A Divine Agent.
(NeW York Times.)

(NeW York T1meS)
 It has long been evident that the Eighteenth Amendment is regarded by the Anti-Saloon League as endowed with a sacred, a religious quality In the statute book the Vostead Act has the same superhuman and infalble character Yesterday pr. Mcbride spoke after his kind in attributing divine origin to the writer and maker of that amendment and that law:
 The League was born of God It has
 been led by Him and will fight on while
 He leads The thing that stands out
 is that those things in the way of progress
 of the Kingdom of God must get out of the
 way.
 The Eighteenth Amendment and the Vostead Act come down from Sinai. The League is the child of God and is led by God. If these asser- tions seem to millions as the presumptuous egoism and sef-deusion of fanatics if they seem bas- phemous their candor is disarming What right have merely human persons not favored with mes sages from Heaven, to dispute the prerogatves of the theocracy? Only a generation of vipers could murmur against this inspired association which has so long led the majority of Congressmen by the nose. It should be said however that in a theo- logical sense the League must be justified by it's faith, not by its works
 Its faith is sublime. Its works, or the results of its works are obvious to all who have eyes to see. Corruption of public officials deterioration of pri Vate morals; homicides committed by the agents of the agent of God the old and the sick deprived of necessary stinulant; almost for drink among adolescents; crowded courts overfowing ails almost daily some new encroachment on ancient rights and hbertes these are among the works of the League. If the state of mind exhibited by the League looks pathological we must not judge too harshly the enthusiasms of inspiration. The theocracy lives faith and contributions We who make no contributions to it and are with out its faith only its works
 To these the League, with it's eye on Heaven pays little attention. Otherwise it would not make the Creator responsible for the chief curse and evil of the United States at this time

Laws and Penalties.
(New York Herald -Tribune.)

Some six weeks ago MT Wickersham pro- posed to the Senate Judiciary Committee that the Jones law be modified to differentiate between major and minor infractons of Prohibition and the penalties attached thereto It seems altogether likely he had this recommendation in mind when ion Thursday he told the members of the American Law Institute that "the present-day practice of endeavoring to prevent crime by augmented penal ties" faacy.
 As applied to Prohibition enforcement this gen. eralzation has been proved to be true. The pas
 sage of the Jones law, now year old, has effected no improvement in the Prohibition enforcement situation. On the contrary there is considerable evidence to support the view that it's severe penal ties have in a great many instances turned juries
 against the notion of conviction, while at the same time, by invoking the constitutional requirement.
 of grand jury indictment in each case, they have added to court congestion.
 But congratulations seldom accurate under lall conditions. There is little doubt, for example, that the penalties imposed fourth of lenders under the Baumes code have had deter rent effect in the case of crimes of violence. We have often criticized in these columns the neastcity of the Baumes fourth offender law and have well Icomed suggestions that would permit of dscrimina- tion among the criminals caught in its net but we have questioned it's underlying principle which is that the hardened recidvist should be regarded living menace to society and incar- lcerated indefinitely and neither has society It depends entirely on what the people a whole, las distinguished from the authorities, think of the moral turpitude involved in crime whether augmented penalties will act a prevention.
 Which brings us to the subject of crime manu- factured by statute the malum prohibitum MT. tWickersham might well have extended his remarks
 to include discussion of this particular species of dereliction, since it is at the kind of crime that defes severe penalties and a most prolific source of the prison congestion he deploreS The
 maum prohibtum involves no moral turpitude it is this that diferentiates it from the malum in SC
 Its acceptance by society therefore rest pure Fly on an appeal to reason and it's enforcement on the mildest form of coercion Moral thunder and dire threats simply invite popular revolt. But MT Wickersham preferred, as usual, not to go into embarrassing detail

TO THE RESCUE OF COYOTES.

movement to prevent the extermination of coyotes has been launched by Eastern conserva- tionists under the leadership of Professor A. B. Howell, Johns Hopkins Medical School, who has been joined by such Henry Fairfield Os- born, Madison Grant, W. Reid Blair and Charles H. Townsend It is contended that the campaign against them is unnecessary, and that their de- struction will release plague of more destructive rodents against which the coyote serves as a natural check.
 With all due respect for MT. Howell and his H. lustrious co-workers we think they are unduly concerned the fate of the coyote. The New York Times thinks the movement appears to be in line with sound principles of conservation How ever neither it nor the sponsors to be in position to support that theory with convincing evil dence Against them is lined up the entire West with experience of many years, It has seen at first hand the havoc done to domestic animals by the coyote which, despite unremting campaigns against him. is far from the verge of extinc- tion.
 The Times remarks that because it looks mean, is furtive has an unpleasant bark and is prac- ticaly worthless for pelts it is now persecuted as a pest" If this all that could be proven against it, Prof. Howells movement would be jus tified. However, the is not quite simple. It is a proved predator. In Alaska its depreda- tions have been extensive in the game fields and the breeding grounds of migratory wild fowl. Vest farmers and stockmen long ago declared war him for wel-founded cause.
 Aside from it's alleged destructiveness of rodents which probably is true since its nature is to be destructive, there is little that be argued in it's defense It is not necessary a scavanger any more It lacks entirely in beauty and grace and therefore it's presence adds nothing to natures attractiveness and appeal. It is emblematic of nothing unless it be of cowardice, cunning and sneak -thievery The pleas for preservation of the eagle and the brown bear, objects of conservation ist adoration, understandable though not always appreciated. But this latest movement for the preservation of the coyote is neither capable of being understood appreciated

German Reformation and the French Revolution and the ultimate consequences of which he main tains will not become fully apparent for a long time. The main point he endeavors to make is that he and Lenin the authors of the "Octo- ber and that one, neither Stalin all of the "epigoni" combined detract from that fact.
 Time alone can reveal, of course, what effects will trail in the wake of the Russian revolution. Future generations however not alone in Russia but all over the world will have to contend with some of them. Russia may solve it's own problems and confine the evils growing out of the October" within its own borders, but if it does not the other nations of the world cannot stand by and watch them spread uncontrolled to the consequent menace of mankind.

EPOCH OF EPIGONES.

The revolutionary spirit is on the wane in Rus sia medocrity is in the saddle and the ideas which characterized the rule of Lenn longer present under Stalin, declares Leon Trotsky in his auto biography-"My Lfe"-whch has just made it's ap- pearanee in this country Largely it deals with the fantastic story of the rise of a poor Hebrew boy, Trotsky to of the most famous figures in one of the worlds greatest revolutions and his ban ishment from power.
 Besides Lenn and himself TrotSky has little that is kind to say of other men discussed in his book. Zinovieff, Kameneff, Radek and others of his own former allies are characterized dullards weak ngs careersts intrguers self seekers and betrayers of the revolution sailing under the camouflage of the banner of Lenn All of them are but un- worthy "epigoni' of a great leader and great revolutionary era with Stalin heading the list
 Trotsky attributes his downfall to the ebb- ing of the revolutionary spirit which marked the rise of Stalin while Stalinism is nothing more than "an automatic unwinding of the energy wound up during the revolution" The policy of stalin to dismiss and banish men of genius and ability and to replace them with others of mediocre quali- ties which thus enabled Stalin to stand out at their head.
 Of the present day Russia Trotsky said:
 The epoch of the epigones is separated
 from that of Lenn not only by gulf of
 ideas, but also by a sweeping overturn in

 this overturn. He is gifted with practicality,
 a strong will and persistence in carrying out
 his will. His political horizon is restrict
 ed his theoretical equipment primitive
 His ignorance of foreign languages compels
 him to follow the political life of other
 countries at second hand. His mind is
 stubborny empirical and devoid of creative
 imagination. To the leading group of the
 party Gin the wide circles he not
 known at alb he always seemed a man
 destined to play second and third fiddle.
 And the fact that today he is playing first
 is not so much a summing up of the man
 as it is of this traditional period of back sliding in the country. Helvetius said it long ago: Every period has it's great men, and if these are lacking it invents them" Stalinism is above all else the automatic work of the impersonal apparatus on the decline of the revolution.
