SOM could hardly be wrong as
against such men as Wayne b.
Wheeler and Bishop Cannon. They
were not!
About five years ago you gave
me four or five columns of red
hot canister under the caption

er James Barrett of the Tribune,
raked together enough small plea

decorating crash OF grape in sup

was thus ruthlessly slaughtered
between the enfilading fire of two

Now, alas! prohibition has gone
with the "bull" with apologies to
Mrs. MitchclD. Notification or
repeal was inevitable from the
start and every one with, 4 scrap
ing acquaintance with the spirit
of laws and the limitations which
immemorial custom and human
nature impose on legislative acts
knew what the result would be.
1t should be clear enough now
that temperance can not be OBJ
tanned by statute--a fact well
understood by st. Paul who de-
clared that, "If righteousness
cometh by law then Christ is dead
in vain" But temperance can be
obtained by preccpt, example, ed
ucation, the raising of the moral
standard and the social octracism
of those who abuse instead OF
lightfully using the things of this
world. The restraints of the law
are for those who abuse their nat
ural rights and not those who
rightfully enjoy without the abuse
of them. It will take a generation
to undo the harm wrought by
the "noble experiment" So much
for an issue that is now entering
upon a new phase.
From time to time for thirty
years I have pointed out in your
paper that all the worlds fore
most works on political economy
teach that protective tariffs"
(tariffs that prevent the exchange
of goods, wares and merchandise
between the peoples of the earth)
were destructive of the interests
of the masses and resulted in the
concentration of the wealth Of
the country into the control of a
comparatively small portion of
the population and was especially
destructive to agriculture. "Only
a nation very rich in resources
can long withstand so great dis
order" Well, that has been suffi-
GENTLY demonstrated. Even those
who so long fought for and MAIN
tanned the necessity for "protec-
ton" now concede it. We were
rich in resources and stood it a
long time, but the break came

must be solved if we are not to
be destroyed by failure of early
solution. II is out of the realiza-
ton of this fact that the New
Deal has sprung; it is out of this
realization that action to make
changes that are imperative rs
quickly as possible has sprung
and it behooves those who as
sumo responsibility for public en-
lightenmcnt to know what they
are writing and talking about
when they undertake that func-
ton. One only has to read, daily,
the conflict Of opinion over the
presidents proposal to modern
ize" the supreme court to realize
how few do know anything about
what they are discussing. For in
stance, a few days ago you quot
ed David Lawrence as saying the
proposition was Unconstitutional
on it's face" So far as | have
been able to learn, he is the only
supposedly responsible journalist
who has made such statement.
That fact is that just what the
president has proposed has been
done before and there is nothing
unconstitutional about it.
Says Arthur Krock, New York
Times correspondent: There are
bound to be embarrassments for
the Republicans who are opposing
the presidents program as an UNI
precedented, New Deal, twentieth
century coup d'etat repugnant to
the spirit and name of their par
ty. Because it will be pointed out
that Garfield, Hoar and many 9TH

has to be kept in balance with
other industry by some sort of
subsidy until world markets are
cleared of the tariff shackles.
Seven years ago when the Geo.
nomic cataclysm overwhelmed the
nation ] wrote you that it was
the end of an era; that the old
laissez fairc order was gone and
gone to stay gone-that a new
sociology was being born. No one
could follow the facts gathered by
the greatest sociologists Of our
time and understand the lgical
conclusions drawn therefrom and
not know this to be true. Nothing
in the universe is static. Evolu-
ton, change and transmutation is
a never ending process. Life, re-
ligion, government, nothing is
static. Clocks. strike when there
is a change from hour to hour,
but no hammer in the horologue
of Time peals through the uni
verse when there is. change
from era to era" The Stone age,
the Age of Bronze, the Iron age
and the Machine age moved into
their successive eras on the wings
of Time with no chimes to mark
their arrival or departure, but
each era marked a mighty chasm
between the last and its successor.
The Machine age has brought
with it an economic enigma that
no other age has had to solve and
it has to be solved by the logic
Of events and in thelight of radi-
cally changed conditions, altogeth-
er unlike those that marked the
progress of preceding eras. The
producing power of the machine
Is such that there is no excuse
for the want of the necessities Of
life on the part of any person OF
peoples on the face of the earth,
but despite this fact the govern
mcnt is, Of necessity, the only
agency between millions and star
walton, at this time.
We talk of "over production"
when we OUGHT to recognize the
condition as one Of under con-
sumption" We have over produc-
ton for those who are able to
buy, but not for those who need
to consume but are not able to
buy.
As a general proposition the re-
lations of labor and capital have
never been fair. archaeological de-
velopment has rendered more
acute the necessity for n proper
adjustment Of the relations Of Ia
Dor and capital. More than 40
years ago a powerful advocate of
the capitalistic system declared
that "The proper adjustment of
the relations of labor and capital
is a problem that is pressing upon
us with an ever increasing power.
1t is the riddle which the Sphinx
of Time is propounding to this
republic, and which not to answer
is to be destroyed; yet our mining
barons and merchant princes and
money kings go placidly on grind
ing the faces of the poor and cry
ing as did the French aristocrats,
'apres moi lie deluge' - after me
the deluge. If we can not answer
the Sphinx as yet we may pacify
her somewhat and gain time by
guaranteeing to labor all the
rights it possesses under the law
can remorselessly punish all
who invade those rights"
The Sphinx of Time is still pro-
pounding this riddle and the evi.
dence is ointment and plentiful
that Time is rapidly shortening

ed out that there were Democrats
of the past whose opinions could
be quoted against the president.
1t should be clear, therefore, that
this matter should be discussed
with the dressings of fact and in

BY the ASSOCldltG fItSSs
NEW YORK, February 27.-Buyers
titch-hiked with the specialties in
today's stock market.
While selected issues pushed up
fractions to a point or SO, the list
as a whole milled about within a
restricted area.
Most attention was centered on the
merchandising group, but few motor
trucks, steels and electrical equip
ments received their share of support.
News of an especially stimulating
nature appeared to be lacking and
many traders were inclined to stand
aside and await further developments
in labor and legislative fields.
The generally apathetic attitude
exhibited toward the market was re-
f1ected in the total two hours turn
over of 1,0O3,570 shares, which COM
pared with 1,484,730 last Saturday.
1t was the smallest volume since
January 2
The Associated Press average of 80
stocks edged up OIL of point at
72.2. Only 759 issues changed hands.
OF these 318 advanced, 253 declined
and 1873 were unchanged
Indications that pre-Easter shop
ping will set a record for the last
several years stirred demand for re-
1ail shares The Federal Reserve
Bank of New York estimated depart
ment store sales in the metropolitan
district in February recorded sub
stantial increase over the same 1886
month.
Some packing company stocks
brushed up to new recovery tops in
lively dealings on the belief meat
prices are due for further boosts.
Broadening profits were envisaged for
those packers with large inventories.
One or two electrical equipments
leaned forward as principal manu-
facturers in this line were reported
to have bookings on hand and in
prospect sufficient to keep operations
at high level well into the Summer.
Bethlehem Steel wiped out its loss
of Friday, holding a net gain of l as
points at 90. United States steel was
q improved at 11ll4. Bolstering this
group was the belief mill activities
will continue at a peak mark for
some time to come and that the
corporations and Government will
compromise soon on bids for Navy
