Demands Law and Order.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald.
L read with lively interest and
hearty approval of the admirable
letter in today's issue Of The Herald
by Alexander Sidney Laurier on
the Evasion Of Duty" He seems
to think. and rightly so. that the
government is failing in its duty
al the present time in dealing with
the labor organizations-that the
wfshy -washy policy of the govern
ment only encourages them in their
defiance of the government
No one will deny il is the duty Of
the government to see the laws en-
forced in the prote ction of life. lIb-
erty and property. While the gov
ernment does not compel a man to
work, Ii is the duty of the govern
ment to see no one, no organization
however powerful. has right to
prevent others from exercising their
God-given right to work. Labor or
canizations have right to exist so
long as they keep within bounds Of
the law, but when they defy the
law they become lawbreakers and
forfeit the sympathy of the public
at large. In the same issue of The
Herald a correspondent, who signs
himself 'One who Knows" takes
the. Wilson administration to task
for catering to an organization
whose purpose was the destruction
of order and the ultimate CAPTURE
and control of the government nv
the proletarist." President Wilson
has been charged by his enemies of
violating almost every command
ment OF the Decalogue. But il re-
mains for some ignoramus and bit
ter partisan to charge him with

sheyists,
Mr.. One Who Knows" let me
remind him the Wilson administra-
ton is not in power now and cam
not be held for any shortcomings of
the present administration. Your
charge against Wilson is nothing
less than slander But Mr.. Wilson
will survive all the contumely and
partisan lies that have been heaped
upon him. He will be remembered
when all his traducers are dead.

1t seems to me. Mr.. Editor. the
supreme moment has arrived for the
present administration to lay pol
itics aside for the present and-take

Prohibition Unpopular.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In answer to prohibition Popu-
lar" in the Herald of the 18th. in
which the author cited figures to
show that prohibition decreases
drunkenness.
The author cites Philadelphia and
states that in 1921 arrests for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct
were reduced to 5000, and that in
Louisville they were reduced eighty
FIVE per cent during the last three
years.
Stotistics ought to be reliable.
One is one the world over. But In
Current History for June. Stuyve-
SAINT Fish. former president of the
Illinois Central Railroad, presents
an analysis of figures to show the
increase of arrests for drunkenness.
In a tabulation of thirty cites of
10000 population or over. Phila-
delphia's arrests for the above
cause were s7.115. not 5000: and
Louisville's were more than dou-
bled over the previous year.
A recapitulation shows that in
these thirty cities, violation Of pro-
hibition laws increased 102 per cent.
drunken autoists increased 81 per
cent. thefts and burglary nine per
cent, homicide 1917 per cent. as
saults and battery 1874 per cent and
drug addictions 44.e per cent. So
much for figures. II they mean
anything at all. they refute the
statement questioned.
The author promises that the
prohibition law will be enforced
just as the laws against stealing,
murder and other crimes" Yes?
When? When will the law be en-
forced in the high places. among
government oficials? Is enforce
ment for the parties of ofiiciaIs of
the Northwest a different thing
from that for the negro in the
Southwest?

Americans are most popular of
all the visitors to China, according
to E. Park. a construction engineer
who has been engaged in public
works in the Orient for the past
nine years. But business is utterly
dead at present. he adds, because
of disturbed political conditions.
The moment China is unified
everything will go right ahead in
business" Park declared recently on
his return from the East. For the
last eight years not one mile of
railroad has been built-everything
being in a state of waiting for poll
tics to clear up.
Chinese war conditions do not
affect business directly. Little
classes are fighting against each
other. If a Chinese business man
in Shanghai Is asked about his po-
litical opinions, he will refuse to
commit himself to any. He will
stick entirely to business. Several
American firms have come into
China in the last Ave years, and
while those which were war firms
have closed. there among the others
decidedly there to stay.
The moment China opens up 1t
is going to open with an explosion.
and there is going to be a tremen-
dously wide field for American ini-
tiative. At present the Siberian con-
dition is delaying business in China.
American firms in China expect a
great future from shipping through
Nd NJ l.
resentatives now just standing wait
ing for developments in Siberia.
"As to the troublesome politics.
there are a number of little "Tu-
chuns. or military governors, who
are lighting among themselves. The
three strongest men in China to-
day are Chang Tso Ian in Manchu-
ria; wu Pei Flu. whom / consider
the strongest of the three in Gen.
trail China. and Sun Yat Sen.
There are two distinct types of
business men in the country; the
old mandarin class and the younger
men who have been largely edu-
Gated in America. The latter class.
OF men are progressive. straightfor-
ward business men and altogether
satisfactory to deal with. The in
dustrial future Of China lies in the
hands OF these men.

lutely safe. Resources are unlim-
tied. In investing money for devel-
opments in China 1t is wise. think,
