Prohibition has killed It.
Nothing can revive It."
In this trilogy of staccato SEN
fences, DIR. r.. J. Campbell. vicar Of
Christ Church. Westminster, who
has just returned from a long Jour-
ney through the United States,
gave his opinion Of prohibition in
America. sr1.
II have tested the opinion Of
leaders Of thought in the States"
he said. "and find almost unani-
nous belief that no community,
from Maine to California. would
ever consent to repeal prohibition.
Nevertheless, have dined at many

But is there a far-reaching politi-
cal and economic aim in prohibi-
ton? 1t will be remembered that
when it was first enacted many
Europeans thought the real aim
was, by making American masses
more sober, to enable the States to
compass the mastery Of the world.
DIR. Campbell admits the preva'

this branch of the Northwestern,
came from Boone this morning to
meet with the Community club TO
discuss the matter OF taking off the
Sunday train. These gentlemen as
sured the Club that the train had
been taken off only temporarily and
that by the first Of April, or perhaps
before, the train would again be put
on. There was some talk Of having
only one passenger train each day
during the week, but the officers
have abandoned that idea.
The visitors stated that it was
necessary for the railway company
to cut down expenses wherever pos
sible, for it was next to impossible
for them 20 do much borrowing of
capital at this time.

NEED THE TWINS EVER KNOW?

The great heart of the public has
been deeply interested in the fate of
Betty and Jimmy Wells and II is
pleasant to read that they both are
to be adopted into good home.
From the moment that these twins
were found abandoned in an old els
tern in Omaha, the public has felt
a sense of proprietorship in them.
After they had been taken into the
hospital, if they had the collie or a
slight fever, we watched the news
papers to see if they were progress
ing more favorabIy, and when it
looked as If they would be adopted
into separate homes, there was gen.
eral disappointment.
To the twins, having found home
means that the luck which saved
them from death by exposure, is still
with them. The fact that their pres
ence will give pleasure to some man
and woman, that someone is inter-
ested in all their dreams and trou-
bles. will mean much in their devel-
opment.
Remembering nothing of the SEN
sational events of their infancy, they
are to be so reared that they need
never know of the mystery OF their
parentage. Their life is to be mold
ed by loving hands, though they are
not those of their real parents, and
what they are 20 be when grown is
within their own power and that OF
their adopters. III they turn out to
be children of strong character, II
may be that it would be kindness

SICK BUSINESS WORLD WIDE

S1Ch BUSINESS WORLD WIDE
While the merchants of the coun-
try are blaming the newspapers for
falling prices at the stores and the
farmers are blaming the panks and
union labor thinks that employers
are shutting down their mills in or
der to destroy the labor unions, let's
look abroad and see how business
conditions are where they have few
newspapers, fewer banks and no la
Dor unions.
In Argentina money is very tight,
business failures are increasing and
everybody seems to be overstocked
with goods.
in Australia on the other side of
the world, money is tight, strikes are
prevalent, the government is hard
pressed to finance its war debts and
a bumper crop of wheat is in sight
at prices unsatisfactory to the grow
ers.
In Brazil credit at the bank is al
most unobtainable, while business
failures are increasing and every
body is kicking about the high cost
of living.
In Chile deflation from war prices
is in progress, with surplus stocks Of
the goods that Chile should be ex-
porting, glut on the market.
In China, on the opposite side of
the earth, the boom in silver having
busted, failures are prevalent, fam
inc stalks through the land and for
eign loans ara the only business that
seems active.
In India the markets are over
stocked with goods and business
credits shaky.
In japan prices are tumbling and
raw silk prices are now being fixed
by the government. Imports are
greater than exports and drastic re-
huctions in wages have occurred.
In England goods are piling up
overstocking the markets, and un-
employment is exceedinly serious.
In Italy prices are falling and un-
employment, with wage reductions
causes much strike disturbance.
In Peru money is tight and inter-
est rates are high. Bank loans are
difficult to obtain. There is such a
surplus of cotton and cane on hand
that prices are falling.
In Venezuela the bottom to falling
prices has not yet been reached and
the banks have begun to curb credits
because they see lower prices COM
ing.
ALI the world over and on all con-
tinents the war bubble has bursted.
Inflated price bags are losing their
wind pressure. High prices had
stimulated production TO such de-
gree that there seems to be a surplus
of everything, everywhere and the
war put crimp in the ability of
hundreds Of millions to buy, for ev-
cry country reports trouble with its
foreign exchange. The war gave the
world an awful run of fever. Bust
ness temperatures were high. No
country can convalesce in a minute
and it makes I little difference
whether that country be one that
does not read newspapers or one that
has few banks or many Unemploy-
ment is worse where the labor un-
ions are the least.

WHY ASK THEM TO PAY TIP

/ Why ask our soldiers 10 pay their
own wages?
The men who have returned from
service paid for the war with their
time, their jobs, their discomforts
and in many cases with their danger.
How many people realize that the
country is now asking them to help
| pay for it with their money?
Take a typical case. Jones left a
good position to go to France; was
in service nearly two years. when
he returned got his old job back
(many others did not, OF course) and
is now working to re-establish his
family in a new home. He is called
upon for his income tax. What for?
Chiefly to help pay for the prOtec-
ticn which he gave the rest Of us.
An income tax is fair enough.
Nearly everybody who did not go
into service made more money dur
ing the war than ever before. We
were almost all financially prosper
Gus. But the service men got mot
only the hard knocks, but also the
little wages. Now on their return
pay for their own services to the
country.
They know very well that this is
so. They are too proud to complain;
, we have not heard a man of them
comment on this obvious injustice.
But there they are. They got it
going, and they catch It coming.
There are plenty of plain reasons
for voting for a bonus for the SOL
diers. Everybody else got 1.-THE
manufacturers, the merchants, the
laborers. But the tfayesty of just
ice which failure to vote the bonus
would be, is made particularly clear
by the realization that through the
income tax, without a bonus, we are
forcing the ex-service men to pay
their own wages for what they did
for us.
