IS THE VOLSTEAD LAH DRAGGING
us into MORE FOREIGN TROUBLE

or assuage injured national pride or
lessen instructive resentment.
If anywhere in the existing order
of civilization there is proof of great
wisdom it is in the general accept
ance by governments of tn erule I'M
der which the sea is left free from
the laws of the land. On the sea all
peoples meet and jostle easily with
their various notions of life and NOR
atty, their various needs and their
widely different philosophers without
friction or conflict. Since nations and
races are not of one mind about all
things no other arrangement would
do.
By indirection we have assumed to
change and reform the code which
makes free seas possible. 1t is a
risky experiment. And the worst of
it is that the inevitable has happened
almost ahead of schedule. Without
intending to do so we have entered
into a conflict of pride with the Eng
fish. When they were told that they
could not carry liquor the British
shipowners had nothing to do but set
up q tCcl NscC. LII We, III luII, III
formed that a law of the land would
be evaded in u own waters, could
not decently do otherwise than pre-
pare formally to enforce that law.
1t may be assumed that the wisdom
and forbearance of the two govern
ments will clear u way out of this
most unpleasant situation. Meanwhile
rowever, there will be no way of con-
trolling sentimental and psychological
reactions in Britain and elsewhere.
European jingoes who have been tell
ing irritated and depressed and suf-
fering peoples that the greedy and
arrogant Americans are responsible
for all their woes will have more ex-
cellent ammunition. The British
whose politicians are forever seeking
a way to distract general attention
from their OWL failures and follies-
are being told that the United States
believes that it owns the seas
DIR. John H. Latane, professor of
American history at Johns Hopkins
University and a recognized authority
on international law, put the case con-
cisely when he spoke of the threaten
ed seizure of sealed British liquor as a
lgal but unfriendly act. 1t is the
universal practice, DR.. Latane said,
not to exercise police powers over for
eign ships unless something happens
to disturb the tranquility of the
port" And he spoke what probably
will be the opinion of the great mass
of intelligent Americans when he said
that it is moves such as this at the
expense of foreign countries "that
0 bad feeling, retaliation and
strained international relationships at
a time when the Christian forces of
the country should be unitedly work.

This business OF humping the bumps.
over unlighted and unfamiliar roads
in the wake of Mr.. Volstead and in
pursuit of the Great White Idea has
its thrills. Unquestionably the arrival
of British liners with stores of strong
drink under seals and the resolve of
the Treasury department to break
those seals and confiscate the liquor
will leave US in totally strange
country, in a wilderness OF dark I'M
certainties.
Here is where the light of law and
conventional reasoning fails for even
the most devout of pilgrims. For we
do not live on a relatively small is
land surrounded by trecherous seas.
We do not have to wiring our daily
bread out of the deep waters. Ships
are minor and remote incidents in our
thought and in our lives. They are
MT our sole dependence in peace and
war, the symbols of our pride, the
sources of our strength, the bearers
of all u hopes, the one sure means
of our safety and our survival. We
haven't been reared to look with rev.
erence on sails and steam. So we
are unable to understand the terrible
sensitiveness of the British in every
matter that touches shipping and laws
made for the control of ships.
When, in the name of the dry laws
of the United States, revenue Off
cials go abroad the ~Berengaria or the
Baltic in the port of New York and

Britain they will be acting within the
letter of the dry statutes as they have
been interpreted bw the Supreme
court. But in the eyes of some sea-
faring people they will be commit
ting a dim sort of sacrilege. They
will by implication lessen the VALIDITY
of an unwritten law of the sea in
which some nations still see needed
guarantees of their own security.
By indirect and roundabout meth
DDS a law of the United States will
be extended over areas in which no
government ever before attempted to
assert authority. For, under the dry
rule as it is to be applied in this in
stance, ships sailing from American
ports will have to be dry whether their
owners and passengers wish them to
be Or not. The incident of the Ber-
engaria and the Baltic may not seem
to have the dimensions of an internal
tiopal cause. Neither, as a wise OBJ
server has just remarked, did the Bos-
ton TIE aParty at the moment when
it was organized.
Such danger as attends the situa-
ton into which we have drifted-cer-
tainly it was never clearly forseen-
lies in the fact that an issue of inter-
national Importance will be shifted
automatically from the bounds of rea-
son to the real min which free emo
ton will play wildly around it. Law
alone will not allay fear or suspicion

Old Timer Visits Cody

Mike r. Russell of Deadwood,
South Dakota arrived in Cody on Sun
day for a short visit with old time
friends and a trip through the yell
lowstone Park.
Mr.. Russell is one of the pioneers
of the west, having located in the
Black Hills over 40 years ago, and
has seer the frontier move from the
Dakotas to the west coast.
Mr.. Russell was an intimate friend
of Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill and Major
Powell and has made many trips to
this country in company with Col.
Cody, as a guest of the colonel on
hunting trips and visits at the TIE
ranch and has scores of friends in
the town among the old time residents
He conducted a saloon in Deadwood
for many years, and has gained a re-
putation for honesty and fairness that
is typical of the old timer. A story
is told of him that when two men
attempted to rob his place of business,
Mr.. Russell put up a brave fight
against odds and did succeed in tear
ing the mask from the face of one of
the robbers before being overpower-
ed. The robbers were both captured
and convicted, but not many years
after their Imprisonment, Mr.. Russell
signed a petition for the pardon and
they were released.
Mr.. Russell spent most of his time
in Cody recalling old times with his
friend Mr.. George T. Beck who has
been a companion on many hunting
trims.

THEFT OF PERMITS FOR
$4,000 PINTS REPORTED

Collector Goodcell was notified
from Washington yesterday that
800 liquor orders had been stolen
from the office of an unnamed
Federal Prohibition Director, and if
the thief is enabled to use them
$4,000 pints of bonded liquor could
be secured on them from wholesale
and retail druggists and bonded
warehouses. Warning was at once
sent out by Collector Goodcell to
all authorized dealers in liquor that
these forms had been stolen, and
not to honor them. Anyone caught
with one of the stolen forms in his
possession will be arrested and pro-
secuted.
Collector Goodcell said Yesterday
that persons holding permits autho
rizing the sale or dispensing of in
toxieating liquor are not permitted
to make sale or delivery of intoxi-
eating liquor on a permit to. pur-
chase bearing a serial number from
A-3604Ol to A360500, inclusive or

MISSIONARIES ARE
SAVED FROM DEATH

NASHVILLE, Tenn, September
4.-Several hundred American mis-
sionaries in Japan were attending
an interdenominational conference
at Karuziawa at the time of the
earthquake it was announced here
today by the Southern Presbyterian
board. The meeting place is $50
miles from Toxic. All of the mis-
sionaries in Toxic and Yokohama
were believed at the meeting and
probably escaped the disaster in
those cities. The announcement
made by DR.. j. o. Revis of the
Southern Presbyterian board, was
concurred in by the Baptist and
Methodist boards.

Effect Far Reaching

1t is pointed out that the real
service Of the intermediate cred;tl
banks, like that Of the War Finance
Corporation, can not be measured
merely by the volume of their dis,
counts or advances. Their chief
value is seen in the fact that the
credit made available by them of
ten induces or encourages private
financial institutions to offer cre-
dit accommodation, when otherwise
they might stand aloof. Somes CO.
operative marketing associations in
the last two years have been Of
fered adequate credit from private
sources only after they had obtain
ed pledges of accommodation from
the government agencies.
The intermediate credit banks
seem likely nevertheless to operate
soon on bigger scale than was ex-
pectet. Each of the twelve insti-
tutions was provided with a capital
of $1,000,000 from the treasury i'm
mediately it was organized. Five
of them have since called for addi-
tional capital to a total amount OF
$5,O00,000, so that the present paid
in capital Of the twelve banks is
$17,000,0O0.
For the present, the Federal Farm
Loan Board, which supervises the
banks, is limiting loans and dis
counts to terms of nine months. BOr-
rowers, however, have the practical
assurance that the terms will be
renewed when necessary.

, nit whatever and, in violation of
the National Prohibition Act. Upon
any permit to purchase or prescrip-
tion to procure intoxicating liquor.
bearing one of these serial num-
bers, being presented to permit
tee, he should immediately advise
the Collectors office by wire of
the fact in order that steps may
be taken to apprehend the person
presenting the same.
May Alter Forms
When any Form 1410-A, 1110-D
or 1403, the serial number of which
appears to have been altered. is
presented to permittee they
should carefully scrutinize each per
nit to purchase or prescription to
procure intoxicating liquor present
ed to them with i view to deter
mining its genuineness. Where any
permit to purchase or prescription
to procure intoxicating liquor, the
serial number of which appears to
have been altered, is presented to
a permittee, he should also imme
diately notify the revenue depart
ment.
Collector Goodcell said that the
liquor permits were not stolen from
any Federal office in the Southern
California District, but that the
liquor thieves were apt to attempt
to obtain liquor on them here.

COOPERATIVE BODIES TO
MARKET MORE THAN 1922
DUE TO GREATER CREDIT

Cooperative associations will {
market considerably more farm
products in 1928 than they did last
year, it is indicated in reports to
the Department of Agriculture.
While it is impossible to estimate
how much business they will do,
the fact that new associations are
being formed and old ones enlarged
is ground for the belief that the
amount of the years crops to be
marketed comparatively will exceed
all former figures. A big factor in
promoting marketing is the improve
ment made in credit facilities re-
Gently.
First steps toward better credit
accommodation for cooperatives
were taken in 1921, when Congress
enlarged the powers of the War FL.
nance Corporation. Up to date that
organization has authorized ad-
vances to cooperatives amounting to
more than $190,000,000.
Many cooperative associations
are opening up lines of credit at
the new intermediate credit banks,
because the War Finance Corpora
tion will cease making advances on
February 20 next. 1t is believed
the new institutions will function
much as the War Finance Corpora
ton has done in giving confidence
and ,loosening up additional out
side credit. They have already
authorized advances of about 3d.
100000 to farmers cooperative as
sociations handling cotton. wheat,
wool. tobacco, and canned fruits.

SHOP PISTON PIN
REMOVING FIXTURE

In repair shops which specialize
on few makes of cars it will pay
to make fixture to avoid damag
ing the piston when removing the
piston pin. This can be made from
a block of hard wood bored to fit
snugly over the piston. \ hole, the
size of the piston pin is bored
through the block and so located that
the entire piston will be suppored
in the fixture. For removing the
pin a punch is used, one end of
which is made to fit the inside al
ameter of the piston pin so that the
piston can be properly located ana
the other end is made slightly
smaller than the outside diameter
of the pin so that it will bear
against the end of the pin and act
as a punch or drift. Removal can
then be accomplished either with Il
hammer or in an arbQr press.
