RIGA, Latvia.
is interesting to talk with men
who are making a nation. Take
this republic of Latvia. I have
i already described it as three
times the size of Massachusetts win
a popuIation of one to two million
people. Formerly a part OF Russia
II is now one of the buffer states be-
tween that great political entity and
the countries of western Europe. anu
it Is likely to have most important
place for a generation or so in the
future. Closely allied to Finland
Esthonia, Lithuania and Poland. 1t Is
a part of this world of the Baltic
republics which has jumped into oes
ing and which is carving out Its
destiny in the development. OF the
new Europe 1t is like talking with
the founders of our country within
wear or so after we declared our in
dependence of England, when wash
ington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Benjamin
FRANKLIN and men of that sort were
trying to build a firm foundation for
our republic.
There are men Of the same sort
here in I.atvia, and I may say they
have about the same job. I give you
today interviews with wo of them.
One is Karlis Ulmanis, who, like
Thomas Jefferson. aided in writing
The constitution of the new nation-
and the other is DR.. q. A. MeieroWcs,
the premier who is practically the
head of the government of this IN :
fant republic. Both men are young.

helmeted guard at the gate, crossed
a court and climbed the stairs. going

TO the uniformed captain who is ad-
iutant to the Latvian premier. He
led me into a room forty feet square,
furnished somewhat like one of the
reception rooms of our State Depart
ment, and heated by porcelain
stove. reaching from the floor to the
ceiling. DR.. Meierovics shook hands
with me as we were introduced. and
we sat side by side on sofa as we
talked. I was surprised at the youth
OF the premier He is, / Judge, of
about the-same age as Thomas Jeffer-
son was when he was Secretary of
state, and like jefferson he was
brought. up on farm. His mother
died a few days after he was born,
and his father when he was only four
years of age. He was educated in the
Riga Polytechnic School and the Uni
versity of Moscow, after which he
had some diplomatic experience under
the ear.

MY first question was that which
INl arises when one thinks of any
of these little republics. 1t was as

i 1t serves all needs. 1t is gay and
costly, demure and reasonably priced.
II has taken a place In semi!formal
evening costumery which should de-
light schoolgirl as 1t gives her
chance to provide gayety between the
waist and head with sobriety between
the waist and heels. This trick Is
what the Americans most dearly de-
sire, in the opinion of the French.
These bright and colorful garments
do for restaurant luncheon, after
Moons or evenings at the theater,
school dances and the holidays. A
plain cloth or velvet skirt serves as a
foundation for several blouses.
The fashion of the season is the
cloth one-piece frock, but it has no
novelty for girl. 1t has been the
corner stone of her wardrobe since
the cradle. Yet in it's present guIse it
has new possibilities. 1t is really a
combination of blouse and skirt
Joined wherever caprice or necessity
lead. Putting two opposing mate
rials together at the lowest turn of
the hips has been the steady prac-
tice of the dressmakers until this sea-
son, but as the slightly short-waisted
effect has been exploited by fappers

reason to believe 1t will go on it's
jaunty path through the winter. One
must be through the winter. One
must be very sure not to ape the en-
pire line too emphatically. Such a

izen and as a Republican once highly
honored by his party, could not re-
fuse it.
Under the leadership of Mr.. Hard
ing the Republicans can go into the
campaign of 1924 with no excuses,
explanations or apologies, but with
pride in the achievements of a Re-
publican Congress and Republican
President. During the first two years
of the Harding Administration the
public debt has been reduced; Federal
taxes have been cut; prosperity has
been restored to American industry;
unemployment has been eliminated;
agriculture has been rescued from
the depths of depression; our inter
national standing has been regained;
the British debt has been funded; a
beginning has been made in the linn
itation of ornaments; menacing dis
putes in the Orient have been set
tied; the tendency toward patenalism
has been checked; the american
First" protective tariff system has
been restored; the Federal Reserve
Board has been strengthened in pub
lie confidence; a hundred thousand
needless government employees have
been taken off the payrolls; the rail-
road system of the country has been
restored to efficiency under private
management; provision has been
made for adequate care of disabled
veterans; the affairs of the govern
ment have been placed on a business
basis under the Budget Bureau; har-
monious cooperation has been estab-
lished between Congress and the EX-
ecutive departments, and the Social
istic element has been disconnected
from its close association with high
offices of government. The record is
one of which not only Republicans
in particular, but Americans in gen.
eral, may well feel proud.
Republicans will record their en-
dorsement in the next National Con-
vention and the voters of the country
will register their approval in the
next general election.

PROHIBITION IN PENNSYLVA-
MA AND NEW YORK

The New York Senate at Albany
by small margin has voted to repeal
the Mullan-Cage act and thereby rem
der the enforcement of prohibition in
the State more difficult even than it
is. The 'wets" have hailed this as a
great victory. But it is more than
offset by the action of the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature, responding to the lea
dership of Governor Pinchot, which
has just passed an act designed to
end the notorious violations of the
prohibition laws of that State.
Of the new act, the Public Ledger
of Philadelphia, has this to say:
Under the act Pennsylvania,
put in line with the nation as a
community obedient to law and
loyal to the Constitution, it is
specifically made the duty of
State and local police authorities
to enforce the prohibitory laws
and to arrest violators. No lon
ger can there be deliberate eva
sion Of this duty on the ground
that the obligation is federal
and not a State duty.
The way to enforce any law is to
enforce it. That truth is evidently
better appreciated at Harrisburg
than at Albany. The action of the
Pennsylvania legislature is welcome
evidence of the growth of the law
abiding spirit wherever the issue is
put clearly and honestly before the
people.
