The Wet Issue Shapine.

Inexorably the real issue in the wet
and dry situation is taking form. 1t is
not so much whether there is to be
modification of the Volstead act, with
the recognition of wines and beer. The
real issue is whether there is to be en-
forcement Of existing law or potential
notification by the states. New York's
action in repeating the enforcement
act has flung the challenge to the
country.
In the Illinois legislature yesterday
the gauntlet was promptly picked up
by the supporters Of law and order.
BY a vote of 32 to is the senate de-
feated the bill to repeal the state
search and seizure act. The house had
previously, by a vote Of IS to 20,
passed a similar bill to second read
ing, without necessarily insuring final
adoption. The close vote was followed
by scenes of tumult. In Wisconsin a
few days ago furry arose over the
pending repeal bill. which was prompt
ly suppressed by Senator La Toilette,
WIN, dSlule pOlltlcldH tIldI he Is, real
lied that his party could not afford to
affiliate with the vets from the angle
of non-enforcement of law. although
Wisconsin is regarded as wet state.
In point of fact. the vets have got
ten off on the wrong foot in their
march toward modification when they
approach it from the direction of non
enforcement. Their opponents are
given tremendous advantage, and
they themselves take on a handicap.
The majority sentiment of the coun-
try will not indorse the states DELHI
erately ignoring federal statute
Whether the NoIstead act does or
does not provide a reasonable declara-
ton of what is an intoxicant may be a
fair subject Of discussion. but the
answer is not to be reached through
ignoring the law, but by enforcing it
until it is amended, if the majority
desire it amended.

Mrs. Jones on Main street. Susie has
been living at home. The. young cou!'
pie have been planning for months to
set up home of their own. And they
go to 1t! Multiply that situation by
many thousands. II is estimated that
new-married persons call for the build
ing of 100000 houses year.
A young married couple has been
living in lodgings or doing light house
keeping in two rooms. The family be-
gins to grow. Advertisements in the
papers tell of little houses out where
grow and that can be bought on easy
terms" And there is another home, or
at least another household is set up.
Multiply that situation by thousands
every year.
A couple lives in rented house.
Generally they pay. even in normal
times, interest on the cost price plus
taxes and insurance and something
for depreciation. They want to build
or to buy a ready-built house. That
situation cannot be multiplied by as
large figure as formerly because
there are fewer rented houses. Many
owners who used to let houses have
been selling while the selling is good.
There are people in flats who grow
weary of that style of living and go in
for home of their own. There is also
a "backwash." as It were. A good
many people tire of keeping house
and want to get into small apart
ments." And that is the kind of an
apartment they generally get into.

The New Engineer Commissioner.

Assignment of Maj. J. Franklin Bell
to be Engineer Commissioned of the
District fills the vacancy left by the
Army to enter private service. While
Maj. Bell has had two tours of duty
in Washington. he has never served
with the District government. and so
will come to his new duties without
amy specific knowledge Of this detail.
: The post of Engineer Commissioner
has difficulties that are not fully ap-
preciated by those who are for the
first time detailed to the District mu-
nicipal service. This officer must be
two civilians. He must come in daily
contact with the citizens who seek i'm
provements and the correction of un-
satisfactory conditions. He serves on
the Public Utilities Commission by
virtue of his office. and usually as it's
chairman. In that capacity he deals
directly with one of the most impor-
tant features of the municipal serv-
. ice, that of transportation. In this
particular matter the Engineer Com
missioner. in such a capacity, has a
most difficult problem to handle be-
cause of the present financial condi-
tions affecting the traction companies.
Taken, altogether. the role of En-
gineer Commissioner of the District is
. one that requires an exceptional ca
pacity. The officer thus detailed must
he tactful as well as efficient, con-
: siderate of the point Of view of the
civilian as well as capable of handling
technical details. Maj. Bells expert
ences have been varied. his details
have covered wide range, and it is to
= be hoped that he will bring to this new
detail the qualifications that will en-
able him to render full service as Dis,
trfct Commissioner to the entire salts
faction Of the community.

Bulgaria.

Apparently the Bulgarian crisis has
not passed with the overthrow of the
Stamboulisky government. and it may
not pass even with the death of the
former premier, who is now fugitive
and whose capture and execution may
occur at any hour. Indeed. it is pos
, sible that Stamboulisky's death may
precipitate counter revolution by the
peasants, who are strongly armed and
stoutly partisan of the ousted leader,
One factor. however, makes for
peace. according to the dispatches now
who are almost 10 d man adherents
of the ex-premier are just now too
busy gathering their crops to engage
in the campaign. But there is no
guessing the temperament Of these
people. They are highly infiamma bic,
and in this present case they are
acutely jealous of the new govern
ment that has just succeeded to that
of their idol Stamboulsky. They may
catch fire regardless Of crops, with
the result of civil war, the end OF
which cannot be seen.
1t now appears that the revolt was
precipitated by .Stamboulisky' de-
.pland upon King Boris to make him
dictator, which would reduce the mon
arch TO a puppet role. Boris tenn
poi'ized and doubtless was instrument
tai in bringing about the reaction
headed by Zankoff.
Some doubt has been thrown upon
the influence in this revolt of Rado-
slavoff,. the former premier. now an
exile in Berlin, 1t was believed at first
. that through friends in Bulgaria he
had engineered the overturn of STAN.
boulisky. and that he would return
with pardon and perhaps rise again to
power, But a late dispatch from Ber-
lin represents Radoslavoff as express
. ing doubts of his pardon, though he is
satisfied with the course of events in
Bulgaria and predicts the cure of her
Ills under the new regime.
A second Bulgarian revolution. with
the peasantry enlisted. would bring
about a most dangerous condition of
affairs in the Balkans. Already there
are signs of international uneasiness,
both in the Balkans and in western
Europe. That region is tinder box
and there is much inflammabie ma
terial TO be isnited by a chance spark
such as that which has just been
struck at Sofia.

Let Supreme Court Keep Powers,
Majority of Editors Demand.

If public opinion is at all repre-
sented by the press of the country,
there is an overwhelmingly strong
sentiment in America against taking
"the final say" as to a law away
from the Supreme Court and turning
it over 10 Congress.
However,. there is a substantial
coterie of editors who believe the
bare majority ruling of the highest
tribunal should be changed so as to
make a two-thirds vote necessary
before declaring any law unconsti-
tutional.
Chief Justice Taft, speaking at
Cincinnati, at the unveiling of the
Chase monument. brought about this
dance of editorial pens. In his ad-
dress he took occasion to dwell upon
the attacks made on the Supreme
Court in Chase's time, and, as the
Logansport Pharos Tribune says,
drew an opportune moral from the
failure" of those onslaughts.
In mentioning Taft's speech the
New York Tribune points out that
the Supreme Court came through
unscathed. Its critics have
never been able to show US how we
could get along without it." Wen
dell Phillips was one of those in past
civil war days who wanted to get
rid of the court, says the Boston
Herald. and "surely this sounds very
much like what we are hearing today"
Saws the Chicago Daily News: "Impa-
tient congressional groups and at times
even congressional majorities have
resented the annulment of invalid
LEGISLATION, born of passion or of
partisan zeal and fanaticism and
Sometimes of worthy impulses. But
exercise its functions" In looking
back on the earlier attack. declares
the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, no
one "can have anything other than
loathing for Thad Stevens and the
majority that responded to his hymn
the Bridgeport Evening Post empha-
sizes. '.the verdict of the American
people after reflective consideration
of these controversies invariably has
been with the court. The position of
the critics, in the present as in the
past, is quite untenable. ~
The demand for curtailment of the
courts powers is called temporary
clamor" by the Terre Haute Star.
THE Supreme Court" 1T continues.
"still stands as the bulwark guarding
the fundamental law of the nation.'

average American would not rather
