the Volstead enactment, it is difficult 10

never was such a law. There isn't nook

few nook and crannies in foreign coun-
tries, that is not saturated with knowl-
edge of this prohibtory ordinance In
this country the law is either observed or
violated-it isn't respected as il should be-
In foreign countries it is neither respected
nor observed. Advertising isn't likely to
change that condition.
What the law needs is enforcement. IL

root Of the evils 1t was designed to eradi-
cate. 1t has dabbled on the surface and
furnished Roy Haynes with excuses for
giving tongue, but it hasn't prevented the

stupendous and damnable illicit business

- SCIENCE
SPIRITS

lTNHE EARL of Dunlaven has pub.
l. lished n book about the expert.
cnces of u. ID. Home. the most
famous spiritualistic medium of
modern days. An introduction to
the work is written by Sir Oliver
Lodge, also spiritualist.
This book tells of what happened
lat rs seanccs. Altho the book has
just been published. the seances
took place In 1857 Among the
strange feats attributed to Home
was that of having his body carried
by invisible forces out of q third
story window and into another win.
dow. a score or more of persons
claimed TO have witnessed this.
Stories OF spectacular feats OF this
kind were rather common I'm the
late sixties and early seventies. II
Is probable that the civil war was
responsible for this growth of belief
in "materialization" and other sup.
posed psychic phenomena. II was
also n great period for ouija and
planchette boards, thru which people
were supposed TO converse with the
departed. q
The strange part of the earl OF
Dunraven's book Is that ordinary
mediumistic feats that are now
known to be either self.deception or
trickery are taken seriously.

A Good Choice

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE certainly
L started the new year off right when
he selected Attorney General Harlan F.
Stone TO succeed Associate Justice Joseph
MeKenna, who retires after q years on
the United States supreme court bench.
Both by his public record and by his
legal experience, is Mr. Stone qualified for
his new. big Job. A robust, vigorous man
in the prime of life, his presence will add
life and wholesome atmosphere TO the
highest court in the land.
Mr.. Stone was a college friend of the
president. He joined the faculty Of the
Columbia university law school in 1908
and for II years was dean of that school
This experience has particularly fitted him
to view the law in the abstract. as an insti-
tuition, to see legal questions free of previ-
Gus prejudice.
His record during the short time since
he took over the reigns of the department
OF justice for the purpose of cleaning up
the tangled web left by the Daugherty
regime has been one which has excited
the admiration even of the traditional
critics of that department.
His promotion is a reward well earned
The president deserves much credit for
bringing Stone into the government serv-
ice, and for promoting him to the supreme
court.

The Judge asked where the men found
employment after leaving the government

That was an unusual decision on the
part of merciful Judge. Judge Wins
lows action will serve a useful function
IN more ways than one. II put the Situa-
ton of the underpaid postal employees in
newspapers all over the land. II stirred
up feeling of shame on the part Of the
public that its own employees were so mis-
erably paid.
His action may serve in less useful
way. if other postal employees, in service
where honesty is positively essential, are
tempted to do what their fellows did for
the sake of ekeing out liyingS for their
families. Judge Winslow's leniency may
serve the public badly in this respect.
But in this case, too, the responsibility
comes back to the public and the govern

about.
