No_new force has arisen to There was no cause for it.

They - maintained . Jobbies, hired men to combat efforts to destroy their business and took devious steps which no one defends. But all that was changed. What diguor industry there now is in the United States v o R ! isillicit. It works under cover to a great extent, § 4 but it has grown to enormous proportions. It . has no lobbyists and needs nome. The rum- runner and bootlegger is not interested in the success of the fight against Prohibition as is, but is in its failure. Yet they are*the only “liquor interests” to be discerned in the nation today. By no streteh of the imagination can either Gov. Smith or Gov. Ritchie be linked with them. It suits Mr. McAdoo to lay his fight along lines which will appeal to fanaties, dr; Kls o men, and others whom prejudices rule than calm reasonin Pursuing this coursc mea _ the Democratic Party will engage in a wa:n " convention campaign and when the party chief tians gathér in Houston next' June the battlc lines for another Madison Square Garden episode | may have already been formed..

And Dempsey, himself, td have left the way open for a third of his engagement with Champion Tunney if times again should become propitious, Tex' Rickard, the boxing impresario whose genius as a promoter has never heen better displayed than in this engagement with its preliminary, elimination con- © tests, seems to think Jack is through. But the redoubtable Mr. Rickard has been having some tough breaks in second elimination tourna- ment. The latest disaster was in the Sharkey- Heeney go. From this had been expected to emerge a likely candidate for Dempsey to take _on before again donning his trunks and fighting scowl for the Champion. Nothing like that hap- ‘pened. A drawn battle proved nothing and left - Mr. Rickard stalled. Neither battler can pro- perly be advanced to meet Dempsey. The only recourse would seem to be to start all over again with a new deal, as is said to be planned, . with Sharkey, Heeney, k Delaney and Johnny Risko entering the lis That means three fairly good fights ~ Dempsey could be reached. A fourth would he ‘necessary to determine who should meet Tunney, making the championship battle a fifth big serap in a single season. That might be fine for the boxing public v , which is doubtful.

All farm crops harvested in 1927 are appraised | at $9,115,000,000 by the Department of Agricul- ture, an increase of $677,000,000 over the 1926 |harvest, which was reported worth $8,438,- 1000,000. These appraisals are based on prices at the farm gate December 1. The Department said its announcement cannot taken to mean farmers received amounts cited for crops Vot all of the crops were sold December 1. The be the ing rejection-slips to the majority of the en- ers, say§ that it is certain to cause discon- and make potential grafters among the re- ected personnel.” Could there be a sweeter testimonial to the virtue of his flock? So far as we know, the written and oral examinations and the inquiries into and tests. of conduct and character were impartial. Common sense and judgment were properiy considered. Experience would necessarily be an_advantage, if it were accompanied with qualifications even more essential. The kicking against a “literary” test is ancient. Rightfully or wrongfully, the country has made up its mind. The majority of public opinior has con- demned the methods of the old-style enforcers. New ones, independent of patronage or ‘“influ- ence,” at worst cannot be worse. The Prohibi- tion Bureau should take its medicine and shut up. A Costly Precedent. (New York World.) Years from now, we believe, the Senate will] be troubled by the dangerous precedent it has set in deciding to flout the voters of Illinois and 1 seat to Frank L. Smith. That Mr. Smith’s yendi rimary campaign were out- his ance of the Insull con- disgraceful cannot be questioned. But cmains that Illinois has no statute re- campaign expenditures, that the Fed- eral Corrupt Practices Act has been held by the Supreme Court not to apply to primary elections, and that Mr. Smith can therefore be charged with the violation of no law. Nor did any one in the Senate accuse him of such violation. The Senate simply held that by its own standards of political morality he was undesirable and there- fore not entitled to a seat. But in arriving at this decision the Senate overruled the voters of lllinols, who had clected Mr.. Smith after the facts of his campangn expenditures had been sub- mitted to their judgment, The Senate, in other words, has decided to agree with Senator Reed that its own power is upeme, unchallengeable and ‘‘absolute.” Of any such claim we can only repeat what we have said since Mr. Reed announced his theory: that it is lawless in spirit, dictatorial 4n character, in lon of the Federal character of this Gov- ernment, and a direct challenge to the principle of representative government.
