Protecting Crime

Can the members of the legal profession,

Ugh inquiry into the conditions which Chief
ustice Martin, in public address, said he
aheved TO exist in this city and state?
He suggested that there is practice Of GER

But that such relationships IN effect do exist
tetween certain lawyers and the criminal ele-
1ent can not be doubted. 1t is not matter Of
ccident that every Capone gunman who is

ended by the same lawyer. 1t is not matter

Enforcement Efficiency

President Hoover proposes to put prohibition en-
forcement on a more efficient basis. He has asked
congress to name select committee to confer with
representatives of the executive departments on
reorganization and concentration Of responsibility in
administration of the federal bureaus connected with
prohibition enforcement"
The special committee would have the cooperation
Of the Presidents law observance commission.
The Presidents move is timely. Instead Of waiting
for conclusions of the Law observance commission,
which may not be available for two years he will as
quickly as possible bring about needed changes Pre-
sumably the end sought is to gather under single
head the various agencies engaged in detecting pro-
hibon violations and prosecuting offenders as nearly
as this possible This should make for efficiency
It is is agreed that the government should enforce
prohibition to The limit of it's ability It should have
the men and the means for sincere and determined
effort to make the law effective
Then if the inolerable conditions which exist are
not corrected it will be apparent that prohibition en-
forcement is impossible and suggestions for modifca
tons will be douby opportune.

The Armory Program

The audaoity Of Acknowledgement Kershner in
trying to fost ten more arnores on the state under
the private exploitation plan condemned by the legis-
atre suggests that the Governor is showing remark
able patience in continuing him in Office after the
expiration of his appointment.
That the Governor has refused to permit this vio-
aton Of the law and of the policy of the legislature
is Encouraging.
But there are still some steps to be taken When

enough facts TO make necessary a thorough inquiry

which states that the full drives the clouds out

This is proverb the truth of which was stubborn

The explanation is particularly interesting.
When the sky is clear and the moon is full. every
one is certain to remark upon the beauty Of the moon
When the sky is cloudy and the moon is full, most
people do not know that it is the time of full moon
II is true that oldfasioned almanacs and many cal
andars give the phases of the moon. Most people
however make effort to remember this informa-
ton even if they may read it.
Consequently. when the moon is full and the sky
cloudy, they do not know that the moon is full
When the moon is full and the sky clear they see
the moon
Consequently they feel certain that the old proverb
is correct and that the full drives away the
clouds

Perhaps the most danning evidence is that given

not increasing as rapidly as the
crude rates would signify.
One of the commonest mistaken
impressions concerning cancer is the
notion that it does not occur among

the first place it does occur among
them. It is argued also that it &C.

that cancer is essentially disease

it used to be among Americans,
