as well as they could to Gov. Cox, who
had won at San Francisco partly
through their support.
Let us speculate. then, in this wise:
Wet control of the next Congress; a
wet measure passed unacceptable to
the President; veto by him: failure
through a lack of strength to pass the
measure over the veto.
Inescapably, thus, we come to this:
Prohibition thrown into great prom
inence in the campaign Of 1924 as re-
spects both the presidency and the
Congress, with the vets showing all
the power they can command both at
the national conventions and at the
polls in the following November.
The drys are in control of the situa
ton. Prohibition is the law of the
land, and with as much claim to obedi
ence as any other law in existence
and it should be firmly and thoroughly
enforced. Whenever the issue is
raised, in Congress or out. it should
be met, as it has just been met, cour
ageously and unflinchingly.

The Speeders and the Court.

1t is intimated that hereafter Vio-
lators of the speed rules will, when
brought to court, be fined to the maxi
mum point. in an effort to break up
the speeding practice. But Will not
that prospect cause more OF those VINO
are arrested to forfeit their collateral,
even though the collateral has been
increased? What means are to be
adopted to insure the presence in
court of those who are arrested for
speeding?
1t is said that at present many of
the forfeitures of collateral are the
result of the crowdins of the court.
Men who have been arrested and have
deposited collateral at the stations go
to court next day, wait for two or
three hours in the corporation coun-
sells office for hearing and then go
away. preferring to forfeit rather than
spend any more time. 1t would be in
teresting to know what percentage of
those arrested thus actually go to
court and then leave for lack of at
tention.
The establishment of a traffic court
is the only practical remedy for such
a situation Violation of traffic rules
is not necessarily grave offense. 1t
indicates no marked degree of turpi-
tude. Often it is the result of thought
lessness, or possibly of misunder-
standing. Sometimes it happens that
the bicycle policeman is wrong. The
person arrested is almost invariably
a law-abiding citizen. who should have
the best possible chance to defend
himself or, if guilty, to submit quickly
to penalty.
Bills have been introduced in Con
gress for the establishment of traffic
court, but no action has been taken on
them. Is there not chance that one
of them may be taken up and pushed
through before the recess is ordered?
The present situation of congested
Police Court and an intensive cam
paign against speeding. certain to
lead to even greater congestion or to
a larger number of collateral for
FIXTURES. surely demands action.

Laws and Their Enforcement.
A press news story says:

Effort to break through the har-
riers of the new percentage immigra
tion law was discovered yesterday by
the bureau of immigration, when it
was reported that a party of Polish
Jews Were arrested in Key West, Fla,
for attempting to enter from Cuba
without legal authority.
commissioner Husband said extra
precautions were being taken on the
Mexican border and along the south
ern coasts as a result of wholesale
efforts to smuggle. in European
aliens"
The temptation for these efforts is
great. Europe is in state of distrac
ton. Great numbers of people are
keen upon the idea of leaving and
finding homes elsewhere.
In the eyes of all such people Amer
ica is the land of promise. They had
heard about it before the war. But
since then they have heard still moro
about it. More than ever it appeals tC
them as the land of plenty. and the
field where labor is best rewarded
Hence their overpowering desire to
enter. even against the restrictions
Congress has recently imposed.
Those restrictions. of course. must
be carried out. The border-the whole
length of it, Mexican and Canadian
must be as closely guarded as the
gates of our leading scaports.

tiances are becoming a sort of fashion

but a recognition of the unworkable-

So with a few machine guns and

The Governor Arrested.

The Springfield comedy moves along
another act. Sheriff Mester sits pa
tiently in the corridor of the Illinois
statehouse until he demonstrates his
purpose to serve his warrants on the
governor, and the state executive
finally submits to arrest and gives
bond. His legal advisers note on the
bond that it is given under protest
with no abandonment of the claim OF
immunity.
SO now the governor is in the hands
of the judiciary department of the
state, but he continues to function as
executive, and it remains for him tC
demonstrate how the application OF
due processes of law has prevented his
execution of his trust as the head of
the commonwealth. The sheriff was
careful not to present himself with his
warrants at the governors desk. and
thus interrupt him in the discharge OF
his official duties. All the niceties of
the case have been scrupulously OBJ
served.
Maybe the governor will now seek
the aid Of the law and ask in another
jurisdiction for writ of habeas cor.
pus to test the right Of the Sangamon
county court to hale him before it dur.
ing his term of office. The end Of the
legal complexity is not yet. But for
the nonce the claim of immunity
which the court in its ruling has
styled by Interpretation that of divine

Our South American Trade.

That which was feared. and against
which innumerabIe warnings were
uttered in our South American trade,
is apparently coming to pass. We are
again yielding ground to our old
time rivals.
1t is true that business conditions
in those countries are generally bad.
But this is not surprising. South
America is simply suffering from in
fiuences which are unfavorably felt
throughout the world.
The feature of the case which
should give us concern is that in
these untoward circumstances United
States trade seems to be suffering
more than that of other countries,
and to be displaced by European and
particularly by German trade. Thus,
in Argentina, few American statesmen
are now to be found, and some Amer
lean branch houses have gone into
liquidation. Incidentally, German
goods are being sold at from 20 to
rs per cent less than American goods.

The Soviet and the Famine.

So long as the workers at Moscow

has lately left Russia after a pro.

If this Is true, and it sounds reason.
able, Russia is today precisely in the
same situation, politically, as in the
old days of the czarist tyranny, with
the people held in subsection by very
small percentage under strict military
discipline. So overwhelming were the
odds in terms Of force capacity against
the millions Of sufferers that they did
not dare to rise in revolt. despite the
most atrocious fmpositions. And sc
today, though the wish to be free from
the soviet misrule is felt by probably
s5 per cent Of the people, they fear to
start the process of self-liberation.
Bolshevism means, literally, the
adoption of the ultimate or maximum
doctrines of communism. 1t does not
mean majority in numerical sense
And at no time since Lenin and Trot

Recess and the Fiscal Bills.

Prospect OF q recess may have the

the House next week and put on its
Passage at once, with likelihood of
enactment by the 20th. With that
measure out of the way, and the Sen

tee for both the tariff and the tax bills.
1t is urged that there is no particular
reason for continued sessions and j
recess for month may be taken.
There will be no demur to this pro
gram if it is assured that during re-
cess the Senate committee will pro-
ceed unfiaggingly with the shaping of
the two measures, and that there will
be no ultimate delay. 1t would, how
ever, be more to the point of early re-
lief of uncertainty as to rates and
prices if the Senate could pass the
tariff bill before recessing. leaving the
tax bill. possibly. for reframing mean

that the fiscal legislation. the chief
purpose of the extra session apart
from the enactment of the necessary
appropriation bills left over from the
regular. will he postponed until au-
tumn. That there will he d stiff fight
In the Senate on both bills is assured.
The tariff bill will come first. and the
debate will doubtless be protracted.
That on the tax bill is certain to be as
vigorous and extended. The confer
ence processes will be probably of the
usual length. Final enactment on the
two measures cannot, therefore. be
looked for until the latter part of No
vember. unless records are broken in
their handling.
The sole question in respect to the
recess is whether the taking of a Va
cation will in any desree prolong the
waiting period. Some believe that it
will hasten action, that members will
return from their rest recuperated
and with more active minds. But the
members of the Senate committee will
presumably not be on vacation mean
while They must keep on the job
unremittingly and, unless they are to
disappoint the country sorely. must
be prepared to present the tariff bill
promptly upon the reassembling of
the houses.
If the Senate could effect gentle

bate on the tariff bill in advance of its
submission much time would be saved
and recess rendered inadvisable. But
this is unlikely. Although much that
is said in a debate of that character
Is always academic. those who say it
prefer to have before them specific
propositions to attack or defend. The
best that can be hoped for is some
form Of debate limitation, to put the
two measures upon the shortest COM
mons of consideration in the Sem
ate consistent with full understanding
and exposition.
The country is not concerned in the
fatigue of the legislators, but it is con-
cerned in the earliest possible settle
