What Is Good Luck?
What is good fortune, anyway?

-- What is good fortune, anyway?
When you stop to consider you'll agree that 1t
all depends on circumstances.
An Arkansas man, fleeing the food, reached
Kansas City the other day with every bit of prop
erty he owned in two little pasteboard boxes. He
had lost his home, his stock, everything-he was
fiat broke and the savings of lifetime were gone.
But he announced, 81 am lucky" Why? Be-.
he had escaped with his life The other
losses seemed small to him. He was living and
that enough.
It's all matter of cumstances-good fortune

Design or Accident

Whether by design or accident the
raid is sure to have a profound bear.
ing on British politics.
1t will either prove that there is a
definite connection between the Brit.
ish labor movement and Soviet Rus
STA, or that the conservatives have
nisled the country.
If the police have failed to I'm.
earth documentary proof of colIuslon
between Bolshevism and British
laborites they have wrecked the con-
servative government.
Nor will it be enough for them
to show that Russian represent
atives were spreading propaganda,
or that some radical laborites had
fallen in line with communist ideas.

Important, If True

The Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohib
ton and Public Morals, like almost all -upand
coming organizations nowadays has a research
department
Research as we understand it, is dispassonate
pursuit of facts. 1t has nothing to do with opin-
ions about what ought to be. It's concerned entire
ly with what is
With that idea Of research in mind we have a
little job in which we would like to interest the
research department of the Methodist Temperance
Board.
In one of it's widely circulated pamphlets "The
Facts About Prohibition" the Temperance Boards
research department Wakes the following statement:
"The proposition to bring back beer and wine
would restore ninety-two per cent of the liquor
trade 1t is reasonable to believe that the restora
ton of sucn a wasteful and harmful trade would
destroy n,nety-two per cent of prosperity, and
in few years set us back where we before
1920"
We would like to have the Methodist Temper
ance Board researchers prove by an impartial study
Of facts that that statement is true.
We're not interested for the moment in whether
sYonibtion is a good bad thing for the country.
We're simply interested in and amazed by the state
Of beer and wine would destroy ninetytwo per cent
our prosperity.
If it can be proved by facts it's quite argu-
ment in favor OF prohibition.
If it can't we want the Research Department of
the Methodist Temperance Board to change its
name to the Debating Department something like
that, and give some of the honest-to-goodnes re-
searchers chance.

Law and Justice

man hired lawyer to help him get a divorce
from his wife, The lawyer reported to his client that
arrangements had been completed to obtain the
"vorce. few months later the married another
woman, and was hailed into court on the charge of
bigamy He proved to the satisfaction of a Jury that
he had good reason to believe that he had obtained
dNorce from bis first wife. On that account he asked
to have the charge of bgamy dismissed
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The court of Kings Bench
IN England held that he guilty of bgamy, and
said that it was no defense that he believed in good
faith and on reasonable grounds that he had divorce
from his first wife.

What's the Constitution?

Plain language is used by Attorney General Gil
lion in his effort to get the Supreme Court to take
another look at the legislative SALARY grab"
He is credulous enough to believe that the con-
stitution still something.
He is courageous enough to tell the Supreme
Court Judges or three of those judges that they
have been mistaken when they approved the Leg
isatures action in raising the salaries of its mem
bers from Sc to $40 day.
The constitution, thinks Mr.. Gilliom, endeav-
ored to prevent greedy officials charged with the
spending of the peoples money from taking for
themselves.
The people have had a similar idea of the con-
stitution but the majority of the Supreme Court
thus far has thought differently. They have been
unable to see that there should be the limitation
which those who wrote the constitution thought
they were placing on the power of legislators.
AS Mr.. Gilliom points out, if it is possible
through suberfuge to take out ten dollars day, it
is perfectly possible for other legislators to take
out 500 day more If they saw lit.
The argument of Mr.. Gom is even more i'm
portant in the fact that it levels by inference the
charge that the Supreme Court of this State and
the legislature have thrown away the constitution
It calls attention to the fact that the Legsla
ture has disregarded the constitutional clause which
declares that no bills shall be sent to the governor
within two days next previous to the adjournment of
the General Assembly.
His argument suggests that he believes that the
Supreme Court several years ago wrong when
it sustained law which had been received within
that period.
In this matter he hits at practice that is even
more vicious than the act of brgandage practiced by
the Legislature when the members took more money
than they expected to receive when they were
elected
1t was in disregard of this part of the consttu-
ton that the local political machine put through
its measure which tries to keep Mayor Duval in
office if the people exercise their right to
replace him with city manager.
That bill, which is now printed as a law,
enacted in manner which is expressly forbidden
by the constitution. 1t could only have been enacted
at such time. 1t was of the clubs by which
legislative leaders threatened timid members from
the country.
Nearly hundred of the other measures which
will soon become law if the Supreme Court holds
to it's precedents, passed in similar disre
gard for the constitution.
Those who are guileess enough to believe that
the constitution ought to be preserved final pro-
lection of liberty and final defense against greed
may be astounded to learn that this argument of
Mr. Gilliom, coldly logical and to the lay mind I'M
answerable suggests that the Supreme Court and
have thrown it aside.
If these officials find nothing compelling in
it's language the people may be excused if they fail
to anything very sacred in any constitution and
especially in the Eighteenth Amendment.

In Time of Nero

In the time of Nero, Rome was
supposed to have had a population
of about 100000. and no doubt
there were experts TO delight its
Chambers of Commerce and Rotary
Club with predictions that it would
have ten times that population in
200 or 800 years.
At present Rome is not one-fifth
the size that it was 1000 years ago
and there is nothing but sand and
brush where Babylon once reigned
as the metropolis of the ancient
world.

Amazing Growth

The last century has been one OF
amazing growth and prosperity for
America. This country grew from
a population of less than -O,OO0,OOO
in 1920 to more than 100, 100000 in
1920.
The most amazing feature Of this
growth was the rapid increase OF
the number and size of its cities.
New York contains forty times as
many people as it did in 1920, and
Chicago contains 5000 times as
many as it did in 1880.
1t is absurd to suppose that this
nation or its cities will continue to
grow as fast during the next 100
years as they have grown during the
last or that they ought to If such
a thing were possible.

TRACY
" Says:
What Should Be Done
About the Mod

by NJ. II. Tracy
The raid IN Pussiap trada aoapoias

The raid on Russian trade agencies
in London is shrouded in mystery.
Admittedly authorized by Joyn-
son-Hicks, the home secretary, it re-
mains to be acknowledged as a gov
eminent move.
1t is hard to believe that Scotland
Yard would have staged such a
spectacular performance without be-
ing pretty sure that discriminating
evidence was to be found.
1t is equally hard to believe that
the government would take so long
to give out such evidence il it were
found.

Sccording to Street Commission
err George Woodward your request 4
will be complied with soon.
To w. J. r.: Your request that
F'orty-Fourth, Duke and Forty.Fifth
Sts., which run up to the Nickel
Plate tracks, be graded was referred
to the street commissioner without
any promise of relief. Mr.. Fixit was
informed that it will be some time
before the city can make the sug-
gested repair.
Truly Nolen, garbage collection
superintendent, had promised to
give relief to Mrs. w. p, w.
Thirty-Fourth ST., who reports she
has not been getting service from
the garbage collectors. With good
weather here the collectors should
be able to get through your alley

@. II person in the United
States wishes to copyright book
I'm Europe does he have to obtain u
separate copyright for each country?
A. Most European countries are
included in a copyright union, so
that books are protected in all by a
single copyright in this country. But
the scandinavian countries do not
belong to the Union, hence separate
copyrights are taken out to protect
the author or publisher in those
countries.
