FITTING TRIBUTE AND PRACTICAL NEED

Everywhere the United States patriotic eiti-
with civic pride have recognized the impractical
and foolish extravaganza of building monuments of
groesque statuary memorials to the soldiers of the
World War People practical-minded today,
and they feel that memorials which fill unitarian
need only appropriate, but should set an
example of service such rendered by the very
soldiers whose tribute they wish to express.
In line with this the proposed Memorial City Hall
for Lambertve is peculiarly fitting. City offices are
all in rented quarters, and relegaed to upstairs floors
With the taking over of the Library as municipal
department another rental expense is added
But the city exceedingly attractive plot OF
ground centrally located which Memorial Build
ing can be erected house all the functions of the
city, and at the time provide lasting memorial
for all time come And not only will it supply both
sentimental and practical service but it will provide
auditorium facilities which sadly needed in Lam
bertve.
Thanks to the careful expenditure of the recent
school appropriation for improvements eeway is pro-
vided whereby the Memorial Building be financed
without adding materially to local taxes. Let hope
we may soon have this building to which point
with pride.

A LEGAL CRIME BREEDER

Wiser than l have pointed out how disrespect
for prohibition has paved the way for violations of
serious crimes, but it has remained for a bandit and
murderer to supply vivid instance of proof.
Richard Whittemore, of bandit gang recently
rounded up by New York police, said the other day,
at WAS WHILE RUNNING LIQUOR ACROSS THE
BORDER AT BUFFALO THAT THE PLOT TO ROB
THE BANK OF BUFFALO WAS HATCHED"
And when this robbery staged, Whittemore shot
and killed two of the bank guards, and the gang got
away with $9300000
Due to public opinion, the gang was successful as
rum They logically argued that as long as
they could violate law with immunity, they might
as well violate another and get rich quick. And so
two human lives snufed out and $93,00000 were
stolen
The prohibition law is legalzed breeder of crime
This is of the proofs of it.

SOUND SENSE

DR.. John Richleson, pastor Of the
Kenmore Presbyterian Church, Buff
falo, proposes a Twentieth amend
ment as solution to the prohibit
ton problem, the amendment to pro-
vide for a national referendum, as
the need might arise, on any amend
ment or other portion of the Con-
stitution. Speaking as an avowed
dry, DR.. Richelson asserted that he
was not afraid of the vote of the
people, but "if the vote of the ma
jority is against the dry position,
what right have we to insist on dry
laws?" That's the point exactly, and
it is sound sense. The tyranny and
insolence of minority rule are abb
solutely out of place under our form
of government.

PROTECT GIRLS FROM ATTACK

If violently insane persons who
show signs of improvement are to
be paroled, as was the youthful at
tacker of two girls at Perkasie, those
responsible for them should be re
ouired to restrain them from roam
ing at large over the countryside
with the possibility ever present that
they will do harm to others. 1t is
impossible not to sympathize with
the unfortunate young man, but far
more concern is due society to pre-
vent further tragedies.
