PROHIBITION rs. REGULATION.
(SeattIe Post-InteIligence.)

While the activities of American prohibition mis-
sionaries in England have accomplished concrete
results In behalf Of prohibition, it Is probable that
the increased vigilance OF the British government,
and the rigorous regulation Of the liquor traffic
N some measure the result of the missionaries
work. While the United States has gone the whole
length OF forbdding the manufacture and sale
toxcating liquors for beverage purposes. England
has preferred to take the more conservative course
and taper off"
Thus, in England, the public houses where liquor
is served open for sales only nine hours of each
working day.
In other directions the British government has
discouraged the liquor traffic. There matter Of
80 percent less alcohol in the beverages than under
the old conditions; and there is a heavy tax on
drink. Pleasant Iarttes inclined linger the bar
have their pleasures marred by constant reminders
that there is a tax OF some magnitude on their
recreation
British and Americans are proceeding against Mr.
BarleycOrn from different angles The United states
has resolved 10 stop drinking fat. England pro-
poses 70 taper off. In, say 10 years should all
have settled ideas 10 the best method of
combating the liquor traffic.

And 1 can imagine myself so tried
That I should thrust honor and truth
aside.
$50 at no man living I'll raise my

In anger or hate to strike him,
Till 1 know the facts and under,

That 1 shouldn't be just like him.
How was he tempted and what the

Which led the man to commit the
deed?
Il would be honest and always fair,
But sometimes the test is bitter.
And maybe the brother that's fallen

For Heaven shall be judged the

By the thing he did for another's

Than we who never such choice

About the first thing the RepubIi-
can party does is to raise the tariff
so as TO make it more difficult for
Europe to send US goods.
Lay aside the economic questions
for the moment: what is the moral
attitude Of our nation in thus rails
ing the tariff? We ought to blush
with shame. With all our business
depression we are not suffering at
all as compared with Europe. Have
we no sense Of justice, no mercy no
pity. for Europe?

number) vote on the issue of the
League Of Nations. There were
many issues in the election, and al
ways are, under our system Of gov
ernment I voted against the Dem
ocrats for many compelling reasons,
too numerous to mention here.
! If one considers the economic fol-
" of a high tariff against Europe,
he may well inquire how is Europe
ever 70 pay US If we shut out their
goods? And if Europe cannot pay
us now, how can she buy further
goods from US and with what would
she pay for them If we erect a tariff
wall against her? What will il profit
us if we increase our gold and If we
continue our sales Of goods TO Europe
so long as we never receive pay for
them in goods sold by Europe 10 US?
Obviously such one-sided trading
cannot continue. and it would be un-
desirable even If it could; for the
ultimate aim Of trade, as we'll as Of
production, is goods and low-price1
goods. TO consume and enjoy, not
goods to sell eternally and never have
any in return TO consume and enjoy
ourselves. II. II.

PROTEST SUBSTITUTE
OFFER To CUT RAIL
RATES 10 Per Cent
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-Western
states awarded 161a per cent cut in
freight rates on grain. grain products
and hay will not accept the voluntary
offer of railroads to cut rates 10 per
cent generally on all agricultural prod
ucts as a substitute according to a
protest which Clyde NJ Reed chair
man Of the Kansas utilities commits
sion and of the Management commit
tee Of the states concerned, arranged
to file today with the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The 1612 per cent cut was ordered
by the commission last month to be
put into effect on or before Dec. q,
but the railroads have opposed it in
petition for a rehearing and have
offered to substitute the 10 per cent
reduction instead.
The railroad petition, the western
states protest said lis in substance a
request that the Interstate commerce
commission stultify itself by receding
from it's original position"
The railroads have failed to show
any change in conditions, or additional
facts which were not put before it dur
ing the original investigation, it was
added, and the commission was asked
to maintain its order and put the 1612
per cent reductions into effect as
scheduled.

Renewal OF LEASE
INDICATES THEATRE
BUILDING POSTPONED

n. H. Johnson, manager of the Rich
mond Light, Heat and Power company,
announced Tuesday that the lease for
the building in which that company's
offices are now located corner Ninth
and Main streets, had been renewed
for one year.
The property is controlled by the
Victory Theatre company of Fort
Wayne, and there had been some
doubt as TO whether or not the lease
would be renewed, because of the fact
that SO year lease, held by the
theatre company. had in it provision
that a certain sum of money must be
spent in new buildings on the property
by 1928.
This clause of the lease became eff
fectiVe in 1919 but the company gained
an extension of time owing to abnor-
NAL conditions.
1t is the plan of the company to
erect a theatre on this end of the
block, eventually. However, the re-
newal of the lease with the local COM
pany indicates that construction work
will not be started for a year at least.
n H. Johnson, manager, and. G. H.
Heinie, treasurer, signed the lease for
the gas company Monday.
