form 4 vast majority of the people
have accepted prohibition as final
and are satisfied with it, The threat
ered revolution of the wage earners
t. secure beer has not materialized
and many laborers have decided that
they are better off without it.
Violations of the law are being
given much publicity by the wet press
and many public officials are dealing
lieuently with the violators But
this condition is but temporary. Be
fore long people will demand that
prohibition be strictly enforced and
will elect officials who can be trust
ed to deal vigorously with yiolators
OF the law.
In one short year national prohi

nomic worth and those who think
that they see signs of its repeal are
harboring false delusions.

they are in no time distributed to the

NOT MUCH DANGER IN AIR
Statistics Concerning the Casualties
Among Flyers Are comethlna
Of a Reve lation.

The airplane Is the fastest ma
chine man has yer built, but fast as
1t is. it has not yet caught up with
its reputation for danger. That repu-
tation was acquired when the plane
was in it's infancy, when man was just
beginning to master the air, and in
the mind Of the average man il has
not vet been downed.
The British air ministry collected
statistics on all commercial flying in
that country for the last seven months
of 1919. The results amazed even
pilots and engineers who long had re-
garded the risk in flying as negligible.
The figures covered 25,330 flights by
403 machines Of a total time in tie
air of S.36S hours during which time
$4,000 miles were travelled. In all
this flying In good weather and bad,
one passenger was killed in every
1866 passenger hours in the air. TO
put it differently, a single passenger
might expect to fly about 1,1SO,O0O
mileS-47 times around the world
before becoming the victim of a fatal
crash. That sounds utterly absurd
10 the landsman, yet the British gov
eminent stands back of the figures.
The pilots who tested experiment.
al planes did stunt flying and ran
other unnecessary risks. showed IS
deaths per 1000 hours.
Coming nearer home, figures com
piled by the Post Office dano rtn,an+
show to the end of last year 100000
miles flown with a loss of three pi-
lots. These pilots of course, ran
many risks, for they carried the mail
through rain, snow and fog that blind
ed them.
Even in training pilots the figures
are exceedingly low. From the be-
ginning of the war until the end of
1918, 1860 men learned to fly in
the United States air service. One
man was killed in every 2.31O hours.
or one to about every 10000 miles.
With these positive proofs of avia-
tons safety before us, American air
plane manufacturers are going ahead
building planes, confident that the
realization soon will come every

CUTTING THE PIE

Do you think the pie is cut right?
Or do you believe that Uncle Sam
ought to spend more on education,
science and the stimulation of agri-
culture and industry?
Congressman Frank w Mondell,
republican floor leader, declares that
we shall never be able to make ade-
quate appropriations for these pur-
oses unless We reduce the enor-
nous total of the appropriations car
ried in the Army and Navy bills
This year we gave the Army and
Navy directly $857,00O,000-more
than three times as much as in the
highest pre-war year Next year
they ask for 81, 5O4,000.0 900.
During the war the non-military
work of the government was starved
Shall it be further starved while we
build up an armed peace?
In 1920 total appropriation for
education, science and the stimula-
ton of agriculture and industry were
$50, 100000. Next years estimates
raise thisc figure less than $4,000
600. The Army and Navy, however
demand an increase over this year
Of 5647,0OO;O00.
Do you agree with Congressman
Monden?

FALSE DELUSIONS

At the end of the first year of ma
tional prohibition. many of the booze
champions and a number of moist
newspapers are proclaiming loudly
that it has proved a failure. This
propaganda is causing the vets 10
take heart and to delude themselves
with hopes of the repeal of the pro-
hibition amendment This vision of
land again flowing with intoxicat-
ing beverages is only a mirage.
While prohibition has not made
the nation dry, it has curtailed the
moisture sufficiently to greatly re-
duce the annual crop OF paupers. po-
lice court offenders. and non-sup-
porters of families 1t has already

OPPORTUNITY Is KNOCKING

II Pullman is TO erect the Ions
talked of community building as Il
memorial to those who fell in the
recent war. now is an opportune time
to press the project, because OF the
immediate demand for an armory,
which could be easily included in the
structure.
A rifle unit of the national guard
is being recruited in this city For
a suitable armory for this company
the state is said to be willing to pay
$500 a month and provide heat and
light The company would drill but
one night week and the rest OF the
time the drill hall would be available
for community purposes upon pay
ment for heat and light provided
the use is on a non-profit basis or
that the profit would go to the ma
tional guard company or to the
American Legion post. 1t is under
stood that the state will take a five
years lease on the above terms.
The minimum size of an armory is
specified as 60X100 feet When not
being used for drill purposes, such a
room would make an ideal commun-
ity gymnasium, ball room or assem-
bly, hall. Accommodation could be
provided in the building for perman-
ent headquarters for the American
Legion post, the G. A. r., the ". r.
c., rest room for the families of
farmers, and other rooms for COM
munity purposes.
The city badly needs a large hall
where public meetings can be held
without going to the college auditor
ium. Maynard-Price post needs per-
manent and adequate headquarters.
The young people of the city who
are not in college or school, need 4
gymnasium and gathering place A
community center would be of great
benefit not only to the residents of
the city but to the people of the sur
rounding country.
The obstacle which has thus far
blocked the project has been the
financing of the building The GER
tainty of securing $500 a month rent
for five years would go a long ways
toward solving this problem The
membership of Maynard Price post
feel confident that they could put
several thousand dollars into the pro-
ject. The community ought to be
able to raise several thousands more
in voluntary contributions. and the
balance could be secured by selling
stock or issuing bonds to be retired
by the rent and earnings of the
building.
This appears to be a fine opportun-
ity for the city to secure much
needed Improvement OF course
many obstacles will have to be met
and overcome, but if the community
gets behind the project with will.
Pullman can have an appropriate and
serviceable memorial community
building, despite the present finan-
cial stringency.
