Neither real estate nor stocks can long remain at a price so high that they can not earn at least a fair rate of interest for the o-a-ners. Back in 1919 when the land boom was at its peak in Iowa farms were bought on the theory that they could be sold at a profit simply because there would be somebody else willing to pay more. But in the end someone had to "hold the Back." the land would not produce enough revenue to pay a fair rate of interest on the inflated price.

Funk, in Des Monies Register. There are reasons and reasons why prohibition enforcement is more or less disappointing to friends and encouraging to enemies. The huge profits of illicit traffic is most alluring to men unscrupulous in their getting. Large sums avaiiabie for bribery tend to break down the moral fibre of many officials working- on meager salaries. The government release of intoxicants for alleged legitimate uses is far in excess of legitimate requirement.

The difficulty in damning the Canadian border against a flood of liquors outlawed in the United States is serious, and there are other sources of embarrassment. All these abuses combined, however, do not constitute the chief difficulty in the way of more successful enforcement. It comes from sources classifying as eminently respectable. Current literature is saturated with liquor propaganda. The writers of fiction seem to think they are missing something if they construct a page of copy which does not feature social Rum parties are made popular.

The cocktail, the highball, the flask and the decanter are exploited as necessary accessories of social intercourse. Characters introduced are made to scorn all enforcement endeavor and to magnify the glorious privilege of defying the constitution of the United States. With rare exception the metropolitan newspapers seem to make it their chief concern to give aid and comfort to the en- eniies of this "nobie experiment." If, perchance, the editors are disposed to be loyal to the law and helpful to its enforcement the news columns give the cause the- worst of it by unfair treatment in writing and exploitation and the funry man tries to be funniest in the encouragement of drinking demoralization. Solemn sages assuming to speak for education and ctslnsre denounce prohibition as inimical to progress and subversive of human rights. Weil might the lamented Judge Zeuch feelingly refer "to the lack of encouragement afforded by "the mass of temperate drinkers." Perhaps at no time in the past has the use of intoxicants been so comir at the private social board.

More than ever before it seems now to be considered necessary to send 'round the wine in order to keep up with the ranking Joneses. This convivial custom is practiced by people who assume to be law- abiding, many if not most of whom are duly registered upon the roster of Christian church membership. Most of these social workers of iniquity and promoters of anarchy express concent over the liquor question. Of course they are against the saloon which will extend to others the privilege legally to purchase what they themselves illegally obtain. They merely sist that they be afforded some more ladylike system which will permit people of their class to buy better liquor for less money extending the privilege to those who must, if they drink at all, buy in small quantities.

Within ninety days prohibition would be an amazing success if these influences recognized as eminently respectable would merely give it a chance. It would be an easy matter to overcome the venality of Canada and the machinations of the hi-jocker, the bootlegger and the speak easy. These are merely the logical products of literary debauchery, social iniquity and personal delinquency. They are not supported by the fanners, the wage earners or the booze fighters. They would quickly cease from troubling if deprived of substantial social support- In this country prohibition is no longer a political issue.

No political dares to go on record against it. Every congressional proposal to repeal or to modify is heavily lost by the votes of men who dare not if they would misrepresent overwhelming public sentiment. The exercise of expedients by way of compromise with liquor promotes controversv and invites failure. The way to the banish- merit of controversy and the promotion of tranquility is through prohibition. This principle and this policy must inevitably prevail, the hour 01 triumph depending- upon the moral attitude and social practices of the eminently respectable classes which are now the chief support of rum runners and bootleggers.

Fall and others who implicated with him in the oil scandals, should be a aluable object lesson to the people of this country.

PaH is a. man who at ne time had all the material good things that life has to offer--enough wealth for comfort, a high place of trust in our government and the respect of a large following of friends. But greed for more wealth got hold of him and caused him to sacrifice his sense of honor, the greatest thing a can poeKse. Vac hundred thousand dollars he betrayed the trust placed ia frfr" by his government. He risked all and This is rather a cynical age in which the old fashioned standards of ffldfaoEf sod soEial asfl public conduct are being questioned, The misfortune at this man should impress upon the coming generation that there is something to these old fashioned notions of honor and honesty after all.

The convictioa of Fall has already done much to restore confidence in law and justice. It is surprising how many people hold a notion that a man in high office can commit a crime and escape punishment and this ittltud? on the part of the public accounts for a great deal of the disrespect for law which is one of the grave conditions in our country today. A few more convictions would do no harm. Press Comment Sunday movies are development of the times, just as short skirts, eioret smoking by ladies and a lot of such things are. The reason we have Sunday movies is because people want them.

If the people did not patronize them there wouldn't be any. Now, it's Sunday talkies. People learn to do certain on Sunday and not to do other things. It depends on the raising, so to speak. We well remember when we thought that a game of cards on Sunday was just the same as sitting down and fee, dssJL We were allowed to play checkers but not Big or Little Casino.

We could play hide and seek oat doers but not town ban. Beosmber, town ball? You crossed 'SSL cast, in that. Hide and seek was a quirt game, gecermiiy Bpeakmg. You had to be quiet, or you would be found out Town baa required lot of yelling. Yelling on Sunday wasn't in good favor in ow youthful days.

We don't just know whether a town wins or loses prestige by virtue of Sunday movies. Most of that talk is beside the point We have movies in Spencer because the people want them. That they axe popular no one will deny. Plenty of tunes the people stand up in line sod wait to get in. Those who don't care to go on Sunday can see the same show on Monday.

The Iowa senator has been criticized for "tattling" on his senatorial colleagues who attended the party.

Brookhart seems to possess moral courage all too rare among statesmen. He is not afraid of being called a sissy, tartletale or anything else, if principle is at stake. Joe Grundy, wealthy Pennsyvania asanufactiirer, says the middle west is the backward section of the country. The old saying "Go west, young man," no longer holds according to Grundy. Now comes Senator Reed, disciple of Grundy, with a statement that certain western senators are doing more harm to industry now than all the communists put together.

This was not very soothing to farm senators who are trying to help industry by building up farm prosperity. The omission of Senator Johnson from the white house invitation list at a recent dinner given to the foreign relations committee, created a great furor in' official Washington, until it was explained that it was "accidental."
