Just why is a spy worse in a Federal Penitentiary than he is in Russia, or in the employ- ment of the enforcing agencies of prohibition? A spy is a sneak, a snooper, an agent willing | to prey upon those who trust him, who pecrhaps may have performed for him friendly service. What is it that makes one sort of a spy better than another? When laws cannot be sustained “and enIorced or morals advanced, except through tHe employment of spies, then the rule of law ‘and mhorals must be at an end. The spy is despicable. In war the penalty meted out to him invariably is death. It is to be doubted that his use even in war can be' justified. But there is no doubt at all that his use 'in peni- | tentiaries or as a Government agent for the pur- pose of assisting to enforce social or sumptuary statutes is ' indefensible. The spy -is on a . par with the assassin who stabs in the back, with' the writer, of ‘anonymouse letters intended maliciously to' do ‘their victims harm. | ) | | | | | | (Cincinnati Enquirer.) crossing # THE FARM RELIEF BILL. The Hoover Administration got off to an encour- aging start when the National House of Represen- tatives passed the Farm Relief Bill by an almost unanimous vote ten days after the convening of the special session of Congress. It was a very suc- cessful outcome when one takes into account the amount of discussion and political maneuvering there has been during the last several years over the question. It has been asserted that the success of the Hoover Administration will depend largely upon the | ability of the President to handle Congress—par- ticularly during this short session. The indications now are that the handling will be neat, expeditious and efficacious. If the prognosticators sized up the situation correctly the outlook is that the Administration will be singularly successful. . | R Splendid Flight. JOHN W. SNOOK. That was a very good portrait of John W.; Snook, ex-Warden of the Atlanta Penitentiary and prominent pioneer resident of Skagway, that ap- peared on the first page of The Empire. The pic- ture showed Mr. Snook and his little son playing with a toy railroad train. The handsome father's mind was apparently far removed from sensation- loving Willebrandt. Mr. Snook was a very emclent Deputy Marshal at Skagway in the days following “Soapy” Stith. Later he was a leading member of the Idaho Leg- islature for a few terms and then became Warden of the Idaho Penitentiary, where he made a record that attracted the attention of the country. A few years ago, when scandals regarding the management (Prince Rupert News.)

While it does not compare with the big hop of Lindbergh’s, it was a good test of flying ability and mechanical reliability. We hope to see airplanes come here regularly soon. We shall begin to feel that we are adopted by the rest of the continent if we have a semi- weekly air service to and from the centers of the South and also to and from Alaska. Maybe if the prohibitionists dry up Washington the sessions of Congress will be shorter.—(Indian- apolis News.)
