F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league says it may be legal to make homo brew, in which decision he seems to disagree with the Supreme Court ot the United States which ruled the other day that it is even illegal to sell the material for making it. Most every' one is criticizing Pr< sident Hoover these days and we shall not attempt to say howmuch is deserving and how much unwarranted but this we knowhad he been elected by the democrats he would have long ago been heralded as the most incompetent and inefficient man ever to have been chosen. When you receive that statement for your dues to the Chamber of Commerce, sit down and write a check and mail it in remembering that this will save the cost of employing a solicitor and will cheer the boys who devote their time and efforts without cost to do those things which will help every body in the community.

You don't noeel to think that all tovyna and cities will fight for a 'larger ebnsus, in fact several over i tin Illinois and perhaps in Indiana where tlie same thing applies, are asking recounts because they are slightly over 2.500 population which iis tile limit its which the state builds and maintains the streets over which the state highways run. That makes quite a difference in the tax rate. When Meredith Nicholson gets through with his job as democratic chairman ot the Seventh Indiana district, to which position he was elected the other day he will be ready to write a political novel that will prove one of the best sellers. He wrote one of those some years ago before he had the actual experience he will probably have now and it would be interesting to get his new angle.

Fort Wayne with a population of 115,121 will continue to be the second city in the state, exceeded in Inum be r s only by Indianapolis, [south Bend with 103,0(10 is third and Evansville is fourth, the latter failing to reach the hundred thousand .mark by about one thousand, all of which settles a lot of disputes for a few weeks after which they will all begin making new claims and within a year or so the fight will be on again. The average cost of conducting the recent primary in Indiana seems to have been about one dollar per vote which is a rather expensive proposition and one of the arguments being used effectively j by those opposed to this form of selecting candidates. In Allen county where there were 19.00' votes cast the cost was SIB,OOO and twice as many legal voters remainei at, home as went to the polls. If only a third of the folks will vote, why should we continue to have expensive primaries? Some times it looks foolish. A few days ago half a dozen small boys were playing in Central Park, in New York. They found some two dozen cylindrical, varnished little sticks, with gray printing on their sides. These sticks made excellent playthings. The hoys amused themselves for several minutes with them, throwing them around, tossing them up in

the air and catching them and otherwise doing what playful small boys might" lx? expected to do with nice, shiny little sticks. Then a man came along and examined the sticks, he gulped, then called a policeman. The boys had been playing with dynamite sticks, cached under a bush by thieves who had stolen them a few days before from a construction job! How they managed to fling that dynamite < around without getting blown to bits is something that their guardian angels will have to explain. Sometimes, of course, the great body of consumers who have been inarticulate during the making of the tariff develop a very big voice at election time and congress is made to regret its action. That is what some political prophets are i predicting will happen this year. Put whether congress misreads the political skies is not the important thing. The big question is whether it misreads the economic needs of the country; whether the total benefits of tariff taxes are greater than the total cost. It is not whether the consumer will revolt, but whether he ought to revolt. Both possibilities may usefully enter into the considerations of members of congress who will soon decide how much the tariff is to cost. Today most Americans agree that some measure of protection is necessary; but certainly most of them also agree that some summits of protection — indeed, many summits in the present SmootHawley bill — are too “steep" in piic* . —Christian Science Monitor.
