JoHNsToWN's PAUL REVERE

1t seems long time to us who remember
it ALA very long time since the Johnstown flood
occurred, but only this week John G. Parke, who
became known as the Paul Revere of the occasion,
died at the age of 81
The flood occurred in 1889. May 81, Parke was
a civil engineer and with small force of men was
engaged in strengthening the Conemaugh Valley
dam where some weakness was indicated. Neither
Parke nor any of the power officials had any ade-
quate knowledge Of the extent of the damage that
had been done TO the structure.
AS Parke saw the dam giving way under the
water pressure, he realized that any attempts to
prevent the complete destruction of the dam must
be futile They then started down the valley be-
low the DAM to warn those in the path of the i'm
pending flood to flee to safety. Parke mounted the
only horse available and brought the first warning
to those who had any warning at all Two hours
later the entire valley below was swept by food
of terrific force and 1000 people were lost-The

THE TRAVESTY OF FREEDOM

Up to the time of Abraham Lincoln's journey
from Springfield H., to Washington, for his first
inauguration, the president of the United States
was more Or less free man.
Today he is practically prisoner of the state.
Lincoln was the first president for whom it was
considered necessary to provide guard of secret
service men on his way to the White House, and
it was many years more before the elaborate sys-
tenn perfected by which the president or the
president-elect is protected
Today the man who is chosen for this high of
flee, up to the hour he goes back to being a pri-
.vate citizen, has no more chance of escaping the
surveillance of his guards than if he was locked
up in a cell.
Some recent presidents, during the first months
of their incumbency have attempted to act as
though they not thus constantly and closely
surrounded by an almost impenetrable guard
Of course the president can put on his hat and
go down town if he chooses. But he knows there
is secret service man at each elbow and probably
others behind and in front of him.
All Of which is made necessary because of the
travesty some men have made of the principle
that this is free Countrywide Rock Hill Is. c.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
INTEMPERATE TEMPERANCE"

There are some who INDUCED in a quiet smoker
when certain splashing wet propagandists first had
the -eArontery to adopt the term temperance" as
the shield and catchword of antprohibition activ-
ties. The grotesqueness of the combination should
have been patent from the first But its utter IN
Substantially becomes clear in view of the repeal
resolution now before the states for ratification.
There is certainly little aid or shelter for temper
ance in this resolution
There was little of temperatures even in the
manner in which the Blaine formula pushed
through the senate and the house OF representa-
tives after wet congressional spokesman made the
surprising discovery that politically influential and
wel-heeed brewery or dstillery interests did not
warm up to proposals that would leave their pri-
vate exploitation of the drink trade out of the
picture.
Proponents of regulatory plans modelled on the
Bratt system of Sweden or some of the provincial
systems in Canada gave for a while respectable
front to the wet campaign. Often quite sincere
they were used as stalking horses for the booze
trade until, as now, the wet campaign could make
bold to strike directly toward the detectives cher
ished by ayarice and thirst
Even TIE Association Against the. Prohibition
Amendment encouraged relatively pious hope by
publishing booklets descriptive of liquor control
plans abroad with the implication that of
these might be applied in America. About this time
the Crusaders and the Women's Organization for
Prohibition Reform began to pirate of temper
ance" as though it-were something opposed to pro-
hbition. Yet these wet groups studiously avoided
indorsing any single plan and now clamor only for
turning the problem back to the states where no
plan can be entirely adequate. With all their talk
of temperance, they eager to scuttle of the
chief hopeseof temperance apart from prohibition
namely, che nationwide exclusion of the profit
element from liquor manufacture
Many persons undoubtedly have been drawn
away from prohibition by anticipation of method
that would permit regulated of liquor without
involving the evils of commercialized traffic in
it. But if these can enjoy the present legislative
situation it must. be with the sardonic humor of
&sinusionnlent. Whatever hope now exists for
