those who knew about it and sym.
pathized with it put the young mans
resolve aside as a piece Of youthful
emotionalism.
Thousands had made such vow
before under equally stressing cir

or become discouraged.
There comes a moment when the
destiny of empires turns on seeming
ly small events.
Nicolai Lenin stepped on the stage
at such moment. Three hundred
years of misrule had prepared a way
for his cry of revolt.

Anglo Russian Break

The United Press says that Eng
land will break with Soviet Russia
This means that the extremists
have gained control of the cabinet
and are about to commit the Con
servative party to a course from
which it's moderate leaders shrink.
So far as England is concerned,
the issue is local rather than inter
national. What the extremists are
attempting is TO discredit the labor
movement.
They authorized the raid on
Soviet house" in London with the
hope of finding some evidence that
would link the movement with the
Russian regime.
From what has occurred since, It
5 logical to infer that they intended
TO break with Russia whether sucn
evidence was found or not.

The complaint to Mr.. FiXit that
work begun on Tibbs Ave. last fall
has been delayed, has been turned
over to County Commission President

the work as fast as possible.
The city has no jurisdiction over

in city limits. The Hayes Construc'

Early last summer Tibbs Ave.
was torn up to be resurfaced. The

1t Is Childish to Discuss

of War.
BY NJ. T.. Tracy

To sum it up, Lindbergh has
given aviation a tremendous boost,
has helped to create better feeling
between France and the United
States and has sent fine example
for boys throughout the world.
1t is childish to discuss his feat
in the light of war.
He may have proved how easy it
would be for enemy planes to cross
the ocean, but that is not what he
started out to prove, and only
twisted minds can visualize it as the
important point.

100 Per Cent Enforcement

Seymour Lowman, newly appointed
prohibition commissioner, says he is
for 100 per cent enforcement, but
does not expect to have every toter
of hip pocket flask arrested.
1t is difficult to reconcile the two
statements.
In what section does the Volstead
act grant immunity to the hip pocket
flask?
Mr.. Lowman also says that he will
not indulge in such sensational eff.
forts as opera bouffe naval wars on
the twelve-mile limit" which is
something else you find hard to
reconcile with the 100 per cent en-.
forcement.
How can rum row" be broken up,
except by opera bouffe wars on the
twelve-mile limit" unless, indeed. the
opera bouffe is brought closer to
shore?
Mr.. Lowman is obviously sincere in
his attitude and is doing his best to
square it with a common sense of
law enforcement.
The trouble is that the kind of
law enforcement which Volsteadism
calls for leaves no room for COM
mon sense.
Opera BOUTS naval wars on the
twelve-mile limit" hip pocket TASKS
and continuous meddling with the
private affairs of millions of peo-
pie are as inevitable part Of it, and
no one can hope to enforce it with
out giving them full consideration.
