Prospect of profits attendant on the sale of whiskey is already encour aging private interests to get the wholesale distribution of special brands. They and those looking for retailers' profits -will invest the legislature with a powerful lobby to prevent ' the state from establishing a state dispensary system. t Both the Knox committee in this state, by an eight-to-three vote, and the Rockefeller committee, strongly recom mend sale of hard liquors only in state-owned liquor stores. Each contemplates creation of a responsible state commis sion with a paid executive. This body would have general charge of the licensing of places where beer and wines are sold and through local stores of their own would dispense hard liquors. The objection voiced to this method by Upton and Steel . hammer is that the business should be left in private hands, i ! ! J 'But the majority report insists : "fhe element of private' profit, with its attendant tempta tion unduly to foster and promote sales and consumption to in crease profits, should be eliminated entirely from the retailing of liquors of the higher alcoholic content (above 11 per cent). This should be avoided by entrusting such business exclusively to the state, to be handled through the administrative agency recommended for that purpose, and by applying all profits de ' rived from the proper handling of Buch business to the benefit af the state and ita municipal divisions." The Rockefeller report condemns private licensing for ale of spirits very vigorously. It sajs in part : "Its primary weakness consists in the preservation of the private profit motive, which would be threaded through the entire business from manufacture to ultimate local sale . . . A greedy liquor traffic looking only lot larger profits will cir cumvent and evade any system 'of license defenses which ingen uity can erect." - "In the second place any UcenBing system tends to project the whole Question Into politics and to keep it there. Indeed it i compels the traffic to be in politics for self-preservation. The licensing body becomes a powerful political engine. Every 11 " censee and every manufacturer 'Who sells to a licensee, or has ' any Interest in the business, begins to marshal his own political "strength to serve his own ends. "In the third place, a system of licenses to private traders is, theoretically at least, incompatible with any idea of temper ance education. While individual vendors of the better class will perhaps from motives of self-interest and conscience Join with temperance forces in curbing individual abuse, this is as far as they will go. "In the fourth place, to adopt the license method is to follow the easy path, but it is a path which affords no sure retreat if the system proves unsatisfactory. For the establishment of a ' licensed liquor trade means the deep intrenchment of a far-flung , proprietary interest. This interest would have a large capital investment to be protected at all costs. Buildings, leases, fixtures. Inventories, stocks and bonds, representing millions of dollars would require defense against those who in the public interest might threaten curb or reduction." The logic of the Knox report and of the Rockefeller inves tigators appears irresistible. Leave the wholesaling and re tailing of spirits to private interests and immediately they become active in promoting the increase of sales. Political intrigue and corruption are revived. Conscienceless exploita tion of weak human beings will follow, as in the saloon days. ! The state has an opportunity now to work out construc tively a modification of the prohibition policy. The Knox committee has submitted such a legislative outline. It would , be a great, disaster if repeal is made the means for the res r - toration of the liquor trade with its old opportunities for social and political evils. . Managed Currency - ""PRESIDENT lifts currency doubts" was a headline in a - JL Monday night newspaper. The head writer was more easily satisfied than most everyone else, because confusion of thought has been worse since the president spoke Sunday night. Some commentators hail his speech as a pronounce ment for "sound currency"; others hail it as a boost for in flation. It certainly cannot be both. I There is additional confusion over the term "managed : currency." The government is opening a gold market; but there is no clear explanation of how it is going to connect a managed currency with the price of gold. And there is even ; greater mystery over how its control of the currency and f ix 1 , ing of the price of gold will raise price levels. Its previous at- tempt at raising price levels through psuedo-inflation did not , . . succeed, for it provided no props under the price levels. The secret of price increases through inflation is the prospect of continuing expansion or 'uncontrolled" inflation; and this the government opposes. We must await the working out of the new program to - know just what the president has in mind; but at present it appears just another dose of the medicine applied last spring, whose stimulating effects have been passing off during the summer and falL In Louisiana some women are said to be fostering a boycott against stores which handle Hney Long's autobiography. Another case of resort to a bad tool. Long's book is nndoubtedly "hooey," but to try to suppress Its sale by boycott is foolish. Some churches have had the Idea of using a boycott against bookstores which sell books they- do not like. That Is another indefensible attitude. Let the winds f freedom blow; and let the books be sold. Otherwise truth is per verted, suspicion prevails and liberty Is stifled. The Portland Journal sheds copious tears because it hasn't put over the Wolf creek and Wilson river roads under PWA. "With the dam at Bonneville Portland would seem to be faring quite well from fed Jeral funds. It Is getting a public market project from the same source, and road money la addition. The Journal appears to believe that the life of the city depends on being able to drive to the seacoast over a shorter road. The roads will be built, but why pile up pledges on future revenues to get them built? Al Smith la one rugged Individual who can't take it.

W&M M n Editorial Comment From Other Papers EINSTEIN AND HOIAXITr Few persons are able to com prehend the mathematical details underlying the Einsteinian theory of relatiFity. But what the great physicist had to say to a large audience in London on the rela tion of the people who live in this corner of the universe is inelig ible to ail who have minds to un derstand. He said a few months ago that he was sure that the Tini verse was expanding, but he is now saying in exile that the ques tion which must concern us is: "How can we save, mankind and its spiritual acquisitions of which we arf the heirs?" Specifically he asks: "How can we save Europe from disaster?" v In his doctrine ofyrelativlty the freedom of the human intellect is the most important thing in the universe. Without it man would sink, into the "dull slaxery" of the ancient periods, of human exist ence under despitisms. We may go on living in a Newtonian uni verse without anxiety as to what the Einstein or quantum theory may do to it. The free mind of man in scientific research will make the necessary adjustments.

There was an addition later which seemed to repair this omis3ion. Even so, Einstein is at the moment con cerned about mortal creatures and their dwelling together this side of infinity. Sir James Jeans, author of "The Mysterious Universe," who has estimated that 10,000 genera tions of men have walked in this planetary part, sat on the plat form with his brother scientist. He said a few years ago that fate has selected for us what is per haps, in some ways, "the most sensational moment in the life of the race." But how ominous it is that at this moment, as Sir Austen Chamberlain said, the catastrophe produced by the hand of man is worse than earthquakes and floods. "I know,' he said, "of no greater tragedy than the proscrip tion of this twentieth century of a race which has distinguished it self in the arts and sciences and in every country through the ages." The universe which we study with such care, declares Sir James, "may be a dream and we brain-cells in the mind of the dreamer," but can one say of an other, either in the dream of the Creator or in tne reality which we call life, "I have no need of thee?"

Later' that week she got the grandest letter from her boy. He was so sorry she couldn't come and he had been eoduting on it and she was the grandest mother In the world and he would hare been so proud of her; and she was respon sible for everything fine which had ever happened to him and he would never forget her or be abl to re pay her no matter how he tried. ,Mom cried when she read it and that night she read tt again and put it under her pillow and Just laid there a long time and thought of things. Just that letter was worth the disappointment of not seeing her boy In all of his glory; Horn knew now how much she had wanted to go . . . bow she had looked forward to every-little de tail of it. But she had gone a long time without seeing s Thorndyke grad uation and like as not It would have been disappointing anyhow . . . and it would pass away and she'd forget it like everything else. But that letter would never pass away; she would keep it always and read it over and over when her Tom my got even greater than he was. Nobody could take that away from her and the knowledge that her boy wasn't ashamed of his mother after all. And the next day she let Mrs, Johnson read it and Mrs. Johnson cried when she read it; and Mrs Johnson told Mrs. Flannigan and she came over and asked to read it and when she had finished she broke right down and cried and said: "My God, aint it grand?" Mom knew the two of them would tell Mrs. Farrell but Mom didnt hear what Mrs. Farrell said. "I notice," ahe said, "that she didn't have any fancy letter like that to show until after he knew she wasnt coming," "Why, Mia Farrell," said Mrs Johnson, "you dont think any boy would treat hia own mother that way." "My Jole wouldn't," "My Buddy wouldn't" 1 know my Florrie wouldn't." Mrs. Farrell looked at Mrs. Flan nigan; each knew what the other was thinking if there was any thing her Florrie hadn't done or wouldn't do, they'd like to know about it. Mom didn't go around Butcher Brown's store any more than she had to for awhile because she couldn't stand Mrs. Farrell's brag ging. At first it was all about her roine to go- to Joie's graduation; then it was all about how grand it had been; and although anybody could aee everybody was sick and tired of hearing about it she just kent it op. a regular talking ma chine; as if anybody cared about what her Joie did or about him go- ine to come back to Athens and work for Charlie Whitney at the factory. . "What'd he go to college for If he's roine to work in the factory? Uncle Louie said. "He might as weH have been working there all the time." "He's going tav work on some busy quilting at the hall Thurs days and several special sessions have met other afternoons in order to complete the work on hand as soon as possible.

" 'Sabout time somebody's getting some new ideas or the placeH be shut down al together." "Yen but yoa don t expect tnai shrimp Joie Farrell to think up anything, do you?" , For once Pop and Unci Loole agreed; but Uncle Louie had to have the last word. "Seems to me Charlie Whitney's got a lot of mohev to waste." But Pod would never stand tor anybody talking about Charlie Whitney. "Well, it's his money, ain't It? How do you know he'a wasting it, anyhow? Joie was bright in school, wasn't he? He studied to be a chemist, didn't he. in college?" Uncle Louie laughed, a dry kind of a superior langh that always made Pop mad. "That proves he's dumb and it proves Charlie Whit ney's wasting his money: why should anybody have to take np chemistry to work in a glass house?" Mom knew Pop wondered about that, too; everybody wondered; but Pop wouldn't give him the satis faction, after that laugh; he got even in another way; "Some of the people that's knockin' Charlie Whitney wouldn't be eatin now if it wasn't for him he's running the factory far over orders and putting the ware in stock just to keep ev erybody workin'." Uncle Louie took it as a personal Insult and got up and left. But it wasn't long until the town forgot all about Joie Farrell and his chemistry; and hia mother had to quit her bragging becanse no body would listen to her. She had to sit way back in the shade. "It got so I could hardly go In there any more," Mrs. Flannigan said to Mom; "you'd think that runt Joie was somebody and here he's never been more'n a hundred miles from home and my Buddy's been all over the world yet you N SUBLIMITY, Oct. 24.

In buying any laxative, read the label. It tt contains one doubtful drug, don't take it. If you don't know anything about a prepara tion, ask some doctor about it. Temporary relief that you get from some habit-forming cathartic is very apt to be dearly bought. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a prescnptiooal preparation with its ingredients stated on the label. By using it, you avoid bowel strain. You can keep the bowels regulan and comfortable,, You can make constipated spells as rare as colds.
