pact body of fanatical teetotalers, who will try to bully the rival candidates into conceding their terms in order to secure their votes. In some constituencies whose parties are narrowly decided the trick may succeed, but the general failure of the proposed campaign is certain. No responsible government in Great Britain would dare to put into force a law forbidding the sale of alcohol. Already during the war the country has seen how bad temper has followed on the sale of bad beerThe only sane way of dealing with tht vice of Hxeefsive drinking is severely to punish the drunkard himself."

WHAT DID IT MEAN? There was a striking scene in a Hammond theater yesterday during the display of a current news cinema depicting in pvrt the return of Pershing to America, the fleet's arrival in the Pacific and eocenes taken during the President's junket across the country in the league of nation's campaign- There weje over a thousand people in the theater. They cheered Pershing wildly. Admiral Rodman, Secretary of Navy Daniels, doughboya and marines were handclapped vigorously. Then came the pictures of Wilson and hi3 party. The President was

Was

there any applause? Absolute silence reigned. Not one pair of hands was clapped in parquet, balcony and gallery. It was significant. You can put your own interpretation oi that conspicuous silence.

JAIL PROFITEERS. It may have been that it was because he was one of th "little offenders" that the first man convicted in a

i Diaies court m ."sew orK under the new law against profiteering was allowed to escape with a fine, albeit the latter is of a size to impress him. being $300. The defendant, a retailer, has made an illegal profit of four cents a pound on sugar. Justice, however, should make no difference between a bfg offender and a little one when It comes to applying penalties in accordance with their crimes. The man in this case pleaded guilty to violating the food laws. He had no claiia upon mercy. He had heard cries all about him against profiteers, but proceeded deliberately with his charging of exorbitant prices. At heart he is as bad as the big.iest food robbers, and, in view of the jail sentences imposed upon oommon thieves who steal a few dollars in some inetanoes upon the hungry who steal food he should have been thrown Into a cell. His illegal profits probably have run into the thousands.

Nor was there any call for the kind of talk given him by the judge. The latter, according to the dispatches, f

warned ine oncnaer tnat there are rood regulations and pricelfixing statutes that the government i3 going to enforce to the limit, and that a repetition of his offense will mean a long imprisonment. Who, in the name of common sense, needs further warning of words on this subject? The trouble Is that there has been too much "warning" and wasting of time with academic instruction. Anyone who can. read the English language knows of the campaign against profiteers- Every dealer knows when he 13 charging illegal rates. It is for just Fuch deliberate offenders as the one in this case whether they be big or little, calling for a term of years or one of months that the imprisonment penalty is provided, and It should be applied in every instance. It is not speeches, but jail sentences, that are demanded from the bench in this crusade. Jail them all, big and little.

NEED OF LEADERSHIP.

John L. Lewis, acting president of the Un:ted Mine V.'orkers of America, has declined Wilson's invitation to be a labor representative at the Washington conference

next week. Mr. Lewis is skeptical of the success of the CDnference and does not approve of the delegate personnel"So it becomes evident," says the Laiayette Journal, "that the miners are going to paddle their own canoe and if a satisfactory agreement with the operators Is not reached it is certain that the strike will take place on November 1. In a number of ways a strike of the miners would be of more immediate disastrous consequences to the public than the strike of the steel workers, but there is reason to fear that the country will ba simultaneously confronted with, these twin evils in the very near future, with the possibility of others, e-qually as menacing, to come. "The ccutry. perhaps the world, is undergoing a great change, the outcome of which is hidden from sight. While it seems impossible that we can go forward along the lines demanded by the more radical labor leadership, it is also true that nations and great movements do not long stand still, nor. as a rule, do they retrace the steps they have already taken. "There is no lack of prophets, but there is a great dearth of responsible leadership at a critical period in our history."

Whole City Kept Waiting White Soldier of the Sword and Soldier of the Cro&M Exchange Greeting. When General Pershing halted Ml parade and held all New York waiting for fifteen minutes, while he ran over to greet Cardinal Mercier, every eye in the dense crowds was fastened cm the two linking figures of the Soldier of the Cross and the Soldier f the Sword. The heroic Catholic prelate, who had defied all the armies of the Kaiser, bent eager ry forward to grasp both hands of the smiling military chief who had led our array to bend back from Belgium the Hun invaders. For this moment, a racing transport had hurried the Belgian churchman over to the port of New York, only a few hours before the Pershing parade began to march. He had come to this country to thank all Americans for their succor of his oppressed people, and he had begun his mission most happily by being able to thank John J. Pershint;, first of alL Far overseas, in the devastated

fields of his home land. Cardinal

High Churchman of Devast ated Country Will Ex pre mm Thank of Hi People at Conference of Hierarchy tional Catholic War Council, hara come to the aid of the Cardinal. When he has formally expressed his thanks to the whole American nation, he will hurry to Washington to thank the heads of this national war working body of his church for all that they have done in establishing schools and various welfare units throughout his country. To welcome him at the Capital, Cardinal Mercier will find convened the entire hierarchy of the Catholic Chorea in this country. Cardinal Gibbons has called all the' heads of his church together to take council as to the best way to aid this country in solving its post-war problems through the National Catholic War Council. Now that the grim exigencies of warfare are ended, the Catholic Church may rechristen its organization for national service the "National Catholic Welfare Council.

CALL THEM PUSSYFOOTERS.

The Calcutta Englishman, one of the largest and most Influential of the Colonial newspapers, says of prohibition: "The attempt which has been set on foot by certain American fanatics to organize a teetotal crusade in this coutry will, if it is carried Into effect, arouse an extremely dangerous feeling." the "Daily Graphic" predicts.

These pussyfoot campaigners, as they have been designated in America, there secured a victory for themselves, by artifices which may be tolerated by politicians, but cannot be commended by people 'who believe that truth and honesty are more important than political success. They propose to try the same methods in thi3 country. Their game will be to get in each constituency a com-

PRESERVATTON OF UNITIES.

The H. Norwood Ewing Company of New York, is an enterprising and patriotic concern which is circularizing the trade to inspire interest in its "League of Nations Toilet Pap-r." List to the following lay addressed to the wholesale trade: We are sending you under separate cover a permanent catalogue of our League of Nations toilet paper. We ask that you preserve this booklet for future reference. We have gotten up the most beautiful labels ever used on toilet paper. They are lithographed In four colors and toilet paper rolls under these labels make the most saleable packages ever put out. These beautiful labels, coupled wit hi the very highest quality stock, the bulkiest rolls, the light basis weight, means absolutely the best duplicates in toilet paper. The words used as brands, such as liberator, freedom, justice, peace, security, treaty, covenant, charity, allied are used in the homes, the clubs, the office, and on the streetAll that is lacking to render this Idea captivating and complete is the incorporation of an autograph endorsement of it by "the president himself." Surely, this might be secured for a consideration. What could be finer or more fetching? more suggestive of th high purpose of the league of nations than the Idea offered by the H. Norwood Ewing Company? Fort Wayne News.
