SPEEDS PRISON
 REFORM WORK
Spain First Woman Off, cer Starts Actions
 With Vim

MADRID, June 16-Victoria Kent Spain's foremost woman lawyer and the first of her sex to hold public office in the nation, is wading into her new task-that of director of Spanish prisons-with vim.
 Hardly had she been named to office by the provisional republican government before she commenced to set in motion the wheels of modern prison reform. Spanish jails, generally, have not enjoyed a too savory reputation in the past hence her task is difficult.
 She harbors visions of putting Spain among the leaders in prison reform, and the national cabinet has given her vote of confidence in her work.
 She has been making recommen- dations to city councils without any maybe clauses. Her ultimatums have benn simply, If you cannot improve cell conditions here with in IS days, build a new jail" Authorities are accepting the ad- vice.
 Senorita Kent favors segregation of prisoners as to class of crime permitting them open air exercise and providing them with useful oc- equations to prevent idling.

PINCHOT WILL NOT BE NOMINATED.

It does not possible that those who are advancing Clifford Pnchot candidate for President are really serious. The Presidency is a many sided job and one-idead would be as useless in it as an armless man trying to paint a house. Clifford Pinchot has paramount idea and that is Clifford Pinchot. He work with no one. He insists that to retain his friendship peo- pie must work with him.

Turning Against High Tariffs.
(NeW York Times.)

Whatever else the proposed customs union be- tween Austria and Germany may have done, it has clearly set in motion a strong movement against protective tariffs all the Continent. Even in Great Britain the political tide which seemed to be sweeping back toward protection has been checked by the resolute opposition of Chancellor Snowden, and by the decision of the Liberal Party to hold out along with the Labor Party for free trade. At Geneva the preliminary discussions Saturday led to few sharp differences of opinion But they related to questions of international law and the interpretation of treaties. On the main point-the economic point-there was almost absolute agree ment. Italy vied with Austria Germany with France in declaring that the system of high tariffs between the various countries had been harmful to all concerned. It may sound queer to American ears but here is what the Foreign Minister of Ger many said: High tariffs have resulted in production and in lowering of the standard of living for the working classes" Thus have come to something like climax in the prolonged Euro pean discussion of this subject. There had been a theoretical consensus that something should be done but nothing was done until the proposed Austro- German customs union was announced. That prov ed to be like the sudden explosion which sets glacier to slipping. Europe is rapidly coming to the conviction that protective tariffs simply outworn failure.
 Tell it not in Washington whisper it not to Senator Shoot, but the high tariff in the United States has never been more unpopular with Am ericans than it is today. Many are blaming it. no doubt unfairly as the sole and sufficient cause of our business troubles, but no impartial person is heard to say a good word for it. The thousand or more economists who warned President Hoover
 in advance that the Hawley -Smoot tariff would prove to be gigantic blunder have now only to point to the results to show that they were true prophets. Credulous Republicans who thought the tariff would work in magical way to restore pros perity are angrily asking where those benefits which they promised. Public sentiment in this al,a I1+o fully much opposed to high tariffs and as ready to see them lowered abolished, as it is in Europe

ADVERTISING AS A SCIENCE.

Like all things, advertising has an evolution. A century ago the leading merchants resorted to what is now the classified ad and the modern display ad was unknown. The store which century ago purchased newspaper advertising in quantities of a half dozen lines weekly cntracts for and two pages and the landlady advertising for room CT or a young lady seeking lost cat consumes
 more space in the newspaper of today than the most thriving merchant of yesterday.
 As in quantity, so has advertising had an evolu- tion of quality Within the shopping memory of the present generation the advertisement, both newspaper and magazine, has risen from relation of articles and prices to attractive displays artst

OregOn's Step Forward.
Cincinnati Enouirer)

This summer Oregon will take the largest step in the development of law enforcement that State has known since its inception. Under law recent ly approved, Governor Julius Meier is building a State police force on the most modern lines in keep ing with the latest devices yet found to aid in the enforcement of law.
 Governor Meier points out that six distinct and independent agencies have been charged with law enforcement in Oregon, besides the miscellany of Sheriffs and constables and city police All these scattered agencies have been covering the same ground, each trying to enforce a special part of the State law, none of them succeeding.
 He points out also the growth of organized crime keeping pace with the development of paved highways and swift transportation filling jas and clogging Courts and making unsafe the lives and property of citizens in city and country. Quoting the American Bankers Association Jour- nal, the Governor observes that in the matter of bank robberies the odds eight to against the banks which are denied the speedy and efficient protection of statewide police authority "The protection of life and property is the most important function of the State" Governor Meier concludes. Tt desire for such protection that first brought men together into civilized SO. cety. The State must discharge that function ef. fciently and well contempt for State regulations will follow and the result will be chaos" Under the far-sighted leadership of Governor Meier and with the intelligent cooperation of thu Legislature, Oregon is taking notable step forward in the challenging task of law enforcement One o these days Ohio, too, may see the imperious neces sty for modern enforcement agency.

DR. WILSON WEAKENS.

Dr. Clarence True Wilson, head of the Metho- dist Episcopal Board of Temperance. Prohibition and Public Morals and most influential advisor of the Anti-Saoon League, has publicly admitted that the modification at least of the Prohibition laws is in- evitable under present moral conditions of the country He declared that there must be a revival in morals under great leader like Luther or Wes- ley if Prohibition is to be saved
 One of the great news associations in Wash ington dispatch recently gave out the following:
 Dr. Wilson believes there has been let down in morals in all directions. Witness the decrease in church attendance, moral de- pression" in the home, with cigarette -smok- ing women and cocktail parties, he said continuing:
 we cannot go at the rate we are going We must create interest in ob- servance of the. law or the law will fail. We are passing through serious period, a pe- riod of depression that is not only in the world of business, but in the moral code as well
 "The church is losing its authority. The Methodist Church which for generations has been growing, is losing ground.
 "The colleges failing in giving the moral background they gave before.
 Church people not contributing one half of the amount they gave ten years ago to the Anti-Saloon League.
 What we need is great moral leader another Martin Luther. We need another John Wesey-a great evangelist
 Many people drink to show their con- tempt for the law. When prohibition first came into being it was regarded as a fad to violate the law. But fads are not lasting. I firmly believe will win through this try ing time But it will take faith and hard work sacrifice and devotion. Those are necessary if we are to keep the law unchanged"
 More disnterested, and therefore keener, ob- servers than pr. Wilson believe that probably more than anyone else, Dr Wilson is responsible for the circumstance that his church is losing ground" and its influence waning Churches begin slipping in this country whenever they become political organi cations, and so many of the high officials of the Methodist Church North and South, have devoted their attention to things political at the cost o spiritual things that it is damaging the influence of those churches and causing decline in member ship and church attendance. The Methodists would do well if they would discard Dr. Wilson and Bishop Cannon.
 repeal or amendment is not immoral immoral It has absolutely no connection with religion o spirituality. Many of the most important factors in the religious life of the Nation deprcate the ac tivity of church in behalf of Prohibition The. realize that National Prohibition is impossible ant organized church support of it is handcapping tht cause of religion.
 the most persistent champion of Prohibition sine the demise of Wayne Wheeler. seems to realize tn fight for it is losing.

The Socialist Party "RevivaP in
Connecticut

again, I'm Russia the government has all sorts
of insurance to the worker. If a man is out of
work he draws unemployment insurance; if sick,
he gets sickness insurance; if too old to work
there are old age pensions" Socialism is the
only way that poverty, crime and other evils of
capitalism will be abolished"
Socialists Use Demagogy.
Here is a classical example of demagogy. Mr.
Miller has a job to do He wants to show he
can do it well. His job is to make workers
think that the successes of the working class in
the Soviet Union are the successes of the S. p
He does not mention that his big boss Mr.. Hill
quit, was the chief attorney for a group of
former owners of oil wells in the Soviet Union
demanding compensation for these exploiters
He does not mention that his socialist party sup
ported morally and financially the efforts of
the Menshevik party to overthrow the Soviet
Republic and destroy those things which he
claims socialists establish. He does not tell the
workers that the working class in the Soviet
Union achieved their successes only after defeat
ing on the barricades the fake socialists" in
Russia who we're fighting for capitalism, just as
he is fighting for it here.
Mr.. Miller resorts to this cheap trickery be-
cause he is not in Stamford to organize workers
for struggle. His job is to win workers away
from the influence of the Communist Party
ana IL is WlIl uJGl6 wonder JnaG ne Is gwen so
much space in the bosses press
But Mr.. Miller does not feel too sure of him
self He fears his masters will think he went
too far in praise Of the achievements of the
Soviet workers. So he goes on to say, True
there is a certain amount of despotisln, but
haven't we got that here, too?" So everything
is all right after all. Mr.. Miller is not red
agent. Heavens no! He goes just far enough to
deceive workers, but injects his bit of poison.
Despotism exists in the land of the Soviets he
says Naturally, one who receives training IN
Mr.. Muste's Brookwood college, can see no diff
ference in a dictatorship where a small group
of capitalists exploit and Cypress the entire
population as exists in the U. S.. and a dcta-
torship of the proletariat where exploitation has
been abolished and where the working class
with the full support of the peasantry dictates
that capitalism can no longer return to the land
of the Soviets and he who works to bring it
back will have to face the wrath of the working
class.
He conveniently shuts his eyes to his great
socialist, Macdonald, depressing millions of
colonial people; of the support given the CAPT
taliSt dictatorship by the German socialist party
or, that the socialist party makes up the largest
part of the ruling block in Spain fully sup
porting the government, which is trying to
drown in blood the efforts of the masses to i'm
prove their conditions.
