METHODISTS SCORE WILSON. Some lime atto this newspaper had occasion to criticize the anointment of ('eortie Ilerron, the Iowa free-love professor, on a diplomatic mission. Hcrron's escapade with Carrie Rand shocked civilization at the time and the people were astonished at Mr. Wilson's recognition of him. The other day the Methodists of the North Indiana Conference went on record against the appointment. It etank la their nostrils and they made no bones about saying so. The conference adopted the following resolution by a standing vote: Whereas, the president of the United States has appointed to diplomatic service George D. Herron, therefore be it Resolved, That we hereby condemn in unmeasured terms the appointment of this noted, pronounced and operative free lover to this office, and in the interest of good morals, pure homes and downright righteousness we demand his immediate recall, and be it further Resolved, That a copy: of this resolution be sent to the president of the United States properly signed by the officers of this conference. An exchange says that "the Methodists aro not alone In their anger and disgust concerning the high honor paid this moral leper and mental pervert by President Wilson. There is hardly a decent citiren in the wliolo country who ha? nor branded Herron"? preferment as an Insult to thp American people, and how President Wilson can explain so remarkable a lapse on his part, is beyond comprehension. And he probably won't try to explain it. Sufficient for him is that it fitted into his celestial scheme of things." The president is autocratic enough to think that he doesn't have to do any explaining of his acts. The people the common people can go to, as far as he i. concerned.

BEER AND NEAR-BEER. The wet and dry status seems to becoming more and more involved every day. In line with the plan which seems to have been adopted by eastern brewing interests as a first s'ep !n a policy of attempting to thwart the purpose of the nw prohibition amendment to the constitution of the United Ptates. on March If, a suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of N'ew York, by Elihu Root and AViliam D. Guthrie, counsel for the Jacob Hoffman Brewing Company, asking, an injunction restraining the Federal Government from interfering with the manufacture of beer having 2.75 per cent alcoholic content. It is said that every effort will be made to obtain an early decision. This legal proceeding seems to bring definitely and directly before the court the question of the legality of the regulation of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue prohibiting the manufacture of beer containing one-half of one per cent or more of alcohol. The proceeding is a very unusual one, since It peeks to restrain in advance a possible criminal prosecution. Ordinarily the prosecuting officer of the United States Government or of any state cannot be legally enjoined from prosecuting a person charged with a violation of the law; and :n fact a very extraordinary situation would apparently be created if it should prove to be possible successfully to maintain such an action, since it might be possible by such means indefinitely to postpone the trial of individuals charged with even the most serious crimes. The excuse advanced for the extraordinary action being undertaken in this case is that extensive business interests arp involved in r.-je attempt of the Federal Revenue Department to restrict the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages to those containing less than on half of one per cent of alcohol. In discussing this action of the brewers. William H. Anderson. Superintendent of the New York rarp j,,,,.Saloon League, is reported as having said that it will probably necessitate the calling of an extra session of Congress at an earlier date than President Wilson had intended "The brewers hy their defiance of the Executive Departmen of the Government have made action by the legislative branch a real necessity." Mr. Anderson stated.

1JIIHM

Continuing, In- said, "The brewers have, created stun a .situation tint Congress will be compelled to define in toxicatlng liquors and puss adequate enforcement legislation at the earliest possible date. And this may necesj tut.' the c;li;pr. of an extra Hlon sooner than the ; 'v.'sMent Intended In order to prevent confusion after Ju! let. win n the itatuto becomes effective." It is reported that the entire matter is now being considered by A. Mitchell Palmer, the newly appointed Attorney General, who, It Is understood, will t undertake to decide what the alcoholic tienth of beer may be without violation of the law. It appears that under the present regulations, beer having 2 7," per cent alcohol may be manufactured, but that it cannot be sold until it is reduced to less than one half of one per cent, and it is this rule which has hcen attacked in the opinion of attornevs Root and Guthrie, furnished the brewing interests on March 17, ailvisin-r them that, providing beer containing 2 7." per cent alcohol ts not in fact tntoxicat int. it can be lawfully sold. NO BOLSHEVISM NEEDED HERE; Tlio American people have proven themselves to he the r.rcatest wonder of the world. This i-; true not merely because th- have, within a poriod of four centuries, converted a huge, savace wihlernos.-; into the richest and most powerful of all nations, hut part M'ularly because they have created and tii.-iin:a-'n, tl continuously since its organisation in 177t a covernm nt which stands, and N well worth of ttand-in-;. a a model lor all the world. It is understandable thaf people of ethor nations, because of the fhmsy structures upon which many of

should drift hHrdly or desperately towards the Niag-nin'sm.-'.- - an.stchi.-m. holshevistn, or what not -which confront many governments in Europe today, but America need-! none of those; for Americans are already free

to do whatever they want to do and to he whatever they ) want to ho. in this great country there Is no need nor excuse for anarchism nor for bolshevism nor for any j of the other un'ried or discerited dreams of over-j wroueht and disordered minds; for, whatever of hap- i piness or of freedom or of welfare is conceivable by j mortal mind is already easily obtainable by us when j ever a fair share of our people conclude that they really i desire if. If the American people want to manage or to own i the railroads or the telegraph lines or any other Amen-i can bminess or industry they can. by the quiet, peace-!

able use of their ballots, put their available legal machinery into motion and the thing is done. Indeed, whatever our people want to do or undo they have but to speak through the ballot and it will be speedily accomplished either by making, enforcing, or by repeal ing laws or by amendment to the Constitution. Moreover this power of the ballot Is so great tha' we Americans can. on short notice at any time, aid in a perfectly peaceable and lawful manner, by means of suitable Constitutional amendments and laws and through the power of suffrage, not merely change our statutory and Constitutional provisions to any extent desired, but we ran. if we so will, go to the extent of repealing ail of our laws, and even the Constitution itself, and set up a limited or absolute monanby or any other form of Government, ciiher with or without a Constitution. Since, then, rnder our present form of government we already have this absolute freedom of action it would seem that there can be no justification nor ex cuso whatever for tho at'itudo of those who preach or advocate political creed or doofr'nes in conflict with the fundamental principles of our creat, free. American government. LOOKING IN THE FUTURE. The old. old dream of wjg-wacging with Mars may yet come true. Signor Marconi thinks electrical scientists of the future will be able to communicate, bv means of wireless, with the planets - mathematics being the language for inter-planetary conversation. Kther waves, the conductors of the wireless ray, are universal, he believes. "I have often pondered over Ihe strange sicnals that seem to come from the realms of space beyond this world," Signor Marconi stated in an interview. "Possibly the people of Mais have had, or are having, the same troubles as ourselves perhaps they, too. have their Kaiser, their Huns, and their Holsheviks to endure, and now from a distance of millions of miles aie trvina: to give us their latest communique, which we shall not receive for many generations, if at ail. "A leading scientific official being interrogated on the subject said: 'We are progressing rapidly in wireles telegraphy, but how soon we shail be able to taik to the stars remains to the savants of the future.' "The distance of some planets is so great that it takes llht, which travels at the rate of 1 SG.nOO miles a second, more than "0.o00 jears 1o travel from them to the earth the nearest star is more than nineteen million milep away. "It is interesting o note," he said, ' that a Ptientist in America, experimenting in long-distance wireless, sent off a message tind received it back one-seventh of a Feeond later, it. having travelled right round the earth a distance of 2.",000 miles." The official continued: "The spark of the wireless apparatus diminishes slightly the farther it goes, and 'is consequently a little more difficult to detect, but, however, there may be some hopp of communicating with the planets, for The detectors in use at present are n thousand irne sstroncer than they were four years ago. And besides," he continued, "the strength of the wireless spark is practically illimitable." "Mars is a small planet lit tie more than half the size of the earth but the atmosphere surrounding it is. as far as we can ascertain, very similar to our own, PO it appears that Mars will probably be more responelve to our messages than any other." The scientific experimentalists and officials of the Marconi company are religiously firm in support of Signor Marconi's encasing thesis, thourh Marconi himself complains that messages he sent ten years ago have not yet reached some nf the mwrest stars.
