Waller Says Crop
Not Damaged Much
by Rainy Weather

That the present inclement wealth
er has not had bad effect on the
planted potato crop is the opinion
of G. w. Waller, potato broker and
himself large planter, of Hastings.
"There is some rot in low Places
said Mr.. Waller, "but these are
where planting was done during or
just before the present rainy wealth
err. This caused the first to stick to
the cut side of the potato and in
some instances has caused rot"
"There is absolutel ynothing to be
alarmed at, and everything is in
splendid shape. I have about two
hundred acres planted and | suppose
l will have to replant fifteen acres.
That is about the way it will run.
There will be less than 5 per cent of
the crop replanted and this is moth
ing unusual"
Mr. Waller is very enthusiastic
over the future of the potato crop
this year, and while he does not care
to be quoted on what he thinks the
price will be he indicated that it
would be such as to make a good
profit for the grower.
A good percentage of the potato
crop in the Hastings, Federal Point.
Orange Mills, East Palatka and Elk
ton sections is already planted and
several hundred acres are up. The
present rainy spell has in no wise
dampened the enthusiasm of the
planters, for majority of them saw
that the best crops have always been
made in a rainy year.

Making the Country Dry

nRESIDENT HARDING is under no illusions
i in regard to the prohibition law. He knows
that, it is here to stay. He knows that some of
the disahected elements working for its repeal
have as much chance of accomplishing their pur-
pose as has the. average Washingtonian of getting
the best OF fraudulent stock deal. The same
should be apparent to everyone who notes the diff
ference between today and yesterday between the
days OF the open saloon and the days of crowded
churches, between the days of pathetic poverty and
the days Of general prosperity The American
people are in no temper to brook interference with
the dry laws.
Mr.. Harding told body of Christian minis
ters the other day that they need have no fears
as to the permanence of this legislation They
need never have entertained any doubts. The
prohibition laws built on a structure SO solid
that mighty political storms indeed would be re-
qured before they would be shaken They are
built upon the militant determination Of the Amer
ican people to be rid of of the greatest curses
ever introduced among the human race
We also are glad to that Mr.. Harding
recognizes the other side of the questionable vital
need OF more rigid enforcement. If he can 20 out
OF office with a country dry in fact as we'll as in
name he will have accomplished one of the memor-
able tasks in the history of this country. He is
making excellent progress. He has selected lieu
tenants who are sincere in their determination to
drive John Bareycorn across the Rhine and who
are functioning efficiently in spite of the difficult
ties which confront them every side.
We believe that the high tide of liquor law
violations has been reached For the past two or
three months there has been less open defiance.
1t has become more difficult to obtain intoxicants
IN the average American city. The authorities
have the bootegger the run. In the District
OF Columbia, for example, he is making his last
stand. The police against him. The enforce
ment officers are against him. Public opinion
upon which he confidently has counted for sup
port. is against him. He cannot ply his pernicious
trade in poison liquor much longer
Enforcement OF prohibition was, perhaps, the
most vital problem which Mr.. Harding faced when
he entered the White House. Conclusion of peace
was important. Reduction of taxes was important
But they were no more important than compelling
obedience to OF the fundamental laws of the
United States-a law demanded by the people and
tested thoroughly in the courts. The admnistra
ton is making excellent progress in that direc.
ton.

The Fallen Idol.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The more one studies the fight be-
tween Carpenter and Sikh. the more
absolute does the defeat Of the
champion appear. 1t is true that
Sikh may have committed a foul. but
even those who assert this most
strongly admit that Carpenter was
already a beaten man and that con-
sequently the foul did not affect the
result. Not even I'm his match with
Dempsey did Carpenter receive such
severe handling. and Il is probable.
indeed, that never in our time has
a pugilist been so badly knocked
about and so utterly defeated. II
would be altogether absurd and un-
reasonable IL the decision were re-
versed and Carpenter given the
night en- a technicality. Carpenter
has been the victim of his own
over-confidence and Of his desire to
mingle acting with boxing. He has
had q great career. but that must
not blind our eyes to the fact that
his day is over and that he must
now give pride Of place TO younger
men

Auto Speedsters.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In the discussion of the problem ~
lessening the number OF traffic accI-
dents. the suggestion is made that
there be strict enforcement OF the recu-
lation that permits a speed OF Is miles
per hour between streets but require
reduction to IL miles at crossings \
moments thought will show that this
is impractioable. On all streets where
there is likelihood Of accidents there
is practically a continuous line OF
autos.
II the cars crossing streets must
slow down TO IL miles. IL follows in
evitably that the whole line must slow
down. for the cars in the middle Of
block can not go faster than those
crossing streets. There Is small dan
ger from autos going at a rate Of is
miles. The danger is from autos tina;
go 15 to 30 miles per hour-and
there are plenty OF them that do it.
The remedy Is not 10 be found through
arrest Of those who violate a le or
an Is mile limit TO a small extent
but those who grossly exceed the latter
rage.

When We Pity the Police.

COMEIlMES inc ,ined to blame the no.
~ lice for too much oficiousness in enforcing
trafhc regulations. But VIC realize that there is a
good deal to be said on the side OF the uniformed
guardians OF the law. The ignorance of some
Washington people is startling
young man OF acquaintance for example
Is indignant and angry today. He has been driv
ing roadster for about three months The other
night, while slightly intoxicated he drove around
the Speedway at ifty-four miles an hour He was
accompanied by another young man and two girls
the entire party somewhat envened by bottle
oi corn liquor. There tail light on his car
HE was pursued and stopped after an exciting
chase To judge from his own story of the affair
ne insulted the po'icemen who arrested him in 4
fashion that must have CALLED the souls OF red
blooded men. They forced him to drive to the
nearest station where he deposited $40 collateral
after protesting vigorously
vi course he was drunk at the time and didn't
know what he doing. But the day after he
retained all his indignation. He asked our advice
on hiring lawyer and fighting the case in court
believing that he could get back his $40.
We told him that he was very lucky vou,g
man and should let we'll enough alone We have
enough confidence in District Judges TO believe
that they would have fined him more than the
amount OF his collateral They might have Gen,
him to Jail-which would have been lust and
proper. But this fellow, who holds District per-
NIT to drive. thinks he has been imposed upon, He
thinks there is freedom left in the United
States and muttered under his breath something
about going to Russia"
The police of course. open to criticism in
this case. They should have put the young man
IN cell overnight. They should have taken at
least 500 collateral He should be forced to give
up his permit to drive. But writing this
merely to illustrate the moderation with which Dis
trict officials are inclined to deal with ofenders-
and the unparalleled ignorance of some drivers.
We sincerely hope that the young man. against
whom we have no personal grievance whatsoever
does not get off lightly the next time he drives
around the Speedway in intoxicated condition
The security of the public demands that he 90 to

deliberately entrusted the lives of the Dis
trict people to cars upon which insur-
be obtained against accident? This is a
serious charge which officials of the North Capitol
and lexington Citizens Association made. The Dis
trict Commissioners should look into the facts. If
these are established, is there no way open to bar
one-man cars from the streets of Washington?
Insurance companies willing to take any
reasonable risk. Their business is established upon
minute. accurate calculations. If the margin of
safety existed in respect these rocking chicken
coops the traction company would have no diff
Guilty in obtaining appropriate policies. Insurance
IS not issued refused on sentimental grounds.
The COMPANIES haven't tokens worth of interest
in the discomforts OF Washington people They
are concerned only with those mathematical laws
which govern chance OF accident
OF course. the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Co. is liable for damages if serious casualties
result from the use of its poultry pens But the
ability to recover will prove poor comfort to pa
irons who are badly injured. 1t will not restore
lost lives II the North Capitol and lexington
citizens are correct they nave built up a powerful
case against the further use OF these cars. They
have established that the officials OF this traction
company have pitted their Judgment against
the judgment of experts-that in order to save the
salaries OF few men they are wiling to play
iaSl anu IOOSc WIFI ives OF DlStrct residents.
We hope that 7. Homer Hall, who led
the attack at the meeting few nights ago, places
his evidence against the company in the hands OF
the District Commissioners Let them see just
how strong a against the onc-nan car is
built up by statistical study.
In the meantime District people have been
warned. They should refuse to ride until some
consideration is given to their safety Walking is
pleasant these frosty mornings. Some one-man car
may be involved in serious accident tomorrow
II the Washington Railway and Electric Co. plays
in good luck this may be delayed for a month or
more But 1t insurance companies, after a careful
study, refuse to take the risk bad smash eventu-
ally ascertain The laws OF chance are as infalli-
bic as the laws OF gravity. They can be calculated
almost as accurately People who ride in these
chicken coops take their lives in their hands
Day after day the against the one-man

daily are producing and more conclusive

street and some. misguided folks continue to ride

Star-Spangled Banner Comes First.

WYE ARE not inclined to underestimate the
w Importance of friendship between Great
Britain and the United States. The people of the
great empire. perhaps approach more nearly Amer
ican ideals than those OF any other country outside
the shadow of the Stars and Stripes The British
have shown themselves at times, not entirely hos
tile to American conceptions of charity unse6sh-
ness. helpfulness and brotherly love. Some of the
Domnions-such as Canada. Australia and South
Africa-rapidly are becoming intellectual and spirit
ual colonies of the United States We have noted
with approval the gradual elimination of causes
which might have resulted in dscord between
London and Washington-such as the Sim Fein
question and the Anglo Japanese treaty
But we are opposed unalterably to that group
OF American citizens who would place Anglo
American union above American patriotism. We
never can approve of efforts to make this country
in any sense colony of Great Britain We be-
hele that the tate which controls the destinies of
peoples has exactly the opposite idea in mind
Politically, intellectually and spiritually the
American people far in advance of the
people OF the British Isles as they in their burn,
are ahead of some OF the less developed races of
Europe. Americas conquest of Great Britain will
not be by the sword-it will be by the elimination
OF the sword. 1t will be by advanced thought ex-
pressed IN common language. 1t will come about
at lrst by the demand of the British colonies
then by the demand of the Europeans themselves
The dominant race of the Notwithstanding
world-and it is Anglo-Saxon only to very lin.
tied eXtent-will remain the dominant race OF the
earth But that now is in process of de-
velopment in the United States and in the Do
minions. 1t is dormant in Great Britain Britain
is the Greece Of modern times America is the
Rome
We led into this train of thought bv read
ing OF group OF Washington people who observed
the anniversary OF the battle of Yorktown at Wilson
Normal School the other night. The account
states that they c,osed the exercises by singing
two national hymns-"God Save the King" first,
and The Star-Spangled Banner second This or
der may have been due to thoughtlcssness or to ac
c1dent. If it the result OF deliberate intent
these folks should be taught a lesson about the
greatness and goodness and glory of the United
States of America.
We wish 70 be hospitable to the British fac
We welcome it anywhere inside the limits of the
United States But it must fly under, not over
the Stars and Stripes. We are willing that God
Save the King should be sung-althoueh if ex
presses sentiments repugnant to the majority of tn.
people of this country and is directly opposed n
the new world order. But it must not be given
precedence over THE Star-Spangled Banner"

Bonus and Married Women.

To the Editor. TIE washiLrton Herald:
Permit me to say a word about the
married women In government serv-
ice. why complain about the mar
ried women and not about the father
and four sons. Even II only one
son were in the government service.
and Il were found he had a father.
why not say he has other means Of
support7 The answer is he needs
to and he ought to earn something
himself. Just so the married wom-
an. They ought not to have to. but
often they DO need to. A large share
of the government employees do not
earn enough TO support families:
and while no man has right to
ask his wife 70 work. yet IL she
desires to she has a perfect right:
and IL 10 unjust to ask her removal
from a departmental or teaching
position. or from private employ
ment, on the ground Of her mar
risge
II a man working has the right to
be married and not lose his job.
just so a woman working has the
same right.
Those who are out OF employment
have a right TO feel aggrieved. They
are Just as much entitled TO chance
to work as they are bound to work
when they cen. The government
ought to help them. but not by dis
charging married women who may
need the Job Just as much. when

started during the war. that was r
grand step of progress Yet il was
afterward cut off-some say this
was so we might have a reserve

II is outrageous TO keep up a re-
serve army of the unemployed.
Every one who has a right to live
has a right to a chance TO earn a
