THE DOPE RING

THOSE who have not forgotten the
l. "Izzy" Ginsberg case and the scandal
arising from the parole of Ginshcrg through
the efforts Of former Judge Patterson and
John r. X, Scott will do n lot Of thinking
when they read that Harrisburg drug
addict has told Judge Monaghan that George
Ginsberg, brother of "Izzy" and ono of the
men who had told Judge Patterson that
he would be responsible for 'lzzy good
behavior If released from prison, is one OF
the men who sold drugs to her.
The woman contracted the drug habit
i've or SIX years ago and since then has been
'bed' by the dope sellers in this city OF
between S17, 900 and 5000. When she
was arrested here as an addict las, week ana
relea sed on bail she says she was followed to
Harrisburg by lawyers runners, who got
$1,000 from her.
The ramifcntinns Of tho done business are
% far reaching as to aStound people VINO
have had confidence in the honesty OF thelr
fellow men. The enormous profits to he
made seem 10 have broken down whatever
moral fiber the men engaged in the business
may. once have had. And II does not seem
70 have been difficult for men engaged IN
this illegal and nefarious traffic TO find law
yers willing for consideration 10 exert
themselves TO help them escape punishment.
Judge Monaghan is engaged in righteous
work, which it is hoped he will keep up until
the head devils in the drug ring are be-
hind prison bars.

would first be diverted from the household
markets by the readiness Of some Of the
larger industries to bid against each other
for the supplies they need. If bidding once
started there is no telling where II might
end. The industries themselves would suffer
ms much as any one else and only the prof
itcers and the spectators would benefit.
The anthracite carrying roads are not
seriously hampered by the shipments strike,
But the less cxpertly organized and admin
istcred roads in the bitumnous fields are far
below the point of normal operating eff
cheney, chiefly because of defective or def
cient rolling stock There is already an
obvious tendency in some industries to use
anthracite coal in place Of the bitumlnous
that is not always available. 1t Is clear
that the spectators who could get hold of
great quantities Of hard coal would profit
immensely by the usual method of furtive
auctions.
Since the anthracite mines will resume
operations almost Immediately, and since
there is little or nothing to prevent free
movement of fresh supplies from the Penn
sylvania fields TO retail markets in this
area, quick and efficient action on the mart

PRIZE OF BEAUTY

i.nNE thing Is certain. and that Is that the
w award of the golden mermaid TO the win
lher in the beauty contest at Atantt" tlty
will not have such dire consequences ms re-
suited from the famous decision OF Paris,
son of Prtam.
Venus. il will be recalled, got the prize,
which was a golden apple, contributed by
Discord Juno and Minerva each wanted it
and, because they were disappointed, con-
trived that Paris should go to Greece and
carry off Helen, the wife Of Menelaus, and
thus provoke war.
Helen was the possessor ot "the face that
launched thousand ships and burnt the
topless towers of Ilium," one of the great
beauties of all time. though Venus. TO whom
Paris made the award. was probably more
beautiful.
The defeated candidates in the Atlantic
City contest have not the power 10 make
trouble which those other goddesses. Minerva
and Juno, possessed, To som" of them the
honor Of having been selected TO compel"
will be sufficient
But what the cvnir would like to know in
these days of femin!Sm Is why women
should prize beauty so highly. II could be
understood in the old days. when il was re-
garded as an asset Of the woman who wanted
: to make a successful marriage. II attracted
men to her and made her desirable. But
the feminists are telling US that women can
get along without men, that they are to do
q the wooing when they wish a mate and that
the men must do "a they are bid.
We are 10 have more women doctors and
lawyers and women are to go TO Congress
- and the State Legislatures. and are in time
TO be Governors and Presidents. They are
not TO be compelled to exercise their charms
upon men. So why should they prize them
30 highly? Can it be possible that there Is
an instinct born in woman which is
stronger than any OF her acquired faculties
and that 1t subconsciously dominates her
O. thinking?

LAFAYETTE-MARNE DAY

POPULAR conservatism regarding holi-
/ days will probably operate to defer for
some years celebration OF the Manp ami
versary by legislative enactment There IS
n lack Mt present Of that historical perspec-
tive necessary to give full significance to
erorhal events. Nevertheless. the meaning
Of the Marine is rapidly undergoing the
Troccss OF clariicaton.
Joffre, Foch, French. Won Kluck are
among the principals In the engagement
whose records and recolleCtions are forming
mass Of material. with which defnitive
design may be made.
The technique Of the battle. once rated
miracle, is becoming intelligible. 1t is
known now that Galleni's dramatic confer
ence with. Joffre had much 10 do with the
strategically vital movements Of Manoury's
army, which surprised and fought of,
although It failed to destroy, Won Kluck on
lis southern flank during four critical DAYS,
The three other major achievements OF the
French were the terrific, daring and COM
plctely successful drive Of Foch through the
attenuatcd German center, from Fere-
Champrnoise to Chalons- sur Marne, and the
magnificent resistance Of Serial near Verdun
and of Castelnau at the Grand Couronne de
Nancy.
That Europe and America will eventually
observed is unlikely, owing to a rather
remarkable coincidence OF history. The child
who was to become the Marquis de Lafay-
cite, champion Of liberty both in our own
country and his. happened to be born on
September 6, 1907. The claims Of Lafayette
Marine Day are thus irresistibly pertinent.
The French perhaps will be inclined to
select September o. the day when Foch, at
bay, struck and overwhelmed the Prusian
guards, as the date Of holiday calber. There
is no doubt that on September 9 the battle
| had not "ripened"
But Lafayette, despite his birth and his
signal accomplishments in his native land, Is
tnshrined in the American national pan
| theon. Mnrne day in this country cannot
be dissocinted from his memory, and the
epic engagement nearly century and a
half later is viewed here as a logical work
ing out of his ideals and faith.
When the Legislatures make the holiday,
the style will inevitably be American, not
| European.

A RlCKETY THRONE

TREEK rcyersos in Asia Minor dcfrNtS
VI which actually imperil the safety ot
Smyrna, bristle with dramatic possibilities.
For some months It has been no secret IN
Athens that the security of King Constnn-
tine on his throne was largely dependent
npon the maintenance Of Hellenic authority
in the great Aegean SEAPORT
The war against the AnAtolinn Turks ha4
been increasingly unpopular. In many
political circles in Athens the recent threat
against Constant!nOplc was regarded ms the
atrlc and preposterous. Criticism Of extend
ing the Asia Minor campaign far into the
hintcrland has also been bitter.
r On the whole however, there have been
no two opinions about Smyrna, metropolis
: predominnntly Greek in character and
peopled mainly by members of the Hellenic
race. The possession of Smyrna has beea
!. the irreduCible minimum in the program Of
Greater IIcllas. Its loss. should that occur,
will endanger not only Constantine, but the
entire dynasty.
The Venizelists. who were dazed dlsor-
Ranized and CuriOusly sulky in the amazing
and somewhat hystcriCal election following
. the death of King Alexander, have fast been
h recovering their old prestige. Many Of them,
especially those of the island Of Crete.
I, whence the brilliant Venzclos himself
emerged, are openly favorable to republic.
= The structure Of monarchism In Greece is
exceedingly rtckety. The surrender of
Smyrna would almost certainly constitute
an irreparable blow. bringing the whole
fimsy edifce to the ground.
