WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. He MING WORLD prints to-day a striking article by Senator Borah on the present pyramiding of Government expenditures. Every taxpayer in the United States should tead this article not only for the facts it pre- sents but for the practical advice it offers as to action. Though the annual report on appropriations this year dissloses “what appears to be a sub- stantial step in the direction of economy and cur- tailment,” Senator Borah points out that “noth- ing is said in this report about the fact that there are now pending the Congress—already passed by one of the branches of Congress—bills which would not only offset in the way of ex- penditures the amount saved but would offset it not only thousands but millions of times.” in “In 1916, the year before we entered the war but the year in which started the large naval building programme, our budget was about $1,115,004,194. Four years after the war our budget is about $3,500,000,000, with an estimated deficit of from $500,000,000 to $750,000,000. It is now seriously put forth to the country that we are reducing expenditures, although we know a part of the programme now arranged for ts to add to this budget of about $4,000,000,000 a $4,000,000,000 indebtedness of a permanent nature. Such things make the claim of economy a sham and a fraud.” What are taxpayers to do about it? 4 Organize, is Senator Borah’s answer. Organ- ize all over the country in tax clubs and associa- tions to bring the demand for economy home to individual legislators and candidates and thus defeat specific measures that mean extravagance and waste. » Sound advice.

HIRFE Justices of the Federal Court of Ap peals have reversed Hederal Judge Page and have accorded to the Railroad Labor Board the right publicly to criticise the labor policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In the light of lay interpretation of the legisla- tion creating the Railroad Labor Board, this re- versa] seems to be an improved interpretation of the ie The Railroad Labor Board has no punitive powers to enforce its decrees. The design of the law is that the board must. depend on the pres- sure of an informed public opinion. In all rea- son, how can the Labor Board be expected to rally public opinion without the right to criticise with the broadest publicity? The pity is that this decision came a month late Had not the Labor Board been hampered by Judge Page's injunction, it might have been able to prevent the present strike It might have been able to inform President Harding that railroads were locking out shop- men after contracting for repairs. President Harding might even have called troops to open the shops and permit men to work. Will Allan Ryan's creditors attempt to recover from Commissioner Enright that $12,000 profit from Morton Pete? NO BAIL TOO HIGH. USTICE MORSCHAUSER, sitting at White Plains, held a pickpocket in $20,000 bail. This is probably a record for this sort of case— a good record: Is $20,000 bail excessive? Not at all. The pickpocket's police history submitted to the court showeg, two aliases twenty-one arrests, nine convictions, two cases pending. Is $20,000 bail too high? No, nor $200,000. Refusal of bail would not violate the spirit of the law. If there is anything wrong with the judicial system, it lies in the fact that this pickpocket was at liberty. Before a criminal has opportunity for nine convictions he should be locked up permanently as a habitual offender and a menace to society. Bail is intended as a protection to society. With confirmed repeaters, the only effective bail is bail so high as to keep the offender in jail. Senator Culberson of Texas holds the record for voting without talking.

These water worshippers have discovered a new trump card, a kind of joker, which they are trying to play whenever they get a chance. It is embodied in the cute idea that Prohibition is being discredited by al- most every one at the present time. They are right to the fullest extent because there are many excellent reasons for disbelleving in it. At the start, It may be well to say that the foremost of these reasons is that Prohibition has spoiled its good name, if it ever had any. It is now 80 much disliked that {ts enforcement or any other way of regulating the people's habits with regard to drink will only meet with dismal fatlure in the future. An experiment similar to Prohibi- tion was tried In England before the Wesleyan revival and happily turned out to be a miserable affair. ‘In 1736 an act was passed to check the alarm- ing increase in gin drinking among the lower class.’’ Smuggling and eva- sion were so rampant that {ts princl- ples were practically discarded ren years after the passage of the Later on, however, regulation of t traffic was attempted, and even this was able to remedy the so-called evil to only @ small extent, With us, though, Prohibition will be a repeti- tion of history on a much larger scale. Asa creator of crime it has brought about many deaths through the drink- ing of wood alcohol and the so-called unfair distribution of bootleggers’ spoil, It has also been responsible for an increase of graft and profiteering throughout the country, as well as for giving otherwise respectable people an opportunity to make fabulous sums of money out of one of the greatest mis- fortunes that ever befell our land. ‘These and many other reasons which could be cited are enough to discredit Prohibition and brand it as the night- mare of the Nation. Therefore, the sooner the Eighteenth Amendment !s wiped off the constitu- Uonal map of the United States the sooner happiness and respect for law will be restored to the people. JOHN LYNCH. Brooklyn, July 19, 1922. The Revolt Agatnat Civilization. To the Editor of The venting World: 1 read with great interest the article on Mr. Lothrop Stoddard’ ‘The Revolt Against Civilization.’ In fact I read it twice, trying to find something new, or something worth while worrying about. All [ can see Js that Mr. Stoddard is a superficial student of history. What is happen- ing in America and also in certain parts of Europe to-day has happened to Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. It is a law in nature, when the initial energy of an enterprise Is ex- OF COURSE YOU'LL NO INDEED.

Yankees, have simply deterlorated, they have lost the spirit of adventure. The life of ease has unfitted them for the respon- sibility of raising and maintaining a famiiy, and as nature abhow « vac- uum, it is replacing them with a sturdier stock of immigrants from Eu- rope. It Is only egoism—Pharasaism of the cheapest kind—that allows the effete descendant of a nkea to look down upon the immigrants of to-day. Wherein are they inferior? They have the same spirit of ad- venture, They are, on the average, at least as intelligent as those who came over on the Mayflower. The only difference I can see is_that the im- migrant of to-day comes here to better his condition. He wants lib- erty and is willing that every one else spould enjoy the same liberty, Can you honestly give the same credit to the early Yankees? They came here seeking freedom of religion, but were not willling to allow the same free- dom to the Quakers, who were and are to-day superior to any Mayflower emigrant or their descendants, Th are to-day trying to crowd the growing intelligence of modern America into the cramped brain ca\- ity of a past age. Go to our east side schools and see how hungry for education these de- spised South Europeans are, and what wonderful progress they make. I wonder If that is one of the reasons why Harvard University fears Jewish competition. It America stands for anything, it stands for liberty and equality. Democracy and aristocracy ts the hope of America, which sooner or later will lead to fraternity. Rn It is true, as Mr. Stoddard States, that one genius is worth more than gold mines, but history will prove that they mostly epring from common stock and not from hothouse culture.

Looking at the bill of fare, it gave me a shock to think that the law allows such profiteers to go on robbing the public. Sandwiches as big as an ordinary playing card 1bc., a pot of tea, one glass, 20c., milk 10c., fee cream bricks 20c., ice cream cones 10c, Then I went over to the candy counter, and there all the retail fe. sellers were selling at 10c.

NEW PLACE WHERE THEY DON'T KNOW 4 UNCOMMON SENSE By John Blake (Copyright, 1922, INTELLIGENT F by John Blake.) AULT-FINDING, It is the business of a certain part of the population to find fault with other people. It is the business of everybody to find fault with themselves. Intelligent and patient teachers and parents, employ and necessary. fault-finding, practised by ers and executives, is helpful But these people are in a very small minority. Even they are far better qualified for their unpleasant and often thankless jobs if they formed the habit of findiny faults in themselves. Progress through life is much smoother, much freer from irritating experiences, if we find our own faults and correct them before other people have to find them for us. Once egotism and self-sufficiency is set aside, this is not a difficult task, _ One of the best ways to go about it is to note the faults in others, which are always glaringly apparent, and then co compare ourselves with them same faults. It is easy to see that you ind see if we have not the r neighbor is lazy or shiftless or a responsibility dodger or something of a boaster and 1 little of a liar.
