WHAT PRICE ENFORCEMENT?
In an address before the Citizen Service Association of Washington Assistant Attorney General Renah F Camiller called paid police informers to be the lowest form of individual in law enforcement today. He referred to reporting liquor violations. The "helpful" citizens are paid **2.50** for each victim.
Obtaining money by reporting prohibition violators—bootleggers, to be exact—the police, is the most disgraceful and vicious practice in America today. It violates all theories of Americanism and good government. When one citizen is paid money to reveal the offense of another, the citizen within the law is a miscreant of the lowest type. When liberty and freedom are bartered, openly with public apprehension among citizens, the fundamental structure of government is torn away, and society is left to the inviolious exploitation of moral decay and physical aggrandisement.
What price law enforcement? To paraphrase, "Iis law enforcement so dear and prohibition so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?" No!-emphatically no! Nothing is so dear to the heart of American constitutional government as Liberty, Equality, and Justice. They cannot be purchased, they cannot be bartered and let our government, our institutions and ideals live! There can be no compromise with this odious practice. Its death knell must be sounded if it further stains our national pride and honor.
IT COMES TO THIS!
And now we are told that alcohol has no medical value by a no less eminent authority than Dr. John Hay, professor of medicine at the University of Liverpool, England. No more will we find old and young suffering from snake bites; no more will those "strange feelings" be exposed to physicians. What if he should think there is something really wrong and start to treat it!
It would not have seemed so bad if the statement had been made in the United States by an American doctor, but when it comes from England, the home of John Barleycorn and associates, all is over. Just a few more years and such things as lamp post conversations will rank with the stories of Greek mythology.
WHAT OF THE TARIFF?
One of the three items of President Hoover's farm relief program is an "adequate tariff" which would probably have an immediate effect upon agricultural profits. When he speaks of safeguarding the home market for the domestic producer, he presumably has in mind a group of agricultural commodities in which the country is beginning to have imports. This group includes such commodities as dairy and dairy products, oilseeds and vegetable products, hides, and skins.
Effective tariff production, which
will enable the producers of any commodity to add the amount of the tariff to the marginal cost in establishing the price, can best be applied where the commodity is produced exclusively for domestic consumption. In some of the commodities without exportable surpluses, the domestic production is so close to the border of satuiy that a tariff can hope only to maintain a reasonable price dictated by domestic supply and demand. There have as yet been no serious efforts at imports of these products. However, if the population grows, and consequently consumption increases, while no new productive factors are brought into play, it is entirely reasonable to expect some benefits to agriculture from further protection in these commodities.
SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE
Daily we are reading accounts of American citizens who have gone to Mexico and joined one side or the other in the present revolution and after being captured, claiming exemption because of their American citizenship. Both sides "depart" fighting Americans of the other side to the United States border when captured. It is unfair both to Mexico and the United States that such action should take place. If the men feel that there is a grave reason or cause for which they are fighting they should stay with their chosen side and take the consequences. If they are fighting for the fun of fighting they should be prosecuted the same as the others or turned over to the American courts at the border and dealt with the same as through their escapades were committed in this country.
We construct a halo around the soldier of fortune. He doesn't deserve it any more than the gunman, the gangster or the highwayman. He has no respect for the sacredness of human life and thrills at the sufferings of human beings. If he thought he could "get away with it" he would kill and murder, plunder and devastate wherever he went.

BRANDER MATTHEWS
A cosmopolitan and yet a new Yorker, the into Brander Matthews typified a special phase and period of his career. He has best suggested by a list of names—Howells, Warner, and Mark Twain for literature, Bronzor Howard and Lawrence Hutton for the theater, Gilder Allen for the dance, and All these are gone, and the death of Brader Matthews snaps another link with the urbane, many-faceted society that he was largely a Knickerbocker society, and Matthews—thown born in New Orleans of New England lineage—been to Manhattan as Holmes did to Houston.
Less distinguished than many of these friends, Brader Matthews was known in most of them his interest in the art of drama and its paramount; he knew French drama and wrote plays himself. He made a series of books, including "nettes of Manhattan" deserves to be kindly remembered by all the lovers of New York. In criticism he was in love with the art of dance, and anything to anything from the book note to the scholarly full-length volume. Columbia has a special debt to him. He taught me his tuition and its tuition was writed—he has seatinghythm pictured his deficiencies; he learned his years of slow growth, he became one of the most picturesque and popular members. Clubman, man of the world and the arts, he was a biographer of London circles with Andrew Lang and Austin Dobson, in Paris and in New York. Brader Matthews never gave up on his achievements; his biography he spoke with disappointment of his achievements in letters and great qualities were not great they were always important. He will remember him as an attractive and a useful figure in the city's life.
Plants Are "Heartless" Say Scientists Refuting Theory Advanced by Sir Bose
Washington—“Hearts” in plants, propelling the cap upward by rhythmic heats, are denied any real existence by several American and European plant physiologists, whose repetition of the widely held experiments of plant biology results like those claimed by the Indian scientist. “The palmatines” on plants, simply the tremors of imperfectly adjusted instruments, and when these sources of error are eliminated the apparent palmatins vanish immediately. Without these preconditions, a lamp wavy soaked in carbon dioxide will not illuminate a plant, and no steming atom of a plant. The newest attack on the Rose theories is by Dr. C. A.

Official Washington has been some what perplexed by two recent prohibition enforcement problems which have an international significance.
MORE KNOTS IN A KNOTTY PROBLEM
First there is the question of the right of foreign representatives to this country to import liquor for the sake of safety-Giving a diplomatic thrice.
PROBLEM
Being immune from the laws of affecting the possession of intoxicating liquors, foreign diplomas in Washington are exercised freely their right to apply private stock" on hand. Their liquor comes to them by way of Baltimore where it must be transported by express cargo that is where the trouble arose. The State Department served notice on the diplomats that the right extended to them was not being applied to the right to have their agents freely transport it, and ruled that to be immune a cargo of liquor must be accompanied by someone who himself had been granted such diploma gave Washington a thrill when he rode on a truck through the streets of the capital city, wearing too top silk hat and long-tail coat.

THE FOLLY OF SELF-PITY
Almost every individual, at sometime in life, conceives imaginary ideas concerning himself. There are many notions; they are notions; and they allow themselves to worry and fret over these trivialities until they become victims of self-pity. It is the latter class of animals with whom we are concerned.
It is to be hoped that President Howard's law enforcement body will be able to arrive at some plan where both the domestic and the international aspects of the response to prohibition can be improved upon. - Columbia Missouri.
These important people are dis satisfied with themselves and are continually seeking sympathy from the other group. When the fate is against them, and for this reason or some other, think the world is not worth their friends are few and far between.
TOLERANT AMERICA
Self-pity is the source of social disease. It is true that self-pity is conducive to solitude. Solitude necessities social living means helpfulness. Man lives to himself, he is a manic to society. Every moral citizen is a member of society, and as such, he must self-adaptable so as to meet its need.
"This quarter I'm going to begin studying right from the start; no dates on week nights, no cutting all week; no meals except my outside reading from day to day." This statement in some form or other is issued or proudly declared by nearly every school district. The hard grind of the last week of winter quarter. It contains the wisdom of Solomon but it will soon be supplemented after the first few weeks. . . .
Resolutions are merely a form of polite absolution for past sins of laziness; they have no bearing on the learning. They are expected to have. This quarter will go on, gone and the library will be just as overcrowded toward the middle of June as it was in the middle of March, when there was the last final in which many hope (A) to *A* they will get a C for the course they will say fondly and apparently sincerely to their parents and friends, to help them quarter I going to study right from the start of waiting until the last week; no more weekday days, no more..."
The underlying cause of self-pity is conept. However far-fetched it is, we should still understand that the cause the individual who continually feels sorry for himself is too self-pity. It is self-pity itself. It behoves such persons to pull the cormidile and stair out into the world.
THE ETERNAL PROMISE
—The Georgetonian
*Persons of Mr. Clements, Mich.,* an article which will appear in the forthcoming issue of the *Scientific Journal* of the American Society of Biological Science interested in the physiological effects of poisones, was attracted to the Rose experiments by the reported research on the "heart-action" of plants. He and his assistants built duplication of two of Doctor Rose's pieces of age 40 for the electric probe and the *phygmograph*.
Both of these instruments are supposed to register minute increases and decreases in the diameter of plant roots. They are mounted in a moke eye by deflections on the scale of a sensitive galvanometer. Doctor Personed who got wiggly-line trappings that resembled those of Doctor Boxer, who was a patient of his apparatus against vibration and electrical disturbance and refrained from walking near his plant or causing any air currents in his plant or causing current pulsations stopped completely.
These negative results agree with those of an Irish scientist, Prof. H. Hibex of the University of Dublin. He was among some time ago and also a third instrument used by Doctor Rose, called a quadrant electrometer. He was not able to detect my heart-like pulsations and rather of these pieces of apparatus.
Professor Dixon, following some preliminary work done by other experiments on the continent of Eurasia, estimated that a continuous column of water in a sealed vessel has a strength like a woven rope, resisting a breakthrough. He measured the amount of pounds per square inch. This tensile strength of water is sufficient to hold all the ropes used in trusses as through each microscale water tube in Qie qianghd had a slower steel wire strung through it. The water tube in Qie qianghd furnishes the path, according to Professor Dixon's theory, and the watercolumns themselves act as arcs to cord
Almost all plant physiologists have now accepted Professor Dixon's by law of the most the most
premises of American life. The factors that distinguish America politically and economically from other nations are: a strong sense of being able through foresight and tolerance.

Early Americans were brave enough to outfit a superior power in order to maintain a freedom of expression and a freedom of living. A group of ingenuous young Americans shaped the American identity upon democratic principles. They sought to establish a simple form of government that was impartial and free from power.
As a democratic nation, America can never afford to become intolerant. It must be open to the people, the religious, political and social rights of citizens must be respected.

HE COULD BE ELECTED
Whatever the reactions to the Transcript's suggestion that Calvin Coolidge become a candidate for the United States Senate, there is no hint, but the state senate could be elected. This is important. It is important because it shows how generally the country owes our views of Mr. Coolidge's strength with the people in his state, but of the country. For no other man the Republicans might name could such certain success be predicted, particularly in an offyear when their party faces an intense interest and drag the voters to the polls. Nor is there any dispute anywhere of the statement that Mr. Coolidge would be a great senten
Whether Mr. Collidge would consent to be a candidate is, after all beside the question at this time. It looks like it will be a difficult question. It is much too early to expect from him a definite decision one way or the other. But it is not too early to consider it. It clear that they want him in a place of such national usefulness and for which he is co-preeminent fitted. Assurance of this desire on the part of citizens of Massachusetts, Mr. Collins, we feel sure, would think twice before refusing to heed the call to vote. He has been both legislator and still a young man. Practically all of his life have been spent in the public servic

The reported coolness of the Salu's Sulu toward George Alee who was that penetrate the hero of a music video to apply a familiar moral. E. W. How paraphrased it when he said that the hero could safely criticize is a men-in-cloak shark. Writers of plays and new scenarios have encountered similar lines that would not offend sensitive national and racial groups. They have well-hightened to limit the typo for "carries," as Stage Renaissance no longer "carries kick." Even the creation of comedian Alex Hersen has been somewhat re-retired.
At any rate, the Indiana humorist's use of the Sultan and his wives as material for his production is supposed to explain the failure to arrest the Sultan. The story goes, the old ruler said he did not know Mr. Ade, meaning he did not care to meet him. It would be better to have someone never heard of the humorist or if the tale should turn out to be a pressagent's yarn. Either possibility would, of course, spoil an apt illusion, though the moral would be unaffected.
