A "SeriOus Situation"
Cincinnati Enquirer.)
avenue


 Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Shouse de- elares the service, which should protect the country from smugglers, finds itself wholly made quate" to meet the situation. He says the service needs both men and money" that it would require army of patrol the coast and border terri tories and that unless such is provided there can be no hope of wiping out the illegal traffic in liquor. He asserts that vast quantities of liquor have been coming in notwithstanding the contiscaton of thousands upon thousands of dollars worth from ships which attempt to conceal liquor stocks on enter ing customs ports
 But this is not all. Men who refuse to recognize the virtues of prohibition and the validity of prohibit tion legislation, emphasizing their contempt for all law by engaging in tremendous illegal traffic in other commodities general smuggling having reached such proportions that the Treasury officials have been brought to consider an entire rearrange- ment of the Governments coastal criminal chasing army in order enable the authorities to deal with the serious situation
 Thus doth the attempt to inculcate morals by legislation and constitutional decree plfy immemorial fallacy.

Profiteering in Money.
(New York World )

Whether certain Wall Street banks have been charging unduy and unnecessarily high rates for call money Stock Exchange collateral is question with Comptroller of the Currency Williams which he purposes have answered. Charges of this sort have been prevalent for time. They ought to be sfted.
 When stock speculation year ago passing all national bounds there reasons of good public policy why every Encouragement of high money rates should be applied. But in spite of the fact that this market thoroughly lquidated months ago, the call loans has continued right along to the point of completely reversing the old and natural rule that the lower go market prices the pen- Gful and cheaper becomes call money.
 This, MT. Williams points out, has much broader application than to the speculative element of Wall Street It's effort is to make legitimate and urgent railroad loans more and more expensive to feat and costly the roads to carry. Thus bank profteerng call money in the market from day to day opens the way for bank proiteerng at the expense of the railroads on longtime loans.
 A situation which is compelling the roads to pay their bankers per cent and such loans merits public inquiry. There are indications that the Interstate Commerce Commission may have something say when its approval of new security issues at : and per cent comes to be asked.
