the southern dry bloc uses the eighteenth amendment
to club the wet east on the liquor issue the the
east will retaliae by insisting on enforcement of the
Negro enfranchisement amendments.
Altogether apart from such issues the rights of
American citizens and the sanctity of the Constitution
the present furore in the house should be revela-
ton to the country on problem of law enforcement
which is much older than prohibition and which has
a direct bearing on the prohibition issue
However disageeable the confession may be- the fact
is that civil war two constitutional amendments and
more than sixty years of crusading have not made
certain sections Of the south obey basic law in
which they do not believe. The south is not unique
in this kind of "awlessness 1t always has been the
custom Of large groups of free men everywhere to g-
more any law which they considered detrimental to
their community interests.
The rights or wrongs in any particular case Of
mass dsobedience always are matter of dispute But
no one can dispute the fact that such civil disobed
ence is resored to generally in the of unpopular
laws
When such mass disobedence is resorted to
whether jushably not-there is nothing much that
government can do about it. Because in such case
it comes up squarely against the limitations of law,
which is that law is effective to the degree that it
rests on popular consent and no further.
Law. enforcement machinery and police cope
effectively with occasional offenders but law enforce
ment machinery and police not cope with mass
disobedience.
Whatever congress, the courts and the President
may do about it, the south will continue to find ways
to nuIIfy the fourteenth and fit enth amendments
until the south persuaded of the rightness of those
amendments.
Whatever congress, the courts and the President
may do about it. that large group of otherwise law
abiding citizens to whom MI Hoover has referred will
continue to find ways nullify the prohibition law
long as they sincerely believe it is unjust
We may like it not, but that is the limitation of
law and that is the experience of all civil governments

sreak;ne of Law Enforcement

sneskinp of law enforcement, the house OF repre-
sentatives tentatively has passed amendment to the
census bill penalizing southern states which deny
NEGROES the right to vote under the fourteenth and

This probably would cut in half the present south

elections At the same time Justice Groner in Rich

already is discussed The southerners together WITH
other agricultural and dry representatives had pused

So there may be a trade by which both the Negro

phosphorus to meet its need.
Phosphorus also enters into the
composition of nerve tissues and
brain tissue. Hence for many years
nerve tonics contained phosphates.
AgasSiz thought that the human
brain required phosphorus to build
it up and because the meat of fishes
contained phosphorus he suggested
that fish was a brain food.
While all relationships of phos-

Among animal foods cheese. egg

NATHAN HALE


TODAY is the birthday Of Ma
4 than Hale, the revolutionary
hero who gained immortality at the
age Of 81 by going to his death with
this statement on his lips: Il only
regret that I have but one life to
lose for my country"
Hale was born June 6, ITS, and
executed Sept. %, 1776. When less
than 16 he entered Yale college and
was graduated with honors at the
age Of Is. For two years he taught
school but at the outbreak Of the
revolution joined the army at Bos-
ton and was made a captain.
His capture and execution at the
hands Of the British followed an at
tempt to spy on the English after
the American army had been de-
fcated in the battle Of Long Island.
when Washington was undecided
whether his army was being sur
rounded or whether the British in
tended to follow up their victory
with a direct attack.
According to tradition, the young
patriot was betrayed by his own
cousin. If his identity had been
kept secret another hour his plan
would have s. Eeeded.

THAT professor at M. I. T. gave
l. the boys some Singularly bad
advice. I am referring to Robert E.
Rogers, who told the graduating
class of Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology to be snobs if they
would succeed in life.
1T is just as easy" he said, "to
marry the boss daughter as the
stenographer."
Now this is a rather broad state
ment for a professor to make, par
ticularly to a group of young scien-
lists, unless he has seen the boss
daughter and the stenographer.
According to the revised statistics
of 1923 the odds are ten and a fraC-
ton to one the stenOgrapher will be
better looking than the boss daugh-
ter But possibly it is unfair TO
bring in esthetic considerations in
the case Of a gentleman who pro-
feSsedly made a hard boiled, prac-
tical speech.
Much as I abllor the sentiment of
the address, I feel the worldly Wis
dom of Professor Rogers is even
worse. Still, after all. one does not
go to a professor to learn the secret
of success in life. Somebody should
set the young engineers straight be-
fore they make tragic mistakes. This
is what Professor Rogers should

hand when the cirrus grow denser and when cirro-
cumuus clouds develop, rain within twentyfour hours
is likely. This is embodied in old proverb, which
states:
"Mackerel scales and mares tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails"
The development Of large cumulus clouds before
noon is usually the forerunner of a thunder storm
in the afternoon. An old proverb says:
I'm the morning mountains
In the evening fountains.
The cumulus clouds, it will be remembered are
huge, towering clouds.
fair day usually follows if fog clears early in
the morning. But if the fog hangs on. rain usually
will follow. This is implied in the provero which
says:
"Mists dispensing on the plain
Scatter away the clouds and rain;
But when they hang on the mountain tops
They'll soon descend in copious drops
Clouds of the lower and intermediate type, If now
ing from north to south usually indicate fair weather
for a day two. If they aIe moving from east to
south rain usually follows in twentyfour hours This
IS due OF course to the fact that the cloud motion
indicates which quadrant Of the cyclone the observer
is in. An old proverb goes

The PEOPLES Bidding

MFRS. RUTH OWEN, Democratic
1VA congreSswoman from Florida
and daughter Of the late William
Jennings Bryan, says she is not 60
ing back on her party or her dis
tinguished father in supporting the
Hawley -Smoot tariff bill.
She says that that is what her
constituents want and that she is
in congress to 90 what they want.
There are two theories of rep
resentation," she explains. First,
that a representative is elected to
do the bidding Of his constituents,
and second that he is elected with
a mandate to follow his own judg-
ment and inclination. I hold to the
former theory"

THIS tariff bill, which Mrs. Ruth
i Bryan Owen supports. because
her constituents want her to, is the
worst Of its kind ever written.
That. however. is not the most
alarming aspect of the present sit
uation.
We have come to a point where
VIC would go farther than tariffs,
where we would barricade ourselves
in all kinds Of ways; where we are
willing to exclude people as we'll as
goods, and ideas as well as people:
The reapportionment bill just ap-
proved by congress acting as a COM

TINE Connecticut Bar Association
L disapproves the graduates Of

Generally speaking, these schools
give evening courses.
In explaining the bar associations S
action, its secretary, James E.
Wheeler, says that it was not aimed
at particular law schools, or at poor
men who are compelled to work
their way through.
Mr. Wheeler says that the idea
is to discourage the continuance of
law courses for those who work day
and do their studying at night.
Answering this objection, Dean
w. P. Richardson Of the Brooklyn
Law school, one Of those coming
under the Connecticut ban, charac-
terizes the action as "un- American
