The acts legislated against are all matters of appetite. They are grounded in human nature. To control them interferes with the liberty of the individual. The changes necessary to cure the situation completely necessitate changes in habits and customs, even in human nature. For sucti-radical changes decades are In the various stages of evolution conditions far from ideal will be present.

In each instance a fair amount of argument for the old order can be sustained. That gradual growth of Individual and community character upon which improvement in law and in the observance thereof rests is a thing few of us understand and with 'which few of us are patient. And meanwhile the enemies of society mint this discontent, as well as baser metals, into the coinage they want. THE IMPORTANT NEWS. A few days ago Charlie Chaplin was reported aS saying that he did not know when be and Po la Is5'egri could get married.

lie was too poor. It was a working world- One should not think too much of sentiment- The remark was carried to the lady most interested. With a broken heart 1 1 she decided that the famous but impoverished comic genius, down to his last $10,000,000. 'should I be released from his vows. With sobs she canned him.

It required an eight column streamer in the early and home editions of Tins Tatsmas to meet i the Importance of this decision. The German 1 embassy was declaring that there might be war tin the Ruhr. The Czechs were to pay the I 1000,000 they owe the United States. The rural I credit bill was being passed. Ambassador Iiarvey had made another speech.

The real goods on the news counter was that rola bad given Charlie his letters back and was going out lu the dark alone with her hand pressed over her eyes. Meanwhile Charlie bad not been idle. Pola was persuaded that it was all a mistake and that the picture had to have a happy ending, the clutch in the purple moon light under a palm, with a ship sailing out to sea. It was a period of great national stress, but by the final edition the Czechs were given the eight column bead and the recon- oiled rola and Charles had a six column head beneath them. After all, $100,000,000 is money, and money is popular.

We make the world interesting for democracy. It may never be safe but it ought to be interest-lag. Other days are gone forever. The old gentleman reading in the Boston Transcript what Campbell-Bannerman sag has been succeeded by a thousand readers reading what Jack Dempsey said and what Mary Pick-ford said. Demos is recreating the days of demi-gods.

Excavators who find fragments of our history may conclude that Charles was a legendary hero and Pola a queen of people who worshiped Just now, with democracy getting what it wants, It Is pretty soft for the press Our Country!

0 Jan. 16, 1919, the constitution of the United States was amended so as to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. This constitutional measure became effective on Jan. 16, 1920. Prior to that time some states and cities had sought to accomplish the same end by such laws as were possible.

Some of these measures had been more or less in force for thirty to fifty years. The national government, as a war measure. had placed some restrictions on the traffic in alcoholic beverages two or three years before the passage of the eighteenth amendment. There were some who expected that both the letter and spirit of the eighteenth amendment would be immediately, and that the physical, moral, social and economic -effects due to the use of alcobolic beverages would be immediately discontinued. At the end three years this result admittedly has not been obtained.

The old time saloon has been eliminated, but the illegal manufacture and traffic in alcoholic beverages has been increased. Some make the claim that the eighteenth amendment and its interpretation, commonly known as the Volstead Jaw, have accomplished nothing. While the saloons have been eliminated, the blind tiger and the illicit traffic are a worse evil. There are those who claim that the use of moonshine whisky and home brew beer is doing more harm than the former use of the legal stuff, because It is so much more poisonous. There are those who say that all such legislation is a restriction of liberty, that the spirit of the American govertment is the fullest liberty for the individual, even though it be recognIzed that he will exercise his liberty to hurt both himself and the community.

There are those who say that the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act breed discontent, cause foreign labor to shun cause lawlessness and lack of respect for law that when it comes to a matter of food and drink no law can be operative. Some of these people back up their speculations as to economic, sociologic, and psychologic matters by pointing to existing conditions. They say the ideal has not been attained and conditions are bad. Many of them throw the weight on the side of lawlessness and disorder. In so far as this measure is concerned, the tide of anarchy reaches into levels of society that are ordinarily solid for the existing order.

writes: In your column rece ntly Miss H. writes regarding bicarbonate of soda, and you reply that the soda is more harmful than the fat which she is trying to lose by taking the soda, I have been taking soda for a good many years for g-as in my stomach. as many as four or five times a day, and several doctors, especially two of our leading doctors, one a stomach expert have advised taking it. Will you please tell me how, in your opinion, soda is harmful?" REPLY. It stimulates the stomach to form an excessive amount of acid.

Thus, while it relieves aeidity temporarily it fixes the ymptom. making it a habit, which habit in turn berets the soda habit. The first mason. then is it upsets the stomach. It upsets the mineral balance of the body.

It disturbs the balance between add and alkali of the body. We need a certain amount of sods. If we take too much, the body is robbed of acid needed to neutralize the soda. If this did not happen. the alkalinity would be increased and the individual would die quickly.

Many people take a single dose of soda with advantage. Some need it rather frequently. Some are harmed by it.

4:1 DO IT 0 1' EVEN TEST THE LAW. Chicago, March your editorial in this morning's TRIBUNE. I beg to say our position is very plain. that under the law both professional and amateur boxing is illegal. In your sporting column you invited persons to send their views to Tilt TstatIvris as to whether or not they favored or opposed boxing as proposed by the Tribune Athletic association.

I beg to say I wrote a letter to Tim TrunuNa under date of Feb. 27 and so far it has not been published nor any part thereof, as far as 1.0 have seen. In your editorial this morning yoU say your position is not to break the law but to test it. In testing the law you are breaking the law and encouraging the breaking of law. You take the same position that the bootlegger does, that the gambler does.

and that every other law breaker does In Chicago. Knowing how diflicult it is in Chicago to have the law upheld by the police department and the mayor of this city you ought to be on the side of law enforcement. ARTHUR BURRAGE FARWELL. CLEAN BEFORE EATING. Ambassador Harvey in his recent speech on the ritisla debt said that the United States did not mtend to destroy French credit by cancelling the Vrench debt.

The United States Is resolved to sustain French credit by negotiating with her, as tN as done successfully with the British, for the tefunding and payment of the debt It Is time to ask the French government if this solicitude for French credit prevails in Parts as It prevails in Washington. We imagine It does and that France, although by in the Ruhr, will welcome an opportunity to avow responsibMty and to negotiate. The negotiations may cover the tilt-staffer of French West Indies and French Olnadian coast islands as an offset to part of the money payments If France desires to t3ave some of the cash. In any case we should avoid affronting France by assuming that she does not want to be approached as Great Britain was approached and does not Intend to do as ezecho-Slovakia Is doing. LOONY LEGISLATURES.

The house of representatives of the South Carolina legislature has passed a bill prohibiting the playing of billiards or pool at any time anywhere in the state. Evidently a game In a citizen's home would be made illegal. 'Utah has prohibited smoking In public and citizens are being arrested. One house of the Oklahoma assembly has passed a bill prohibiting mention of evolution In state text books. One house of the Wisconsin legislature abolishes the National Guard.

Then there are the Illinois boring laArs---all locoed legislation. Poolreoms sometimes are a public nuisance in Chicago, not because the ganae is vicious. but because boys and men are gregarious and the poolroom is a place to gather. An Idle gang can get some bad ideas and act on them, and some police activities are caused by this gregariousness. Gangs can gather also in cigar stores or in the alley.

Some reformer finds boys smoking and using vicious language In a poolrocrrn and the playing of pool and billiards everywhere must be stopped. This is the true dementia Americana. We'll admit there Is less to be said for pool than there is for boxing, but if the boys are chased out of places where they can play pool they'll go to bowling alleys, and then, by the prohibitive line of reasoning, all bowling must be stopped. They'll go to the dance halls, again more deleterious than the-ball with a squared ring In It, and all dancing must be stopped. What we need i3 a bill to amend human nature.

S. Commodore tonight, or will if the bputs are not Ile should be advised that this is unruly. I3efore the Washington conference reached an agreement for naval limitation there were Americans who urged that the United states should thrill the world by Finking its own ships whether any other nation maintained a navy or not, thus really proving that it was too proud to fight. The suggestion failed, but in a different faFhion it can be renewed. The men on the ships can be too proud to fight and can be taught that 'it immoral to fire a fifteen inch gun even if one is fired at you.

If young men are taught to hit things with fifteen inch guns their character will rapidly deteriorate and in the course of time they will think nothing of hitting each other with five ounce gloves. If Capt. Evers wants to entertain the sailors and Fo Idlers on the Commodore we recommend to him progratn of stereopticon views of travel in the Yellowstone park. a lecture on our native flowers, and wind up with some brisk parlor games and lemonade and cakes.

Without any of these reliefs the container might explode. If there were an attractive part of the globe available for Asiatics, emigration might be a sufficient outlet but we imagine that the welcome which is extended now by Brazil would be withdrawn or blocked elsewhere if that country were in danger of becoming an Asiatic The countries which have barred Asiatic immigration would be extinguished by it quite as thoroughly as they might be extinguished by Asiatic armies. If Asiatics were free to come to our; Pacific coast they probably would drive the white man back of the Rocky mountains He has more chance against military invaders than against immigrants from Asia. Whites everlywhere in attractive lands prefer to take their chances in war with an exploding Asia than with policies which would permit the Asiatic peacefully to enter the country and crowd the whites out by his fortitude, thrift, industry, frugality, patience and high birth rate. Famine and disease are cures which the benevolent occidental combats in Asia as soon as they begin their work.

Great employers of labor such as the steel mills and other large Industries, who have been busily lobbying in Washington and promoting propaganda for the relaxation of our present immigration restrictions, would do well to look over the btatistical record of growth of population in the United States.

They and the congressmen whom they have won to their way of thinking might be hiartied to learn that even at our present rate of increase this country will have a population of 150.000,0e0 persons by 1950. From 1500 to 1900 our population grew from 5,000,000 to 76,000,000. At the last census It was, roughly. 110,000,000. The rate of Increase from 1910 to 1920 was 15 per cent, despite the influenza epidemics, the war losses, and six year virtually without immigration.

Even at this low rate, competent authorities estimate we will have 150.000,000 in less than thirty years, and a population equal to that of Chtna in a hundred years. Scientific estimates Indicate that we will have from 175.000.000 to 190.000,000 by the end of this century at the present rate of Increase, which allows for no relaxation of immigration restrictions. These figures are beyond the limit of population which this country can feed at Its present rate of production. They can be maintained only by more intensive farming and by the reclamation of lands now waste. Both developments are possible, and even probable, but they will not come about to any great extent until higher prices for food make them profitable.

The point Is that we are already headed rapidly toward a point, of saturation of population without increased immigration. When we have reached that saturation point we must become a homogeneous nation. We must also face the necessity of not going beyond It lest we starve, or hex-Ame an industrial nation, like England, living largely on imported food. But other lands at the same time will face a similar situation. From where, then, could we import food? Probably by that time the only Way out will be to avoid further Increase In population by birth control, wars.

By defeating Mayor Thompson's candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor. Chicago has snuffed out the last chance, for continuance of the Lundin-Ilearst machine In power.

The end was forecast when Thompson took himself out of the raze, leaving to a subWtute the unequal battle with the candidate agreed upon by the three Republican opposed to him. The victory, however, was surprisingly, large, the anti-Thompson candidate polling three votes to his opponenrs two. Chicago voters are now' to choose between a Republican and a Democrat. each of whom has an excellent reputation. Why Thompson should have fallen this tithe is as much of a mystery as why he did not fall four years ago.

It In easy to make a list of causes, but these causes have been operating during his entire eight years as mayor. The whole country will rejoice with Chicago Over 'ass belated triumph, which is not less gratifying because it includes the overthrow of an important Hearst stronghold.
