Paving the Dry Price

Asking for an appropriation OF
only $4O,oOO,OOO, Commissioner
Doran, in charge of dry enforce"
nent, says it would take $500, 000,-
600 to do a thorough job. If that
is true, why be so modest?
1t is to be presumed that If the
American people want prohibition,
they are willing to pay the price.
More than that, paying the price
might be one way of proving
whether they really want it.
Passing law, and then providing
inadequate means to enforce it is
the cheapest kind of compromise.
We have congress that pretendS
to be enthusiastically dry. All right,
let that congress appropriate the
money which those familiar with the
situation say is needed. Then we
shall learn how the American public
really feels.
My own opinion is that cheap, in
effectual enforcement goes far to-
ward making prohibition popular.

Human Nature

We have too many comfortable
notions with regard to prohibition
for our own good Drys are too apt
to think of it as presenting no
greater problem than a psalm-sing-
ing adventure. Vets are too apt to
think of it as explaining all the ills
from which we suffer.
A more sensible view suggests
that prohibition, even if possible,
could not be made effective without
more effort and expense than have
yet blessed it. Evn if it could be
made effective we should probably
find plenty of graft and crime with
which to contend.
There are rottenness and corrup-
ton in this country before the
eighteenth amendment ever was
thought of, and there probably will
be after it has been forgotten.
Neither the drink habit nor its
elimination go to the bottom of hui
man nature. What men think is.
always has been and always will be
more important than what they eat
or drink. There are too many ex-
amples Of HONESTY in spite of booze
and dishonesty in spite of total alb
stinence to doubt this.

thought to the improvement of the refractor.
About 1880, the suggestion was made by Gregory
that two kinds of glass might be used in big lens
so that the distortion caused by the sort could be
corrected by the other Nothing came Of the sugges
tion however.
In 1888, Chester Moor Hail. a wealthy resident of
Essex built telescope of this sort. But Hall appar
emily was gentleman OF leisure and very careless of
his fame For he made no effort to patent his 1nven-
ton or even to acquaint the world with it.
The result is that the world credits John Dolland
with the invention of the achroatc telescope as the
refractor of this type is sometimes called.
Dolland without any knowledge of Halls work, ar
rived independently at the idea of combining different
types of glass in 1883.
A considerable discussion had gone for about
ten years prior to 1853 to the possibility of doing
this Scientists in various parts of Europe had con-
tributed to the discussion.
But Doland finally arrived at designs which he
garded practical Accordingly, he proceeded to try
them out and they worked
The refractor type of telescope in use today uses
achromatic> object glass which in general follows
Dollands design.
Two kinds of glass are combined so that the dis
tortion bending of the constituent colors by the
one sort of glass is corrected by the other.

legitimate. But devious delay and legislative log
rolling with this treaty would be national disgrace
1t would be to break faith with other governments
and with the American people,
BY common consent the value of the treaty is as a
moral gesture. That is it's sole value And however
great or however small such moral gesture may be-
it will be killed by long delay or by reservations.
The treaty has been discussed publicly for many
months The formal text and all related documents
have been open to examination since last August.
The two weeks and a half before Christmas are
enough for hearings debate and vote. The treaty
has the right-of-way in executive session. No other

The government has acted. The people have done all

The Vestris Report

" Captain Jessop's expert report the Vestris
tragedy confirms the need for congressional action
odernzng archaic laws and regulations for safety at
sea- Legal means must be found to prevent greedy
ship owners ntrusting lives of passengers to
sseaworthy vessels, inadequate hfe-saving equipment
land incompetent crews.
i# McConkey the British expert, at the New York
Hearings in effect reserved judgment pending the
British Board of Trade inquiry.
A. Jessop as American nautical expert naturally con-
fined his report in the main to technicates. But
techncaes cannot obscure the basic responsibility of
1.-THE owners After stating that did not believe the
master and chief engineer of the vestrs had full
trol of the situation Jessop recommended wider use
of radio better life belts, strcter inspection of life
lboats and more rigid examination of applicants for
ioficers licenses. He added:
"That ship owners should be required to furnish
..dsta on a vessels stability (and) That some
method should be devised to hold ship owners re-
.sponsible for incompetence of officers and crew"
u This is good. But it does not go far enough It
gwould not remove the for future captains
Carey of the Vestris to delay sending to
ship owners from large salvage fees" Nor would it
make owners directly and fully liable for loss of prop
erty and lives Nor would it force periodic modernza-
/ ton Of all passenger ships.
y Fortunately the pending Wagner resolution in the
senate covers be made to cover these root evils
That resolution would authorize select senate COM
\ rnittee-
To investigate the adequacy of the present legal
standards of safety Of ship construction and operation
To investigate the adequacy and efficiency of the
steamboat inspection service To investigate whether
the laws governing liability for loss Of life and prop
erty at sea- The laws and usages of salvage and the
FLAWS, usages and practices Of the business of marine
insurance tend to encourage installation and utliza-
ton of devices and practices conductive to safety
and to submit final report to the senate, together
with its recommendations for necessary legislation"
i Congress- by bringing own laws up to date can
make it easier for government at the coming Lon
on conference to obtain adequate international regu
la1ations.
If congress and the President only see this thing
II through, perhaps the death of those children and
other vesris victims will not have been altogether in
H vain.
