Additional Penitentiaries Are
Needed

Additional penitentiaries Will be needed If the re-
cent ruling by the supreme court OF the United
States Is enforced to the letter Of the law by the pro
enforcement department of the government. MI. Justice

announced the decision. a declaration that barrels and
bottles and jugs and kegs and all other containers
may be seized under the prohibition law when offered
Tor sale in such q manner as to ~purposely attract as
purchasers manufacturers Of bootleg liquor.
Atty. Gen. VIM D. Mitchell will be the dictator OF the
pro enforcement agency on and after July /, but until
the coming Of July Federal Prohibition Comm. j. M.
Doran will be the big voice and he has given instruc-
lions to all federal agents to take advantage OF the
high court decision and make life miserable and per-
haps costly for the manufacturers Of barrels and kegs
and bottles and all other containers sold to the max
ers Of Illicit booze. There are enthusiastic pro Off
rials who say that this court decision will prove TO be
q knockout blow for all persons engaged in rum max
ing and rum selling in defiance Of the 18th amend
mcnt and the Volstead act In the good old days
law breakers were handled without gloves. George
Goodwin tells the story in his new book

rods, boiled in oil and buried alive indicators In En-

Their suffering would be minirnized. IN many cases

Zep Over London

One of the most encouraging things about the
human race is that IT has such a deplorsbly short
memory.
In some ways, Of course, this habit Of forget
fulness does a good deal of harm. But by and large
it is a big help. It keeps the desire for revenge from
burning for too long.
A short time ago the Graf Zeppelin made a flight
over England. 1t circled gaily over London. with
thousands Of people clustered in the streets and OH
housetops TO wave greetings and cheer. All in all,
II was a good will trip" with all hands uniting 10
give the big airship a cordial welcome.
Now it so happened that the Graf Zeppelin ap-
peared over London on the anniversary of the very
worst Of the many Zeppelin raids that London expert
enced during the war.
Furthermore. the Graf Zeppelin was the first Ger
man airship to fly over the British capital since
the war.
II years: and the last ones they had seen had given
them death and destruction. Those Zeppelin raids
were dreadful things. Twelve years are not a very
long time. The Londoners surely could have been
forgiven If they had greeted the Graf Zeppelin with
q stony, hostile silence.
But they didn't. They cheered. They were glad
20 see it. Not one spark Of the old enmity flared
up into flame.
Peoples memories. after ALL are rather short;
and-let it be repeated-it is a good thing for all of
US that this is so.
Human stupidity. greed and jealousy have brought
some terrible troubles down on humanitys head
Wars, revolutions, riots and irvasions dot the pages
Of history pretty shickly. right from the begin
ming. Men do frightful things to one another every
now and then.
But they don't remember them long Hence they
are able TO make up afterward.
Perhaps you can remember the feeling Of war
DAYS. Germany was to be an "outcast" nation for
evermore. Business men were agreeins never, never
TO trade with Germans again. The misery and
tragedy Of the World War were to be held against
Germany forever.
Somehow all Of those dire threats have broken
down-fortunately. We are rapidly working our
way back toward friendship. A German Zeppelin
can fly over London and receive cheers instead Of
bullets.
No matter how badly they are hurt. people Will
always forget about il sooner than you would think
There wouldn't be much hope OF progress If this
were not so.

who furnish the raw materials from which the gar
ments that cover humankind are made. Texas Is the
greatest Of all agricultural states. 1t is the greatest
Of all oil and gas producing states. II Is the great
est Of al cotton producing states, but 1t is not the
state where wealth per capita ranks the highest. II
is in the states where the makers Of things abound
that the per capita wealt his the greatest, and In the
purely agricultural states where the growers OF things
are In evidence that the per capita wealth Is the low
est.
Turn to the census figures already announced and
the growth Of cities and the growth Of cities and the
decrease Of population in rural regions tell all the
story. Back to the farm" Is a slogan that Is as dead
as the dodo. In the industrial centers of industrial
states the gainful occupations afford the highest wage
for the worker, regardless of sex. In the rural dis
tricts. or on the farm, the lowest wage Is the offer
ing.
In the Carolinas and Virginia and Tennessee and
Georgia and Alabema. manufacturing has made vast
inroads and great growth, and In these states the boys
and girls from the mountain regions and the rural
valleys flock to the cities because OF the favorable
labor conditions and the opportunity to improve the
economic fortunes Of the individual who tolls for a
stipend. Richest Of agricultural states. where all the
raw materials are produced for the makers of things
are Mr.. Joseph r. Grundys backward states" for
the reason that the growers Of things are not protect
ed and the makers Of things. like the sons of Mary
who neither toll nor spin and yet enjoy the fat things
OF LIE swell ther corners annually az the expense OF
the many because they are given rich protection by q
paternalistic government.
This isn't an exhibition Of radicalism. IT Is ar
economic truth. Growers Of things are the hewers OF
wood and drawers Of water for the makers OF things
because the makers Of things. for 10 years, have con-
trolled the national halls Of congress and enacted
tariff laws which fatten the purses Of the few and
make lean the wallets of the many who are the tilers
of the soil or the producers of the wool and mohair
and the cotton and all the foodstuffs. including meat
stuffs, which supply the makers Of things and their
vast army of salaried workers.
To be great. to be powerful, to keep its wealth al
home in the channels Of trade, Texas must become a
foremost manufacturing state as well as the greatest
OF agricultural commonwealths.
