S Now, therefore, hearken unto me, O ye chlldren; for blessed are they that keep my ways.—Proverbs 8:32. Legai Qualifications OHIO ls tightening upon ita quallfications for admission to thè bar. It is becoming more generally reallzed that thè legai profession is a learned profession and not one to which anyone may be admitted regardless of qualifications. It is almost as important for a lawyer to be skilled as it is for a physician to know his business. Legai matters are not usuaìly matters of lise and death, but in most cases they are matters of liberty and property. An unscrupulous or ignorant lawyer may be responsive for a man of his liberty or of his property. The Constitution of Indiana provides that a Citizen of good moral character may practice law. No educational requirements are prtscribed. Time and again efforts have been made to make thè qualifications for entrance lnto thè bar more stringente Every effort along this line has failed, largely becauso thè public has showed a lack of interest. It xvould be well for thè Legislature to start on ite way another constitutional amendment to remedy this. It may be successful thè next time. Slowing Them Down Aspeed limit of ten miles an hour in thè downtown district has been prescribed by thè police department. This may not be' a step toward thè preventlon of traffic jains, but it certainly is a step in thè direction of safety. Since thè installation of thè tower system of traili regulation there has been an increasing tendency to Epeed up traffic in thè downtown district. With adequate police protection, this in itself may not be dangerous, but it most certainly leads to thè habit of speetìing. If a driver is allowed to speed through thè congested district he will be very likely to speed in thè residence sections of thè city. In cities where traffic is speeded up, fast driving is usually allowed or.ly on long streets with few intersections, such as Michigan Ave. in Chicago. Speed may be safe there, but it certainly is not on Washington St. with thè numerous cross streets and thè Constant pedestrian tràffic through these Streets. Class Legislation THE tendency of law makers to think in terms of thè interests of certain classes and not of thè interests of thè people as a whole is one of thè greatest causes of unsatisfactory conditions in thè country. It is common enough to find members of Congress or State Legislatures who insist, for example, That thè tax burden of thè farmer must be lightened, that wages of laboring men must not be decreased or that conditions be made more favorable for business interests. But it is rare indeed that a law maker talks in terms of thè welfare of thè whole community. As a result we have all sorts of lobbies and blocs, representing all sorts of special interests and their influence Qn legislation is tretfiendous. , Reai progress ne ver can be made In governmental affairs so long as lawdnaking bodies make thè interests of thè people as a whole subservient to those of special classes of our citizenship. You Own Them? REMEMBER those war savings stamps and certiflcates that you bought in 1918? Better hunt them up. They're “due - ’ Jan. 1, Principal and interest. And Lfncle Sam is ready to pay them off, or trade them for new certificates at 4 per cent interest compounded twice a year, whichever you want. Treasury officiaìs estimate that no less than 15,000,000 Americans own these war obligations. Are you ope of them? If so, when you “cash in” you’ll realize that thè safest investment in thè world is Uncle Sam. Knndreds.of thousands of spendthrifts and stock market snckers are wishing they had invested in war savings' stamps and certificates. A million doesn t look as big as it used to. Most of u&talk of a million as if it were a dozen eggs. Nevertheless, you’ll admit that 5625,000,000 is consideratile of a figure. That’s thè total value of thè war savings stamps and certificates maturing Jan. 1, 1923. If everyone insista on cash payment, Uncle Sam will have to turn a few financial handsprings. His loose cash in thè national treasury will be rather low at thè end of thè year. So he hopes that most of thè holders—half, at least *iH trade for thè new five-year treasury certificates.

Attorney GeneraVs Reperì Sliows Wide Violation of Prohibition Law

By United Press WASHINGTON, Dee. 7.—The widespread extent of prohibition law violations which has caused concern to Presldent Harding and Cabinet was -revealed today in the annual report to Congress of Attorney General Dhugherty. Approximately 35,000 persona were arrested by the Federai Government for violation of the national prohllaw durlng the last fiscla year, accordlng to the report. Ci vii cases prosecuted by the Government during the same time numbered 2,157. These criminal and civll actlons, however, represent only a small part of all the arrests made in the United States for the same period. Nearly four times as many more arrests were made by locai, county and State

Hiram Johnson Has Little Progressive Bloc All His Own

Bp Timrg Speriaì WASHINGTON, Dee. 7.—While progressives from thè other fortyseven States in thè Union are assembling in Washington to form a people's bloc, Hiram Johnson, Bull Mooser, presidential timber, and Senator re-elect from California is stormlng thè ramparts of privilege all up and down his fair State organizing his own progressive movement. Hiram’s narae was not mentioned at thè progressive bloc assembly here. No messale from his was read. He, thè outstanding progressive candidate in thè last presidential campaign, was accounbed for only by thè oft-repeated que*f: *

Wise investors will. It’s as good as money in thè bank—some ways, better. If you want to cash your war savings stamps and oertiflcates in full, you can deposit them with thè postofflce any day now for collection, or turn them in to your bank on or aster Jan. 1. If you have, say, $25 of maturing war savings certificates, you can exchange them for a new $25 treasury certificate maturing Jan. 1, 1928, and get $4.50 cash to boot. And so on, in large quantities. The new certificates will be issued in denominations of $25, SIOO and SI,OOO each. No individuai can get more tham $5,000 worth of these certificates. They’re tax exempt, by thè way. In this deal, whieh involves $625,000,000, Uncle Sam is doing business with thè people. You, thè owner of certificates, are one of his bankers. He says to teli you that he’d prefer extending thè loan. But he can hand over thè cash if you f£eì you need it more than he does. U. S., you know, means “us.” Permit Usto Say The most serious mistake on earth is being too serious. What will you give your wife for Christmas? Let us suggest a box of thè kind of cigars you smoke. The height of ignorance ls thinking you know everything. A girl tells us none of her fellows will make a date with her becauso Christmas is so near. Getting a S4O bill is unlucky because there are no S4O bills. Oregon professor says teaehers should know 4,000 words and thè small bovs say ‘‘Study this at ‘homo” should not be among them. It ls estimated that opening tin cans has cut too many fingers. New safety razor works like a lawn mower. Now we need a clothes brush thar works like a Street sweeper. Clemenceau says he favors a law prohibiting long skirts. We are against it because that would make them wear long skirts.

officiaìs for violation of State and locai dry statutes, it was estimated. $120,000 in Judgments Federai officiala convicted 22,729 peraons in criminal cases and secured a total of $120,000 in judgments in the civil sults. % The population of the Federai priaons for the same period increased to 6,395, compared with 5,268 for the last fiscal year, Heber IL Votaw, brother-ln-law of President Harding, and superintendent of prisons, reported. The increase was held due largely to increased violation of tho anti drug act, counterfoiting and violation of the postai laws. V hite sla very is on the decrease, William J. Burns, head of the bureau of investigatìon of the department, reported. A total of 1,885 yeara in prison was imposed on the 3,526 persons convicted for white slavery,

The answer comes from far-offi California, from whence Comes news that “thè progressive war cry has been raised once again in California, sounded by Senator Hiram Johnson in commemoration of Theodore Roosevelt, re-echoed by a thousand men and wopien from all thè northern counties, it has gene linging through thè State and Nation—a trumpet cali to battle for thè cause of progress and humanity against thè forces of reaction.” Whatever that ìmeans, it then appears that Hiram has been devoting thè past few day d to thè organization of “Roosevelt clqbs” to which all who hate. privilege aàd love thè people are urgeu to come. \

THE IN ULLN AEOLlte TIMES

Advertisements Show Philosophy of Wanamaker By NEA Service PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 7.—ln thè advertisements of one of thè greatest chain of Philadelphia and New York department Stores lies thè philosophy of John Wanamaker, 84-year-old millionaire merchant, who has been suffering from a severe cold for thè last two months. This philosophy of human sympathy and cooperation is what developed this business pioneer from a poor farm boy lnto one of thè most respected charactere in thè country. His interest in thè Y. M. C. A. led him to donate money for thè establishment of branches all over thè World. He helped sound other religious and social Institutions which are today refuges for thè poor. As postmaster generai under Prestdent Harrlson, Wanamaker lntroduced sea pbstoffices, banished lotteries from thè malls, expanded free delivery and establlshed rural delivery'. Few knew thè feellngs of this man until 1912, when they carne out In pithy, eptgrammatic sayings In his department store advertisements. They were helpful paragraphs which were printed almost daily until his recent illness and which brought hlm many letters of appreclation. That he practiced what he preached is shown by his sudden reduction of 20 per cent in thè prices of all his merchandise. In 1920, to help thè country return to normal. Fanner Reduced to Dire Straits Eban Hensley, a farmer living elght miles southeasta o t thè city, who has been paying sl2 a week for thè supPgrt of two minor daughters of his divorced wife and himself, secured a reduction of thè amount to $8 a week in Circuit Court. On Oct. 1 Hensley was -clted for contempi of court for not making thè weekly payments. and then gave his total asseta at twelve tons of bay, two old horses and S3OO In Liberty bonds, which last belonged to thè girls. He was then ordered to Bell thè hay. Today he was under orders to seti thè Liberty bonds. Hensley told thè court that he had nothlng with which to feed his team of horses. He introduced wltnesses to swear that thè farmere .in his viclnlty were not mak Ing any money.

Lenehan told newspaper men thè daily turnover of prisoners in the county jail is too great to permit study. He said he graduated from Yale in 1916 and secured his M. D. degree from Middlesex College in 1921 and was atone time attached to the medicai staff at Sing Sing Prison.
