Prohibition and Crime.
Failure to Enforce One Law Leads
to Disregard of Others.

TO THE New York HERALD; There
is 81 lot Of loose talk and false reason
ing about the crime wave. Its world
wide scope justifes the inference that
II is the reaction of the war.
Liquor propagandists say prohibition
caused It. This could not be in Euro
pean countries. where there is no pro-
hibition. Prohibition, however, has
played its part in the metropolitan crime
tragedy.
The administrators persistent nulli-
fcation of the prohibition law has given
criminals the impression that this IS
loosely governed city. This has In
vited and encouraged their lawlessness.
A rigid enforcement of prohibition would
have flied these evildoers with terror.
In London, where the majesty of the
courts and the might of the law are
upheld, there is much less crime than
here. "Where there is no vision the
people cast off restraint. Proverbs

Fault Found With Mill Workers for
Competing With Merchants.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: The ac-
ton Of the unemployed textile workers
OF Webster. Mass, in turning pedlers
temporarily is subject to criticism.
These employees were laid off because
of a shutdown OF the factory, and taxi
ing quantities of cloth from the mill at
cost price they visited cities and towns,
selling the cloth at a profit to them
selves This sounds good, but here is
the other side:
What about storekeepers who. some
of them, have every cent they own in
the world tied up in stocks of mer-
chandise? The cities In which these
small merchants are located look to
these merchants among others to help
paw the taxes. Charity and benevolent
workers, churches and other worthy en-
terprises call on these merchants for
financial help. Now, IL the textile work
ers are permitted to peddle cloth. taking
trade from merchants. who will support
the local governments, the charity or
ganizations and other similar enter
prises? 1t is worth thinking about.

The Brick That Came Down.

The Brick That Came Down.
Economic conditions can best be
estimated after all, like the distance
to the moon or the attributes of fem
inine beauty, In relative terms or by
contrast. Therefore those who have
felt the stern hand of business de-
preston in this country will thank
the Department of Commerce for in
auguratlng monthly cable service
from the principal world centres,
making possible panoramic view OF
the state of the rest of the world and
the relation it bears TO our own
economic affairs.
The first monthly summary covers
Australia, China, Japan, India, Ar
gentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Venezuela
and Mexico. And it is some consola-
tion to learn from the cable
dispatches set forth that the United
States is perhaps better off than any
of these countries, all of which are
suffering in various degrees the pains
of detiation.
Australia is handicapped chiefly by
the low exchange rate, which has inn
paired her buying power, and this
condition applies with equal strin-
gency in most Of the other countries.
Higher bank rates, as might be ex-
pected, have failed to exercise the In
fiuence usual in more normal times,
when an advance in interest rates at
tracts foreign funds and raises the
level of exchange. In Australia, In
dia and Japan the resort to this rem
edy afforded only temporary relief.
This of course is due to the temerity
of the banks of all countries in ex-
tending what in the ordinary course
would be strictly legitimate lines of
credit.
In China a special influence Is at
work. The decline in the price of
silver combined with the disposition
of merchants to accumulate liquid
funds to pay their debts, according to
the ancient custom, at the beginning
of the Chinese New Year in February
has resulted In rigid credit conditions.
South American countries also tried
the expedient Of higher bank rates,
but, as We already know, this did not
check the dehation movement. Mex
leo, even with her rich natural re-
sources and her profitable export taxes,
could not escape the inevitable, and
the report from there shows that she
has been no more successful thar
other countries in avoiding the con-
sequences of the last five years of
needless measuring out of gold with
scales intended only to record the
value of baser metal.
In this country the consensus OF
opinion Is that the worst of the bust
nes depression has been left behind
Other countries appear to be just ar.
irving at the most trying point. When
II is over and the world is back on
the more comfortable path to normal
prosperity, we shall all appreciate
more keenly the common sense of the

AND NOW WHAT?

The announcement was made last
week that all the big railroad COM
panies are about to reduce the wages
of their unskilled employees.
Whether or not this condition will
finally reach the skilled labor remains
to be seen.
Notice of this action upon the part
of the railroad people will be received
lightly by the public unless the rail-
roads show that their motive is for
the good of the public.
There is no question but that the
unskilled labor of the railroad COM
panies has been too highly paid if it
is possible to use that term. The pay
of the day laborer under recent con-
ditions was far in advance of that of
the average man in other walks Of
life. This condition lead to discon-
tent and the reason was very obvious.
However the public is interested in
a reduced wage scale on railroads

Already campaigns for. better con-

of the larger cities, and Sank Centre
should be no exception to the rule.
Because of the unusual winter, the
annual cleanup campaigns are start
ing earlier this year than they have
for several years. Ash piles have al
ready become an eye-sore and gar
bage which has been accommodating all
winter, can now be removed without
difficulty. .-.

little city but there is always room
for improvement. Get after those
ash heaps and garbage piles early.
Slick up the premises and get ready
for an early summer.
1t is ony a matter of weeks now
before the annual touring seasn will
open and then the city and vicinity
will be carefully studied by the hun

Farm LabOrer
Commits Suicide
Joseph Singer is Found Dead in a
Barn at Greenwald-Hung Him
self with Harness Rein.

While in demented state of mind,
Joseph Singer, a farm laborer who
has been employed in the Greenwald
and Spring Hill vicinities the past
thirty or more years, committed sui
eide by hanging himself in the barn
belonging to John Spaeth at Green
wald early Monday morning.
For several days previous he had
been acting strangely and to one
party had made the remark that his
head would have to come off before
he would be right again. Late Sum
day night roomers over the Henry
Olberding soft drink store, where
Singer had his room, were aroused
by his cries and on going to his room
found him in demented condition
and it was some time before they
were able to quiet him.
Monday morning he was missing
from his room and a search around
the town failed in finding any trace
of him. About five o'clock John
Laumeyer brought the news that
Singer had committed suicide in the
hay loft of the John Spaeth barn. Mr..
Laumeyer had gone to the barn to
attend to his horses there and on 60
ing to the hay loft had discovered
the body hanging from a rafter with
a line from a harness around his neckf
He also had torn parts of suspender
around his neck which leads to the
belief that he had first tried to hang
himself with his suspenders and fail
ing had gone to the barn and secured
a line from a harness belonging to
Mr.. Spaeth.
Deputy Coroner, DR.. A. A. Meyer
of this city was called to Greenwald
and after making an investigation
gave the cause of death as being sui
eide. Nothing was found among the
