Government by Bootleggers

A. 1.s+ we have government by bootleggers in
,his state Such is the amazing charge made by
prosecutor of one of the southern counties who ap
meals for Federal aid to enable him to even make
an arrest.
The bootleg ring, so he tells the Government
is so we'll intrenched that officers of the law are
afraid to make arrest
M And back of the desperateness of the bootleggers
is a public sentiment which he dominates as lib
eral' which upholds the bootleggers as against the
regularly elected officials.
He asserts that public sentiment is such as to
make a conviction in his county impossible on any
charge of liquor violation and that because of this
sentiment the bootleggers able to challenge or
ganized authority and to threaten any who dares
to interfere
i The situation is not unexpected. 1t is the log
cal situation.
tg 1t is what will always happen in, this country
when law does not express public sentiment.
~ The people of that county, or apparently very
large number of the do not look upon selling liquor
as crime They resent, most naturally II they hold
such view, any interference with what they look
upon as desirable service to their community
They very naturally refuse to convict them of Of
lenses which they do not consider crime.
The situation in that county is the logical result
of the hypocrisy of officials and especially of legis
lators.
The citizen who knows that the very laws which
are made for him are generally violated by the men
who make and enforce laws is not likely to have any
deep respect for the written law He is quite likely
to defend the violator rather than the law.
K, Some day the laws prohibition and other
questions will really put into words the sentiments
of the majority. When that is done there will be
no regns of terrorism by special classes of voators
F OF course the logical result of this particular
appeal should be the sending Of troops to this
county if necessary to enforce the law and put an
end to crime. If that done often and in enough
communities, the Legislature might try to discover
the real wishes Of the people and then make the law
At that sentiment.

A Real Engineering Feat

Because the opinion is expressed by man OF
great wealth, and because it is expressed before
audience Of political economists there is inter-
est in the statement of John Hays Hammond that
the engineers and experts of the world WILL sooner
later have to direct their intelligence the so
tion of our social and economic problems.
He talking of the problems which usu-
ally discussed by the soap box orator; problems of
poverty, unemployment, low wages, strikes, lock-
outs, under-nourished school children, sums and the
excessive concentration of wealth.
Stuart Chase has viewed the waste of our bust
pess system from the standpoint OF the engineer and
expert and fills book with perfectly good examples
of perfectly bad waste.
Everybody knows that there is enough of every
thing to go around, but there is something wrong
about the division and distribution Fifteen per cent
Of the people own some 60 per cent of all the
things that are owned. Mr. Hammond admits that
this is not entirely it should be. He Is probably
not willing to go along with the socialists or single
takers communists and admit that their remedy
is the right But he agrees with them that there
is something to be remedied Which the average
millionaire does not admit.
Mr.. Hammond says he would like to see bust
ness and industry just scientifically standardized
weights and measure Which would mean,
of course that shoddy would not be sold for wool
that mot even tariff protected industry would be
able to make extortionate profits that the wage
would be measured according to the service rem
dered, that all workers would have right to their
jobs, and that there would always be labor for any
man woman willing and able to work. And there
would be food and shelter for those able to work
Some job, Mr.. John Hays Hammond Bring on
your engineers! You have engineered diamond
mines and other big money getting enterprises
Let's your blue prints and estimates on this job

Scarcely able to walk, Stuart
visited his former home early to-
day to collect cherished keepsakes
and an overcoat of which he was
proud. Several hours search for
the coat was in vain.
To See Wife

went to the hospital to see his
wife.

We Seem Unable to Do
Wh0t Decency Calls for

If the law enforcement officers of
Canton, Ohio, had done their work
as we'll before Don r. Mellett was
murdered as they have since. his life
would not only have been saved, but
the gang that killed him would have
been broken up.
The success with which his STAY

shows what can. be done, but what

The bidding should be: South one

North bids two Spades over

card suit and East could then count
that returning his partners suit
would probably be of benefit to the
Declarer. South desires East to re
turn Diamonds, so he plays the Six
not the Deuce-which will prob
ably induce East to place the Deuce
in Vests hand. and to continue the
suit. thinking that West is longer
than South. It will be noted that If,
at this trick. East should shift to
Hearts, he would save game; but
with the Diamonds continued, the
Declarer would make game without
difficulty.

In the following deal, look at the

what you think he should bid in his
turn; in that way you will decide

Then decide what four cards should

Questions and Answers

coat was bought on Friday and taken
back OH Monday. Can they make
her keep the coat and pay for it, or
will they have to take 1t back if she
leaves it In the box and doesn't wear
1t? Can they take her husbands
wages to pay for it? He didn't sign
any contract.
The opinion of one attorney is
that when you took the coat from
the store you contracted to buy it,
and therefore can be held liable to
pay for it. unless you had an express
agreement that the coat was taken
out on approval. Since you took the
coat back the. store could only col
lect for the amount Of damages it
could prove it suffered as a result of
you having the coat out. You had

ter Business Bureau.

For Her to Support

Six years ago Mr.. Cummings died,
leaving Edna Mae with two small
sons, an invalid mother and herself
to support.
She might have sat Gown and
whined about the cruelty of fate or
she might have looked for another
meal ticket. 1t has been done and
some people say that it represents
about the only hope of women who
find themselves in such circum-
stances.
Instead she took job as telephone
operator which a friend APOLOGIZE
cally offered. and she didn't waste
time worrying about the fact that
$65 a month was a pretty small in
come on which to support four
people.
One day she was given an oppor-
tunity to do some filing for the firm.
She did it so we'll that she won a
promotion.
A little later she had a chance TO
join real estate firm, became sales
manager within few months and
started in business for herself with
in year and a half
Now she is head of a firm in De-
troit which employs some $50 men
and women, and they are thinking
of running her for mayor.
This shows what a woman can do
if she has the right kind of attitude.

With 100000

DR.. Goodwin Rowland of Toronto,
asked some men and women what
they would do if they had $500, 900
and thinks he got enough informa-
ton out of the replies to develop a
sociological theory.
The first thought of men and wom-
en- with a sufficient supply of cash
is to make themselves safe. After
that there is a sharp division be-
tween the sexes as to what they
would do.
Men would buy cars, obtain edu-
cation, travel and marry. Women
would go in for charity. travel, seek
education, buy a home and dress
themselves up.
The learned doctor concludes that
the effect of opulence would be to
discourage matrimony on the part of
women.
The point which makes his finding
worthless is that, while all of us are
ready to guess what we would do
with 100000, very few of us know.
Two hundyed thousand dollars as
the subject for dreams is one thing,
but 100000 in actual cash is quite
another. Human nature does not
work the same when building air
castles as it does when building real
ones.
There are few men and women in
this country who became rich. after
being poor, that used their money
the way they thought they would.
