NEWRERRY,D

Politically, Senator Porter j. Nc
Cumber has gone to his reward.
For "a years he represented North
Dakota in the United States Senate.
His name is now neatly inscribed on
a nice, large tombstone in the New
berry ground, and after next fall,
Washington will see him no more.
Senator McCumber served the
standpatters well and was defeated
for his pains. He staunchly support
ed Truman III. Newberry of Michigan
and voted with Harry New and 9TH
ers of the Old Guard to seat the
100000 Michigander in the Senate
and now North Dakota has shown
the senatorswhat the people think of
his action.
Senator McGumber is the author
of that amazing monstrosity which
Senator Lodge calls "the Republi-
can tariff" tariff to make the high
cost of living higher.
He had hoped this might be a
monument to him. 1t turned out to

mental law of this land that neither
government nor individual shall
profit from an outlaw industry.
AS for lack of high court deci-
sion, that excuse is nonsense, and de-
serves worse name. United States
district courts have ruled that the
law applies to United States ships.
The Department of Justice under a
former chief ruled likewise, and Mr..
Lasker has sought no opinion from
the present Attorney-General to the
contrary. He doubtless fears that
MIR. Daugherty could only repeat the
former opinion. 1t has been the
acknowledged law of the nations
since earliest times that ship on
the high seas is territory of the ma
tion in which it is owned.
The United States has held itself
out as nation intent on abolishing
the evils which flow with liquor.
There are few, very few, public Of
ficials who still express openly their
opinion that the enactment of pro-
hibitiOn was n mistake and that the
country should return to license.
These few have the right to their
opinion and the right to express it.
But Mr.. Lasker's offense is differ
ent: He is the only official high in
public life who has dared openly to
announce that he will not enforce
the Constitution and the law of the
land-Henry Ford's Dearborn Inde-
pendent.

IT Is SOME GAME

With the passing of the GAINESVILLE
Dispatch after an existence of a lit
tie more than year, another group
of men who thought the newspaper
game was an easy and profitable
one, now have different story to
tell. With the circumstances sur
rounding the late Dispatch, one
would naturally have thought that it
would be a so, but such was not the
case. The fate of this paper. is the
same that has come to thousands OF
other newspaper ventures within the
past year or so.
In this connection we digress a bit
to remark that the newspaper game
while an interesting one, is hard,
strenuous one, and there is no busi-
ness that requires so much time and
attention, and business sagacity, to
make it a success. We believe that
we are absolutely safe in saying that
there is no business (perhaps we
should say the editor) that is sub
iected to knocks and criticisms that
this is. Many criticisms we will ad-
nit are justified, but many we are
sure are not 1t seems to he human
nature to want only nice things pub
lished about US and ours ana on
the other hand our dozen or more
wears experience in the newspaper
game would make it seem that the
majority would wish the opposite
said about the most Of the other pco-
ple. There are those who would
call an editor on a legal holiday or
out of bed at ml6nigh. 70 eive him
an ear full of scandal, or tell him
a report they heard about some
body's shortcomings and insist that
the editor publish it in bold black
and white, while the informants
would not for two worlds sign their
own names to such an article.
They want the editor to be the
hypOcrites when they die want the
editor to write an obituary, oh so
sweet and nice-probably going on
the theory that it will serve as an
entrance credential to be presented
to ST. Peter at the gate.
We have sometimes thought that
the editor who can run a good paper
both ends meet, and get
along smoothly with all mankind
and womankind ditto, is fit for any
job, no matter how big-we would
say President of the U. S., but if
we did 90 that far someone would be
sure to "call" us and point as proof
the failure of Editor Harding.

so that the original Smith one per-
cent law was hardly recognized.
and tangible property owners taxes
began to mount, and have been
mounting ever since. There was no

blame was with those who broke it,

broken. 1t would have been inter-

Doesn't Mr.. Beetham. as well as
others of his kind, realize that the
farmers are so burdened with taxes
that they can hardly make both
ends meet and are leaving the
farms, moving to cities and towns
and putting their few dollars of
savings of life time out of the
reach of tax getters and reckless

WE'LL. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?

The American flag still flies over
booze, thanks to A. D. Lasker.
Mr.. Lasker is an advertising agent
who took the solemn oath to support
the Constitution and laws of the
United States and administer the Of
fee of Chairman of the Shipping
Board.
Now he is engaged in the business
of advertising in every port to which
he can send an American passenger
ship, that the United States permits
it's officials openly to flaunt its laws.
Liquor, all kinds of liquor, has
been sold for months on the Ship
ping Board liners. Mr.. Lasker by
devious methods sought to prevent
the subject from being discussed
publicly. He failed His defense,
when the charge of impeachable vio-
Iation of his oath of office was made,
was the weakest imaginable. He fell
back on the plea that the liners
could not sustain foreign competi-
tfon unless liquor was sold, and in
addition the Supreme Court had not
finally ruled that the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution was
applicable to ships on the high seas.
Few minds would have dared TO
formulate such excuses. The COM
mercial side of prohibition with the
question of it's financial necessity to
government and private individual
was argued for long years while this
country was considering prohibition
as a policy The overwhelming SEN
timent which compelled the enact
ment of the prohibition amendment
to the Constitution and the laws for
its enforcement have settled that
argument, and made it the funda-
