THE LOGICAL RESULT

Very righteously the Federal Judge for this dis
trict denounces the methods used by prohibition
enforcement agents in the gathering of evidence.
He enters his protest against the gay parties at
which lull the suspicious of the bootleggers
by their presence the setting of traps, the lavish
purchase of evidence" and the apparent avidity
with which much Of it is consumed on the spot
His protest is but echo of the disgust on the
part Of very many citizens who are somewhat ap-
>pa1led by the extremes and innovations brought
about by the attempt to enforce this law.
The Volstead law is an open invitation to every
abuse to which decent men object
The Wright law in this State is still greater
invitation to all these practices Of deception and
trickery and shopping which are Objectionable.
AS matter of fact, it is probably impossible
to enforce the law in any unless the agents of
the law become spies and snoops.
About the only persons who could be caught
otherwise are those who operate stills There would
be no punishment for the vendors, If the evidence
were not obtained by tricks.
From such gentle custom Of getting evidence it
is but small step for the agents to employ objec-
tionable persons as tools and to become the victim
Of the habits they presumed to suppress.
The believers in the VoIsteadism understand
this when they contribute thousands of dollars for
the purpose of buying booze from men they wish to
prosecute
They can not be shocked by this degradation
Of the tools Of some agents when it is exposed.
The protest of the Federal judge but repeats the
natural reaction of the normal American and
woman to such situation.
Most people, who want temperance and who
hoped for it through law. did suspect that these
unsaTory sequences would follow and be practically
the sole result of prohibition
They had expected sobriety and got snoops and
spies
1t may be pessirnistc to predict that no matter
how vigorously judges protest against these prac-
ces, they will continue if there is to be any effort
made to enforce the law.
For the fault is not with the agents, but with
the law itself. which openly invites every vicious
practice condemned in enforcement agents.
It is and has been the cause Of debauchery cor
rupton, bribery blackmafl, and indecency
The real remedy lies in changing the system
rather than in protesting the personal practices of
officials.

We're Patriotic, Too

Why did civic opera fail to pay
again in Chicago last year and why
does it fail to pay most every
where?
Ninety-three performances were
given at an approximate cost Of
of $4,000 each, while the receipts
were only about $4,000, leaving a
deficit for the season Of practically
$400 900.
Does this prove that the people
are inartistic, that prices were too
high. or that a comparatively few
musical enthusiasts are trying to
reincarnate spectacle that has lived
it's day?
Personally, I like grand opera. but
I am not sold on the idea that it is
either an essential or q permanent
form of art.
1t will never appeal to the Amer
lean public, until It embodies more
of the national spirit and tradition.
italian, French and German opera
won a place for itself not through
the excellency of its music, but be-
cause 1t breathed an atmosphere of
patriotism and folklore which the
people understood.
We can import the instruments
and composition, but we cannot i'm
port the atmosphere.

novelty and ends UP as a genuine en-

Herbert and Nicely develop the &c.

lines and he tantalizes a certain
Hawaiian instrument to the point
that the audience screams out for

Issue Blind

A friend takes me to task for
suggesting that Pennsylvania could
clean up their rotten political sit
uation quickest and easiest by elect
ing the Democratic candidate, VIII
liam B. Wilson, Senator.
He says that Wilson Is dry and
that, since 1 favor modification of
the Volstead act, 1t is inconsistent
to recommend his election.
Maybe, but 1 hope never to get
so excited over modification Of the
Volstead act, or any other issue, as
not to realize that crookedness and
corruption are the most deadly
enemies of a Republican form Of
Government.
We have become too issue-minded
In this country for our own good,
too inclined to vote for men, be-
cause Of what they believe with re-
gard to some particular thing, rather
than for what they are.
You can't get clean laws, or clean
enforcement of laws, through un-
clean men.

THE TRAIL OF YOUR DOLLAR

Every home In the country pays tribute for gas,
electricity, water or some form of public utility
Perhaps 1t has not occurred to us that the utilities
themselves also must pay rent.
At present the public utilities of the country
are contributing about 700 million dollars annually
toward general taxation. This is about one-quarter
OF the entire amount paid by all the Incorporated in
dustries Of the country.
The public utility company divides your dollar
into cost OF fuel labor, interes ton securities and
various other items. But the most interesting is
the great tax burden the companies bear pouring
into the public Golfers between $22 $2S every
ond of the day.
Any consideration of municipal or government
ownership should not be without these facts

LOOKING OVER
NEW PALACE EVENTS

What should good little wife do
when her husband calls up from the
Office after the good little wife has
just finished a hard days work and
says that he is bringing the big
Boss home for dinner? Too hard a
question to answer on a summer
day so will tell you where to find
the answer. DArmand and Hunter
with Claude Schell, at the Palace
today and tomorrow take this knotty
little problem and work 1t into a
humorous and slightly dramatic
sketch. Besides the story OF the
sketch which is acted out in a most
pleasing manner by all three we
have several baritone solos by Mr..
Schell that are excellent.
Whirlwind Of Syncopation Is a
well mounted and presented revue
act in which dancing is the feature
part. Two of the women have as
specialties several harmony numbers
which are also done in an enter
tanning way.
Armstrong and Blondell, a man
and woman, with the man at the
piano and the woman singing, offer
several songs of the jazzy type and
some comedy.
Bender and Armstrong are two
men who rely or their comedy pre-.
sensations OF the acrobat and the
mind reader to put them across.
They also do a little dancing for us.
The Herbert and Bolt trio open
the bill with an athletic act.
Bill includes a photoplay, Bride

Hang O. the Cloth

Arthur Leslie Kelley, the British
artist, doesn't think so much of our
fiapper, with her boyish figure, her
straight silhouette and her per
feet twenty-eight."
In an exclusive interview with
the United Press he declares that
she is "only fit for magazine covers. ("
But isn't the fault in the drape,
rather than the figure?
A man can parade in a barrel. or
a dress suit, and~still be the same
man.
So a woman can be CARRIED to look
like herself, or like an old-fashioneti
up-anddown churn.
The flapper isn't so different from
her grandmother. It's the hang of
the cloth that has changed.

WATSON HONORED

Senator Curtis of Kansas, as chairman of the
Senate Rules Committee, yesterday appointed Sena-
tor Watson Of Indiana chairman of subcommittee
to pass Senator La Folette's resolution to pur-
ify senatorial primaries by limiting candidates to the
expenditure of $4,000.
Considering that Watson active defender
of Newberry and that he sneaked Of the chamber
recently to avoid voting Senator Reeds resolution
to investigate senatorial primaries it looks as II
Senator Curtis wanted to laugh himself to death or
to kill the La Toilette resolution in humorous
manner.
