proposed by the engineers, the Rio Grande has pro-

T he Daily Pint

T WOULD deny no man his right
d to occasional excuses. but I am
mortified to observe the fearful
havoc which prohibition works upon
the human mind. The drying-up
process seems to sap the very juices
of the brain.
Consider, for instance, poor. dear
Mr. Wickersham. Before they
drafted him as propagandist for the
noble experiment, his countrymen
knew him as a lawyer and logician,
too. Now he is doing talking pic
lures and radio appearances to
argue the essence out of trial by
jury.
In arguing for the adoption Of the
recommendation that enforcement
shall be transferred to the depart
ment of justice, Mr.. Wickersham
says, THE eighteenth amendment
is a part of the Constitution, and it
is the duty Of congress to enact ade-
quate laws for the enforcement of
it's provisions"
I suppose that in the later and
more ample report Of the commits
sion we shall find the recommended
ton that the enforcement Of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments shall be transferred to the

Of persons are available to die at

The question has been raised as
to whether the increase in death from

increase in the incidence of such
diseases, or whether it can be eX-

that people are living longer than

Unquestionably both these fac

The medical point of view toward
heart disease has changed greatly

primarily with the pathologic
changes that took place in the heart
associated with disease and it was
customary to classify heart disease

REASON By Ff azSDis

DRENIER RAMSAY MACDONALD was much in
l. the picture when this disarmament conference
opened in London, he having written the first two
speeches. King George delivering the first one and
Ramsay the second. Ramsay's second speech being a
reply to his first one.
And he kept his face straight throughout.
without the most remote probability of changing
single vote, statesmen at Washington continue
to hurl prohibition buncombe at each other and in the
meantime the farmers or the land wonder when that
tariff relief will arrive and where they will get enough
to pay the next installment OF interest

1t seems little less than criminal to continue to
appropriate hundreds Of millions for prohibition en-
forcement and not do one blooming thing to arouse
the normal sense of the nation.
This could be done, but until it shall be done 1t is
grotesque to send forth army of enforcement Of

Professor Ogburn, director Of President Hoover's
social survey group, states that he prove mathe
macaly that in the last presidential election religion
played inferior part and that prohibition the

fication according to established
causes, and in various clinics 1t is
now recognized that rheumatic
fever, in youth primarily, but also
at advanced ages, is responsible for
at least so per cent of all heart
disease; that arteriosclerosis and
degenerative changes in the body
are responsible for some IS per cent;
that syphilis produces the changes
in approximately 10 per cent; that
the effects of over activity OF the
thyroid gland may be responsible for
1 per cent, and that diseases OF I'M

the rest.
If the human being passes
through life without serious disease
of any kind, his cells undergo a cy-

growth, period of maturity, and
a period of degeneration and SEN

The Police Terror

But probably majority Of citizens now will agree
that the "CosSack description is none too strong for

The point to this story Is that 1t occurred in the

Reversed

"ONE eastern company reversed
~ the pipeline flow and pumped
crude oil received at the coast from
West Texas and other sources,
westward to refneries at Pittsburgh
and Franklin, Pa" the bulletin con
tinues.
"a second and more startling in
novation is being initiated by the
Standard Oil Company OF New Jer-
sey and may result in widespread
changes in pipeline operation
throughout the country.
"They have reversed the flow Of
371-n mile line extending from the
seaboard to western Pennsylvania
and propose, as a common carrier,
to distribute gasoline by this method
at rates from 35 to so per cent less
than by rail"
A picture Of the activity in the
pipeline business is given by the
bulletin in the following words:
GAS new fields are brought in,
there always is wild scramble to-
construct new lines, as the produc-
ton is limited to the capacity of
the carrying facilities available and
transportation by rail usually is i'm
possible or at least uneconomical.
"The west Texas fields discovered
in 1927 now are connected with the
Gulf Coast by no less than six
groups Of lines. In the construction
of these lines through desert coun-
try and over rugged mountains,
many difficulties we're met and over
come.

through solid rock for fifteen miles.

ton 1t was necessary to haul mate

FRANCIS BRAKES DEATH
Jan. 20

I'M Jan. %, 1545, Sir Francis
" Drake, the first man to circum-
navigate the globe, died on board
ship off Porto Bello, a little Span
ish town on the Isthmus of Pan
anna, which he once sacked.
Drake began his sea life at an
early age by engaging In costal
trade. After a few years at this he
grasped an adventuresome opportu-
nifty by serving under Hawkins in
an expedition against the Span
iards. The English were defeated
and young Drake vowed revenge.
It was not many years later that
Drake captured Nombre de Dois, a
wealthy town on the Isthmus, seized
Spanish galleon in the harbor of
Cartagena and burned Porto Bello.
Many such predatory expeditions
occupied Drake, until he decided to
explore the unknown Pacific. When
he finally returned to Plymouth in
late September, 1880, laden with
treasure and spices, he had circled
the globe. For this achievement,
he was knighted by Queen Eliza
beth.
On the arrival of the Spanish Ar
mada, Drake was serving under
Lord Howard. It is said that Drake
prevented Howard from putting to
sea until they had finished their
game of bowls. saying, There's
plenty of time to win the game and
thrash the Spaniards, too" The

Constitutional Rights

While a new Constitution for the state
seems advisable still more imperative IS
change in the personnel of the institution
which is presumed to safeguard that docu-
ment.
No written document executes itself
Unless the men chosen to execute it perform
their duty it becomes futile and worthless.
One of the rights under the Constitution
Is speedy Justice for those who appeal to
courts.
Section IL of the Constitution reads: "All
courts shall be open; and every man for IN
Jury done to him, in his person, property or
reputation, shall have remedy by due course
of law. Justice shall be administered freely
and without purchase; completely and with
out denial; speedily and without delay"
Courts which fail to act promptly in
causes presented to them really toss away
the Constitution which they are duty
bound to protect and enforce.
It means nothing to the citizen who claims
redress for wrongs done him that there is
written into the Constitution the provision
that he shall have justice speedily and
without delay, if the courts haggle and argue
and delay decision.
If he has a just claim, he is entitled to
have the benefits while he lives and take no
chances that he will die before a court
officially condescends to write an opinion.
If he be in prison, entitled to reversal and
new trial, each days delay takes from him
something which can not be restored.
The people will elect new judges this year.
They will nominate candidates this spring.
The supreme court might we'll be revised
by the introduction of members who could
be relied upon to offer some reform in the
matter of swifter decisions. The Constitu-
ton can not be said to be working when it
is possible for causes and claims to wait for
three or four years before decisions are
rendered.
The appellate court has demonstrated
that it is possible to handle cases more
quickly. Nor are the causes before that court
different from the ones which are finally set
tied in the supreme court.
In the selection of candidates for judges
of lesser degree, one of the qualifications
should be a probability that there would be
q speeding up of justice all along the line.
It is not unreasonable to demand that
courts do not nullify the Constitution by I'M
reasonable delays and inexplicable lethargy,
especially where the decisions may have po-
ltical consequences.
And certainly three years consideration
of any case can hardly be said to meet the
constitutional guarantee of justice admin
istered speedily and without delay"

History

THE history Of the pipeline in
l. dustry forms an interesting
chapter in the story of American
development.
when oil was discovered in Penn
sylvania demand was chiefly for kerr
oSene, with Europe the largest con-
Suner,' the bulletin states.
Pipelines we're laid from the
fields to the ref1nerieS on the coast,
from which shipment was made by
steamer to Europe and by rail to
domestic points.
when oil later was discovered in
Illinois and Ohio, pipe lines from
these fields were linked with the
existing Pennsylvania lines.
Then came the big development
in Oklahoma, which, in turn, was
connected with the Illinois and Ohio
systems. Later on the Wyoming
and Texas fields were tied in.
The Texas and Oklahoma pro-
ducers, however, found it was more
economical to transport their crude
oil by pipeline to tidewater at the
gulf and thence to eastern ports by
tanker.
Virtually, no oil is being brought
now by pipeline from the nlid-conti-
nent area to the east, SIS the coastal
reflneries are obtaining the bulk
OF their oil by tanker from the gulf
coast, Mexico, South America and
California"
A recent development occasioning
great interest is the reversal of the
direction of flow in a number of
important pipelines. This innova-
ton is a result of the changes which
have come in with the use of the
tankers.

Nations Thousands of Miles
of Pipe Lines for Oil Cost
Quarter Billion Annually
for Maintenance.
By DAVID DIETZ
THOUSAND

NNETY-NINE SAND
IN miles of pipeline, almost
enough TO make four loops around
the earths equator, are used for
the transportation Of oil by the pc
troleum industry Of the United
States.
These pipelines, 1t is pointed out
in survey by Arthur D. Little, Inc.
Of Cambridge, Mass, stretch from as
far west as Parco, Wyo, and as far
south as FL Paso, Tex, 20 as far east
as Bayonne, n. J. In addition, there
is group in California extending
from Los Angeles 20 San Francisco.
These lines contain more than
100000 barrels Of oil at all times
and involve an annual expense es-
timated at quarter billion dollars
for maintenance and new construc-
tion," the industrial bulletin Of Lit
ties organization states.
In addition to the $4,000 miles OF
oil lines, there are $1,000 miles Of
pipeline in the nation carrying nat
ural gas.
Little looks forward to a large new
construction program in 1880, par
ticularly in the natural gas branch.
1T is expected that the year 1850
will see large new construction
program principally in the natural
gas branch, which is estimated alone
to involve a half billion dollars, and
that the production of pipe and ac-
cesSories will require at least as
much steel as in 1929" the bulletin
states.
