THE LENGTHENING PROCESSION.

Monday Maine the "plrthplace of Prohibition" became the twenty sixth State to ratify the reso- lution to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment Iues- dav Maryland Minnesota and Colorado brought the total to 29 thus leaving but seven more States necessary to accomplish the end earnestly desired by an overwhelming majority of the people 10 even the most arid of the Drys, is at last clear that it is no longer question of "if," only when Even Bishop Cannon oratorical Big Bertha Of the Dry campaign has given up the battle and sailed for Europe The tale written all over the country in it's ballot boxes is convincing that none of Prohibitions allies can longer hope to stay the inevotable conclusion longer than November T.
 The Maine verdict was unusually cearcut. The Drys had all the better of the voting arrange ments They had only 80 candidates in the 1leio while the Wet forces were unable to restrain their adherents and found themselves with 81 seeKng delegateships seven more than there were places Naturally that meant some split in the wet votes. Then too the ballot was unique. It carried only the names of those seeking election as delegates, not specifying which we're dry or which wet The voter had to know whether the men for whom he voted were wet or dry, there was nothing on the ballot to tell him.
 Maine voters demonstrated convincngly they knew By two to one vote they rejected National Prohibition Maine has been Dry longer than any other State It went partly arid far back as 1846 with liquor license law. It followed that with various systems of control and finally wrote Prohibition into the State constitution in 1884 where it has remained ever since. An effort to repeal IL was made in 1911 and failed
 Apparently there is little danger that the number necessary for ratification will not be acmeVed py November g. Two States vote this month Idaho and New Mexico September 19 Arizona and Florida follow, the first on October 5, ana the latter week later Then comes period or relaxation until November T, when North and South Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania and Utah march to the polls North Carolina is said to be the only one in which the Drys have had any chance to stop the motonous march of repeal. But after the debacle in Maine, there seems to be no reason why North Carolina, too, should not be found In the line of march.

Before the Indians.
(New York Herald Tribune.

(NeW YOrK Herald 1rlpuneD
 The report of Dr. Edgar B. Howard to the Phia- Idelphia Museum concerning ancient stone tools
 found in New Mexico should go far to set at rest
 remaining doubts of orthodox anthropologists about the presence in America of very ancient man. pr. Towards finds have been examined in place by lother competent authorities. It is impossible to maintain that the tools were of late Indian manu- facure introduced into earlier strata by accident Tor by intentional burial There doubt that users of these tools were associated with animals now exnct. The orthodox dogma that the first
 Indians arrived from Asia about ten thousand years
 ago and that previously America was uninhabited Iclearly must be abandoned.
 It is a curious example of the blind dogmatsm
 of scientific orthodoxy that this entirely reasonable
 opinion has had to fight hard for reorganization
 Two generations ago, when bones of men were found in what seemed to be ancient geologic Strta in |Calaveras Cunty, Cal and near Trenton N J., these finds brushed aside as mistakes or misstate- ments In 1916, when human remains associated with extinct animals were found in Florida the few scientific men who champoned their authen- Iticty were ridiculed. In 1925 when MT. Harold J. Cook found unmistakable human artfacts in ancient strata in Nebraska, he was dismissed from ortho- dox consideration merely a scientific amateur whose opinions and finds might be taken as worth less. It only when the more recent finds at IGypsum Cave, in New Mexico, received the ap- proval of recognized authority, in the person of Dr. Chester Stock that orthodoxy began to admit the possibility of being wrong Nowadays so much
 evidence has piled up, eliminating in the report from Dr. Howard, that there longer can be uncertainty Man of modern type, skilled and
 tool-using, undoubtedly inhabited America before
 the Indians and while animals such sloths camels
 and mammoths were not yet exinct.
 The matter of age in years is less certain AS
 was pointed out not long ago in these columns con-
 corning finds of ancient in Africa there are
 two possible interpretations: that man was very
 ancient here and that the extinct animals lived
 on much nearer the present than commonly is
 imagined. It is too to decide between them.
 It already is evident, however that the prehstory
 of humanity this continent is not limited to
 the ten thousand years so of Indian occupancy,
 but has earlier and more dramatic scenes perhaps quite significant as those which have been un-
 covered in Europe.

 The problem of curbing this vast criminal activ- ity as it is pointed out by Col. James A. Moss U.SA. retired head of the Council, it essentially of education. The average and woman does not know the situation and it is the mission of the Council to give them the facts Col Moss sees the remedy in the ballot box He holds the center of the problem to be lin the alliance of corrupt judges, crooked politicians, grating police officers and unprincipled judges"
 Voters, generally have not been greatly exercised by the activities of organized criminals The gang ster activities in a few large cities have been heralded far and wide but this is only part of the national crime picture. Few realize that 100000 persons estimated to be making their living from crime today. Most of them belong to organ ized rings which exist largely result of political influence and official protection Once this fact is brought home forcbly to the people at large they be depended to take effective steps to remedy the situation.

DOLLAR FUEL.

Dollars for fuel to stoke the engines of nduStrlal recovery is evidently the aim of Secretary Harold Ickes Public Works Administrator In recent interview MT Ickes stated in succinct terms just what the Federal funds are designed to do, as follows
 It is not sufficient that projects submitted must have permanent social benefit and quality under the announced policies Of the Public Works Administration. The possi- bility of furnishing immediate employment is an essential for projects submitted to us for consideration.
 We want the public expenditure to show results through employment and all the regeneratve economic benefits of increasing payrolls as speedily possible.
 public works dollar in pay envelope will go all the way through the mill of retail purchase at the local store, wholesale purchase, transportation expenditure, factory expenditure and material expenditure, giving the increased purchasing power the full way down the line that will aid recov- cry We want payroll dollars working just as quickly as possible and not some time
 in the future
 Those who are in charge of the expenditure of other projects for recommendation to the Public Works Administration ought to bear these funda- mentals in mind Sound from engineering stand point from long distance planning standpoint, many projects of merit may not have the primary element of providing immediate employment. Every project programmed for public works relief funds in Alaska ought to be of such nature that it will give as nearly as possible continuous employment until its completion and each one should stress the use of manual rather than machine labor.

COUNTY BULLS

Imperial county has records of
eight bulls in the national proven
sire survey and two of them illus
trate the chance a daryman must
take with a young bull-both had
very good pedigrees and were splen-
did individuals but one barely
maintained production on a 300
pound herd while daughters from
the other bull ana 800 pound COWS
made over 400 pounds as first calf
heifers.
Of the 3419 dairy sires that have
been proved by the bureau of dairy
industry to date approximately one
third whose production eXcelled that
O ftheir dams, Cne third had daugi =
ters whose prooucion equalled that
of their dams, while the remaining
third had daughters that failed to
equal the production of their dams.
This would suggest that dairymen,
particularly those with higE produc-
ing herds, have approximately one
chance in three of finding a sire
that will improve their herds. The
QdlTyneI WlCH u lOW piouuClliS
herd naturally is more likely to fino
sire that will improve his herd
than is the dairyman with a rela-
lively high producing herd.
In addition to the 3419 dairy shes
already proved, 17,204 had been
partly proved up to October l, 1888.
Only 8 or 10 dairy sires had been
proved by July, 1925. From that
small beginning the work grew ul-
til in 1929 3287 dam and daughter
comparisons were made and 279
sires were proved. Now more than
1900 dam and daughter compari-
sons are meade each year and
around 900 sires ale proved annual
ly. During the first nine months
of this year 1852 dam and daugh-
ter comparisons were made and $50
sires were proved.
