Prohibition Pot and Kettle

Little is gained by the pot calling
the kettle black. Gov. Pinchot of
Pennsylvania, in an address before
the great citizenship conference on
law enforcement now in session here,
practically charged that the failure OF
prohibition enforcement lay at the
door of Washington, the federal gov.
ernment Federal Prohibition Com.
missioner Haynes, on the other hand,
addressing the same conference,
charged that the fault lay in the fall
ure of adequate cooperation on the
part of the state and municipal au.
thorities with the federal government.
These gentlemen united on one
thing, the blackness of politics as
it is played in this country. Mr..
Pinchot urged that the prohibition en-
forcement service be taken out of
politics" Mr.. Haynes urged that poll.
tics be made "clean" by the people in
the states, and insisted that under
such conditions there would be no
doubt about the enforcement OF pro.
hibition or any other law.
Under the system Of government
that prevails in the United States,
party government, it appears impos.
sible, as n practical matter, to take
prohibition enforcement out Of politics.
The suggestion of Mr.. Haynes that
politics be improved gets at the real
meat of the situation.
The citizenship conference has be-
gun as Il great movement on the part
of an aroused people to bring about
obedience to and respect for the law.
1t would be sad, indeed. if the real is.
sue, so vital to the republic, should
become beclouded through a contro.
versy as to whether the federal gov
ernment or the state governments are
to blame for the lack of enforcement
of the prohibition law. Not only
would it be sad, but 1t would be cause
for considerable rejoicing on the part
of the lawbreakers.
What is needed is cooperation to
the uttermost degree between state
and federal authorities in the war on
the criminals now violating the Con.
stitution and ths dry law. There is
little to be proud Of, either in Wash.
ington or in Pennsylvania today.
when it comes to the question Of vio-
lation Of the prohibition act. Undoubt-
edly the ventilation OF these evil con-
ditIons will do good.
One thing is increasingly evident as
the citizenship conference has pro
gressed. The time has come when men
in hign places, merely because they
are in high places. are not to be long
! immune from obedience to the pro-
hibition law, If the people who believe
in prohibition have their way. The
speakers have pointed out that it is
not the poor, ignorant foreigner or
mountaineer who needs attention most,
but those respectable citizens Of means.
who act as if prohibition applied in full
force to the worker, the man who was
compelled to get his liquor in the cor.
ner saloon, but not at all to them.

A New Kind of Dog Show.

A mutt dog show is to be given at
Washington by the Humane Educa-
tional Society, and it is planned to
form a National Mutt Show Associa.
ton which will hold an exposition at
the Capital each year. A mutt is the
kind OF dog that belongs to the aver
age Washington man and boy. Some
times this kind Of dog does not "be-
long," but lives in freedom by his wits.
That is a hard way to live, and any
dog in that state would welcome
adoption by boy. The only dog to
be barred from the approaching show
will be the one with a recorded pedi-
gree. The judges will have naught to
do with dog genealogy. 1t is what a
dog is and not what his great-grand-
father was that is to count.
The plebeian dog is to have his day.
Perhaps he is now expressing himself,
by vibrations of his tail and other
wise, in somewhat this fashion:
"Yelp! Yelp! Pass the news to Towser
Smith, Bowser Jones, Rags Brown and
all the other regular fellows that we
are going to have q plain business

manicures and footmen; dogs that
have never felt the bite of fiea.s; dogs
that have never dug for bones, will

anything after the trip, will not have
standing room In this show. We dogs

The New York Post feels that the
addresses OF Premier Baldwin and Lord
Curzon before the conference SHOW
one side OF Downing Street is imper-
fectly in sympathy with what the other
side OF Downing Street Is doing" al
though the Spokane Spokesman Review
suggests this is of no great consequence
because "a powerful appeal will be
made to the patriotism OF the as
sembled premiers, to their pride in the
great British Empire and to their self
interest SO that the results may exert
profound bearing on our trade re-
lations with the British Empire and
with Canada in particular"
This view Is amplifled by the Detroit
Free Press in calling attention to
the fact that "the British Isles do not
ask to be the exclusive beneficiary in
any arrangement for the promotion Of
trade that may be evolved. The bene-
fits are to be mutual and everybody,
the helpers and the helped, is to be
happier and richer. The empire will be
working toward a goal that will make
1t self sustaining In every direction.
The dominions are TO provide the food
stuffs and the raw materials for manu-
featuring, the British Isles are to pro-
vide industrial plants. the overseas dis
tributing mediums and the defense

policy is policy Of peace. and it's drift

Greece followed the knowledge Of
the Egyptians
When Romulus founded Rome, .he
proclaimed a new measurement of
the year. The Egyptian year was
so short that the feast days of win
ter gradually receded into autumn,
then backward into summer Romulus
made the year 365 days, and that
measure continued up to the time of
Julius Caesar.
But the suns crossing of the merid-
Ian at the same altitude showed that
800 days were not a full year. Gem
turtles had passed since the time OF
Romulus, and the error was cunu-
lative. Julius Caesar proposed to cor

Twenty-Three in Four DAYS.

Wholesale grade-crossing killings
are coming so rapidly now that 1t

dents of last week when fourteen lost

danger. stopped the machine, evident.
ly trying to back off the tracks, but
not in time TO avoid being hit. All
but one Of the occupants of the car
were killed. one man escaping by
jumping.
These circumstances clearly indi.
cate that the view Of the track was
obscured, else the driver Of the car
would not have gone ahead. There
are hundreds OF these crossings in this
country, places where there are no
gates and no signals save perhaps d
warning sign. These mute signs.
however, have become ineffective.
There must be something to arrest
sharply the attention of the motorist,
a flashing light or a gong. In New
York state swinging sign hanging
over the road gives notice that dan.
ger is near. At a crossing in one of
the New England states where nu-
merous fatalities have occurred the
wreckage of machines that have been
hit by trains has been assembled and
hung upon telephone poles on both
sides OF the track.
One OF the terrible facts in connec-
ton with the grade crossing evil is
that the slaughter is in such large
numbers. For instance, in the Penn
sylvania accident last week six were
killed. and in the Ohio case eight were
killed. Yesterday in Indiana nine lost
their lives, a total of twenty-three
fatalities in four days in three cases.
