ST. ALBANS. Oct. pr. \. Bull
lock of Albany, \. Y, appeared before
United States Commissioner Charles T..
Watson yesterday afternoon charged
with smuggling liquor into this country.
He furnished bail of $500 for his ap-
pearance at the December term of United
States district court. This was the
fourth important liquor seizure in this
vicinity within a week.
About 1890 O'Clock Monday evening,
a big Pierce-Arrow touring car was
stopped at Morse's Line just inside of
the international boundary line and
found to contain about $50 bottles of
choice liquors. The car is unofficially
valued around $4,000 while the contra
band is valued at $4,000.
The custom men. w. W. Wordsworth,
stationed at Highgate. and II. G.. Mullin
at Franklin, were patrolling the road
when the car came along the highway at
a good speed. The driver was ordered to
stop and he swung out of the road as if
to pass The customs officers drew their
guns and Bullock brought the car to a
staudstill. The haul included cordials,
whislley, brandy and gin. 1t is said that
this is not the first time that this large
car has been through this vicinity this
season.

URGES THREE-YEAR
THRIFT CAMPAIGN
American Bankers Committee Would
Reach Every Family In Cam
paign for Saving.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 21.-A three
year-thrift compaign to reach every fam
lily in the country that has no bank ac-
count was proposed to the American
Bankers association today by its com
mittee on public and private thrift. As
a part of the campaign, government OIL
cials would be called upon to practice
utmost economy SO as to reduce the eX-
penditures of the federal government.
The recent orgy of extravaganza, de-
.clared the committees report, has indi-
Gated very clearly the need for more
popular realization of the need for saw
ing when and as the opportunity pre-
SCENTS itself. The time Is at hand when
thrift and saving will be regarded as
not only possibilities but actual necesi-
ties"
Small savers are to be the chief source
in financing the normal growth of com
merce and industry, the report said
adding that present tax policies offer
serious check to increased investment by
holders of large wealth.
Not only must the lesson be taught
to the individual citizen and especially
to the wage Garner who has not yet
found n place to begin" said the report,
but our government officials must also
be impressed with q similar idea because
of their example to the citizens and
also because Of its demand upon the
peoples savings for purposes which too
often are neither wise nor economically
| hardlcd.
''The tax burden upon industry and
commerce and upon the billions of saw
! ings which would otherwise be used to
! finance new industry and new commerce
| is beyond all reason and in excess of

Eight Years Of incompetence

Getting out of the fogs that envelop
the League of Nations issue, let US
consider briefly another important
reason for the Democratic exodus to
the ranks of Harding supporters.
For eight years the administration
of the business Of the people of the
United States has been notoriously
incompetent. Articles now running
in The Tribune show clearly how ex-
travagant, how wasteful, how un-
businesslike has been the manage
ment of public affairs.
Additional proof of this can be
supplied by any individual or collec-
tion of individuals who have been
trying to build industries under
Democratic rule.
There are many thousands of bust
ness men and working men and men
in all positions in life to whom the
league is secondary. They would
vote for Harding, and will vote for
him, because they are disgusted with
incompetence and eager for the re-
turn of efficiency.
They are weary Of Bakers and
Danielses and Burlesons, little poll
ticians who are intrusted with af-
fairs that they do not understand
and can conduct only as politicians
can conduct them.
They believe that the future of this
country can be assured only by in
trusting the government to men
whose ability, not their subservience
to single individual, is the reason
for their selection. They want less
politics and more intelligence, less
adulation Of the Executive and more
respect for the people, at Washing
ton.
They know that they cannot secure
these things under a continuance of
of the Wilson Administration, which
is all Cox Administration could
possibly be.
And they believe that Senator
Harding, whose advisers and sup
porters are able and far-seeing men,
can and will bring order out of the
present chaos and place business on
a solid foundation.

Vote for Nine Justices

The judicial ballot will contain the
names of thirteen candidates for the
Supreme Court in this district.
Nine justices are to be chosen. "A
peculiarity Of the ballot is that the
names of four Democratic nominees
appear at the top of the list. Then
come the names of the five sitting
judges who have been renominated
by both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties. At the bottom are
the names of the four Republican
candidates.
Friends Of the sitting judges fear
that the average Democrat or Re
publican will make a mark opposite
the four names, either at the top or
at the bottom, and then stop. In
that case the. bipartisan nominees
may run behind the two groups of
single party nominees.
The present justices - Mcssrs.
Ford, Erlanger, Giegerich, Guy and
Platzck-deservc reelection. They
have Republican as we'll as Demo-
cratic Endorsement. They are, un-
fortunately, handicapped by the ac-
cident of position on the ballot.
When two or more candidates are to
be elected many voters vote for only
one-the first on the list, or for NOM
inees opposite the party emblem
and no others. This year it is i'm
portant that every one should study
his ballot and mark it intelligently.
Nine justices are to be elected. Vote
for nine.

Prohteering by Our Bn,,ditti

What with one hold-up and an
other, life is pretty zippy in this
effete and super-civilized town of
ours. Mr.. Enright does his best, but
the best of our new breed of crimi
nails, inspired by the war and forti-
fed by prohibition, is so much better
than the restraining hand of the law
that these brisk and thrifty practi-
TONERS are as safe as a church.
No one would wish to return to
the dull times before the war. when
householders had no greater ad-
ventures to look forward to at night
than collie in the baby and pedes-
TRAN could walk along our best ave-
nues without chance of any ones
sticking gun in his face. But ad-
venture is one thing; sordid, monoto-
nous banditry quite another. Burg
larry has ceased to be a daring risk
hereabout and has settled down into
comfortable trade. The profiteers.
in short, have run away with q
highly romantic venture and con-
verted it into an ordinary business
yielding exceptional revenues.
There are, no doubt, efficiency
engineers in the robbery trade by
this time. Perhaps corporations
have been organized and stock sold
and morale among the hands, that
essential Of high production, is being
preserved through house organs.
Are burglary rights to certain neigh
oorhoods bought and sold on the
burglars curb market? If so, we
should be glad to own few shares in
the company that controls the right
to burgle in Forest Hills, for ex-
ample, where fifty-five houses have
been entered, we read. Intensive

Selling Thrift
Hon TO Drive Fakc Securities Out Of
the Market

ufC liJ az CCt
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In Saturdays Tribune there ap.
peared statement of Charles J. Andre,
secretary of the National Association Of
Securities Commissioners, stating that
cne-half billion dollars yearly are in
vested IN fake securities. Many cures
for this unfortunate situation have been
suggested and many blue sky laws have
been passed. In the main, blue sky laws
seem to have been either ineffective OF
to have so operated as to do more harm
than good.
Mercantile experience indicates tha.
the effective way to run bad merchan-
disc off the market is to outsell it with
good merchandise, rather than to protect
the public by warnings. When the same
sales effort is put behind good securi-
ties as is now put behind bad ones the
good securities will drive the bad secu-
rites out Of the market.
There is no form of propagands which
will so effectively educate those who now
lose their money in fake stocks and
bonds and insecure mortgages as the
straight sales arguments Of trained
statesmen having sound securities for
sale.
AS has been repeatedly stated in your
columns by investment bankers the sales
cost on small securities is so high that
legitimate issues cannot be prodtably
pushed. II, as has been suggested, small
securities were sold on a high gross
profit basis as all other merchandise
at retail is handled. this condition could
be overcome. There is every reason 20
believe that small security allowing
liberal margin, prepared especially for
distribution among new investors, the
profit arising out Of the capitalization OF
the lower interest rate, can be sold IN
large quantities, as it is IN France
vigorous and nationwide campaign on
such security, with the cooperation Of
the Investment Bankers Association and
the American Bankers Association
would not only result in huge accuma-
lations of solid investments by the small
investor, but would drive the fake stock
salesman out of the market mere ef-
fectively than any law or series Of avs

The Latest From, Hayti

The latest news from Hayti
clinches the evidence condemning
the policy of the Administration in
subjugating that little republic.
Rear Admiral Knapp, sent there
at the behest of the State Depart
ment to investigate conditions, has
made his report. He asserts that
all benefits resulting from our occu-
patton will be lost unless we remain
there "for great many gears to
come"--for a generation" at least!
This is enough. Granting that
the killing of $3.50 Haytians was
perfectly justitiable and that we
have "tranquillized" Hayti tempo
rarily, do the people of the United
States wish to retain control of Hayti
or any other country for a genera
ton" in order to accomplish any
lasting good? We believe not. The
policy was wrong from the beginning.
1t was another impracticable ideal.
We repeat, this Administration
cannot escape condemnation by
court-martialing a few marines who
obeyed orders. Our foreign policy
American as we'll as European--has
been reprehensible. Senator Har-
ding is right. We need change
as soon as possible.

Beating Ratification Again

While the sincerity of the women
who join Mrs. Gait in declaring an
intention of voting for Mr.. Cox will
be conceded, it is not easy to follow
their reasoning.
They assume that a Cox vote will
help to make this country a member
of the existing league and in effect
deny the possibility of creating any
other peace preserving organiza-
ton; on the other hand, they assume
q Harding vote is not only against
the Wilson covenant, as written, but
that IF the Republicans win over
whelmingly the League of Nations
may become dead issue"
What record has been consulted
to arrive at these conclusions? The
one generally accessible tells a diff
ferent story. It shows that long ago
this country would have been a
league member except for the Presi-
dents refusal to permit compromise.
Reservations whose reasonableness
is no longer seriously CHALLENGED
were proposed and twice voted for
by majority Of the Senate, includ-
ing Senator Harding. AS often the
President defeated ratification by
preventing coming together of
two-thirds of the Senate. Complaint
Is made because Borah and johnson
are now for Harding. But let no
one forget that on the crucial roll
calls the Wilson Senators were their
allies. The President plus the "ir-
reconcilables" kept US out of the
league.
This record is not merely interest
ing as history, but has a direct bear
ing on the present campaign. Mr..
Cox presents himself as the Presi-
dents indorser. The presumption
thus is that his own course will not
depart much from the Wilson mode
will be directed to similar ends.
Certain deductions seem inevi-
table. If Mr.. Cox is with the Pres
ident he will tend to initiate him.
And if the President defeated rati-
fication (and he did,, then it follows
that Mr.. Cox would do likewise. Not
by advocating the Wilson policy, but
by advocating its exact contrary can

still there. Carol wanted to rebuild
Gopher Prairie. She wanted the viii
lage dramatic society to do "Androcles

husband, Will Kennicott, the country
doctor, to like poetry. AS result of
her efforts the town put a flower bed in
the vacant lot beside the station; the
dramatic society gave "The Girl From

AS matter of fact, no individual and
nc community ever found Joy and
beauty by making a firm resolve to
take tight hold and chin itself three
times in succession upon the bar of

has pointed out, the trouble with the
small town is not that it hasn't got
enough high grade fun. but that i.

If | were asked to state the purpose
of the Republican party in two words
should say sound government"
That party in it's present organization
and name has existed for nearly thrac-
quarters Of century. But in purpose
and in principle it goes back to the
Foundation of the Republic Wherever
an organization exists which supports
representative government, responsible
to the will of the people publicly ex-
pressed, limited by the consent of the
governed as expressed in constitu
ton, with judiciary, legislature and
executive Independent, uncontrolled
save by their conscience and the law.
there is patriotic union of citizenA
which is entitled to be called Re-
publican party
That party has been peculiarly the
custodian and defender of our Consti
tuition. No problem arising from the
war calls more urgently for solution
than how to return to and maintain
constitutional government There is
grave cause for our desire to return
to the Constitution of America, guar
anteeing personal and civil liberty, un-
der which this nation became the glory
of civilization. But some one saws our
Constitution has been adopted it has
been the law Of the land more than one
hundred and thirty years. That task
is done; why give it now such urgent
attention? That is the treat popular
error. A constitution, law, is a rule
of action. 1t is not self-acting, self
sufficient or sclf-enforcing. Law is
easy enough to enact, but difficult to
administer. Making rule Of conduct
is not difficult; acting in accordance
with it requires the effort Our Con-
stltution, in establishing liberty, sets
higher rule Of conduct than any other
nation has over before assumed.
