By FREDERICK !. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29.-The
president of the United States, togeth-
er with his cabinet, and many members
of both houses OF congress and other
government officials are giving good
deal of thought to the moral by-pro-
ducts of the prohibition amendment to
the constitution. Mr.. Harding announ-
ced recently that practically the whole
of that days cabinet session was de-
voted to a discussion of the public at
titude toward prohibition. This has
been true of other cabinet days and in
addition many lawmakers and admin
istrators of the law at Washington are
spending much time in earnest discus
sions of the effect of the eighteenth
amendment
The problem which is worrying the
president and other officials is: Are
the American people in danger of los
ing their innate respect for law
! through the spectacle of wholesale and
continuous violation of the Volstead
act?-Will the effect of violation of
this law bring other laws into dis
repute?
Prohibition has been a vehicle for
the whole gamut of jokes which can be
attached to such laws and fundament-
ally to the idea of intos. eating liquor.
This has aided measurably in building
up in the minds of many Americans
the opinion that prohibition itself is a
humorous matter. What worries the
officials here is that it is possible for
the people to persist in the joke view
of any law, no ma$er what its subject
They are worried because theirs is the
task, first, of making the laws and
second, of enforcing them, and if a sit
uation develops where public cooper
alton is lacking the business of gov
eminent will become extremely diff
cult.
While prohibition is the most per
picking problem Immediately before
the administration, the moral attitude
which the president has defined has
extended already to other statutes
Members of the house committee OF
the judiciary recently had a discussion
of the astonishing relaxation in thu
public mind on the subject of perjury
In the British law, where most of ou
laws find their springs, perjury wa
considered very serious crime. Il

His first play, "Thy Brothers

much in different vein.

After Dinner Stories

Elsie's father wishing to delight
his daughters heart, brought home a
kitten for her one day. However, the
kitten soon proved to be unfortunate
ly afflicted. Every day it had a fit
and after a week or so it died.
Elsie's father straightaway bought
another kitten, and brought it home.
This kitten, however. was even more
luckless. Each day it had two fits.
and finally it, also died.
Still Elsie's father was not to be
discouraged. He brought home {
third kitten. This poor creature soon
fell victim to the prevailing malady.
1t had three fits every day However
it did not die. On the contrary, it
lived to a ripe old age.
Elsie's father described this strange
case to a noted physician, and asked
him for an explanation.
That" said the doctor, "must be
case of the survival of the fttest.

was expended on the Richmond city
parks than ever was expended in any

new arch and bordering the ravine
in the front of the park, building a
greenhouse, cleaning the lake, build
ing new fences, procuring new
benches for all the parks. and trans

"Migration Threatens Prosperous Nations'

Speaking on Emigration as a World Prob
lem" Professor Edward A. Ross of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin said in recent address:
Cheap travel and full steerages make mock
of the ideal of nationality. Any prosperous
country which leaves its doors ajar will present
y find itself not the home of nation, but a
polyglot boarding house. The thriving areas of
the world will come to be populated by con-
fused parti-coored mass of divers languages and
religions and of the most discordant moral and
economic standards. Coolies at the breech-
clout stage of attire, such as you find in the
back districts of the Far East, will iostle the
descendants Of the Puritans.
For a people which has arrived at an adap-
tive birth rate to admit the surplus population
begotten by other peoples which multiply with
out taking thought for the morrow is virtually
to cut its own throat. It is a painless death, to
be sure, which extends over century or two
and proceeds without clash or scandal but no
