Russian Bandits
Respect A. r. A.

Samara, Nov. lone of the largest
bandit gangs in Russia-1700 strong
which neither the Red Army nor
famine has as yet stamped out, con-
tinues to operate in the Pugachof
district, but in no way have the rob-
bers ever attempted to interfere with
American relief workers. 1t has been
estimated that about 1900 of the men
have horses. The band is made UP
chiefly of army deserters who operate
in units of Is to 20 men.
According to relief workers, the
bandits always make it point to
favoid anything belonging to the
American Relief Administration. In

AS an illustration of further con-

up to one Of the A. r. A. village
kitchens, merely tasted the food be-

GOOD BUSINESS AND SHIPPING

President Harding has very frank
~ stated his position relating to aid
for our shipping and relief to our
treasury. 1t remains to be seen
whether those opposed will be as
frank as he has been. We do not
see how they can be. for it would
seem the opposition liz not based on
good grounds, on fundamentals 10
which it would be willing to call at
tention.
1t is to be expected that an at
tempt will be made to play politics
with the measure. Indeed that al
ready has begun. And LaFollette
will play LaFollette with it. in
Process Of which pursuit he very
likely will resort to flibuster
But in effect the President has
gone to the country with his PROPOSE
ton. stating it so plainly that the
man In the street or the man in the
furrow may see clearly for himself.
The question is whether he favors
LAYING out, as he now is doing with
cut returns, from fifty to hundred
millions or whether he would think 1t
better business to let the private in
c,vidual take over the shipping of
tie country and the country pay from
fifteen to thirty millions n year to
encourage him to do it, with a
proyiso that the country might at
eny time for purposes of defense take
ever the shipping for the country's
use.
Not great mathematical ability is
required for the solution of that
question There Is no bad precedent
&c lie established. The Government
is already aiding in the building of
roads and is aiding agriculture, so
the proposal to aid the man engaged
in keeping an American merchant
marine alive is no new precedent.
Furthermore, the President demon
startes that the present policy isn't
constructive. The Government is
wearing out the ships and taking no
steps to replace nor wishes to re-
place them. Under present condi-
tons the fifty millions the country is
annually losing is subsidy to in
competency. Either give a subsidy
and get, return or take the fleet out

WHAT DO WE PROPOSE TO DO?

AS Mr. Jewell thinks we enormously
criticised his position We are finding
space for one more communication
from him, likewise one from another
evidently inspired by the first contri-
button.
1t is evident Mr.. Jewell is living in
hope of some harmless method of
selling liquor, as men have done
since the days of Noah, who suffered
a reaction from too much water.
But we would have him consider the
contribution made by our bootleggers
to the four million dollars revenue
the Province of Quebec acquired
from selling booze. Evidently the
Quebec method leaves much to be
desired before arriving at millenial
methods of dispensing liquor.
AS we understand it, people are not
so much interested in the personal
views of individuals respecting this
or that law as they are in the facts.
Well, here is one: the experience of
Norway in rationing people on liquor
and permitting wine and beer to be
sold has resulted, according to the
Chicago Daily News of October 2S,
1922, in a great increase of drunken
ness in that country. Yet the Nor
way method has been held up as a
model one.
A wet congress-and the next one
isn't of that variety-might stultify
itself, perhaps, by legislating II per
cent wine as n-intoxicating. Much
water is likely to run under the
bridge and much bootleg booze will
be consumed, however. before that
occurs. Meanwhile what do we pro-
pose to do with those hundred per
cent criminals who are smuggling and
making poisonous connections? And
are we ready to render support to the
authorities whose duty it is to en-
force a constitutional law against
that type of criminal
If not. what should be our status in
society?

cOUNTRY'S POLICE REQUIRE.
MENTS

How many of the pacifsts and
| cheeseparers, who glibly prattle
about reducing the army and the Ma
tional Guard to dimensions which
may be required for police duty, saw
in the call from Louisiana for aid
against the undermining KuKlux
conceptions of what might constitute
police duty?
Under the law 1.-THE United States
shall guarantee to every State in
this Union a republican form of gov
crnment, and shall protect each of
them against invasion and, on ap-
rlication Of the Legislature or of the
executive (when the legislature can
rot be convened). against domestic
violence"
Quite an extensive police duty if
conditions such as are reported in
Louisiana become widespread. And,
when one learns that out in certain
! western states those. who rose in
their might to crush the destructive
and secret Vaccinations of the l. w.
W.. are following in the foot steps
of the l. w. w. with petticoats over
their heads for concealment. the
, natural question to arise is: What
are we doing about 1t?
A writer in Foreign Service, the
organ of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. says:
Under the law the close of the
last fiscal year should have seen a
force of $4,000 enrolled The amount
appropriated, however, made it pos
sible TO take care of only 10000. BY
June, 1928, the law prcscribes a Ma
tonal Guard force with a minimum
strength of 35S,4O". but the funds
made available by the appropriation
act for the present year are scarcely
enough to provide for the force al
ready formed.
apparently the development of
the National Guard is to be indcfi-
nitely postponed. ever if it is not
positively crippled. And this is be-
ing permitted by body that in the
beginning indicated its intentions of
providing literally for insuring ma
tional safety"

Editorial Comment
The Drug Evil
eva Sllington Post)

The most recent revelations con-
corning the importation and sale Of
narcotics in the District disclose q
state Of affairs that may without
eXaggeration be described as alarm
ing. There is official backing for the
statement that more than 100000
worth of opiates was smugglcd into
Washington during the last year. 1t
seems almost incredible that this H.
legitimate traffic should have grown
to such abnormal proportions, but
apparently there is no doubt about it.
The commodity is so plentiful that it
is as easy to purchase as bootleg
whiskey-and that is saying a good
deal--and the vendors are SO numer-
GUS that in self defense they have to
wear a special badge SO that they
may not try to- sell to one another.
Things have come to a pretty pass
when a special dope" party of thir-
teen men and thirteen women is or
ganized in a fashionable apartment
and revcls until the dawn Of day on
cocaine. opium and heroin valued at
several hundred dollars. 1t is repor-
ted. by the way. that many such
parties are of nightly occurrence.
It might be. and even has been,
urged that the beststhing is to leave
drug addicts to their fate, but every
humanitarian impulse revolts against
so cold blooded a proposition and
pleads trumpet-tongued for the adop-
ton of ways and means to save
these unfortunate victims from the
consequences of their own folly.
Besides, there is another aspect to
this question. 1t cannot be gainsaid
that to have lot OF dope fiends at
large is positive menace to the COM
munity. From the nature of the case
they must be suffering most of the
time from some variety of insanity
and while so affected are liable to
commit acts of violence or destruc-
ton. Indeed, the actually so far
outdistances the superstition that the
detective department estimates that
60 per cent Of the major crimes are
attributable to users of narcotics.
From every point of view, then.
social and Humanitarian as we'll as
legal, the duty of the authorities is
plain. They must with renewed
energy and vigor tackle this problem,
which so glaringly confronts them,
and never abate their efforts by a jot
until they have stamped out an evil
which, like a malignant cancer, is
eating into the very yitals OF society.

More has been accomplished in the
last three years for the education

Education for Negroes of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church has expended
100000 during that time, than dur
ing any other like period in the his

Garland Penn, one Of the correspond
ing secretaries of the board.
The money expended by the board

British -Monger
Died a Millionaire

London, Nov 6--America furnishes
many instances of millionaires who
rose from the ranks. but it is doubt
full if even in America a millionaire
ever made such humble start in
life as did Sir George Frederick
Sleight, first baronet of Wetherby
Hall, Great Grimsby. who has just
died leaving fortune of nearly
$4,000, 900:
Sir Georges began earning his liv-
ing as a boy by gathering cookies on
Clethorpes Beach and hawking them
through the town. He rose finally to
be the largest individual owner OF
steam trawlers in the country The
greater part Of his feet was used
during the war for mine-sweepins
and submarine patrolling. For the
services he rendered the country in
this way he was made a baronet, and
the comforting of the title provoked
no such scandal as has grown out of
the award of many fonors in recent
years.
