 LAW ENFORCEMENT

Law enforcement was the topic of the weekly luncheon of the Conway Rotary Club today, Prof. T. s. Staples of Hendrix College and Mayor W. D. Cole making addresses on the subject. Prof. Staples said the social units through which the law must be up- held consist of the home, tke church, the school, the fraternal organiza- tions, the press and the courts. He urged a closer coordination of all these forces toward an enforcement of law, those distasteful to the mai vidual as we'll as those meeting his approval. Mayor Cole spoke of the bootlegging evil in particular and told of some of the efforts he had made to lessen it. He said the condition which made the illict industry most diff cult to eradicate was the purchase of the product of the moonshiner by the so-called respectable class of citizens.
 This class of men," he said, "arc indirectly responsible for the horrible tragedy which occurred in Faulkner county last week, in that they have encouraged traffic in a product which was the cause of the crime. If we can get these men to realize that they must cease to patronize the bootleg- ger, we will take a long step forward ln law enforcement"

WINTERS COLDESI
 WEATHER COMING

The lowest temperatures of the pre- sent winter in Arkansas will probably be recorded tonight, according to the forecast of the United States weather bureau, which predicts the thermome ter will register a minimum of 10 to 16 degrees in the north half and Is to 20 degrees in the south half of Arkansas. The lowest reading of the present winter at Conway thus far was 16 degrees above zero on Christ mas morning Tonight and Friday will be fair and the temperature will begin to rise in the west portion of the state tomorrow, the forecast states.
 Throughout the north and west lowest temperatures of the season were recorded last night and this morning, with the zero line extending down into Oklahoma.
 The temperature at Conway drop ped from a maximum of 54 degrees yesterday to minimum of 27 de- grees at noon today, according to Prof. E. E. Cordrey, local observer. The thermometer began to fall late yes terday afternoon and at 5:30 o'clock D. m. registered 39 degrees. Prof Cordrey said the rate at which the temperature was falling indicated a minimum of about 15 degrees by to- morrow morning. Plumbing should be drained wherever 1t is not protected against this degree of cold and auto mobile owners should drain cars un- less the radiators contain an anti freeze solution.

Beauty and the Lions

Borough President Miller wanted
to gild the lily by giving our marble
City Hall a nice new coat of paint.
But the Art Commission protested
as regards the front and sides and
restricted his renovating brush to
the rear. That is what the facts
demand, for, as has often been
noted, the back of City Hall is moth
ing but brown sandstone, and
matches not at all the Massachu-
setts marble of the exquisite front
and sides. Back in the years before
the War of 1912, when the City
Hall was building, nobody could see
any reason for wasting good money
on the northern side of this north
ernmost building AS well decorate
the back side of stage curtain or
the under side of a stage coach.
Accepting this flaw in our love-
hest old landmark, generation after
generation has done it's best to ruin
its undoubted beauty. To-day the
heavy Tweed courthouse crowds
against its rear. The homely CITY
Court building elbows it to the
northeast. The Brooklyn Bridge
sticks out horrible proboscis from
the east. And to the south rears
the ponderous Federal Building.
with larger factor Of safety and
ugliness than any other known
structure in the world.
It's hard life that beauty leads
IN this callous New York of ours.
just at present our City Hall looks
like a very small Christian martvr
at the bottom of a vast Roman
arena full of roaring lions. We
shall continue to hope that the post
office building will be torn down.
as is now promised, and that the
other intrusions upon City Hall
Park will some day be razed and
that nobody will paint the front of
City Hall pea green. But we can't
feel- too confident. Since "Civic
virtue" arrived upon the scene
patient apathy is the best we can
achieve. Heralded as a hero of
right and beauty, he proved to be
simply another one of those things.
We shouldn't be at all surprised if
the ambiguous weapon in his right
hand was only paint brush, after
all.

The Raid on The Bench

Intelligent lawyers of both parties
unite in condemnation of the attempt
OF Bosses Murphy and Koenig to an
mex the Surrogate's Office to their
political machines. Henry A. Wise,
former United States District At
torney and one of the foremost Re-
publican lawyers in the city, has
written to Frank j, Coleman, Mr..
Koenig's candidate for Surrogate,
declining to serve on his campaign
committee.
Under ordinary circumstances, "
writes Mr.. Wise, Il would gladly &C
cede to this request. But inasmuch
as | intend to vote for Surrogate
Cohalan as a protest against what Is
plainly cheap political bargain be-
tween Charley Murphy and Sam
Koenig, and also because I believe
that Cohalan has been a faithful
servant and as such is entitled to re-
election, / cannot consistently COM
ply with your request"
There is no question as to the fact
that Mr.. Cohalan has been q faithful
servant. His conduct Of the office
has been without reproach. 1t has
been indorsed with practical unanim-
ity by the members of the New York
County Bar.
But Mr.. Cohalan has not been a
political Surrogate. He has not, in
Murphy's estimation, kept enough
Tammany men in office, and his en-
thusiasm for Tammany has been
subordinated to his zeal for efficiency
in office.
Mr.. Wise's letter follows closely
after the announcement of Professor
Leslie J. Tompkins, of New York
University, and a member of the
Tammany Law Committee, that the
turning down of Cohalan for renom-
ination was an indefensible political
deal.
1t is evident that neither of the
bosses concerned in the plot to put
Cohalan off the bench will receive
any support from the intelligent and
independent lawyers in their organi-
zations.

The Glory That Was Ours

In the salty days of the '4Os and
sos each new clipper was the one
talk of the town, and new records
across the Atlantic and around the
Horn were watched by the general
public as eagerly as home-run rec
ords are watched to-day. We are
still a long way from returning to
that zest for off-shore problems and
sea horizons. But the shift is COM
ing. One of those slow but certain
turnings in public interest is taking
place, and America, that looked
only inward to it's mines and
plains and hills and factories, is
glancing seward again.
Both for its prophecy of the fu-
ture and for its interest as a thrill
ing record of the past we shall print
upon this page the best swiftly
moving story Of those earlier years
that we know. 1t is taken from
me heritage of Tyre" a short
history of world shipping and es-
pecislly of American shipping,
from the pen of Mr.. William Brown
Meloney. The story of "The Yam
kee Whalers" is told to-day. Other
chapters, upon "The First Clipper"
East Indiamen" and the other
great eras, will follow shortly. The
account of the decline in American
shipping will come next, and Mr..
Meloney's broadly sketched theory
of how the great days may pres
emily come again will conclude the
series. We are glad to share with
our readers this record of Americas
far-fung greatness.

public places while off duty will be
welcomed by nearly all former Of

tain an interest in the arny's affairs.
Few of those who attended the

sance of the old regulations requir-
ing saluting everywhere on all occa-
sions. Even those who were rigid
in their belief in the value of the

that 1T was a mistake to make sa-

Too Modest

Apparently envious of the life Of
excitement and adventure led by the
crews of the Federal "dry navy" po-
lice Commissioner Enright desires to
send some of his men to sea to take
part in the new national pastime.
In his estimation, five launches,
costing only s77,5oo, will be suf-
ficient for the present needs of the
maritime police. Just how he is
going to spare the men from. police
duty is not stated in his application
10 the Board Of Estimate. He re-
Gently was requesting funds to estab-
lish large force Of scientific de-
tectives, insisting that the force he
now has is insufficient to cope with
crime ashore.
Sc far as can be learned the dry
enforcement officers have not sent
Mr.. Enright any summons for sid.
nor has he up to the present time
taken any particularly energetic
means to chase the rum runners to
their lairs.
The lure of sea adventure is great,
however, and one can easily under
stand how Mr.. Enright should sue
curnb to it. Perhaps if the Board of
Estimate should provide him with 2

ing by the roadside, as the man
driving into the brilliant light 10
unable to distinguish anything as he
approaches.
There have been, Of course, all
kinds Of experiments TO devise a
lens or reflector to project a shaft
of light ahead which is not binding.
But it is the experience Of the aver
age motorist that few Of the de-
vices so far placed on the market
are altogether satisfactory. The use
of DINNERS on approaching a car,
of course, is of great help. Bot not
all machines are equipped with
them, and not all drivers are suffi-
GENTLY thoughtful to use them.
The State Tax Commission is i'm
terested in making regulations gov
erning dim as we'll as bright lights.
But it is difficult not to feel that
the real problem is the elimination
of binding glares. Until this is
done there is certain to be an un-
necessarily large element Of danger
in driving automobiles at night.

Senators and the Bonus

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Senate has put the bonus
to sleep for time at least. We have
something to be thankful for, even if
the President was sustained bv The
narrowest of margins. But it is pain
full to know that the list of statesmen
who voted to override Mr.. Harding in
cluded names that we are not usually
apt to think Of as being synonyms of
demagogue.
1t is safe to assume that every Sena-
tor Who voted to override the Presi-
dent prayed while the count was be-
ing taken that mono Of the twenty
eight who did sustain Mr.. Harding
would change their minds.
1t is reasonable to expect that anv
man intelligent enough to go to the
Senate would say to the man in the
street: "Yes, the country is CRATE
full to ouraveterans. We would like to
give them a bonus. But is the coun-
try sincere enough to pay for it? Do
you, Mr.. Man-in-the-S Street, want to be-
taxed for it 2"
That. however, is question that the
Senate seems to have ignobly lodged;
a question the President met In the
only way it could be met.

on Saturday or Sunday never
failed to be impressed with the abb
surd spectacle Of d thousand dough
boys idling up and down the main
streets in search of recreation and
forever having TO snap to attention
and salute officers who like them
selves were on pleasure bent. Men
and officers alike went through a
stage of resentment, followed by
self-consciousness and eliminating
in boredom, and not a few either
stayed away from town or skunk
around back streets in order TO
avoid incessant saluting. 1t was only
natural that under the circum-
stances the regulations were fire.
quently disregarded and there grew
up schoolboy attitude toward the
whole problem. To "get away"
with not saluting was almost as
great a satisfaction for many SOL
dicrs as it is for many schoolboys
to "slip something over" on the
teacher. AS a result the regulation
tended to defeat its own purpose.
The salute has an important part
in the military scheme. Within the
reservation or camp, or while on
duty anywhere, its use should be
strictly enforced. But there are no
valid reasons for insisting upon the
same observance at other times and
in other places.

Stacking Strike Conspiracies

In granting preliminary injunc-
tion prohibiting officials of the rail-
road shopcrafts from doing any
acts, lawful or otherwise, which
would tend to promote the obstruc-
ton Of interstate commerce Judge
Wilkerson. dealt bluntly with the
contention of the defendants that
they did not have legal knowledge
of the acts of violence committed in
support of the strike. These detest-
able attempts to wreck trains and in
timidate travellers were, as the
judge says, ION such large scale
and in point of time and place so
connected with the admitted conduct
of the strike that it is impossible on
the record here to view them in any
other light than as done in further
ance of common purpose and as
part of a common plan"
1t has long been a convention
among strike leaders to pose as hav-
ing no knowledge of the crimes
which usually accompany strikes in
| the major industries. The work Of
intimidation and sabotage is confided
to what used to be jocularly called
Entertainment committees" Subse-
quently the leaders have laid their
! hands on their hearts and publicly
regretted the "indiscretions" of
these committees.
Judge Wilkerson makes an end of
such sophistry. He says that the
record in the shopcrafts strike "does
not permit the conclusion that those
who are at the head of this combina-
tion did not actually know that these
things were being done" They were
being done with the knowledge of
men engaged in conspiracy to re-
strain trade, which was in itself un-
| lawful. And these unlawful acts
were being supplemented by alleged
peaceable and lawful acts in pursu-
ance Of the objects Of the conspiracy.
To enjoin the commission of as
saults and other acts of violence
while leaving the defendants free to
carry out the ostensibly peaceful
part of their program would be, in
the judges view, "an idle ceremony" +"
The power of the law is therefore
to be used under his order to break
up the practice of using restraint of
trade as weapon in industrial war
fare. 1t is an evil practice, which
too long has been tolerated. The
shoplnen went out of their own voli-
ton. They. had no shadow of right
to try to force the roads to take them
back by interfering with transporta-
ton and by conspiring to deadlock
railroad traffic.

ming Of contract ghipbuilding in the
United States and founded the indus
try that was to make Bath famous
unto this generation. The fact, how
ever, is Of more than historical inter
est. IL illustrates, or rather demon
strates, one Of the two fundamental
and inexorable laws which determine
any nations possession and main
tenance of a merchant marine-the
ability to build more cheaply than COM
petitors. In a word, the other law is
the capability Of operating more cheap
ly than or upon an equality with COM
petitors.
Swanton, Of Bath. got the Butte con-
tract from the canny Scots owner not
because he could turn out a better
vessel. than the British builders of the
time but because his command Of ma
terial exceeded theirs and he could
undercut their price And until the
dawn of the day of iron this economic
advantage stood in favor of American
shipyards.
In 1769 the United States launched
sSs vessels, of 10000 tons burden.
Striking an average gives hfty-one tons
plus 20 bottom. While the total num-
ber of vessels testifes eloquently to
the thriving condition of shipping
enterprises, their individual smallness
affords most accurate, commentary
on the state of marine architecture in
that period. The world had not
progressed much beyond the cockleshell
stage.

The Yankee Whalers

In the beginning the habitat Of
the people of the United States was
of necessity confined to narrow strip
along the Atlantic seaboard With
limited agricultural interests, they
naturally turned to the sea. first as an
important source Of food supply and
then gradually as an outlet for their
energy and spirit of enterprise. Wood
was the worlds common and only
known shipbuilding material. The
vast and then apparently inexhaustible
forests of hard and soft woods Of the
new land provided wealth of it. The
colonists could build vessels cheaply
and quickly.
AS early as 1907 seagoing craft
was launched on the Kennebec-the
Virginia, "a faire pinnace Of thirty
TOMS" She crossed the Atlantic in
safety.
Naming the Schooner
In 1918 Gloucester launched the
worlds first schooner. The word
originally was spelled "scooner."
"Scoon" was term used in New
England of that time to describe
the skittering Of stone across a
water surface. AS this vessel left the
ways a spectator of the launching
shouted "Oh see how she scoons!"
"A sooner let her bel" declared Cap
tain Andrew Robinson, her builder,
who had been put to it for word to
describe her peculiar native fore-and-
aft rig.
In 1862 a shipbuilder at Bath, Will
liam Swanton by name, constructed a
vessel to the order of Scotch owner
in Dundee. This craft, the Earl of
Butte, was the first ship built in the
United States. In this case the term
"ship'' is used in specific and not a
generic sense.
The Earl of Butte marked the begin
