WILSON WEAKENS. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, head of the Metho- dist Episcopal Board of Temperance, Prohibition and | Public Morals, and most influential advisor of the Anti-Saloon League, has publicly admitted that the modification, at least, of the Prohibition laws is in- evitable under present “moral conditions” of the| country . He declared that there must be a revival| in morals under a great leader like Luther or Wes- ley if Prohibition is to be saved. | One of the great news associations in a Wash- ington dispatch recently gave out the following: Dr. Wilson believes there has been a let- down in morals In all directions. Witness the decrease in church attendance, “moral de- pression” in the home, with cigarette-smok- ing women and cocktail parties, he said, continuing: “We cannot go on at the rate we going. We must create an interest in servance of the. law or the law will fail. are passing through a serious period, a pe- riod of depression, that is not only in the world of business, but in the moral code as well. “The church is losing its authority. The Methodist Church, which for generations has been growing, is losing ground. “The colleges are failing in giving the moral background they gave before. “Church people are not contributing one- half of the amount they gave ten years ago to the Anti-Saloon League. “What we need is a great moral leader— another Martin Luther. 'We need another John Wesley—a great evangelist. “Many people drink to show their con- tempt for the law. When prohibition first came into being it was regarded as a fad to violate the law. But fads are not lasting. I firmly believe we will win through this try- ing time. But it will take faith and hard work, sacrifice and devotion. ' “Those are necessary if we are to keep the law unchanged.” are ob- We More disinterested, and therefore keener, ob-|in the development of law enforcement that State|in her work. servers than Dr. Wilson believe that, probably more than anyone else, Dr. Wilson is responsible for the circumstance that his church’ is “losing ground” and its influence waning. Churches begin slipping in this country whenever they become political organi- zations, and so many of the high officials of the Methodist Church, North and South, have devoted their attention to things' political at the cost of spiritual things that it is damaging the influence of those churches and causing decline in member- ship and church attendance. The Methodists would do well if they would discard Dr. Wilson and Bishop Cannon. The fact is that the struggle for Prohibition repeal or amendment is not immoral or unmoral. It has absolutely no connection with religion or spirithality. Many of the most important factors in the religious life of the Nation depricate the ac- tivity of church men in behalf of Prohibition. They realize that National Prohibition is impossible and organized church support of it is handicapping the cause of religion. It is important news, however, that probably the most persistent champion of Prohibition since the demise of Wayne Wheeler, secems to realize the fight for it is losing. PINCHOT WILL NOT BE NOMINATED. Tt does not seem possible that those who are advancing Gifford Pinchot as a candidate for President are really serious. The Presidency is a many-sided job and a one-idead man would be as useless in it as an armless man trying to paint a house. Gifford Pinchot has one paramount idea and that is Gifford Pinchot. He can work with no one. He insists that to retain his friendship peo- ple must work with him. ‘However, there is little to worry about from that source. The Republicans are not going to nomi- nate a minority Governor whom even the insurgents look upon as a bright idea in a naughty State. If they should nominate an insurgent (or progres- sive) he will be from the West. The average West- ern progressive (or insurgent) is about as far re- moved from Pinchotism as from Standpatism. The only thing he likes about Pinchot is that he opposes, sometimes successfully, Pennsylvania Standpatters. ADVERTISING AS A SCIENCE. Like all things, advertising has an evolution. A century ago the leading merchants resorted to what is now the classified ad and the modern display ad was unknown. The store which a century ago purchased newspaper advertising in quantities of a half dozen lines weekly now cntracts for one and two pages and the landlady advertising for a room- er or a young lady seeking a lost cat consumes more space in the newspaper of today than the most thriving merchant of yesterday. As in quantity, so has advertising had an evolu- tion of quality. Within the shopping memory of the present generation the advertisement, both ‘newspaper and magazine, has risen from a relation 1 ‘cally phrased, graphically illustrated and in the | case of magazines often beautifully lithographed. The modern advertisement is not a narration of igoods and prices; it is storehouse of information |about buying, styles, thrift and economy. | The public once complained of spending a pen- |ny for a newspaper and getting 50 per cent, more or less, of its paper in advertising. |are purchased by many for the advertisements alone, and as for the newspaper, the advertisements form an important part of the day’s reading. It has besn contended that monarchies are more stable than republics. However, we have not |heard that President von Hindenburg is contemplat- ing though a lot less rioting than that in Germany | has caused Kings to. abdicate. Most of those people who want a dictator in- stecad of government by the people have in mind a) personally chosen dictator. Twenty Grand has proved that those who named him were too conservative . It ought to have been at least a couple of hundred grand. Turning Against High Tariffs. (New York Times.) | Whatever else the proposed customs union be- tween A and Germany may have done, it has | clearly set in motion a strong movement agamst! protective tariffs all over the Continent. Even in Great Britain the political tide which seemed to be? sweeping back toward protection has been checked by the resolute opposition of Chancellor Snowden, and by the decision of the Liberal Party to hold out along with the Labor Party for free trade. At Geneva the preliminary discussions on Saturday led to a few sharp differences of opinion. But they related to questions of international law and the interpretation of treaties. On the main point—the economic point—there was almost absolute agree- ment. Italy vied with Austria, Germany with |France, in declaring that the system of high tariffs between the various countries had been harmful to all concerned. It may sound queer to American ears, but here is what the Foreign Minister of Ger- | many said: “High tariffs have resulted in over- production and in a lowering of the standard of living for the working classes.” Thus we have come to something like a climax in the prolonged Euro- pean discussion of this subject. There had been a theoretical consensus that something should be done, but nothing was done until the proposed Austro- German customs union was announced. That prov- ed to be like the sudden explosion which sets a glacier to slipping. Europe is rapidly coming| to the conviction that protective tariffs are simply an outworn failure. Tell it not in Washington, whisper it not to Senator Smoot, but the high tariff in the United States has never been more unpopular with Am- ericans than it is today. Many are blaming it, no doubt unfairly, as the sole and sufficient cause of our business troubles, but no impartial person | is heard to say a good word for it. The thousand or more economists who warned President Hoover in advance that the Hawley-Smoot tariff would prove to be a gigantic blunder have now only to point to the results to show that they were true prophets. Credulous Republicans who thought the tariff would work in a magical way to restore pros- perity are angrily asking where those benefits are which they were promised. Public sentiment in this country may change later, but at the moment it is fully as much opposed to high tariffs, and as ready to see them lowered or abolished, as it is in Europe. Oregon’s Step Forward. (Cincinnati Enquirer) This summer Oregon will take the largest step| has known since its inception. Under a law recent- ly approved, Governor Julius Meier is building a State police force on the most modern lines, in keep- ing with the latest devices yet found to aid in the enfprcement of law. Governor Meier points out that six distinct and independent agencies have been charged with law enforcement in Oregon, besides the miscellany of Sheriffs and constables and city police. All these scattered agencies have been covering the same ground, each trying to enforce a special part of the State law, none of them succeeding. He points out also tne growth of organized crime, keeping pace with the development of paved highways and swift transportation, filling jails and clogging Courts and making unsafe the lives and property of citizens in city and country. Quoting the American Bankers' Association Jour- nal, the Governor observes that in the matter of bank robberies the odds are eight to one against the | banks which are denied the speedy and efficient protection of state-wide police authority. “The protection of life and property is the most important function of the State”” Governor Meier concludes. “It was a desire for such protection that first brought men together into civilized so- ciety. The Stat> must discharge that function ef- ficiently and well or contempt for State regulations will follow and the result will be chaos.” Under the far-sighted leadership of Governor Meier and with the intelligent cooperation of the Legislature, Oregon is taking a notable step forward in the challenging task of law enforcement. One of | these days Ohio, too, may see the imperious neces- sity for a modern enforcement agency. If Congressmen want to go junketing to foreign lands on naval vessels, let 'em. Even a pacifist can feel kindly toward armament if it serves to educate Congressmen about foreign affairs—(Lorain, Ohio, Journal). ‘There are times when it looks as if the GREAT MINDS would have to lay aside the task of drought relief they started last year and devote their at- tention to flood relief.—(Cincinnati Enquirer). “I've been kicked out of better places than this,” yelled Texas Guinan, night club hostess, when France and England refused her admittance.
