ruoinciTioN corruption
If you wonder, now and then, why there is so much cor
ruption in the work of prohibition enforcement, read the
stories that are coming out of Detroit, where a sweeping in
vestigation of conditions along the border is in progress. A i
policeman, formerly in the federal border patrol service,
testifies. lie tells how one rum runner offered him $1000 !

a certain dock for one hour each night a week. He tell.s
of being offered a $5000 automobile and $500 in cash by
another man if he would look the other way on one night..
He tells of being offered $50,000 if he would resign, lie
says he could easily have made $150,000 in two years if he
had cared to. Such are the temptations that come in the
path of men who are paid something like $2 100 a year. Th.1
wonder is, not that there is corruption, but that it isn't uni
versal. o
HOOVKR'S WISK R FIJI ARK
It was a wise thing that Herbert Hoover told repre
sentatives of the republic of Salvador on his recent visit to
La Union. "Our international economic relations can have
but one real foundation," he said. "They can grow only out
of the prosperity of each of us. They cannot flourish in the
poverty or degeneration ot any of us. Our economic pro
gress is mutual. It is not competitive." That remark re
presents American industrialism at its best. And, at its
best that is, under wise leadership American industrial
ism can prove a tremendous force for good in this world.
It is immensely encouraging to hear Mr. Hoover express
himself in this wav.

STORY BY HAL COCHRAN PICTURES BY KNICK
i "These wagons, scooters, cars
and bikes art things that every
youngster likes," said hcouty. "1
am glad that e have helped lo
fix iheiu right. Just think of all
the fun ahead for- tots whp jump
right out of bed, aud run down to
their Christinas tree to find these
things in sight."
Then Clowny said, "I guess it's
true. I think that 1 would like one
too. Perhaps, if I ask Santa he
will give me one for keeps- And,
if he does I know that I II mtf
all you other Tinies aiulle- Why.
shucks he'd never miss one 'cause
he has just heaps and heaps."
' Then Scouiy broke right in and
said, "Now don't be silly. Use
your head. Just leave it all lo
him, and do uot beg a single
thing. I really think the proper
j way is just to wait till Christmas
day. Perhaps we'll all be tkkied
with the presents it will bring.'
1 "Ah, that Is absolutely nIit,"
snapped Santa, as he cvj io In
sight. "You all must a.-, your
! worrying, 'cause I'll take t. re of
1 you. If you're as good as you can
: be. a pack of lovely things you'll
see. Remember, it depends on
how you act and what you do."
I And then he started otf once
1 more and took them to a candy
J store. "We're going to make
j some candy canes," said Santa,
with a grin. "Well let tat Clowny
: be the cook. The rest of you can
t start in look for lines on which to
hang them, ami for bags to p.
i thein in."
The syrup very shortly boiled

THE NEED OF A KING
WritinR at the time of the illness of Cieorse the Fifth of
F.ntjIiinH. the editor of the Roselmrg News-Review wrote:
"All of our lives we look for leader someone who can
take us out of ourselves, someone who can demand of us every
thing that we can Rive, someone who. because he is a better
man than we are, can impel us to do the noble and high-minded
things that we never would do if left alone. It is that spiritual
need that makes men want a kinsr- That is what- explains Eng
land's devotion to its titular ruler. Whatever comes to EinInncl
war, internal troubles, famine, general strike or what-not
there nlways remains, above all contending factions, the figure
of the kiiii. n rallying point for earnest men. a personification of
the nation, it will be a long while before the institution outlives
its usefulness."
I here's something in us heeda to bow,
lo put the crown upon some brow;
There's something in us needs to kneel
A sense of leadership to feci;
X e like to know someone is l;ini.
To someone's Jory we would s.ng;
We crave to feel that we beloni?
Io one who a .master leads the throng.
There's sense of fealty in mai
lt seems a part of Cod's preat plan;
Though earthly kings wo have dcthrtned.
There's something in us would be owned.
And. though we boast we're democrats,
We still revere aristocrats;
And. though we ban the kingly stripe,
We still exalt the royal type.
Krpulilu always have their kingi
.And choosing them nunh striving brings;
Out from the nias some men will rise
Whose leadership the others prize;
I hese nre the pnmclinrs of the herd.
And. thou kI. we do not speak the word.
It tt & king our ballots crown
1 hough at the title we would fro'.vn.
There's this advantage bout our kintrs;
We make them prove their flying wings;
We tent and try thrin through the years
IVfote f nown thrm with our cheers;
'lis not throueh birth they come to rule.
But long experience sternest school.
And then we fcive them real power,
Tray God their -ti nth and nijdom tovci.
