WHAT GARY THINKS OF LAW

Gary, Indiana, Hasn't been bother
ing it's head about laws that are
made, at least about the Nolstead
law. 1t is being bothered little just
now. but doubtless expects to get
off with a rcprimard and most Of the
Illicit gain it has made from liquor
selling.
1t may have been a little discon-
certinS when federal officials went
into Gary, Monday afternoon, and
rounded up sixty of seventy pillars of
the community on bOotlescing
charges. The list included the
mayor, in whose car liquor was found
being transported from man who
recently secured the return of it
from the Federal Government. the
sheriff of the county, the Cit judge,
prosecuting attorney, justices of the
peace. bar tenders. and host of
underlngs. all probably concerned in
the ''rakc-off."
Immediately we may expect an
cutlery for some modification of the
law rather than an allopathic and
continuous dose OF enforcement of the
law we now have

WE WONDER WHY

In these days of much lawmaking
comes the zeal for the making of new
laws. Laws have become the most
common place things in the wide
world unless an occasion arises for
using them. Then it is discovered
after much searching that the kind of
law needed isn't in stock or else
there is no one about the shop who
understands just how to use it.
The growing intellect that of the
boy for instance. seeks application,
even to the extent of trying out a
thing on the dog. Grown-ups APP
pear to have lost all that desire for
adventuring in wisdom. They tinker
laws with a gravity BETTING a mas
ter mechanic but seemingly care no,
a straw what may be done with them.
In process of time the law arrives
at a test, which often reveals weak
ness to be strengthened. The doing
of this-or the undong of it's a
rightful function of the law making
bodies. But having done that they
do not go home; sometimes they put
off the doing OF those necessary
things until it is too late. Jus: why
is a conundrum. This is not men,
toned in a spirit of criticism, rath-
ef in wondcrment, for all law maxi
ing bodies act after similar fashion.
There probably is a reason for all
this. but what is it? Why should
makers contemplate with cool
aloofness the deeds of an invisible
government" as at Mer Rouge, the
atrocities of a visible and defiant
government, as at Herrin, bootleg
gers paying income taxes, and get
call het up over a proposed law to
regulate hicupping babies by a
member Of the Presidents cabinet?

failure to apply the laws we have
and so blithely on making more, add

SHOULD AFFORD INSPIRATION

The report that there is great ac-
tivity for I.u kluX membership
among the students of the University
of Maine need excite no serious ap-
prehension even supposlng there were
any foundation for it, as does not
appear to be the case. 1t is not
difficult to understand how, this
secret order might appeal to school
boys. out for a lark or anything
promising n bit of adventure. 1t
would not be strange to learn that Il
large part of the membership of this
order is formed out of q spirit of
boys play" The serious side of the
matter is not thought about, or if so
is UNDECIDED. Once convinced they
are sin wrong" they would drop out,
which is said to be just what is hap
pening in those parts of the country
where the order has been operating
for a considerable time. The fact
that it necessarily is a cowardly adj
venture, this sneaking about under
disguise, will not be lost on the mind
of the schoolboy when he has had
time to think it over
1t is not surprising that the Prcsi-
dent of Maine is indignant over this,
which he believes to be false rumor
without basis in fact. But the re-
action may prove beneficial. Right
now the friends of the institution arc
making an earnest effort to supply
that with which the students would
have better ways for their energy
than in ku klux exploits, a new
gymnasium and armory. This incl
dent will spur them to greater en-
deavor, will serve to emphasize the
need. 1t undoubtedly is a real need.
and there is another scarcely less i'm
portant-the enlisting of the alumni
of the institution in the worthy
cause. The alumni of the University
are comparatively young: they have
not had the opportunity to acuire of
this worlds goods such an overplus
as might be in the case of men longer
out of college. But they have the
enthusiasm, the will to endeavor and
the assurance that an earnest,
aroused alumni is a tower of strength
for any institution.

Russian Peasant Must
Work. Rules Soviet

Vladivostok, Jan. 3.-Trouble with
the peasants next spring is anticipat-
cd as a result of the Soviet's decision
to make a division of the land. The
peasants of Far Eastern Russia are
mostly landowners possessing from 80
to $50 acres each. This they do not
work themselves but hire out to Ko-
rcans who come over here and take up
agriculture. The Koreans in return
give the Russian a share of the pro-
duce, while the peasant spends his time
in hunting. fishing and working on the
forest concessions.
Now the Soviet Government will
bring into force the laws that arc in
force in Russia. in other words each
peasant will get only as much land as
he and his family is capable of work.
ing. This will naturally mean great
loss to the Russian peasant and also
more labor than he is accustomed to
do. Korean settlers coming into the
country will receive land on the same
terms as the Russian settlers.

ROBBING THE LIVING

The statements made by the
States fuel director, Mr.. Lane. before
the members of the Legislature,
Tuesday evening, warrant considera-
ton and action. Especially is this
so With regard to the evidence he
presented showing that certain coal
dealers in the City of Portland have
been selling bags said to contain IS
pounds of coal. but which as a mat
ter of fact contained less and that but
ten per cent coal, the rest being
slate and rock, that for these such
charges We're made as to bring the
selling price per ton at $50 to s35
per ton.
A ghoul is defined as an evil spirit
supposed to rob graves. 1t is not a
term in good rcpute. The terms ap-
piled to those who rob the living are
in better repute possibly because it
is assumed the living have some de-
Tense. In this matter of -obbing the
living because of a fuel famine the
latter really have no defense; they
must take what is offered or freeze.
Those engaged in the robbing surely
are no better an' no more entitled
to euphonicus anc mild terms than is
the ghoul. Moreover this conscience
less making Of the coal dealer and
the ghoul like terms of opprobrium
Is very unjust.
There are communities in this
State which owe much to their coal
dealers for enterprise shown and for
efforts made to Fccp the pu,lic sup
piled with fuel at fair rates, all
things considered. Augusta is one of
those places. Presumably there are
coal dealers in Portland that have
been fair and decent, but surely those
cited by Fuel Director Lane are not
of that kind. AS the situation was
left, the names of those dealers not
being made public, all in Portland
come under suspicion. Why should
not the names of those coal robbers
be made public?
And while asking questions we
would like to know why, if the last
isn't applicable to the offcnse, Sec "A
of Chap. 4s, r. s., where it provides
penalties for one who offers for sale
or sells "less than the quantity he
represents" might not be invoked
In fact the seller of packages said to
be coal and being 80 per cent some
thing else is obtaining money under
false pretenccs, is a plain swindler.
Has Maine been n century making
laws and now has none that will
reach the rascal?
The utterly contemplate spirit on
the part of certain alleged business
men revealed in the statements of
Fuel Director Lane is almost incredi-
BILE. The difficulties under which our
fuel director has been working are
also in some measure revealed and in
view of the revelation it would seem
the public owed him vote of thanks
and support such as he may need to
cope with the conditions.

Editorial Comment
Unreasonable Demands
Lewiston Sun)


All the time there is demand for
more money than it is reasonable to
ask the State to spend. For instance,
Portland wants money for a State
Pier, Lewiston wants money for an
armory. But the States money
should be spent in Lewiston or Port
land according to the best interest of
the State,-not just to please Port
land or to please Lewiston. Each
piece of expenditure is intended to
serve State purpose. The State
cannot give Portland all she asks
and Lewiston all she asks: the State
should spend only so much in either
case as the general State interest
demands. Portland may have to give
way to lewiston: Lewiston may have
to give way to Portland: or each may
get an appropriation much smaller
than seems to either city indispen-
sable.
