A Chairman ana a Senator.
(New York Times.)

To get the bearings of the testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, given yesterday by MT. Wickersham, Chairman of the Presidents Law Enforcement Commission, it is necessary to recall ator Norris and demands a sweeping investigation by the Senate of all the agencies for the enforce ment of Prohibition. The Nebraska Senator asserted that corruption has spread widely among officials charged with the duty of enforcing Prohibition, and that the law is everywhere disregarded. These charges were, however but a faint echo of the thunderous allegations which had previously come from Senator Borah. He declared positively that the service of Prohibition enforcement rotten from top to bottom. Until it is thoroughly reorgan- ized there is not in his opinion a possibility of making the nation believe that the Volstead Act is anything but a mockery. Senator Borah has been accommodating immense amount of evidence this subject, which it understood he was ready to pour out upon the defenseless heads of his brother Senators. But this perilous matter has apparently been held back until the Judiciary Com mittee begins its inquiry, which Senator Norris in- sists that it must undertake in spite of the evidence presented by Mir. Wickersham.
 What that gentleman said to the Senate Com nttee supposed to be confidential part of it seems to have leaked out, usual MT. Wick ersham himself later had a frank talk with the newspaper correspondents in which it is to be stunned that he covered the substance of his testi- mony before the Senate Committee On the point of possible Senatorial investigation he was tact itself. Surely it was not for him to suggest what the Senate ought or ought not to do. Yet it re- mains fairly clear that he does not believe that Senate investigators would be able to find out more than his commission has discovered. As for the Prohibition service being honeycombed with corruption, he stated that he had no proof of it. but at added that he had as yet made no
 special investigation" along that line. He may get around to it. The task before the commission he sees as very long, covering a year two more in all probability, though possibly a partial re- port may be made to Congress from time to time.
 This is a proper enough attitude for serious and thorough inquirer, but it will not appease the celestial wrath of Senator Borah. When mere Chairman disagrees with the Idaho Senator the former is pretty certain to hear something from the latter which will make his jingle

WORLDS ROADS INCREASE.

Although the United States leads the world in road mileage with 3O16,381 miles, Japan has the greatest amount of roads in proportion to area. &C., cording to a report of Frank B. Curran and B. P. Root Highway Specialists of the United States Department of Commerce That foreign countries are taking constantly increasing interest in road construction is evident from the fact that America formerly had 46 per cent. of the total road mileage in existence and has only 38 per cent at present. "The fairest basis on which to compare road mile age figures says the report seems to be the proportion of road mileage to area One country large in area may have a greater road mileage than a smaller country and yet be less adequately provided with the roads it needs" On such a basis, Japan takes the leading place. with miles of road to the square mile; Luxembourg is second with 26; United Kingdom fourth with 3, and the United States twelfth with me."
