sensible provision. No storekeeper Is
supposed to sell liquor to confirmed
drunkards, to men who are prone to
spend an undue proportion Of their
earnings on booze or to characters
who are apt to make public nuisanoes
Of themselves when In their cups.
The liquor control commission
checks up on its storekeepers very
easily. It simply scans the police
records for their districts. II any dis
trict shows rise In drunkenness. q
spread OF poverty, an increase In
crimes or any similar symptom indi-
eating that too much liquor Is being
sold there. the license Of the store
keeper In that district Is revoked
forthwith.
Every storekeeper knows that he
will be out Of q Job II he fails to use
good judgment In making his sales.
Every storekeeper, consequently, has
the best Of incentives for running his
place as 1t ought to be run.
Now this IS almost q fool-proof
scheme. well worth copying in the
United States. As much as any such
plan can, 1t makes social considera-
tons paramount In its handling OF
tf,A lie,,sn, traffic.
But no one needs to think about 1t
very long to realize that 1t would be
no good whatever II its supervision
and enforcement were in the hands
of political hacks whose first loyalty
was to the machine which gave them
their jobs.
Let q Tammany, a Ware machine
or any similar outfit pick your COM
mission, and your fool-proof plan is
as full Of holes as a screen door.
And the same thing Is true OF any
liquor control scheme that can pos
sibly be devised. All Of them will
rest, ultimately, on the local govern
mental unit. They will give our
ability to govern ourselves an acid !
test.

Public Works
NAV, vo,.l- rs,.cA

The plan to furnish employment by
entering upon large schemes Of public
works financed by the Government
has not been succeeding as well or as
rapidly as was hoped. Many projects
have been approved, and money from
the treasury has been allotted, but
contracts have not been executed as
quickly as were expected. Secretary
IckeS denies responsibility for the de-
lay. His department has worked hard
and swiftly. But the contractors have
held back In many cases. Their diff
ficulty has been in accepting and en-
forcing the stipulation that the pre-
vailing rate Of wages" shall be MAIN
tanned in all these government en-
terprtses. The history has always
been one Of moving slowly. President
Hoover pointed out, although himself
favoring extensive public works in
times Of depression, that 1t ordinarily
takes about year before their author
ization will result in laying the foun-
dattons Of public buildings or start
Ing road construction.
It IS not only in the United States
that these questions are causing trou-
BILE. In Great Britain there is increas-
Ing pressure upon the government to
enter upon large spending schemes in
order to relieve unemployment. It will
be remembered that at the London
economic conference the president Of
the Board Of Trade, Mr.. Runciman.
explicitly and emphatically declared
that the government would not en-
courage or authorize large OUTLAWS
upon public works. Later the Prime
Minister. when challenged In the
House Of Commons, did q little hedg-
ing With respect to this announcement,
and implied that all projects Of the
kind would not be absolutely ruled out.
Recently Sir Arthur Salter has been
lending the weight Of his opinion In
favor q enlarged public expenditure
on roads and housing and hydroelec-
trio power. He has been sharply A.
tackled tor these proposals by that
rigid economist, Sir Ernest Benin, who
accuses Sir Arthur Of failing to ex-
plain how the government borrowing
for such purposes Is to be paid off.
Always It Is promised that taxes viii
be lowered. but they have IN obstinate
way Of remaining ct the same level o.
going higher. When the recent sue
cessful conversion" Of the English
public debt was undertaken, with the
result Of lowering interest charges by
moro than 4200, 900 900, It was init

Be Careful. Franklin

Strong as has been the hold o.
President Roosevelt upon the Ameri-
can people in recent months, he hao
better be right about the removal Of
william E. Humphrey from the tariff
commission If he wishes to retain the
confidence Of the people without SUBJ
stantial impairment.
Humphrey was removed by the
presidents order and, so far as press
dispatches show, without extensive
explanation. The president did not
want him there and SO he summary
removed him without specifying any
complaint or giving the man an op-
portunity to defend himself.
The trouble with this kind OF thing
is that 1t smacks Of injustice. Hum
rllrey may be the hardest OF hard
shells and Z reactionary Of the deep
est dye. Still he is entitled to q fair
deal
1t Is impossible to say, on the basis
Of the present evidence, il he has had
it, but il it should turn out that he
has been dealt with unfairly the re-
suit will be to discredit the president
and hts administration In the eyes
OF many people.
One Of the reasons for the united
support OF President Roosevelt has
been the widespread feeling that he
is the champion Of social justice for
all classes Of people. He has APP
pealed to the finer nature of the av-
erage citizen and so many have fallen
in line who are somewhat distrustful
Of his theories.
But personal justice Is q thing
easily understood and the average
man Is sticklcr for it. America has
not yet subscribed to the theory of
might makes right" Neither Is it
ready to condone the abuse Of official
power. Some inner thing warns
against it.
It Is on the basis of this attitude
that the presidents action In remov-
Ing Humphrey will be judged.
Decision will be withheld until all
the facts are known but u it then
appears that President Roosevelt
treated Humphrey unfairly, the re-
suit will be to decrease his stature in
the eyes OF the average citizen.

Not Under COmpulsion

Among the most interesting phe-
nomena presented by the NRA and
the presidents agreement with en-
ployers is that in Norfolk, Neb, where
all the restaurants took down the
blue eagle the other day because they
decided it was putting them out of
business.
After a conference with an official
committee they put the bird back in
their windows Monday after > prom
Use that their grievances would be
considered and remedied.
Their action proved. definitely,
that there Is, rs yet, no compulsion
behind the blue eagle. II all the res
taurant men Of Bismarck, for exam
pie, decided to abandon allegiance to
the MIRA, the government couldn't do
much about 1t. Their trade wouldn't
suffer good deal because those who
''eat OUT usually do 30 for reasons
other than choice. Folks who prefer
the restaurant table to their home
board are relatively few, no matter
how excellent the cuisine Of the pub
lie food purveyors.
The service Of food must be per-
formed when the customer wants It
Doing It tomorrow or sending to the
next town Is obviously difficult. Even
the most ardent enthusiast might NOT
insist on blue eagle meal II he were
really hungry and there were no othe,
places to 50.
That fact made the Norfolk situa.
ton difficult for Nebraslka MIRA ~.
thorities to handle. There wasn't
much they could do to compel OBJ
servance. Cancellation ana attention
to the grievances Of the restaurant
men was the only way.

WHO IS UNETHICAL NOW?

A physician writing on Statl0neTy
of a State Board Of Education and
signing himself Supervisor Of Health
and Physical Education says . news
paper article Of mine pointing out the
peril to the victim when the peculiar
method Of resuscitation taught by the
American Red Cross is applied instead
Of Schaefer's prone-pressure respira-
ton has been brought to his attention
by member Of his class In First Aid
for Girl Scout executives.
These great ones never see anything
in the paper. It has to be brought to
their attention.
The doctor advises me that my
criticism Of "pulmotors'' and "lung
motors" Is substantiated by himself
and others affiliated with Red Cross
first aid work. But he seriously OBJ
jects to "any destructive criticism Of
the splendid program" OF the Red
Cross.
ITO ridicule our procedure In
teaching the prone-presSure
method and to brand us publicly
as teachers of funny stunts Is
unethical to say the least. If our
present method Is so entirely out
Of order, and you have proof to
that effect, would it not be serv-
ice to humanity for you to meet
the staff In Washington and
demonstrate the correct proce-
dure.
How am I to meet the staff In
Washington? Shall 60 hat in hand
and try to crash the gate at one Of
the meetings Of the august staff7
have here q simple little booklet
which describes precisely what Is
wrong with the method taught by the
Red Cross and also describes the
correct method which was given to
the world by Sir EDWARD Schaefer-
whose name is notably absent from
Red Cross versions of the method. !
think even a physician affiliated"
with the Red Cross can understand
my criticism Of the method. should
be glad to send any physician or
any Red Cross employee or repreSen-
tative who asks for it copy Of the
Resuscitation booklet, provided he or
she sends a stamped envelope bear
ing the address. To others the book
let will be mailed on receipt Of a
stamped addressed envelope and q
dime.
I don't care q boot whether my
criticism Of the fatal error in the Red
Cross method Is "unethical." What I
am concerned about is the saving Of
life.
The doctor affiliated with the Red
Cross and drawing pay from the state
speaks Of "our present method. There
may be q joker In that.
A few years ago was "unethical'
enough to ridicule and condemn .
little funny stunt that was then adj
vised in the official Red Cross first
aid manual, namely the lifting OF
the victim In the Jack-knife position
to "get water out OF the lungs" After
had pounded away 1T that error
for q year or two, 1t was quietly, oh,
very quietly deleted from the Red
Cross manual.
Who knows, maybe without my
knowledge the same ethical aggrega-
ton has quietly removed the Victims
arm from under the head and started
teaching the proper technic for re-
suscitation? Il this correction Of the
Red Cross error has not been made
