Enforcing Liquor Laws That it is impossible to enforce the prohibition laws without throwing away some of the safeguards of the bill of rights becomes more evident as the professictial dry leaders attempt to make use of search warrants. The more frank of these leaders admit that until there is a more virile public opinion in favor of prohibition, a system of espionage and of search of suspected places of sale and manufacture is necessary. To the fanatical dry, the right of every person to be secure in his home is not so important as the stopping of the sale or manufacture of bootleg whisky. Not so very long ago there was little protest when the dry forces demanded laws that would permit snoopers and smellers to prosecute as they wished. The turn of the tide of public opinion has come and brought with it a danger that is as bad as was the intolerant attitude of the dry bosses when they dictated laws and the policies of public officials. Some of the lower courts seem to take the attitude that the bootlegger is entitled to a protection under the Constitution which was never intended by those who framed the bill of rights. The Constitution was never drawn as a protection for criminals or a shield for law violators. It was intended to prevent official entry into the homes of self-respecting citizens who have a right t* privacy and to security from invasion. The law is the same for the bo'‘logger as it is for every other citizen, and the same rules of search should apply to him as would apply to a man suspected of having stolen goods or committed any other crime. The Supreme Court of this State has interpreted the law in a sane and reasonable manner so that these lower courts should have little trouble in following it. That lower courts, at the behest of lawyers for those who are manifestly guilty, listen to pleas which turn the bill of rights from a protective weapon against tyrany to a refuge for the lawbreaker is as bad as the intolerant spirit which slut every citizen under suspicion and left his home open to unlawful search whenever envy, hatred or gossip desired to embarrass the innocent. The liquor laws are difficult to enforce and will always be difficult to enforce until public opinion recognizes drinking as a crime and lists it with murder, theft and arson in disfavor. But that is no reason for running wild in trying to protect those who violate this law by tricky interpretations of other laws.

ji - / The Press and the Public The international press conference which was called to order yesterday at Geneva, Switzerland, may prove of extraordinary importance to the people of the United States and the world. In this day of enlightenment, international relations largely depend upon public opinion. And public opinion is mostly a matter of what the public reads in the news columns of its daily newspaper. That is the way current information is distributed. It is of vital importance, therefore, that our news should be news and not propaganda. Given cdntrol over the news, and through it, over public opinion, a tiny minority might easily bring about any situation it cared to, including war itself. This applies particularly when it comes to “official,” or government, news. Control over such news is the main question before the Geneva conference. Two groups of press representatives are present. One group represents the “official,” subsidized or otherwise controlled press. The other is composed of the representatives of the independent news associations such as the United Press. The subsidized or controlled press associations, with their allies, seek a monopoly over official news. The independents are insisting upon absolute equality of treatment with the “official” agencies, both as to access and to the distribution of news, via wire, cable or radio. Here, then, is a battle in the public interest, if ever there was one. \ Is the public to be spoon-fed by subsidized or controlled news purveyors, or is it to get the unvarnished news through independent agencies and form its own conclusions? In words of simple syllables, that’s the problem before the world's press representatives at Geneva. Nor is it difficult for the public to see which is the wholesome and which the unwholesome side. Business Man? Hardly. There is one real weakness in Agriculture Secretary Jardine’s new farm relief plan. Like the secretary’s previous proposals, it attempts to flatter the farmer into thinking himself a business man. Despite the fact that he borrows from three to four billion dollars a year from private bankers and from one to three billions in credit from merchants, it may actually be that what the farmer now needs is more money. And, if the Government provides a $300,000)000 revolving fund for price stabilization, it may be that the Government has the right to expect due interest. But a protest becomes necessary when Secretary Jardlne cheerfully announces: “This advance would not be a gift. It would be a loan to be repaid with interest. . . . The principle is that of farmers ns business men helping themselves.” If the farmer is a business man, why doesn’t he prosper naturally by his constantly increasing efficiency? Seventy-five years ago a farm hand was able to care for an average of only twelve acres. Today the average is thirty-four acres, and in some States 100 acres. American farm efficiency increased 22.5 per cent from 1910 to 1920, the number of workers falling off 9 per oent, but- production leaping 11 per cent. Tha net*benefit to the fanner has been surplus production and economic collapse. He produced around 18,000,000 bales of cotton in 1920, greatest crop in history, and the selling price was below the growing cost. This year, however, because weevils and weather promise devastation, the cotton grower can expect a fair price. In other words, to be a successful business man, the'farmer must grow only one cotton shirt where he might grow two. If the farmer is a business man, expected to pay interest, why can’t he manage to collect interest on hla own Investment? i The amount of machinery In use on farms In-

creased thirteen fold from 1870 to 1920. Land and equipment used in producing the Nation’s crops is now estimated by the Government at $16,308 per farm. The average net income per farmer, making no allowance for interest on his investment, was 1,157 in 1926.

Mr. Business Man ... “I propose a scheme to develop anew market in China big enough both for her own products and for the products of foreign countries. Here is my scheme: I. The development of a communications system. (a) 100,000 miles of railways. (b) 1,000,000 miles of surfaced roads. (c) Improvement of existing canals. (and) Construction of new canals. (e) Flood control. (f) Construction of telegraph, telephone and radio systems. 11. Commercial harbor development. (a) The construction of three harbors the equal of the New York harbor—one in north, one In central and one in south China. (b) The establishment of various smaller harbors. (c) Dock construction along navigable rivers. 111. Modernize Chinese cities, including the construction of public utilities wherever needed. IV. Water power development. V. Iron, steel and cement works on a scale large enough to supply above needs. VI. Mineral development. VII. Agricultural develpoment. VIII. Irrigation projects on the largest scale in Mongolia and Sinkiang (Chinese Turkestan). IX. Reforestation in central and north China. X. Colonization in Manchuria, Mongolia, Sinkiang, Kokonor and Thibet. “If the above program can be carried out gradually, China will not be merely a desirable ‘dumping ground’ for foreign goods, but actually will be an ocean’ capable of absorbing all the surplus capital as quickly as the industrial nations can produce it. “China, with 4,289,000 square miles, a population of 400,000,000 people and the richest mineral and agricultural resources in the world, is now a prey of militaristic and capitalistic powers—a greater bone of contention than the Balkan peninsular. “Unless the Chinese question can be settled peacefully, another world war greater and more terrible than the last, will be inevitable. To settle it I suggest China’s development along the above lin?s, with all the great nations of the wor’d participating In cooperation with the Chinese.” Such was the plan of Sun Yat-Sen, China’s George Washington, as outlined for this newspaper’s foreign. editor in CJanton six years ago and autographed by Sun to show its authenticity. I tis dug out of our archives now to show just how little sense there is in the talk about a communistic China. That, and to give some idea of the colossal business awaiting the American business man in the Far East once Sun's nationalist program is put into practice. Why did Sun’s enemies move heaven and earth to discredit him? Have a second look at his program. The Chinese development of Manchuria and Mongolia would remove a plum which Japan hopes one day to pluck. The development of Thibet, Chinese Turkestan, etc., and the building of great Chinese ports would hit Britain and Britain’s vast port of Hongkong, andko on. America, however, has every reason to hope for a Chinese awakening. Think of the machinery, automobiles, locomotives and rolling stock, port dredges, radio and telegraph supplies and whatnot that would be needed in Sun Yat Sen’s program, not to mention the market of 400,000,000 buyers there would be when the program had been carried out. It simply staggers the imagination. # We’re expecting a reversal of the President's stand on renomination shortly after Mrs. Coolidge sees in what a ducky way the White House has been remodeled. No sooner had the naval disarmament conference failed than the rum fleet opened up on our muchabused coast guard. Our dramatic appreciation seems to be improving. No longer do they dress Hamlet in plus-fours to prove that he was crazy. It’s a safe bet that the Oklahoma man who stabbed to death a 100-pound catfish couldn’t emerge unscathed from a battle with a can of sardines. It’s always a relief when a boy gets big enough so his father can wear his discarded clothes.

Law and Justice By Dexter M. Keezer ’

A man and his wife found it impossible to live together agreeably and so drew up a contract providing for separate maintenance. The man agreed to turn half of his property over to his wife and to provide an allowance of S2O a month for their child; the wife agreed that if this were done she would abandon any claim upon her husband for support. The terms of the contract were carried out, but subsequently the wife sought to obtain a share of her husband’s income. Her argument was that her agreement to give up all claims to future support by her husband was not binding because she had no right to make such an arrangement without the sanction ol! the State. The husband claimed that his wife, a mature woman of good judgment, had a right to make such a contract, and it should be binding. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Illinois decided that the woman’s agreement to give up her claims to future support by her husband was hot binding. The court said that a “husband cannot by contract relieve himself of the obligation imposed upon him by law to support his wife.” Such a ccontract, it was decided, is contrary to public policy unless sanctioned by the State.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: The American People Do Not Sense How Cordially They Have Come to Be Disliked.

YOUNGSTOWN, 0., Aug. 25. This is the Ruhr of America—a valley filled with furnaces and foundries running down the Mahoning to the Ohio, up the Ohio to Pittsburgh and far beyond. If you would know how America cooks iron lor half the world, this is the place to visit. Never so clear the day bat there is a haze to soften the landscape, never so dark the night but there are glows in the sky, never so cold the winter but the Mahoning runs warm with hot water from foundry and rolling mill. A wonderful region, if one would know the secrets of this age, and what really makes modern life modern. Steel and Men Youngstown is Just another Pittsburgh—all steel. Production is of from 30 per cent to 35 per cent, but one would never guess it from appearances. This town is said to have the highest wage scale in America. The fact that women form but a sinali percentage of its population is part of the explanation. Women, in spite. of their new freedom, their venturesomeness and versatility, have never found much of a place in steel. Explaining Market There are various theories as to why steel is off. Some 8 ttribute it to a lowered production of automobiles, some to an overproduction of oil which has lessened the demand for pipe lines, some to a let-up in building and some to an unexpected slackening of foreign markets. Foreign markets have not turned out as well as many thought they would, mainly bee; me many hoped for too much. It was unreasonable that Europe would continue to buy as much steel and other commodities from us as she did during the war, yet business has persisted In dancing to that tune. Soft Hearts and Heads Not only was Europe bound to re-enter production In every possible line, but it was a foregone conclusion that debt would force her to compete with us for every possible outlet more fiercely than before. We entered the war with sc.t hearts and came out of it with soft heads. We seemed to take it for granted that once the armistice was signed, Europe would buy all we had to sell her at any price we might charge out of sheer gratitude. Instead of assuming that she would put her mills and factories to work just as soon as she could, we hugged the comfortable notion that they had been closed permanently. We also hugged the comfortable notion that we had sewed up Asiatic and Latin American markets for good. Causes Are Obvious Very few Americans appear to have foreseen the reaction that was bound to set in. The slump in foreign trade catches us wholly off guard and the political antagonism staggers us, yet both are the logical results of obvious causes. In the first place we made money out of the war, wh-’e Europe lost. In the second place we were in a position to take things easy, while Europe was compelled to work over time by what she owpd. In the third place we claimed full credit for the victory, though we had few scars to show for it. In the fourth place we adopted -n attffude toward advanced political opLdons which made us appear tho most reactionary nation on earth. Whether from an economic or political standpoint, the United States has become a common target for the world to shoot at. The American people do not sense how cordially they have come to be disliked. They know th*y are not aS black as they have been painted, and they cannot believe that they are as generally misunderstood as reports seem to indicate. / Misunderstanding The point is of course, that we Americans misunderstood other people just about as badly as other people misunderstood us. Indeed, failure on the part of various peoples to understand each other is mainly responsible for the present situation. Colored news, subsidized press service and official propaganda have had much to do with creating a self satisfied, but woefully mistaken public opinion in all countries. Each nation has been schooled to believe that it was not only a little better, but a little bettc- off than its neighbors, and when anything occurred to blur the rosy picture,, it has been that its neighbors were responsible. Press Battle The United States has suffered little from this prostitution of news within its own territory, but it has suffered just as much as any other country in the prostitution of outside news. Government controlled news services have not only given us a partial and prejudiced picture of what was going on out yonder, but they have given their people a partial and prejudiced picture of what was going on here. This is the condition which the United Press is now fighting to overcome at Geneva. What the United Press wants is freedom and equality for all news services. It wants this not only as a matter of justice to the people of each of the thirty-seven. countries which it serves, but as matter of to all nenpi.e from an mternaf'nal standpoint. ‘

Taint A Question of “Choose”, Sister!

Like a Breath of Ancient Scotland Is the Theme of Buchans *Witch Wood/a Tragedy of Witches

Those who have read and even studied with pleasure the works of Sir Walter Scott will relish meeting John Buchan and his new story of Scotland around 1664, called “Witch Wood.” ’ To my way or thinking, “Witch Wood” is the nearest approach to true Scotch that we have had in printed form in many years. When Houghton Mifflin Company sent me “Witch Wood.” I recalled with pleasure Buchan’s “The Three Hostages.” Buchan is a master of Scotch dialect of the other days, especially during the period of the Covenanters, the days of the struggle of the Kirk. The central figure In “Witch Wood” is David Sempill, the young minister of the Scotch Kirk at Woodille, a town overshadowed by a mysterious and evil forest or woods. In my study of tolerance the world over. I have never found a more striking example of narrow-minded, criminality on the part bf some people who profess to have real religion. - The fear and horror of witchcraft, of course, at that time in Scotland played an importan. part in Woodille, if the author has given us facts as well as fiction. It is this hidden and serious secret building up of a cult that froliced in the-moonlight in a forest which gives the touch of mystery to “Witch Wood.” The reader actually works with the new pastor of the Kirk in trying to find the leader of this stranpe band of men and women who put on artificial dogs heads and of c ’tier animals as they froliced in a most wild and indecent manner in the woods. We suifer with th# pastor when he flri;t discovers these strange goings on in the forest or woods as the “dog headed” man turns on him. We climb trees with him when he attempts to see the strange rites acted all over again in the woods. The village folks feared the woods and its darkness and pretended that they never entered. One of the leaders of the kirk, who thought he was chosen by God, was the loudest and the most dangerous enemy of of the pastor. But this leader in the fl-.ial passages of the story, actually ’jecomes the “dotj” of his mad passion. And yet as strange as my idea of “Witch Wood” is, I am sure that you will relish pure Scotch of its many characters whose dialect breathes of the old Scotland of years ago. There is lot of humor expressed by

the characters but it is the masterful handling of the influence of the kirk and the woods upon the minds of the people that causes one to consider Buchan a master at this sort of writing. The people of Woodille in long years after the strange goings on, still maintain that the fairies and maybe {he devil kidnaped the young pastor of the kirk. And those who are looking for a love romance will find the pastor engaged in one of the sweetest and most unusual love affairs ever put in print.

Why the Weather?

fiSf Meteorology"

THE RESOURCES OF THE ATMOSPHERE Our forefathers knew only a few uses for air. Today we look upon the atmosphere as a field for exploitation quite as important as the ground beneath our feet. The modern industrial chemist mines the air on a vast scale for nitrogen and oxygen, and to some extent for its rarer gases. Argon, extracted from the air, is used for filling electric light bulbs. Neon, from the same source, is used in a kind of electric lamp that gives an orange-colored light adapted for electrical advertising signs and other purposes. The “fixation” of atmospheric nitrogen in the form of ammonia and other compounds has relieved the once critical shortage of these products. Most of the oxygen used in the industries for cutting and welding metals and other purposes Is obtained by the process of liquefying air at low temperatures. Compressed air is a wonderfully efficient means of transmitting and applying power, almost vieing with electricity in the number of its applications. On account of its elasticity air is the best of shock abosorbers, and hence is used as a cushion in pneumatic tires, door checks and elevator shafts. (All rights reserved by Science Service, Inc,)!
