THE NEW JERSEY PRIMARY KILLS PROHIBITION. | The Republican primary results in make it plain that Prohibition is in the discard.| All that now remains is a decision as to what will| take its place. Ambassador Morrow, on a platform demanding the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment nominated for Senator by an over- whelming majority, notwithstanding that there were two wet candidates. The other wet, however, former Benator Frelinghuysen, favored a modification of the Volstead Act. The' dry candidate was a man of great ability and distinetion. Franklin W. Fort had been Secretary of the Republican National Committee and for many years a member of Con-“ gress. Both Frelinghuysen and Fort were masters of the political game in New Jersey. Both had been‘ dry leaders through a long series of contests in| which the Republican Party was first wet and| then dry. The party had won the State elcctmns when it was wet and lost when it was dry. Frc- linghuysen had astonished the country by modifying his positfon on Prohibition, - declaring against thc] Volstea| Act, and thereby sought to lead the wets. | When Morrow announced his candidacy for Senator he weat the whole way against Prohibition. He declared for the absolute repeal of the Eighteenth | Amendment and for State control. The Anti-Saloon League and ministerial associa- | tlons lined up behind Fort. The wets got behind | Morrow, the wetter of the two candidates. Wlth‘ about three hundred precincts missing, the vote was 374,000 for Morrow, the wet; 107,000 for Fort, the d and 43,000 for Frelinghuysen, the modifi- cationist. The drys,are tn @ .one toifour minority. These figures, followihg the Literary Digest poll, cannot fail to have a tremendous effect upon the political situation. Politicians will desert Prohibi- | tion like rats fleeing from a sinking ship. New | Jersey is pointing the way. It would not be at | all surprising if New York Republicans would fall New Jersey | was in line, put up a wet candidate for Governor and give Gov. Roosevelt a close race, if, indeed, not defeat The New Jersey primary election has | strengthened the Republican position in the Con- gressional campaign immensely. Not only has New | Jersey been saved to the Republican Party with a| Senatorship that was in the balance, but Massa- | chusetts, New York, Rhode Island and other States | might be saved if they follow the Jersey course. It is not likely that either political party will| much longer stagger on under the burden of Pro- hibition. They will throw off the leadership of | Anti-Saloon League and other blocs that would reform the world through passing laws. They will return in a larger measure to State rights. President Hoover might just as well discharge his' Wickersham Law Enforcement Commission. No | longer will it be possible to suggest a way to en- force Prohibition. The people will not stand for it now that they know unquestionably that Prohibitionists are in a constantly weakening min- ority and have no moral right to speak for the people of the United States. Prohibition is as dead as a door nail. obsequies remain for determination. S ML e Only the FORTY-FIVE MINUTES PER ACRE. When wheat was harvested with a sickle and threshed with a flail, from 35 to 50 hours of labor | were required for harvesting and threshing an acre‘ with a yield of 15 bushels. The introduction of the | cradle saved about 10 hours per acre. At present | “l farmers in the Great Plains use from 4 to 5 hours | 1 in harvesting an acre of wheat with a binder and threshing from the shock with a stationary thresher; I o from three to four hours when the crop is har- vested with a header and threshed with a sta- tionary thresher; and an average of three-fourths 3 of an hour when the combined harvester-thresher is used BARBED QUILLS PROTECT PORCUPINE. A mouthful of porcupine quills is anything but a savory dish for any enemy of this self-confident animal Misguided * anid overzéalous attacKers, such as coyotes, often lose their appetites and even starve after collecting some of the tenacious and finely barbed quills in their noses or mouths, or in their tongues or cheeks. = Frequently at water holes’ in forests range cattle will sniff at a porcupine and, in return, receive a noseful of quills from a flip of the heavily barbed tail. The sharp quills imbed themselves more deeply with each attempt to re- move them, causing intense suffering and some- times death. Thus protected the porcupine usually goes its way unhindered, and in its quest for food it may destroy young fruit and forest trees, or vegetable crops, or wallow down alfalfa. According to Leaf- Jet 60-L, Porcupine Control in the Western States, by Ira N. Gabrielson and E. E. Horn logical Survey, issued recently by the United States |ticity of the Literary Digest poll. |petition of the central electric stations, of the Bio- | { controlled. parts But in many of its extensive |range it does no serious harm and is tolerated because of the interest that attaches to a native wild animal. Porcupines in the Northwest winter in the cliffs and lava rims of the mountains. In the Southwest they go to the lower forests for the winter. This makes it possible to find them close to their dens |when snow is on the ground and to shoot them, loften in sufficient numbers to effect satisfactory |control. In summer it is easy to locate their winter ldens by the girdled trees. Taking advantage of the porcupine’s fondnes for salt, foresters, ranchers, and roden-control workers of the Biological Survey them near their dens with a half-arld-half mixture of sale and powdered strychnine. | bait The Anti-Saloon League and other uncomprom- y dry organizations ought to save their money, turn to the days of Neal Dow and John P. John and revive their Prohibition Party. Neither Democrats nor the Republicans are dry. |St the A few more primary elections like New Jersey's and there will be none left to question the authen- Natural and Other Gas. (New York Times.) Natural gas from Texas is to cook the dinners| |and turn the factory wheels of the Middle West, and eventually of Chicago. A contract for a gas {main of 1,250 miles has been let, and within three years communities in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky will be enmeshed in pipes that extend from the Panhandle oil fields. Not the fact that natural gas is burned in cities, but the |record-breaking length of this projected line at- tracts attenion. In the last five years natural gas pipe lines varying in length from 100 to 450 miles thave been conveying billions of cubic feet from the oil fields to Denver, Pueblo, St. Louis, ingham, Cleveland and San Francisco. Fifteen years ago we were told by conserva- tionists that we were criminally wasting our natural gas. The charge was justified. But the gloomy prophesy that long before 1950 the supply would be exhausted has already been belied. conceivable that in 1930 fully $250,000,000 is to be invested in lines to distribute a steadily dwindling supply of natural gas. No one knows how much natural gas still remains within the earth. The two fields that supply San Francisco are alone cap- able of producing 400,000,000 cubic feet daily for Birm- |seventy-five years. Since 80 per cent. of all the gas now consumed in the United States comes from oil fields and |from petroleum refineries, it is natural that manu- |facturers of coal gas should consider the future of their industry. They are not unduly alarmed. Edison taught them a lesson in economics. When the Edison Jamps were introduced it was freely predicted that gas was doomed. More gas than ever is now manufactured and consumed—but not| for illumination. Instead of succumbing to the com- the gas methods be sold companies improved their manufacturing and make gas so cheap that it could as a household and as an industrial fuel. Because of the inroads of natural gas, engineers foresee a more rational utilization of coal. The \gas manufacturing company will erect its gen- erators at the mine, pipe gas for hundreds of miles. and thus compete with natural gas. Natural and manufactured gas at not much more than half refineries. By applying the principles of Bergius, already accepted in Germany, gasoline will be synthesized from coal, as well as other motor fuels and half a dozen alcohols. The burning of |coal is destined to become a quaint anachronism. Smoke and soot, responsible for a deposit as high as 460 tons annually on a square mile in Chicago, will disappear, with an effect on the public health that can be imagined, not to mention a saving in Iproperty losses estimated at $500,000,000 a year for the country as a whole. All these consummations were devoutly wished and preached by chemists and gas engineers a generation ago. Apparently, lit remains for the competition of natural gas, piped over half the continent, to convert technical dreams {into realities. A Great Adventure. (Manchester Guardian.) Miss Johnson's flight of 9,500 miles from Croy- don to Port Darwin was completed on Saturday. No air adventure of recent years has excited so much interest. It was, of course, a skilful bit of avia- tion: it broke the record for speed between Croy- don and India. But that was not what made the world gasp with admiration. It was the sheer pluck of this young woman. She started alone in |a single-engined aeroplane, bought secondhand, with- out much experience of flying, to do a journey which to the expert eye demanded the best possible type of airplane and the most careful training and preparation. She is, of course, open to the charge of recklessness; but it looks foolish in face of her success. That she had not overlooked the risks is evident from her description of the joy with which she made out Melville Island, “I threw overboard,” she said, “my pneumatic pillow which I carried in case I crashed into the sea. I also caried a sheath knife for protection against sharks.” |Here certainly was not the courage which arises |merely from lack of imagination. Alaska Cruising. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Baron H. Long, rich California and Mexico turfman and hotel owner, brought his yacht to Seattle and thus states the next order of business: We're going to take our time, sauntering, as it were, by water, between Seattle and Alaskan ports. One day this kind of ”snumermg” will bring Seattle not the least of her items of fame. Eager as we are to contribute our mite to the solution of the prison congestion problem, we sug- gest that the Government utilize the padlocked buildings in housing the convict overflow.—(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)

Scott McBride says the Anti-Saloon League is religious because it opens its meetings with prayer, but the Senate does that, too.—(Philadelphia Inquirer.) Oddly enough, there is a certain amount of Department of Agriculture, the porcupine in many areas has branded itself as a pest that must be disquiet in Europe because Musolini and France are on speaking terms—(New York Times.)
