi ambition to insure better teamwork be- tween the two branches of the govern men. he referred, without desiring tt eriticise the present administration, to . situation which calls for improvement and when he told the senate that "Thre, months of the present administration re main and l would have house and sen ate join cordially in making them fruit iul rather than wasted months" it wa. plea for meeting rathe- than delayin, the needs of the country and in keepin, with the supplementary statement to th effect that there should be "unanimou recognition that there are no party end to serve but precious days calling fo service 10 our common country"

rHE REsuLT oF DELAY.

Delay is what has been responsible for much of the trouble that has been experienced by the Armenians since the ending of the war and delay appears to have created more eonaplica tions in con- nection with the plan which has recently been endorsed by the league of nations assembly for dealing with the situation in that new republic.
 The way in which the Armenians had been killed off by the Turks called for early action on the part of the allied na- tions in order to give them protection against just such massacres from those Turks in the future. There was dilIy dallying in the hope that this country could be prevailed upon to accept the mandate for that country. There was 9 determination that We should accept it in spite of the fact that it was emphat- ically stated that We would not. In the meantime no other method of protecting the people was provided. They have been subject to attack from such of the Turks as refused to abide by the treaty and from the bolsheyik forces coming down from Russia.
 With the Armenians facing extermi nation the assembly of the league be came aroused and. decided that there should be an effort made to arbitrate tht differences between the Armenians ant the Turks and those who are to serv' in the capacity as mediaters have vol unteered for that work. It means deal l ing with Turkish force that is not rec ognized by any of the nations but be fore it has been possible to start ol such work the belsheviki have taken tn Armenian capital and possibly for sel protection the Armenian government ha announced that a soviet government ha been established. The Arnenians al still there but apparently under bolshf vik influences and bolshevism doesn't al pear any more strongly to the leadin
 nations of Europe than does the positio
 of the Turkish nationalists.
 The longer the adjustment of the Al menian problem is delayed the mol
 complicated it becomes but it cannot

 additional troubles can be directly a

THE 5. N. E. ROAD.

Because ot, the large amount of money that has already been sunk in the exten- sion of that Crank Trunk line from Pal mer to Providence any move which is made to preserve the right some time in the future to redeem what has been spent and resume the construction of the line is looked upon as definite determl- nation to do so but if the difficulty in getting funds was such as to end the job before it was completed in spite of tiis investment already made the prospects are certainly no better today, while tho fight between the roads that once exist ed does not prevail today.
 Thus when the Southern New England road, as that extension was to be known as, seeks to get an extension Of time in which to complete the road it is more reasonable to regard it as a measure of protection rather than any definite decls- ion to go ahead with the project within the next three years, the period for which it asks for the protection of it's rights
 Just at the present time railroads have ways of utilizing all the dollars they can secure for the maintenance of the sys- tens and the operation of the lines with- out putting large sums into such prop osition as this extension. It was a scheme that was always looked upon with much doubt and one that was re- sorted to in order to win in a fight of policies The Grand Trunk had then and still has an outlet on the Southefn New England coast at New London and the betterment of that Central Vermont line could be accomplished with much less expense than the new extension to Providence, while as to port facilities t is amply provided and the distance by water to New York is less by half and on an inside course.
 Railroads are not rushing into such propositions today except on a business basis and certainly if the completion oi the line was not justified while the con tractors were on the job it is unreason, able to believe that under present day conditions it will be resumed. It is nat ural, however, for the road not to relin- quish rights that it isn't obliged to.

JEWS DENoUNcE ATTACK.

In the public statement which has been made by the committee represent ing Jewish organizations of this country called 10 a document known as "The protocols of the elders of Zion" who had no knowledge of it's existence or that through it's attacks were being made up- on the Jews of the world. But in view of the claims that the Jews are now and have been for centuries engaged in a conspiracy to dominate the world there Is felt the need of refuting such a statement, for even though it is known to be baseless the danger of having 1t accepted as a fact by not depouncing it is recognized.
 The committee representing the organ nations of Jews in a lengthy statement not only decry the unjust attack but they point out with telling effect that there has never been any such organiza- ton as the elders of Zion and that the proof of the authenticity of the docu. ment and the protocols Is absolutely lacking. The protocols they term 9 forgery and they deny conspiracy witt any organization.
 Much mystery surrounds the document the original of which is said to have been handed by a woman to an office. holder in Russia and by him given to a Russian named Nilus in 1901. It is nn. signed and while 1t is claimed to have been approved by the first Zionist con Eress four years previously, the fact i,

THEY HAD ABUNDANT FISH

 All the way over to Michigan John Kept reminding me that I must not forget to order the cornmeal in which to roll those fish, because dipping them in four was atrocious. There was everything, John informed me, in the flavor, delicate, dainty and satisfying. Fish, fresh from the translucent depths of the lake-that was food for gods and men
 T cannot-deny that I admired the first string of speckled bass that John brought home an(. dumped cheerfuly on the kitchen table regardless oi delicateiy Havoring the custard pie l was making. 1 tempered his joy somewhat when l re-
 minded him that those fish must be be- headed and cleaned, but he rallied nobly and retired beyond the Woodshed and We had the bass for dinner. John fished at night and he iished in the morning and usually he spent most of the day fishing and presently my admiration fer the fish grew somewhat and he himself was heard to murmur that he didn't see why fish could not grow without scales.
 There was no ferry to the village in the fall, but what cared We, asked John with our well stocked pantry and box of supplies We had brought over and the lake full of fish? Somehow, everything cooked began to taste of fish.

GOyERSMEST WINS CASE
 AGAINST LEHIGH VALLEY B. R

Washington. Dec. s.-The Lihigh Val. ley railroad case, the second and last oi the great anthracite coai-snti-trust cases. was won today by the government
 The supreme court. in the unanimous opinion of the seven members psrticpai- ing. held that the existing combination of the railroad and its principal subsidiary companies was in violation of the Sher- man antitrust act and. reversing the lower court. ordered entering of decree diSsolying the combination and redis;rib- uting the stocks. bonds and properties s1 as to make each component part in fac independent and competitive.
 Specifically named in the order of dis solution were the Lshigh Valley railroad company, the Lehigh Valley Coal com pany, the Lehigh Valley Coal Sales com pany, Coxe Brothers & Company. and the Delaware, Susqushanna & Schuylkill rail- road company. The court dismissed the bill so far as it namhd the New York and Middleheld Railroad and Coal com pany and individual dependents.
 Justices McReynolds and Brsndeis took no part in the consideration of the case it was announced.
 The opinion of the court. as read by Justice Clarke, sustained in unequivocal language practically every contention raised by the government in its brief l. was held that the Lehigh Valley railroad through the coal company of the same 1 name and other subsidiaries. monc2olized the production. transportation and sale Of anthracite coal from the mines located along it's lines; that this monopoly was sustained through illegal preference to the subsidiaries, and that the organization of the Coal Sales company was in fact 2 mere device to -circumvent the so-callso | c1a aF s1f r1- merce act. which forbids a common car rier to transport coal in which 1t has any 1 interest.
