Restore Temperance.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )


 The third annual statistical report of the Moderation League, which includes among it's off cias and members some of the most noted men in American public life reveals the striking and growing futility of prohibition-the tragedy of prohibition it is being applied.
 Throughout the years of 1924 to 1926 the increase in the number of arrests for drunken ness has been marked and significant. In that time the increase in such cases has amounted annually to than 30,000, with the 1926 gain most notable. But the most terrible indict- ment of the whole arbitrary business of pro hibition is brought to light in the statement that arrests for drunkenness last year were more numerous by 136 per cent. than in 1920, the first year of prohibition.
 Spebnders of the Anti-Saloon League will attempt in two ways to turn these figures to their advantage. They will claim, first, that the statistics are garnered only from the large cities. whereas reports of COP municipal police departments enter into the making of the tables. They will assert. too. that the tremendous in- crease in arrests is due to energetic en- forcement of the law. That contention is equally false. More "drunks arrested because a greater number of persons drink sufficient liquor--and such liquor.-as to become intoxi- cated.
 To show the evil of this national tendency it is hardly necessary to remind intelligent cti- zens that tragcaly great number of persons women. A Police Chief in Kansas, admittedly the "dryest' State, calls particular attention to this fact in his report, and every city police department or Probation Judge knows the truth of it.
 America far along the road toward na- tonal temperance when prohibition. the most incorporate of movements upon the scene. Every thinking American will indorse the Mod eration Leagues slogan which calls for ''the restoration of temperance"

1927 MARKED FINAL CONQUEST
 OF AIR.

The year 1927 will probably take it's place that in which occurred the final conquest of the air It was a year marked by long distance arplane flights, and marked thes birth to fame of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Commander Richard F. Byrd and other famous trans-oceanic fers. It is altogether probable that the real development of the airplane in commerce will date from the impetus resulting from the spectacular and sus- tained performances of Col Lindbergh, who fin ished his remarkable year by spending Christmas at Mexico City and the beginning of the New Year in Central America goodwill mission to Spanish speaking neighbors south of the Rio Grande.
 Col Lindbergh's trans Atlantic flight preced- ed by two-hop trip from Los Angeles to New York, followed by those of Commander Byrd and Capt Chamberin, his triumphant tour of S2 American cities, during which he spent at least one night in each of the As States and termin- ating with nonstop flight from Washington to Mexico City and tour of the Central Ameri- can republic, making more than 35,O00 miles of flying in machine. has been demon stration that establishes beyond question the availability of the air for commercial navigation

IVY LEE ON COMMUNISM.

Ivy Lee, world famous personnel and indus trial relations counselor. after touring Russia and investigating conditons there, concluded that Communism as attempted to be established by the Soviet Government has fallen down. He was convinced that the leaders of both wings realized this and working toward "a kind of State capitalistic government which would restore its contacts with the other nations particularly those in the western part of the world He was not fearful of any evil result from Russian attempts to spread communstic propaganda in America and affirmed that the way to kill Boshevism is by contact. which, he cautioned, may de- mand long period and exceptional patience Such contacts with the western world would in- yolve penetrating influences of an enlightenng kind" the introduction into that ocean of poverty gulf stream Of superior prosperity
 MT Lee summarized the outstanding Features in the Russian situation at present as follows:
 Communism has failed aIh has been
 replaced in Russia by State capitalism,
 which is slowly but surely moving toward
 an adjustment with capitalism or West
 ern nations Bolshevism is fundamentally
 contrary to human nature
 The Soviet form of government IS
 stable and there is no reason to antci-
 nate a revolution in Russia which would
 upset that form of government Ihe
 probability is in the direction or an
 adaptation of the practices of the So- wet Government to those of the rest oi
 the world
 For the first few years after the bol-
 shevik revolution the industrial working
 man was in control Now the peasant IS
 1emanding more and more that his in- terests be considered primary against
 those of the industrial worker, The
 neasants number 130oO0 900 people, as
 against 15000.00o industrial workers.

BUILDING FOR PERMANENCY.

While the expenditure of $500 O0O dur ing 1927 in building activities in this city was not. viewed from strictly financial viewpoint, sufficiently large 10 attract a great deal Of no- tioe, it was the character of the building and the method in which it financed that lends significance to the years accomplishments. Vir- tualy all of the money was raised locally through the sale of stocks and bonds to local residents. This means that money heretofore tied up in savings accounts invested in foreign securit es was diverted 10 home Investments II went into buildings and industries which build up the com munity, and Is, therefore, working to make it a larger and more prosperous home town.
 It is such investments that make for perman- ency. They link those investing more closely with the community, give the investors q keener interest in it's industrial. economic and social life than they would otherwise have. The case with which tho capital for these various enter prises raised leads to the inevitable con cluson that other legitimate projects be as readily financed locally if they conservative ly conceived and properly placed before the pub lie. Nineteen twenty-seven splendid year in that it has marked the beginning of local financing of home enterprises, and 1928 should be even better in this respect.
