A part of the propaganda of ' have sought to make it appear that the Anieritran people have become a nation of designing and crafty vio lators of the prohibition law has been the circula tion of reports that wealth and ease attend the occupation of bootlegging. ’Occasionally one hears of great fortunes being amassed by adroit and re sourceful captains in this questionable industry, and again a spacious home or landed estate is point ed out as the **reward of industry*’ earned by the purveyors of illicit alcoholic drinks. It is reasonable to suppose that this declared easy road to wealth has attracted thousands of hapless and disappointed adventurers. Likewise it is probable that the ad venturers upon forbidden paths have added ma terially to the volume of .contraband liquor avail able'to equally adventursome imbibers. Those who have cared to join the ranks of indulgers or of hosts and hostesses who serve liquors of a known dele terious quality to their guests find no difficulty, in forming an alliance with some bootlegger whose word they would giot accept in any ordinary business transaction. But there is another side to the pioture, as the records of eourts, jails and state and federal prisons indicate. Never before has it been more convincing ly shown that the w a y o f the transgressor is indeed hard. Scarcely a day passes in any city of con siderable size in the United States without the an nouncement of the conviction and commitment of offenders who have been found guilty of violating this particfllar law. There are indications that juries are coming to regard these offenders a* be ing as great a menace to the peace and dignity of their communities as those who persistently violate other laws. There was a time when the' impression seemed to prevail that the ingenious and ingenuous bootlegger was equipped and fitted^ perhaps by his familiarity with the devious ways of criminals, to serve a cross section of the community whose in alienable privileges had been curtailed by sumptu ary legislation passed while these individuals slept upon their tights. Not so now. Even the people*who oontinue to pay tribute to the bootlegger no longerxregard him as a public benefactor or as a friend in need. He is reaching that precarious position in society where he must take his chances, just as the “ second-story man” and the highwayman must accept the hazard of their occupations. This change in the attitude of the public is welcomed as promising progress in the effort to inculcate a greater popular respect for the law. • The reversal of sentiment is easily explained. Owing to circumstances over which the venders of noxious concoctions have no control, the qualijty of their wares has steadily deteriorated. Their will ingness to assume all the risks by offering to their patrons concoctions known to be harmful at prices returning a profit of 1000 per cent, lias not tended to strengthen the fraternal bond between seller and bnyer. When that day comes in which it is dis covered by the bootlegger that he has no “ friend at conrt,” a long step will have been taken in rid ding the country of his destructive business.—Christ ian Science Monitor.

A United Country The United States is rapidly building up an anny of men over 45 years of age, healthy and strong, valuable citizen« of good reputation,- but condemned to idleness on account of their “ ad vanced” years. Most large enterprises have their yearly “ re organizations,” and. brieve they add to their prosperity when they replace men of me«it and achievement by cheaper help, girls or boys. Such procedure undermines the mutual faith fulness which must survive in business between em ployer and employee. The time has arrived when the middle-aged men of about forty-five and their families should he better prptected. Everybody knows that men, no matter what their station in life, are most efficient and reliable afte/y forty. The greater ¡»art of valuable invention! and achievements is credited to men well over forty. Where would America he if the fact really existed that all men decline in their ability after forty?
