the technique required properly to use the wonderful voice with which nature had endowed hlra. Music, it appears, was aa difficult for him to learn, aa for many who have no Binglng voices whatever. How thorough hia training may ITave been may be Judged fixm the fact that an edition of Who's Who states that he had no musical education worthy of note. It will thus be seen that the great tenor rose to a great height despite a discouraging handicap. It may be said that fame was generous toward him but if fortune smiled cn him he retuvaed the smile with Interest. He amply repaid the world for ail of its gifu and now that he Is gone and hla voice is silenced for all time his contemporaries will acclaim him as one of the notable characters of his time.

BOOTLEGGER BAD AS "KED." Prohibition Commissioner Haynes said "a mouthful" aa our picturesque speech phrases it, when he asserted that the American who dees not see in the bootlegger a danger as great as the bolshevik Is ashortslghted Individual. Indeed, the bootlegger is worse than the anarchist of the so-called philosophical stripe, bebause while the latter may contend that thera should be no law whatever, he Is not customarily a lawbreaker, and the lllegaj seller of liquor is. It is a dangerous attitude to take that of tolerant opinion toward breaking the law, no matter what the law is or who the person is who la guilty of its Infraction. Even if "personal liberty, bo dear to Americans, were being Interfered with in the enforcement of the prohibition law, which, of course. It Is not, there "still would exist no reason for flouting it. Prohibition is a law a part of the constitution and Ttolatlon of it is Just as much a crime as the breaking of other laws, no matter what individual's opinion about the matter may be. Appeals made through the personal liberty channel is Intended to blind individuals to the real seriousness of the situation. Every time an American is tempted to break the prohibition law or to wink at Its violation by others he Is treading on dangerous ground. The fact that the new law has been found difficult of enforcement Is no Indication that it is impossible of enforcement nor proof that the country at large does not want It. Many Btates had prohibition before the

federal act became operative. They had their bootleggers, too. but they remained in the prohibition column despite frequent battles in which recourse to the ballot was taken. We believe a majority of the people of the United States, whatever their views on prohibition are fol strict enforcement of the law while It Is on the statute books. That it will be strictly enforced In time seems certain, but the officers in charge will have an easier time If those who really respect our general laws will become thoroughly law-abiding and not permit camouflaging phrases to blind them. When the violator of the prohibition law occupies the same place In public opinion a3 the bcotlegger, mail bandit or transgressor of any other federal statute enforcement of the dry act will be much Bimplifled;

ON THE DOOHSTEP OF SIBERIA. Foreign fields for American commercial enterprise appear in such rapid succession that, in many instances the American product, proline though it be, is not abundant enough to meet the opportunity. This eeemB to be the case In Siberia, whe nations literally are camped on the doorstep with caravans of supplies waiting for the imminent renewal of trade. The United States, however, it is reported, is the only big exporting country net In a position to meet the demand with a sufficient supply. Nevertheless, the commercial attache of our Tokyo embassy has been sent on an investigating trip to Chita, from which American interests abroad argue that the government is preparing to place full information and encouragement before its manufacturers and business men. Vast stores of raw materials, unavailable to the world for years, will be unlocked furs, dairy products, agricultural produce, timber and metals. In return the Siberians want agricultural machinery, clothing, hardware, dry goods, salt, sugar and many things else. Money they have none. Hence trade will revert to simple barter for a time, with the monetary system absent. Czechc-Sovakia and Germany both have official commissions on the spot to assist their respective citizens; Danes and Swedes are on the ground; the Japanese are both inside and on the frontier; the British have placed a bank at Vladivostok, while the American bank recently closed. Finally, a shipload of German goods is at this time nearlng Vladivostok, if It has net already arrived. Clearly, all these peoples believe there is business in Siberia. Clearly, too, this country could use those raw materials and has exactly the things the Siberians need. American business men can watch eagerlj for the report cf the government envoy to Chita as to the best methods of carrying on the trade.

CABTJSO MOUENED. Caruso, the golden-voiced, the most gifted and distinguished singer cf his day, is dead. The world will mourn, because Caruso, although a native of Italy, belonged to the world. Wherever music lovers dwell, there the voice of the richly talented Neapolitan was known. Born of humble parentage, he rose to a high state aa a result of a voice that exerted a marvelous power and which now is stilled forever. Perhap3 not since the day of Jenny Llnd has any singer been placed on as high a pedestal In the matter of public esteem aa Caruso occupied, and he was a favorite alike In the countries where the tongus Is Latin, English, Teutonic or Slavic Starting life from a lowly position, he sought and wonthe best gifts fortune has to offer. It Is said of him that he was an unpromising pupil as a student of music but be must have had grt faith in his abtiity to succeed. Instead of being discouraged by poor progress In his early days, he persisted in his attempts to master

He went to an electric tight company and had his leg demagnetized. After this treatment his watch kept perfect time. Popular Scienc Monthly.

SHEETING EXCHANGE.

While the business world regards hopefully the slow but apparently sure movement of foreign exchange toward the pre-war parity, the Boston Tanscript comments that "vagaries in exchange impart a zest to present day traveling unknown to voyagers In the stable days before 1914. They provide the traveler a thrill almilar to that of the gambler; the thrill that comes from the possibility that the future may bring either gains or losses. Today a dollar means so many hours or minutes in Europe, according to the taste of the individual. Tomorrow, the chances are that It will mean either more or less. The reason for the uncertainty is that "prices in Europe remain at their abnormal postwar levels. It is only the dollar which tumbles in value."

A dubious thing, then, la a vacation In Europe for !

an American of limited means. In the "old days" one might confidently draft an Itinerary to fit the amount of money he or she could afford to spend In a given period. And prices likewise were established with reference to common money values. All business is hampered by the-disparity of international exchange and especially by the shifting of exchange values. While a certain advantages to us in the prevailing conditions.

That President Harding likes to "get back to nature" is shown by these pictures of his recent week-end spent with Thomas A, Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey

C Firestone in their camp on trees and chatted with the auto Licking creek, Washington coun- wizard, electrical wizard and tire ty, Maryland, recently. Harding magnate, chopped wood, and ate enjoyed the brief rest from state and slept "like a boy." The cares. He sat under the huge photos show "the boys" in camp.
