And in the Name of Law!

President Hoover in his acceptance speech declared
that prohibition enforcement in unwilling sections has
meant "a spread Of disrespect not only for this law,
but for all laws, grave dangers of practical n~ullifica-
ton Of the Constitution, a degeneration in municipal
government, and an increase in subsidized crime and
violence"
In the same speech, discussing the same law,
President Hoover said: The first duty of the Presi-
dent of the United States is to enforce the laws as
they exist. That I shall continue to do to the ut
most Of my ability"
And the encouragement of the United States,
despite reductions in the federal prohibition staff die
tated by economy, now openly insists there must be
no relaxation of relentless enforcement.
Strange situation!
The federal government of this enlightened nation
must go on spending millions of dollars of taxpayers
money to enforce a law which admittedly spreads dis
respect for ali Jaw, which admittedly encourage multi
fcation of tb< Constitution, which admittedly demor-
allies local governments, which admittedly increases
subsidized crime!
A people heavily burdened with taxation, fighting
depression, nevertheless must furnish it's government
funds with which to undermine and weaken further
both government and law!
And this for a law the repeal of which would
tighten the tax burden by 81, $780, 900. OOO!
Could there be more compelling. argument for the
end of prohibition as swift and sure as congress can
make it by modification of the Volstead act and by
starting the process of repeating the eighteenth
amendment?
Would even a special session of congress be un-
warranted to stop such intolerable perversion of ma
tional purpose and effort, such worse than waste of
taxpayers dollars?
Needlessly to prolong a law which is an admitted
menace to law is not reason, but madness.
No civilized nation goes on deliberately poisoning
its own national life after it has recognized the poison.

To Federal Judges

The gentlemen who have been singing hosannas
clarifying Judge James H. Wilkerson as a fearless
fighter Of r~acketeers are left on a particularly pre-
carious limb by the promotion Of George E. G. John
son, federal district attorney in Chicago, to the
federal bench.
It was johnson who decided originally that the
governments case against Al Capone was so shaky
because of missing witnesses, that a plea Of guilty,
with recommendation for a short sentence, might
be the safest way of sending him to jail.
With this decision, the encouragement of the
United States, and the assistant secretary y of treasury
in charge of revenue, concurred. The plan was laid
before Judge Wilkerson, who found no 1ault with it.
Then Capone talked and Wilkerson grew angry.
Capone went to trial, Johnson convicted him, WIKI
erson sentenced him to eleven years. And the attempt
began to convince the United States senate that
Wilkerson was such an outstanding foe of racketeering
that to reject his nomination for the circuit court,
on account OF his labor injunction and receivership
records, would be to strike a death blow at law and
order.
If Wilkerson is all his friends paint him, where
does that leave Johnson when he comes before the
senate for confirmation? And if the senate con-
siders Johnsons part in the Capone prosecution and
finds it praiseworthy, and in no sense a detriment
TO law and order, where does that leave Wilkerson?
And what can be said of the fact that the same
President has selected both these men for promo
ton, seeking to place Johnson in the very position
Wilkerson is said to have filled so courageously?
AS a matter of fact, johnson probably will have
little difficulty obtaining senate approval. Organized
labor, which has fought its enemy Wilkerson so
effectively, is friendly to Johnson.
The issue of law enforcement, which was Wilker-
sons last line Of defense, probably will not be raised
in connection with Johnson's confirmation. But it is
hard to see how it can fail to rise up and confound
Wilkerson, when he comes up once more for consid-
Grafton.

MOIliSOn

Five years ago, in the hectic "Lindbergh summer"
of 1927, most any one would have predicted that
within five years a flight across the ocean would be
too common to make tho front page.
But such is not the case. James A. MoIison Fri
day flew from Ireland to America, the first solo east
lowest crossing, and it was front page news. Trans
oceanic flying hasn't progressed as far as those who
looked through rose-colored glasses in 1927 expected.
The reason? There have been too many Monisons
and too few Gronaus. Too many stunt flights, and
too few studied, cautious crossings. Too many hops
for fame and too few for scientific progress.
Mollison, like dozens of others before HIM, flew
thousands of miles over water in a land plane, and
without radio. It was ridiculously courageous. We
all, of course, admire courage. Even the courage of
a man who fights a buzz saw. But ..
Molison already has done his share in the real
advancement of aviation. His speed flights in light
planes from London to Australia and from London
to Capetown helped wear in" trails that before long
daily will know the roar of regularly scheduled air
liners.
But his flight across the Atlantic wasn't so worthy.
The most sensible thing about it, it seems to us, was
his remark, upon landing in New Brunswick, that he
had come down because he was tired"

Just Every Day Sense

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

AHORTALSN and especially married women, are
1VA prone to error as the sparks fly upward. A
good many of them ruin their lives because they lack
sufficient imagination and humility.
Many a wife, for instance, vigorously will oppose a
husbands continuing his male friendship and will
sniff malevolently at his favorite hobby.
And thus she almost invariably will begin the de-
struction of their existence together, and when her
marriage fails she will be the first to cry out at the
cruelty OF fate.
The truth is that most of us are responsible for
our unhappiness. Therein lies the tragedy of life
and marriage We set the snareS that e~ntangle; We
place the traps that cause our downfall.
A man does not change his nature when he takes
a wife. And no error a woman can commit is so
great as that which is prompted by her conceit when
she insists that her husband should be glad to relin-
quish the world for her sake.
IT is incomprehenSible that a woman could de-
Il mand. much less really desire, such a sacrifice.
Sensible ones. I am convinced, never DO. But, unfor-
tunately, we still have a good many foolish females in
the land.
And these are they who want a husband trotting
at their heels every leisure moment. They find it in
conceivable that their companionship might not al
ways be entertaining and exciting. Although they
may become bored with their husbands, they can not
understand how a husband could be bored with them.
And If there is any mystery about our sex, this
is 1t: This continual assumption that a wife-any
kind of a wife-can take the place of play and friends
and hobbies with a man.
Marriage has become a symbol of slavery because
OF such attitude on the part of women. Men hest
tate to marry because they have watched this tyr
amy exercised over their acquaintance.
The friendship of men is one of the most beauti-
ful of human relationships. A woman who deliber-
ately sets about to break such a bond is a sort Of
spiritual murderer.

Political Auctions

Political campaign chests still are untitled, though
the presidential race is well under way, and this
encourages a hope that perhaps money will not be
the deciding factor in this years election.
1t is possible that because rich men are not so
rich this year, the candidates may not be indebted
at the end to a few overgenerous contributors, and
may not feel it necessary to dole out rewards in the
shape Of tariff rates. ambassadorships, or other spe-
cial privileges.
There are, Of course, many legitimate expenditures
in connection with all campaigns. If the national
committees did nothing more than print and dis
tribute their party platforms for the information
of voters, the cost would be heavy.
However, 1t is hard to see any Justification for
campaigns costing $4,000. 900, as did those of 1928;
end the record Of the past, showing that in every
campaign but one the man who spent the most
money was elected, leads to cynical speculation.
Even If the depression brings about temporary inn
provcment in campaign policies, if both parties stick
to their promise to spend no more than ~$l,500,000
each, and if they obtain these sums in modest con-

Social Disorder

We have been freer these hard times from strikes
and lockouts and all forms of social disorder than
even in normal times, according to President Hoover.
Strikes and lockouts, it is true, have been COM
p%aratively rare, with one marked exception-the coal
war. In Kentucky more than a dozen men have
been killed and five miners convicted of murder con-
spiracy.
In Illinois, 10000 miners are massing at Taylor
vile, while troops are held in readiness to dispense
them. In West Virginia, mine guards Just have fired
on strikers, killing one and w~ounding several. In In
diana, Ohio and Arkansas, militia has been called
to quell mine disturbances. The strikes, f~ar-fung
and bitter, have resulted from intolerable mine con-
dttions.
In congress, repeated demands have been made
for federal Investigation and regulation. Hoover has
given no NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. such conditions exist.
The Presidents statement that all forms of social
disorder have been less than normal is challenged
by the facts. The recent army rout by tank, torch,
and bayonet Of unarned veterans encamped al Wash
ington was a wanton and disastrous social disorder.
Compared with Madrid, whose Spanish police, I'M
aided by troops, recently stopped a real revolutionary
movement, Washingtons display of fear and force
makes us appear ridiculous to the world.
There have been other officially perpetrsted dis
orders, clubbing, casing, and shooting of unarmed
iobless citizens in other cities, such as Dearborn and
Los Angeles.
In ignoring the causes of the coal wars and in
the il-conce1ved assault upon the veterans, the fed
eral government has given a poor example to states
and cities.
Both the President and Vice-President, in recent
speeches, have invoked the fundamental traditions
of the American people. Basic 70 these traditions
are the rights of peaceful assemblage and protest.

Policy Based Oh Errors

kept for damage claims which
II American citizens or corpora
tons have made against Russia, and
which amount to approximately
$500, 000, 900, and a government claim
which amounts to 500, 900. 900 plus
interest, there is no reason why our
relations with Russia should not be
regular and normal.
Had we tried as hard to reach a
settlement with her as we have with
most other countries, there is no
reason to suppose the controversy
still would be hanging fire.
Our policy toward Russia has
been based on two erroneous as
sumptions-flrst, that her form of
government couldn't last. Second,
that it vas unfit to deal with if it
did last.
These assumptions we're not only
false in fact, but equally so in prin-
ciple. Nothing in our displomatic
history warrants the refusal to rec
ognize an established government
because of the belief on anybody's
part that is can't last.
Neither was this republic founded
on the idea that it had the right to
classify a government as unfit
against the will and wishes of the
people who were content to live I'M
der it.
Had the United States refused to
recognize governments because they
failed to conform to her ideas of
what governments should be, she
would have had few friends during
the nineteenth century, because the
vast majority we're either monarch
les or absolutiSms.

In addition to not obtaining pos

Sticks to Own Knitting

NTHER circumstancesha have
~ helped to clear our minds re-
garding the place this new, vitalized
Russia is likely to occupy in the
family of nations. Among them may
be mentioned the Sino-JapaneSe sit
uatiOn, which would be far more
threatening than it is but for Rus
sia's interest and attitude.
Of equal Importance is Russia's
manifest willingness to drop the idea
of fomenting revolution in other
lands. Whether that idea ever
played such a dominating part in
her foreign policy as some believed,
her pacific attitude toward Far
Eastern events eliminates it as
reasonable ground for suspicion.
BY attending to her own business.
paying her bills, and refusing to
scratch ri spots, Russia has con-
vinced most fair-minded people
that she is neither a cheat, nor a
d%isturber.
BY participating in peace con-
ferences and expressing readiness to
meet the world more than half way
in disarmament, she has persuaded
them that she wishes no country i'll
and that her real desire is to i'm
prove the condition of her own
people.

A CTORS' EQUITY wants Uncle
IA Sam to go in the show bust
ness. In the current issue of it's
magazine, the theatrical union
points out, logically enough. that
the government which undertakes
to help the farmers, might just as
we'll lend a hand to the struggling
actor.
1T may be objected" says the
editorial, that the theater is a haz-
ardous field bordering on the spec
ulative.
Could anything be more specula-
tive than farm products? They
are dependent upon the vagaries Of
unpredictable wealth, at the mercy
of insects and blights, and the prices
they may bring never can be cal
culated in advance.
"Yet the government has poured
a great deal of money into the pro-
ducing, carrying and marketing of
these products"
Now, it is quite possible that
many analogies may be made be-
tween corr and chorus girls, TevueS
and radishes, buckwheat and bur-
lesque. Indeed, I think the only err
ror in the Equity argument is the
tendency to note differences be-
tween the sheaves and the Shuberts.
