Prohibition Enforcement.

From Attorney General Daugherty,
the highest law officer of the land,
comes official assurance of steadily
advancing enforcement of the prohi-
bition law, 50 far as the Department
of Justice is concerned. With the
evidence Of violation, manifest from
time to tir.e and the urging of those
for amendment of the law, ii is en-
couraging to hear from this high
official source that the government is
not asleep. The mills of the law
may grind slow, but they grind eX-
ceeding fine. from the report of the
Attorney General.
The Attorney General says that as
result of the concerted forces the
department has been enabled to enlist

respect for the law is increasing. He
praises state and county officials Of
Michigan for their intelligent coop

notes marked increase in state On
recent conference of governors.
Attorney General DaughCrty cites
figures and statistics TO uphold his
assertion that the law is being in
creasingly enforced; tells Of 179 de-
crees for "padIocliing" premises oh
tanned during the first week of No
vember in the northern district Of
Illinois, criminal prosecutions and
convictions being had in connection
with thirty,:nine Of them and OF clos
ing of breweries and premises in New
Jersey. Pennsylvania and MichiSan:
of thirty convictions in New Jersey,
with sentences totaliu@ fifteen years.
The Attorney General does well to
show to u country that may have
been growing discouraged over pros
pect of enforcement, that its fears are
not well grounded.

Persistence Rewarded.

The story of the young woman who

statement for newspaper publication
shows that she had the virtue of per

the justice of the old saw. "If at first
you don't succeed, try, try again.
The signed statement was no more

but it was enough. One moral to be
drawn from the incident is that il is
well to be persistent in a good cause.
There is abundance of persistence
in bad causes and whether persist.
ence pays in that direction is open
to debate. But to be persistent in a
good cause is always good and proper.
This young woman wanted what was
in effect a hand-written and self
signed Thanksgiving proclamation
from the President. The usual
formal Thanksgiving proclamation
had been issued days before and
the job had been done as it has been
done each year for many, many years
and there was really no occasion for
the President to do it again. Yet
there was no harm in it and the
thirty-five-word hand-written and self.
signed proclamation, appearing on
the eve of Thanksgiving, was perhaps
read by twenty times more people

For these men there has been a

political purposes, sought to put them
in the category of martyrs for their
beliefs. The people at large have had
no patience with them. But the war
is over, their mischievous endeavors
have been rendered futile and they
have been punished for their offenses.
The three men who have been com.
missioned by the President to con.
slider the cases are highly qualified
for this task. MIR. Baker was at the
head of the War Department at the
time of the pernicious activities of
the radicals opposed to participation

The Political Prisoners.

President Coolidge, it is now an
1ounced, has referred to a special
commission the question of the So
called political prisoners of the United
States, now confined at LeavenwOrth
and Atlanta for wartime offenses, for
whose release petitions have been
flooding the White House for many
months. This commission consists Of
former War Secretary Newton D.
Baker, Bishop Charles II. Brent of
Buffalo and Maj. Gen. James G. Har-
bord. former deputy chief of staff of
the Army. 1t has been in being for
a fortnight, but its existence has lust
been disclosed through meeting. and
now the purpose of its creation is
formally stated to be to examine the
cases and to report concerning the
propriety of pardons or parole
There are about thirty of these "po-
1itical prisoners" seven involved in

tions offered by President Harding.
two involved in the Wichita I. w. w.
case, who also refused such COM
mutation; nineteen involved in the
Sacramento /. w. A. case, to whom
no communication was offered one in
volved in the same case, who de-
elined communication conditioned upon
deportation, and two now at Atlanta.
Thus it appears that practically all
OF these people are or We're members
of the I. w. w, an organization
frankly opposed to the present form
of government and industrial organi-
cation in the United States, whose
activities have been bent upon its
destruction and replacement with a
communistic system. In the war
period this organization was hostile
to all efforts Of the government to
place an army in the field. 1t resisted
the draft, sought to discourage and
prevent men from accepting service
in the military ranks, endeavored to

Hope for Spinsters
Till 5Oth Milestone

In the annual report OF the Califor-
mia bureau of vital statistics are set
forth figures from which it has been
deduced that "spinsters need not
give up hope of being married until
they have passed fifty"
To some spinsters, doubtless. this
deduction will be encouraging; others
it will entirely fail to interest. Under
the conventions of modern society
any man may ask any woman to
marry him-and almost every man
can find some woman willing to take
a chance. With women it is differ
ent. In theory. at least. they must
wait to be asked, and most of them
do. For that reason 1t is injuTiouSIy
assumed that women who are not
married have not been asked.
The California statistics are shame
fully incomplete. They do not record
the number of spiusters who have de-
clined offers of marriage and there
fore are spinsters from choice. The
percentage of spinSterS who are not
willing to give up the state of single
blessedness for the responsibilities
or the joys, so called, of married life
would be extremely interesting if it
could be arrived at hy intrepid statisti-
