BOYS TAKE PART
in PROGRAM FOR
IDENTIFICATION
LOCAL LADS LEND EFFORTS
IN GENERAL MOVEMENT
TOWARD CLEARING OFF VA
CANT, UNsIGHTLY LOTS

The plan of identifying vacant
and unsightly lots has made wide
appeal to local boys who are be-
coming more and more interested
in creating beauty spots where
weeds thrived and old Fords rest
ed. This interest has come about,
II is stated, through the High
School Boys Garden Club which
organization started the move
ment.
AT q meeting of this club held
recently it was decided to ask
those who have gardens to donate
cuttings or rooted plants of GRO
tons. hibiscus or any tree, plant,
or shrub, that may be used in the
Identification campaign now on.
Heretofore it has been possible
to get such plants and shrubs from
the Woman's Club nursery through
Mrs. w. ]. Phelan, chairman of
the American Citizenship Commit
tee of the Woman's Club. But at
this time there are very few plants
in the nursery due to the great
number distributed several weeks
ago through the Identification Di-
vision of the Conservation Com
mittee of the Monroe County
Council for Unemployment Re-
lief. If any one has plants or cut
tings they are willing to donate,
they may call Marie Cappick,
phone 436 and these will be called
for, it is stated.
In making this request, the
chairman of the High School Gar
den Club asks that cooperation be
given in the efforts of these local
boys to make their home town
more attractive.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. Is.
Repeal of the Wright
.'bone dry" law, which
since 1925 made Indiana's

accomplished fact today.
Only an agreement on
amendments remained be-

The measure was not only
for repeating the dry law,

Along with il will go a bill
providing for repeal only.
The repeal will be effec-

A NEW SOVIET MENACE"

TITO certain of our countrys senators goes
l. the palm for the most horrendous dis
covery of the year.
Certain of these law-givers, according to
current advices from Washington, have dis
covered that the pending farm relief bill con-
tains deeply hidden but terrifying Soviet
menace"
This may be partially due to the fact that
any government which really makes de-
termined effort to improve the living condi-
tons of large mass of the population is apt
to seem more or less Communistic to a certain
type of mind.
But the dispatches relate that it is chiefly
due to the fact that DR.. Mordecai Ezekiel,
economic adviser to the secretary of agricul-
ture, once spent whole month in Russia.
Now that the terrible secret is out one
trusts that the senators who dug it up will
not feel hurt if they discover that no one but
themselves is very much excited about it.

MR.. MITCHELL'S ARREST

A BOUT all that any one can say concern
ing the arrest and indictment of Charles
E. Mitchell former chairman of the National
City Bank, on a charge of income tax evasion,
is-"How have the mighty fallen!"
Until very recently Mr. Mitchell was one of
the most respected and influential members of
the financial communication which. in our
money-minded land, there was no more high
toned outfit.
When a great banker opened his lips, no
dogs might bark. We lesser fry might listen
respectfully when financial wizard told us
what was what, but it seldom occurred to us
that We might offer any criticism.
And now the gentleman faces criminal
charges of the very kind which landed Al Ca
pone in Atlanta; and the best part of it is that
public which has grown disrespectful and
cynical about its money changers does not
seem to be putting out any very great amount
of sympathy.

A REAL LABOR DEPARTMENT

TIOW well the President chose in naming
Miss Frances Perkins to head the labor
department is shown by her vigorous action
in ousting fifteen alien-baiters from the i'm
migration service.
Here is a labor secretary with brains,
courage, and sympathy. She can, as she
intimates she will, build useful and honest
bureau of labor statistics. Realistic research
under modern and trained director can CO.
ordinate the work of fact-hnding bodies in
and outside of Washington.
She can enlarge the now innocuous bureau
Of mediation into an effective bureau Of in
dustrial relations. Such a bureau not only
could mediate in strikes, but study industrial
danger zones to prevent such chaos as reigns
in the soft coal regions; encourage expert
ments in employe management cooperation;
even aid in forming unions for orderly bar
gaining, as the commerce department now
builds trade associations.
She can substitute for the Hoover-Doak
nest Of nepotism an efficient and non-political
state-federal employment service, such as Is
proposed in the pending Wagner bill.
She can, and doubtless will, give new sup
port to the womens and children's bureaus,
already among the most effective agencies of
our government.
She can, by means of state-federal confer
ences, aid in standardizing labor laws, in ex-
tending such reforms as unemployment in
surance, old-age pension minimum wage and
anti-injunction laws.
She can harmonic federal activities with
national industrial planning in view. She can
combine the practical and the scientific by
keeping in closer touch with the research
bodies of the universities and foundations.
With America crying out for leadership,
reconstructed and well-manned department
of labor now can take it's rightful place IN
he1ping to build a modern industrial order.

M. E.TracySays:

CUCCESS of repeal depends largely on the
- way beer is handled during the next year
Or two. If beer is permitted to become NUS
ance either from the political or the social
standpoint, the possibility Of getting thirty-six
states to vote against the eighteent amend
ment will be reduced greatly
The fact that sentiment has changed toward
nationwide prohibition must not be taken to
means that people want a return OF the old Or
der, or that the country has become so wet that
it will stand for anything.
To begin WITH the drys have not been elirni-
mated. They are prepared for stiff fight, and
as general proposition they are the kind OF
people who will stay with it.
Of more Importance than the drys is that
element Of the people which, though thoroughly
disguised with Volsteadism, will be quick to re-
sent anything like return of the liquor ring or
the Darkroom hideout.
The people have not voted to go back where
they were before nationwide prohibition came
into existence. While millions favor repeal, they
look for improvement, not retrogression.
THERE is widespread belief that misman-
l. agement Of the liquor traffic itself brought
on prohibition, and that better system can
be devised There is the same old opposition
to artifcially promoted drinking and to any
sort of alliance between liquor and politics
The chances for repeal are none too certain
and they can be spoiled easily AT 1eaSC Ten
states can be depended on to vote mo" Three
more would save the eighteenth amendment
In several sentiment is divided about evenly
and a little adverse influence would swing 1t
against repeal.
Under such circumstances great deal de-
ponds on how beer is handled.
Brewers and politicians must watch their
step. This is no time for political souse or a
patronage grab.
The majority of people are looking for some
thing better than we have had under the eight
zenith amendment or than we had before If
they fail to get it, there is likely to be an I'M
favorable reaction.
Not only the saloon, but the type of politics
for which it stood is out.
A vERAGE people will not tolerate the kind
n of establishments which promote drunk
enness and furnish the basis for political control
If beer is good, let it be sold openly, like
cigars and cigarets. In no other way can graft
or bootlegging be eliminated. Laws designed
to limit the traffic in such a way would give
public officials arbitrary powers will lead only
to restoration of the old setup and return
of the old adverse sentiment.
1t is useless to suppose that we can beat
back over the ground we have Travelled with
out getting the same result.
If beer is handled in a respectable manner,
it will be respectable. If, on the other hand, 1t
is handled in way to cast doubt on the traffic
| to create the impression that there is something
shady about the business. the old opposition
