Lawyers and the Law.

The judicial section Of the American
Bar Association. now In session at
Cincinnati. made this pronouncement
yesterday:
"The people of the United States
have undertaken to suppress the age
long evil Of the liquor traffic. When for
lawyers. bankers, merchants and man
ufacturers, and social leaders, both
men and women, scoff at this law, or
any other law, they are aiding the
cause of anarchy and promoting mob
violence. robbery and homicide. They are
sowing dragons teeth and they need
not be surprised when they find that
no judicial or police authority can
save our country or humanity from
reapfng the harvest"
This is an appeal and a warning to
men and women at the top Of our po-
litical and social structure. Noblesse
oblige is very frankly expounded. The
law is the law: and not one law-one
chosen to suit personal taste and con-
venience-but all laws, must be obey
ed. The Volstead law has the same
claim to obedience as other laws. A
violation of it is an encouragement Of
law-breaking in general.
The poor man with a thirst com.
plains that he is Disseminated against:
that by the closing of the saloon and
the increase in price the stuff" is put
out of his reach; that the rich man
has a cellar, and can fill it even with
the price sky high.
The law is for the rich and poor
alike; for the man at the top as well
as for the man at or near the bottom.
It is especially important that the
man at the top obey because Of his
prominence and influence.
This pronouncement at Cincinnati
comes from. the top. The American
Bar Association is splendid organi-
zation, and is admired as much for its
character as for its intelligence. The
members are officers of courts Of JUS
tice. and speak in this matter with
justice for all in view.

ernment losses mounted heavily. The
chief government loss was at Boiling
Field in October, when $45o.0o0 dam
age was done to airplanes and build
ings. Apart, however, from this sin.
gle item. the governments fire losses
during the year were unusually heavy.
This matter of the government
losses by fire il attracting attention,
particularly in view of the fact that
there is no insurance, that losses are
total. and that apparently little is done

The writer says:
'It is deplorable. to say the least. that
peril and havoc Of fire to the extent
that it is. No self-respecting business
enterprise would think of taking such a
chance as the government seems to be
disposed to take. The lethargic state OF
mind that the government manifests on
a practical question such as prevention
and control Of fire Is beyond my own
personal understanding. And this. par

like way than it has done and fs doing,
particularly in respect of fire prevention
and control. The very fact Of the record
Of fires in Washington is enough in my
estima tion to make the government feel
ashamed of itself"
1t has been for many years noto-
rious that the government risks in
the public buildings in Washington
were so poor. owing to neglected con-
ditions and bad construction, that if
insurance were sought, in departure
from its fixed policy. the government
would have to pay the highest rates
charged. 1t has been often urged that
no matter if no insurance is ever
sought, the government should apply
to its own property the test Of the
rate measure of scurity and proceed
to make its own holdings safe. Incal-
culable values in physical property
and In irreplacable records, not to
mention thousands Of human lives,
are exposed to destruction daily in the
business houses of the federal service
in conditions that. as the writer Of the
letter above states, would ..ur be toll

enterprise.

The Governments Fire Losses.

The annual report of Fire Chief
Watson presents figures that should
be studied by those in charge of gov
ernment buildings and particularly by
the congressional committees dealing
with the housing of the federal public
service. During the fiscal year just
ended the total estimated loss by fire
in the District amounted to $919,982,
an increase over the preceding year
Of $490,104. The fire losses of the gov
ernment exceeded all others, the latter
being $41s,s52. The local private
losses were actually less than the year
preceding by S10.02s. while the gov

the gubernatorial nomination-Judson
Harmon and George White, chairman
Of the democratic national committee.
Former Gov. Harmon has scarcely
been heard Of since the Baltimore con-
vention, nine years ago. He cut but a
small figure at that meeting. and at its
close dropped out Of sight and calcula-
ton. During the Wilson regime he
was not consulted either about Ohio
affairs or any affairs.

however. and this, 1t is thought. could

The same is true Of Mr.. White. His
election to the governorship would not
advance him to a place among the ma
tionai leaders Of the party. nor put a
crimp in the Cox boom, which is al.
ready booming.
~. Whites nomination would re-
quire his retirement from his present
post. and that would bring on a hum

each in force. and the first skirmish
Of the great battle for control Of the
next democratic national convention

Bathing Suits.

A few years ago the two midsummer
months were alone considered safe for

increasing number is learning that

Der. The bathing suits may-like the
autumn days now fast approaching
begin so late and end SO early" But
there is much longer period Of the
year during which they are a definite
part Of the national costume.
All in all. the present prevalence is
a mighty good thing. The more con-

nation has the better for the nation.

The West Virginia Crisis.

On the eve of the expiration of the
time limit set by the President for the
dispersal Of the armed bands in West
Virginia little evidence appeared that
the proclamation issued on Tuesday
had been needed. The forces illegally
assembled were still in the field, in
some cases engaged in skirmishing
with the state troops. Lives have been
lost on both sides. A proclamation
Rad been drawn and signed by the
President declaring martial law in the
five counties affected by the insurrec-
tion, ready for PRONUNCIATION.
Doubtless much difficulty has been
encountered in getting to the trouble
makers word of the Presidents COM
mand to disperse. The country is wild
and rough and difficult Of access. The
men themselves are camped in COM
naratively inaccessible places chosen
for strategic purposes. They are nat
urally suspicious Of any approach, and
1t would be surprising if they had been
reached with the word that the power
Of tbs United States had been invoked
xac is about to be applied if they per-
sass In their unlawful purpose.
There can be no doubt, Of course, of
the result. II the forces are not dis.
persed in obedience to the Presidents
proclamation federal troops will 10 sent
into the fed. This does not mean
necessarily Q pitched battle in the hills.
There is a chance that when the
United States forces appear the insur.
gents will realize the hopelessness of
their position and withdraw. Presum-
ably full opportunity will be given
them. 1t is the last thing to be de-
sired that blood be shed in the restora-
Con of order. But if after they are
encountered these men refuse to dis
band and return home they must be
treated as public enemies, with the
sternest measures Of compulsion.
It is stated in today's dispatches
that some of the miners have already
sent word that they will disband if
they are guaranteed protection. 1t is
not clear just from whom they feel
they are in danger. But it is evident
that there are factions in the hills, ana
that only the federal authority is ca
pable Of Strengthening out this most
deplorable tangle.
At the bottom Of the whole trouble
lies the conflict between the mine own
ers and the operators. The mines are
only in part unionized, and there has
been trouble between the union and
non-union workers for some years.
District organizers have tried to Or
ganize all Of the coal operations, but
evidently many hundreds of the
miners refuse to be enrolled. prefer
ring Independent employment.
1t is idle at this crisis to consider
where lies the responsibility for this
lamentable state Of affairs. The thing
to be done now is to restore order,
even If war must be waged, and the
United States stands ready to apply
the force necessary after giving full
warning.
