1t would be well pleased if it were

bill remained in the senate for several
weeks after its passage by the house
before it was acted upon, notwith
standing the active fforts of the
Anu-Saloon league to have it take
precedence over several important
measures.
Before the bill was passed by the
senate II was shorn of several provi
sions not directly relating to prohib
iting the sale of beer for medicinal

to strengthen the Volstead act. Then

Clean Politics Can Win

The nomination of B. A. Bescher for mayor
clean campaign can win Mr.. Bescher's nomina-
ton was an unusual one in Richmond He had
no paid workers and only voluntary organiza
ton of friends interested in his behalf. He
spent no money for automobiles to transport
voters to the polls or for other election purposes
His victory was vindication of an upright
and honorable determination to win the nonlina-
ton by virtue of his claims for efficiency and his
ability to serve the people as capable executive
of the city
Of all the candidates who sought the nominal
ton, Mr.. Bescher possessed those qualifications
which appealed to the citizens of Richmond. He
has had abundant experience in municipal af-
fairs; his honesty and probity are above re-
preach; he has the balanced, cool judgment
which will be needed by mayor in the next four
years. and will be able to command the conf
dence of other city officials.
The men whom the Republicans nominated
for councilmen present as strong lineup for
the city council as has been selected here for
many years The closest kind of cooperation
between the legislative and executive branches
of the municipal government can be expected as
a result of the primary.
Mr.. Beschers rise to the nomination for
mayor has not been spectacular, but steady adj
!vancement from one post of responsibility to an
Iother. His service as city clerk and controller
gives him good insight into the methods of
conducting the city's affairs and of administer
ing its financial condition
The next four years require the presence OF
| a man in the mayors chair who is able to use
keen discrimination in the spending of the cty's
money. Taxes are as high as they reasonably
can be expected to be, and a reduction will be
appreciated by citizens generally. For that rea-
son, expenditures must be kept to a minimum
without impairing the general operations of th5
government impeding the making of neces-
/ sary improvements. A good city council and 4
capable mayor are prime requisites to meet this
situation. The Republicans, it is believed, have
nominated a ticket that will meet these require
ments.

Selling the Wooden Ships

The sale of 2o5 wooden ships for sum less
than it originally cost to build one of them is
generally considered a good business proposition.
The ships were white elephant on the hands of
the shipping board and were costing the country
$4,000 month to take care of them
The disposal of the ships relieves the country
of the cost of upkeep and also of the cost of a
rapid deterioration The corporation that took
them over probably figured out way of max
ing money on the deal. The ships would
have brought higher price, some observers say,
if they had been sold shortly after the armistice
but this was not done, and there is no market
for them now, the sale of the wooden fleet
squares with good business judgment.
The activities of the shipping board illus
trate again the old truth that the government
cannot handle business enterprise as efficiently
and economically as can private corporation.
The quicker the government gets out of the ship
ping business and permits men who are ac-
quanted with the industry to take care of water
transportation the better off will be the tax
pers.
Our experience with government control and
government ownership during the war has con-
WINGED the American people, barring few social
isticaly inclined persons, that we profit most by
letting private initiative and enterprise handle
big business propositions.
AID those of us who are not convinced of the
soundness of this view, need only turn to Russia,
where the government believed it could manage
business. The paralysis of the entire country
forcing it's deuded leaders to appeal to other
nations for food to feed its starving millions
tells in unmistakable language of the folly of
the communistic scheme and of government con-
troll of industry and business

S. Edgar Nicholson. of Richmond,
Ind, an officer of the Anti-Saloon
league who was summoned to Wash

volt against the amended anti-beer
bill assumed a critical aspect states
that it is a question whether the pro-
hibition act could be successfully en-
forced unless the Stanley amendment
is modified as proposed by the con
ferees on the anti-beer bill.
A similar statement has been made
by Wayne B. Wheeler. who points
to the fact that under the Stanley
amendment it would be practically im-
possible to stop the transportation of
liquor in automobiles or by hand
