The mere fact that this law has been passed by the legislature will not popularize it with law- abiding citizens. Nor is its needlessness enhanced by the governor's favor. The same objections to it} exist today that existed when it was first proposed. Laws are made upon the demand of public opin- ion and are only effective when upheld by public opinion; and when a legislature or any other law- making body frames and passes a law under any other crcumstances it simply cumbers the statutes with another measure to fall victim to innocuous} desuetude. After April 1 we will have three separate au- thorities busily engaged in enforcing the laws of the commonwealth, city, county and state’ And citizens are given their choice of being arrested by regularly elected local officers chosen by the peo- ple, or by officers appointed by the governor and hailing from the outside. _It is suspected prefer- ence will be altogether in favor of home folks. Tt might be said that good citizens everywhere ought to hop in and uphold this new law and this new police department. But good citizens have a habit of upholdirig exactly what occurs to them to be worth upholding and upon that particular characteristic’ will largely depend the success. or failure of the new sleuth department. It was not that Wyoming needed additional force to enforce so much as activity upon the part of the force that ought to be merrily enforcing under the authority already vested and appertain- ing thereunto. The whole matter can be safely left to the) rivalries, jealousies and general interference of the} various enforcing forces to determine the urgent! necessity and popularity of the new law. eM a a ONE EXPERIMENT A brief time since the Norfolk experiment occu-| pied the attention of the public as a practical test | of what had been argued was the only successful | plan to settle labor troubles—let labor own and operate the industry. It will be recalled that in the Norfolk case it] was an iron works, in which the owners declared | for an open shop. The labor unions financed the purchase of the plant and operated it on a strictly union basis. The venture did not succeed and is now in the bankruptcy courts There are several reasons why a movement of | this kind is not likely to succeed, and yet it is| worth while to make the effort. It is to be hoped that the experiment will be| tried elsewhere in order that further information | | can be obtained. “If it is possible for the workers themselves to own the shops in which they work, and manage the business, gathering in all the | profits, that is an end devoutly to be wished. If! the workers can secure not only the union scale of wages but the profits on the investment also, there is a brighter day ahead for the worker. There are, however, numerous obstacles to the success of such a movement: In the first place, there is the continuous deterring influence of the old principle that “what is everybody's business is nobody's business.” To buy raw materials at best advantage, buy what is certain to be needed, seek business where it can be obtained at profitable rates, make contracts on most advantageous terms, se®ure loans at low rates of interest when zencies, and manage production s to cut costs—all these are things rked out successfully by the man- ager, or there is failure ahead. FRIDAY, FEB. 11, 1921 foetal to the success of his ppiaibeeraent! If ie fails as a manager, he can go back to his work at the bench, and be no worse off. The manager who has his all invested in the business must make good or lose all. It is needless to ask which of the two managers will put in most thought and longest hours in making a success of the business. | Theoretically, workmen who own an interest in the business, will put forth greater effort and ex- ercise greater care in maintaining quantity and quality of output. There is, of course, a ten- dency in that direction. But there are other fac- tors that exert an opposite influence. The man who is part owner feels secure in his job, and fears no discharge because of laxity. His share in the responsibility is so slight that he is more likely to consult his own convenience and his own ease, than the welfare of the institution. If he were owner of half of the establishment, he might be a more zealous. worker, but as the owner of a 1-200th interest, his ownership is an mconsider- able itifluence for good. These are just two of the reasons, important ones at that, why success is not likely in industrial enterprises owned by the workers: They may not be controlling reasons. The advocates of the Plumb Plan for the rail- roads think that ownership of the roads by the A letter from Major ford, secretary of the Chamber Commerce.

Experiments such as that conducted at Norfolk shed some light on the subject, but che experiment does not con- stitute a demonstration. It is to be hoped that elsewhere and in other industries, -similar move- ments will be undertaken in order that more con- clusive deductions may be made. ee ees POISON GAS IN PEACE Writing upon the subject of poison gas and uses found for the supply on'hand when the war put an end to its employment, the Brooklyn Eagle has this to say: “Peace hath her victories no less than war for poison gas. The fancy revels in the picture paint- ed for us by war department experts of a ten-acre boll-weevil cotton field swept by a gentle wind bearing the gases that were too late for use to kill Germans, and the consequent saving of the cotton for human exploitation and human wear. It is explained that the slaying of locusts on a large scale in the Philippines has been accomplished with these gases, and that experiments on docked waterfront areas have shown that the persistently perilous rat succumbs at once to like treatment. “Probably the originally used chlorine gas would kilki@4ocust or boll-weevil or a rat if it could get a fair chance at him: But this is too light, lighter than air. The Germans could not count on it, neither could the. allies. The phosgene that succeeded it is heavy;! it”rolls over a field ‘and, makes life there impossible, even on human ‘be- ings’ the effect on heart action is disastrous, no |matter how small a portion is inhaled. Also the ‘mustard gas,” which lingered in the trenches and made it impossible for those who had discharged it to take possession of these places, may be ef- ective against vermin and insect pests. “Luckily plant like thrives on what is fatal to animal life. There’s nothing better for any grow- ing vegetation than carbonic acid gas, carbon dioxide; and carbon monoxide, a deadly poison to the animal, only aids the vegetable. So it looks as though a proper and praiseworthy use had been found for the millions of pounds of poison gas bombs left over in the hands of the United States war department. That in itself is a cause for cen- gratulation to all civilization. Surely, we all hope devoutly that we shall never have to use chlorine or phosgene or mustard gas again against our fel- jlow human beings. (pf RRL Rr etal ELIMINATING THIRD DEGREE Commenting the practice of the third de- gree, administered by police and other arresting officers to obtain confession from alleged crim- inals, the Pittsburgh Dispatch says: “The police habit of grilling suspected per- |sons known as ‘the -third degree’ has frequently been denounced, and as frequently defended by the officers as often their only hope of securing conviction. The* acquittal of Brines, the Penn student charged with the killing of Drines, a Dartmouth senior at Philadelphia, is admitted by police officials there as a body blow to the prac- tice. When Brines was surrendered his counsel went before Judge Finletter and secured a re- straining order prohibiting anybody from talk- ing to the prisoner unless in the presence of his counsel, effectively shutting off any chance for the usual ‘third degree’ quest. Consequently, the police complain, the court took the case from the jury for lack of evidence which they think they might have obtained by rigorous inquisition? “Justice assumes innocence until guilt is proved, but the ‘third degree’ was based on the exact contrary. The French have a some- what similar ordeal based on a reconstruction of the crime, but it has the support of legal proce- dure. The British police on making arrests for crime are obliged to caution the prisoner that anything he may say may be used against him, The American practice has been to get the pris- oner to talk, by forcible means if necessary, in A manager who has his capital invested—his all—is certain to give to these essential problems | the best that is in him.

What is the difference between the mean level of the Pacific and+the Atlantic oceans at the ends ‘of the Panama canal?—J. C, A. There is no actual difference in the mean level of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at both ends of the Panama canal. There is, however, a | difference of about 18 feet in the tides at Panama. This is due to the shape of the Bay of Panama. As the tide enters the bay, it meets a funnel- shaped shore line, which gradually contracts the tide as it travels land- ward. As a result it rises until it RS. H. 0. PETERS, of Kan- sas City, Mo., whose experi- ence with Tanlac has been noth- ing less than wonderful, declares her husband. After her improve- ment he takes it himself and health is also restored. his “S “One day a friend persuaded my wife to take Tanlac and the results have been nothing less than wonder- ful. Her troubles have not only en- Urely divappeared, but she has actu- ally gajaed twenty pounds in weight and now seems to be in perfect health. She tds suffered for eight years with hegdaches, nervousness and loss of aypetite and was in a badly run-down szondition. She could not eat much, had pains all through her body and limbs and was so weak at times she could hardly stand on her feet. She was losing Weight and gradually get- ting worse all the time in spite of all we could do. “After seetng the splendid results my wife was getting I began taking ‘Tanlac myself and before I had fin. ished my second bottle, I was eating things I had not dared touch be.ore in a long time. I am now eating just anything set before me and my appe- tite is fine. I suffered for five years with the worst kind of stomach trou- ble and nervous indigestion, but it has relieved me entirely.

PARTY'S VOTERS 1 CONTRCL, ASSERTS BRYAN Authority Must Come From the Bottom and Not the Top if Democrats Are to Regain Power - (By Associated Press) MIAMI, Fia., Feb. 11—‘It the Demoeratic party is going to Ye a force in this country, it must have members, and the voters will not be willing to act through the Democratic party unless they can control it,” said William, Jennings Bryan, at his winter home here in discuss- ing the announcement yesterday in New York by Former Judge R. C. Roper of Nebrasku, that Mr. Bryan and his brother, Charles, planned a re-organization of the party. Mr. Bryan said he had not known that a definite date for the launching of the movement had been set as an- nounced by Judge Roper. “My theory has been that a dem- ocracy is a government in which the people rule and a Democratic party must recognize that authority comes up from the bottom, and down from the top,” he said. “Politicians try to use the party organizations and the voters for their own benefit, while the voters try to use the party organization for the ad- vancement of the public good. do not expect much of any sur- ce movements, that is, movements among the party officials. Progress will come through activity among the voters, and they cannot act until they have a ‘chance to select committec- men. Prior to this they can organ- {ze among themselves, discuss ques- tions, pick out spgkesmen and get ready for effective action when the time for the selection of the com- mitteemen comes. This, I think, they should do. And this is what I hope to contribute to through my paper. “If the proposed meetings of the sub-committees or the full commit-; | boosting of some particuiar eapirant | scemite Valley,.and the Indians for office they will do Httle.
