MORE FEDERAL OFFICERS

Announcement of increase in the number of
agents to be employe in enforcing the prohibition
laws of the nation made after an anniversary cele-
oration by its believers, is hardly reassuring
1t might be presumed that after the several years
OF trial after the inevitable reduction of all stocks
in private cellars that has come, there would be
lesseniDg Of violations instead OF an increase.
The adding Of more Federal officers to the public
pay roll for the purpose OF running down violators
of this particular law can only mean that more and
more officers needed to enforce that law.
People believed that each year would see the
violation of this law decrease There has been time
for the power of example to sound its warning.
There has been time the topper to become used to
abstinence. There has been time for appetites to
lose their keen edge.
One of the great arguments for nation wide
prohibition, based wholly upon speculation, was that
this law would reduce all crime.
Many Of us believed in all sincerity that within
decade iails and poorhouses would be turned into
kinder institutions and that society would then be-
gin its warfare upon other enemies such as sickness
and injustice
Instead there is constant call for more police
men, detectives for these Federal agents of
the prohibition department are policemen and detec-
tiyes given the special duty of guarding the people
against the bootlegger and themselves against their
own appetiteS.
Instead of accomplishing the expected result,
drinking has become prevalent and the Illicit
traffic better organized

A FITTING MEMORIAL

Students at the University of Indiana propose to
raise a memorial to Don Meett, courageous editor
who murdered because he dared to expose evil in
the city in which he lived.
All over the land newspapers will be asked to
contribute to building which will bear his name
and that building will be used for the school of
journalism.
No more fitting tribute could be given to this
former Indiana student than that his name should
be constant reminder to those who enter his own
profession that newspaper making demands hon
esty, courage, bravery.
Such building, too, might well inspire those
who in the years to prepare themselves for
this profession, to higher ideals of their duty
to the people they serve
Such building would be rebuke to the tmid,
the greedy the complacent editor who accepts
things they and dares not raise his voice in
protest when evil, in any form, menaces the public
good.
At time in the history of this country is
there is greater demand for these qualities of char
acter or that of duty which led Mellett on in
his crusades, ready to die for his own principles
ready to defy the enemies of the people.
There is need for that courage in fighting evils
hat hidden. There is need for honesty in dar-
ing to expose dishonesty in high places. There is
need for strong a Of public duty that no
community will accept evils in ignorance or suffer
through the betrayal of their interests by those who
assume the duty of insructng them.
Mellett building at the university which gave
him his training will do more than honor the mem.

future and promise.

Barren Wastes Treasure

Two biologists have discovered a
petrified forest in the Big Bend"
country of Texas.
They claim it is the most magni-
ficent of its kind yet brought to light.
There are standing tree trunks
from 100 to $50 feet high which look
like great monoliths and there are
fallen tree trunks of enormous size,
one of them measuring S96 feet in
length.
The "Big Bend" country is
formed by a great curve of the Rio
Grande, which flows through a can
yon 1000 feet deep. 1t is a stark
and barren waste, with gray, dusty
mountains and gouged out valleys
that are too sterile for decent anf-
mails.
Here the rattlesnakes, centipede,
scorpion and vinagarone rule as
lords of all they survey, daunting
man and beast alike.
Few white men have penetrated
the region, though 1t has long been
known to contain rich mineral de-
posits and interesting evidence of
ancient life.

BoISheyiSt Russia Great
est Fact of the
Year.
BY NJ. T.. Tracy

A blizzard in sweeping Russia,
with the temperature at so below
zero and 100 frozen to death.
Ones fancy clings to the brief re-
port because so little comes to us
from the land of the red regime.
Occasionally some name drifts
across the void, or the tale Of some
iurid transaction about to be com
pleted.
Trotsky out, Zinoviev replaced, the
golden toys Of Nicholas on display,
the crown jewels up for sale-by
such sketchy phrases must we guess
the life and progress of a mighty
revolution.
TO most people Russia means
little, while the word bolshevism is
an anathema, yet the great expert
ment her condition represents is the
greatest fact of the year.
Here, at least, is something new,
something different, no matter how
terrible, and here one more novel
idea is being winnowed through the
sufferings of humanity.
We hate it, and shut our eyes
as though that were sufficient.
SO Europe hated us and our re-
p1blicanism a century and a half
ago, and so Spain hated the rebel
lion of South and Central America.
Humanitys will to tinker with the
unknown is irrepressible. 1t makes

Secretary Kellogg's plan to cede
Tacna-Arica to Bolivia.
Bolivia is for It, as any one might
have foreseen.
The plan was good enough from
our standpoint, but our standpoint
included little more than the desire
to get out Of bad scrape.
Chile and Peru have been quar-
reling over Tachna-Arica for the last
forty years, If Tacna-Arica is valu-
able enough for that, who could eX-
pect them to give it TO a third coun-
try for the sake of peace?

F farmers the Losers

Cotton has slumped worse than
grain, yet the South is apparently
not as hard hit as the Middle West.
At all events. you don't hear so
much about hard times in the South
and there haven't been so many
bank failures.
This has been a puzzle to me, and
L have taken some pains to get an
explanation from men who ought to
know.
The harvesting and handling of
cotton, it seems, represents a far
greater percentage of the cost than
is true Of grain.
Whether the crop is large or
small, pickers receive about the
same price and there are hundreds
of thousands of them.
Whether the crop is large or
small. cotton presses, brokers and
warehouse men receive about the
same price.
In cotton it is the farmer who
loses, while the others get theirs no
matter how the market goes.
Somewhere in the background of
the picture, a million or so farmers
have been terribly hurt Probably
more than half of them are tenants.
Meanwhile the wages of pickers
and the charges of middlemen go
merrily on. They have made more
out of the big crop than they would
have out of a little one, because
there was more cotton to handle, and
they handle it by the pound

Dan Moody Rules

Dan Moody, the new Governor of
Texas, is only 33. He became ia
nous over night by being the first
district attorney to convict klansmen
of a whipping outrage. That made
him attorney general of the State
two years ago.
He had been in Office a very short
time when he found it necessary to
break with the Fergusons because of
the manner in which highway con-
tracts were being let.
He forced the cancellation of sew
eral contracts and the refund Of
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That made him the logical anti
