Giana Good, But Light.
Giana, who is being replaced by
Walker, is a mighty good man If
tackling was to be considered, but he
is weak on the offense and is too light
to take out interference. He is the

is expected that Walker will be shift

SEIZURE OF FOREIGN SHIPS

In pressing for the right to seize sealed stores of prohibited liquors on foreign yes sels in our ports our officials should remem- her that our own ships in foreign ports would be forced to accept similar prin ciple with reference to any of their own -cargoes. We have always indorsed the principle that our flag follows our ships, and that United States ship is United States territory. That principle is interra tionally accepted. It is doubtful whether we can sacrifice the principle to prohibition expediency It is probable that the prohihi- ton amendment can be enforced without disturbing international understandings. Great Britain, for example, has formally recognized the prohibition statute and has ordered it's offices of registry to cooperate with the United States in preventing fraudu lent practices for the sake of importing liouor to this country. Vessels touching our ports or driven to our ports in refuge from storms will frequently carry prohibit ed stores, but if the cargoes are destined for foreign ports and are not unloaded here, it is difficult to see how we can logically seek to extend our statutes to point where the foreign commerce of other nations is interrupted. Zeal in performance of duty is commendabe but the whole affair would have a better savor if our principal attack . were directed against the known smuggle.s of prohibited goods rather than against reg ular ships of the line. If any ship is detected in evasion or transgression of our statutes then we will be at liberty to act.

UNITED STATES MUST ACT

Events in Paris foreshadow the early par ticipation of the United States in European affairs. The reparations deadlock, which appears unbreakabe as long as Great Brit ain and France cannot agree, will compel the American government to take some step that will lead the nations of Europe out of their economic morass. Every day that passes but emphasizes the fact that national isolation is impossible. The evils of Europe afflict America and if there were no other consideration self-interest makes it impera- tive that the United States cooperate in the restoration of Europe. When this country's imports exceeded it's exports it could stand alone and isolation did not impose economic penalties on American business and the American people. That situation was changed when America became an exporting nation. We now produce far more than we consume. It is of vital importance to the nations welfare to find markets for our surplus products, and those markets lie m Europe. Prosperity, a continuation of the nations expanding industries and employ ment for its workers at good wages depend on foreign trade.
 There is no mere sentiment in Senator Borah's change of attitude regarding ouc foreign relations, nor in the viewpoint of other statesmen and national leaders who have come to realize that America and Flu rope must work together to put the world back on normal basis The collapse of Europe would involve the United States We cannot separate our own future from that of Europe. That is unanswerable logic, the truth of which is proved hy the present situation in the United States, the direct result of Europe's demoralization. To greater or less degree the prosperity ef every producer in the country depends on foreign markets. The farmer and the man ufacturer suffer because Europe cannot bus their surplus. The momentous decision to take up the task which confronts America abroad cannot be postponed much longer.

-------------set RAILROADS ARE BUSY

Statements from the heads of various railroads leading into Birmingham indicate that the sections tonnage is the heaviest ever carried. It is no wonder that there are complaints of shortage in equipment of all kinds. The railroads stress the need for more capital and undoubtedly the showing of a substantial and permanent need will result in their obtaining more capital. It is gratifyinglto note that the competition of waterwayshas served to develop additional tonnage rather than to take it away from the railroads, for the nation cannot dc with out the railroads, and the railroads cannot thrive without business. The benefit of the waterways is shown by their influence in causing rail rate reductions. With volume constantly increasing, the net income of the railroads has grown in spite of the rate re- ductions. Indeed, it is doubtful if the ton- mage increase would have occurred without the rate reductions to stimulate patronage.
 The railroads still ask the support of the public in their efforts to relieve the car shortage by more efficient management. The shippers and consignees may help great ly by loading and unloading promptly and by loading to capacity. The less time a car spends on the sidings, the more miles t travels, and the more miles it travels the greater the measure of relief it affords. That this attention to efficient administra- ton of equipment has borne fruit IS attested by many official statements. That there $ nevertheless. urgent need for additional equipment is equally well established. The whole situation is one to cause general sat- isfaetion, and there is hope that the years to come will be the busiest the railroads have ever enjoyed, for their activity is but the reflex of the productivity of all kinds throughout the nation and the world

AN ECONOMY. PROGRAM

Judge Brandon's express intention of so conducting his office as to keep the expen- ditures of the state within it's income is commendable. The more business there is in government and the more economy with. out any sacrifice of public benefit, the bet ter for all concerned. It is Judge Bran- don's belief that there is further economy to be effected in the more efficient admin istration of the state routine. Mrch has been done during Governor Kilbys term to re6 6uce overhead and the way is open to further achievement along this line. The anticipated recommendation to the legisla- ture to appoint joint committee to inves- tigate departments with view to discover ing unnecessary and duplicated expenses is expected to reveal the true condition, pro- vided the members of such committee are carefully chosen for their business ability and discernment. The greater the redl.,- tion in publicly unprofitable expenses, the more money left for constructive state enterprises.

THE POSTAL DEFICIT

Among the annual supply measures passed by the House was the postoffice appropria- ton bill carrying $5S4,614000. Large de- fciency bills regularly submitted for con tiuuing the work of the established govern- ment departments are a reflection on the way in which they are conducted. It has been frequently said that no private corpo- ration could survive if it were managed in the haphazard fashion of the American gov. ernment. Millions of dollars are wasted every year that could be saved by applying the same methods to the governments busi- ness that are applied to large department stores, hotels. steel companies and othe, concerns which are successful because they are controlled by experts. When govern ment department is on the wrong side of the ledger, Congress obligingly makes up the deficiency. That sort of thing is impossible in private business an. it is not the righ. course for the government to follow. Tho postoffice department ought to be self-sup porting. Practically every one of the na tion's 10,Q00,00o people is a patron. Whcr the department runs many millions of dollars behind each year, and year after year, the obvious conclusion is that change in policy is needed.

NO MORE FREE SEED

There may be many people disappointed over the refusal of Congress to make apprc. priation for the free distribution of seed by congressman. It is probable, however that those who derive no benefit whatever from such seed outnumber those who do. The free-seed distribution is desired by congress men as means of furthering their political favor among their constituents There can be no other substantial reason for their ex. pressions of regret over withdrawal of the opportunity The department of agriculture is the proper authority in which to invest the responsibility for seed distribution. Gardeners and farmers who desire new or pure types of seed may apply directly to the Bureau of Plant Industry at Washington and be sure of receiving such advi.e and material response as their cases justify

SAFEGUARDING PUBLIC MONEY

In seeking to have municipal purchases made only on acquisitions from the purchas- ing department the president of the city commission is in line with good business judgment and experience. All well-conduct- ed corporations have their purchasing de- partments and nothing is purchased, be it large or small item, without this depart ment's approval. The city purchasing de- partment, through it's daily contact with sellers of all sorts Of articles and it's famil- iarty with average prices that should De charged, is in much better position to make purchases for the city than heads of other departments It is the business of this de- partment to do the purchasing for the city and to do it to best advantage. Experience has shown that the highest cost of govern ment is the result, not so much of deliberate graft and spoilation, as of easy-going meth ods that private enterprise would not toler- ate and under which it could not be con ducted with success. Every method that counts for system in spending the money of the people should be introduced in govern mental affairs and made strict duty.
