ADMITS HIMSELF OUT OF COURT.

Assistant Attorney General Youngquist in charge of Prohibition prosecution, says quite frankly that Prohibition cannot be enforced unless State County and City police authority is used in the work. He declares that it is absurd expect 175O Prohibition Agents, 91 prosecuting officers and ITO Federal trial Judges to enforce Prohibition. He continues
 And the States have the machinery ready
 to do the work According to the 1920 cen
 there were about 130000 State peace
 officers marshas, contables, sheriffs and
 policemen. The number is probably near
 175,000 now compared with force of
 1.750 agents in the Bureau of Prohibition.
 When repeat that number I marvel that
 few should have accomplished so
 much. To grind the grist carried to them by
 these State peace officers there are more
 than 31O0 State and County trial Judges,
 not including Justices of the Peace of whom
 there no doubt many thousands, as com
 pared with the ITO Feedra trial Judges
 MT Youngquist has admitted himself out of court. He has in effect confessed that Prohibition is unenforceable Anyone ought to know that 1t is absurd to expect the State, County and City police officers to carry Federal statute into effect-par ticuiarly where the Federal statute is not fav- ored by the people of the State. The citizens of a State constitute the power behind the police power of that State-the police authorities of the State itself and of the Counties and Cities with in it. These police authorities represent the people. It is ridiculous to argue that the police of State whose people opposed to Prohibition will effectively enforce Prohbitionor will attempt to do so That would not be human nature. It is not in harmony with the principle of self-govern- ment.
 To say that Prohibition cannot be enforced un- less the State and municipal authorities enforce it is tantamount to saying that it cannot be enforced until the people of the various States and localities favor Prohibition. previous statement by an en- forcement head that it could not be made effective until the people to it's support by refusing to buy contraband liquor.

Long for Blease.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Louisiana and South Carolina conducted Demo- cratic primaries Tuesday which in effect chose Sen- ators in advance of the November election. In South Carolina, the voters did the country whole a great favor by defeating Cole Blease, one of the biggest general nuisances the Senate has had in many years. James F Byrnes his successor, is almost certain to be an improvement. The decision of the Louisiana voters however, is not helpful to the country in general Governor Huey P. Long, petty tyrant and mschiefmaker in his own State for many years is to go to the Senate in place of Senator Joseph E. Ransden, an outstanding statesman and public spirited citizen. In short, we have traded Bease for Long. and the gain is nil.
 It remains now to be seen whether Tom Heflin lean sell "Jeffersonan Democracy to the voters of Alabama despite his rejection by the party organi- zation and thus force his way back to his coveted seat in the Senate. If he is defeated, as seems probable then take cheer from the unhorsing of two useless Senators and their replacement by only one.

Road Programs Should Be Speeded.
Seattle Business Chonicle)

Executives of all three Pacific Northwest States of Idaho Oregon and Washington have become keenly alive to the importance of speeding up road programs. The motive, of course, is that of pro- viding a maximum of public work this fall and winter by way of Relieving unemployment All of the States have funds available to cover road pro- grams of least the first half of 1881 Large DOT tions of ths programs be advanced and under taken this fall Open winters over much of the Pacific Northwest permit of such operations as clearing and grading with than minor interruptions. The speedng-up proposals are time y and sound the need for the employment thus to be provided is urgent The public should com mend the idea and that it is carried into action Communities which have road improvements pledged to them should demand early start if the pro- posed work is at all of nature that it can be done during fall and winter.

If Prohibition is to be enforced it must be by the Federal Government, and if the Department Of Justice really wants to enforce it in good faith let it ask Congress for not less than 250,000 or 100000 men and at least $2,O000OoO0O or S3,0O0,- 100000 year And then it would not be wholly successful.

Brownsville a Deep Water Port

Is Brownsville TO be a deep water port? Is there
q channel for deep sea vessels for the floating Of
deep water ships from the water of the gulf through
the waters OF the river channel to the Brownsville
docks?
Lower Rio Grande Valley has been seeking \ 25-
foot harbor. Now the board Of army engineers has
recommended a 25-foot project. and the channel will
be deepened through Brazos Santiago pass connect
ing with both the Brownsville and Point Isabel pro-
jects.
Total cost is estimated at S~4.7oo.Oo0 and Lower
Valley capitalists and taxpayers will supply S2,l75.O0O
and federal aid Will supply the remainder. Texas
has the longest coast line OF any American state.
Texas is very close to the Panama canal. Texas has
a string of Gulf harbors that are growing by leaps
and bounds. Texas has a future that is more tnan
dazzling to men Of vision who read and think.
And Texans in their senatorial and representative
districts this year should draft the very ablest and
constructive Drained citizens as lawmakers in order
ahat the And legislature may enact economic laws
for the empire and its 100000 population.
This should be the hour for constructive men In

Wilcox Keeps Record Straight

Chmn. d. w. Wilcox of the state democratic execu-
tive committee has sent q clear-cut message 70 the
voters Of Texas who call themselves democrats.
First. that It is untrue that the committee ruled
that candidates on the democratic ballot must De
limited to those who supported the democratic TICK
ct in 1923.
Second. it is untrue that the ruling OF the COM
mittee applied to candidates for district, county ana
precinct offices.
Third. it is untrue that the democratic coInHn11ee
made a bid for the negro vote.
Fourth and most important Of all, IL Is untrue
to say that the committee bars as candidates 1or
1928.
Fifth, and at the point the resolution adopted ap-
plies only TO candidates for state office and does not
apply to candidates for the district. the county OF
the precinct offices.
This is true. The resolution adopted Is clear cut
and to the point. All Hoover democrats who voted
for Hoover and Curtis in 1928 are invited to return
to the party fold and participate In the primary
election in July.
They may become candidates for district and county
and precinct offices. They may become candidates
for the office Of United States senator. They may
become candidates for congressional representatives.
Their leaders who voted for Pres. Hoover In 1928
are denied q place on the official ballot for gov
..ernor or The MINOR state places. As for Chmn. VIII
cox. in conclusion this Is his attitude as to the fu-
ture:

whether or not the committee has the legal authority
