| PAGE LO Newspaper Ene terprise Ansa, and United Press Berrios, Gilman, Nicoll & Ruthman, 6) Bt; Chto The Prohibition Question ‘Bes tone of discussion as to prohibition ' of late indica that we are getting away from the bitter partisanship that has colored the argument between Wets and Drys for so long. The time may not be far distant when this tremendous experiment in govern ment may be discussed dispassionately. Only when the problem can be handled scientifically, rather than politically, will it be solved satisfactorily. | If it is approached scientifically, the | question will be: What is the truth about | prohibition? | When ge get down to facts the prohibi- tionists have a big advantage in the fact that the eighteenth amendment was legally adopted and the Volstead act was legally and constitutionally enacted. Their advantage is reinforced by the opinion, or superstition, that the best. way to kill a bad law is to enforce it. But even if there be conflicting opinions as to that, it is true that every officer of the law, from the president on down, takes oath when he takes office to enforce the law. It makes no difference whether he likes the law or not. Those opposed to prohibition will have to prove their case. They will have to con- vince a big majority of the people, first, that the Volstead act is a bad law, and wfter that that the eighteenth amendment should be stricken from the constitution. To prove their case they will have to prove it by facts. Propaganda either by professional wets or professional drys will not be convincing. It will be taken as prejudiced and partisan, like much of the political argument when the republicans and democrats are fighting for control of the government—and the offices. : If it were possible for an impartial body of scientists, including physiologists, ps chologists and professors of law and gov- ernment, to conduct a survey of the entire problem and get at the facts, some atten- | tion might be given to their report and con- | clusions. Politics won't solve the problem. ence may! She Does! She Does! EFENDING a Chicago lady who hit her husband with a stove-lid because he reflected upon her biscuits, Mrs. Walter Ferguson writes: “Don't the men have failures in their work, also? But who ever heard a good wife sit up and call attention to them?” Millions have heard such, Mrs. Fergu- son! Millions, and millions unborn will hear it! Moreover, may the Omnipotent and Omniscient preserve the criticism of the good wife. Of course, the nagging, fault-finding wife is not a good wife, but the husband who, in time of failure, can- not get hope, help and comfort from the criticism of a genuinely good wife is as forsaken as a lapdog without fleas enough to remind him that he is a dog. And heaven be kind to the husband whose good wife has a criticism and doesn’t let it out, stove-lids barred. Sci- A Judge Who Was a Tramp HE noblest study of mankind is a man’s study of himself. Next comes his study of his fellows. But a life philos- ophy founded wholly upon study of oneself is pretty certain to be circumscribed. It takes the study of others to round out the true philosophy. Tired of reading the daily record of crime and moral decadence, tired of the monotony of lawyers’ quarrels, tired of the stuffiness of the court room, Judge Dud- Jey Kinsell resigned from the superior court bench, in Alameda county, California, five months ago. He let his beard grow, put on his shabbiest suit of clothes, and PP Answers to Y Q What is the postage rate for tir mail? ‘A. Eight cents per ounce for each| | | ‘OU can get onc.

A stranger to both high and humble, he got a view of the average man, and it is upon such average that a people and civilization itself must be estimated. Upon his return to his fireside Judge Kin- sell says: “Life is good; life is kindly. The world is great and its people are good people. There are more idlers in the cities of this country than anywhere else. The youth | of the land insists upon congr ing in the towns and it is there that crime is born.” Verily, the world and its doings are not to be judged by what appears in one’s own little field of vision, Back of the crimes accidents, scandals that are within range of vision is a great mass that is good. S with some reason, A Missouri editor | has announced, “semi-officially,”” a term used by the Missouri editor when rather | expecting to be lynched as a super-liar, that St. Peter is not asking the applicant about his church-going or prayers, but as Why Some Folks Worry ’. LOUIS folks are greatly excited, and to what kind of income tax returns he made out. You see, the St. Louisans expect St. Peter to detour them to the lower stratum of eternal society, or send them back to make out their tax returns anew, and, there not being any blissful choice between {| the two fates, they're much disturbed. The Curtain Drawn | N ACCORDANCE with an order adopted by three of the five members of the federal trade commission, secrecy will henceforth be maintained in regard to the | greater part of the commission's activitie: The commission will abandon its prac- tice of permitting publication of complaints | that are filed with. it, unless such com- plaints ultimately lead to formal action against the companies or individuals accused of malpractice. If, as is frequently the case, the com- mission finds that a company is practic- ing deceit or unfair business methods, and the company agrees to quit such practice, no publicity will be permitted. This will remove all commercial con- cerns well out of* the danger zone of unfavorable newspaper mention of their misdoings. If caught “with the goods” | they have only to agree to stop commit- ting whatever crime they: have been prac- | ticing, and the matter is ended, all in | secret. Another harmful outgrowth of the new order is that it absolutely stifles the voice | of the commission's minority members. Heretofore, when the majorit voted against issuance of a complaint, the minor- ity had the privilege of making public | their dissenting views. Frequently this | prospect influenced the judgment of the | majority, who did not relish public inspec- | tion of their acts. | It was as an outgrowth of the right of the minority to publish its views that the | famous “Pittsburg plus” steel rate inves- | tigation was finally made, with the result | that discriminatory practices of nation- | | | | wide importance were ordered abandoned. The three members of the commission who voted for secrecy are Chairman Van Fleet and Commissioners Hunt and Hum- phries. Former Chairman Huston Thomp- | son voted “No.” The fifth member, Com- | missioner Nugent, was absent, but would | have voted with Thompson had he been present. our Questions ? ? | — Mi Bohemia, a province of Czecho. an answer to| | giovahia.
