Let's Get Acquainted
lEDTTORIALl

Seattle is the best city in the world. The statement
Savors of hraggRdoco. but who live in il must
believe It. And that is not all; must also do all
in our power to make the statement 100 per cent true
Nature has been lavish with us; we make the most
Of her gifts But do make the most Of our man
made opportunities
II is pointed out on this page that while our local
manufacturers are shipping their products outside of
the home territory the home territory is buying the
same products made elsewhere. This is an economic
waste, and waste is fast becoming the worlds card
nal sin.
We are growing TO be n great metropolis. But
while we are growing. let strive to foster that
great smaltown characteristic of knowing each other
who we are, where we are. and what are doing.
Let us get acquainted with each other, and keep
acquainted
And then let's stand together for our mutual
welfare.

PINCH0T ATTACKED
BY FEDERAL JUDGE
Says Pennsylvania Courts Are
Idle While Dry Cases Clog
U. S. Dockets.
Rr the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SCRANTON, Pa. October 17.-Paus-
ing during the trial of liquor cases,
attention to the 500 cases of alleged
violations of the prohibition law be-
fore the federal courts of Pennsyl-
vania, and declared that Gov. Pinchot,
instead of calling on others to take
personal supervision of liquor viola
tions. should set an example by using
the state courts to punish the viola
tors.
Such a course, Judge Wilmer said.
not only would convince the people
''of the governors sincerity in his pro-
claimed efforts to wipe out liquor
violations, but also would greatly
assist the federal government in the
orderly ard efficient administration
of the law
1T seems strange" said Judge
Wilmer. that although Gov. Pinchot,
in speech, is reported as having
called upon President Coolidge to
personally take charge of the liquor
question, while he. the governor, is
content to shove all the liquor viola
tions i'll the federal court. thereby
clogging the trial list and preventing
the administration of law and JUS
tice in matters equally important, in
addition to preventing litigants from
obtaining an early trial and diSpo
sition of their respective rights. while
the state courts remain idle and
waiting for business.
1T is time that the various state
officials, from the governor on down,
act in matters of this kind, instead
of calling upon others to do so.

The address of Henry j. Allen, for

Pinchot presented his ideas on en-

The former Governor of Kansas eX-
pressed the belief it was Pennsyl-

NEW YORK. October 17.-Wayne
Il. Wheeler, general counsel of the
AntiSaloon League of America, de-
clares in a formal statement that
Gov. Pinchot's plan to place the pro-
hibition unit directly under the Pres
ident will not take it out of politics,
but it Will put more punch into dry
enforcement.
Even under the present system it
is difficult to locate responsibility for
certain failures in enforcement" ;"
said the statement This would not
be materially helped by transferring
the prohibition unit to the Justice
Department. The governors plan
would locate responsibility for fall
ure or success so that the people
would know whom to praise or blame.
This would be helpful.
THE most effective method to take
prohibition enforcement out of pol
itics would be to put these federal
agents under civil service"

Early Tax Reduction.

Representative Green of Iowa, pros.
pective chairman of the committee on
WAYS and means, announces that the
committee, which it Is expected will
be appointed this week, will be called
in meeting next week to begin work
on the Mellon tax.reduction bill. This
is good news, indicating that 1t is
the earnest intention of the majority
party in the House to act in good
faith on the administration program.
Mr.. Green points out that the In
come taxes affected will not be paid
until 1925. This will doubtless be dis
appointing to many who may have
thought that the reductions would be
effective next year, but that, of course,
would be out Of the question, since 1t
would be retroactive legislation. Mr..
Green expresses realization OF the
magnitude Of the task ahead OF the
committee, which he thinks should in
clude a complete revision Of the rev.
enue laws with a view to their simpli-
fication.

than twenty years to secure a sepa-
rate building for the Library. Many
Washingtonians used to read in this
Library when 1t was housed in sew
eral chambers In the Capitol. Books
were piled on the floor and heaped in
corners. In 1879 the book collection
had outgrown it's quarters, and the
matter of a special Library building
came up in Congress time and again,
but 1t was not until the mid-eighties
that the square east OF the Capitol

The Growing Mexican Revolt.

News from Mexico daily grows
more gravely indicative Of wide and
spreading revolt against the estab-
lished government, despite the an
nouncement Of the withdrawal OF
Gales from the presidential race. The
revolutionists, whose inspiration was
the protest against Obregon's advocacy
of him, are persisting in their ad-
vance. Garrisons are joining their
ranks. The latest detection from the
governments forces Is that or the
garrison at Tampico, which has gone
over to the anti.Obregon forces. a
general advance against Mexico City
has begun. Upon the success or this
movement will depend in great meas.
ure the fate Of the Obregon govern
ment. If the capital is taken the ad.
ministration will probably be over
turned. If, on the other hand. Mexico
City Is successfully defended the revo-
luton may not collapse. but may con-
tinue in somewhat scattered warfare.
The moral effect of a successful stand
however is likely to be seriously dis
couraging to the insurgents and may
check further disaffection.
The fight in Mexico has now de-
veloped into an attack on Obregon
rather than upon his candidate for the
succession. In his seizure of power
several years ago In overthrowlng
Carranza and in consolidating the gov
ernment under his presidency he natu-
rally made enemies. Those enemies
have been quiescent until lately. Now
they are taking advantage of the re-
sentiment at the alleged attempt to
dictate the election, and they would
seem to be combining in attack, with
only the one mutual idea of depriving
Obregon of power. Thus 1t may be ex-
pected that if they should succeed in
this object they will themselves difrer,
and thus there is a prospect, in the
event of their victory, Of the renewal
of civil strife as each group seeks as
tendency.
The interest Of the United States in
this situation is merely that there
should be responsible government at
Mexico City capable of administering
all parts of the republic efficiently and
of keeping faith with this country and
with others. With the revolution it.
self we have no concern save on this
score. though the American people de-
plore the spectacle of renewal OF
strife and bloodshed.

tended on government reservations
south of the Capitol. The proposed
water garden would take In the tidal
marsh north and south Of the old
Benning race track and east Of Dean
wood and Kenilworth, and it might be
that some of the low alluvial land
above tide would also be taken by the
government.
Another proposal is to take over the
Mount Hamilton and Hickey hill
tracts as a national arboretum, which
would naturally also be a bird sane
tuary. These tracts, on the west side
of the Eastern branch, are Of d.versi-
fed topography, where every tree that
grows in the United States might
thrive excepting the subtroplcal
species. Mount Hamilton rises about
230 feet above sea level. and Hickey
hill Is 200 feet high, its east face drop
ping sharply to the river. Between
these hills is valley through which
Hickey branch runs. The territory Is
generally hilly and rugged, with deep
meadow and field.
The creation of Anacostia Park is
the main thing. The experiment gar
den and sanctuary can be brought
into being, the government making a
division of marsh between the garden
and the park project. The arboretum
Is highly desirable. 1t would also
bring an addition to the park area of
the Capital and supplement Anacostia
Park, from which It would be sepa-
rated by a narrow stream.

Library of Congress.

The librarian Of Congress, in his an
nual report, calls for more space. He
says that "a new stack in the north.
east court, balancing the southeast
court stack, and exhausting the pos
sibilities of shelf expansion within the
walls of the building, would be the
least expensive and most. expeditions
measure" He adds that another
twelve or fifteen years will develop a
necessity for new construction outside
the present building"
Nearly everything in Washington
grows. When work on the new Ii.
brary building was begun in 1885,
and when it was finished In 1882. 1t
was thought that the edifice would
give room for books for a very long
time. 1t was a common saying that
the new building would meet the
needs of the Library "for hundred
years to come" Some even said that
the new building would meet the
needs of the Library "for all time"
Yet we find that the building has al
ready. been outgrown in q quarter Of
a century.
