Last Monday, January 16, National I’m)ulmmnl 13 years old. Conceived in 1917, ratified by 36 States by January 29, 1919, on which date the Sec- retary of State gave notice by proclamation that w3 | liberty ‘untirinaly and with more than a modicum of suc- |cess. Its work will be carried forward by other |organizations sympathetically devoted to spreading |normal enlightenment among incompetent citizens. | The ‘committee accomplished much good. In | Louisiania alone 90,000 illiterates were given an op- portunity for instruction and in Georgia 118,000 re- ceived similar assistance. Thousands of others were likewise accommodated throughout the Nation. More than 4,000,000 illiterates out of a population of some 122,000,000 may not seem to be an ominous proportion, but it is a nucleus from which an infinite train of evil consequences could issue. Every com- munity should be aroused to intensive effort to assume the responsibility here indicated. Illiteracy is a fruitful source of crime, a breeder of inefficiency |and waste, the parent of poverty and a potential {hotbed in which seeds of social disorder are germ- inated. It is encouraging to see that the army of illiterates is slowly vanishing. Any way, lots of us wont have much trouble filling out the income blanks that just now are being' received in Uncle Sam’s mail deliveries, and |even less difficulty in convincing that same avuncu- lar personage that the income was below the figure at which taxing begins even under the revised income tax law. Senator Borah takes the position that if we are |to have real beer we will have to have somewhere |to drink it. If Congress will just make the necessary provision for the beer, us common folks will worryi iA!;uut little things like places to do the drinking. [ If the Filipinos are doubtful of how to use the that Congress is extending to them, they might import a few shiploads of our uplifters and reformers to set them on the right track. Andean Naval Warfare. (New York Times.) it would become effective on January 16, 1920, and | on that date the National Prohibition Act, oumr\usn]‘vmtod States naval squadron and a Canadian flo- known the Volstead Act, started out on its) momentous career. No-man or agency today can accurately measure | how greatly Prohibition has affected the American | Government and its people. Under it monstrous | evils have sprouted, mushroom-like, instead of the great beneficences that were to have followed in its wake. Under it, criminal bands have combined into super organizations of violence and terrorism with Midas-like wealth at their command, giving them a | power that has enabled them to challenge local,| State and National Governments and still live and prosper. In the lives of men and nations, 13 years is not | a long span. Yet it has been more than long enough to bring about a sweeping reversal of public opinion on this question. Only two States failed o ratify| the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution— Connecticut and Rhode Island. The total vote in1 the Senates of the several States was 1,310 for and 237 against—84.6 per cent. dry. In the lower Houses| as of the several States, the vote was 3782 for and 1,035 against—78.5 per These percentages very like! w higher than the division of sentiment in the people at large But the Nation was at least offici dry. With the immediate breakdown of enforcement and, as the evils of the system were more clearly delineated in each _sycpcgding year, the drift of sentiment was promptly against it and last year's elections demonstrated beyond any shadow of doubt that an overwhelming majority, probably as strong the official dry sentiment in 1920, was and is wet. Prohibition’s knell has been sounded. The present lame duck session of Congress may not start execution proceedings to carry out the verdict of the people delivered last November at the polls. If it does not, it will not be responsive to that de- cision. There is, however, no question that the next Congress will take such action by submitting to the several States a resolution to repeal the Eigh- teenth Amendment. And ratification by a sufficient number of States to make it effective ought not to require a lengthy period of years. Prohibition may survive its fourteenth and fifteenth birthdays but if it does it will be a stunted and freakish dwarf, more ineffective, if that is possible, than during its recent life. as i ILLITERACY SLOWLY V/ HING. The National Advisory Committee on Illiteracy has just filed its report. It estimates the Nation's illiterates as 4,283,753, of which 300,000 were found in Georgia, the largest number in any single State in proportion to population.

Cane, now Sir James, planned to marry Leila to Far- rell Armitage, restoring whose fortune caused the crash. But Farrell meets Barbara Quentin accidentally, and at once tells Leila he will marry Barbara in spite of the fact that Barbara plans to marry the cruel and crippled Mark Ledely in five days. Leila agrees to help and sends Far- rdl to take Barbara to a dance. CHAPTER 10.

The hope of capitalism's meeting our new problem lies not in drifting back to the old ways but in the elasticity of capitalism, in the radical changes it al- ready has accepted and absorbed and in the apparently endless capacity for change yet inherent in it. These words do not come from an “agitator” or from any of the “smash things” brigade. They were spoken by the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick in his serson last Sunday from the pulpit of River- |side Church. It is a fine and hopeful sign, we think, when liberal minded ministers of the Gospel are not afraid to make the words ‘“radical” and *“revolutionary” iring in the capitalistic ears of their congregations. Capitalism needs to hear, these days, not how little it must change but how much. It used to expect mainly approbation, comfort and reassurance from its pulpits. Dr. Fosdick gives it far saner, more stimulating and—in the end—safer doctrine.

I couldn't sleep that night for joy.” “And I couldn’'t sleep for—well, I had an interview with the vi- car when I got home.” Armitage recollected grimly. “Lord, the dear old man had a wonderful stroke' in those days!” Barbara had turned his facé to- ward him and he allowed himself a casual return of her glance. The darkness was passing from hef eyes but her lips still suffered. He felt a great longing te see her smile. He began to talk easily, enter- tainingly. He had traveled, work- ed, watched men and women trav- el and work—there must be some- thing out of all that to make her smile! He talked through M5, Lodely’s laugh and presently shé stopped laughing and became gen- uinely amused. Mark’s negligent charm quick- ened to excitement—to admiration. His eager comments begged for more. More life—more fun—more, more! Only the girl at the fire neither laughed nor spoke. Armitage abruptly turned to her, checking himself in mid-anecdote. Her eyes—and he had been right about them, they were deep haz- el—had grown friendly, rather wistful. Unchallenging. Her lov- liness was like a golden rush of light and beneath that and be- yond it was his feeling that she was his. “This is she—this is she” He thrust everything from him but his strategy. “I'm forgetting,” he said. “T sit garrously here while the question remains unsolved as to why my dancing partner has left me in the lurch.” The color rose under the white.

Work had been ‘ progressing at the rate of more than twenty feet each day. “The Sheep Creek Tunnel, when completed, will be ten thousand feet long and serve as the main artery carrying ores from the mines to the reduction plant on the wa- terfront,” The Empire story said. Miss Olson arrived in. Douglas from Brooklyn, New York, to mar- ry Henry Myers of the Treadwell Company.
