A BOOMERANG SPEECH

Governor Pinchots formula for rrohi-
bition enforcement seems TO have en-
countered the resistance OF only one
speaker at the citizenship conference pre-
ceding the conference OF governors. But
this solitary opponent certainly gave
PennSvlvanians. and all other americans
as well, something to think about When
Henry J. Allen. former governor OF
Kansas. had paid his respects to the idea
that the President OF the United States
should personally direct the work OF en-
.forcement, Governor Pinchot had little
reason to boast OF his own executive
ability.
What l Would Do II We're Presi-
dent would have been an appropriate
title for Governor Pinchots speech
what l Would Do Ii I Were Gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania" would have been
an appropriate title for Mir. Aliens
speech.
Governor Pinchot said in substance
that only the President could enforce the
Nolstead act. and that he should do it.
Mr.. Allen said in substance that 1900
bootleggers OF Philadelphia had sent
word to Governor Pinchot that they did
not purpose 10 obey the law, and that
Governor PinchOt had done nothing
about it-cXcept to try to shit the re-
sponsibility to the nations chief execu-
tive.
The former governor OF Kansas would
not have passed the buck he declared.
IT | were the governor of Pennsyl-
varlia," he said "and 1900 bootleggers
had sent ne word that they did not in
tend to obey the law of PENNSYLVANIA.
the next morning Philadelphia would be |
awakened by the reveillc OF 4 soldiers
Dugle. and that night she'd go to bed at
soldiers taps, and every saloon would
wear paddock"
That was merely rhetorical way OF
saying that the Governor had shown that |
he was not capable OF discharging the !
duties OF chief executive OF a state zen !
would he be capable of discharping even !
the ordinary duties Of President of the |
United States. without the addition of
the duties which he would saddle upon
the nations chief executive as a means
OF enforcing the prohibition law?
In this light, Governor Pinchot's |
speech was 4 confession Of his own Of !
iicial impotence. He is the first gov
ernor IN the country to complain that
ne IS not big enough for his Job. and
mat the President ought to relieve him
OF IT. He is the first 10 charge that
conditions in his own state are due to

remissness on the part of the nation
chief executive.
What does President Coolidge think
of Governor Pinchot's proposition? The
White House is silent. except to let it
be known that the President does not
regard Governor Pinchot's speech as one
meriting a reply.
The President will address the confer
ence of governors in due time. Just
what ne will say then. he is not saying
now; but inasmuch as the conference
was called for the purpose OF imprcssing
upon the governors the desirability, from
the Presidents viewpoint. of greater eff
forts on their part for the enforcement
OF the Nolstead act. it seems safe to an
ticipate that Mr.. Coolidge will not recon-
mend that the responsibility be shifted
entirely to his own shoulders.

BODIES IN MOTION.

Judging by the photographs taken
during the season we gather that the
young people on the bathing beaches
wore this summer just about what
they wanted TO. and not millimeter
more. Many adults in private life
take over the job of regulating the
apparel of men and women under %

by police officers. of motherly in

but it seems the comments of volun-
teer censors have about the same de-
terring effect as Drive Carefully"

proposition that the Belgian plan he C0u-

AN ALLEGED DIPLOMA MILL"

Several possibilities, all OF them unto
ward. are suggested by report from
Kansas City concerning an alleged "medi
cal diploma MILL operated there. A par
OF the report is that honorary diplomas
were issued for monetary considera
ton. But perhaps most surpriSing-and
the entire story is surprising-is the as
sertion that purchasers of such diplomas
were subsequently granted licenses to
practice medicine in Connecticut.
To begin with, the layman might have
supposed that the country had Iong ago
been rid OF such institutions. BY do
ing little comparative thinking. how
ever. he should have been able to real
ize that it is no more reprehensible TO
issue diplomas to one kind OF incompe-
tent doctor than to another. II any
distinction is to be made. however. he
might we'll conclude that OF the two
menaceS. bona fide graduate OF a
school OF ignorance and a r:ake-believe
graduate OF nondescript institution.
the former should be held in the greater
fear. There is nothing more dangerous
than sincere ignorance. whereas the in
poster, the man who is conscious Of lis
humbuggery, is more likely to be found
out.
Let it be assumed that the Kansas
City ,kool is actually equipped to'teach
medicine and surgery-tllat student who
puts in several years OF study there can
thereby become 4 competent doctor or
surgeon. Even so. the selling of "hon-
orary" diplomas would mark that in
stitution. and its bona fide graduates as
well. ii it had any. as undeserving OF
the public's confidence Bona fidc mcdi-
cal colleges are not conducted on any
such basis.
Ii the allegations concerning the is
suance OF licenses in Connecticut be true.
then the medical standards OF that state
would seem to be subject to suspicion.
and ought tot be looked into. The head
OF the Kansas City school. after his
arrest. was quoted as explaining that his
institution sold honorary diplomas to
would-be practitioners whose original
obtained elsewhere, were de-
MED recognition by the Connecticut au-
thorties. The inference is that those att
thorities did accord recognition to dip
Tomas issued by the Kansas City insti-
tuition. Ii this inference is not amiss.
it affords further reason for rigorous
investigation OF the entire matter.
There is no source OF learning that
should be more jealously guarded against
fraud than that ron which the public |
has to depend for health, and for the
happiness that only health can make
possible. II the government does not
protect the people against fraud on the
part OF men who undertake to minister |,
to the sick, then it cannot reasonably |
be relied upon to protect them against
anything.
