SUFFICIENT.

This thing is going too far A chap begins to suspect that many Of the advocates of prohibition are try ing to see just how much harm they can do that cause which is backed sincerely by many good people.
 Just the other day man stood forth and made the pronouncement that prohibition is wonderful benefit to the world because all the vice that exists is hidden from the public. He told the people, in seeming serious ness the awful things he had not seen and, again in seeming seriousness, pre- tended to believe that it was a won- derful country today. because Of pro- hibition, merely because all the vice in the land was hidden.
 Now that was pretty bad. But along comes another who appears 10 be an ardent advocate of the Vol stead law although we may be over eomplimenting him. He assumes the same attitude but in a different way. Some enforcement officers who were alleged 10 have been bit irregular in the matter Of handling liquor were arrested and came before judge. The judge is reported to have remarked spropos Of the 'clean-up" going on in his jurisdiction. that Hast week it was possible to get a drink in almost any church, and it wns nothing unusual to see a bootlegger teaching Sunday school class
 Now see here, folks, that sort of thing is pretty strong. Evils may have come from the Nolstead act and its manner of enforcement, but if all the vice in the country is hidden now, and if, "a few weeks ago" anyone could gei drink in a church and bootleg- gers were teaching Sunday school classes, then, as long as the Nolstead act is in effect these conditions may come again and these things may be done again. Better far, if the alleged statements of the worthy gentlemen mentioned are facts, that tho rolstead act be changed SO that its own par ents would not know ii, Why arc 'drys" knocking the prohibition cause in this subtle manner? Or perhaps they do not realize they are knocking t,

to suggest that the constitution should
 be changed in any way in regard to
 citizenship. We shall hereafter be
 chary of advocating any change in.the constitution unless it be q change back
 to its original form in some respects. But the thought is bound to come of the criminals who are automatically deprived of citizenship upon convic- ton of some crimes, and the thought comes that there are many other Americans and aliens alike, who have no more right to citizenship than the criminals who are covered by the law in this regard. It is no feeling that the Japanese should be admitted nor that those already here should be allowed to become citizens, that prompts this line of thought. It is merely the idea of trying to emphasize the value of American citizenship which calls forth comments upon this little sentence in the immigration bill. And that sen tence, in turn, leads to thoughts of the helplessnoss of human hengs in their attempt to make all things fair and just.
 Thus the desire comes to think constantly of the many splendid men and women who are Ineligible" for ! the possession that is ours, and which we sometimes hold too lightly American citizenship. So remember ! ing, we are inclined to ourselves be- l come better citizens through apprecia- 1. tion of all it means throughout the ! world.

THE TRAFFIC HEARING

One good thing has come out Of the one-way traffic disenssion-the people are taking notice and speaking up, at least some of them are. It would he pleasant to hear from all the automobilists who drive into the center, stop, do their shopping or other business and drive away again.
 The center is, certainly. the mer- chants work shop. Every considera- ton should be shown him. Some have said that the one-way traffic injures business. Another says that we should not hurry traffic through the center, butindicated that we should encourage the consregating of many people in thecente so that more business would be done.
 If one-wsy traffic injures the busi- ness of our merchants after a long trial, to the extent of treating them unfairly. there should be no one-way traffic arrangement. But ws do not believe any merchant may lay the blame for slack business to one way traffic after trial of few weeks, Tho trial should be longer and the mer- chants will undoubtedly be fair in their final conclusion as to the effect, fl any. one-wsy traffic has upon if. It would seem that one-say traffic would facilitate movement about the center, rather than hurrying it through the center. It would seem that after the people became accusomed to the new order of things they would be able to do more shopping for in- stance. in a given space of time in the center, than they were when it was not so easy to get about
 But these arc arguments that can he settled only after fair trial, one long enough 10 have the merchants see actually whether or not one-way trafrc affects them and it so, how. Then the other people Of the city should he considered. for they have rights in the center ss well as the business men there, They too want to be able 10 do their shopping con ,enientiy. The whole thing Is a serious matter and thorough trial Of the present system should be made before h shous he abandoned. We Are still for it, believing that the business in ,he center IS aided rather than harmed by the one-way plan, and that inc vast ma iority of the people arc benefited by it.

IMPORTANT ISSUES BEFORE REALTORS
Sharper Teeth in Code Of Ethics
 Demanded by Chairman

Washington, June 4--Ethieal, legis- lative and educational questions were placed before the general session of the annual convention of the National Association Of Real Estate Boards to- day.
 Sharper teeth in the associations code of ethics was demanded by X. II. Barnhisel of Tacoma, Wash, chair man Of the committee on ethics, who declared it was the business of real tors to see that the new era of service to the individual and civic responsi- hilty has come to stay"
 Morton l.. Corey of the federal farm loan board, in an address prepared for tho mortgage and finance division meeting, described the record of the federal land banks as the "bcst an- gwer to the opponents of a govern ment supervised cooperative loan system."
 Axaiing proposals to prevent fur- ther issuance of tax exempt securities, he said it was "hard for those who fully appreciate the importance Of this system 10 agriculture 10 theorize about speculative economic benefits Of The prohibition Of tax exempt securi- tics when they are confronted by the hard, cold fact that the adoption of such an amendment would probably force an increase Of the loan rate Of the federal land banks from one-half 10 one per cent per annum."
 suggestion that taxation Of farm lands be based not directly on their capital value, but on the net value from year to year Of the product was advanced by Dr. L. c. Gray in charge of the division of land economies of the department of agriculture. Taxes he explained, have come to take so large a part of the total net income from farm lands that under the haz- ards Of modern farming e searching examination of the whole method of tsx levy is needed to mould the sys- tenn Of taxation in accordance with

brings many men to the making of that steam shovel. Because it was in- vented, there is more work in the world for men 10 do,
 This is but a homely example of the general and individual good that has come because of the various in- ventions which have resulted in the doing by machinery of much of the work formerly performed by men. Broadly speaking never has the world been as prosperous as it is today; never has there been so much to be done. Progess has brought prosperity, and the end Is not yet.
 As far as this city is concerned it is being proven that the buying of machinery to replace man-power is justifying itself.

MAN POWER MORE
 THAN HORSE POWER
OarSmen More Efficient Than
 Engines in Short Race

Nov Haven, June 4.--Members of the Yale crew are more efficient than most steam or gasoline engines in driving the boat during race. &C., cording to measurements to determine the horsepower generated by the ath- letcs, announced by Prof. Yandell Henderson of Yale.
 Experiments have been conducted with special apparatus at the Yale bureau of health. The tests proved that one fourth or the energy produc- cd by the oarsmen goes toward driv- ing the boat.
 In describing tho tests in the Yale News today Prof. Henderson states that special type of rowing machine was constructed, also a Easometer or air tank. The man undergoing the test held a mouthpiece, similar 10 g gas mask. in his mouth and breathei through valves and large rubber tube. The air and its constituent oxy- gen inspired and the carbon dioxide exhaled were measured.
 "The efficiency reached as 2 result Of training vas strikineiy shown" says Prof. Henderson. and tho results furnished 2 basis for calculating the energy expended during a race. The energy is actually measured by the amount Of oxygen consumed by each minute. one liter Tor quart) Of oxy- gen giyfng l.s calorics Of heat. or 2nSo kiloEram meters. or fs.oo0 foot pounds or nearly half horsepower for a minute. About one fourth or this energy produced goes into tho oar and is applied to driving the boat: a higher efficiency than most steam or gasoline engines attain.
 ''The crew men gre now consuming about n.H liter of oxygen even when sitting at rest. They are able to carry a consumption of oxygen well ID to 5 Hters oxygen per minute for the whole period Of the race and each man breathes co t0 70 liters (f5 10 1T gal lonsD of air a minute. For tvo or three minutes at q time they can get up an oxygen consumption Of filters min utc. This'is as high a figure as has ever ftarn measured on man. During tre first two or three minutes of 3 rarc they also run tp an oxygen de- firit of or < litcrs. The total energy production of each man is thus well toward four horsepower in the hrst fcr minutes With nearly 1 horsepower dris inc the boat through each oar. The fuel consumption Of four mile ,ses z-aoua.s to t,stvsan quarter and a haIf pound oiys1gar per man.

FANATICS BOOMERANG

Again may we say this is no discus sion of the merits or demerits of vac eination. When there was smallpox in this city most Of the people were yaecinated; the menace Of the disease hss boon lifted--and that is all there is 10 it except the continuing feeling of sympathy for those who suffered, for those near to the few who died.
 But the claim made by an anti vaccination publication that a certain death here, came as a result Of vac cination will prove boomerang to the cause Of the anti-yaccinationists Pub fishing such reports about a case Of which se know. indicates that similar published reports of other eases or other arguments advanced against vaccination may not be relied upon. Grant. if you Htll, that vaccination has caused deaths. We have every e,i- dence that this death was not the re- suit of vaccination. The health au- thoritics so state; the records show such to be the fact as far as 1t is humanity possible 10 diagnose a casn, and the surrounding circumstances in- dicate that vaccination contributed in 10 gay to this Sad death.
 Az previously. stated in these col umns VIC hope that when argumcn cts arc raised for or against q cause they will be arguments based on facts or sound philosophy. The published re- ports regarding this death will moi aid the anti-saccinationists cause wHh thoss aho krow Inc facts, al- though. spread broadcast throughout jhs land. the article ma do much to boost the cause of those uho do not bc'ierc tn this method Of meeting the terrible menace cf the diacase.
