PREVENTING REFERENDUM

NONE OF those who fought to establish the
referendum clause in the Constitution of
Ohio ever imagined it would be put to such
use as the Anti-Saloon League of that state
now proposes.
The purpose of the referendum procedure
is to provide means for the free expression of
the popular will. Yet the sole purpose of the
referendum petitions submitted at Columbus
by the drys is to prevent an expression of the
popular will
The legislature provided for an expression
OF the popular will of Ohio on the question of
repeating the eighteenth amendment to the
federal Constitution. The enabling act set uu
an enlinently fair test. 1t provides for the
election to a state convention of delegates
chosen at large.
The delegates were to be presented in
States favoring repeal opposing repeal and Of
such a slate should offer ITSELF one not COM
nlitted either way
Wednesday the Anti-Saloon League of Ohm
filed petition containing 254.oO0 signatures
calling for referendum on the enabling act
itself. The referendum on the enabling act
can not be voted on until the November cleo
ton.
This they hope, will force postponement
OF the election of convention until a. later
date Meanwhile, the authority for calling
the convention would have expired, and the
process would have to be done all over again.
some vets believe it would be legal to pro-
coed with the election of delegates next No.
vemoer at the same election at which the
referendum vote on the enabling act would be
held.
II the enabling act were repudiated. the
election OF delegates would be declared void.
otherwise it would stand.

ROOTS OF THE EVIL

THE sudden increase in major crimes, as
evidenced by the kidnapping of st. Paul
brewer and the massacre of four officers and
convict in Kansas City, is an alarming sign.
But in many respects, it is natural trend
in American life. 1t is the outgrowth of our
foolish attempts to enforce prohibition and
the alliance between crime and politics exist
ing today in most of our larger cities.
That does not mean that we should sit back
and regard such crimes as inevitable and
therefore, unstoppable. Instead, we should
redoube our efforts to remove the cause of
these crimes, the root of the evil.
Prohibition has had more to do with the
upward trend in crime than any other
development in American public life It made
the bootlegger a friendly ally of the public,
instead of the enemy he should have been.
1t made drinking a forbidden fruit, and
therefore, desirable It undermined our ma
tional respect for law and order
Along with prohibition came widespread
alliances between police and criminals. In
Chicago. in New York, in dozens of other
cities, the underworld operated as an open ally
OF the reigning political machine.
1t helped to stuff ballot boxes on election
days; it paid fat sums into the war chests of
political organizations; it bribed policemen
and other officials to overlook its criminal
deeds
This, in turn, led to the disintegration of
police forces everywhere Instead of police
men, we began to have politicians, men who
could bring in votes on election day. 1t be-
came almost impossible for honest and hard
working officers to win promotions on merit.
Instead, such promotions were made solely
on a basis Of the officers political value to the
reigning organization.
The return of legal beer and the approach
ing end Of prohibition, however, radically has
changed the picture. Instead of wildcat
brewers and beer racketeers, April saw the
comeback of legitimate industry ruled by
honest business men.
That meant that thousands of racketeers;,
who had lived by violating an unpopular law,
had to find something else to do. A few
returned to honest occupations But the ma
jority turned to other rackets and forms of
crime.
Thus, today we have an epidemic Of kid
napings, of holdups and of murders And in
stead of alert and honest policemen, we must
fight these gangsters and racketeers with
politicians in policemen's uniforms.
Only two remedies are evident for these
alarming conditions. One is to speed repeal
of prohibition and thus complete the collapse
OF racketeer industry that the return of beer
started
The other is to overthrow political ma
chimes that are allied with the underworld
and thus place the police forces of our cities
on the basis of efficiency that they should be.

OUR NEW DIPLOMACY

A CTION of the government and revolu-
tionary factions in Cuba in agreeing to
accept United States Ambassador Sumner
Welles as mediator of Cuban political diff
culties indicates that there are more ways
than one Of intervening in troubled Latin
American situation.
For many months it has been common
knowledge that the Cuban situation was highly
explosive, and that some sort of outside action
would be necessary before the trouble could
be smoothed out.
The traditional way to settle things would
have been to send down a cruiser or two,
land flock Of marines, throw all protesting
Cubans in the jug-and, incidentally, arouse
a lot of Latin American i'll will.
This way seems to be just as effective and
lots pleasanter. One ambassador empowered
to take decisive action and gifted with a bit
of tact and insight, seems about as good as
battalion of Marines

THE TWO ROOSEVELTS

IF anything were needed to prove that Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt belongs to the
same family as the former President Theodore
Roosevelt, you could find it easily enough by
examining the Rooseveltian method of taking
vacation.
There seems to be just one word to de-
scribe the Rooseveltian attitude toward recre-
ation-gusto.
Teddy Roosevelt showed it constantly.
Whether he was hunting in the far west,
roughing it on the plains or trailing big game
through Africa, he never left any one in any
,doubt that he was thoroughly enjoying every
minute of it.
= And you need only read the accounts of
Franklin Roosevelts trip on that little yacht
to realize that he, too, gets tremendous soul
satisfying kick out of his recreation.
The ability to throw ones self whole
heartedly into play in that way is tremend-
ously valuable asset. AS far as we can see,
just about every member of the various Roose-
yet families seems to have it in abundance

FRIDAY. JUNE %. 1888.
REPEAL WON'T END RACKET

CONGRESS appoints committee to inves-
~ tigate the racketeering evil and imme-
diately afterward gangsters shoot down four
peace officers in a busy part of Kansas City
thereby proving that congress in its wisdom
acted none too soon.
We have been scandalized by our rack
eteers for a good many years but so far we
have done nothing whatever to put them out
of existence, and we hardly even have been
able to get alarmed greatly about them.
This, perhaps was due partly to the fact
that we had good alibi-prohibition. When
ever any city displayed peculiarly ugly mani
festation of underworld insolence, we could
lay the whole thing to the eighteenth amend
ment, shake our heads sadly over the evils Of
prohibition, and let it go at that.
But unless all signs fail, we are about to
lose our alibi and it will be interesting to see
what we do about the racketeer thereafter.
One would have to have child-like faith
and an unquestioning optimism to believe that
racketeering automatically will cease the mo-
ment the eighteenth amendment is repealed
IT, of course, it actually is repealed.
The dry law has given aid and comfort to
the racketeer, unquestionably but it didn't
call him into existence and he won't vanish
when it vanishes.
What we must face is simply the fact that
the underworld has discovered, during the
past dozen years, that organized society often
is helpless before daring and ruthless GRIM
: inals.
This is partly due to an Anticipated and
cumbersome legal system which gives the
criminal much more than an even break when
he is charged with crime. 1t is partly due
to disorganized politics-ridden police system
which puts every city under terrific handicaps
in it's fight on crime
1t is partly due to the automobile, which
has given the criminal new mobility. 1t is
partly due to the traditional corruption and
inefflciency which pervade almost. every large
city's government from top to bottom.
\, These are the points on which the congress
sional committee must give us a lot of detailed
information
The time for disnissing all evils of rack
eteeting with the airy remark that it's all
due to prohibition is about over
1t is up to us now to roll up our sleeves,
find out just exactly how and why the under
world is what it is, and do something to rem
: edy matters.

their codes the promise to curb the destruc-
ton now permitted in the forests
These industries need the governments aid,
its credit, its fire protection facilities, its con-
sideration in tax matters. its permission TO
stabilize production through agreements
1t will be interesting to see whether they
have the craftsmanship and enlightened self
interest to conserve and stabilize at the same
time. If they do not the public we'll may ask:
Why aid an industry that seems bent on
determination?
We commend to the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association and its affiliated
interests consideration Of the rare oppor-
tunity they now have to win government aid
in stabilization-the salvation of their own van
ishing wealth and public favor.

culties probably are taking the least chance
of any.
The very fact that they are gambling, in
deed, is one Of the things that can help their
marriage to be happy. To struggle together,
to endure hardships together, to be brave
together in the face Of hostile world-isnt
that Of the very essence Of young love?
The young married couples Of 1888 may
have fewer automobiles, fewer summer vaca-
tons, fewer suburban houses and fewer gay
parties than those Of 1929 did; but it is a
fairly safe bet, too, that they will make fewer
trips to Reno.

ROMANCE COMES BACK

eS1THE story of the rich girl who marries
- the poor boy is always popular; especially
: 80, no doubt, in these days, when rich girls
are comparatively few and poor boys are ex-
tremely numerous.
And the recent news that the daughter of
rich Minneapolis flour magnate is marrying
young assistant. librarian at Yale, and is
going to live with him on his $45 a week
salary, is one of the most appealing little Incl
dents of the spring.
1t is appealing not only because it falls in
the old romantic tradition. 1t seems, some
how, to point moral, to underline lesson,
for whole era.
81 During the boom years great many young
) people got the notion that marriage was a
thing to be attempted only if the young hus-
band-to-be had laid away good supply of
ready cash.
A lot of young women felt that their huS-
bands ought to be able to support them in
the style to which they were accustomed: a
lot of young men felt that it was perfectly
natural and right for the girls to feel this
way.

A Woman's Viewpoint

A YOUNG man has found a
L n sweetheart who is SO per cent
perfect. Nevertheless, he is consid-
erably worried about that one per
cent deficiency. It seems that the
young lady frequently sides with
her family against him in a general
argument, and so he is somewhat
dubious about going through with
the wedding.
Good gracious, my lad, what do
you expect of frail femininity? Go
on and marry the girl. And don't
cultivate the attitude that a wife
is duty bound to agree with her
husband on every subject.
That theory has ruined more ex-
cellent men than anything I know.
Why should we take it for granted
that because you love a person you

license permits a person to drive

operators of trackless trolley buses

I believe they are and drivers
