Baltic Rum-Running
Shows Large Profit.

Stockholm, Aug. 13.-Legislation
in Sweden against drunkenness ani
consequent heavy taxation on liquor
and beer has resulted in very high
prices for alcohol Of every kind. So
much that smuggling of drink into
Sweden has developed all along the
coast, and it is asserted that about
5000 gallons from the Baltic are
landed and sold in Sweden every day
Recently Il German ship was said
to be anchored outside territorial
waters with cargo of spirits for
sale. In order to establish the truth
of this alleged rum running, the cor
respondent of The Associated Press
decided upon personal investigation.
With friend he embarked on six
ton cutter for this German boat,
which was expected off Sandhamn,
and after a pleasant sail in the moon
light came up with the vessel which
was riding at anchor with the usual
lights showing.
On hailing the vessel we were re-
questcd to go aboard and were re-
ceived cordially - -. e.. in. Just
waiting for somebody else" he said
'but you are very welcome anyhow"
Asked down to the cabin, the visitors
explained they were neither buyers
of alcohol nor in the service of the
customs, but only wanted to learn
something first hand about selling
spirits on the high seas.
The captain was young German
about 80 years old. "You take me
for a smuggler," he said, cor boot
logger out for business beyond the
law, but you are quite mistaken. NV

Enforcement in Frisco

Boouegging is being driven lower
ard lower in the ranks of criminality.
The closing, one after another of the
"French restaurants" in San Fran
cisco, is symptom. These institu-
tions were never able to live on the
food they sold. If they cannot sup.
plemeHt their avenues with liquor
sales now, it means that bootlegging
has fled to more secluded places and
is conducted by more outright Grim
nal characters. Which is a long step
forward toward law enforcement, even
in San Francisco, where notoriously It
is weaker than anywhere else.
When 5ootlegging is conducted only
in places where other crimes are har-
bored and only by people who also
commit other crimes, it is approaching
extinction. 1t becomes too expensive
for the poor man and too dangerous
for the rich man to patronize. This
is the only crime which can not -four
ish without the connivance of the "re-
Specialize classes. When bootleggers
get too disreputable for reputable men
to patronize, they will go into some
other business. Then prohibition will
prohibit. 1t is on its way, even in San
Francisco.

American Railroad Experts
Finish Work in Poland

Warsaw, Aug. 13.-The American
Technical Commission to Poland
working under the direction of Col
A. II. Barber, will bring it's activities
to a close this summer.
This Commission was formed in
1919 to advise the Polish government
on transportation problems. Now
that the Polish railroads are practi-
cally restored, the work of the com
mission is at an end. The help of
Colonel Barber has been fully appre-
ciated. In proof Of this he was the
first American to receive the order of
"Polonia Restituta," established by
the Polish government as a mark of
honor to those who have served with
distinction in the reconstruction of
the new republic.

Respect for Law

1t is ticklish business for any citi-
zen to claim the right to violate a
law of which he does no1 approve.
That rule, carried 70 its logical con
clusion, would make all laws a farce
and We should then have a condition of
,ociety similar to what prevails now
in Russia. Every man has his equity
in u stable and effective government
for it means tnat his property and the
lives of himself and family and their
rights are safe-guaraed and protect
cd. When respect for law is broken
down, all rights are put in jeopardy
If you and | break the laws we don't
Ike, another man will claim the right
} follow our Cxa:nrlc and will yin-
late other laws, the enforcement of
which arc vital to society. A campaign
Tor the repeal of an Objectionable law
is sound eXemplihcation Of good
Americanism; but campaign to dis
credit, by its violation, a law which
the majority have enacted and which
,nc minority can not repeal, is as dan l..
Gerous as to lead n mob or start a fire
il dry forest on Il windy day. So no
citizen who loves his state, and no
ewSTapcr which seeks public conf
Cencc and patronage should counsel
the violation OF any law, no matter
how unpopular and how unjust he may
think it to be. A bad example is more
contagious than the hubnnic plague

Saving for a Rainy Day

gaws constantly on the increasn. tb-
Price Of them Scars.
We spend our earnings lavishly and
ihsanely on all the glittering thing
which catch our eyes. Silk stockings
and chiffon dresses for the girl who's,
salary must be stretched to its last
cent 10 pay for her expenditures. Mo.
tors for the man who can't afford the
gasoline to run them. And as we go
up and down the social scale, everyone
Is spending a little more than he cao
afford for the things he desires.
But what Of the future?
Who saves today? Who puts part
of his salary away with the future II
view? Above all-who conserves him
self?
We OF today are in a feverish con.
dition. We play too hard. We spend
too much. We waste ourselves emo.
tionally.
Ard as we push ourselves to tn
limit of endurance, it never occurs to
US that what wo fling away with wan.
ton recklessness to-day might mean
health, happiness, safety--and eve,
youth conserved in a far-away tomor.
row.
We lay too much stress on the mo-
n'ent and the enjoyment thereof. We
wear ourselves to what is called =,
fraZZle in our efforts to have a little
fun. And when the fun comes we'rc
so worn and weary that we don't
know whether its flavor is bitter O,
sweet.
We don't think about tomorrow. We
over-decorate our bodies, we over-fur.
nlsh our homes, we over-entertair
ourselves. We have neither ourselve.
nor our earnings. We just dance alone
heedlessly in the procession of spend.
ing. And the youth and energy We
waste can not be regained.
II there is one message I wish al
boys and girls could receive in early
youth it is this:
what you waste today you may
long for tomorrow. Even the capac.
ity for enjoyment you overstrain with
hectic pleasures and frantic hours will
fail you when you most long for it
