MEANS, EX-DRY
. AGENT, |SHELD
IN $4,000
Arrested on Charges of Plot

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-Gaston B.
Means, former Government agent,
surrendered here yesterday on four
Federal indictments charging him
with conspiracy to violate the Vol
stead act. evasion of income taxes
and using the mails to defraud. He
pleaded not guilty and was released
in $4,000 bail
The indictments, which also
named Elmer w. Jarnecke, Means
secretary, were returned last week.
In a statement issued by Means
counsel, Thomas B. Fielder, charges
were made that thigh officials in
the internal revenue department cut
short his work as an investigator
of the prohibition department"

cations in New York, exposing the

should be revoked when the brew
cries or distilleries are found to be
violators of law Such is already
the provision LAID down in the regu-
lations of the prohibition enforce
ment division.
cit is alleged that cases have hap
pened in Enicn breweries and dis
tilleries have been convicted of law
breaking and have still retained
their permits exactly as before. Alb
solutely no such case has ever come
to my desk. have never received
from Governor Pinchot any state
ment of any such case. If any
brewery or disxillery is found to be
at fault, and if the revoking of its
license becomes legally necessary
or legally possible, the action taken
is action by Haynes. If further,
anybody says that in any such 1c-
ton, Haynes has been in any
way stopped or slowed by me, the
statement is absolutel false and
without the slightest foundation"
Meanwhile, Haynes issues state
ment in which point by point he
meets PinchOt's revOcable-permit
suggestions and claims that virtu-
ally everything that Pinchot wishes
to see done is being done already.
In these circumstances all Wash
ington sits and wonders: Who then
are the criminals after all? And
where is the guilt in ali this dust?
Washington knows, however,
precisely and absolutely just where
the guilt is, although the accusers
are going around and around and
around it without ever mentioning
it.
1t is in the following basic open
fact:
The prohibition majority in Con-
gress refused to put the prohibition
enforcement service into the civil
service and the appointments to
the prohibition enforcement service
are therefore necessarily contro!l-
able in large degree by United
States Senators who can legally in
fluence deeply the appointments
but who bear no legal responsibility
for the results. Hence politics. :
That is all. And the prohibition
Anti-Saloon-L League majority in
Congress can admittedly cure it any
day.

Migration To Cities

1t is evidently true that farmers can i'll afford
to compete for labor on the basis of prevailing
rates IN other industries, and we know of no
answer to the complaint other than that Labor
should 20 to the industries that will take it and
pay the best rates. That is the natural way by
winch the balance between the industries is main
tanned, and there is no other effective way. If
farm production needs to be curtailed, it is better
that some of the farm workers should enter other
industries than that they should be idle on the
land. The idea that something should be done
to stop the movement to the cities certainly is
illogical at a time when employment is to be had
there at high wages and the prices of farm pro.
ducts will not justify employment on the same
terms. Here again the best method is to let nat
ural Tendencies have free play: let those go to the
cities who can shift with least inconvenience or
sacrifice. There is no basis for forebodings of
social decay in the fact that fewer people on the
farms are able with modern implements to provide
food for more people in the other industries. That
in itself is a sign of social advancement. There
was a time when mans labors were almost ex.
clusively devoted to providing the common neces-
saries of life, and it is no cause for regret that
the tendency has been away from this situation.
There is no danger that the cities will learn to
do without the farms, or that there will not always
he labor enough on the farms when the prices of
farm products are high enough to yield compensa-
ton fairly comparable to that obtainable in other
lines of work.
1t is very true that there are some artificial
conditions in the present situation. And among
them may be mentioned the restriction of immi.
grafton which cuts off the supply of labor for the
industries.
Economic forces are far reaching in their influ.
ence. and no matter how they may be hampered by
curbs and regulations they work INCREASINGLY to
distribute the effects throughout the entire indus
trial organization, with the result that they fro
.quently show up where nobody is looking for them.
Another influence in this movement from farm to
city is the arbitrary policy of wagefixing in the
Town industries. The increase of population in
the cities and decrease in the country will not only
increase the cost of living in the cities but increase
the competition for city jobs, and the uncertainty
OF employment, until country life again looks at
%tractiye in comparison.

Not Good ~Sportsmanship

There is a legend, or a rumor, or something of
the kind, that p%ugilism is more or less closely re.
lated to "the manly art of self defense" Perhaps
it is, but doubts that it inspires in those who at
tend what alphabetically are called "boxing
matches" the manly qualities of courtesy and
decent fairness are aroused by the accounts of
the recent encounter between Dundee and Criuui.
The crowd received the former with wild yelps
of affection and approval; the latter heard, in the
beginning at least, only equally wild yelps of
animosity and derision. He seemingly was regard.
ed as an enemy.
Yet if Criqui was offensive, it was for no
known reason except that he was a foreigner, seek
ing glory and incidental money here, which is not
criminal. On the other hand, as the representa-
tive for the moment, of a friendly nation, and as n
man with a war record, which several other pugi-
lists lack, Criqui reasonably might have expected
to get here at least an expression of benevolent
neutrality. Instead, he was hooted as an enemy
who ought to be killed.
AS the fight progressed and it became obvious
that Criqui had no chance of winning, the hearts
of the Fans did soften toward him. That, how
ever, was the cheapest sort of magnamity.
But probably the degenerate Romans who had
their fighting done for them by hired or enslaved
gladiators, acted in the same way as did those
whom Criqui, after n fashion, was the guest. His
hosts did not want the better man to win, but their
man, and it was not until they saw he would that
they cheered his antagonist.

Cross Them Cautiously

OF all the disasters that come upon the auto
mobilist, the ones which at the same time are
most likely to be fatal-usually to several persons
+and most distinctly are in the "avoidable' cate
CORY are those that occur at railway grade cross
tngs. Upon one day recently, twcnty-four acct
dents, mostly of the grade crossing character,
occurred. There is no need for anybody ever to
he killed Mt such a place, no excuse for it, and no
explanation except an obstinate refusal TO take
st railway crossings the precautions known to
everybody.
Those who "stop, look and listen" before they
attempt to- cross railway tracks, never will be
rum down, and this is true whether or not the
tracks have guards or warning signals, as of
course they always should.
Among the railways that have been trying to
educate the motoring part of the public to "cross
crossings cautiously" Is the Baltimore & Ohio,
and it reports that its efforts have not been with
out result. June as compared with May, showed
a decrease of 81 per cent on this road, and though
its officials admit a slight increase over June of
traversed by their trains there has been in the
past year an increase of 80 per cent in the number
of registered automobiles, and in none of them
one of less than Is per cent.
Like reports come from other railways that
have participated in the "cross crossings eau
tiouslyn-a few more accidents, absolutely, but II
marked decrease relatively in the number of cars.
the other campaign, that for the elm.
ination of all grade crossings, goes on, but with
lamentable slowness. That process is expensive.
and the railways are poor-a good many of them
desperately poor.
