The New Prohibition Director

Hon. M. E. Cassidy the prohibition director for Arizona. though much of teetotaler William J. Bryan. is what may call con- genital prohibitionist He is more and better than that-a strict law enforcement His activities ing the evils of alcohol He will be guided only by enforcement. And the officials under hin, will be kept "on their toes"
 Where there have been glaring failures of prohi- biton enforcement it has been perfectly full nowhere, there has been a. variety of causes lack of capacity by directors; lack of interest in the and a failure to look below the surface the the superficial signs the activities of small booteggers These bny epidermal eruptions which signify that something neglected underneath
 Comparatively few of the who have been drafted to enforce prohibition have been fitted that very important work. They have been chosen either for political because of their zeal prohbitionsts The latter have been no more successful than tho former. They have been fired by their zeal that their judgment has be- heated that they have been incapable of that cool calculation and purpose which be brought to every great task
 Mr. Cassidy is not coming as heated crusader but law-abiding citizen determined to make the law respected, and we regret to say that it is populary held in disrespect. He brings also the work highly developed organizing and executive ability and proved capacity for detail.
 We think it will be understood in this state, under the administration of Mr. Cassidy that there is a federal prohibition law

it Must ne Conc After

We are not bragging or harpfng upon the remark able achievement of The Republicans carrier force last Friday in one day drive. in bringing in than soo subscribers to which we have already sufficiently referred achievement
 We using that incident again only to strengthen and illustrate point and that is that there business in Phoenix if only those who want 1t will after it. If the circulation department sat down and waited. perhaps of those 300 and more subscribers would have in-perhaps in ten of them They all knew about The Repubh- can and wanted it, but only passively They intend ed suppose sometime to subscribe for it.
 So it is with other things they want-shoes, clothing. groceries. hardware and furniture We suppose there good many people in Phoenix thinking of buying lots and building They need only to have these matters brought actively their attention They must be gone after.
 Those who merely indulge in mournfu parison between the present state of trade the state of it in 1919 and the early part of 1920 are missing the point entirely. They reach the concu- sion that business is dead it is only differ ent and latent It needs be stirred up In the former period. there buying fever on. It was 50 all over the country. Clerks had nothing to do but show goods and wrap them up. The people eager to carry them away
 superficial view may lead one to think that the reason for the difference between the of trade then and now is that then the people had money buy. whereas they have less money. It is true that there money year ago than at present. Almost everybody had money then Some of the purchasers at that time have no money now.
 But very large number of people, we believe a majority, better able buy than they were then when prices much higher than at present Where there have been reductions of sala- ries and there has been a greater propor- tionate reduction of the prices of commodities And more money has been saved by wage earners within the last year. than saved during the flush war period.
 Only the buying fever burnt itself cut. There was reaction which put trade below normal The massage of left weakness, inertia That is all. This inertia be overcome by those who have things to sell whether they be newspapers, shoes clothing, dry goods and what not. The bus- ness is there but it must be after.

 We do not think there will be great deal of difficulty in securing from the senate application the principle of protection to long staple cotton We concerned about the measure of pro- lection to receive.
 It is toward ample measure that efforts be directed-to the convincing of the senators that must have the substance and not the shadow of protection. if industry is to survive

been much speculation over the pos
sible methods used in doing so.
1t was pointed out that all funds Of
the organization apportioned among
Washington banks are held in such a
manner that each check requires
three signatures, that of the drawer
and two indorsers.
A local banker who has handled
some Of the funds of the Red Cross
explained that a system could have
been used by Wilson:
The Red Cross official goes to a
bank and lets 1t be known that he
is favoring that bank with a large
deposit of funds.
Sometime after the deposit Is made,
the official calls with check signed
by himself and after his name the
words Fiscal agent" He may ex-
plain to the bank that the other
two signatures cannot be had on
short notice and asks that the tech
nicality be waived.
Rather than offend the official who
has so kindly made possible the large
deposit, the banker would keep in his
good graces by granting his request
and honoring the check or draft.
This ysstem, 1t is said by local
bankers, could easily have been
adopted by Wilson. Just how he got
possession of the organizations funds.
however, Wilson declines to say.
In case a shortage developed In
the handling of accounts by following
out the above system, the surety COM
pany would make good the shortage
to the organization as 1t will do for
the Red Cross. The surety company,
in turn, holds the banks responsible.

The Government of the United
States has received the note ad-
dressed by the SJvernment of Pan
anna on August to the American
minister in Panama replying to the
communication handed by the min
lister on August 2 to the govern
ment of Panama by instruction of
the Government of the United
States, in which were transmitted
two requests of the government OF
Costa Rica relating to the boundary
dispute between the republics Of
Panama and Costa Rica.
After the most careful considera-
ton of the statements contained in
the note Of the government of Pan
anna above referred to, this Govern
ment has reached. the conclusion
that the arguments advanced in this
communication have already been
fully answered In previous notes ad-
dressed by the Government of the
United States to the government of
Panama. 1t Is greatly regretted
that 1t has proved to be impossible
for the governments of Panama
and Costa Rica to come to a direct
agreement for the delimitation of
that portion of the boundary between
the two republics laid down by the
White award.
In view of the fact that the gov

willing to carry out this delimita-
ton in the manner provided in the
Porras Anderson convention, and
inasmuch as reasonable time,
mentioned in the note Of this Gov
eminent dated May 2.'1921. for the
reaching OF an agreement as to the
manner of carrying out this delim-
itation. has already been afforded,
there would seem to be no reason
why the Government of the United
States should. as the friendly me-
diator between the two govern
ments, or by virtue of it's special
relations to the government of Pan
anna, feel compelled to suggest to
'the government of Costa Rica that
It delay longer taking Jurisdiction
over the territory which is now oc-
cupied by Panama and which was
adjudged to belong 20 Costa Rica by
the terms of the Loubet award.
The Government of the United
States Is now advised by the gov
eminent of Costa Rica that since ii
considers that the POrras- Anderson
convention Is In force and since 1t
believes there Is no valid reason for
delaying its complete execution any
longer, IL is ready to assume imme-
diately the jurisdiction over the ter
rit0ry above referred to.
