the Federal court in the case of
Erwin c. Ruth, known to Boston
Federal officials as DIR" Ruth, ar

Mann white Slave" act and the
Harrison Narcotic Drug act.
For years Ruth was connected
with the Boston Internal Revenue
ONCE as director of enforcement of
the Harrison act. The charges
alleged cmfwyp cmfwyp etaoin shrd
against him are sensational. 1t is
alleged he is fugitive from Justice
IN Washington for violation of the
Mann act. and that he is wanted in
Kansas City for violation of both
the Mann and the Harrison acts.
one of the complaints for viola
ton of the Mann act was brought
oy the father of Miss May Cookson
OF Needham, who was a member of
Ruth.s enforcement staff. An ex-
ceedlngly pretty girl, she succeeded
IN disgusting herself as a member
or the underworld in order to To-
cate and bring about the arrest of
drug law violators.
The action aainst Ruth was taken
by William Allen, in charge of the

Rev. DR.. Parkhurst
Comes Out Against
The Prohibition Law

New York, April 10.-(AP)-Oppo-
sition to the present prohibition law
was expressed today by the Rev. DR.
Charles H. Parkhurst, aged pastor
emeritus Of the First Presbyterian
church famed a generation ago as q
crusader against vice.
My objection extends to the point
that the law interferes with rights
which are personal to the Individual"
ne said in statement to the Sun.
THE temperate use of spirits or
liquor of any kind is an individual
right justified by individual con-
science, by old time usage, by the
Bible. The mistake made by those
responsible for the prohibition law
has been an undertaking to do too
much at the start.
There are prohibitions which are
justified. They are excuses to which
liquor drinkers go which are es-
sentially criminal. II the law had
wiped out those excuses it would
have had the support of ALL"
las the present situation Is, he
concluded, ''the better classes of the
people are against the law and If
proper enforcement of the law
should be brought about there will
be constant evaporation and the
people will be left in crumpled, I'M
satisfactory state of mind"

Millan's famous Arctic vessel, and
pronounced the last word in ships
Of it's type, slid from the ways OF
the Charles A. Morse yards and into

was performed by Mrs. Rowe b.
Metcalf, wife Of the owner.
Before the Sachem could be taken
from its shed, one end of the shed
had to be torn down. Down the
same ways which have launched
scores of old clippers, this newest
type of sailing vessel slid gracefully.
The Sachem, designed by John G..
Alden of Boston, who was represent

said to be speedier and more dur
able boat than the Bowdoin, and
contains many improvements. 1t is

ships have a 20-foot spread, but
the Sachem has a bowsprit. The
Sachem carries Is tons ballast, con-
sisting of iron bars imbedded in
cement. The Bowdoin's ballast Is all

The Sachem is owned by Rowe b.

Former Canadian
Officials See Evil
In Prohibition Law

Washington, April 10 (AP) - A
weeks drive against the Volstead act
before Senate committee was
wound up today by the vets with the
testimony of former Canadian off,
Gals. as to improved conditions in
provinces which have turned away
from prohibition, and with further
demands of labor leaders for legal
lied beer.
Although the vets still have II
hours of actual hearing time remain
ing in which to complete their case
they consented to give way Monday
to the drys, who desire to put on the
stand a number of women in attend
ance at the women's national law en-
forcement conference which opens
mere tomorrow.
The vets will resume their presen-
tation Tuesday and when they are
through, probably the last part of the
. week, the drys will reply to the bar
rage their opponents have laid down.
Although lacking much of the
spectacular which has accompanied
attacks on the Volstead act during
the week, the testimony of the Ca
nadians regarding the operation of
laws for government control of liq-

Quebec and Manitoba challenged the
close attention of the committee.
Sir William Stavert of Montreal, a
former member of the Quebec liquor
commission. declared that province
had "banished the bootlegger" by re-
turning to restricted license and had
increased temperance.
Describing conditions in Manitoba
since prohibition was voted out,
Francis William Russell. president of
the Moderation League of that prov
ince, said there was an increasing
purchase of beer and wine and, a
falling off in hard liquor consump-
ton, and that conditions as to tenn
perance had improved.
Asserting that there never had
been such a crime wave as that ex-
perienced during prohibition, Mr..
Russell said Manitoba Is rid of that

A SUGGESTION

II Will De reCdlleQ tndt PrOr. i.
a. Davis Of the Connecticut Agri-
cultural College, in attendance on the
exercises Of Farmers Week at Orono
made the novel suggestion that the
only solution Of the conditions in
the farm homes would be for the
manageable women to refuse tc
marry farmers unless and until they
are assured that living conditions
on the farm will be every whit as
good as living conditions in good
middle class city homes.
But perhaps they might want other
facilities such as have the dwellers
in the city homes, daylight saving, a
boulevard and car to match, the film
theatre with the best productions
accessible around the corner. Per-
haps. also. the farmers might con-
clude the girls too fussy and Eighty
40 make good helpmates and decide
TO do without or look outside the
home environment.
We wonder whether the learned
gentleman's suggestion is not likely
to be productive of more harm than
good, though possibly not much of
either. On the one hand the pro-
gressive farmer nowadays has facili-
ties for making comfortable home
at comparatively small expense, yet
not without cost-and the farmer
usually feels the urge Of prudence.
Doubtless in many instances he needs
to be stimulated to provide comforts
for the home, but tact Is needed for
successfully applying the stimulus.
and Prof. Davis seems somewhat
lacking in this respect.
As a matter OF fact an electric
washing machine will not make a
home for a girl that hasn't a knack
for home making; there may be toe
few Of these home makers notwith-
standing an over-supply Of girls,
though not, we assume, OF those who
wish to live upon a farm.
In the majority of instances doesn't
1t already lie within the power of
the woman to get what she requires
In the home, to impress her mate
with the need for those facilities and
TO help him secure them? This
home.making is in q degree Joint
affair. Cooperation is likely to ac-
complish more than compulsion.
Encourage the former in place of the
latter.

NEWS AND COMPREHENSION

The Pan American Congress Of
Journalists was impressed by the
need Of an American-North and
South-agency that would be de-
pendable and universal In spirit as
well as in name, that would collect
and disseminate among the peoples
or the Western Hemisphere news In
unprejudiced form
This Is great need. There have
been at times revelations of wide
spread lack of such trustworthy in
formation among the peoples Of
North and South America. There
have been grave Observation-Disclosures.
which might be obviated by means of
press facilities for contributing to
clearer comprehension of the at
titude Of the respective peoples.
Through such medium we would
learn that the peoples of the Latin
American countries have made Won
derful progress, are at heart good
neighbors as well as powerful. So
they could clear their minds of any
apprehension about the people of
the United States wishing for ag-
gression toward any country. SO.
might be found medium to counter
act influences that would excite
prejudices.
1t Is not probable, nor does 1,
seem advisable were 1t possible, for
North America altogether to replace
the relations built up between South
American countries and the Europ-
can peoples during generations OF
trade relations. It is essential. how
ever. that the relations between the
two continents Of this hemisphere
shall bs characterized by better
understanding.
