For an evil It is, and it would be none the less so though govern ment became sole owner and mana ger of a disreputable business in which at one time it was a virtual partner through the subterfuge of a license share in ill-gotten revenues. Nowadays the liquor trade makes its profit by preying unlawfully upon human weakness. But this is far better than that government should take and make the profit by preying lawfully upon human weak- ness. Appreciable government revenue —state or federal from drink would depend upon the encourage ment and spread of drinking. Yes, far better to keep the liquor snake encaged even though it thrust its ugly head far out from beneath the bars and hiss its male- volent defiance than to take it to our bosom. But then, as we have said, there is a “state of mind.” It is impatient of results, as though an evil traffic that has flourished since the dawn of civili- ration could be appreciably cur tailed In less than half a century. It is impatient of what it pleases to regard as interference with indi vidual privilege, as though man is entitled to a privilege transcending “the greatest good of the greatest number.” It is impatient of adversity, and because prohibition Is an integral part of our governmental system would wreck it in order to bring about a wholesale change, on the theory that something different would be something better. It is impatient because young peo ple drink, when young people also drink in England a country of the open saloon and there is no guar anty that they would refrain from drinking under government control. it is impatient of racketeering when only twenty per cent of the racketeering is based upon the illicit liquor traffic, and there is no guar anty that the traffic will cease with overnment control. It has not in 'añada, where the bootlegger ped- Ues cheaper booze. It is impatient of corruption among dry law enforcement agen cies. although this is growing less and there is no guaranty that a venal and powerful political mach ine would not be the result of gov- ernment control. It is impatient of the cost of dry law enforcement, when compared tc ither governmental costs it is a bag atelle. Prohibition is the greatest sociol ogical experiment of the age, and to work it out is a matter of decader rather than of years. From wha we regard as the most reliable sta tistics available, it has reduced liq uor consumption at least one-half Undeniably, it is a boon to the work ingman's family. Undeniably, it has lessened the number of inebriate: seen in public places. And those who do the drinking now are thos< who can best afford the cost. It would be calamitous, we repeat, if a "state of mind”—resultant from a reckless feeling that everything that is is wrong—should halt us in our tracks.—Weston Leader. CHURCH NOTES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES 6{‘hristian Science” was the sub- ‘ Ject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. on Sunday, June 23. The Golden Text was, “When ye received the word of God which ya heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as It is in truth, the word of God, which ef- fectually worketh also in you that believe” (I Thess. 2:13). Among the citations which com prised the Lesson Sermon was the following from the Bible: “In that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, end the eyes ot the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. The meek also shall increase their Joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall re joice in the Holy One of Israel” (Isa. 29:18, 19). The Lesson-Sermon also Included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures”, by Mary Baker Eddy: “The time for thinkers has come. Truth, independent of doctrines and time-honored systems, knocks at the portal of humanity . . . Since the author’s discovery of the might of Truth in the treatment of disease as well as of sin, her system has been fully tested and has not been found wanting” (p.vii). METHODIST CHURCH. O. W.

ASTORIA—A cooperative market- ng organization is being found in his county to handle the bent grass seed of the members. The capital tock type of organization has been lecided upon as the best for the lo- •al circumstances. Bent grass seed • as become an important seed pro- luet in this county where a type of zrass somewhat different from that in most other bent grass sections is being grown, Market demand has been slow for the past year but it is believed that a good marketing or- zanization will aid in moving the rop. FACTORY PAYROLL SLASH. Unfavorable industrial conditions continue to dominate the market de mand for farm products, according to the monthly report of the college extension service on the agricultur- al situation, The index of factory payrolls in April was down to 48 per cent of the 1923 to 1925 aver- age. Farm prices in May averaged of the 1926 to 1930 only 4 2 per cent < average of that month. “The exchange value of farm pro- duets for commodities usually pur- hased by farmers averaged just 50 per cent as much as before the war.” according to the report. There has been a sharp decline in prices for some commodities bought by far mers, the general price level drop ping to 12 per cent above the pre- war level, or 73 per cent of the 1926 to 1930 level. The farm price average was 56 per cent of prewar. The farmer’s problem In meeting fixed charges is most acute, accord ing to the review. Farm taxes are about 250 per cent of prewar and the payment of debts out of income has become extremely difficult for the farmer. “DISORDERLY CONDUCT,” FOX DRAMA, LAUDED AT PREVIEW. With a realism that makes its sto ry at once vivid and dramatic, “Dis orderly Conduct" is unquestionably one of the most gripping screen of ferings of recent months, according to critics who a corded a preview of this unusual film. The picture, which has its debut at the Oasis theatre Friday, tells fearlessly and convincingly the tale of a police officer who double- crossed himself—who found his re fusal to touch tainted money led only to disgrace, and who conse quently decided to “go wrong" with unexpected results. After turning down handsome bribes in performing his duty. Mo torcycle Sergeant Dick Fay has the ill-fortune to arrest the daughter of and the city’s biggest politician rum-runner. As a result he is de- moted to a patrolman’s status and sent out on a beat. With the in- justice of this rankling in his soul, he decides that honesty doesn't pay and begins to accept protection mon- ey that formerly he would have scorned. This involves him with bis com- manding officer and with the girl who brought about his downfall and swiftly leads to a series of dramatic events that provide plenty of thrills and excitement for the spectator, Sally Eilers, who rose to stardom in "Bad Girl” and “Dance Team,” is said to give a dramatic perfor mance that is second to nothing she has done so far, while Spencer Tra cy, in the role of "Fay,” the police man reaches the heights promised by his earlier work in “Up The Ri ver” and “Quick Millions.” El Brendel is the third featured player and the splendid supporting cast Includes Ralph Bellamy, Ralph Morgan, Allan Dinehart, Claire May nard and Nora Lane in important roles. The subtly effective direction of John W. Considine, Jr., and the grimly vivid story by William An thony McGuire together with Del Andrews’ adaptation, all contribute toward making "Disorderly Con duct" a genuine event in local screen circles.
