Register complaints before 8 o'clock, The Fickle Rio Grande Negotiations between the United § settlement ates and Mexico for a { the so-called Chamizal Zone dispute are now un der way. This controyersy is due to the agaries of the Rio Grande and Mexico lays claim to the extreme southern section, valued at several million dollars, of the city of El Paso, Texas, over which the United States has always exercised jurisdic- tion, about five blocks wide. The treaty of peace with Mexico, which followed the War of 1846-48, provided that the channel of the Rio Grande should be the boundary line, but in supple- mentary conventions the fact was recognized that the Rio Grande river was fickle, and it was agreed that in case of a change in the course of the river by accretion the territory gained by either country should remain in the country into Which it had been thrown, but in case fo a change by erosion the territory involved should remain the property of the country within whose borders it originally was. There is no doubt that the river has ¢ but whether by gradually wearing away the bank and adding the sand to the Texas side or by king an entirely new course is the question at issue. Prevention the Best Cure In the days of hook and ladder companies and hand buckets to put out fires little thought Was given to fire pre- vention. How to put the fire out seemed to be the main con- sideration. The same state of mind existed in regard to con- tagious diseases, such as the plague, yellow fever, typhoid, diphtheria, the hook worm and malaria, For hundreds of years the only thought seemedto be the possibility of curing persons after the gained 2 foothold instead of trying to pre- vent the disease from ever rting. Today tle diseases men- tioned have been practically eliminated by scientific preven- tative measures and through educational work advising the public how to control them. So s fires are concerned, however, our nation has disease far st red along blindly under its enormous annual fire loss with resulting death toll, seemingly as indifferent of fire prevention measures as it was when the first crude fire fight- ing apparatus was in use. We simply have not awakened to the fact that death and perty loss from fire can be elim- inated just as death and property loss resulting from contag- ious diseases have been eliminated by ientific study and treatment. Who's Business Next Last year, thirteen states had no gasdline tax; this year, only one is left that has not passed or up to March first was not considering a gas tax law. Arkansas had a 4-cent tax last year; the highest of all; this year, four have decided on a 4- cent tax, and four have made it five cents. Only New York sticks to the I-cent tax; all the others are from 2 cents up- wards. The amount collected last year we 648,851; using the same amount of pect to collect #19: Taxes must be paid to support governments but special S, the states under the new 38, AWS May ex- taxation and unequal taxation has for centuries been a curse to, and a destroyer of many governments. Tilting at Windmills No one has ever associated the vigorous, courageous and brilliant vice president of the United States with Don Quixote, but in a way he is doing something which the famous Don once did—he is tilting at windmills. There are more windmills in the senate than in any place outside of Holland. But in Holland the windmills are useful. In the senate of the United States they are a nuisance, and are not even picturesque. There is a simple dignity about a windmill on the Zuyder Zee, but there is only an artific dignity, which crac round a senate windmill. Vice President Dawes will, we hope, clear the landseape of these windmills before he gets through with them, or he will at least give the public a definite picture of the r uselessne All or None If insurance can be made compulsory and used for purpose of providing indemnity for certain highway accident victims who may be adjudged entitled to such relief, it may well be made compulsory in a variety of other situations, Motor ve hicle accidents are not the only accidents which cause want and suffering. There ure thousands of other accident victims in the country who perhaps cannot obtain indemnity but who are at law just as much entitled to indemnity as are automo: bile victims. We do not think the establishment of the sol vency of a judgment debtor in a highway accident e is any more the function of the state than is establishment of solvency of a judgment debtor in any other action involving civil liability The Tragedy of Science A report on Canada’s much discussed electrie experiment sa) “Blectrie consumers from the governmentally owned hydro-electric system in Ontario have failed to pay actu costs of service they } received by more than $19,000,000,” The bills have been paid—by the common taxpayer who uses little or no power Huxley, the scientist, once wrote this immortal criticism “The gr ugedy of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothe ugly fact.” The “cheap power” hypothesis is slain by al browed $19,000,000 tax-paid deficit. Sound Conditions Elbert H. Gary, the chairman of the United States Steel corporation, and who ought to know, declares: “Fundamental conditions are the best they have ever been in the business history of the country, and offer promises of good business over the next few months, If the steel indus- try is any barometer of trade this country has a good business future which cannot be impaired by political, congressional or any other kind of agitation.” Politicians fairly love 2 man who talks economy before election, but the most puzzling thing to them is a president who insists upon Practicing it afterward. Deemed an Error Many of the metropholitan news: papers have of late given utterance to views in relation to prohibition enforcement, and the problems crowing out of the nation’s effort to make the country dry in conform- {ty with the eighteenth amendment to the constitution. Among the most recent to writg upon the subject Is the Detroit Free Press. It sa “The Free Press has stood and now stands for strict observance and enforcement of the eighteenth amendment as long as {t is a part of the federal constitution, This is the preface, “The sentiment that made the eighteenth amendment a part of the fundamental law of the land was largely ed on a belief that pro- hibition was a practical measure which would protect national health, morals and prosperity. Its justifi- cation was to be a generally happy effect on the count “What i# the result after five years? What seems to be the pros- pect for the future? “Here is what s ‘an “The price of intoxicants today is several times greater than it was In 1920, But anybody wha has the vrice, and cares to risk insanity or death, can get all the Hqugr he wants, Enforeement has utterly fallen down, fillions of people In the United States, including a large proportion of the ‘best citizens’ and many of. ficlals of high station and large re aponsibilities, are open and persist ent flouters of the dry laws. Judges ascend the bench after drinking bouts to try other men for doing what they themselves have just been doing. There is scarcely a pre- tense at concealment. And it is highly significant that drinkers suffer little or no loss of caste even among abstaine Though many people still believe in the efficacy of prohibition by law, the nation as a whole has repudiated it, “Since the dry amendment went into ‘effect,’ a professional crimi- nal class, numbering tens of thou. sands, has sprung up and has spread throughout the country, Its most ehatacteristic members are cold- blooded outlaws, thugs and murder- ers who are doing their best to make the doctrine of the sanctity of life and property avesty. But they live and Iner they are encour- aged, coddled, and enriched by the most respectable portions of society, because they meet the demand for whisky. “A really powerful argument by those who first urged nationhal pro. hibition was a contention that it would protect the youth of the coun- try. There was a general admis- sion that many of the ‘old soaks’ were past redemption and might cause trouble for a time: but the dry advocates contended that when ms to us signifi- the receding generation disappeared, a new generation which knew not the taste of intoxicants would ap- pear. ne picture was attractive It was a big factor in creating pro- hibition sentiment.

It should remain outlaw forever; but the evil the regulated saloon did the young was trivial in comparison with the devastation caus by what has suc- ceeded it. “In the beginning, backers of the eighteenth amendment said: ‘Give us time and we will show results.’ There was reason in the plea. And even today, if there were any indi- cation that the dry workers were facing a prospect of final success or were accomplishing things that in any considerable measure would compensate for the prevalent de- terioration of private and public morals and for the general loss of respect for Jaw and order which is in progress, particularly in the cities, large and small, tt would be room for patience. “But the situation instead of tm proving is growing steadily worse.

Guests invited to a vanishing party are asked to contribute a small sum, say $1 to the charity, and then each is ex- pected to give a vanishing party of ber own. Only at the next one there is to be one less guest than at the previous party. And so the parties grow in number but vanish in size and finally there are a great num- ber attended by two only, Here is the way the scheme works: One hostess entertains seven guests, making seven, seven hostess ea entertain six guests, making forty-two; forty-two hostesses enter- tain five guests, making 210; 210 hostesses, entertain four guests. making 840; 840 hostesses entertain three guests, making 2520; 2520 hostesses entertain two guests, mak- ing 5040; 5040 hostesses entertain one guest, making 5040, All told there will be 13,699 guests and if each one contributed a dollar the charity would be enriched by $13,699 free of all overhead. All told, on the plan outlined, more than 8,000 parties would be given, but each hostess asked her successors to do less than she had done. And at no party were more than seven guests invited. This plan, or a modification of it is respectfully recommended to the managers of the local community chest as a substitute for the knock- down-and-drag-out scheme hereto. fore used, as a meane of raising part of their required fund.

CoFFEE THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1925 FOUR WEEKS WITH THE UNITED STATES NAVY over the Seattle and I learned con- siderable about hatches, gunwhales, bos'n decks, etc. It was truly a rev- elation to me. 1 saw the kitchens, officers’ quarters, gun turrets, crows nest, radio room, steering bridge and in fact, everything aboard where visitors were permitted. Once I get onto the Milwaukee, I will have ac- cess to the entire ship, so they tell me. On our arrival here this morning we made haste to get to the offices of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, where we had been pre- viously instructed to report for in- structions as to the procedure we should take to gét aboard the Seattle. A business-like young woman took us in hand and told us that we should report to Pier No. 14, from there we could embark in a ship's gig (small motor boat) for the Seat- tle. We had lunch at the St. Francis hotel and then made our way to the plier designated in a Yellow Cab. In- cidentally, it proved a wild ride through the streets of San Francisco, the driver very narrowly averting running down a pedestrian. Traffic congestion here on a Saturday after- noon is appalling and you take your life in your own hands in attempt- ing to negotiate crossings. Anyway; we reached Pier 14, and a huge crowd of San Franciscans were there ahead of us. Excursion craft of all kinds were doing a land office business hauling sighseers back and forth to the versels, It was a sight to behold in itself. We were finally directed to a point where we were told that we could get aboard one of these gigs from the Seattle, but after awaiting al- mast an hour for one of these buck- ing sea broncos, we got rather jm- patient. We tried to get aboard one of them assigned to other battleships but the officer in charge on the wharf sald that it was ‘‘pos-i-tive-ly” impossible to get out that way. We were milling around waiting when a Seattle gig did arrive, and a sailor phoned “officers’ guests of the attle.”” We tried to wedge ourselves through the crowd but were making slow headway when a blg gob came to our rescue—at least we thought he was golng to be our benefactor. He lead the way and we followed but before we could get through, the gig pulled out and left us. You can im: agine how we felt after that. I felt like wiring Frank Mondell to use his influence with the president in calling another disarmament confer- }ence and junk the whole navy. It wasn't long after that, however, that another one came along and you can all bet your sweet lives that we would have felt like committing murder if we had of failed to make connections that time.

I was-determined, too, that I wasn’t going to fose that $1.25 lunch we took on up at the St, Francis. Times are too hard. Awakened this morning to find ourselves coming down out of the Cascades and it was surely a beau- tiful sight to look out of the car window onto the beautifuly wooded splose.
