It is therefore only what can be expected when agents of the department of justice and civil- s are arrested under a conspiracy charge whereby it is alleged they un- dertook te prevent the enforcement of the prohibition law by resorting to bribery. It can be realized that it offered a profitable field for operations even in connection with the war time act, for the sudden shutting off of the supply of liquor from the channels where it had been freely obtaineq left an un- satisfied demand that it was highly profitable to serve, and particularly so if it was possible to overcome the danger of being subjected to prosecu- tion for violating the law. And of course what is true under war time prohibition will be greatly increased under permanent prohibition. But whether it is war time or con- stitutional prohibition as long as it is the law the provisions for enforcing it sbould be upheld in all details. If there are those in the government's employ who are willing to wink at the law’'s enforcement because of bribes the quicler they can be located and penalized the better. The very fact that the law was not popular with some was nc reason for disregarding it or overWwoking duty in.connection therewith.

But whether they are or not the Mexican government should not only be called upon, but should be anxious to do its utmost to bring about the capture of the guilty mren, but in the meantime it can be expected that this government will not do all within its power to acomplish the same thing. *Fiad Mexico shown the dispo- sition to bring to justice those who have caused the deaths of Americans it would doubtless be considered wisc to leave the task in this instance to that government. Such ‘would be no different than reiying upon this coun- try to make every effort to punish cut- throats and outlaws, but MeXico has not shown a disposition”to meet its obligations in this respect and there are numerous instances where it is evidgnt it was not able tp control kid- nappers and bandits. Under such conditions it behooves this govern- ment to do everything possible to aid in the capture of the men who killed our aviators. . HANDLING ANARCHISTS. A bill that cannot fail to excite in- terest is that presented .by Senator McKellar for the-purpose of dealing with the anarchists, but it is question- ed whether the senator js really se- rious in regard to- W trrg its pas: age, in spite of the meed t there is for dealing with -dangerous ele- ment. Fost According to this propesed legisla- tion such people would be exiled and an island in thé Philippines set aside as a place to which they couid be sent ms criminals. In ifirst place the Philippines wouild' ut doubt raise a big holler over tha:: mination of that part of the Pacific,’ white it is to be realized that if suCh & course was adopted it would mean ;:;_sonsunt ex- | pense to see that they ‘did not escape and possibly it necessary to mzintain them 2 There can be ha-question but what this country should Zet rid of the an- archists and other undesirables who are always diligently at work creat- ing trouble and pia destruction. But it is Dbelieved that it should be done otherwise than by the way Sen- ator McKellar suggests, - We should | in the first place see-that-such people are denied admittance to the country. We have no room for them and we have no time to bother with them. That those who do get in may not fall into their practices a definite and de- termined Americaniation movement should be instituted throughout the entire country. - No one should be al- lowed to escape it. And for those who have been able to get in and are prac- ticing their doctrines and inflaming the country, the quickest possible ac- tion in the way of deportation should bo resorted to in'thé case of aliens, while any who are citizens should be made to comply with the laws, in which teeth should be put if there are not enough there. There is no ques- | tion but what -serious “thought. must be given to dealing with such a dan- gerous and undesirable element. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Keeping the home fires burning is going to be a harder job than ever with the miners unwilling to do any- thing but strike. 1t is predicted that Scotland will {go ary in its special electién next! year. Many, however, will prefer to wait for the returns. Th~ wan or the corner says: A suf- ficient time has elapsed to develop the fact that profiteering in monkey glands has been started.

Strikers do not care how much val- uable fruit and other. foodstuffs are rotting becauSe they will not work, but they wonder why it is that prices go up and it costs more to live. ‘When Senator Watson declares the federal trade commiasion is full of reds, he probably doesn't overlook the fact that there are other organiza- tions that need fumigating just as bad. » It sounds interesting to hear sugar refiners say that the removal of con- -trol would mean lower prices, when everyone knows that mothing could be done that would hasten an advance quicker. 3 It can safely be said that the king | senat: and queen of Belgium are not patrons of German opera while in New York. With Italians ret to this country because of high prices and profiteering our sympathy ‘must go out to Italy. & WASHINGTON Washington, D. C., Oct..27.—Ag the end of the extra session draws near one of the biggest problems . to be solved by congress is the plan under which railroads are to be turned back from government to' private control. The interstate commerce committee of the house is still working on a plan covering transportation, rates divi- dends and iabor conditions. Without adequate transportation the com- merce of the country would come to a standstill and-in the midst of the question of turning back the roads comes the threatened strilke affecting all industries. It's a knotty problem that faces congress and if the matter comes before it at this-sessibn it is doubtful if it can be worked out to a finish - before the regular session be- ginning December first. The senate is working overtime on the treaty and ‘would not be likely to take up the rail- road Dbill till December even if the house acted on it. Some time ago the president stated his intention to re- turn the roads to private management Jan. 1, 1920, but doubts are expressed if he would take that step if congress foung itself unable to meet the situa- tion on that date, on account of tfe necessary time spent in discussing the peace treaty. However that may be, ‘congress will act at the earliest possi- ble date. Congressman Merritt of Connecticut is a member of the inter- state commerce committee, which is a member of the interstate commerce committee, which is regarded as one of the most impotrant in congress. It is seldom a first-termer gets an as- signment to either ‘the ways and means or the interstate commerce and it is a high tribute to Mr. Merritt's reputation as a business man that he was placed on that committee, while many old-timers were clamoring vain- Iy for the assignment. The committee expects to report out the bill this month but beyond that nothing is defi- nite although it is likely to be debated and perhaps passed by the house, and then wait until December for action by the senate. State and local interests are now in the background and not until next session are they likely to be brousht up for consideration. There is a pros- pect of a short adjournment between sessions, but like many other congri sional matters, it is still problemati cal. The session which opens De- cember first is the so-called long ses- sion and is indeterminate in its length, usually lasting far into the fall. Tha fact that 1920 1s a presidentic with national corventions to m June may sherten the session, the outlook is towards a crop of pres- idential candidates gathered from the halls of congress. There is sceming- ly no change in the condition of the president and anxiety in hiz behalf has not lessened. What .will happen to e péace ireaty, which is certain to dergo extreme changes from the ape in which it was presented to the is another vexed question bear- ongly on the ccndition of the president. Without his strong hand and determined action the administra- tion leaders are like a ship without a rudder, or compass. They know neith- er in what direction to steer nor have they any steering gear. They be simply drifting while waiting 1 “something to turn up” and meantime are keeping up the appear- ance of a game fight. As a fact, they cagnot win out and the only question seems to be whether they shall defeat the treaty or let it take its course of ratification with the eteff reservations framed by the foreign relations com- mittee. The latter looks the most probable at this moment, as without presidential instructions Floor Leader Hitchcock would hesitate to assume such grave responsibility. Few, it any, senators, believe the president will be able to take a hand in the mat- ter by the time the treaty is acted up- on, which will be in a few weeks. “Very well” said Mrs. Tilson, wife of the congressman from the Third Con- necticut Congressional district. “then I will take the school today” as she calmly faced an unruly little crowd of romping fr@licking children in one of Washingtords public schools where the teacher had failed to show up and the children were having the time of their life in_sudden and unrestrained free- dom. Whereupon Mrs. Tilson took off her hat, stepped to the desk and open- ed the school. It happened a few mornings ago and,in this way Mrs. Tilson. who is a Smith College grad- uate, had taken two of her little chi dren by the hand and led them to the school where they were about to be entered as pupils, but found no teach- er. Unfortunately Washington has an alarming shortage of schoolhouses and of teachers, brought about by the tre- mendous rise in its population owing to the influx of workers and their families. Overflow schools have been established in many districts but the shortage in teachers is so great that sometimes embarassing results follow. 1In this case Mrs. Tilson met the situation by restoring order, teach- ing the classes all day, showing her own ddies that “mother could do anything” even_under strange circum- stances nnd woh for herself the thanks of the school authorities of \Washing ton as well. Senator McelLan. as chairman of the committee on banking and currency ended a long seige of arduous hearings Saturday, when the committee report- ed through him. an adverse report on the confirmation of John Skelton Wil- liams as comptroller of the United States treasury. The appointment has been under fire by the senate for many months. Senator Brandegee continues to lead the senate forces who are against any- thing short of the most complete pro- tection of the interests of the United States if a league of nations is ac- cepted by the senate. Not long ago Mr. Brandegee announced he would vote for every amendment and every reservation and then vote against the treaty as a_whole, characterizing it as a contrivance which would blow up under the first pressure.” And.in this point of view he has many followers in the senate, although they may be less fearless in expressing it. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Reader and Self-Determination. Mr. Editor: As might be expected, “Self Determination” has added an- other assumption that A Reader seemed to be angry, because of the overwhelming list of quotations given from high authorities. Indeed. no, neither was A Reader out on a for- lorn hope of setting Mr. Determination right, nor of defending Mr. Ringland, who is fully competent to substantiate his own argument. My only aim was to note that the position talen in the longer letter did mot touch the ques- tion. No doubt these quotations were correct, and indicate that this writer had given pains to look them up, but so far as their being within the scope Are You Too Fat?

It spoiled all the fun. I took the part of the girl who did make the cake and I got into a peck of trouble.

Peonle, alive now. do not need to examine the archives to ascertain that the entente allies went to war in self defence. They did not. even, go to war to defend and preserve Belgium, and admitting all the cita- tions given to be true and in force, the assumption that Ireland stands on the same footing as Poland. is not granted by any of the’ authorities. This dis- tinction is really what troubles “Self Determination”; but that is a ques- tion by itself quite entirely apart from the object of this discussion at this time. A READER. 27, 1919, Norwich, Oect. Gleaned from Foreign Ex. changes - The paper that told its readers thal the British troops only left North Russia just in time to beat the White Sea ice was not quite accurate. It is very rarely that the northern ports Sea — Archangel and ‘Mezana — closed by ice before the end of Ocr:r, and they have fre- quently remained open until the end of November. The most southerly pe:t, @nesa. has heen free of ice well into e middle of December in some years, but now and again. so erratic is the ice movements. this port has been closed before either of the other two, These dates apply to the ten years before the war. During the ‘war, thanks to the efficacy of the pow- erful ice-breakers sent from Canada, it has been #9ssible to get into and out of at least one of the While Sea ports as late as January, and had the nec- essity arisen this winter efforts were to have been made to keep Archangel open permanently . Not content with a gain of three in- ches in height during the last half century, the average woman is sud- denly expanding her shoulders. Ex- perts attribute this to school gymnas- tics, and swimming practice, but what are the railway companies going to do about it—issue an order against physi- cal development, erase their “to seat five persons” legend, or build coaches to_measure? In the average passenger of either sex it is the spoulders that count, but they measure less than most people imagine. Most coaches allow an av- erage of 17 to 18 inches. Sir Charles Chadwyck-Healey’s name will always be identified with the resuscitation of the naval volunteer movement. This well known K. C. was associated in his vounger days with the old Royal Naval Artillery Volun- teers, which were disbanded in 1589 by a reactionary Admiraity board be- cause they were mostly Jandsmen. It was Mr. Chadwyck-Healey who induc- ed Mr. Arnold-Torster nine years lat- er to revive this voluntary auxiliary. and the Roval Naval Volunteer R serve came into being. The new force bscame very pop- ular. When the call came in 1814 it entered into every theatre of war, afloat and ashore, and supplied the Royal Naval Division as well as the fleet with willing recruits. Sir C. Chadwyck-Healey lived long enough to be included in the list of ‘war honors for the great service he had done to the country by his foresight and zeal 20 vears ago. 1 The walking experience that so many of us had last week raises the question of whether the walking stick is a help or a hindrance. The old pilgrim clung religiously to his staff, but later walkers have doubted if he were wise. The soldier is ailowed only a_ cane, too short to reach the ground, and, therefore only usefui to occupy the hands. And-many experienced walk- ers maintain that a glove or a dog- Jead is all you want. Something to occupy the fingers without upsetting rh the poise of tre body. . When an officer does company drill in public nowadays he must remember that many of the onlookers, in spite of their mufti. are by way of being experts in the subject. A Scottish officer drilling his men in the Green Park yesterday had for spectators a number of men who wers inciined to criticise. When he had his company in close eolumn of platoons, and gave the order “Change direction someone exclaimed, “He can’t do it. The company’s marcn- ing by the right” Then followed a long argument in a little group on park chairs under the trees—someone brought out the inevitable four atches to illustrate hix point—as for a few happy moments they forgot they were civilians again. Then the matehes were picked up, and with a wistful glance at the men on parade the critics went back to their offices again, An airplane came droning ever the far woods!

STORIES OF THE WAR Trenches Along the Yser. (By The Associated Press. Lining the banks of the Yser river, far as the eye can see, are the trenches which for so many months during the war were occupied by the Belgian and German armies, the Bel- zians on the south baux and the Ger- mans on the north. They stil bear many marks of shell and rifle fire, and mouldy straw lying on the damp floors still copvey some idea of the hard- Shime to which the soldiers were stb- jected. On the German side of the river is a dugout, built to resist the heaviest projectiles, and cool even on a hot day. It was a favorite gather- ing spot for the Germans when Z.e fighting was fiercest, but mow serves the more useful purpose of a refrig- erator. Instead of the bunks and chairs which once lined its sides ope now sees pile upon pile of beer cases. filled with refreshment for the soldier suard at work cleaning up the gorund. Behind the dugout, the bodies of three soldiers—two Belgians and one German—were buried on the bank of a tiny popd, made by bursting shells.
