than two miles apart the one-pounders
came into action. It was pretty shoot

through the old Maggie like buckshot

slid fiat on the deck beside his gun

The stars would shine brightly

They would be seen almost up to

Immediately round the sun there
would be a glow having the appear

The zodiacal light would appear as

realize that he would have to do prac-
tically all Of the work Of serving the
gun himself, in view Of which condi-
ton, one gun would have to defend
the Maggie. He had never seen a
mountain gun before, but he did not
find it difficult to put the simple me-
chanism together.
"Now, then, Scraggsy," he an
nounced cheerfully when the gun was
finally assembled on the carriage,

three miles by the time the piece was

instructions. Captain Scraggs held the
fuse setter in case it should be nec-
essary to adjust with shrapnel. Mr..
Gibney inserted his sights and took 6

about the same principle" he declared.

scratched his ingenious head and ex-
amined the ammunition. "Not q high

"I'll have to cse percussion fire to get

an spray her with shrapnel. Seems
pity to smash up fine schooner

rather tickle 'em up a bit with

BE got out the lanyard, slipped a
cartridge in the breech, paused, ani
scratched his head again. His calm
deliberation was driving Scraggs
crazy. He reminded Mr.. Gibney with
some asperity that they were not at

another cartridge home. This shot

"Why?" demanded Captain Scraggs,
instantly on the defensive.
"Not that I'm holdin' any grudge
agin you, Scraggsy," said Mr.. Gibney
affably, "but I wouldn't a-had you no
mere now than I would when we was
runnin' in the green-pea trade. It's
because you amt got no Imagination,

Prison Terms, Not Fines

Most people Will sympathizc with
Mr.. Untermyer's protest against
fining persons found guilty of re-

Of giving them Jail sentences, Fines
are inadequate deterrents. They
usually represent only small per-
centage of the profits made by the
lawbreskers. They are, in fact. COM

new exactions.
The building materials combina-
tions which the Lockwood committee
exposed extorted vast sums from
this community, They helped to
bring about shortage in housing
which has caused loss and distress to
hundreds of thousands. They con-
tributed to forcing up the cost of liv-
ing, to multiplying evictions, to clog
ging the courts with suits between
landlords and tenants. The evil they
did was cumulative and lives after
thems The law inflicts severe penal
ties on one individual who wrongs
another. But here were few indi-
viduals who committed a collective
crime against an entire population,
and who are let off with a meager
levy on the proceeds of their law
breaking.
The idea Of punishment is to pro-
tect the community, not to collect a
share of the profits of criminality.
The burlesque minutes of one of the
associations which the Lockwood
committee investigated, introducing
the remarks of Mr.. Profit, Mr.. In
come and others, do not indicate that
the terror of the law and it's admin
istration has as yet struck deep into
the minds of the price fixers. Brin-
dell is in prison, but many Of those
who maintained him in power and
played the game with him are still
inclined to treat the application of
the antitrust laws as a judicial
comedy.
Prison sentences are mild atone
ments for the wholesale injury in
flicted by the building materials
monopolists. Mr.. Untermyer is right
in urging that the inadequate alter
native of fines for individuals be
stricken out of the antitrust laws.

Maintenance Of Roads

Travellers in France remember the
neat piles of crushed rock on French
roads and the old men working with
hammers beside them. To each man
is allotted section Of road. If q
hole appears he repairs it. If the
topping needs replacing he sees that
1t Is done. A few francs spent for
prevention save napoleons for recon-
struction. SO General Pershing,
who knows what can be done, has
informed the Senate Committee on
Post Roads that money appropriated
for road construction which does not
carry provision for maintenance is
wasted.
On our roads good sections are
built-often on insufficient founda-
tions--and allowed to deteriorate,
with not only increased cost, but the
constant closing of sections for re-
pairs. AS the use of automobiles
for commercial purposes increases
the need for roads in good condition
grows greater. The problem is ma
tion-wide. An increased traffic de-
mands provisions for the adequate
upkeep of highways. In one mat
ter we must conquer the national
temperament.
General Pershing might we'll have
quoted Laurence Sterne's famous
line: "'They order said I, this
matter better in France"
