JUST POOR SPORTSMANSHIP.

Prohibitionists have revealed that they hoped block repeal by contesting legality of State con ventions in which repeal had been ratified by dele gates elected at large. This move is based on decision of the Supreme Court of Maine that dele gates must be elected by districts. The dry chal lenge was directed specifically at New York an New Jersey. Canon Chase outlined the reasonin under which delegate -at-large conventions are t be challenged.

 The Supreme Court of Maine in reply to an inquiry from the State Senate of that State said: "In every constitutional con- vention of which we have knowledge dele gates have been chosen not at large, but from the various localities within the State By this method the requirement has been met that the members of the body selected to make notifications of the fundamental law should fairly represent the people whom they serve.

What About the Saloons?
tDaily Journal of Commerce, Seattle

CDaily Journal of Commerce, Seatte) The pendulum swings and the Eighteenth Amend ment is doomed. In a few weeks, months, hard liquor will be here again. What is being done to regulate traffic that certainly requires regula- tion? The "wets" have consistently and vocferously admitted that the old-time saloon curse, a cesspool of corruption and something America was well rid of in their opinion. The "drys" went too far in their advocacy of temperance and brought about Prohibition and in it's wake all manner of crime, disrespect of law and attendant ills. Even the word Prohibition and is distasteful to of the old contention that the most difficult thing in the world is for our people to keep to the mid dle of the road. It is, and usually has been a feast or a famine with us Our tendency is to go to extremes, and now headed for the reverse of temperance With crime the industry it now is in this country, flood of hard liquor will result in serious situation unless steps are taken with
 respect to it's control And those steps should not be toward the goal to which beer regulations have been directed that of revenue production only.
 The way is paved for the open saloon There is
 no legislation in effect permitting proper con-
 tro of liquor, and unless such legislation is enacted, chaotic conditions will result
 l Plans should be in process of formulation
 as to the best method of controlling liquor traffic
 Many of have vivid recollection of conditions
 that caused thousands of people who might have
 been classed as "wets' to vote with the "drys" in
 rasing the bars against all liquor. Unless take
 steps to regulate hard liquor-steps that recognize
 the moral problem involved-we may again find a
 situation similar to that above referred to in effect Shall we have Government liquor stores2 Shall
 we have a permit system? Or shall we simply let
 matters drift until even those now clamoring for
 hard liquor become disgusted with conditions
 that they will force the pendulum back in another
 mpotent attempt to make the country bone dry?

Today and Tomorro,v
Reform in the Stock Exchange
By WALTER LIPPMANN

part played by the exchange in the bull speculation of 1929, the testimony ran as follows
 Q-Led by the New York Stock Exchange?
 Al deny that, sir.
 Q-It does not lead anything?
 At is market place.
 On this theory the duties of the officers of the exchange would be, confined to providing an orderly and honest market. But the in- dubitable truth is that the Stock Exchange is more than a market place. It is a guild of brokerage houses who, in times of public par ticipation, are for all practical purposes investment or speculative advisers to the owners of Securl- ties. The responsibilities of this relationship cannot be sloughed off. It is fiduciary relation ship, and therefore it has be- come imperative that the exchange, as corporate body, should have standards and should enforce them, which will protect the pub lie against rigging manipulation and ignorance Under modern con- ditions of corporate finance indus try draws upon the savings of a multitude of people. In the na- ture of things this multitude can- not have the knowledge necessary to make prudent investment. That knowledge must be supplied by intermediates who are oblig- ed to defend the savings of their clients.
 The question is whether the eX- change and the brokers who com pose it will accept this obliga- tion. If they will not, then the government will have to impose it from the outside. There is no other alternative. The days when the Stock Exchange could regard itself solely as a market place are as irrevocable ash the days when railroads could be regarded as a wholly private possession of thelr promoters. The question as to how far public regulation of pub lie institution like the Stock Ex- change is to be carried is now solely a question of how prompt ly and how effectively the ex- change regulates itself.
 My own conception is that the exchange has about six months in which to show what it can and will do by way of erecting new fiduciary standards and or organ izing itself to enforce them. say six months, because at the end of that time Congress will again be in session, and if the eX- change is not demOnstrably re- formed by that time, it will be the duty of the Administration to propose plan of reform Longer than that it is not possl- ble to wait for convincing evi- dence of change because as re- covery proceeds, the nation must not be subjected to the risk of wild bull market like the one which, happily, has just been in terrupted.
 It is to be nopeG, therefore, that the reforms which have been in- stituted by the governors of the exchange are to be regarded as recognition of new duty, and therefore as the beginning rather than as the fulfillment of a new policy. If it is, the governors will be doing nothing more than that which the most obvious horse sense requires, and if among their members and their members clien- tel, they find some who think these measures too radical or too incorfvenient, they should tell them that it is no good trying to sleep past the zero hour.
