PROGRESS IN PROHIBITION

Review of the record in the work of enforcing prohibition and the Vol stead act as set forth in report made to the president by Attorney General Daugherty, with figures of prosecu- tions and convictions, shows that en- couraging progress has been made, despite efforts of enemies of prohibit ton to make it appear that enforce ment of the law is impossible, and that therefore there should be modification or repeal. The record, however, is dis quieting to citizens who respect the law and believe In its observance by all This is shown by a statement is sued by the department of justice rel ative to the report: "The facts set forth reveal one of the most tragic efforts in American history relative to law enforcement. The report shows, among other things, that the depart ment of justice has been called upon to prosecute a member of the judici- ary, prominent members of the Amer ican bar, high officials of the federal and state governments, millionaires, scions of the nations aristocracy, and the sordid story of assassination, bri. bery and corruption that found it's way into the very sanctums wherein the inviolability of the law was presumed to have been held sacred"
 Thus it seems that the issue is not as to the wisdom or practicability of prohibition, but whether there is to be law and order in this country or de- fiance of law which inevitably leads to mob rule and anarchy. It is far more important that law defiance be punished than that liquor distribution be prevented. The issue in the en- forcement of the eighteenth amend ment is not merely the decrease in liquor sales, but the stopping of null lification by people who apparently use their political, social or financial position to discount prohibition by their defiance of the law.
 If the prohibition laws may be nu.

wHAT MIR. HEFLIN SAID

To The Editor Of The Age -Herald:
 Your Selma correspondent Tn The Age-Herald of Thursday last quotes me as saying that the bankers and big business men throughout the south and west got tips that the panic was impending in advance and cleaned up enor- nous sums in the market" Your correspondent, without intending to do so, I am sure, has failed to quote me accurately regarding those who received tips in advance of the deflation panic in 1920. What I said was that the big financiers of Wall street knew what was going on and just when the panic would be pulled off, and that other big financiers were tipped off In advance of the panic, and acting upon that information they speculated on cotton, grain and Liberty Bonds and made mill lions" I then said that q believed that w. F. G. Harding had given the tip to some of his Alabama banking pets, but that he never gave any notice to the farmers, merchants and country bankers in Alabama or to very many of the city bankers in this state. That they with those like them in other states south and west were struck down and robbed without warm ing" J. THOMAS HEFLIN.

 A FIsHERMAN'S CONTEST

Fishermen the country over will feel more or less of a thrill over a contest to be put on by the Potomac Anglers Association, whose member ship is confined largely to Washing ton sportsmen. Competition among fishermen is lively, whether in the process of the catch, in the telling of the "big one that got off," or other wise. Every true lover of rod and reel wants to know what every other one is doing to maintain the reputa- tion of the brotherhood, whether his word may or may not be trustworthy under rigid test. It is presumed that the Washington anglers participating is this contest will be fully equal to the occasion of touching up their brethren's imaginations by thrilling ac- counts of the affair. No true fisher 1. .man permits such trivial details as io- :alities, seasons, design and contour
 If bait to disturb his equilibrium.
 There are some "whoppers" in the 'otomac few miles south of Wash ington. Bass, trout, croaker, blue |cat, sheepshead and other varieties (which besport themselves in salt, fresh pr brackish waters, according to sea

 ion of many remarkable tales by dra-
 natic enthusiasts Of the four-ounce- fod school. There is something in bending rod and taut line that stirs rivalry in the realm of fancy, and every fisherman regards his prize catch with jealous pride. What mat Ater the facts? Away with tiresone Restrictions of accuracy! "The story's the thing"
 It'>is always easy to start an argu- |ment among Waltons as to weights, measurements and time consumed from strike to net; that's choice number on the program, whether or not scales or tape-lines be available.

lifted by trickery, evasion, bribery
 and crime, other laws could be simi- larly nullified. Nor is there any force to the argument against prohibition on the ground of the cost of enforcing the law. Every dollar spent to en- force the law is wisely invested in en- forcing respect for law. Any dis honesty in the enforcement organiza- tion, connivance with lawbreaking, be- trayal of trust and intentional neglect should be punished more severely than violation by direct enemies of prohi- bition. The report of the attorney general may put law-abiding Ameri- cans on their mettle and strengthen their determination to put to the teJt this issue of supremacy of the law.

THE MUNICIPAL BUDGET

It appears from unconflrmed 1lg- ,,res that Birmingham will have about four millions of dollars on which to operate during the coming year, an increase of perhaps one hundred thou sand dollars over the income of the past year. Reports are that the city commissioners are submitting estl- mates and claims for their several de- partments which in the aggregate would exceed the available revenues by half a million dollars or more. There is already a deficit for the closing year of some seventy-two thousand dollars which must be taken care of. That leaves little margin for increased expenditures next year. With the city's growth come large de- mands for improvements. The park system recently created under leglsla- tive enactment will ask for increased appropriations if there is any way to provide them. There are pressing de- mands for a more efficient garbage system. Additional street lights, the need which has become acute, will re- quire considerable expense. The fire and police departments require more men; and so on through a long list.
 The commission is required by law to prepare budget and live within it. Yet under conditions of expansion in every other field of activity it is not wise to permit municipal interests to fall behind. So much the more respon- sibility on the commission to work out the problem of the greatest good 10 the community within the available Aresources. The task will test the busi- Dness ability and sincerity of purpose, not of any individual commissioner who may be ambitious for the record of his department, but of the govern ing body representing the entire city. \ There have been manifestations of Special efforts by individual commis- toners on behalf of their respective Apartnients, while apparently over Blocking the needs and interests of the -community. This suggests an official Sabsence of perspective. Several de- partments of the city government are so closely related and overlap to such an extent as to make them virtually one-the public health and the street cleaning and garbage departments, for example, which are under supervision of different commissioners. It were well that these matters be carefully \ considered in preparing the budget, and that each commissioner should \el responsibility for the welfare of Ase community rather than for the es- tablishment of a high departmental record~> In no other way can the com mission function wisely and economi- caily flor the general good.

Opening of New Era

The fact that the great indus trialists of Germany have not only acquiesced in, but supported. the governments decision. to end pas sive resistance in the Ruhr means that they will stand by it In any crisis that may develop in conse- quence. They are, after all, the main strength of Germany, and their support of the ministry, which was, 1t Is understood. named by them for the purpose of bring ing about this change of course, indicates the opening of new era in Germany marked by the settlement of that country's for eign relations and solution of It's domestic problems.

signal Allied Victory


 While it Is evident that a satis- factory settlement may be still far off. the significance and impor- tance of the German surrender is not to be minimized. The French and Belgians have gained a signal victory in their determined policy to compel Germany to pay to her limit for the frightful damage she wrought. The allies have gained a tremendous advantage and have Vindicated the severely criticised policy of occupying the Ruhr. They have made it plain to Ger many that nothing can shake their determination to compel full separations. The present German government d industrialists have indicated positively and openly that they realize that France Is not to be trifled with further and Is unyielding. A great step and one in the right direc- tion has been taken by the largest of the worlds debtors.

Rank outsiders the country over will marvel at the mysteries of the waters when they give respectful attention, realizing that judgment must be tempered in contemplating the overweening ambition of one fisher man to excel another when the time arrives for expert description.

An Act of stntesmanshir

NANAASoS CANS oNoA(
 The abandonment by the Ger man government of resistance to French occupation of the Ruhr Is an act of diplomatic statesman ship. Resistance was criminal un- der the circumstances, for 1t could not be effective and 1t served only to prolong a situation that aggra- vated the problem of peace, and that problem is continental, not German or French solely.

The Constructlve Effect

NSl. LOuIS Dt-DemOCratJ
 Abandonment of passive resist ance by no means solves the repa- rations problem. What Germany Is to pay and how she Is to pay still remain to be solved. It does, however, open the door to renewed efforts for settlement in which, 1t may be assumed. the allies now may join. The situation Is thus about where it was a year ago, with this important difference. The Germans now know that repa- rations must be paid, that there is no escape from 1t. That Is a constructive effect of the French occupation that must be con- ceded.

Great courage was needed for that unconditional surrender and great wisdom.

MIR. FORD AND MUSCLE SHOALS

NM6mpillS 0OIluleTCldl4 AppedlJ
 Those who are interested in the completion of Muscle Shoals and want MT. Henry Ford, above all others. to do the job, should not be cast down. In spite of the sale of the Gorgas plant representa- ton may be made to MT. Ford which will continue his interest In the project.
 The Commercial Appeal has never felt that the Muscle Shoals enterprise depended entirely on the steam plant at Gorgas. The same plant could be erected near Muscle Shoals itself and satisfac. tory results secured.
 Henry Ford did splendid serv- Ice to the American people when he stepped in and prevented the scrapping of the Muscle Shoals enterprise. There was fell de- sign to do this. It was part of political program of those inter- ested In bringing discredit on many similar enterprises under taken during the war. There has also been a steady business oppo- sition to Muscle Shoals. This was based upon certain .manufactur- Ing interests feeling that this power project would interfere with their own operations.
 MT. Ford forced the Muscle Shoals project before the eyes of all the American people. Those who were informed saw in his plans something that might in- ure to the common benefit.
 A story sent out from Detroit that MT. Ford Is through Is Tot borne out by information that others who have long been friend ly to Muscle Shoals have.

Frances Determination

W aSfilliS lOll OSlJ
 The unyielding attitude of Pre- mier Poincare has at last con- vinced the German government that an unconditional surrender in the Ruhr is the only method of inducing France to consider the new proposals. Every argument. every stratagem, and every threa t has been used by Germany to con- vince France that the Ruhr must be returned as a precedent to set clement of the reparation ques- ton. The answer has always been, Pay or we stay" Now that plan has been evolved for ad- Justment of the reparation ques- tlon. a plan that affords some hope of Germany's recovery, the more enlightened and unselfish Ger mans are willing to recede on the Ruhr dispute for the sake of sav- ing their country.

Agreement Looked For

 With the struggle in the Ruhr at an end, France and Germany can proceed to the discussion of the reparations question, and there Is every reason to believe that an agreement will be forthcoming. Great Britain, through her pre- mier. has already made indirect confession that she erred in ob- structing the French policy, and she now stands ready to co-opec- ate with France in negotiating the settlement. Italy, always more CT less on the fence, is not reouired to execute any right-about- face. AS for Germany. it Is apparent that Stresemann Is convinced that It IS futile to practice deception. He will lay his cards on the table. and from the data thus provided the amount of separations and manner of payment will be de- cided.
