CAN LAW COMPEL SOBRIETY ? National prohibition has developed uutnher of interesting Bituationa, but few ar more intere.-i ing thaa the ease 'which has found its way into the eourta of New York City. The action resolved from the discharge of an e.nploye who celebrated u successful busiccits traosacticri by becoming intoxicated. The cape Is tknt of th salesman of a real estate firm M-ho, after he had put through an important transaction felt so much elated over his success that he cciobnted It in tho manner of former days. The lower tourt returned a verdict against the salesman, holding that the national prohibition amendment implied sobrittf. The court of aopenis, to which the case was curried, l as overruled the lower court ,and the case will be returned for another trial. The jury will be asked to decide Tvhether one jolly good drunk was sufficient, when all the circumstances are considered, to justify the discharge of the real estate salesman. The appellate tourt does not hold that the prohibition amendment fixed a standard of mora! or business ethics. The fact is that it does not presume to do either, no matter what its backers may have had la tniad. The prohibition amendment simply forbids "the maBufacture. sale or transportation" of intoxicating liquors which are to be used for beverage purpeses. Nothing i3 said of immorality of th? traffic, nor doe the amendment attempt to lntertere with the riht of ha Individual to drink liquor if he can get it wlthcnt Tlolation of law. The matter of sobriety is one which the individual nsust determine for himself. The law uphold? the flcinf of persons for intoxication, in whi-h case it. is presumed that he has become a public, nuisance. The New York court say3 that intoxication in itself is not a lgal reason for the breaking of a contract by rlis-eharg-int an employe. FOREIGN MARKETS NEEDEDFarmers should not expect too much in the v.-ay of relief through having congTt-ss pass high tariff rates crt Agricultural products, to make it difficult for Canada or any other country to "flood" America with the surllns of its crops. It is true that imposition of a higher tax will

probably hava a temporary effect of raising prices, but ;

consumers will not be patient under artificial raising tJ prices of foodstuffs. What farmers of the United States need is a way threby they can find a market for the surplus of grain annually raised in this country. This mar'cet waa provided through the unusual demands cf tho war lut the lack cf European credit has excluded tho farmer from participation in foreign trade to a largo extent. The surplus of wheat, corn and cats raised bince the world war, which is not finding a ready market iu Europe, partly because of tho unfavorable rates of exchange. Is doing more to depress prices of agricultural products In the United States than a ny .hipni: :;:! . -hk-h Canada Is making to this country. The farmers should not place too much dependence In the likelihood that the present congresj will build a tariff wall for them, for the senate is likely rn defeat tLe measure so prompty passed by the house. Congress Trould probably be able to help the farmers more by aiding In ehing up a credit system that would enable Burop to buy the surplus crops of this country. Millions of children In central Europe are reported on the point of starvation, and the American

jeopJ are subscribing liberally to aid .hem. The sur-'

plus food In the United States, which is depressing prices of farm crops, could he used in Europe to aid the itsedy If the government were agreed upon some method of snpplying it.

SPEED READJUSTMENT. O'her afericulttiral gioupa ha been joined by Kentucky tobacco glowers in de-cislou. u hild their products for better pricen than are offered Also, they pioposo reiuiiug the cultivated any thit? year with intent further to support prices. Failure of t'e experiment im,o;'ar an attainment of the ultimate object is concerned Is forecast by logic and t-xperience. The immutable law of supply and tutuand will finally prevail in all markets, although the primaty markets arc less su.sccptable of manipula

tion t!i;.n are those ior gtxjd-j that. hav passed through

a variety oi stages oi preparation ror consumption. Even though as a rtauit of this tc baccy farmers' strike prices do advance and remain high for the 1921 crop, added profits will Induce heavier planting in 1922, with the consequence of a declining market that yoar. If farmers are not financially able to hold their crops now, this would sem to be the time to let then: for what thev will command. They may be able to stand loss at present much better than at a later date. The sooner a painful process is completed the better.

THE GOSPEL IN GWAUOR. It Is refreshing whenever one gets to ihtr.king that life chiefly consists of breakfast, dinner, supper and going to bed, to hear of some of the real progress that Is being made amid discouragements in this old world. For although goodness knows we haven't risen very tar as yet above our fellow-animals, tho little we have attained is being more widely spread with every year. Ferhaps it is better for the whole world to advance a little than for a favored part of it to reach perfect ion. John Higginbottom is a missionary in Allahabad, alluring city of tradition and century upon century of historical lore. liut he is not cci.tcut with transforming Hindoos into Christians, or substituting the Bible for the Vedap. Higginbottom is teaching high casta li.dians how to farm. There was one Indian prince, he narrates, who had arrived with a. "penurious" retinue of 12 servants and a singlo motorcycle. The first argument arcse over his highness' fingernails. The nail on the little finger of the left hand is allowed to grow several inches long by high caste natives, a mute proof that they know not manual labor. Having Indulged the prince to indulge in a manicure. Higginbottom noticed that the costly jewel3 on the young man's fingers iutprfercd with hb" work of filling a silo. "If one cf those diamonds should fall out of irs betting and a cow should swallow it. the poor cow would die, Higginbottom remarked casually. Now one of the tenets of the Hindoo faith la thai r.nimals are sacred. No Hindoo will kill on- not even a tiger in self-defeDse. The Indian prince removed the rings. There are 20,000 square, miles of agricultural land in Gwallor. where this unique missionary work. With such efforts its 3,000,000 inhabitants should have, in tt very few years, a farming community that ned not be ashamed of its output. Higginbottom is accomplishing something. Progress ia reaching tc Gwalior.
