WHY NOT TACKLE REAL ISSUE .

Has the United States gone
crime crazy? Our motion pic.

the underworld as the basis for
plots in the most popular pro.
ductions today. .''Killers" be.
come heroes in the eyes Of thous.

taking the law into their own
bands.
Some persons, say our orgy of
crime has been caused by the
war, some say prohibition, some
say drugs aud Others say too
much prosperity and extravag.
ant habits.
AS a remedy, we pass number.
less laws which we do not en-.
force. Most all of them tend to
limit the rights of the law.abid.
ing citizen in the hope of thereby
reforming the criminal. We seem
to be afraid to Inconvenience"
the perpetrators of crime.
Why pass law denying citi.

revolvers when we know GRIM
inals will not obey such a law
and can smuggle in all the guns
they desire? Why not increase
the penalty for every crime in
which the perpetrator is found
using a gun. Why not exert
ourselves more in bringing Grim.
inals to Justice?
In our literature and in our
amusements we heroize the crime
perpetrator. In our legislation
we punish the man who commits
no crime, rather than the Grim
inals; that is easier. We blame
an inanimate pistol, piece Of
harmless metal, instead of pub.
lie consciousness which has be.
come warped as to its ideas OF
right and wrong.
Prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of guns would not
change the crime mania. Grim
inals would then adopt more
deadly neutrality-suspicious., gases,
liquid fire, bombs and instrumen.
talities which could take greater
toll than revolvers ever took.
II is not the instruments Of
crime which we should correct.
1t is not the law-abidiug citizen
whom we should concentrate
against, it is the criminal aud
law breaker who should receive

A Texas Monkey Wrench

Just to show that the Republicans
have no monopoly on monkey
wrencheS. Governor Dan Moody of
Texas SHES one into the Democratic
lineup.
IF I had the power to tell the
Texas delegates what attitude they
should take toward the various can
didates for the nomination" he de-
clared at the jackson day dinner in
Dallas, Il would say that they
should use their utmost endeavor
to bring about the nomination of
a man competent to be President.
and who is in favor Of prohibition
and its enforcement"
There can be no misunderstood
ing of what he meant
The Governor Of Texas has de-
cided to throw his influence against
the nomination of any candidate
opposed to the Eighteenth Amend
ment or the Volstead act.
In so far as he can control the
situation, Smith, Reed or Richie
will get no votes from Texas.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-03-17
SAYS:

Senator Borah launches a single
handed campaign to pay back the
100000 which Harry F. Sinclair
contributed" to the Republican
party and thus wipe out what he
considers an obligation Of same"
Because they find 1t well nigh
impossible to believe that d man
ever does anything just because
it is right, politicians are specu-
lating as 10 whether Senator Borah
is trying 10 save his party OF be-
come a candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination.
This is a dirty, unmerited re-
Election on Senator Borah's char
acter and career. No one who knows
him will believe that ne was inspired
by anything worse than quick-tem-
pered impulSiveness.
The move may be quiXotic and
may force him into the embarrasS-
ing position of having delegates
thrust upon him, but outside OF that
it is too typical of the mans ma
ture to be regarded otherwise than
as boil-oyer of righteous indig-
nation

Great Dry Majority

The significance of Governor
Moodys statement lies in the fact
that it will be quite as
effective in rousing prohibition SEN
timent throughout the south and
west as in guiding the politicians of
Texas.
Those who labor under the illusion
that there is not plenty of such SEN
timent to be reused merely fool
themselves. I say this as a matter
of observation, not preference.
I happen to be one of those who
believe the Volstead Act should and
will be modified, but I refuse to let
this belief cloud my judgment.
While sentiment has changed to a.
marked degree, especially in the
large cities, it will have to change a
great deal more to put the modiflca-
tionists in a majority west of the
Hudson River.

The "Straits of Panama"

The project to create a man-made Straits OF
Panama, by widening and deepening the Panama
Canal is unthinkable. The LIES dream of the
famous French engineer, Bunau- Varlla, whose name
figures prominently in the early chapters of this
titanic enterprise fortunate for that the best
engineering thought in this country still is almost
unanimously against it.
AS desirable as sea-level waterway undoubtedly
is, in practice, at Panama, it is not only absurd
ity, but imposSibility.
In the first place the water levels of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans vary terrfcally. The At
lantic is nearly tdeless at Cristoba. the variation
being about fifteen inches, whereas the Pacific has
a rise and fall of about twenty feet
Supposng the Straits of Panama" already ex-
istcd you would have ten-foot bore of water swirl
ing through at all hours of the day and night, as
one ocean poured itself into the other.
Locks at either end of the So-called Straits
therefore would be necessary prevent the rush
water wrecking not only the ships attempting pass
age but the canal itself.
Even if the oceans were tdeesS the sheer physi-
cal task of cutting ditch 1000 to 1000 feet wide at
the bottom, across the ooSesoed hills OF the sthmuS
to a depth of fifty feet below the level
OF the sea- would be too vast undertaking even for
our miracle working Americans.
BY the time it was finished, half the Republic
of Panama would have been steam-shoveled into the
sea. 1t would take from fifteen to tweny years to
complete it.
Meanwhile, the present canal would have to be
closed. All revenue, amounting to $25,O0o0oo
year gross would cease and national defense now
dependent upon the waterway, would be at ire
mendous disadvantage. Any enemy desiring our
destruction would be led to choose just such time
as this to attack.
The problem presented by the Chagres River, now
controlled by the formation of Gatm Lake, vital
part of the present system alone would be almost
insurmountable
In the rainy season its wild flood pouring into
a sea-level ditch, would play havoc with both the
canal and its shipping, yet parallel channel big
enough to drain off the river without emptying into
the ship canal, would make the cost prohibitiye.
Lastly. if the idea of closing the Central Ameri-
can sthmus to our navy for twenty years were not
in itself unthinkabe-as it is-the final cost Of a
nan-made Straits of Panama would at least equal,
if surpass the of cutting the proposed canal
across Nicaragua, more practicable and better
proposition from every point Of view.
The Nicaraguan canal would shorten the dis
lance by sea between our east and west coasts by
300 miles. 1t would stimulate water-borne ship
ping and lower freight costs And, at the same time
it would add much needed second string to bow OF
our national defense.
These are but the highlights Of isthmian canal
problem, about which the public is destined to hear
a great deal in the future.
For the world is moving at a tremendous clip
nowadays and, almost before we are aware of it. we'll
have to decide way another-between one
enlarged canal, or two

Accidents at Home

We are accustomed to think of traffic as the chief
contributor to steadily mounting total OF acct
dental deaths in the United States. But the March
issue Of Public Safety, the organ of the National
Safety Council discoses that during January Of this
year accidents in homes caused more fatalities than
accidents on the street.
In that month traffic caused 1,76o deaths. In the
came period accidents in the home caused 2,020.
This is rather amazing and also disquieting The
work of safety education apparently has only begun.
