prohibition then, or why expect
prohibition to cure it?
Can Mr.. Asker prove that the in
crease of taxes is due to prohi-
bition? A statement without proof
is useless except to his type of
reasoning.

merous! I can remember the days
before prohibition when I would see
more drunkards in one week than I
now see in year. No, prohibition
hasn't helped. But why go on pre-

let Mr. Asker think about it from
this angle if he can. No matter
how many lives are lost directly
by prohibition administered under
Shumaker's law, prohibition has so
changed the conditions in our coun-
try that a multitude more lives are
saved indirectly. A bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush, so why
give up the many lives saved indi-
rectly by prohibition to save one or
two directly-eSpecially when the
one or two are apt TO die anyhow?

% WASHINGTON VASE hSes.Roe Sept. 2.-The
Baltimore Sun yesterday published
an editorial which follows in full:
Those Who have followed develop
ments in Indiana since D. G. Steph-
enson, the Imprisoned ex-boss of the
Khan, has been causing revelation
of some of the inner secrets of the
states politics in late years, will note
the release from the Atlanta peni-
Tertiary of Warren T. McCray with
interest that would have been i'm
possible year ago.
Lately one of the leading Indian
apolis papers (The Indianapolis
Tines, which has been digging
deeply into suspicious spots, sug-
gested from time to time in the de-
velopment of the Stephenson affair,
printed a very extraordinary story.
Great Moral Hero
It said that when McCray was
Governor of Indiana, and at the
time his financial troubles were at
their height and disgrace threatened
him, he was offered money and i'm
munity from prosecution to appoint
as prosecuting attorney in Indian
apolis lawyer desired by the Khan
powers that ruled the state.
Presumably, the purpose was to
protect Stephenson, later convicted
of murder, in that he had caused
the suicide of young woman by a
peculiarly atrocious attack on her.
McCray, according to the article
in the Indianapolis paper, rejected
this. offer. If this is true, if it is
true that this man on the verge of
disgrace and imprisonment for, en-
bezzlement refused to debase his Of
flee and violate his oath and his
obligation to the people of Indiana
to save himself, then, convict as he
was, he is one of the moral heroes
Of our day.
Chance for Victor Hugo
We do not know whether the story
is true: it was printed in sound
newspaper. But we hope in some
way the facts can be established be-
yond dispute.
And if they favor McC1ay, then
we hope that somewhere in the
land will emerge a Victor Hugo to
do justice to the extraordinary en-
bodiment of high and low IN human
character. II

RATES SLASHED
ON LEvIATHAN
Reduction Forced by Cuts on
Other Lines.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Following
the example of the French Cunard
and White Star steamship lines, the
United States Lines announces that
the rates for suite and rooms with
private baths on the Leviathan will
be reduced from 5 to 10 per cent.
Owen Smith, first cabin passenger
traffic manager, said that the adj
vent of the new French liner lie de
France had been given as the rea-
son for the Cunard Line rate reduc-
ton nearly three weeks ago and that
it's example had been followed later
by the White Star.
"Of course, we had to make cuts
to meet thena," said Smith. "They
have reduced rates Is to 20 per cent
and ours will only be from to 10
per cent, according to the accom-
mediation"
Smith said he thought there was
no likelihood of a rate war, as that
would mean cutting the minimum
fares which would be disastrous for
all the steamship lines.

WEEK SHORTER;
PAY is HIGHER
Abolition of 12-Hour Day
Aid to Steel Workers.
Bv Tim es Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Aboli-
ton of the twelve-hour day in the
iron and steel industry has resulted
in greatly shortened working week
for employees.
It has hurt the earnings not at
all. Average weekly earnings now
are considerably higher than in
1922, when the twelve-hour day was
standard.
These conclusions are drawn from
detailed study of the wages and
hours of steel and iron workers,
made public by the Department of
Labor.
The survey covers $4,000 of the
industry's 100000 workers, was made
II. 200 plants in thirteen States, and
covers ten of the major iron and
steel-making processes, the depart
ment said.
The average worker in steel or
iron mills now works only 81 hours
a week as against Sc in 1913. But
he makes more than twice as much
an hour-about 81 cents as against
30-and his average weekly pay is
$34.41, as against 1889.

WEST BRINGS CHANGE
BY PAUL R. MALLON
United Press star Correspondent

RAPID CITY, S. D., Sept. 2.-No
longer may President Coolidge le-
ultimately be known as silent Cal"
For the first time in his life he is
making extemporaneous speeches,
patting babies on the cheeks, snail-
ing at loving mothers and doing
just about all the other things that
regular" politicians do.
He seems to have absorbed some
of that spirit of friendliness which
goes with the hearty handsEake in
the West,
Yesterday at Newell and Nisland,
while visiting the Governments ir-
rigation project and the Farmers
County Fair, he made two speeches.
He's Fixed for Life
In the second speech he said hui
morously that he had received
enough land, livestock and clothing
out here to come out and settle
down as a South Dakota farmer
when his term as President expires.
Only a week before he made his
first platform speech from his spe-
cial train, and it was announced
today that next Friday he will make
another speech at the dedication of
the Lincoln Library of the South
Dakota Agricultural College at
Bookings on his way back to Wash
ington.
This noticeable change in Mr..
Coolidge's public demeanor has
come about following criticism in
the newspapers and on the streets
of western country towns that the
President did not seem to appre-
ciate hospitality of the citizenry,
because he never acknowledged their
greetings.
Farmers Are Pleased
The crowds of farmers at Newell
and Nisland were greatly pleased at
his two short speeches, which did
little more than thank them for
their welcome.
But his average number of
speeches in eleven weeks in the
West is now higher than in year
at Washington.
Also Mr.. Coolidge is going to re-
quire some tedious labor to get his
western presents back home. Yes
terday he receivd two prize sheep.
These will have to mingle in the
White House ZOO with the donkey
Nebuccadnezzer, chow dog, two
ponies, a raccoon and new collie.
He already had a bear, kangaroo
and two lion cubs.
In addition ne has received sever
al pairs of chaps, saddles, riding
boots, spurs, fishing rods, gold mug
gets, American flags, blankets, full
cowboy regalia, Indian tomahawks,
moccasins and headress and many
other things.
Presents for Wife
Everywhere Mrs. Coolidge has gone
she has been presented with blank
cts, shawls, doilies and things for
the house, which she has stored in
one room at the temporary White
House. Even young John Coolidge
has received some gold cuff links.
When the special train pulls out
of the summer capital a week from
tonight, it will carry more than it
did coming out. Mr.. Coolidge plans
to spend the intervening time quiet
ly and has made no engagements
which thus far have been an
nounced.
