The vote of bootleggers probably ‘ doesnt’ total enough to elect any- body, and probably is as well scattered as there are points on the compass; but it their customers are included, the total would be vastly increased. Anyway, the administration is going ahead with a new. method to quash the bootlegging business, and the plan is to kill It at its source. As all the political parties have taken a stand for obeying the law, carrying out the 18th amendment and inflicting every phrase in the Volstead act, there will be no political objections. What is planned is to destroy rum row with the aid of units from the American navy. At League Island navy yard, Philadelphia, chief prepar- ations appear to be under way. Numerous destroyers, some with the insignia upon their smokestacks in- dicating they sank one or more sub- marines during the world war, are be- ing prepared to go upon the high seas and drive the rum row fleet from the territorial waters of the United States. The three-mile limit against the rum fieet having heen expanded through treaties there will be plenty of room for major operations. Guns may boom if the rum fleet contests the waves, and we wouldn't bet a nickel on the chances of any rum ship afloat to withstand the activities of Uncle Sam's navy. % It is believed that rum row will be erippled in six months and practically destroyed in less than a year. The plan is.to transfer 30 navy destroyers to the coast guard and equip 200 fast patrol boats and launches and enlist 3,800 men in the special rum chasing service. About a year ago, when the sug-| gestion was made to use American naval vessels in a war of extermina- tion against the rum fleets, or at least to guard the American coasts, con- | eiderable opposition was raised and the administration ruled against mak- ing rum-chasers out of naval veasels. The attitude appears to have changed, and the boys in the wide trousers and | comfortable-looking shirts will be glven some action on the high seas. We ‘are reminded that the western vote s generally dry and that the eampaign will be decided largely in the west. Perhaps the administra- tlon—well, what's the use of pound- ing another chord piano? on the political | DRY CONGRESSMEN, Hope for amelioration of the rigors of the Volstead act lics In electing | con smen willing to soften this act.

If the United States were to double its population in a century, other natioi without doubt will not be standing’| still. Within a century all habitable parts of the globe may be pretty well occupied, and this conquering bus- iness unless it included the annihil- ation of entire populations, doesn’t appear to be reasonable, not to say humane, When we examine the possibilities of the Malthuslan theory, however, grave doubts arise as to its practical fulfillment, It is possible, of course, for the human race to multiply so rapidly that the food supplies will be inadequate, But the probability is that as the human race raises its standard of living its reproduction will decline. This we see all around us ewen now. Reproduction is high- est among those classes of the popu- lation where the standard of'llving is lowest; and reproduction is highest among such nations where the stand- ards are even lower than the lowest on the American continent. It was no uncommén thing, in the early history of our own nations, for parents to have a dozen children, and most of our early men of prominence were well provided with brothers and sisters. But the native population to- day is far less productive; the fami- lies for the most part are two or three children. When it is remembered that two children to a family means standing still, it is evident that the increase among native Americans is not swift, Our foreign population increases faster; but there is no reason to think that as its members become affluent and their standard of living hecomes more and more “American” that they will continue to increase so readily. A slowing up in the second and third generation is already noticeable, With immigration lessened by law, and the standards of living of the en- tire human race constantly being raised, it i8 probable that in a cen- tury from now the Mailthusian theory will be far from being proven. Some parts of the world today of- fer striking contrasts as to popula- tion. Japan is overpopulated, and its diffiuclties from this source tincture its national policy. Italy also has a surplus of population, and it is the policy of the government to send the surplus elsewhere, The standard of living in both these nations are lower than in America, but in both it Is steadily approaching higher levels, The population of one of the great- est of modern states — France — has been standing still for decades.

You would eay that In the flrlt' place they don't buy books, and such | an do hew close to those of superficial ! contents, But you have guessed wrong. Haldeman-Jullus, who runs a book- publishing plant in Girard, Kans,, and boasts that he has sold 60,000,000 books in five years—all of them ex- ceedingly low-priced pocket-size edi- tions—announces that the best sellers comprise history, then comes classic fiction, and then sclence, philosophy and religion. This Henry Ford of the book bus- incss is a young man of 35 years. He once was a New York reporter and book reviewer. He went to Kansas five years ago and took possession of the printing plant of the Appeal to Tteason, a defunct Socialistic publica- tion, and began to publish books. The Appeal was turned into a literary journal, Every one of the 3,000 souls in Girard thought him crazy. The editor —he atill prefers to be known by thit title—sometimes had reason to agree with them. The editor has reprinted 600 titles ot standard works and has sold them in huge quantities. Liberal advertis- ing boosted the sales so tremendously that he was able to cut his first price in halt and make more profits than before; which by the way is a pretty good lesson in merchandising prac- tice. The editor has added titles to the series that are rare, having been out of print for decades; original works have also been added. The upbullding of such an enor- mous publishing business circulating more than 10,000,000 volumes a year —and probably the figures now are nearer 20,000,000—must truly be. re- garded as one of the greatest pub- lishing feats of the age. It has been supposed that becaulle of widespread use of the automobile and the movies people would read less of the classics; Haldeman-Jullus has started them reading the classics more than ever. As for his “policy"—every book pub- lisher has one—Ilisten to this: “There is literally no subject T will not give a hearing. I have no- political, social or business axe to grind, no special cause to plead, no one standpoint to -em- phasize, I am free to give Mr. Hughes a hearing on the Monroe doctrine, and Emma Goldman on anarchism. 1 am publishing the lissence of Catholicism, an au- thoritative work passed upon by a priest of the Catholic church. I am also publishing works on Dar- winism, Sociallsm and the Ku Klux Klan, Let us print the truth as well as the best minds can see and present it. I have earned the right to publish so- called sex books. That does not mean pornography, but books passed upon by such men as Dr. Morris Fishbein, associate editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association.” MUD-SLINGING. Gov. Al Smith of New York, during a visit to Poughkeepsie lightly re- marked that in the present campaign “we're going to treat ’em rough.” The acceptance speech of John W. Davis at Clarksburg was described by innumerable commentators as an “ats ! tack without gloves' Other dispatches from Democratic | sources indicate that an attempt will ba made to “destroy the Coolidge legend,” which suggests that the cam- | paign may descend to the level of| personalities, |' We don't think Mr. Coolidge “"”i reply to pergonalities nor that he will indulge in them himself, and that he will succeed in holding most of his adherents in check should they have a tendency to sling mud. 1t there is | one thing above all others that keeps voters away from the polls it is dis- over mud slinging.

Staring you in the face is a flaming red sign proclaiming, “30 Min, Parking,” from its perch on a pole. Although it has an anelogous effect on you, it does not make you feel exactly bully, Your car again slides up to the curh. This time a yellow “No Parking” sign casts its sickly jaundiced hue into your consciousness. Why do they put thess ahominable things in the best spaces for parking? The revolving stands at the corners, turned vallantly from “Go"” to “Stop” at your ap- proach, are gleaming white, matching the officer's short at the start of the day's grind in the sun, A new stand and box at busy corner are green. So is the flashing light at the foot of the Triangle. If you are color blind, you miss half the fun of autoing and get only the shocks which come from reading the inscriptions on the multi- colored directors of humanity. Not satisfied with filling the air with directions, safety first seckers are be- ginning to use the road itself. Long angles, and manifold warnings greet the eye of the autoist and prove that a man who follows the dictum of 50-foot shelt of books to do-his day's reading. Yet after all these things have sense. But how about the thermo- meter at the City Hall corner? Do the confident traffic police, serenely surveying their record in avolding au- tomobile wrecks by directing traffic, think that they make this world still more salubrious by directing the tem- perature? * e Bicycles in New Britain are not ex- actly a thing of the past, but they are decidedly fewer in number than in the old days when the ambition of every 100 per cent American boy was to own a Columbia chainless, or the next thing to it. New Britain and environs always indeed, that is true of most of New England, because of the hilly nature of the country. Still, a bicycle rider is not necessarily prevented from rid- ing out into the country merely be- cause there are hills; we remember {that in the old days it was customary to walk up the hills that proved too | much for the biceps. Bicycles today are stabilized; they jare used primarily among the young. { Most boys like bicycles and they come in handy with which to run errands. Also to use in going to school. Bicy- cle riders are hard nuts for automo- bilists, however; yet comparatively few bicycle riders ever get hurt, com- pared with the large number that re- main on the highways.
