Governor PinchOt Indicts.
(New York Times.)


 Governor Pnchot called the Pennsylvania Gen. eral Assembly in special session It to do exactly what he told it and nothing else. He wanted it to spend S120O00000 It to levy taxes gaso- ne cigarettes blboards It to raise $35 900 by contributions for direct relief shadowiy to be repaid by the issue of prosperity bonds" The sum actually appropriated was less than $l9000.000. Of this $1O00OOOO is for direct relief. The bill for this purpose unconstitutional according to the Cover nor a>1d his Attorney General Its fate rests with the courts Such is the main product of seven weeks of wranging.
 One of the last things the General Assembly did was to vote down resolutions ordering the Public Service Commission to investigate public ut ity rates The Governor promptly addressed the people" The Republican State organization has "blackeneds Pennsylvania's good name It is re- sponsible for all the devltry and brutality of the Legislature
 I ndict the Republican State organiza-
 tion of Pennsylvania the enemy of the
 suffering people of the Commonwealth.
 The Governor forgets to say that he was slaught- cred in the house of his friends. It ate out of his hand at the regular session At the extraordinary session his former partisans deserted him. Does this suggest that the Pinchot relief projects may have been less perfect than their author? But, as he tells himself in his New Years address to the people: "If only you will refuse to be defeated nothing stop you" He refuses to be de- feated Nothing can stop him from calling another special session-and starting another row-if the bill for direct relief is declared invalid. That primaries. It may accomplish much for the relief at least of MT. Pinchot. The party of Lincoln and Roosevelt" and Pinchot needs leader.

A 12-YEAR OLD FAILURE.

National Prohibition in the United States ob- served January 18 its twelfth anniversary It is the most colossal statutory failure in the country htsory. It has achieved none of the great things promised it by its advocates before it's adoption The countrys vaunted prosperity from 1922 to 1929, claimed by ardent Prohibtonists to have its roots in the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, vanished almost overnight in 1929, and wiped out that argument completely It has robbed the tional treasury well the cash boxes of smaller governmental units of billions of dollars in taxes, cost the government unaccounted millions in direct appropriations for attempted enforcement of the Volstead Act enriched lawless element that defies city county State and national authorities, introduced new and powerful criminal factors in our national life. But it hasn't deprived any man. woman, or even child who wanted it of single drink.
 That is the record of Prohibition in the United States It did destroy the saloon, that was licensed and largely regulated which it's proponents promised it would do. But it substituted in its place the speakeasy, unlicensed unregulated, unchecked institution which Prohibitonists apparently prefer to permit to exist with all it's evils rather than to seek a remedy under other system of con- trol even though it might lead back to the road to temperance which Prohibition has blocked so effectively
 Senator Sheppard, co-author of the Eighteenth Amendment, speaking it's twelfth anniversary voiced the attitude of the fanatical Drys when he declared they would accept change in the present system. His assertion echoed the sentiment ex- pressed in December by delegates representing 42 temperance and Prohibition societies at a Washing ton gathering This assembly adopted resolution declaring
 We declare that vote by any member
 of Congress to submit either to State Leg
 isatures or to State Conventions any amend
 ment looking to the repeal or the weakening
 of the Eighteenth Amendment is to start
 the opponents of Prohibition half way toward
 their desired goal We unhesitatingly de-
 clare such vote to be wet vote
 Thus they reaffirm their determination to in- flict their will upon the country at any cost. They will deny the country the right to vote on the subject until two-thrds of the members of Con- gress are ready to vote to resubmit the question The declarations of such organizations as the Am erican Federation of Labor, the American Legion and the American Bar Association condemning the existing system and demanding change mean nothing to them This attitude is as unAmerican is national Prohibition itself.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION COST
 MORE.

The Chicago committee that obtained both Ma tional conventions for the Windy City headed by Mayor Cermak and Edward Hurley-both Demo- crats, but well supplied with the coin of the realm that talks powerfully to politicians. At that it cost them S50000 more to get their own Democratic than to get the Republican convention.
 But Democratic convention usually sticks around longer than Republican. The Democrats have more speeches to make and, frequently, more rows to fight out Therefore it is better show and worth more to the community. Also it costs the delegates more money

Business By Mail

ffS Business By Mail Summers argued that the Presi- , dent had no right to declare a moratorium without the consent of Congress given by Congress lin an orderly session. But enough Senators and Rep resentatives gave their consent by telegraph, telephone and mail" a Republican put in. To which Summers replied in his dry manner:
 + Since when has the business of |this great federal government been carried on by parcel post?' That phrase evidently struck home. It was heard repeatedly during the remainder of the mora 7 Ftorium debate in both House and Senate. t
 There were, of course, variations of the original Summers crack" ," McFadden of Pennsylvania in his widely-heralded speech expressed 1t:
 ' T do not record my votes as member of the House in tele- phone booth. .s And Hiram Johnson said he didn't record his votes by means of ia telegram.
 { Knows His Law
 Summers is admittedly one of the best constitutional lawyers in Congress. They listen to him when he speaks on subjects such as the moratorium, for they will all respect him among the first 10 most brilliant members of the House. ss He is bald, and of rather slight build. None of his friends is aware of the fact if he does anything but work.
 A bachelor, he lives in a private home with friends during sessions of Congress.
 He did attend the White House reception to the Judiciary the other of his rare ventures into Washington's social life.

THE "JOBLESS PARTY" AND
 FATHER COX.

Father James R. Cox, a Pittsburgh priest, is being boomed by the unemployed of that city for Presidential nomination presumably on behalf of new organizations "jobless' party. Until early this month. Father Cox was not even a name to all but few of the countrys 120000000 or more inhabitants. His talents known to few besides his parishioners in the Steel City.
 When he headed the march of 10000 jobless from Pennsylvania to the national capital to voice their demands for the right to work and make a living for themselves and their dependents he crashed into the front page headlines His follow efs were an orderly throng. He voiced their desire for employment in dignified He demon strated his big g-heartedness in many ways during the march and his ability to present when the objective reached
 Possibly Father Cox has the stuff needed for a successful chief executive of the nation But he has yet to demonstrate it to the overwhelming mass of voters They are as ignorant of his qualifications now as they were of the man himself a month ago
 AS for "jobless" party, the unemployed could take no more reckless step than to undertake to .olve their problem by making political capital

Seward Coal Bunkers.
Steward Gateway,

With the decision to erect coal bunkers in Sew ard as authorized yesterday at Washington D. C., by Secretary Wilbur of the Department of the h. terior the coal mining industry of Alaska as well as Seward and Anchorage, will benefit materially The action of the farsigted Secretary is acclaimed by all Alaskans and unquestionably will open up new fields for Alaska coal well as create new tonnage revenues for the Alaska Railroad.
 Colonel Otto F. Ohson, General Manager of the Alaska Railroad, has always been strong advocate for construction of coal bunkers in Seward when assured tonnage justified the expenditure which has been estimated at approximately $75,O00 and did not hesitate to support Alaska's Delegate to Con- gress James Wickersham, who recently introduced in the House of Representatives, Bill H.. R. 500 calling for such an appropriation for construction and maintenance.
 The Gateway in particular. is deeply gratified by the successful conclusion of this project for which it had edtorially advocated for seven years.

afternoon in a trial which ended

Betty Thompson pleaded guilty
to charge similar to those against
