A little less than one-third of this is represented by national expenditure, and a little more than two-thirds by local expenditure.

If the country was at war, it would be the equivalent of ‘stand by the presi- dent.” There was never anything like the systematic organized effort to break down the prohibition laws. It is a thinly disguised form of levying war on the United States, A certain number of peo- ple say: “This law shall not be made effective ;” and they defy their government in saying it. For the government, the issue is. whether its power ainst a kind of organized rebellion. The government cannot surrender, after being so boldly and shamelessly challenged, without losing the respect of all citizens. The White House breakfast was a notification that if a state of war exists the governments’ flag is nailed to the mast. Auto Fatalities In the registration area of the United States automobile fatalities last year were in the pro- portion of 15 to every 100,000 of population. The total number of such fatalities, according to the tabulation of the department of commerce at Washington, was 14,41 gainst 11,666 in the pre- ceding year, and only 7,525 in 1918. The first impression made by these figures is increase during the past fiv of efficiency in our traffic regulation or of care in granting licenses to drivers. Viewing the st tistics from another angle, however, the wonder is that there have not been more fatalities when we recall the enormous increase in the number of automobiles in use. There are no statistics available from which we may judge the relative responsibility for fatal accidents; whether the number of deaths was greater to occupants of machines than to otliers. Accidents on highw re probably due more ta unfamiliarity with roads and inexperience of drivers than to any other cause. This inference is permissible from the fact that the state of Cal- ifornia heads all others in the proportion of fa talities to popu . This state has magnific highways and it also probably leads in the num- ber of motoring tourists, who are ignorant of the hazards of mountains and vail and acute curves. In congested streets of cities, however, there is reason to believe that much of the responsibili for accidents and deaths rests upon pedestrian: That this is true is indicated by the request made by the head of the New York police department that his force be given control of pedistrian as well as of vehicular traffic. Recently it was an- nounced from London that both classes of traffic 1 placed under control of the police of | this proving the best means for traffic | on.

After a stormy, combative and picturesque career of 161 ars the great Dublin newspaper has printed its st issue and has suspended publication. Rumor s: that the Irish Republican party may purchase the remains and attempt to set the corpse up again as a DeValera organ with the reyolutionist, Countess Markieviez, in the edi- torial chair. Thus the name may carry on. But it will not be the same Freeman’s Journal that for a century and a half has been associated with the cause of Trish freedom in every quarter of the globe. The Freeman's Journal was one of the oldest newspapers in the British Isles, anted: ing the London Times. Tt was established in 1763 by the United Trishimen, Grattan and Flood being count ed among its first contributors. Daniel O’Connell used it as a powerful aid in the early years of the nineteenth century, when he was making his fight for Irish Catholic emancipation, Charles Stuart Parnell, in his long fight for home rule, had the loyal support of the fighting Dublin jou nal, whose columns were always open to Day: Another Lie Nailed ow one of the professors ut Beloit tells us hat most of this talk about caveman methods is | ; ock, The old idea was that in prehistoric h i ed courting will Wl i n he knocked her e head mallet and carried off like a sack of oats, But this Wiscousir teator sa) hat this is fiction, He has been ading the tablets and otherwise delving in the t and he says tl the earliest love W harsh.

It will be less spectacular than other oil inv gations, but its results ought to be considerably more significant. The questionnaire which Mr. Work has addressed to the leading men in the industry shows the out lines of the problem. It is a problem in ormous waste of a prime necessity of life which is at the same time exhaustible and irreplacable, and there is something arresting in the pieture of the government offering its assistance to the petroleum producers in saving both them and the rest of us from the effects of the curious con ns under which oil must be produced. 924 ended with petroleum in a de- ‘essed condition, due largely to overproduction.

New wells are, of course, much more profitable than old ones; it means that new wells are brought in before old ones have been worked out. There is te in the oil left in the ground when old wells Inventories are being reduced. Con- ditions economic warrant the fore- cast that both agriculture and indus- try are good enough to promise a considerable period of what is com. monly termed prosperity.

We're about to bask once more in the sun of plentitude.

The Paris Settlement At the Paris conference to appor- tion Dawes plan receipts the United States had two choices. It could hold fast to the Wadsworth agreement for payment of our Rhineland armis- tice costs, forego any other claims on the German reparation fund and wash its hands of all responsibility for the execution of the Dawes set- tlement. Our allen custodian fund could have been drawn upon to meet the German-American joint, commis- ston’s damage awards and our inter- est in reparation collections would then have been limited to the $250,- 000,000 Rhineland costs and. the twelve-year period in which they were originally to’be lquidated. The United States might have ob- tained a larger actual reimbursement in that fashion. But. it would have been subordinating sound national policy to cash returns. We elected at Paris to accept something less for both occupation and damages, but we have fortified our postiion as a creditor of the allfed nations and as a friendly co-operator n Europe's re- storation by emphasizing and. broad- ening our partnership with the allies in the enforcement of the Dawes set- tlement. We are to collect our private dam- age claims through the- reparation commission, scaling them down in value throu,sl deferred payments. We are to recelve more occupation annuities and more firmly with the Dawes plan, since our stake in it is increased from $250,000,000 to $600,- 000,000 and the time limit of reim- bursement under it ts extended trom twelve to at least twenty-five or thirty years. The allied powers were willing te face certain monetary sacrifices in order to make America once more a factor in the Reparation Commis: sion’s work, They valued such an association highly and it was wisdom on our part to consent to it. Great Britain, France and Italy are our debtors, We are asking them to pay their debts. As a sensible creditor we ought to be glad to help’ them to col- lect’ what Germany owes them and thus strengthen their ability to eettle with us. The logic of our dept pol- icy has always required us to co: operate with the reparation commis. sion powers in executing the repar- ation sections of the Versailles treaty. We have now comé out into the open as a direct beneficiary, of the commission's operations and a guar- antor of its authority to collect. We have entered into an agreement with France and Great Britain eagerly de- sired by them and in the long run financially advantageous to us. It has the added merit of being a ma- terial contribution on our part to general economic recovery and to the peace of Europe.

(Copyright, 1925, Consolidated Press Association.) WASHINGTON, Jan. —Five years of prohibition of the manu- facture and sale of intoxicants, finds the problem still being discussed, but with the question of law en- forcement being taken up in earnest at last by a president of*the United States. Slowly and without ostentation, the “dry” side has made its impression upon Calvin (oolidge, so that law enforcement may be expected hence- forth with all the vigor that the government can command. Mr. Coolidge, in his'early days in politics was counted as not alto- gether “dry,” but whatever he may have been, he’stands ohly today as the only president in the last five years: who las won the absolute confidence of the “drys”. Here is a significant announcement by the board of temperance of the Metho- dist Episcopal church: “Tho vigorous and ' intelligent action of Attornéy General Stone in New Jersey with itie quits evident personal interest of the President Of the United States in the problem of law enforcement clearly heralds the dawn of a new day. Recreant officials will be ‘put down’. Faith- ful men will be elevated. Criminal rebellion will be crushed. The pro- hibition law will” be enforced.” For several weeks there have been whisperings that Mr. Coolidge had takén the prohibition problem into his own hands and was watch- ing enforcement very closely. The “drys” have. been jubilant. They claim to have’ been, harrassed and obstructed at every turn by sub- ordinate officials and that the presi- dent's recognition of the situation is a moral victory for the cause of enforcement. Mr. Colidge hag had relatively Uttle to say about prohibition since he took office. He is represented, however, as viewing the matter from the viewpoint of law and order. An amendment forbidding the manufac- ture and sale of liquor is a part of the constitution; a law” has been passed providing penalties for viola- tion and there ts nothing for an honest and sincere public official to do but enforce*the law. Some of the feeling expressed by the “drys” that they have not been given co-operation by the govern: ment {s dus to the presence in high administration quarters of pro: nounced “wets”. The secretary of the treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, is called a ‘wet’, having had large interests in a distillery before pro- hibition came. He is much too busy with the financial side of the govern- ment to give personal attention to the work of one of his bureaus— that of internal revenue, which in- cludes’ the prohibition unit—and while no one has ever proved that he interfered with prohibition en- forcement, the “drys” have never been satisfied and there is pending in congress a bill to reorganize the prohibition unit by removing it ffor the authority of the commis: sioner of internal revenue. The’ “drys” lave been besteging every president since the Eighteenth amendment was adopted.
