A Point for Americans.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 It is not unlikely that the voters of America soon will be facing the same problem that the Government of Finland is wrestling with now namely the framing of law to regulate instead of prohibit the of liquors. In that circumstance Americans cannot watch too closely the approach the Films are making to this extremely intricate problem.
 Foremost of all the factors which the Films sressng is the control of profits in the manufacture and distribution of liquor They are framing law that will permit the making and sale of alcoholic drinks without allowing any individual to profit. Profits such as they are, will revert to the State. It will be to ones advantage to encourage the consumption of liquor.
 The most important point has several advantages. By taking the profit motive out of the liquor traffic, it keeps the liquor traffic out of politics Likewise designed to prevent enrenched liquor interests from pressing liquor on individuals who cannot af- ford it or are likely to be demoralized by it. And it assures that all revenues from the business go to the public purse, where they can be used in the common welfare.
 In all the discussion of Prohibition repeal this point has been overlooked almost completely in America Yet it is the one factor which the sober thinking Amercan is most concerned about. It was not the abuse of liquor by consumers that brought Prohibition in America, but the abuse of power by the makers and sellers of liquor.
 Saney regulated alcoholic drinks can be gracious lubricant in the social life of the Nation But mere return of power liquor regulation to the individual StateS-an idea which has attracted many notable leaders-is not sufficient guarantee that will have regulation. It is time that protagonists of repeal awakened to this vital point

When candidates for party offices such Ma tional Committeeman and Delegates to the National Convention begin congsst the traffic it is usually the sign that the party honored is top dog. These offices pay no salaries and are expensive luxuries if they efficiently filled. There is little glory in them, but sometimes the encumbents are given seats in the patronage bandwagon. Hence their occasional popularity.

Watches His Step


 The question of what he will do to aid the drive of the insurgents against another Hoover nomination. is one which Borah himself is not yet prepared to answer.
 Hiram Johnson and all the others mentioned as insurgent candidates have stood with Borah on many issues. In 1920 Borah's voice was one of the most ins.5tent in favor of Johnson's nomina.Ion. just as in 1928 it was a power Ter Hoover.
 But there has been disagree ments, too, of kind well-known to all those on the inside in na- tional politics. The connection be- tween Johnson and Borah is looked upon by most politicians as one of those bonds upon which little ex- pectancy can be placed.
 Borah has put himself rather neatly in the attitude of having been able to step off the Hoover reservation without setting foot on any ones else.

to take sort of whimsical delight in keeping the politicians guessing.
 Much has been said, and truly, of the grec.1o effect of Secretary Melons declaration for Hoover just as the Kansas City convention was assembling in 1928.
 Many forgot there was time just prior to that when the Hoover managers were looking anxously toward an entirely different wing of the party, and then signing with relief when fully satisfactory re- ply was made to the question 'what will Borah do?"

What Will He Do?"

Then there is the question what he will do about the projected third party, if any.
 He refused to follow either Roosa- welt or La Toilette when they bolted, but there is no question ne has been listening to those who say neither the Republicans nor the Democrats can work out a west winning combination this year.
 He is listening, and considering, and sending his conferees away asking one another what will he do?"

JAIL SENTENCES
METED OUT TO
TURKEY THIEVES

Three very crestfallen negroes are
in the county jail today, and prob
ably will remain there for a quite
long period, since they we're sem
fenced by Judge I. Mayfield yes
terday afternoon TO six months each
for petty theft.
Only one ray OF sunshine ap-
peared through the lowering clouds
for the negroes. They found some
consolation in the fact they stole
turkeys instead of pig, or some
other form OF livestock.
Leo Williams, Ben Raymond and
Leonard Hicks are the negroes in
question. They pleaded guilty be-
fore Judge Mayfield yesterday af-
ternoon to stealing four turkeys
from the ranch Of V. z. Vincent
southwest Of FL Centro last Mon
day night.
It was when Judge Mayfield ex-
planned that theft of turkeys is a
misdemeanor and punishable by q
jail sentence, while theft of a hog
or any related four-footed animal
is a felony, and punishable by a
penitentiary sentence, that the ne
groes felt they wre not SO unlucky
at that.
The negroes explained to Judge
Mayfield that Hicks and Williams
took the turkeys from tree, while
Raymond stayed in the car and
waited for them. The three were
arrested by Roy Dupont, Ell Centro
officer, as they were driving into
town with the four turkeys.

vinced Harry and Jennings were

tempt TO arouse public prejudice
against them, by a series Of almost
daily interviews given to the press
by prosecuting officials.
Perjury Hinted
witnesses were produced ot the
trial with information in the hands
Of the prosecution that seriously
challenged the credibility OF the
witnesses, but this information was
deliberately concealed.
witnesses were permitted to
testify at the trials despite such
knowledge in possession of the pros
ecution of prior contradictory stor-
les told by these witnesses, as TO
make their mere production n
youching for perjured testimony.
witnesses were coached in their
testimony to q degree that approx
imated subordination of perjury
There is strong inference that
some OF this coaching was done by
prosecuting officials and other ev-
idence points to knowledge by the
prosecuting officials that such
coaching was being practiced on
other witnesses.
"The prejudice against the de-
PENDANTS, stimulated by newspaper
publicity, was further appealed to
at the trials by unfair and intem-
perate arguments to the jury in
the opening and closing statements
of the prosecuting attorneys.
After the trials. the disclosures
casting doubt on the justice of the
convictions were minimized, and
every attempt made to defeat the
liberation of the defendants by a
campaign of Misrepresentation and
propaganda carried on by the Off
cials who had prosecuted them"

they will make reasonable amends
for any damage done American
firms. Stimsons note clearly indi-
Gated to Japan that he expects 1t

TOXIC, Jan. 8. (u.P)-The cabi-
net of Premier Inukai, meeting to
consider American Secretary Stim-
sons note on the far eastern situ-
alton, submitted its resignation to
Emperor Hirohito today. It was
expected that the emperor, who
escaped an assassination plot while
the cabinet was in session, would
refuse to accept it.
American Ambassador w. CAM
eron Forbes delivered Secretary of
State Stimson's note on the Man.
churian situation to Acting For
eign Minister Nagai this afternoon.
A spokesman said the latest note
was similar to the note of May 12,
1915, and that therefore the pres
ent communication was considered
merely an identical continuation of
tn American policy. A conciliatory
attitude was foreseen.
The spokesman emphasized that
Japan intended TO make a direct
settlement with the Marking gov
eminent whenever Marking is
ready but that Japan considered
the important thing the question
OF japanese relations with the
Manchurian people.

to offer its resignation If any at

such as todays bombing in Toxic.

usually declines TO accept the res
ignation.

FEDERAL TOILERS
FOR FIVE-DAY WEEK

Washington.-The first convention
OF the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees, held here, adopted
legislative program which empha-
sizes the need for the five-day week
and an adequate and equitable lob
classification system for federal
workers.
The five points of the program are:
Restoration of pay and privileges
lost or reduced by operation of the
economy act.
Definite legislative extension of
proper job classification to the field
services in harmony with our affil-
lates insofar as the alternative of
wage board action for certain workers
may be deemed more desirable, and
wherever possible, strengthen classi-
fication already embodied in legisla-
ton or executive order. We oppose
enactments (such as that discriminat-
ing against married persons) which
violate sound principle of job classi-
fication.
Strengthen the provision of the
retirement act, especially in secur-
ing additional legislation to extend
further the optional features and to
improve the retirement annuities.
Support for application as it may
become possible within the govern.
ment service the fve-day week as
defined by the American Federation
of Labor, which is shortened work
week without loss of pay or equiva-
lent privilege.
Study and plan towards the intro
duction of legislation that will provide
employees representation on executive
bodies dealing with employment pol
icy and working conditions through
out the government service, including
employe representation on the civil
service commission.
