OUR GREAT BEER MYSTERY

TNHE tone as we'll as the text of Attorney
l. General Daugherty's final comment on the
now famous beer ruling Of Mr.. Palmer was
such as to make the country pause and
ponder. The dry forces were rallied not
only in Washington but throughout the
country to force a revision of the decision
under which Il doctor may prescribe n kcg
Of beer for a patient or even n vanload of
ale. 1t was freely prophesied that Mr..
Daughcrty would make wreckagc of the
ruling issued by his Democratic predecessor.
He has done no such thing.
"A case of this kind said the attorney
general, will not be reviewed at the re-
quest of any organization like tho Anti
Saloon League Self determination for
tho representatives Of government seems TO
bc pretty firmly established for the time at
least in Washington
The brewercs. according to all reports,
are firing up in an atmosphere of jublation.
1t was Mr.. Palmer himself who suggested
that before long beer might be bought at
soda fountains. A country trying TO adjust
itself decently to law which nobody seems
able to understand or clearly define is drift
ing further into bcwildermcnt.
And it is altogether probable that a poll
OF the population would show nine out of ten
persons TO be pretty thoroughly disgusted
with the work Of the extremists on both
sides Of the prohibition question, who are
responsible for the present disgraccful con-
fusion and the debasement of federal law

find some way TO do It which is free from
the objections that lie against the hastily
devised war taxes
AS the members of Congress approach the
task before them they are coming to agree
with Mr.. Kahn not because he has set
forth his views, but because when confronted
by the facts they are forced to come to the
same conclusions which this distinguished
New York. banker has reached.
II may be too much to hope that Congress
will approach the whole question in q judi
cial temper. The members are politicians
They hold Office because they have been able
to convince their constituents that they are
"fricnds Of the pccpul." Their determine
tion to make the rich pay the cost of the
war through the surfaces on incomes and
through the excess profits tax was dema-
gogic. They will find IL difficult to refrain
from the same kind Of demagogy in framing
new tax laws. But they ought to exercise
all their self control and face the situation
in the temper of men who wish to solve the
problem rather than in that of men who are
merely seeking to pandcr to the prcjudiccs
Of the uninformcd in the hope of winning

A NEW STATE FANTASY

DISSATISFACTION with state frontiers
- is Il spirit which has. fortunately. been
but little manifested in the tide Of American
federal history. The fostering Of such a
sentiment would naturally lead to almost
intcrminablc complications. and it is hence
unlikely that tho singular movement origi-
mating in northern Idaho will pass beyond
the stage of harmless discussion.
The scheme. for which propaganda fund
in the modern style is sought. involves the
Of the Idaho panhandle and adjoining parts
Of Montana and Washington. The acQuisi-
ton from the latter state would include the
important city of Spokane. already picked
by the propHgandsts as the capital. The
opinions of Washington and Montana folk
on this project have not vet come East but
it is not extravagant 10 forecast an un-
favorable verdict.
There is indeed. but single instance
that of West Virginia in an exceptional
crsis-of radical alteration in interstate
boundaries after admission Of any common
wealth to the American federation. In
Texas it is true. changes are still within
the realm Of possibility. since the act ad
mtting that state to the Union in 1S4J i'm
posed the condition that Mt any future date
the largest Of our sovereign commemorative
might be carved into four quarters privi-
legged to solicit congressional approval.
The time is perhaps coming when n state
approximately as large as continental France
will be divided There would be nothing
fantastic in such n process. But the Idaho
idea appears distinctly impractical and is
interesting chiefly for its rather naive Oddity.

Industrial Leaders Should Help
The most vital problem facing the deaf
is recognition and co operation from indus
trial leaders. 1t has been proved that deaf
people are more efficient than hearing per-
sons in some types of work. and that along
many other lines they can work equally well
as normal men and women. Some firms and
large employers know this and are placing
deaf persons in their plants as much as
possible. But the majority of industrial
leaders have not as yet accepted this fact.
There must be a greater willingness on
the part of employers to give deafened men
and women a chance to show what they can
do Those firms who have been willing to
test them out have been more than satisfied,
md employers have reported that the appli
cants have made good and they would not
want to lose them. The highly developed
powers of concentration which many deaf
persons possess, coupled with close applica-
tion TO work resulting from the keen desire to
make good, give the dcafcncd worker an ad-
vantage over the hearing one in many posi-
tiODs, and he is frequently Of more value.
The deaf do not ask for any concessions
or sacrifices on the part Of business men in
their efforts to interest them and secure their
willingness to give the dcafcned applicant a
chance. They only ask for an opportunity
to prove the efficiency Of the deafened person.
Because of the old idea that the deaf
person could no longer hold his place in
society, hard Of hearing persons are not
leaders. They have allowed the reins to
fall to others, and most of them need to be
directed. But they are being taught to 90
ahead on their own responsibility, learn
again to be leaders. to substitute eyes for
ears as far as possible
There is no question that lip reading
is going to bring about even greater better
ment for the hard of hearing"
