WERE FOR THE BULL
United States Marines and Sailors
Were For the Bovine in
the Fight.

When the boys of Uncle Sans navy
go on a frolic, they will be boys. As
an illustration the Atlantic fleet last
week paid visit to Lima, the capital
of Peru. The city staged a bull fight
for the entertainment Of its visitors
and thousands of gobs attended.
Everybody cheered the doughty bull
fighters---that is everybody but the
gobs. They made the arena ring
with their cries Of Get him, bull"
Perhaps it wasn't AL play that oc-
casioned that cry. They knew the
poor, old bull didn't have chance,
and there may have been just a bit
Of desire to see him &c; in a lick or
two before finally going down to de-
feat. An American crowd likes game
ness. Whether It's a man or a dog
or a bull there is admiration for the
one who dies with his boots on
The one who can stand up and take
a licking and come back for more
commands our respect for his game
ness, if not always Tor his judgment.

HAVE ONE DEFENDER
Prof. GiddiIsys of Columbia Must be
After the Women
Vote.

The women of the United States
should rise en- masse and fall over
each other in their eagerness to COM
pliment Prof. Franklin H. Gliding Of
Columbia university who appears to
have laid himself open to a double
Indictment by any grand jury Of
Puritanic regulators, for he not only
defends the dress and morals of Am
erican women but he sees no particu-
lar depravity in the tendencies of the
times. "Present-day morals" he
thinks, "are neither substantially
higher nor lower than they were one
or two generations ago." and he
quotes with ironical appositeness the
remark of a former public official
that. I'VE have always been going to
the devil-and here we are today"
II this is not contempt OF court and
heresy TO the high principles of moral
reform, what is? 1t is bad enough to
see no evil in women's clothes, but to
impugn the moral standards of the
good old times" betrays a regretta-
BILE mental myopia- AS all profess
sional censors of public manners
know, there has been a continuous
fall from grace since the beginning
OF history. Each new generation
starts on a lower moral plane than
the generation before and bequeaths
TO its successor a new heritage OF
corruption. 1t was so in the time OF
the poet Horace, who said nearly
1000 years ago that the sires, them
selves iniquitous, transmit their in
creased iniquity to the sons, who pass
it on, with additions, to their off
spring. And no doubt it was so in
ancient Egypt and in Babylon.
Fifty years or so from now these
will have become the good old times
and their rugged virtues will be ex
tolled by the moralists of that day
The scant-skirted costumes tina
grandmother wore in her youth will
then be patterns of propriety. Blu
TO say frankly now that those sam'
costumes are anything but indecen
and so intimate that their wearer
are as modest as their own grand
mothers were, merely convicts tn
apologist of moral obliquity.

WHEN THE BLow-UP COMES
A Bill Introduced In the Ohio IIcgis-
laturc Against Which There
Is o Rebellion.

A bill has been introduced into the
Ohio legislature for a law to permit
authorized prohibition enforcement
officers to enter and search any
premises, private or public, without
the formality Of n search warrant.
If the Midwest were favorable to
a repeal of the eighteenth amendment
it could wish for no better method Of
securing it than the methods now
pursued by the prohfbitionists.
Some of these days the I'D is going
to blow off
And when # does blow off this
country is going to see revolution and
chaos. The people will submit to in
reference and oppression just so
long, and no longer. And when sub
mission ends, revolution begins. Wnen
IT comes to advocating that law Off
GERS be permitted to invade private
homes at their own sweet viii, ii is
! high time to call a halt Tie Nebras-
ka Law, which colnpe's a man charg-
ed with illegal possession of liquor TO
prove lis innocence is bal enough.
A murderer or a horse thief is pre-
sumed to be innocent until PROVED
guilty. Not so with the man charged
with violating the prohibitory law. lie
is presumed to be guilty until he
proves his innocence.
There is entirely too much interfer-
ence with personal liberty and human
rights in these days of professional
reformers. There are too many men
and women spending their time trying
to make laws for the reformation of
others. There is entirely too much
Thou shalt not" being put upon the
statute books by reformers who i'm
agine that all that needs TO be done
to reform all mankind is to enact
lot of laws and appoint special Off
GERS to enforce them.
Below the seemingly placid surface
in the United States there is a seeth-
ing and boiling that will break loose
sooner or later, unless the pressure is
gradually released. And God help
America when the blow-off comes!
This newspaper is not anti-prohibi-
tion-not by long shot But it most
emphatically is anti-damphool re-
former. 1t is in favor of giving grown
men and women some voice in their
own personal matters, without the
interference of so-called reformers
who too often damn the habits of
others in order to hide habits they
themselves love ito indulge in. 1t is
most emphatically opposed to any
further domination at the hands of
those so aptly described by Robert
Burns when he said of them that
they
"Condone the sins they are inclined
BY damning those who nave no mind
to-"
You can interfere with the rights
and the will of the people just so far
and no farther. The limit has just
about been reached, if this newspaper
is capable of interpreting signs.
If the Ohio legislature enacts law
permitting prohibition agents to
search private homes without the
formality of a search warrant, then
the limit in Ohio has been passed,
and If red-blooded Ohioans do not
rebel, then they are entitled no longer
to boast of their Americanism.
For heavens sake, let us have a
let-up on this reform stuff" before
there is a blow-up!-Gering Mid
