character or the reverse an honest
attitude toward the moral demands
under the conditions may properly
be so regarded. One may not believe
in prohibition, but since it is the law
of the land, he is bound to respect
it as such, bound to aid in the en-
forcement of ii, TO give it a fair
chance at least. He is bound to
recognize boot-legxing as crime
and to treat it as such. And his own
good sense must tell him that it
would be a blot on the country to
allow the boot-leggers to say what
our laws shall be or how they shall
be enforced. We would be a nation
of towards, which prohibition or any
kind of regulation could not redeem,
if we were to lie down and stick up
our feet for the boot-legging syndi-
Gates to tie. We can make the coun-
try too hot for them, and that is
enc of the first things we should
do. No one need expect to eliminate
them altogether. any more than we
eliminate other criminals, but we can
take them out of the preferred class
and put them where they belong,
among the lowest grades Of criminals
with which the country is inflicted.

A JOB FOR GOOD CITIZENS

Mr.. ID. c. jewell takes occasion in
the Journals Letter Box to express
qualification that "at last" the
Journal has decided to look things
his letter we are moved to say:
Come on in. the waters fine" For
we think our correspondent is ex-
periencing difficulty in getting the
right view point. OF course it widely
differs from our own in some re-
spccts. so perhaps our estimate may
be open to question on that account:
yet we feel sure Mr.. Jewell would
not expect that rumshop next his
store and one on every corner in
Gardiner would improve his grocery
trade or make better citizens Of the
residents. The Maine prohibitory
law. whatever else one may think
OF II. improved on that. Making
Jokes about 1t shouldn't be regarded
as evidence OF its unfitness. Every
factor In civilization has been sub
jected 20 jokes.
Mr.. Jewell seems to be laboring
under the delusion that rum selling
will be regulated by the demand.
Drug selling isn't. 1t is a well estab-
lished fact that sellers endeavor to
make drug addicts. The same is true
OF liquor. The seller applies the
same kind OF effort to increase his
trade. rs that used by the dealer in
legitimate wares. Also he is mis-
taken about Maine being the wettest
state In the nation. It became less
and less wet as prohibition continued.
The open violation OF the law was
suppressed. In cities. where in the
early days OF notification saloons
were more defiant than in some Ii.

their defiance was curbed and most
Of them were put out of business.

been sodden with liquor and the
officials OF Maine as compared with
those OF other states have as a whole
been a credit TO the State. The
money needed TO buy groceries and
clothing has not gone into the till
Of the rumscIler TO the extent 1t has
in license states. And we believe
national prohibition has improved
those conditions even in Maine.

PROTECTION STANDS THE Est

one news report is to the effect
that our exports TO and imports from
south America are showing a splen-
did increase. Another tells us the
secretary of the treasury predicts
that imports will increase under the
new tariff law and better business
reports are OF daily occurrence.
Only few short weeks ago the
Democratic spellbinders and editors
and other of their propagandists were
predicting blue ruin in this country
because of n Republican tariff. 1t
would seem, too, that some of the
voters believed them. judging from
the results Of the election.
This is not cause for wonderment.
The candidate for United States
senator from New York in his cam
paign charged in utter disregard of
the facts that building was being
discouraged by the tariff. At the
time he was making that kind OF
talk the new tariff law carried
lumber on the free list. Portland
cement on the free list and also
carries brick on the free list whereas
under the Democratic or Underwood
law brick was dutiable at 10 per
cent. IL not decorated or 10 per cent
n decorated.
People were told that the tariff
would destroy trade between Canada
aud this country or greatly injurc it.
Yet Canada was our best customer
and We we're her best during the
month Of August. notwithstanding
our emergency tariff and her prefer
entail tariff in favor of Great Britain.
Now these facts go to prove the
contention OF those who believe in
protective tariff. belief well ex-
pressed in the American Economist:
"The difference between Protection
and Free Trade lies in the fact that
the Protective policy is based upon
experience. while the Free-Trade
Policy is based upon theory. Free
Traders theorize that If we impose
n rate of duty on hitherto free
article OF import the duty must in
crease the price Of such article to the
consumer. Experience proves that
the result is that prices are low
or under Protection. Free Traders
theorize that IL we increase our
tariff rates on articles imported from
any foreign country our trade with
that country will be injured. EX-
pericnce proves that Protection in
crcases our trade with such coun-
try. Protection has stood the test
OF time"

DELINQUENT CHILDREN
AND pITpIJC School


Public schools are passing their re-
sponsibility TO the courts in the treat
ment of delinquent children, in the
opinion of DIR. II. II. Goddard, director
of the Ohio state bureau of Juvenile
research. He says in many sections the
chief charges on which children are
brought before the juvenile courts are
truancy and incorrigibility, all of which
are problems he thinks school should
attempt to solve, even at the expense
of setting aside some sacred course Of
study. 1t is an important part of the
school S business to teach children
their proper relations to people around
them, he says. This sentiment is III
line with the thought of many who
have been close to the question. Many
of the states, among them, California,
have school attendance laws, which if
enforced by school authorities, would
solve the problem of child labor and re-
duce delinquency. Fear of adverse
criticism or controversy with those of
Influence in the neighborhood often
causes school authorities both in the
district and in the county to shirk the
responsibility upon the courts where
the child suffers humiliation because of
the shortcomings of his elders and
those entrusted with his education
Very often the school nurse could dis
cover the difficulty and remedy it if
she were given the chance and if there
were more of such nurses connected
With the schools. The clubwomen OF
snme sections are urging that all school
attendance officers be qualified nurses
The San Bernardino County Federation
has taken an outstanding position on
the subject and asked the county super
risors to cooperate in the appointment
of county school attendance officers tC
this end.
