PROHIBIT IT.

,DEAN HAWKES.. of Columbia college,
II discovers that love causes many
students to funk
Well, sir, the thing to do is TO enact a
law against it. Any student caught with
more than, say, z of 2 per cent of love
in his auto, room, or hip pocket should be
kicked out, if not fined and jailed. There
is no use trying to fill such with the
higher education. OF course, the dis
missed student may take to love Of the
home-brew and he can pick up the bootleg
brand of love on almost any street, but
why waste money and teaching on such.
when students can be had who won't love
and can't be loved2
Let not our colleges hesitate for mo-
ment in handling over-indulgence in
strong love. Expulsion, or limitation to
y of per cent near-love!

LOOKS LIKE A DREAM

LION. GARNER, of Texas, ranking
IL democrat of the house ways and
means committee, has a tax reduction
plan of his own, which, he says, he has
not submitted to his democratic colleagues
but proposes to offer in congress.
He wouldn't cut surtaxes of the rich to
20 per cent, as would Mellon. He wouldn't
retire the war debt in % years, but in 81.
He would relieve millions of small taxpay-
ers of all income taxes, by increasing the
exemption to married folks TO $4,000 and
of unmarried to $500.
Mr.. Garner seems to have happy Wis
ion. The trouble with it is that it is as
hopeless as a rabbit in cage of wildcats.
1t involves dumping income taxation upon
the rich. Under present circumstances,
it cannot be done. Even when Mr.. Car
ner submits his vision to his democratic
colleagues, he viii find powerful lot of
them looking after the interests of the
rich, pretty considerably.

SOMEWHAT TANGLED

A NLN Email AANbhENov IiIltA VI tl'7
VI forcement is said to be discouraged
almost to the point of resiming.
Upon his appointment, General An
drews proclaimed that the only way to en-
force was to select division administra-
tors from men who were free from po-
litical ENHANCEMENT" 1t was really a
fine vision, only in that it pictured men
politically unentangled who would give
up their private business, become heads
of federal police forces and thus become
entangled in political jobs. General An
drews had selected only few unentangled
republicans and many fewer unentangled
democrats, when he found himself holly
reproved by u. S. senator's and congress
men, whose function it is to vote him
$3.50, 000,O or so, with which to wage the
enforcement battle.
General Andrews Is in q delicate, not
to say discouraging situation. Possibly,
he has a loophole in the appointment Of
aides from the long-enduring prohibition
party, or the Anti-Saloon league. That
would be something like wise old Solo
mons escape from his embarrassing sit
uation by deciding to divide the child.
