POOLS FORCE LIFT
 IN STOCK PRICES
Professionals Cause Sharp Rises
 After Nasty Break

New York, Sept. LP-The stock ! market quickly recovered today from the scare which sent prices tumbling in the last hour of yes .orday's session, bounding upward in Expressive fashion under the ltadcr-
 ship of the public utility issues.
 Some mcasincss was apparent al
 the opening, but the resumption of . large scale buying operations by
 professional pools restored specua- | tive confidence and by early after noon nearly all Of the leading groups presented several outstanding
 strong spots.
 Opening strength and activity Of
 the market leaders Was interpreted as an indication hat stocks had passed from weak to strong hands in yesterdays break. Very little
 distress selling came into the mar ket and traders who sold short or
 the break were forced 10 cover al iShcr prices. Operators for the ad- ! vance apparently were not disturbed by the prediction of q well known statistician that a drop in prices
 rivalling the FIorila land boom col
 lapse Was coming, which caught the market off balance yesterday and
 Was generally held responsible for the late reaction.
 Whie it was generally agreed that
 the market had reached a top-heayy speculative position yesterday, spec ulative opinion was still widely di-

OUTCROWlNG INTERROGATION EVIL
DR.. Faunce, Retiring President
Brown University, Finds Growth
Involves Loss of Worthless
Things

The following dispatch from ProVi-
dence, Rhode, Island, is taken from the
Christian Science Monitor of June II and
is self-eXplanatory:
"Just as civilization has been a process
of putting away childish things the
world will come to the point where it will
outgrow intoxication, according to DR.. w.
II. P. Faunce, President of Brown Uni
versity, in the baccalaureate sermon to
the graduating classes of Brown and Of
Pembroke College. DR.. Faunce is soon to
retire and the Commencement is the last
one in which he will participate.
Growth DR.. Faunce declared, involves
constant loss of things not worth while
He definitely placed liquor in this CLASH
fication, although he declared that he was
not engaged in discussing the solution to
the liquor problem.
To-day, we see that stable indus
trial order can not be built on the draw
ing of cards or the throwing of dice or on
the oppression of the individual he said.
In the same way we shall outgrow the
idea that intoxication is tolerable in an
age of complicated and dangerous mech
anism. The man who presumes to steer
an automobile through crowded city
while his brain is fuddled is par ex-
cellence fool"

GRAPE MEN WILL ASSIST
California Grape Growers Will
Help Government to Keep Grapes
Out of Hands of Bootleggers

According to a dispatch carrying San
Francisco date line of September II, indi-
cations are that the business of producing
grapes will strike q normal level this sea-
son. According to this press dispatch Cal
ifor1lia's 639927 acres of vineyards will
yield 1,79100 tons of grapes and raisins
this year, giving the growers approximate
ly S1400 100000.
The acreage is the smallest since 1925
nd-the tonnage likewise is the smallest
since 1925 More grapes and raisins were
raised in 1922 and in all succeeding years
since that year with the exception of the
short crop season of 1924.
1.-THE wine problem in which the prohi-
bition bureau is interested still remains"
says the dispatch, land for the first time
responsibility is on the shoulders of the
raisin men"
"'Be your own policemen said DR.. James
NJ Doran, Federal prohibition commits
sioner, when he visited the grape-growing
region Of the sunny San Joaquin Valley,
not long ago
Aid was pledged by the cooperative or
CARNATIONS to keep the grape and raisin
crop out of the bootleggers' hands.
Few grapes are held in California. They
are packed in crates, placed in refrigerated
cars and rushed across the continent
where, it is feared, sometimes bootleggers
made wine 1900 miles from the point
where the grapes were produced
The California Vineyardists' Associa-
ton is on record as desiring to build up
the grape industry through legitimate
channels and stop shipment of grapes to
those using them illegally. Both the gov
eminent and the grape grower organiza-
tons are determined for a legitimate bust
ness and bootleggers are likely to find it
difficult to buy the raw material, that is
grapes in sufficient quantities for whole
sale violation of the prohibition law.

WESTERN FEDERAL JUDGE
Is Causing Real Commotion
Among Vets of Brooklyn

Federal Judge Ritter, of Colorado has
been transferred and is now holding court
In Brooklyn, New York He is trying Of
tenders charged with violation of the VOL
stead Act. Within two days he imposed
fines of $500 against defendants found
guilty and expressed surprise because
some of his critics regarded such penal
ties as excessive.
Although Judge Ritter believes 1t will
take some time to thoroughly enforce the
prohibition law he is sure the job will be
done IT think" he said, that people
are coming around to point where they
will have a real respect for the prohibi-
ton law. There is a great and important
stratum which believes that it can get
along without liquor and is willing to do
SO in order that the law may be obeyed.
ITO me speakeasy is just saloon.
The law forbids saloons. Therefore,
maintenance of speakeasy is violation
of the law, punishable under the law. The
duty of the bench is to administer the
law. If the law is properly administered,
its Violators will be punished and their
numbers and activities diminished"

DON'T LIKE METHODISTS

ExaSperated by the fight of the churches
against the liquor traffic the vets have
launched a paper in Washington called
The Challenge, and from newspaper &C
counts their guns are trained especially
on the Methodist Church. The Asso-
ciated Press quotes from the announce
ment as follows:
The aim of The Challenge is to de-
stroy the political power of the Meth
odist Church and it's allies by organiz-
ing the enemies of intolerance regard
less of their political and religious be-
liefs into a body which we hope will
assume national proportions
The further announcement for it's first
issue indicates that it is to be o militant
fighter for Al Smith and the bootleggers.

PARTNERS In CRIME

Under the above heading the Ladies'
Home Journal, for July, 1929, has the fol-
lowing timely editorial which we commend
to our readers and which we are using by
permission of the Ladies Home Journal
management:
Politics, it has been said, make strange
bedfellows. Bookkeeping m axes even
stranger companions. Reputable citizens
who would unflinchingly send murderer
to prison for life, who would unhesitating-
ly impeach corrupt public official, will
nonchalantly buy liquor that is Splashed
with murder and pay price that they
know includes brides to officers sworn TO
uphold the law. Unwilling to do murder
themselves, they are quite willing to be-
come partners in crime with the under
world financing gang wars and killings
and robberieS and wholesale corruption.
and yet they complain that lack Of
respect for law is undermining our whole
national life
who is doing the actual undermining?
The seller or the buyer? How long would
the sale of illicit liquor continue if the
bootleggers could find no customers? The
economic law OF supply and demand rules
in an illegal market as in lawful trade.
1.-THE Jones Law, with its drastic pun
ishment of five years imprisonment and
SlOOOO nne, mas Deen WIDELY condemned
By whom? BY these same good pals, the
bootlegger and his customer, who cry that
we can't respect laws that don't deserve
respect
Strange as it may seem, the Presidents
crime commission is going to find when it
has weighed all the evidence, that ap-
parently self respecting men and women
are at the bottom of the so-called crime
wave. y-perhaps-they have
been making millionaires out of gangsters
who have as little respect for life as they
have for law. Unknowingly they have
been financing the thirsty propagandists
who shout that the liberty for which our
forefathers fought and died has been
shattered to dust.
1.-THE prohibition tangle will never be
solved by putting the bootleggers In jail.
It will be solved when the customers stop
buying. Happily, an influential portion of
our population Is beginning to recognize
that fact. Social leaders are sending out
word to their dinner guests: IF you must
have a cocktail, get it before you come:
we are not serving liquor any more
"And once it becomes the fad not to
rink the crime wave viii be at an end

SURVEY ABANDONED
No Statistics Available on Persons
Killed in Dry Law Enforcement

The Department OF Justice, at WASH
ington, has abandoned its attempted ma
tion-wide survey of the killings of en-
forcement officers, bootleggers and citi-
zens that have marked the first nine years
of prohibition.
According to Attorney General Mitchell
the survey was not getting anywhere,
owing to the absence of records of most
of the killings connected with state and
municipal enforcement. It was to bring
together such records that the survey was
undertaken, and also to furnish some in
formation to the National Crime Commits
Sion
Although the Federal government has
maintained records, no statistics have
been available regarding the lives taken
by local enforcement

STATEMENT AND PRE-
DICTION

DR.. John A. Lapp, President National
Council of Social Agencies, makes this
statement and prediction in regard to pro-
hibition: "90 per cent of the people Of the
country are not trying to drink. There is
a noisy fringe of vets with widespread
means of propaganda that has given a
very distorted view of the actual condi-
lions resulting from prohibition. I be-
neve that prohibition has been as great
success as everyone ever had reasonable
right to expect when the vastness of the
social problem involved is considered, and
I make the prediction that no national
political party will openly declare for re-
peal or any considerable change In thr
prohibition law" -@

PROHIBITION CONDITIONS
IMPROVED

The opinion that Chicago bootleggers
have fallen from their high financial es-
tate, and that the liquor situation in that
city is better now than at any time since
the enactment of prohibition, was ex-
pressed by James M Doran. United States
dry chief, while in Chicago recently. 1.-The
big bootlegger has almost become extinct
In the Middle West" Doran said. Com
missioner Doran also said that the prohi-
bition situation in other parts of the
country has improved He cited SNUG
Cling on the Detroit river, and said that
the government has reduced liquor impor-
tation across the river from 10000 cases
in June 1923, to less than 10000 in June
Of this year.

FEWER BROKEN HOMES

According to the report of the Boston
Childrens Friends Society, last year less
than one per cent of the 262 broken
homes receiving attention from the So
ciety were caused by drunkenness of the
father. Before prohibition this percent
age was much higher, records of the in
stitution showing about 20 per cent OF
such cases being due to alcoholism of the
family head. At no time since 1920 has
the percentage exceeded three per cent,
and it seems to be steadily decreasing
each year.

AN EYE OPENER
An Incident Which Tends to Chal-
lenge Severely the Wet News
paper Reports About
Drinking

We have charged repeatedly that The
wet newspapers and wet politicians IRE
continually disappearing the prohibi-
ton situation They are endeavoring to
make it appear that drinking 5 greatly on
the increase when everybody who thinks
seriously about the matter knows that
there is not one-tenth the amount of
drinking in the United States as a whole
that there was before prohibition.
There is drinking of course, and 90
much of it, but this constant misrepresen-
tation of the facts is already beginning 20
bring reaction, as misrepresentation IL
ways does. The wet press and the wet pol
iticians which re-echo their articles are
rendering little service in the long run %
the wet cause, for the simple reason that
misrepresentation will always be discoy-
cred sooner or later.
The Christian Advocate, published IN
New York City, which is one of the lead
ing religious journals of this country, had
an editorial in its issue OF July IL a part
of which is as follows and should be
widely read:
But it is we'll to remember that news
paper support does not insure success.
They have just had national election in
Great Britain. The Labor Party had but
erals had three, and all the rest were Con-
sentative Yet the party which lacked
editorial support had the most votes at
the polls. The people did not take orders
from the editors or from anybody else.
"a good example of the failure of
newspaper to understand and represent
the mind of its constituency is afforded
by recent incident Mr.. Harvey E. SIM
mons well-knoWn Methodist layman Of
Brooklyn, who was for twenty-one years
General Secretary of the Y. M. c. A. of
that borough, was in Savannah, Georgia,
last spring, and became disguised with tr1Te
attitude of the leading dailies toward the
Eighteenth Amendment. He called on the
editor Of the Morning NeaOS and urged
him to give more space to law observance
instead of playing up attractions of the
law. The editor expressed the belief, SO
prevalent in wet circles, that everybody
breaks the law He told Mr.. Simmons that
ii he would canvass the persons living en-
certain city square and found that
twenty per cent or more had not taken a
single drink within year, that would be
news, which he would publish. Mr. Sim
mons thereupon made canvass of every
house, and of every person, including serv-
ants, in each house, and was able to report
to the editor that only one per cent were
breaking the law. Some who had served
alcoholic beverages before the Volstead
Act was passed, declared that they did so
no longer. On May the Morning Ne7Ds
gave full publicity to the facts which as
tonished the editor.
1.-THE trouble in too many Of the news
paper offices is that the editors and writer's
for the press come in contact with SO
many people who treat the law as farce
that they forget the inconspicious multi
tudes of lawabiding people of whose habits
and opinions they have no more knoWl-
edge than the editor of the London Times
had of the way the English voter was
going to mark his ballot"
