One of the major cfforts dispatch tion, it is said, will of his administr be an attempt to enforce the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act.

All of which reads as if the nation is to sail over a new route to the millennium. One gets an uncomfort- | able feeling, of course, that the plan as outlined hints that prohibition so far hasn't jeen well enforced, which would be in the nature of & left- handed criticism of the present ad- of secret modification that is lawiess in the extremq. There is much te be sid in fuver of legel medificstion of a sort that will take the private protita out of the liquor racket. How to bring this about deserves more attentiop than it is getting. Mr. Hoover will no doubt enter the fray full of confidence. But it takes more than that to attain suc- cess. e DON'T BE NARROW-MINDED care about our health in this direc- tion helps us to aveld other trouble- some allments as well.

Mr. Monier, returning from a sleigh ride about two hours after closing the ttore 2zt 9:45 o'clock, found the store in confusion and reported the matter t the police. The glass in the rear door was broken and the iron door bar raised to admit the burglars.

Johnson is'a paid employe of flie city. As clerk he has certain duties to perform.” Tn a political of- fice it is not always possible to per- form those duties completely and thoroughly because politics hinders _the exccution of many a task. Tech- | nically, Johnson is to blame for the situation if one of his jobs was to |send out ‘the bills .referred to. But ! why pick on a clerk and let the man | higher up get away? ‘This, it seems, is'life as is, not as the ‘colorful story hooks describe it.

Then the house settles into quiet and you think you can sleep at last. Ha, ha! A despicable motorist drives |up across the street and blows his horn for what seems like hours in an attempt to raise someone, and py the time this is over the family upstairs has come home from the show, a fact of which you are ap- prised by the dropping of two heavy shoes directly over your buzzing head. 8till, it doesn't take forever fér that family to get to bed either, and again silence pervades the house as you drop off for a few minutes. Suddenly you wake up again with a distinct knowledge that something is wrong. It is the weather. With these sudden charges of tempera- ture that we have been undergoing lately, it is impossible to guess which way the next shift will be when you put up your window. If you raise it but & notch, it turns warm, and if you lift it far up a cold spell results. You can't beat it, and so it happens that you wake up either half frozen or with a big head which would do very well if taken to Compounce and substituted for the merry-go-round. You rec’ify the position of the window and crawl back to bed, just as someone next door begins to cough horribly. No doubt the poor | fellow is suffering ten times as much as you, b-* at this stage of the game you have no sympathy for him and wish that he might choke to death or do anything else which would stop his hacking. That choking to death is a possibility, and it is the only thing that sustains your faltering mind. Possibly it happens, for the noise—that noise, we mean—finally stops. But & worse one results. From the next rooms you hear sounds that in- form you that at least one member of the family has weathered the racket and gone to sleep, for he is snoring in fearful fashion. Here is another chance to wish for choking to death, but you know from past experience that there is no chance | of his doing it. You bury. your head under the blankets, but lack |of air forces you out again to mect nce more the grindings of the human sawmill in the nearby room.

While the President-clect fondly aspires to encourage greater respect for the law the Senate judiciary committee has begun consideration of a resolution for an independent and impartial commission to investi- gate the entire prohibition question. in an endeavor to find out why the | law isn't enforced. Mr. Hoover, it is stated, will co-operate with the com- mission. Tt is possible, too, that the commission may come to the re- markable conclusion that the 18th | Amendment should be taken out of the Constitution, or that the Vel- | stead Act should be modified. If this should be the result of the commis- sion's investigation Mr. Hoover would be in & rather embarrassing position. But perhaps much to expect. 1f Mr. Hoover is dry now he will stay dry regardiess of the commission’s findings. Dr. J. M. Doran, prohibition com- missioner, recently told the Senate that to properly enforce the dry law will cost the government $300,000,- 000 annually.
