COMMITTEE TO INvESTI-
GATE ROAD METHODS

Acting on the suggestion of How
ard Bruce and John K. Shaw, for
mer members of the State Roads
Commission, Governor Richie has
appointed committee to investigate
the administrative methods of the
commission since 1928.
Mr.. Bruce and Mr.. Shaw invited
the Governor to have survey made
of the organization they had worked
to build up after the State roads
scandal. The request was made in
a statement issued by Mr.. Bruce in
answer to criticisms leveled at the
commission since the recent revela-
ton that Montgomery county, over
period of six years, had been allowed
to accumulate $50, 600 debt against
the roads body.
The Governor named John j. Nell
ligan, president of Safe Deposit and
Trust Co.; VIM. J. Casey, chair
man of the commission on Govern
mental Efficiency and Economy; G..
C. Croggen, certified accountant;
Johu J. Ekin, comptroller of the B.
and o. railroad; VIM. Schmidt, Jr.,
treasurer of the Gas G Electric Co.
Mr.. Bruce and Mr.. Shaw resigned
recently from the commission, of
which G.. Clinton Uhl is the chair
man. E. Brooke Lee and Robt, Lacy
succeeded them May IL and at that
meeting Montgomery county erased
its debt to the commission with a
check for approximately $275, 600
and by crediting its 1881 road alloca-
ton to the balance.

NOT A GOOD MORAL CHAR
ACTER

A proposition which may have
been perfectly obvious to three
fourths of the people sometimes
becomes news wheu a court takes
judicial knowledge" of it and pro-
pounds it from the bench. So it is
with the decision of the District of
Columbia Court of Appeals that a
person violating the prohibition law
is not of good moral character. But
the decision may give some added
weight to the point with those to
whom hitherto it has not been so
obvious as it should be.
For example, the incident might
well put quietus to the expression,
IAN honest bootlegger." The COM
ment of the court makes it clear that
no bootlegger is being honest with
his country; and there is at least a
question whether he is being honest
with his customer or with himself
when he takes good money for that
which can do only harm.
The immediate application of the
ruling was to cancel the naturaliza-
ton of man who had obtained
citizenship after several violations OF
the liquor law. The decision may
prove a useful precedent in leading
thus to the deportation of certain
lawbreakers. But it as richly de-
serves an audience among the native
born as among those on the door
step of naturalization.
Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel said
in handing down the opinion:
"Any person who violates the
provions of the Prohibition Act VOL
ates the principles of the Constitution
of the United States, and cannot be
held to be attached to the principles
OF the Constitution. Nor can it be
said that such person possesses
good moral character. -
This should be taken to heart by
some who like to count themselves
as being among 'the best citizens"
or as being 100 per cent Ameri-
cans. Christian Science Monitor.

A resolution, demanding prohibi-
ton enforcement planks in the plat
forms of both major political parties
and pledging earnest support to
President Hoover in his dry policies,
was passed Friday at the annual
meeting of the board of trustees of
the Anti-Saloon League OF Maryland.
The board reelected George w.
Crabbe superintendent of the League
for another year.
In the preamble to the resolution
the board praised Amos w. W..
Woodcock for his work as Director
of Prohibition and declared that the
league 'hopes with confidence" that
Simon E. Sobeloff, who succeeded
Mr.. WoDdcock as United States
District Attorney, Twill continue the
Woodcock efficiency in our local
area"
The resolution also asserted that
the immediate business of the league
was ''to seek improved efficiency
in enforcement and education for the
progressive observance of the law"
IA peril impends in the attempt of
Chairman Raskob and the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment to write wet plank into the
Democratic platform, the resolution
said. ''Our business is to encour-
age the dry Democrats to a successful
opposition to this propaganda"
The observance and enforcement
of the law is the only way to solve
the liquor problem, the resolution
stated, continuing that any change in
the law would be sure to bring back
the saloon and conditions similar to
those before prohibition.

Saturday is Memorial Day, one Of
our most sacred National days. Or
iginally dedicated to the memory of
those who paid the supreme sacrifice
that our Nation should not perish, let
us pause in reverence for its proper
observance.
Gradually the beautiful custom has
extended to the paying of tribute not
alone to soldier dead, but to all our
loved ones who have gone before,
visiting the graves of those as well
on this day, in reverence, "a day
indeed when the living pay tribute
to the dead.
This is as it should be, for each
person in his or her way, has part
in the growth of the Nation, is COM
PEELED to face handicaps, make
sacrifices.
So let us remember and honor all
of those who have gone before, and
make the day an occasion for a visit
to the graves not only Of the soldier
dead, but all of those whom we have
loved or admired, who have depart
ed this life, as they have all played
their part, great or small, in the
act of carrying on in this world
of ours.

LIVING MEMORIALS

A three-hundred- year-old tree in a
church burying ground at Falls
Church, Virginia, has been selected
by the Daughters of the American
Revolution as the second living
memorial of Americas past to be
preserved for posterity.
The National Society of the D. A.
r. has embarked upon plan OF
choosing one historic tree for pres
ervation each year by means of a
nationwide referendum through its
state chapters. The trees are saved
by tree surgeons, whose services are
donated by former Congressman
Martin L. Davey, head of the Davey
Institute of Tree Surgery.
The tree at Falls Church, a tulip
poplar with a foliage spread of rs
feet, has looked down upon more
than three centuries of American
history. 1t was more than 100 years
old when George Washington,
yestryman of the church, rested in
its shade.
In recent years the church has
been restored and today is a replica
Of that in which Washington wor-
shipped. Located on the Lee high
way six miles south of the Key
bridge in this city, it is Mecca for
visitors who come every year from
all parts Of the nation,

SELL Low BUT
BUY AT HIGH PRICES

Not since late 1920 has the
farmer sold and bought on the
same price level, and the ten
years. maladjustment, econ
omists say, is largely respon-
sible for the nations lack of
economic stability.
The handicap under which
the farmer labors is graphically
shown in a recent tabulation by
the department Of agriculture
showing that the prices of farm
products are now 10 per cent
below the prewar level, while
the prices of the things the
farmer buys are 80 per cent
above that level.
Forty millions of the Ameri-
can population depend on the
soil for a livelihood, and the
degree of prosperity enjoyed by
agriculture still goes a long
way in fixing the general state
Of business throughout the
country.
The independence Of indus
try and agriculture never was
more evident. The trend to-
ward more intense specializa-
ton in crops has led the farmer
away from his isolated indie
penence. Less Investigation
means that the farmer not only
buys everything that he uses
in his work, but also much of
his own food.
So long, economists say, as
one-third Of the population is
dependent on the cash yield of
the. farm for what it buys at the
store and the factory no recov-
cry or readjustment is possible
unless it embraces as one Of its
fundamentals the placing of
the farmer where he can buy
and sell on the same level.

KEEPING THE DRAW

Evangelist John Moses Baker

John Wright was the draw
bridge keeper.
He was always faithful and
true.
All the boats coming down the
river,
John would see that they
passed through.
Always on duty, his watchword,
Every hour of the night and
the day;
At the sound of the horn that
was blowing,
To the draw he would hasten
away.
In a house by the side OF the
river,
John lived with his faithful
wife.
They were happy, contented
and joyful,
And knew no contention or
strife.
| believe when life's journey is
over,
If we only keep to the task,
Like John, the draw bridge
keeper,
This is all that the King will
ask.
