Fruit Crop News,

Fruit crop news in the East and

State marketing officials Of the Mid
die Atlantic division report a general
shortage Of apple crops throughout
the Middle Atlantic States. The secre-
tary of the Maryland State Horticul-
tural Society has said that the
principal apple-growing counties in
Maryland show a general shortage in
the crop, though fair crops are prom
ised on the Eastern Shore and in a
few counties on the Western Shore.
Shortage in the peach and apple
crops in Delaware is reported.
From the peach belt Of the South
comes news that peaches are being
thrown away because the Northern
market price for them is so low that
it does not pay to ship them. The
Star has printed a dispatch from Ma
con that 1.-THE aroma Of fermenting
peaches is arising from the streams
and fields Of middle and southern
Georgia, for during the last ten days
peach growers have thrown away ap-
proximately 100000 bushels, or 5000
carloads, Of the fruit" It is said that
peaches in the North "are not bring
ing shipping charges" and that
$1,000 cars have been sold during the
last week at prices below the actual
freight charges

Ford and Prohibition.

"The eighteenth amendment Is part
Of the fundamental law Of this country;
it was meant, to be enforced, and so
far as our organization Is concerned It
is going to be enforced to the letter"
Thus says Henry Ford to his employees
in an order that has been posted in
all Of his factories, coupled with the
warning of immediate dismissal with
out appeal for any person In the Ford
orgAnlxation who has the odor Of beer
wine or other liquor on his breath, or
has intoxicants on his person or IN his
house.
In issuing this order Mr.. Ford is
following. his normal lines Of proce-
dure. He demands efficiency on the
part of his workers, and he holds that
ef1lciency and liquor are not compati.
BILE. This, indeed, was the rule that
had been with more or less stringency
adopted by many employers in this
country before the eighteenth amend
ment was adopted. Ford goes further,
however, in demanding fun respect fer
the prohibition law outade 0f the hours
and places Of employment.
In view Of the high scale Of pay pre-.
vailing at the Ford establishments,

Asset or Liability?

The two-million dollar campaign
fund which the La Toilette supporters
are seeking was boosted to the extent
Of s500.00O yesterday when that sum
was pledged by representatives of the
United Hebrew Trades and the Jewish
Socialist Alliance in New York. AS
this action was being taken the ma
tional executive committee Of the So
cialist party met and unanimously in
dorsed the candidacy of Senator
Wheeler for the vice presidency, the
committee having previously Endorsed
Senator La Toilette for President. At
night mass meeting was held at
which the speakers stressed the neces-
sity of making an active campaign for
the radical ticket.
These occurrences probably were
very encouraging to the La Toilette
and Wheeler supporters, but there
may be a reverse side to the shield.
AS the radical and sinister forces of
the electorate gather in solid phalanx
to the support Of the radical ticket
that the effect will be to cause the
thoughtful men and women who will
exercise the franchise this Fall to
stop, look and listen and later to grid
themselves to do battle with the radi-
Gals?
Ever since the La Toilette move
ment started there have been daily in
dications Of the intention Of the radi-
calls and Socialists to attach them
selves to the movement. To be sure,
Senator La Toilette at the outset
sought to discourage the communists
from getting on board, but he cannot
keep them from voting for him If they
want to nor contributing their money.
1t is an open question whether the
support Of the La Toilette Wheeler
ticket by such pronounced radicals, so
ostentatiously proclaimed, will be an
asset or a liability to the ticket. once
the people take it seriously and put on
their thinking caps.

Merrimac's Ram
In National Museum
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The cast-iron ram or, PROV of the
Confederate iron clad Virginia (Mer-
rimac) Is now lying In front Of an
iron foundry in Baltimore Md, 1t
the Jones Hollow Ware Co., 1000
block, Ashland avenue.
1t could be destroyed by careless
workmen II thrown into one Of the
foundry furnaces.
Its authenticity 10 vouched for and
it undoubtedly is tho original Mer-
rimao ram, having been positively
identified by Mr.. H "A. Ramsey who
was chief engineer Of the Merrimac.
There is absolutely no local inter
est in the preservation Of this Civil
War Confederate relic n Il Ia In no
way associated with Baltimore City
or State Of Maryland history.
After careful consideration Of the
matter the conclusion has been
reached that this ram is in every
sense q national relic and logically
should be in the possession Of the
on public exhibition at the National
Museum where 1t could be seen BY
people from every part Of the world.
For every person who would look 1T
this Merrimac relic In Baltimore 1t
least 10000 visitors to Washington
could see It. It probably could be
obtained as . national relic from the
present owners without cost and an
effort to save 1t before 1t II irre-
trisyabiy lost should be made ct once.

A Novel Trial.

A judicial proceeding worthy of
particular note begins this morning in
Chicago, where two young men are
placed on trial for their lives before a
Judge. with the jury box vacant. Testi-
mony will be presented after formal
statement Of the case by the proSecut-
ing attorney. The purpose of the pro-
ceeding is to acquaint the judge with
all the circumstances OF an atrocious
crime to enable him to determine the
penalty. Upon him alone will rest the
responsibility. He must decide whether
to send the accused to the gallows or
to Imprisonment for life. Inasmuch
as a plea of guilty has been entered
there will presumably be no appeal
from his decision. Nothing like this
has ever happened before in American
courts.
There is a great gain in this, gain
for society at large and for tho imme-
date community of the trial. The
country is spared a spectacle which
there was reason to fear would shake
public confidence in the efficacy of the
law. The community is spared the
loss Of the services Of a large number
Of men, possibly women as well,
drawn first as venire men and then as
Jurors to serve an indefinite length
of time as the judges of fact.
Whereas this case was expected to
run for many weeks In the first in
stance, and to be protracted for many
months in the supplementary proceed
ings, there is now the prospect of q
determination within a fortnight or q
month at most. Many witnesses will
be heard as to the facts. The defense,
however, has abandoned the plea OF
insanity, and thereby has forfeited the
right to call alienists as witnesses. 1t
must take the facts as established by
the State as the basis for arguments
for the mitigation of penalty. for i'm.
prisonment for life as against capital
punishment.
1t would be we'll if this course were
generally followed, If in cases Of as
sured and fragrant guilt defendants
were to be thrown upon the mercy Of
the court without the Intervention Of
iuries to determine the degree and ma
ture of punishment. The example Of
Clarence Darrow, counsel-in-chief for
the, accused in Chicago. whose recon-
mendations undoubtedly have infiu-
enced this course in the present case,
should be followed by the attorneys in
other causes, where no question Of fact
can reasonably be raised. The Ameri-
can courts would gain greatly in ef-
flciency by such a procedure.

Member of the Associated Press
A Blacklist Campaign.


While the preliminaries Of the La
Toilette nomination were in progress
out at Cleveland the suggestion was
made that the Wisconsin progressive
was not in fact beguiled by the idea
that he might be elected President,
but he was really starting the cam
paign to increase his following in Con-
gress, in order to obtain a hold upon
legislation as the balance of power in
both houses. Yet the procedure of
making a National ticket was pressed
and now the ticket is completed and
is before the country. Yet the thought
that the major purpose Of this move
ment is to gain strength in Congress
persists, and is given new force by
the disclosure that plans are now max
ing to establish a blacklist in the con-
gressional campaign. 1t is reported
that members of the House and Sen
ate who have been renominated. and
all the candidates for Congress whose
utterances or platforms are regarded
as unfriendly to organized labor are
to be opposed and if possible defeated.
This is not the first time labor black
lists have been framed and efforts
made to compass the defeat of in
dividual members of House and Sem
ate who have failed to win the ap-
proval of the unions or brotherhoods.
Mr.. Gompers could doubtless tell those
at La Toilette headquarters something
along this line. For he has under
taken blacklist campaigns and seldom
to his satisfaction.
1t may well be doubted whether Mr.
La Toilette will be aided in any way
by the knowledge on the public's part
that he is aiming at reprisals. OF
course. il he is a serious candidate for
the presidency he is fully entitled to
seek the election with him and his
ticket mate of a progressive House
and Senate. But that means making
nominations in all States, in all dis
tricts. That means, in turn, a country
wide organization. which it is patent
is lacking in the La Toilette move
ment. The best he can do Is to secure
the reelection Of members of House
and Senate here and there who are
known to be friendly to If not directly
affiliated with his peculiar policies
That is entirely praiseworthy. But
the mere defeat Of others for the sake
Of beating them, to punish them for
their views and votes, is not regarded
by the country at large as partaking
OF that good sportsmanehip which.
after all, is one of the fundamentals
Of the American political game. 1t is
likely to be resented, and. as in other
campaigns where this same attempt
has been made, to result in even in
creased votes for those attacked.

Parley on Superpower
Has Big Potentialities

International conferences or con-
crosses of men of science, of INDUS
trial leaders and of representatives
of the liberal professions having
long been a feature of modern ciVili-
zation, it is the more surprising that
the power conference now in session
at Wembley, England, is the first Oh
its kind. 1t was called, however TO
deal specifically with superpower.
which may be looked upon as new
phenomenon having great potehliah-
ties.
Engineers of national and interna-
tional reputation are taking part III
the conference to exchange notes ana
discuss the various novel and impor-
tant questions presented by super
power The paper sent by Secretary
Hoover Of the American Department
of Commerce, who is also an en-
gineer and organizer of high repu-
tation, indicates some of those prob
lens.
Superpower, Mr.. Hoover points out.
means chiefly the interconnection of
isolated power plants In the interest
of economy and conservation. AT
present American plants, for exam
pie, are operated, on the average, at
nection would raise the proportion
to 50 per cent. in Mr.. Hoover's
opinion. Surerpower means also bet
ter utiliBation of the water power OF
rivers and of the secondary power of
floods, now all but wasted and often
destructive. Again, superpower tends
to decentralize Industry, and thus
contributes to the solution of certain
difficult problems, such as urban con-
gestion and excessive costs of distri-
button. Indeed. in the opinion of
many sociologists abreast of applied
science, superpower is bound to re5
suit in beneficent social revolution
in the sense of restoring comfort and
beauty in regions now ugly, crowded
and covered with soot.-Chicago

the craft had been cut down below the
water line.
This is probably not an uncommon
condition, especially on the coastwtse
craft in this country. The crews, and
especially the steward service on
these boats, are constantly changing.
During the Summer season many
mere "landlubbers' take service on
them. 1t is doubtful whether 10 per
cent Of the men on board these ships
have any knowledge whatever OF the
process Of launching lifeboats. They
are probably put through perfume
tory drill or two at the beginning of
a season and that is all.
The possibility of wreck is always
present when a ship puts out to sea.
1t is imperative that all the life-saving
facilities should be at maximum ef-
ficiency. II lifeboats are unplugged. or
If the davits are stuck, or the ropes
are twisted, or the blocks are choked,
or IL the men assigned to handle them
are incompetent to hoist, swing and
over them SO that they will reach the
water safely, they are yalueless.
Dependence is put upon a slender
chance of mishap. Reliance is had
upon the low percentage of casualties
at sea. Life preservers are regarded
as sufficient If they match up in num-
bers with the passenger capacity. and
yet probably, even though inspection

lost, many Of them as result Of the
worthlessness Of the life preservers,
which were composed Of little better
than cork dust cased in rotten canvas.

less than two hours should not be per-
