ARMS FARLEY ENDED

The international conference hello
the past three months in Washington
is ended. Delegates representing the
United States, Great Britain, Japan
and China and France comprized the
nations. 1t naturally grew out of the
Treaty of Versailles which closed the
World War. Many things could not
be done then. There was partisan
prejudices against having it done
thru the League of Nations, as it re-
lated mostly to the Pacific nations
and not to Europe. The fact that en-
tangling alliances have been made
with Japan and China against whom
there has been much political propa-
ganda under the names of "Yellow
Peril" and "The Heather Chinese
overwhelming numbers, will make
the former pleas against the League
of Nations very ridiculous.
The building of war ships and de
lenses are to be stopped. The United
States is to have a navy equal to
Great Britain. The proportion is, to
be 5 to 5 and 8 for Japan.
The vanity of Senatorial partisan
ship and egotism has been satisfied
which felt insulted because President
Wilson did not take Lodge, Under
wood, Hughes and other vain politi-
clans to Paris with him. These COM
missioners did it, and signed as citi-
e for President Harding, who is
the fgurehead for chest minds be-
whiskered.
Since Uncle Sam has been joined

Cbinaea b,+iJac in +ba Daoifc 11ro will

ganda, to create political preiudices
against the League of Nations.
Lodge and Hughes did it. Harding
was the ~fgurehead president. It is
all right. But how ridiculous egotis-
teal partisan vanity appears.

THE DRY LAW KNOCKED OUT
After Declaring Four Parts Good,
The Whole Is Declared No Good

A c~artoonist well illustrated the
decision of the Court of Errors and
Appeals by a man making all parts
of the camel o. X, but the whole
animal as a whole no good. Not only
laymen are puzzled over the decision
of the Court, but keen lawyers do
not comprehend the reasoning of the
Judges.
By a vote of 6 to 5 they declared
the Van Ness act legal in convicting
by a magistrate without a trial by
jury.
By a vote of 6 to 6 they decided the
sale of liquors could be classed under
the disorderly house act and not I'M
der the crimes act.
By a vote of 8 to 2 they decided the
Van Ness law did not violate the
State Constitution which requires the
law to embrace one object.
By a vote of 8 to 2 they decided
the law did not impose upon the
Courts duties which do not appertain
to their office.
After declaring the law good to all
four points they decided by a vote of
8 to 4 the whole was unconstitutional,
as a whole.
In fact, the decision amounts to de-
claring the prohibition law good in all
points contested but as individuals do
not believe in prohibition as a whole
and it should be abolished.
The decision sounds like the bred
Scott decision in the fugitive slave
law, which allowed slaves to be re-
covered and kept in free States. 1t
brought on the Civil War. 1t appears
to the average dry advocate that
there is need of a new set of Judges
not educated and grown up and not
appointed under the liquor inf1u-
ences and environments, as members
of Courts have been in New Jersey.
The U. S. Supreme Court a gener-
alton ago declared there is no inherent
right in an individual to sell intoXi-
eating liquors as a beverage. 1t could
not be given by individuals to legis-
lators and consequently legislators
could not make legal what they did
not have the legal right to do as in
dividuals. Of course, that is appeal
ing to the higher moral law, but the
Court of Errors and Appeals in New
Jersey has not got very high yet.
Their decision puts them in a low
moral class.
Chief Justice William S. Gummere
gave his opinion that the U S. Gov
eminent by passing the dry amend
ment to the u. S. Constitution has
taken from the State some of its
police power over crimes. AS the
Volstead law by Congress declared
the States could pass concurrent
legislation, it was, therefore, the
duty of the State legislators to pass
laws similar in form and not conflict
ing with the National law.
A new bill was ready to be intro
duced in the legislature last Monday
to take. the place of the Van Ness
law, but it was laid over until next
Monday.

A Commended AppOintment

So much is said against some of the
appointments made by Gov. Edwards
that little is heard about the good
ones. 1t is refreshing to read the
following:
John Grier Hibben, President of
Princeton University, has forwarded
a letter of congratulation to Senator
S. Roy Heath, of Mercer, on the APP
pointment of Joseph S. Hoff, of
Princeton, as the new head keeper of
the New Jersey State Prison here.

Mr.. Hoff's character" said President
Hibben. Gle has been a citizen of
this community Princeton) as long

spect and confidence of all who know
him. l speak without any political
prejudice, because Mr.. Hoff is a Dem

Farm Products Decline Due to Treaty
Defeat

In a ~colloquy with Senator Lenroot
(Newberry Republican, Wis.) on de-
cline of farm product prices, Senator
Harrison pointed out the one chief
cause.-the destruction of the foreign
markets. He said:
Il will tell the Senator how he
could have helped the farmer get
enough for his wool, and l will tell
him how he could have helped the
farmer to get a higher price for his
corn and his wheat and his other prod
ucts. The depreciation in the price of
farm products was caused by the Sem
ator and those who conspired with
him, marshaled by the leader of the
majority in this Chamber, who de-
feated the treaty for the objects of
which our boys fought and won the
war. That action disheartened Eu-
rope, broke down credit, bankrupted
industries and caused such an indus
trial and commercial chaos in Europe
that destroyed every vestige of hope
to the American farmer to again find
a market for his surplus products.
"That was the reason why wheat
and corr and the farmers other prod
ucts declined and they are going to
remain low until you can become wise
enough to see that we must have for
eign markets; until you can appre-
ciate the necessity of a sympathetic
relationship with the world and en-
gage in the solution of international
economic problems. When that time
comes we can sell u surplus prod
ucts and then the price will be in
creased. The American people will
yet see that the decrease of price of
u products was caused by the de-
feat of the treaty here with the con-
sequent destruction of our markets
abroad"
The Penn's Grove record., 1922-02-10
Air Nitrate Industry

America, despite her wealth and
progress, is at least Is years behind
countries like Germany, Norway,
Canada, France and even Japan in the
production of nitrogen fertilizers.
Though we have paid Chill to date
nearly 0,000, 900 for ~nitrates, till
very lately we had not made one
pound of air n~itrates for use on our
hard-taxed soil. Of all great nations
we are practically the only one which
has not seized this beneficent gift of
science-a gift that al saw US from
inadequate crop yields and rising food
prices. Germany alone has built up
an air-nitrate industry with an an
nual output of millions of tons, free
ing her forever from dependence on
Chill, insuring her bountiful food
crops, powder in plenty when needed
again, and even actually enabling her
to export this product of the air and
sell it for good money. Americas
hope to relieve the situation lies in
the Muscle Shoals project, and no
matter who may finish this project,
the day it starts making air-nitrates
will be a red-letter day in the annals
of American agriculture. But it will
be only a beginning-for even if de
veloped to maximum capacity this
plant could hardly produce one-fifth
of our actual needs.-Nation's Bust

TWELVE YEARS OF SCOUTING

Wednesday the Boy Scouts of
America, a uniform body larger than
the army and navy combined, cele-
brated the twelfth anniversary of
their organization. Till 1910 the
Scout movement was, as concerns the
United States, but an idea-an idea,
to be sure, that had taken practical
form in Great Britain under the
leadership of Sir Robert Baden
Powell, but one still untried here.
On Wednesday 403,152 American boys
proudly wore the Scout emblem and
1877, 900 American men gave their
time as ScOutmasters, troop commit
teemen and members of local councils.
During the whole period up to this
anniversary more than 100000 have
been members.
The movements real achievement
lies in the universal goodwill and
regard which the Boy Scouts them
selves have won. To the man in the
street the Scout uniform now stands
for courteous and useful young citi-
zenship. He instances the efforts of
the Boy Scouts during the war years,
their discipline, effective aid in such
public disasters as the influenza cpl
demic of 1918, the Peublo and the
San Antonio floods, and the recent
Knickerbocker Theatre tragedy. The
Churches and the schools have come
to see in Scouting an invaluable aid.
The community as a whole today re-
CARDS its Scout troops as a civic as
set.-New York Times.
