S. Brewers’ Association, has promulgated a warning and some personal philosophy that sound reason- able. He predicts that the country will be beer dry by May 1, and adds: “The country will be on a straight whisky basis. And in the days of unrest it is dangerous to have steady beer drinkers switch to whisky. The results may surprise people.” Doesn’t make any difference, Chris, whether it’s in days of unrest cr not, when a steady beer guzzler switches to whisky. The effects are the game, and the innocent bystanders are surprised all right. We've seen at least one instance of the switching and we do not hesitate to endorse the opinion that if all the steady beer drinkers switch as in this instance, danger is going to gasp Ameri- can civilization by the short hair, metaphorically speaking. It was on a beautiful April evening, in the early ripening of bock, that the steady imbiber re- ferred to switched. He had mellifluously pro- gressed to his 22nd glass of a contemplated four dozen or more, when a dear, soft-eyed friend of more limited reservoir capacity tenderly suggested a switch to whisky. At 22 beers, the spirit grieves not to be able to accommodate a friénd and so there was a general switch along the entire foot- rail, from the large, tank man at the top thereof even down to the small but sincere little fellow at the foot, who had wormed his way into the cere-} monies late, in order not to pay his. share early. It was a sharp, sudden switch and the effects were marvelous. Not over fcur rails of the switch had been covered by the steady beer specimen re- ferred to above before the pupils of his eyes turned lime white and he recited Cicero’s Oration Against Cataline. Then he gave an imitation of Caruso that was extraordinary. Then he related all the sacred details of his home life and sat down in a cuspidor ‘to perform one of the well known tricks of Hermann, the magician. Next, he kissed the bartender,’ wept bitterly on a companion’s shoul- der, and went dead to the world. We. certainly would like to do something to relieve this country from the horrible situation that is staring it in the face. »It is going tc be beer dry and there’s no possible question as to the hor- rors of a sudden general switch to. whisky. Calam- ity on May 1 seems inevitable, and, alas! we can- not, conscientiously, even suggest that the beer “steadies” practice up on whisky before the fateful date arrives, for, by the time they would get weaned from beer, along would come that war- time total prohibition date, and then where would be the fellows who must have whisky if they can’t get beer steadily? Darn the liquor question, any- how! Ca Uinlhe THE CRIME WAVE IN CITIES By Richard Spillane It may seem puzzling that with the census of the churches of America showing the greatest in- crease in membership in any year in the history of the country and with our ending of a war that had the greatest of moral appeals there should be recorded more crimes of violence and of stratagem than ever before. What is the explanation? In some cities such as New York and Philadel- phia there is an epidemic of highway robbery. In the former city there has been a wild west flavor by the “holding up” of trolley cars by bandits who, after gathering their plunder, fled in automobiles. In the latter city the local police seemed incapable of handling the situation and the army officers lent military police to help out. This was not done until thugs not only robbed a man in the Pennsyl- vania station but stripped him and there was a “hold up” in one of the corridors of the city hall.| Even a female member of the family of a high police official was a victim of a highwayman and burglary, purse snatching and blackjacking be- came 80 common that there was a demand for the death penalty in cases where the robber was armed with a deadly weapon. Students of history see nothing unusual in this wave of crime. Such a manifestation follows every the Galveston flood and ‘the San Francisco fire. In Galveston. martial law had to be declared to check the'looters. In San Francisco it was the pame.. Nothing so cataclysmic ever was known to man as this war. We do not appreciate in full the changes wrought and the depths to which men were stirred.. The army of the careless and the shiftless was merged into the army of the useful. city streets.. Crooks found more profit or pleasure in better lives of effort.. The unparalleled call for men at unprecedented wages made idleness something that could not be explained or condoned. tion of labor hundreds of thousands of men have been thrown out of work. Those who were shift- less before and have been improvident in the period of high wages’ have been left stranded. The wide and sudden swing of the pendulum has unsettled them. Besides, there has been so much of horror, bestiality, violence told in connection with the war that it has inflamed their minds. Adrift once more after a period of plenty, “broke” after know- ing the comforts and gratifications money brings, feeling perhaps that society owes something to them which they have not had they determine to get it. , Considering the profund upheaval the world has undergone the crime wave is not so great as might be expected. It is nothing to that in Europe where armed bodies have gone about pillaging and plundering. It soon will subside. The Bolshevist’s idea of a reactionary form of government is any. The kind of work that soils the hands very seldom soils the mind. The assurance that Rugsia is going to the dogs is the first definite promise of a reform in the affairs of the Slav. We are soon to have the world’s greatest mer- chant marine, and its future is bright except for England and congress. As a matter of fact, German diplomats will probably regard anything less than the worst possible punishment as a victory for Germany. The treasury of the new republic of Hunland will have its burdens, but there will always be cross-roads towns and dredge isolated brooks. aaa a IESE | WITH THE EDITORS —— ET TU GRONNA!, North Dakota had a right to expect better things of Senator Gronna than that he should align himself with these devotees of militarism and im- perialism.. In condemning the league, in company with buccaneers of the Lodge, Knox and Wads- worth type, he has utterly misrepresented his state, and shown that, on one of the critical issues of all history, he is completely out of line- with that progressive spirit which he has always’ pro- fessed to champion. . McCumber, the standpatter, in refusing to.sign the Lodge protest, and indeed: in openly championing the league, has far better. understood the hopes and aspirations of.the state than Gronna, the progressive——Fargo Courier- News. , ; E DUE NOTICE IS GIVEN Thirty-seven republican members of the new senate served notice that the league of nations covenant in its present form:is not acceptable. They do not bluntly say that they would refuse to vote for its ratification, but they do say that the covenant should not be accepted by the United States in the form now proposed. They do say that the nations of the world should unite to promote peace and disarmament. They do say that the terms of peace with Ger- many should first be settled and signed, and that the proposal for a league of nations should then be taken up for careful and serious consideration. A small group of democratic senators have already shown their disapproval of the present covenant. There are other republican senators who could not be reached or have not made up their minds, but who on a test would join the thirty-seven. It is, therefore, quite possible that a majority of the new senate wants the covenant amended in important particulars. At any rate, the two-thirds vote needed for ratification cannot be obtained, unless the covenant is suitably amended. ‘ The strategy of the Ledge resolution is mas- terly. It has been stated in some of the dispatches that the president’s plan was to return to Paris, secure the final approval of the covenant by the peace conference, have it incorporated as an in- tegral part of the peace treaty, which would imme- diately be signed by all the “high contracting par- ties” except the United States. The president would then return, make a speaking campaign for the treaty, and at last, when everything was in readiness, call congress together in extra séssion and say to the senate: “Sign here on the dotted line.” ‘In such case it would be said that the senate ought not and could not stand out against the rest of the world, and by its contumacy delay a peace treaty so sorely needed. If such were the train of events, it is plain that the objecting senators would be placed in a posi- tion of extreme embarrassment. The power of the president to force ratification would be tremen- dous. Now the situation is reversed.
