about many things. sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes 1ippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

The Ides of March approach and,
because long ago we were all warned
to beware said Ides, there is more or
less of general tendency to go jit-
terry in contemplation. Usually there
is nothing to get jittery about.
1t isn't the Ides that bother Amer
leans today. It's the we'll known
Fourth of March that gets them all
hot and bothered. The Fourth of
March this year brings along change
of government, or change in gov
ernment as the case may be.
There is a lot of hope that this
change will work wonders and make
for new condition of prosperity and
happiness. This is a consummation
devoutly to be hoped for.
Plenty has been promised. If any
sizable portion of the promising turns
into reality, there will be songs sung,
praises poured forth and the sun
shine of many smiles will illuminate
the landscape.
Much can be done. But let us get
all set in advance not to expect any
miracles. They will not happen.
Just why nation that is so largely
industrial, that has within it's indus
try so high degree of organization
for self-regulation and self promotion
and that has throughout it's history
SO strenuously objected to the intru-
sion of government, should look with
such complete and child-like faith
upon government all at once is some
thing that rather befuddles the inn
agination.
But, even though we have, as a
nation, certain ingrained notions and
characteristics, we do nevertheless,
rush to embrace new notions and new
programs Having tried them, finding
they do not work, we then return to
the old, not chastened, but wiser at
times.
There is always some community
that will give rain-maker a chance
1t adds to the gayety of life. It
provides the thrill of adventure.
However, always we come staring
back at the question: If the great
minds" are so wise in days of pros
perity, where is their wisdom in time
of adversely?
And the further question: Why can
we not SO organize this industry of
ours as to bring about within it and
out of its own strength, the remedial
action necessary to return of we'll
being?
Labor has long urged the extension
of organization within industry so
that complete self f-control might be
achieved. The great minds" have
been willing to measurably organize
themselves, while denying to the
wage earners the same right. AS
long as they stand in that position
there will be trouble and industry
will periodically have to go yelling
for help.
But it should remember this: If it
accepts the help, supervision or guild
ance of government in time of adver-
sity, it must not expect to shake it
off after the wreckage has been clear
ed away. Perhaps it forgets that
fact. The rest of us will not.
The Ides of March, the Fourth of
March, or what have you, may bring
great changes this year. Something
had better bring them!

BANK APPEAL

Col. Wade H. Cooper will carry
to the Court of Appeals his fight
to compel the Treasury to re-
license the United States Savings
Bank if the decision of District
Supreme Court Justice Jennings
Bailey is against him, he an
nounced in a written statement
today as counsel began final ar
gumnts in tn suit.
Early during the arguments JUS
tice Bailey warned John w. Stag
gers and w. Bissell Thomas,
Colonel Cooper's counsel:
"The court only has power to
enjOin. 1 do not know of any
case where the court has Substi-
tuted its decision for that of an
executive officer"
1t is the claim of the Treasury,
through Attorney George P. Barse,
that the Comptroller has the sole
authority to determine the in
solvency of a bank and the courts
are without power to interfere.

you only 500 francs and are as good as

but l wonder whether the government,
which began them for more or less
charitable purposes of pensions and re-
lief, has counted the cost carefully.
The idea of winning a great deal of
money is pleasant, and the fact that
you have not won any money whatever
is a goad to working and saving so that
you may get into the next lottery. But
somehow the picture of the wise, steady,

to be altered if these lotteries keep up.

Speedy action on the District
liquor control law was forecast
today by Representative Mary T,

man of the House District Com
mittee.
Mrs. Norton said she expects
to confer with Speaker Henry T.
Rainey within the next few days
with a view to obtaining House
leadership backing for speedy &C
ton on the measure.
To Hold No Hearings
In order to expedite passage of
the bill, the committee will hold
no hearings, she announced.
If hearings were held so many
witnesses would demand to be
heard that it would result in long
delay, she feels, and speed is es-
sential.
Corporation Counsel William
W. Bride is now engaged on
drawing up several plans, she
pointed out. and he will furnish
these to her as soon as he has
completed the work.
She then will send these plans
to members of the committee and
expects that when Congress con-
venes they will have decided
which of the plans is the most
suitable and will be ready to
make a recommendation to the
House.
The essential thing, Mrs. Nor
ton feels, is to keep the tax on
liquor so low as to drive the
bootlegger out of business. This,
she feels, will remove the hidden
mystery" from drinking and do
much to promote temperance.
