The engineers asserted that the revenue board made a refund of S3.996.08l) to the company and fail ed to collect additional taxes of I594.J05. A. H. Fay. a committee engineer, testified that the Gulf Oil com pany's case was niHhed through the bureau and closed within sev en Working days because Mr. Mel lon desired to have all outsido, in terest with which he was connect ed closed before he took office in March. 1921.

CHICAGO. Dec. 10. Th Ameri can Farm Hurra u Federation has chosen as Ua new president S. H. Thompson of Quinry, III., a leader of the forces advocating a federal export corporation and a critic of President Coolldpe'g agricultural speech made hore Inst Monday. The convention also passed a rcHoIutlon favoring the enactment of a federal law based on the farmorn export corporation princi ple. This resolution, the last on a lint of 37, was the first to bo pasa ed after Mr. ThompHonH election had dnfi away with prospects of a strenuous ficht on the subject. r. A. McNeil, of Montgomery, Ala., was re-elected vice president and a new board of directors waa named In a session lasting into the early morning hours. Mr. Thomp son, who for the last three years has been president of the Illinois farmers organization, defeated C. R. Uradfute of Xenla, Ohio, who hftd occupied the position for three years. The new president's term will be for two years at nn annual HRlHry of 12.5O0. voeated by the organization Is ; similar to the McNary llaugen mea- j sure, rejected by congress. HOT STUFF. (AaaorUid Fmi Leased Wirt.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. The Rev. James Shwra Mont gomery, chaplain of the house, addressing the convention of the American Grocery Special ty Manufacturers' Association here, Interpreted the controv ersy between modernists and fundamentalists in en even dozen words. He said: "Modernists say 'there ain't no hell Funda mentalists say 4the bell there ain't.'" form organizations has addressed the president with their complaint as to the attitude of the ad mini a tiafion on prohibition enforcement They gay the law Is a "joke," a "national scandal," and even go so far as to etate that the "president never yet has definitely and unre servedly committed bis administra tion to the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment as provided by his oath of office," There Is little that is helpful or constructive in such criticism as this. It makes no specific charge, it suggests no solution. It degenerates Into mere scolding. This disclaimer of such leaders as Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president of the W. C. T. TJ.: Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of the Methodist board; Oliver W. Stewart, of the flying squadron, and Edwin C. Itfuwiddie, of the Good Templars, shows that this denunciation does not meet with the approval of many who are most earnest In their desire for prohibi tion enforcement If dry law advocates expected perfect enforcement of the law in one year, ten years or a hundred years after its passage, they were deplorably ignorant of human na ture and of history. Hammurabi, kin? of Babylonia 4000 years ago, codified the laws then in force, many of them no doubt already hoary with age. Along with others that find their counterpart in mo dern statutes and vigorous enact ments against murder. The Mos aic code puts it bluntly "Thou shalt not kill," yet after 40m) years or am-mpted enforcement by men of every race, age and culture, we find the United States, the most progressive people In the world, struggling unsuccessfully with the task of enforcing laws against this primitive crime. The law is evi dently a failure. The proof is to be found in the fact that 11.000 per sons were killed by violence in this country In 1921. Another blunder of Moses' was the restriction "Thou shalt not steal." It cost the United States last vear. according to official es timate, $3,820,000,000 the amount lost bv the operations of criminals. The suggestion that a bill will be presented to Congress repealing the Volstead act comes on the same day that we read of Russia's dismay at the result of her return to 40 per cent vodka. Within a week thev are beginning to consid er how they may restrain the wild boast thev have unchained. If the United States counts Its murders by the ten thousands and its loss by robberies In billions now, what would It be with liquor adding its inflammatory influence; The prohibition law Is new; Its ma chinery has yet to be developed, but It has not failed, and will not fail. It must not be permitted to How About You? Do Your CHRISTMAS SHOPPING NOW! Your Selection Can Be Easily Made at it?!

X State Press Comment p ERNEST WAGNER & CO. i : 163 WEST 29m STREET. NEW YORK, N. Y. Costly Carelessness. ' ! Carelessness In the United ! Staes cost sixty-seven million dol- ; lars from fires last year, according to figures compiled by insurance ; experts. In 14 states the chief , cause of fires was matches and , .tmoklng. and In 17 others it was ; defective flues, furnaces and pipes. Versons handling matches or topping away stubs or dottle know ; that there Is not more than one , chance In a million of causing a I fire. Hut the knowledge that the ' one exception may cause the loss of home or life does not make them carWul. ! Contractors and bonsebuilders. i confronted with the Information that fault v construction cost' 3!) million dollars last year continue to build carelessly. They know that a flue, one brick thick, may easily become defective and causae fire, and that rafters, walls, or floors too close lo chimneys ore likely to Ignite, yet they continue to erect flimsy buildings that even tunlly hecomo firelraps. '1 he solution of the construction problem li'S within the power of nome owners and home buyers. They have only to refuse to buy houses which are defective In cen- si ruction. Such action would quickly cause a revolution of house instruction. For If builders dis covered that llu're was no market for flimsy build incs they would comply with demands. There is no such remedy, how ever, for careless handling of mat- dies. These necessities cannot ho prohibited, and their use cannot be regulated. Public opinion, how ever, csn bring a reduction of lite loss from Kiuh sources. 1 Hiring the Influenza epidemic persons who nneeett or coughed without covering the nosp with a handker chief met scowls nud frowns. The same treatment for careless hand lers of matches might help check fire losses. I When public opinion concerning : carelessly caused fire does become crystallized, the UniHd States will cease to lead the worf In fire los ses. Hut until that time rcms householders will insure their homes and live . In dread. Port land Journal of Commerce. 1 CHRISTMAS AGAIN Once again we will wrap your Xmas pack ages free for mailing.
