PRESS COMMENT
Where is the Trouble?


In the following paragraph the Chris
tan Science Monitor indirectly but
neatly points a. moral which is not
without a bearing even in this COM
munity:
THE same issue of the newspapers
that announced the dismissal of the
federal indictments against the persons
accused of conspiring in the sale of
wood alcohol in the cities of Western
Massachusetts and Connecticut during
the holiday season of 1919, by which
at least 100 fatalities are said to have
been caused, records the arrest of a
Dorchester boy, who while on a visit
to the neighboring town of Weymouth,
was accused of turning in a false
alarm of fire In the latter case, no
doubt, the full penalty of the law will
be exacted."
Massachusetts, is not the only place
where, apparently, a proper sense Of
proportion is not cultivated in the en-
forcement of the law. AS a general
proposition those entrusted with en-
forcement of the law in this commun-
ity are efficient and diligent But by

dustry goes on in spite of them. It
eludes their attention much more easily
than do other offenses. Is it because Of
ficers are not sufficiently watchful or
because courts and juries are so hard
to convince of the guilt of the ac-
cused persons? Clearly there is a rea-
son-somewhere
Rumors one hears on the streets
would seem to indicate that no great
difficulty need attend the apprehen-
sion of the leading rum runners. 1t is
understood, of course, that not every
rumor can be established as a fact in
court of law, but there is concrete
evidence of the systematic violation of
the liquor laws. Officers of the law
can hardly be ignorant of this feature
of the situation.
Responsibility for lax enforcement
ought to be definitely placed. If it is
due to lack of cooperation among
law enforcing agencies, to the play of
politics in other words, the people
ought to know where the blame lies.
Good citizens ought to let their Off
Gals know how they feel about it. Too
many crimes are now being traced to
the Illicit liquor traffic for the well be-
ing of the ommunity.-Chattano

Notes
EARLY MORNING ENTRANCE
INTO TOWN OF iSLETA
Has the Oldest Ghost Story in the
United States.

Increased yelping from the mongrel
pack might bring them swarming
| about our car, and we had no ex-
perience in dealing With them; no
knowledge of their prejudices or Ian
guage to trade with. In our haste we
circled through the town twice, thread
ing corrals and back yards. Suddenly,
the town still silent, we emerged into
a shallow plaza. Crossing directly be-
fore our lights came a young man, tall
and supple, his straight short locks
bound with a scarlet fillet, his profile
clear and patrician, and over his Shout
ders a scarlet robe, covering his white
cotton trousers. AS he passed us, I'M
moved and stolid, he spoke one word
of salutation, and continued on his
way across the silent plaza.
Simple as was the incident, the
incident, the flash of scarlet against
the blue-black sky, the dignity and ST
lence of the Indian, made the climax
We had been awaiting. Nothing else
happened. But it had been night
whose setting was so sharply Defined
its premonitions so vibrantly tense
with drama, that only that little was
needed to carve it on our memory.
We saw the town later in broad
daylight, swept by an unclean sand
storm, pitilessly stripped of romantic
atmosphere. But the romance was OBJ
scured, not obliterated, for it's roots
are sunk deep in the past. Isleta has
one of the finest builtup estufias of the
puebla towns. 1t has a thousand inhab-
itants whose proximity 70 the rail-
road gives them the blessing or curse
of the white mans civilization. 1t has
a church, whose ancient adobe flanks
have been stopped by two wooded bird
cages for steeples, for when the Indian
adopts our ideas his tatste is rocco;
when he clings to his own art he shows
a native dignity and simplicity. Lastly,
Isleta has a ghost, well authenticated.
and attested to by a cardinal, an arch
bishop, governor, and other digni-
taries, to say nothing of Juan Pancho,
"a man who does not lie. 1t is probably
the oldest chose in the United States.

PROGRESS FOR ALL OR NONE.

In carrying out the process of read
| justment, 1t is important that we keep
in mind the necessity of erecting our
national economy on a firm founda-
ton. Short cuts and deluding make
shifts are not to be tolerated. We be-
rate the Germans and others for
their unwillingness to face facts. for
their recourse TO subsidies and de-
structive monetary systems, but we,
or some of us, seem no less inclined TO
take the easy road without regard to
where we come out In view of their
professed purpose to ''get more now"
it is perhaps too much to exepect the
leaders of railroad labor to weigh the
probable effect of their demand that
their private concepts of human stan
dards for railroad workers be main-'
tanned without regard to cost, in fact,
| that they actually be maintained by
a shifting of costs from the railroads
to other industries and workers. These
leaders have grown so accustomed 10
the uses of power and the advantages
of subsidies that they no longer at
tempt to mask the anti-social charac-
ter of their demands In their efforts to
ing, being particularly adept in mis-
leading with selected citations from
the record of the past misdeeds of the
railroads and in the use of half-truths.
Their methods have been surprisingly
successful. They have led men who
ought to know better to accept their
professions of honesty at their face
value, and have even gone so far as
to hope for the cooperation of these
men in their efforts to undermine the
railroad executives who understand and
oppose them. Any encouragement 10
the professional leaders of railroad la
Dor cannot but be ultimately harmful
to all interests. The strengthening OF
their hold on the rank and file means
an increase of their power to enforce
demands and levy tribute upon the in

paid to the railroads during the war
went entirely to labor; money that
ought to have gone into new equip
ment, new roadbeds and general inn

Advertising.

Advertising holds it's place unques-
tionably side by side with the news
OF the day." according to the vice pres
ident of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World, who is also treas
urer and business manager of a big
university. The reader who is as in
terested in the advertising pages of
his favorite magazine or newspaper as
he is in the news and literature does
not often think of what advertising
means to him.
Advertising has attained its position
of Importance almost within the last
ten years. 1t has existed for many
years, but was never before of such
general public interest. Today it is
the business of the honest advertiser
and successful advertising is honest
to tell the public where to find the
most desirable merchandise most cas-
lily and at the right prices. 1t is diff
cult to estimate what good advertis-
ing means to a community, net only
in economy of time and effort, but in
less tangible contentment and pros
perity. Even the scornful few who
cling to the idea that all advertising is
deceivfng, as all news is false, would
be surprised to find out how much
they depend upon advertising if it were
all suddenly removed from their field
of observation.
The slogan, Tt pays to advertise"
has proved itself true. Now, however.
it is recognized that it pays not only
the advertiser but the many others
who read the advertising. Formerly
merely a feature of business in itself,
in which art, philosophy, psychology
and the progressive spirit of the times
are all used. Whether it is to sell

provement went to more pay for the
workers for less work.
Sixty-fiye per cent of the total in
come of the railroads in 1920 was paid
to the men who ran them. The in
crease in wages awarded by the labor
board in 1920 alone would have re-
stored the credit of the roads to the
point that would have enabled them
to introduce new economies that re-
quire heavy capital OUTLAWS and which
would have gone a long way toward
placing the roads in a position to earn
the money needed to maintain the
standard Of living required by their
employees. But a labor leader must
lead-that's his business. When there
is no trouble it is up to him to make
trouble. When the worker is in mood
to be reasonable, the leader must
urge him to unreason. He tells him
that this is a world in which men get
what they take, that he is an insignifi-
cant cog in system in which he may
become the flywheel if he'll only listen,
and then he concocts schemes for
shifting the cost of running the rail-
roads at higher wage to the Shout
ders of the government or by means
of higher rates directly to the pub
lie. Our first mistake in dealing with
the railroads was made when we I'M
dertook to regulate their rates with
an eye to the interest of the shipper
and without regard to the need of the
roads for new capital; our second,
when we thought of railroad capital
and labor first, and then of the ship
per. The shipper can gage what he
must pay for capital, for capital is
restricted to a maximum of per cent
on the value of its investment but
there is no limit to the demands labor
can make other than those imposed by
it's own concept of human standards.
Granted the power railroad labor
could go on raising its conception of
human standards until they approx
mated celestial standards, but only at
the expense of other workers. Let's
raise the standard together, or not
at all.

BoLsHEvsM IN THE NEAR EAST.

BOLSHEVIsM IN THE NEAR EAST.
Under the title of Social Unrest and
Bolshevism in the Islamic World" a
writer in Scribner's for August de-
clares that the war and its resultant
acute suffering, baked ambitions and
furious hates has combined to reduce
society to the verge of chaos. He says:
into this ominous turmoil there
now came the sinister influence of
Russian bolshevism, marshalling all
this diffused unrest by systematic
methods for definite ends. sBolshevism
was frankly out for a world revolu-
tion and the destruction of western
civilization. TO attain this objective
the bolshevist leaders not only launch
ed direct assaults on the west, but also
planned flank attacks in Asia and At
RIGA. They believed that if the East
could be set on fire, not only would
Russian bolshevism gain vast additional
strength, but also the economic roper
cussion on the West, already shaken
by the war, would be so terrific that
industrial collapse would ensue, there
by throwing Europe open to revolu-
ton.
"Bolshevism's propaganda efforts
were nothing short of universal, both
in area and scope. No part of the
world was free from the plottings of its
agents; no possible source of discon-
tent was overlooked. Strictly Red"
doctrines like the dictatorship of the
proletariat We're very far from being
the only weapons in bolshevisms ar
mory. Since what was first wanted
was the overthrow of the existing
world order any kind of opposition to
that order, no matter how remote doc
trinally from bolshevism, was grist to
the bolshevist mill. Accordingly, in ev-
cry quarter of the globe, in Asia, At
rica,, Australia and the Americas, as
in Europe, bolshevik agitators whis-
pered in the ears of the disconnected
their gospel of hatred and revenge.
Every nationalist aspiration, every po
litical grievance, every social injustice,
every racial discrimination was fuel for,
Bolshevism's Indictment to violence
and war;"

have the cooperation of the officers

Inactive Towns Headed for

A town that never has anything to
do in a public way is on the way to
the cemetery. Any citizen who will
do nothing for his town is helping to
dig the grave. A man that "cusses" the
town furnishes the coffin. The man
who is so selfish as to have no time
from his business to give affairs is
making the shroud. The man who will
not advertise is driving the hearse. The
man who is always pulling back from
any public enterprise throws bouquets
on the gave. The man who is so stingy
as to be bowling hard times, breaches
the funeral and sings the doxology.
And thus the town lies buried from all
sorrow and care.-Down (Kans.) News.

The Yanks on the Rhine.

The Yanks on the Rhine.
1t is recorded that an American wo-
man, visiting in Coblentz, entered tho
office of the American commander and
told him how sorry she was for Our
poor boys serving here in exile" She
hoped they soon could go back home,
and asked General Allen if they were
not eager to return.
Madame" he replied, GO ask
them!" She did, and found to her sur
prise that about SO out of 100 were well
satisfied with their jobs.
There are H. 900 American troops
still on the Rhine, and all accounts
agree that they like it there. Their du-
lice work in an orderly and friendly
region. They live better than most
of them could at home. The scenery is
beautiful. The water sports are fine.
They can buy American goods cheaply,
and as for German goods, the rate of
exchange gives their wages unprece-
denied purchasing power. They like
the German girls and their are many
engagements and marriages.
The Germans treat them extremely
well, because they know the Americans
will stand no fooling, and also because
they respect and like them. Even the
fact that their cost of maintenance
has to be paid by Germany does not
prejudice the Germans against them.
The Germans say that if the Ameri-
cans went. the French would take
their places, and they would rather
have the Americans.
These facts, added to reasons of in
ternationa1 policy, have no doubht had
considerable to do with the delay of
the government in ordering the Rhine
troops back home.-Tampa Tribune.
