The man of the desert answered Teassuringly, "Ay I did not know that it would be impossible fer ye to miss the way to Blackwater Tanks from here, I would not let ye stir foot. But all ye have to do is to steer straight for that little hollow between the two breasts of Mother Mountain and yen run right into the Tanks. Av ye was comin' this way from Blackwater Tanks to Drippin' Spring here, it would be different, fer then, do ye see, there would be no hollow to guide ye. But yell find Colorado Bill and yer friend Bruce at the Tanks if ye do not meet thim, and Colorado will know the way back here. So have no fear, lad, yell be danged sight safer on yer way tomorrow, as long as ye go straight for the hollow, than ye would be crossin' the streets av yer home city, wherever that is"

lowing a favorable report by the
senate judiciary committee Monday.
1t probably will be adopted early
in January and sent to the house,
where its chances for approval are
better than they ever have been
before.
In the last congress the Norris
amendment was held on the speak
er's desk for months, until a house
committee had reported a substitute
measure. Under the leadership Of
Speaker Longworth this substitute
was amended to include date for
automatic adjournment of congress
every other year.
Norris would not accept this sub
stitute, because he believes all con-
gressional sessions should continue
at the will Of legislators and the
amendment died when congress had
to adjourn March 4 under require
ments now imposed by the Consti-
tuition.

Senator Herbert of Rhode Island,

Vice President shall end at noon
on Jan. Is and the terms Of sena-
tors and representatives at noon
on Jan. 2. This would put newly
elected lawmakers at work the
January following their election in
November, instead of making them
wait thirteen months, as they do
under the present system.
1t would give lawmakers a chance
to assemble and count electoral
votes before the term of the in

successor is inaugurated.
The amendment also provides
that congress shall assemble at least
once in every year, meeting on

OXFORD, O., Dec .25-China
IKE the United States, has a gang
ster problem on huge scale. But
the bandits of China are not to be
confused with the racketeers that
prey upon American business, saws
DR.. Warren S. Thompson, director
OF the Scripps Institution for Re-
search in Population Problems, sta
toned here.
The Chinese bandits, who have
gained the international limeliqht
as a result of Japans demand for
the right to suppress banditry in
Manchuria, are non-professional
lawbreakers.
The Chinese bandit, DR.. Thomp-
son explains, has not set himself de-
lIberately against society. He is
simply one of the surplus product
OF country that produces more
people than it knows how to feed
or support. Being hungry, unable
to earn living, or to obtain char
lty, the Chinese joins forces with
other men as desperate as himself,
and the gang sets out to loot an
unprotected village.
Bandits Ex-Soldiers
Many of these highwaymen are
soldiers who have been disbanded,
DR.. Thompson says. If they are
of the coolie class, they find them
selves without any patch of land
to farm, without any education or
skill that would recommend them
for jobs.
Other bandits come from farming
villages. After famine or other ca
taStrophes has struck down a set
Element, some of the peasants there
may turn to banditry as a make
shift business until planting time
comes, and they can re-establish
themselves on their own land.
Chinese officials are powerless to
cope with this problem, even more
powerless than are American Of
ficials against gangsters.
For Chinese territory, DR.. Thomp-
son explains, is not criss-crossed by
a network of railroads and highways
and telegraph lines, as is the United
States. When a bandit group fees
to the hills with its plumber, it is
practically out of reach of the law
Now Rob Foreigners
In the last twenty years, banditry
has grown steadily in China. And
since 1926, foreigners have not been
safe from bandit attack. Before
then the boldest or most desperate
gang feared the consequences of
molesting foreigners.
Foreign nations were accustomed
to demand swift PREPARATIONS for
any injury to their people in China,
and the old China was accustomed
to giving in. When two German
missionaries we're slain in China in
1897, Germany seized the opportu-
nifty to obtain ninety-nine year
lease on the town of Using Tao,
concession for two railroads cross
ing the PROVENCE of Shantung, and
other reparations.
China's coast is dotted with these
concessions which nations of the
world demanded when China Of
Tended them in any way.
But China is no longer giving in
to the foreign nations so meekly.
This year when he travelled in Man
churia, DR.. Thompson says he was
warned against travelling beyond the
railway lines.
Railroads and adjoining territory
for five or ten miles back are pa
trolled by police forces. In Man
churia these patrols are chiefly
japanese. Beyond that guarded
area, no protection is given.

Court Heads Off PrOhi Agents.
Editor and Publisher

It will be a sorry day for this country if news paper publishers to be classed criminals be- cause they advertise a product which is non intoxicating and heathful, Judge Frank s. Shank land of the Polk County Ia) District Court de- cared in dismissng an injunction suit against the Atlas Beverage Company the Des Mones Union Railway Company and the Des Moines Register and Tribune
 Iniunctions and padlocks had been sought against the three companies by John B. Hammond, Pro- hibition worker and vice crusader. Hammond sought to bar the sale of Atlas beer because he said it violated the Iowa Prohibition laws. He started action against the railway company because the beer was stored it's warehouse and against the Register and Tribune because that newspaper printed paid advertisements of the beverage company.
 Judge Shankland dismissed the applications for injunctions because, he ruled, the issues involved had previously been settled by jures in Justice-o Peace Courts in Polk County.
 Juries in three cases had found that near beer including Atlas beverage seized by Hammond in his near beer crusade did not contain alcohol and was not malt liquor.
 Judge shankland held that the Justice Courts had the authority to pass on the issues involved and that their findings were "a binding obligation unless and until reversed by higher trbuna!'
 Judge Shankland, in dsmssing the injunction petitions, said
 It will be a sorry day for th!s country
 when the people lose respect for the courts
 but if the judgments of the courts are to be
 ignored and tramped underfoot; if news
 paper publishers are to be classed as crlm-
 inals because they advertise product which
 is notwithstanding and healthful, then
 laws will be laughed at the courts looked
 upon with derision and scorn, disrespect
 for law will become universal the strong
 will prey upon the weak, anarchy and chaos will reign and will be secure
