JEROME MAN HAS A
 REAL HARD LUCK STORY

Prohibition or no prohibition, Uncle Sam is always ready and willing to collect taxes for the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors and well known local dispenser of joy juice is much up a tree because of the re- ceipt of a bill from the collector of internal revenue at Phoenix for some thing over a thousand dollars, taxes to date. If he doesn't pay, he may have to do some explaining to your Uncle Samuel--,and if he does, the state will want to know what he has been selling and lot of other em- barrassing things.-Jerome News.

CINCE the tumultuous days of Oscar

NUCENT COMES BACK

M1E HAD occasion to remark in these
w columns yesterday that It is almost
impossible for any one outside the inner
circles of the ''wets'' or the "drys'' to
know the truth about the situation created
by rigid prohibition laws in the United
States. Unexpected news to indicate the
grim truth Of this assertion comes now from
New Jersey.
The Jersey Legislature, outwardly at
least, is dry by large majority. There
are twenty-one members in the Senate.
sixteen OF them are supposed to be bone
dry. They have been voting dry Mt
least. How deep under the surface do their
convictions go? The people of the State
have good reasons for asking themselves
that question now and for fearing that the
Senate at Trenton is not the least puzzling
of the innumerable minor mysteries that
are being created within the larger mystery
Of 'wet' country with a dry" 'Consti-
tional Amendment.
Jim Nugent. once the Big Boss Of the
State, is slowly working his way back to
the position of authority from which he was
violently dislodged by Woodrow Wilson
He has been named by Governor Edwards
for the Office Of County Prosecutor in
Essex. That Office Is one Of great political
Importance. With it 60 great authority
and prestige.
Nugent Is "wet"--a bitter. .euder
among ''wets.' He is an outspoken op.
ponent of Volsteadism and violent hater
of the Van Ness law. His appointment as
prosecutor in Essex would mean the nulli.
fcation of all the expensive enforcement
rules set up by the State and even hndrance
of the work Of Federal enforcement officers.
Next Monday the Jersey Senate will be
asked to confirm his appointment.
What will it do?
It will cheerfuly ratify the appointment.
say all the political leaders of the State.
Vets and "drys' alike admit that there
will be no real opposition to Nugens in
Jerseys dry Legislature. Even the
Anti-Saloon League is of that opinion,
Now, what do YOU make of that?

MENAclNG THE SHAD SUPPLY

THE plant OF the shad fishers is heard
= once more respecting pollution of the
Delaware River with oil. 1t is feared that
the spring catch this year will fall even
below that of 1921, which with total OF
10000 fish was considered abnormally
small
The problem is complicated by the great
increase in oil burning vessels, legitimate
development and yet a plague to piscatorial
progress The Government, which has been
besousht to apply remedies, cannot, Of
course, impose a ban upon the most modern
type of steamships. What should be en-
forced, however, are the utmost precautions
against carelessness.
A characteristic instance is the spiling
OF thousand barrels of oil from a Mexican
tanker recently unloading near Chester.
Blame is laid upon leaky pipe. Dcre-
hctions of this kind are indefensible, and
the indignation Of fishing interests over such
Q nagrant menace to famous and valuable
food supply is fully justified.

SERVANTS IN THE HOUSE

COME years ago q group of college girls
~ eager to apply scientific rules for the
solution OF what is admittedly the most
complicated of all economic problems
founded an organization to provide intelli-
gent and dependable domestic service in
homes where servants are needed.
They began with an assertion Of their
intention to recognize the maid or the cook
asa being endowed with the ordinary human
virtues and weaknesses with normal sus-
capabilities and with the inevitable, 10
troublesome, senses of pride. ambition. hope
and desire. They assumed that housekeep-
ers who applied TO their bureau for what
is ordinarily known as help" would be as
liberal as they and as modern minded. So
their workers were not to be known rs
servants. They were If memory serves, to
be designated as |household assistants"
and it was provided in the bond that eaili
should work eight or ten hours and enjoy at
the end of the shift the rights and liberties
accorded as matter Of course to workers in
any organized industry.
If this plan Is still operating it is operat-
ing modestly within a narrow radius. We
have heard nothing of It for a year or more.
Presumably il didn't fit the need for which
1t was devised. Whether housekeepers re-
fused to be modern or whether the house
hold assistants became too modern for the
times It is hard to say
No discussion of the joint problem of do
mestic servants and their employers such as
is in progress on another page can get any
where unless it begins with the admission
that the average American home is still the
stronghold Of an almost feudal practice of
employment, even while II is the inspira-
ton of almost every movement devised to
ameliorate the conditions Of employment
elsewhere.
Homekeepers ardently help movements
which bring about factory laws, and laws
to guard children in industry and laws
which specially safeguard the welfare OF
women IN organized industry. But the
home itself seldom permits the intrusion of
labor reformcrs and it vigorously guards
itself against any one who ventures to sug-
gest that its ancient and unchanging rou
tine should be disturbed in the interest Of
those who do the hard work by which 1t Is
made pleasant and inviting.
There is no servant class in America.
Progressive ideas of liberty are in every
girls head. And every girl in her secret
heart cherishes hopes and wishes very much
like those that animate her mistress The
implication OF inferiority present in the
manner Of many employers Of "hired girls"
does as much as anything else to create
what Is known es the servant problem.
Girls turn away from the protection and
shelter and comfort which domestic service
would bring them for the harder employ
ment Of factories not only because of shorter
hours. They do not want to be talked down
to, especially by women. That is the prob
lem. Let the pundits do what they can
with Il.

POOR BRlNDlE

ITARRY L. BRINDLE, the defaulting
II clerk in the Auditor Generals office In
Harrisburg. must serve two and one-halt
years In prison and refund the money which
he took, although. according to Charles a.
Snyder, under whom the defalcation took
place, he had done only what others had
done before him. The only difference was
that the others returned the money they
took, while Brindle's defalcation was dis
covered by outsiders before he had an op-
portunity to return the money.
Mr.. Snyder said that fully $500, 900 had
been taken in the same way and put back
sgain. But he did not say who did 1t. and
he did not seem to regard 1t as at all
strange that 1t had been done.
Brindle himself doubtless did only what
he knew others had done, and thought he
vas simply following the custom of the
sf6ce. But why did not some of the men
who had been using the State funds go TO
che relief of Brindle when his shortage was
discovered? Was 1t because he was only a
little fellow and did not need to be taken
ere Of?
Poor Brindle! He suffers while Others
equally guilty-according to Mr.. Snyder-go
scot free.
