WHERE ARE THE WANDERING
BOYS?

Where is my wandering bootlcSger
chusetts town have organized for
the purpose, ostensibly. of ascertain
ing. 1t is said in their behalf
something evidently should be said
in their behalf-that they are doing
this because the mothers of bootleg
gers would have their offspring
diverted from their lucrative but not
yet altogether commcndable occupa-
ton.
There are other wandering boys
who ought to be looked after but
whether the Bootlegger Matrons will
have time for this added respon-
sibility wo do not know. If not, an
organization Of willing workers
should be formed at once. The
emergency is great. A young and
promising man who finds employ
ment as dry agent is not safe for
a-moment day or night. Coin of the
realm confronts him at every turn.
He cannot go out in the evening
with his best girl and escape q
bride. Think of the temptation to
which he Is exposed. Think OF the
Heterogeneous he faces If he re-
fuses!
Joking aside, we do not know Of
any individual more in need of being
either matronized or hard-b boiled
than he who has taken oath to en-
force the Volstead law, nor of one
Of whose services there is greater
need

pears that Borah was wasting hts
breath in criticizing the Administra-
tion for not interfering with the
French plan for putting big army
in the Ruhr region. France was
careful not to allow her definite
plans to become known as she did
not want any expression of opinion
in advance. To express an opinion
after the occurrence would only
serve to antagonize France and
strengthen the obstinacy of Germany,
neither of which would be seemly
for this country to do under the cir

NAGGING THE ADMlNISTRA-
TlnM

The New York Times has this
comment on the situation between
the Senate and the executive depart
ment of government:
"Evidence has accumulated within
the past week or two that Republic
can faction in the Senate has de-
lberately set out to worry anC dis
credit the Administration. The
strategy made use of Is multiform.
Now it is an inSinuating and eX-
asperating speech. Presently it is a
resolution of inquiry. Later it is the
whispering of rumors in the cloak
room, speedily finding their way to
the press. as they were intended to,
and seeking to give the impression
of dissensions in the Cabinet"
The Times does not see eye to eye
with the Harding administration. be-
ing Democratic in its partisan pref
ercnces and having vision cor
respondinGly sharpened to any de-
fects in the Republican machine. Re-
ferring to the publication in Re-
publican newspapers of reports OF
dissatisfaction with the Administra-
tons foreign policy it says: 1.-The
naggers have achieved at least this"
1t may be that the Times is sorry
and again it may be that it is not.
but it's comment appears to be just.
There is no question about a dis
position to nag the President being
in quarters where one
should not expect it. 1t comes from
those who are willing to be elected
on the Republican ticket, and who
haven't the decency to speak well of
the bridge that carried them over
safely. This is disgusting to some
onlookers and we think will be to
more. as the discrcditable purpose
underlying the naggins is exposed TO
the light

Illegal to Chain
Dog in LCndCn

Chicago, Jan. 26-(Mail)-The
local division Of The National Canine
defense League is rejoicing in the
decision OF "a police court magistrate
IN London that it is illegal to chain
dog for an excessive length of
time. The league brought Il charge
against the owner of a dog of chain
ing only. No attempt was made to
prove that he illtreated the animal
IN any other way. In the opinion of
the London court. it is just as much
cruelty to keep dog on q chain for
an excessive length of time as to
beat it or work it numerically.

A new product. made by colloidal

OF the article and the plastic wood
is filled into the mold and allowed to

This takes but few hours, and
the product obtained is said to be
extremely hard and possessed of all
the characteristics of wood except
that it will not absorb moisture as
