HOW TO JOLT THE GANG

inNE of the paradoxcs OF politics is the
~ indifference of the public when the stu.
alton is cloudy and confused
! In theory this is precisely the time for
clarifying action and for the triumph of the
average citizen uncorrupted by trades. deals
and covert mancuvertngs. In practice the
professional politician thrivcs upon the
reluctance Of the ordinary voter to play
hand which might easily be made formidable
J Philadcphians. if their interest is sufi
Client, can swing the primaries in the inter
ost of decency and to the complete dlscom-
fture Of the contractor gang. They are
powerless, temporarily disfranchiscd. IL they
fail to enroll themselves as voters on the
second registration opportunity, which oc-
ours today, or on the last, fixed for Satur-
day of this week.
They must announce their party affili-
jations II they entertain any notion Of
making nominations in the primaries on
September 20. Gang interests passionatcly
hope that this important election will bring
N slim turnout of citizens. 4 large regis
Itration today would mean something like
a shock to such expectations.
Is 1t because the trick could be so quickly
turned that the slackers are traditonally so
numerous?

A FUTILE SCHEME

THOSE Englishmen who are said to be
l. planning to load 10000 cases of whisky
on a schooner sail 1t across tho ocean and
then with the aid of former British sub
marine chasers land the liquor on some un
frequented part Of the American Coast are
doomed to disappointment.
They would be smugglers. The schooner
would be liable TO cOnhScaton by the
American Government and the men engaged
in the crime undoubtedly would be sent to
prison, where they could reflect on the folly
of their undertaking,
The machinery for preventing smuggling
is pretty we'll organized. The men in charge
Of it have resisted temptation Of various
kinds for years. They are not prohibition
enforcement officers,
The revenue cutters which patrol the
coast may not be as fast as the submarine
chasers, but they are faster than any
British schooner. and their officers would
like nothing better than an opportunity to

was overwhelmingly Nordic. But owing to
the Nordic's susceptibility TO the rayapes

the original colonists are extant. Were it
not for the heavy and steady immigration
into .the country in the years previous to
the war from these Nordic races the lack
of their enterprise and initiative would be
