ST. LOUIS, June 4.-Secretary of
War Harry H. Woodring told St. Louis
business men yesterday "the only prac-
tical way to stop the expectation of
American capital and American initia-
tive is to make it more profitable for
both to stay at home"
He declared ''uneconomic tariffs and
excessive nationalism" had caused
much of this country's permanent un-
employment because Of the forced in
vestment of millions and millions of
dollars of American capital in foreign
manufacturing plants to the detriment
of American labor"
But the tariff is no longer a political
ISSUE" the cabinet member asserted
in an address before a Chamber of
Commerce luncheon.
Nobody proposes unrestricted trade
or even a sudden. drastic reduction
in the tariff. Every one should realize
that freer-not free-trade is essen
tial to the restoration of industrial
political and social health in this coun-
try and the world"

LET'S FAVOR
FlNGERPRlNTING
(OroVille Mercury-RegisteT)

(OrOVllle Mercury -ReglSter)
Newspapers can do something for the
common. decent persons by convincing
them that fingerprints are for their own
protection
That statement from Nat Pieper, head
of the G-men Of this area, means some
thing 1t should be observed 10y all the
common, decent people, and it forti-
fieS the Mercury in its long effort to fur
ther the cause of universal fingerprint-
ing.
Many a time we have said that the
decent person has nothing to fear from
universal fingerprinting. Yet the com
mon man has a distaste for the idea be-
cause in his mind it is associated with
crime.
The only way we ever shall get uniVer-
sal fingerprinting is by general demand
that cannot be ignored by the politicians
The latter are afraid to sponsor it be
cause they fear they may lose the votes
of those who in their ignorance and pre-
judice dislike the proposal.
Universal fingerprinting would be
long step forward in the prevention and
punishment of crime. Crime now is
steadily on the increase, contrary to the
general impression to the contrary. In
this country alone 5000 arrests are made
daily for major crimes, and a murder
is committed every 40 minutes.
We should not hold back ON universal
fingerprinting when our best authorities
on crime control ask for this aide.

LIQUOR DEALERS SEE DANGER
(San BernardinO Sun


Retail or on sale liquor licenses have
been issued in California for every 257
inhabitants. This does not include sev-
eral thousands off sale licenses for the
dispensation of liquor in wholesale lots.
The figures are those of the Retail BeV-
erage Dispensers association.
Under the constitutional provision un-
der which the people themselves set up
the regulations for the handling of liquor
in California there is apparently little
likelihood that the figures can be mate
rally changed.
Proper enforcement of standards of
dencency is impossible under such cir
cumstances. a large percentage of the
retail liquor establishments are dives or
worse. They put the old-time saloon TO
shame.
The retailers association senses the
danger TO its members in such a situa-
ton There are earnest suggestions that
steps should be taken to reduce the Ii
censes to 1000 or 1900 per capita. In
other words the handlers of liquor re-
cOgniZe that it is not probable the people
of California will continue to stand for
the existing chaotic situation. They seek
a measure Of reform before the people
take matters in their own hands, where
the issue belongs, and do something dras-
tic.
But drastic reform is required. The
promise of repeal was that the saloon
would not return There would be tenn
perance and there would be decency
What California got is a situation far
worse than that Of either the old saloon
days or prohibition.

If GARNER DISAGREES
WITH Mr.. ROOSEVELT

Much in the news lately has been the
rumor of an open break between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Vice-President John
n. Garner over the Presidents latest
pump printing program.
Party politicians will disagree, but
we believe such a dispute would be an
eminently healthy sign.
1t would be different if the Vice-preSi-
dent were an appointed official, named
to President Roosevet's cabinet by the
President himself He is not. He is an
elective official, sworn TO uphold the
constitution and perform his duty as best
he can. If he believed one thing and did
another, he would not be doing his duty
to the best Of his ability.
An appointed cabinet official is, in
measure, helper chosen by the Presi-
dent to perform duties as the President
wants them performed. The vice-presi-
dent, on the other hand, has definite obli-
cations placed upon him by the cOnstltu-
tion and by his oath, and neither one de-
clares that he must go along with the
president or with his party regardless
of his own convictions.
1t is unusual when man known as
downright party, man and so has
Garner been known-proves that he
places conviction above party. 1t is heart
ening, too, to the voters who elected hlm
Whether we agree with the Vlce-presl-
dent makes no difference; we are forced
to admire him for. doing something nine
out of ten men would not do. 1t takes
courage to take the stand Garner has
taken. The fact that he has taken it
proves conclusively that democracy in
the United States is not on its death bed
and it proves, too, that there is no
basic weakness in the Democratic party.
Gamers stand may cause momentary
rift in party lines, but Democrats
throughout the nation should thank him
for one thing-he has proved that there
is strength in the party even now, and
that it is not the strength of one man.
