The police powers are reserved to the States under the Fed- eral Constitution. State's rights have been jealously guarded, and encroach- ments upon the prerogatives of the States have been resisted. The duties of the States and their fulfillment by the State governments are as impor- tant as States’ rights. The Federal Gov- ernment should not be called upon to deal with the crooks and gangsters who violate the laws of the States. The Federal Government, the Presi- dent made it clear, will co-operate to the extent of its power with the State governments to rid the States of the gangsters and the “rackets.” There are Federal laws under which criminals may be prosecuted, and these Federal laws already are being enforced. Mr. Hoover does mot plan to ask Congress at the coming session for an extension of Fed- eral criminal law. He believes there ic sufficient law on the statute books of the States and the Federal Government to- day to deal with the criminals. has, however, sounded a demand that the States themselves tackle the job of reducing crime through the process of punishing the criminals and breaking up the criminal gangs. ‘The eyes of the country have been turned toward Chicago and New York City particularly, because of the daily reports of murder and robbery in those cities. The charge is made that the judicial system in New York has been tampered with by corrupt politicians who sell judgeships. More and more testimony is being developed to show that this charge is correct and that the men selected to see that justice is done and the laws upheld are in league with the criminals themselves.! It is a situa- tion that the people of New York must deal with. The protection of the criminal classes in Chicago by officials of city and county has been charged again and again. If the State and municipal governments in this country would do their share and their duty, murder and executive branch of the Government too often have been guilty of encouraging this attitude on the part of the States. ‘The breakdown of the whole system of the Government of the United States, which leaves to the individual States the duty of protecting their citizens against criminals, will follow if the peoples of the States do not take these matters to heart and insist that their State governments shall function properly. From many of the States have come walls because of the national prohibi- tion laws. These dry laws, State offi- clals say, have widened the fleld of eriminality and have made it impossible for them to cope adequately with the eriminal gangs and the racketeers. The great trouble lies in the fact that State officials, not sympathetic with the pro- hibition laws, have been content to turn their backs while bootlegging has flourished. Under the Constitution the States are jointly directed with the Federal Government to enforce the eighteenth amendment. As long as these prohibition laws are on the statute books it is the duty of the State officials to uphold them. But there are many laws aside from the dry laws which are violated constantly and with increasing frequency. The offenders in many cases are never eaught, or if they are eaught, they go 8ot free. ————————— ‘The much-heralded voyage of the DO-X thue 2 euner resembles a lady erossing & brook on stepping stones, with & pause for celebration and re- freshments at every boulder. “Visit Your Capital.” ‘Without trying to make a Los Angeles, Calif.; & Houston, Tex., or & San Some- thing-or-other, Fla,, out of Washing- ton, D. C, the Board of Trade should be able to accomplish a great deal through & carefully planned and ade- quately financed program of nationally the form of advertising and pub- Meity campaigns best suited for its pur- mection with the bicentennial celebra- tion of 1932. ‘There are, of course, material ad- vantages to be expected from an or- ganized advertising and publicity cam- Paign—the same advantages that lead other cities to bid for the patronage velopment the pride hand inspection to learn how the Government here functions. ‘The Board of Trade does not intend to center its activity on “booming” city in the usual sense, nor should emphasized is the unique location of the Capital within easy motoring dis- tance of famous historical points in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. An invitation to visit Washington nat- urally includes an opportunity to visit many places nearby intimately asso- clated with the birth and the history of the Nation. The Board of Trade is depending upon co-operation of the raflroads and transportation companies in its cam- paign. It might count as much on the co-operation that should willingly come from the Federal Government. The builders of Washington are doing more than merely providing adequate hous- ing for the Government's working force or laying out parks and highways for recreation. “It is our primary duty,” as President Hoover has said, “to do more than erect offices. We must fit that program into the traditions and sym- bolism of the Capital. Our forefathers had a great vision for the Capital of America, unique from its birth in its inspired conception, flexibility and won- derful beauty. * * * This is more than merely the making of a beautiful city. Washington is not only the Nation's C.pital; it is the symbol of America.” In 1932 Washington will throw wide its doors and bid the Nation enter. The invitation should reach everybody. The symbol should be known. R Cuban Censorship. The three most important Spanish language newspapers of Havana and other dailies, weeklies and magazines of Cuba are maintaining the highest traditions of journalism by choosing to suspend publication rather than submit to the censorship imposed by the Cuban government. Their heritage in & free country is freedom of the press. Upon its preservation depend not only their lives and success as newspapers, but in even larger measure the life and prog- ress of their country. As newspapers, they are deserving of high commenda- tion; as patriots and citizens, they are fulfilling an obligation. As one of the “measures of precau- tion” adopted by the Cuban government during the present crisis the “suspen- sion of constitutional rights” ordained by the Cuban Congress carried with it s censorship reputedly extending to press, cable, telegraph, telephone and radio. The viewpoint of the censorship, from the censored at least, is that it prohibits the unbiased publication of local news relating to the economic and political problems of the republic. As the publicafjon of such news would in- vite government interference, the news- papers affected suspended publication. Last Sunday they printed a combined edition, presenting the latest world news for the momentary enlightenment of & su] free people plunged in the darkness that accompanies suspension of the functions of the press. Many of this joint-edition were sup- by the government. Cuba’s problems are her own and the hope of her friends is that she will be able to solve them without interference from the outside. Censorship and with- drawal of the traditional privileges of the press are stumbling blocks along complete independence and lend itself to such practices is a healthy It promises more toward the accomplishment of real progress than all the agsuring government manifes- toes that can be printed. il o o To & man of Stalin’s type and posi- tion an occasional assassination rumor becomes & normal part of his career. A dictator must be able to establish the charmed life in popular superstition as part of his regular working equipment. —t——————— There is a certain reluctance about jury service with s chance of being locked up. However interesting the trial, there is no demand for ring-side seats. A “lame duck” would not be regarded as s0 objectionable if it did not insist on getting out of step and trying to lead the legislative parade. Getting the Jump. The Republican insurgents in the Sen- ate have boldly seized the lead in the development of a legislative program in the coming short session of Congress. It the measures which the insurgents are demanding are brought to a vote and passed, the credit will be claimed by the Republican insurgents. The Democrats so far have contented them- selves with following the lead of the insurgents, although it is quite obvious that the Democrats hold the great mass of votes required to put through these progressive measures. Had Democratic leaders immediately announced their program of legislation, in definite, con- crete form, as the insurgent Republicans have done, after the elections, the party would be in position of leadership in the coming short session. As it is, the Progressives apparently have scored, while the Democrats so far are without a definite program. Republican leaders in House and Sen- ate, it is now reported, have decided not to put stumbling blocks in the way of voting on the measures advocated such scquiescence is the avoidance of & special session of the newly elected permitted to come to a vote in the short session. These pet measures include the Norris resolution proposing & consti- tutional amendment doing away with the “lame-duck” sessions of Congress, the Norris bill for government operation of the Muscle Shoals power project, the ing message to Congress. Until it is revealed, the country will be in mno position to judge of it. If the President puts forward sound proposals that THIS AND THAT BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Perhaps the Democratic leadership will arrive at some definite legislative program by the opening of the Congress session, too. So far, the only concrete proposals put forward by the Demo- crats are for a five-day work week, ad- vocated by Chairman Raskob of the Democratic National Committee as a means of curing the unemployment sit- uation, and & proposal made by former Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio, Democratic candidate for President in 1920, to re- peal the Smoot-Hawley tariff act im- mediately. The proposal of Mr. Ras- kob carries with it the demand that wages shall remain the same for the five-day work week as they stand at present. Just what is going to happen to productivity and the prices charged for products under such changed con- ditions remains to be explained. After all, the producers must obtain sufficient money from their products to continue to pay the wages of their employes. — e The regal spotlight skips from Ant- werp to Assisl, from Addis Ababa to Oslo, where King Heakon's twenty- fifth anniversary is to be attended by several “royal flushes” It seems as though the training of a future mon- arch and & sales manager were Very much the same.
