TO A EMS OF LAW.

do not wish to utter alarmist phrases states
the Churehman, "but from the reports that come to Us
from all sides, of excessive drinking among yocths and
girls, men and women, we think the time has come
when that section of the community who have a re-
spect for law must awake to the tragic seriousness and
the disgrace of the present situation. The other night
at a so-called artists ball in New York, many young
women lay on the floor drunk; liquor was passed from
hand to hand and openly displayed. In college COM
munites the condition is very serious. BOYS and girls
are hearing discussions at home on the subject of home
brews; the young people hear the prohibition law held
up to contempt and openly denounced. Under these
circumstances they find a lure in law-breaking.
we have become accustomed during the past two
years to indecent dress and lewd dancing. It seems
now that We are to become accustomed to drunken
girls, dancing with drunken boys. It is time that the
churches expressed some very forceful opinions con-
corning law and decency. II the Eighteenth amend
ment is not to be enforced, we hope that IL will be re-
pealed. Whatever happens. we hone that the present
condition will not be aggravated by any such legisla-
ton as is now proposed, that will permit light wine
end beer to be manufactured and sold. Is anyone so
rustful as 10 believe that the lawless communities
that are now making a dead letter Of the Volstead act
will confne themselves within the law when beer and
light wines are permitted? Some, indeed, who advo-
cate that change in the law are hypocritieal. They
know what the judges at the last convention of the
bar association affirmed; that such n law cannot be
enforced.
eve appeal to the bishops and other clergy of our
church, we appeal to our prominent aymen, and espe-
cially to the women OF the church, to do what they can
toward recalling America to a sense OF law. There
was hope a few months ago that our country would
Danish forever the liquor evil from its common life;
that the next generation of children would grow to
maturity without contact with this ancient curse of
the race.
"The Churehman Is glad to place itself definitely at
the side of those clergy of our church who have stood
by the prohibition law, who, in unequivocal language,
have denounced the lawbreakers and given no counsel
the Eighteenth amendment has now begun. On which
side will the church stand7"

L RUSSELL ON IMMIGRATION.

Lillian Russell, the welLknown American actress
who was sent abroad as q special commissioner to
study the immigration question, has reported to Wash
be made in the immigration laws.
The first would prohibit all immigration for five
years, the second would provide that all immigrants to
this country live here for 81 years before being per-
mitted to vote.
Our own males must live here for that length of time
and why not aliens?
Further recommendation is that no immigrant should
be permitted to remain here who will not, within a
given length of time, learn to read and write English;
and that immigration officials should come over on all
boats bringing immigrants, talking with those who will
make their homes here, learning their ambitions, and
thus being able to direct them where they should go
in America for their own and the country's best good
Applying her belief in the fve-year restriction
Miss Russell reports that Europe is ready to release
thousands of immigrants, most of them undesirable,
the moment our restrictions are lifted. It is for US to
stem such a destructive tide by Legislation which will
admit to residence here only constructive labor. We
need farm workers, not lower East Side denizens,
which are the sort most eager to enter the country.
immigration to this country at the present time is
checked, not by the lack of immigrants or boats but
by our present quota laws. Those who see restriction
of immigration as a solution to too great a proportion
of foreigners in our population consider this as prov
ing the efficiency of the quota law, while its oppon-
ents say that the restriction is entirely one of guam
tity, and that the 100000 per year admitted under the
present law are very largely of the wrong kind.

THE BOYS.

form bottle and apply it as directed some years ago
by DR.. William Osler. We are desiring to hang on to
our old boys just as long as Providence will permit us
to do so.
As examples of what we desire to retain, there is
DR.. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, who cele-
brated his eighty-eighth birthday by putting over a
regular days work; and there is Thomas Edison. sew
~enty-five, who apologized for being a few moments
late at the Office because his family was celebrating
his anniversary.
Two men, both long past the age when most men
are useful, continue to live and work and make the
world better. How do they do it? A stagnant pool
is one into which no water flows, from which no water
runs. A fresh, clear pool is one into which water
runs and from which water constantly flows. Edison
and Eliot have minds through which thought, ideas,
pictures, conceptions constantly flow.
To stay young, read. think, educate your brain.
You will never be an Edison or an Eliot, probably, but
you will be of use and live long enough to make that
use count in proportion to what you know, what you
learn, to what purpose you use your brain.

THE POST.

An ancient manuscript dating back a hundred years
before the invention of printing, relates OF criminals
being punished in a London court yard.
zone felloe was whypped upon his barge back
reads the script.
That was in the middle ages. True enough. B.
during the present month, in Maryland, not one "fel-
loe" but two, one white and the other colored, suf-
fered the self-same punishment-tied to a post and
whipped on the bare back
The crime was wife-beating. Unpopular and
frowned upon everywhere Generally agreed as hor-
rible and condemned as brutal. History does not IN
form us of the offense for which the London man was
punished. II Is referred to only to show the antiquity
of the mode of punishment Maybe he deserved all
shat he received. We cannot dispute it But surely
there is no sympathy wasted in this day upon the
Maryland wife-beaters.
The whole question turns not upon the question Of
the business of the punishment under the law, but
upon the effect such a public spectacle as a human be
ing whipped at the post. The people at hand seen it
all The newspapers reported it for others to read and
discuss. Everybody talked about it far and wide.
The matter is still being discussed and opinion is
somewhat divided as between the Mosaic law-an eye
for an eye-and the teaching of One who came with
n new law that clearly did not urge being brutal to
brutes, and upon which law civilization has rested for
nearly two thousand years.

SANITY AND MODERATION.

There always has bcen and always will be in this
vale Of tears a plentiful supply of the common,
kitchen garden variety of fool If the blessed tribe
of foolkiller would only increase in proportion TO the
census of fools, things might be different and the
world made happier.
Confning this semonette to the legislative fool,
let's give him the once over, not for the purpose of
discovering what makes him that way, but merely to
note the manner in which he y maintaining his char
acter. He is constantly attemptin to provide n REM
ety by law to amend conditions not normally touch
able by legal enactment
For instance. a Massachusetts statesman introduced
a bill to make attendance at church compulsory.
Admittedly the church is a perfectly respectable in
stitution and people ought to attend regularly,
but Massachusetts, outgrew that sort of thing more
than a hundred years ago. Tho statesman proposing
the measure must be a throwbnck to some blue STOCK
inged, blue-nosed Puritan ancestor who helped draft
the blue laws of colonial days. The genleman's bill
was chloroformed.
turning scientific theories of the descent of man. in
troduced a bill forbidding the teaching of what he
called "the cit of Darwinism." A Kentucky ieg1sla-
tor did the same thing. Nothing happened o Dar-
vinism in either case and the people of the two states
are permitted to hold sueh beliefs as they choose Even
in spite of Mr. Bryan -.
Of a school board or a court of law to determine the
length of dress skirts a parent should provide for a
high school daughter. To date the girls are wearing
any old length and the court is lodging the issue.
In Chevy Chase, a suburb of Washington, local au-
thorities have before them a proposition to muzzle
the horses of the District of Columbia to prevent them
from eating the hedges. =.
And so it goes. If it wasn't that the majority Of
legislative bodies throughout the land have moments
az sanity. we would be burdened and harrassed and
regulated and forbidden by all sorts of freak enact
ments.
II is urged that an these things are but examples
.f reaction from the liberties, relaxations and excuses
Of war times, which try to express themselves in too
drastic legal restrictions of American liberties.
Eternal vigilance is no less the price of liberty today
than before the Revolution, and only by a sane and
balanced Judgment and moderation can fanaticism,
blue law advocacy and freak legislation be held in
check.
