MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, ted to Be use for repabit. Paper: Pind aloe ther fo NOT LIKE OTHER LAWS. N his Fourth of July speech at Marion, O., President Harding said: “The Eighteenth Amendment dentes to a ' minority a fancied sense of personal Mberty, but the amendment is the will of America and must be sustained by the Government and the public opinion, else contempt for the law will undermine our very foundations.” Would the President’ maintain that our foun- dations are secure so long as a law is obeyed, regardless of how lack of respect for that law or its enforcement may be undermining confi- dence that the Nation's laws will always have reason and justice behind them? Does the President see no danger to our foun- dations in a law so unique in its failure to justify itself among citizens of unimpeachable charac- ter and standing? “Reason,” declared Sir Edward Coke, “is the fife of law; nay, the common lav itself is noth-. ing else but reason.” In the whole history of the United States few laws have ever been looked upon by reason with stronger doubt and misgiving than has present Prohibition law. Again the President is on weak ground when he talks of “a fancied sense of personal liberty.” Is personal liberty, then, always “fancied” for those from whom organized fanaticism has taken it away? Do our foundations rest upon the theory that personal liberty can be defined by people whose purpose in life is to make the conduct of others conform to their own? It’s a poor argument the President of the NING WORLD, Remit by Bx —= Bids. Avenue de l'Opers, city. Now is the time to apply for the abandoned flying field as an addition to Rils Park, The city should not delay the application. Better for the city to gain title to the land and use it for park purposes than to have the tract built up after private purchase. If the city owned the property as a park it would still be available for quick development as an aviation field in the unlikely event that the United States should ever need air defense for New York. ‘That “mansion for New York Mayors” turnod into @ castle in the alr. THE “PROTECTING” BEGINS. HE Department of Labor announces ‘that re- fj tail prices of food products increased 3 per cent. in New York City in the period from May 15 to June 15 This was as large an increase as in any city reporting, but the same trend prevailed in eighteen out of twenty-two cities. The conclusion is that living costs are rising. For the same month a year ago prices declined in nineteen of the twenty-two cities. How do: the tariff makers at Washington ex- plain such figures? Dare they deny that “pro- tection” of profiteers is largely responsible? The tariff is not yet in effect, but dealers are discounting its passage. The consumers are pay- ing for the law that is to come. A rise of only 3 per cent. on the average family food budget means from $30 to $50 a year. That is the advance price the consumer must pay for the “protection” of profiteering. The German mark was at Its lowest yesterday, unless it is lower to-day. A BAD EXAMPLE. A BROOKLYN Judge sentenced a burglar to ten years’ imprisonment, with the proviso that the prisoner may be released after five years, provided he will get out of New York State and stay out. This sort of sentence is common enough in ' rural communities. Country Justices save the expense of boarding prisoners by “running them out of town,” It is a practice against which the cities have protested, and with good reason. It is strange to find the same thing here. New York ought to be above a policy of mov- ing undesirable citizens on to our neighbors. Either a prisoner deserves punishment or he does not. If he does, New York ought to foot the bill for the punishment instead of foisting him on the neighbors. New York ought not to set such a bad From Evening W orld Readers OFT Uttle hands that stray and iS clutch, IAke fern-Jronds ourl and wnowrt bold, While baby faces He in such Close sleep as flowers at night that fold, What ts it you would clasp and hold, Wandering outstretched with willful towchP - O fingers small of shell-tipped rose, How should you know you hold se much?

In Elliot Paul's ‘‘Indelible’ (Hough- ton-Mifflin) are found these examples of the new terseness of the modern novelist: Flowers in the Stoddard yard are mixed with ferns, and look happler than flowers in squares and oblongs. Sinners are always easy tg get along with. Being in love interferes with me from A to Z. Most women and girls cry at the drop of a hat. Smoking, drinking and card-playing are sins as well as the Ten Command- ments, An affalr differs front an occasion on account of the music, and often dancing as, well. It's all right when, as in Mr. Paul's case, the writer has a’ story in which, to plant his epigrams. ow Reflections of Rathenau, - - « In his book “In Days to Come’ (Knopf) the late Walter Rathen: German Foreign Minister, wrote thése lines: Man ofXearlier days poured his @ energy and his love Into his work Within a narrow circle @e hi most intimate associates, his own people, whom he cherished; somes what more remote were the com- rades to whom he was leal; at a much greater distance were the ene- mies, those with whom he fought. The man of to-day does not ti for the sake of a thing. He strive for the neutral good of possesstor for the incorporeal notion of @ & relative but indefinitely extensible sphere of influence. ’ The content of his life is not the affair upon which he is actually engaged, which becomes no more than means to an end; what cons cerns him is his career. He must hew out his career for himself through human — walls, Whithersoever he looks, wherever he would fain set his foot, there stands another, and that other is his enemy. And for Rathenau, where nobody. | peecereerecessreras’ UNCOMMON SENSE jc sist sar t 4 S Sassination, i United States makes for suppressing feason in | example.
