A reader points out that the Volstead act seems to have made lawbreakers out of the people who are nor- mally law-abiding. “Men of wealth, culture and high standing in the com- munity,” he wri “who before prohibition came in were punctilious in law-obedience, many of them church-goers, are buying and drinking whisky without shame. They are, indeed, a little proud of their lawlessness. “Women of the same class, who before prohibition were wont to upbraid their husbands if they came home with liquor on their breath, women who would not permit uor-drinking in their homes, are now brewing beer, dis- i booze, and making queer concoctions guaranteed to administer the kick, in their kitchens. Why is this?” Easy! The “law-abiding” citizen is not tempted to commit Murder. So he frowns on murderers and insists upon a ‘trict enforcement of all laws touching murder, and prompt, stern punishment of all murderers. The “law-abiding” citizen is not tempted to pick pockets and he has no patience with thieves. So he demands that faws against theft be enforced and that thieves be pun- ed. The “law-abiding” citizen does not snuff cocaine. A @readful habit! He is a good family man and does not dally along the primrose path. So he regards the narcotic Jaws and the white slave act as good laws. But along comes Mr. Volstead and his act making it Mlegal to drink beverages containing more than a trifling tage of alcohol—and it’s the first law I know of it interferes with the pleasure of the “law-abiding” n. Whereupon he says: “Dammit! This is interference with my personal liberty. Whisky never did me any I can take it or leave it alone. I'll drink if I ‘want to.” This is the first time the “law-abiding citizen” has ever put to the test, the first time the law ever told him “he couldn’t do a thing he wanted to do—and he has failed measure up to his reputation, that’s all. Most of us obey the law because we fear the conse- ‘uences if we don't. ‘The citizen who obeys the law because he likes to is a “Words which flow fresh and warm from a full heart, and which are with the life and breath of human feeling, pass into household and partake of the immortality of the affections from which spring. —Whipple. “Too many women shoot their husbands,” says a judge.

More Soft Jobs for Somebody President Harding asks congress for authority to ‘¢reate “a commission for a searching investigation of the whole coal business.” Give it to him! Give it to him! Of course, when the commission gets too searching, the coal profiteers can get a federal judge to grant an injunction, but it’s simply awful, nowadays, to see the president, or anybody else, suffering for want of a commission.

He had two more wives than divorces. Christianity, War and the Orient - In the Far East, Christianity has come to mean “war,” says Fred B. Smith, religious investigator, after an Ori- ental tour. In India they told him, “Christianity, a can- Non-ball, a submarine and a gas bomb go together.” Smith thinks the war set back, by many years, what Might have been the progress of Christianity in China and The big job for missionaries now is to explain this to the heathen; Christianity, the religion of peace, is not a failure. The trouble is in the failure to live up to the teachings of Christianity.

Easy to Buy a Murder Tool A Philadelphia mail order house advertises “genuine German Ortgies automatics,” described as “nice small size, easily carried.” Any crook who wants one of these revolvers can get it secretly by mail, delivered for $7. If the crook buys a gun in his home town, usually the sale has to be registered with the police. Murders, burglaries and hold-ups would be cut down by a law prohibiting the retailing of revolvers by parcel post or express. Why not stop private sale altogether—sell only to police and army, thus disarming the underworld? Here is a fortune. Get up something to take rouge off coats, One day we saw a horse.
