BLOCKADE CONTINUED.
Coast Guard Hopes Rum Fleet Will
DiShaud

The Coast Guard dry armada CON
-inued today to hold its bulldog grip
on the rum fleet.
In spite of aggressive tactics of the
rum runners in attempting to un-
dermine morale of the Coast Guard
by threats against the lives Of its
officers, to sink its ships in the night,
and to wreck boats, motors and ma
terial, the "pacific blockade" continued
with persistent determination to
starvation finish"
In fact. yesterday broke a record
for the Coast Guard. according to
preliminary reports to headquarters.
in that every ship in the service was
at sea, either in holding the embat-
tied rum fleet at bay, scouting for
icebergs in the North Atlantic, or
assisting ships in distress in rivers
and bays.
Determination and Rifles.
The underhanded methods of the
rum agents in making depredatlonS
upon the Governments "grayhounds
of the sea" are being met by the old
Coast Guard Service with grim de
termination and loaded rifles.
1t is hoped by officials that the re-
Gently increased bloodshed in the rum
war may be decrea sed by the pacific
blockade" which is intended to bottle
up the rum fleet SO that 1t may not
make any kind of contact with shore
and eventually give up its hight. 1t
was the constant chases and sklr-
mishes between fleeing rum runners
and Government boats, after the liquor
had been unloaded for speedy dashes
to the shore, which have resulted In
much gunfire.

get funds with which to recondition

Controller General McCarl for a rul

available for the prohibition and Gus

Federal Child Labor.

lEX-Ambassado VIM. E. Gonzales Of
South Carolina in The Forum)
The proposed child labor amend
ment should not be ratified A law
with such fantastic age limit
eighteen is unnecessary and would
be harmful 1t is absurd since there
are both men and children of
eighteen.
Much OF the greatness of this
country IS due to the achievements
Of men Of noble manhood, human
sympatbies, high character, and self
reliance, who owed those qualities to
the fact chat they had met life and
served before they we're eighteen.
The age limit. eighteen, is totally
impractical and has no actual rela-
ton to general biological or mental
conditions; a boy or girl OF fifteen
may be fully as mature, mentally and
physically, as another of eighteen.
Another Of fifteen may be mentally
untitled for furthe book learning"
but well qualified and anxious to
learn trade and prepare himself for
useful, productive citizenship. TO
force him from his natural bent, to
f0Tce upon aim years more OF profit
less. hopeless attendance at school,
would be crushing to his spirit and
ambition.
In "eaacation,3 the sphere of life,
as well as individual mental quail
fcations ahd capacity, economic CON
dftions and necessities, must be di-
recting factors Hundreds of thou
sands of youths under eighteen are
now working While attending schools
and colleges. What shall become of
them under this new dispensation Of
power?
How shall the millions of youths OF
both sexes. whose parents cannot sup
port them in idleness until they are
eighteen, conform to this socialistic
law? VIII the next Developing step
be demand for their support by the
national government? 1t should be
as the final blow to sef-respect,
self-cOnfidence, and dependence;
as fatal to the perpetuation of that
hardy, virile american spirit
which, nurtured IN the old way in the
old homes, won the worlds adj
mration and confidence.

GRADE CROSSING MUST GO
Grange Energies Being Modified for
Gpcedy Elimination.

FJt5EttlA
One of the most outspoken recent
declarations of the national grange
was in favor Of the speedy abolition
of railroad grade crossings, with the
early enactment Of compulsory state
laws to this end; with the employ
ment Of watchmen and mechanical
warning signals insisted upon, pend
ing such abolition. National Master
Taber thus forcefully described the
situation
"The frightful loss of life from grade
crossing accidents. has become so seri-
Gus that state and nation must bend
every thought towards eliminating this
waste of human Iifea Should smallpox,
TeUow fever, or some plague claim as
many victims as our grade crossing
accidents, the nation would stand
aghast and demand eradication of the
cause. 1t seems that we are becoming
SO accustomed to loss of life at grade
crossings that it IS expected as a
natural consequence. 1t would from
now on seem wise that federal aid be
Withheld from all highways crossing
railroads at grade. where elimination
is in any way possible"

BEWARE FAKE STOCK.
Five Hundred Million Dollars An
nnallY Thrown AwaY.

nUally Thrown Away.
In a recent article in Printers Ink,
Roy Dickinson points out clearly and
| logically, the terrific economic loss
which retailers throughout the coun-
try are suffering yearly, due to activi
| ties OF fake stock statesmen.
Last year, conservative estimates
show that promoters of worthless en-
| terprises collected over $500, 100000,
and this money was direct loss to
| the retail merchants This money
would represent the purchase prices
| Of 100000 suits of clothes at $50
l. suit, or nearly 100000 tractors at
cost Of 5000 Looking at it from
! this point Of view and realizing that
/ this money was taken from our big
purchasing power classes, the farmer
and the wage Garner, the merchant
| can readily see that this is a problem
which ne must face. If the depreda-
| tions ,of the swindler can be stopped,
| if the 100000 900 which is lost an
nually can be diverted into legitimate
channels, it would be direct benefit
! not only to the merchant but to the
/ public
All organizations Of business men
should take it on themselves TO fight
t1is evil with publicity Many or
enizations throughout the country
have been doing this with success but
the time has now come when 1t
should be done by all
