He Needs Backing Police Judge E. 8. Allen deserves the commendation of every honest citizen for the stand he has taken against the bootlegging of hard liquor in these piping times of 3.2 beer. His action in committing to jail an inebriated man with the promise of release if the offender will tell where he got his liquor is forthright and sensible. It should be continued un- til the whole matter is cleaned up. Meanwhile, it may not be amiss for the average citizen to think of the situation we now are facing. Since the federal government has left the Prohibition enforcement field, the state prohibition law is in the hands) “of local officers. Unless they make t effective things will run wide open. ‘The need for renewed and unceasing activity in this field is made appar- ent by the judge's action. ‘The state of North Dakota, despite its large squad of beer inspectors, seems to have shut its eyes to this condition. So far as the available records show, there have been no ‘arrests by state officials for violations of the state prohibition act. If they are good for anything except politics these inspectors should be encouraged to do what they can to halt bootleg- ee. To be sure, the legal sale of beer has reduced the market for harder|Should be a great help to the pedes-|However, there is such @ products. Many who formerly pa- tronized the bootlegger now have less use for his services, Others, who feel they want a little hard liquor, are baying it shipped in from states where it is legal. If anyone thinks this is not being done he doesn't know what is going on. Express and freight workers do not snoop into the packages which they handle but they frequently have a good idea of what they contain, This importation in bulk cannot, of course, be effectively stopped. To do Bo it would be necessary to examine every shipment of goods from wet states into North Dakota, halt every ‘utomobile at the state line and in- spect it for contraband. But sale of liquor in small quan- titles or by the drink in our own neighborhood can be stopped by proper and effective police action. Every effort should be made to do 30, for the bootlegger too frequently 1s a vulture who will sell to anyone, Tegardless of age or other conditions. They will sell liquor to a child if he ‘has the money. Judge Allen has pointed the way and may, if his “cure” works, be able to do ® pretty fair job single-handed. But there is no reason why he should be expected to do so, for his is not the duty of law enforcement. The burden lies with the police and sher- iff and with citizens generally, for unless it is made clear that the pub- lic is opposed to bootlegging, now that a saner stand on the liquor question seems on the way, very little van be done by even the most active and conscientious officer. ‘Unless the hue and cry against the bootlegger, made during the effort to repeal some of the prohibition laws, was a complete sham, the public should use what means it can to in- dicate a desire that the law be en-| cy; forced.

Service to the resi- dential districts has been curtailed, 00 )reminiscent of the days when the electric current was shut off at 10 p.m. If the current effort marks the be- ginning of an attempt to put the post- office department on a business basis the public will applaud, for its opera- tion, under both Republicans and Democrats, has been a scandal for years. The waste and inefficiency of the department, laden as it is with the incubus of politics, is notorious. In view of this fact it seems unfair to place the burden on those who burdens of the postal service. Judging from the standards set up for private industry, the postoffice department needs a code under which | to operate. Soldiers’ Revenge! Any man who served in the A. E. F. during the World war will be inter- ested to learn of the charges which have been placed against an army medical officer in the Canal Zone, whose court-martial is pending. This officer, it is alleged, had a castor oil complex. A soldier who came in with an injured foot got a big dose of castor oi] and was sent back to duty; so did another who came down with appendicitis. As a result, charges of malpractice have been filed and the officer must appear in an army court. The doughboys had a saying, in the A. E. F., that the army pharmacopeia contained but two nostrums—castor oil and iodine. You either got dosed with the one or swabbed down with the other, no matter what ailed you. This, of course, was unjust to a capable and overworked medical staff. But it was an army tradition, just the same—and this Canal Zone case will stir memories of it in the minds of a lot of ex-soldiers. Knee action wheels on automobiles trian.

Black Springs! “Nifty” on Capital Snow. BY RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, March 23—The army's airmail fiasco opened President Roo- sevelt’s eyes. He had supposed he cowed. < Army aviation is under the nine corps area commanders, divided into nine geographical sections and train- not for long flights. ‘When Foulois wants to visit an aviation corps unit, he must ask the corps area commander's permission. Neither army nor navy has a 1,000- horsepower plane, though they’ve been talking about one for years. European nations run them up to 3,000 horsepower. Army and navy consistently vioclat- ed legal provisions requiring competi- tive bidding for plane contracts. The two corporations monopolizing air engines produce almost identical types. Lack of competitive bidding discouraged development. The Morrow committee's five-year plan, far from completed, was based on the world warplane armaments of 1925. Other nations have been leap- ing ahead. Secretary Dern dragged in Lind- bergh for the committee to investi- gate the air corps in an effort to save face.
