A LAWLESS TRAFFIC

The time is close at hand when the question of
the control of the liquor traffic will again become
a live issue. We have grave doubts whether any
plan which can be devised will be effective The
people of the United States have been struggling
with this problem for more than $50 years and
have never found any way to keep the dealers in
''hard liquor" within the bounds set for them.
Booze obeys no laws" has been true from the
beginning of things.
Not only the United States but every nation in
the world is trying to find solution of the liquor
problems We do not understand that any nation
has ever found one that worked All the
world alcohol defies, as it always defed every
effort to regulate it. 1t corrupts public officials
and politicians laughs at the police, and makes a
joke of the law.
We have no confidence whatever in the promises
of the dstillers and their distributors to "be good
now that their legal market is coming back. Their
business has always been in the hands of or init
mately associated with the criminal element and it
always will be- Decent people will have nothing To
do with it. Not even the customers of the saloon
ever held the saloon-keeper in anything but con-
tempt 1t was and always will be a disreputable
business.
What we are afraid of is that the new genera
ton of officials who will be called upon to admin
lister whatever regulatory laws may be enacted will
place too much confidence in the honesty and cool
intentions of the liquor interests They not to
be trusted.
As for ourselves, we intend to follow the exam
pie set by the Chicago Tribune. That great news
paper has boldly announced that it will accept no
liquor advertising Neither will be-The Lancas-
ter News.

JUDGE ScHENCK'S GOOD WORK

Judge Michael Schenck is to be commended for
his good work during the past two weeks term of
court Aside from the almost universal satisfac-
ton given by his fair decisions, he has accom-
plished more in clearing the criminal docket than
perhaps any judge holding court in Rutherford
county in the last ten years in the same length Of
time .--
Judge Schenck has a knack of expedting cases
coming up in his court. He gets them in court and
hears the case apparently without much effort He
never appears to be in a hurry, but he keeps all
hands busy nevertheless There is not much lost
time between cases If the states judicial system
ever needs anything approaching an efficiency
expert the job should be given to Judge S,henck.

DOLLY GAM
IN SPOTLIGHT
Is Being Feted as Literary
Figure in New York;

United freSS StaIt correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-(UP).
Dolly Gam, whose fame in the
past has been largely confined to
Washington. has become New
York's current literary lion by
appearing at a Brooklyn depart
ment store to deliver a speech
and to autograph copies of her
opus, dolly Cams Book"
Prior to her appearance on the
lecture platform, Mrs. Gam grac-
iously received a few reporters
in the tea room of the store,
where she announced that she has
not read Alice Roosevelt Long
worth's new book.
Since she is being feted as a
literary figure, the reporters ask
ed her questions about her init
mate literary life, and sought to
determine which authors are her
favorites.
81 have no favorites," she
smiled. 81 read a few books,
yes, but mostly l read the papers.
l actually devour the papers.
"Did you dictate your: own
book" she was asked.
ooh, no." she replied. 81 wrote
it in longhand, with paper, a pen
Gil, or sometimes a fountain pen"
She explained that she worked
on the book whenever she was
smitten by the muse, but mainly
late at night.
81 went to party every night, ]"
she explained, "and when / would
get home, if l felt like it, would
write for an hour"
In her speech Mrs. Gam ex-
planned that she had come to New
York by plane-''my very first
trip in an airplane"
"To think" she exclaimed,
chat men have invented a ma
chine whereby they could fly
through the air like birds. Was
1 nervous? My friends, I was
petrified! But l." she continued
sweetly, "am air. minded"

HIGHER INHERITANCE TAX
MAY BE KEY
CBY BRUCE CATTON)

One of the unpleasant jobs Uncle Sam
will have to take on in the near future is
the task of finding new ways to get money.
Nobody likes the idea of higher taxes
Nobody denies that a mounting tax rate IS
bad for business. Nobody, rich or poor,
gets any particular kick out of paying his
taxes.
But nobody, on the other hand, can look
at the vast sums that are being spent
these days without realizing that some new
sources of revenue will be necessary in the
not-distant future.
Never before, save in war time, has the
government spent at its present rate. This
money can't be plucked out of thin air.
All of which brings us up to the latest
declaration of Senator George w, Norris
of Nebraska, who urges a heavy stiffening
of the inheritance tax by the next Congress.
Here is an idea which cuts two ways.
Not only would it provide the government
with badly needed money; it could be made
into a weapon to promote that more equita-
BILE distribution of wealth which seems to
be one of the goals of the era now begin
ming
In considering an inheritance tax, i
would be well to get clear picture of the
exact nature of the things it would be ex-
pected to accomplish.
&S#ch- law" remarks Senator Norris,
should allow liberal exemptiOn-an eX-
emption even large enough so that the
beneficiary might live the remainder of his
life in luXury-and then it should be in
creased by progressive steps so that the
residue of the fortune would be passed
back to the people through this method Of
taxation, and thus be returned to the gov.
eminent"
Every man who manages to lay aside q
little surplus has the right to seek to pro-
vide for his children. That should be pos
sible, under even the stiffest sort of in
heritance tax law.
But the idea of preserving a vast fortune
intact through generation after generation,
and preserving with it the great power that
goes with extreme wealth, handing wealth
and power down to those who have done
nothing to earn them-that is something
else again, and we properly can keep it III
mind ID framing our law.
There need not be any soak the rich"
tinge to such STEP Uncle Sam needs
every dime ne can get; the country as a
whole needs to do something about the
congeaEng of great wealth in the hands of
fortunately born few. Both goals can be
reached through sane revision of the in
heritance tax.

There are many of US who have not seen slcH

up from beds of illness. We can say with even
more radiance and JOY, who healeth all thy dis

MEMPHIS MAKES 1T EASY ON
BONE-ROLLERS

Memphis, Tenn.-Local White crap
shooters are viewing with sardonic
disdain an order issued last week by
Police Commissioner Davis whereby
Negro men caught shooting craps may
obtain their release from prison by
the payment of So to the desk ser
geants at the police stations. After
they have done that, it is unnecessary
for them to appear in court.
White crapshooters, however, are
still required to put up the usual for
felt of $40 and operators of gambling
houses forfeit of $25.
Fifty-six men arrested over the
weekend obtained their freedom by
paying two dollars. The new order
enables the police department to save
money on the feeding and care of such
prisoners.

County Attorney
Moves To Noll
Hardiman Case

The Herald learned this week that
County Attorney E. j. Golf has taken
steps to noll PROSE- charges against
Wilbur Hardiman, youth who was
found guilty of manslaughter in Hen
nepin County District Court in Oc-
tober, and who is now confined to St.
Cloud serving a sentence of to 20
years. Three weeks ago through the
efforts of counsel employed by the In
ternational Labor Defense and public
spirited Negroes and Whites, new
trial was secured for Hardiman. Dis
position of the noll PROSE- action will
be made by Judge H. D. Dickinson,
who presided during the Hardiman
trial. If Judge Dickinson rules,
favorably on the motion of the County
Attorneys office Hardiman will soon
be free. The disposition of the case
of James Johnson, second defendant
awaits the Hardiman case. q.
Case Grew Out of Lynch Attempts
Nationwide interest has been
aroused by the Hardiman-J ohnson
cases. The two men were chased by
an angry mob of White transients and
down and cutters in the Minneapolis
Gateway District in June. Faced with
death from the blood-thirsty mob both
men defended themselves. Several
other Negroes were chased and beat
en- One White man was shot and
killed and another seriously cut.
Hardiman and Johnson were among
the large number of Negroes who
were rounded up as suspects in the
death of the White man who lead the
bowling mob. The police finally
quelled the lynch spirit of the crowd
by liberal use of tear gas. No ar
rests of White men were made.
Hardiman Charged With Murder
Wilbur Hardiman, % year old youth
was held and charged with murder.
The International Labor Defense, mill
tant group, went to work to save the
youth from life in jail David Ben
tall, noted labor lawyer of Chicago,
was retained. The case was original
ly set to be heard by Judge Paul W.
Guilford but Hardiman's counsel filed
an affidavit of prejudice against him
and the case was assigned to Judge
Dickinson, who presided over it, what
many considered very impartial and
just manner. After five days of legal
battling by Bentall and L. O. Taylor
for the defense and Leo Gleason and
Arthur Markve for the state the case
was given to the jury. After two
hours deliberation the jury brought
in verdict of guilty. Spectators and
observers of the trial were surprised
at the verdict Hardiman was SEN
fenced to to 20 years in the state
reformatory.
New Witnesses Discovered
While the l. L. D. prepared to ap-
peal the case to a higher court, Sam
Borenstein and S. K. Davis, officials
of the l. L. D., discovered an eye
witness to the riots and a new trial
was requested on those grounds.
zv Fate In Judges Hands
The fate of Hardirnan, who most
fairminded citizens believe is inno-
cent, rests in the hands of Judge
Dickinson. The Hennepin County At
torney's office by it's motion for noll-
ing the case has expressed its doubt
of the guilt of the youth.
