Some great peans.have been to ef
ficiency in our time, but it is likely
i that we will be less melodious when
, we consider its application to bank
i robbery.
I There was nothing inefficient
about th robbery of the City Bank
'of Kansas City last Saturday. It was
characterized by the efficiency of a
military operation. The robbers cut
the outside connection with the bur
glar alarm the night before the job.
j When they appeared the girl at the
'telephone exchange almost pushed
the button through the keyboard
trying to give the alarm, while the
robbers smiled at one another. They
carried two sub-machine guns, saw-ed-off
shot gund?, and all the arma
ment of their trade. They were in
the bank six minutes, and got $50,
000. This was in the heart of the
city.
At Wellston on the same day bank
robbers elevated their craft to an
even greater degree of efficiency. Un
like the James and Younger boys at
Northfield, the Daltons at Coffey
ville, or the rough yokels operating
at Kansas City, the Wellston artists
entered the bank during the night
by sawing a hole through the ceil
ing and bagged the employes as they
came in. When the vault opened
they took $30,000 and left. Not a
shot was fired. While the ruffians on
the Kaw were plastering bullets
' against the walls of the City Bank
ir.siue ana oui, anu ineir uiooeiinirsiy
yells terrorized the neighborhood, the
morning quiet of Wellston was not
disturbed by so much as a yell.
So as in all things, there is both
good and evil in efficiency.

THINKING CAMPAIGNS
Politics is quieter than it used to
be.
A few years ago a presidential
campaign meant lots of excitement,
with torch-light processions, impas
sioned stump speakers and blaring
brass bands. The color has gone out
of it now. The campaign is con
ducted quietly.
Probably this is a change for the
better. Presidential campaigns call
for clear thinking on the part of the
voter. And certainly brass bands and
torchlight parades didn't induce
thinking. Their appeal was solely
to the emotions.

Just as our country was thinking
civilization had come a long way

BANKRUPTCY
If Congress passes the pending
measure repealing the national bank
ruptcy act, there are bound to result
chaotic conditions and disastrous re
sults. So Jacob M. Lashly. chairman
of the Bankruptcy Committee of the
American Bar Association, has just
told a conference of Missouri and
Illinois credit men, and he support
ed his assertion with an argument
both refreshing and convincing.
The reason why credit men fail
to get anything from many debtors
is partly because they permit them
to continue in busines until they
exhaust their assets. They allow a
firm which is 'obviously shipping to
proceed to the point where there are
no assets left. But this is not all.
Credit men make a great error in
preferring to start receivership ac
tion in State courts rather than re
sorting at once to bankruptcy actions
in Federal courts. In the former,
there are no limits on the fees for
attorneys, appraisers, administrators,
and so on, and hence these may gob
ble up all the assets under the na
tional act, however, such fees are
limited.
The advantage to credit is evident,
and should provide reason enough
against the repeal of the act. A fur
ther reason, however, lies in the fact
that after attempting the receiver
ship method for a while, it is in
variably found neceesary to begin
bankruptcy action under th national
law. All in all. as a useful means of
safeguarding a national as.-,et, a:
a force for business stability, it de
serves to be maintained and put to
greater employment.

ODDITIES OF GRAJDIAR
A few days since a lad-, in con
versation with the editor, used the
expression "most strange."
Being a strange expression to us,
we forthwith interpreted it as bad
use of the English language.
But now we are not so sure.
Philologists which is another
name for Errammatical sharps are
about to incorporate in the diction
ary, or grammar, the phrase "ain't
I," as a perfectly good expression.
If they get by with this, then
"most strange" is a very elegant form
of expression.
Apparently "ain't I" or "ain't,"
as the proper contraction for "am I
not."
Verily, it is "most strange.'

After three or four warnings on
the subject, it occurs to us with
more or less surprise that what ruin
ed Sampson was a haircut, not re
fusal to carry the umbrella on a
cloudy day.

Mr. Borah has now -put his pro
hibit ion tjuestions to t h ie presiden
tial candidates and bad tliree.au
sweis. Let us see what they do lo
clear the air of hypocrisy in the mat
ter of enforcement. The New York
Herald says:
Senator Curtis of Kansas, first on
Mr. Borah's list, tells Mr. Borah that!
prohibition is a "splendid tl.ing, the
greatest, moral issue- of the ages,"
and promistr, that if he is elected
President he will "favor meeting the
issue of enforcement squarely."
Senator Willis of Ohio pledges him
self to "put forth every effort to see
to it that the eighteenth amendment
is obeyed, observed and resp-.cted.
That is my attitude now and
would continue to be exactly the
same in the event of nomination and
election."
Now Secretary Hoover, calling pro
hibition "a great s'ocial and eco
nomic experiment, noble in motive
and far-reaching in purpose," prom
ises to support the Volstead act and
to favor "efficient, vigorous and sin
cere enforcement."
Three very dry gentlemen, one
might think; yet what do they really
say?
Does Senator Curtis take note of
the fact that the $:;0,000.000 now
appropriated annuall for enforcement
is admittedly a mere pittance of what
enforecement needs and promise that
if lie is elected President he will
urge Congress to support prohibition
at whatever cost, even though the
cost runs above $200,000,000 annual
ly? No Senator Curtis does not men
tion details. He merely favors "meet
ing the issue squarely."
Does Senator Willis point out that
the central problem in 'enforcement
is how to pr vent millions of gal
lons, of industrial alcohol from b iii!j
diverted to illegal purposes and sug
gest any way in which a bewildered
government which has failed to solve
the problem under Willis? No. Mr.
Willis is only goinir "to put forth
every effort to see to it. that the
eighteenth amendment is obeyed, ob
served and respected."
Does Secretary Hoover take note
of the fact that the friends of pro
hibition believe the present law to
be ineffective and agree with them
in demanding new teeth in the law,
new penalties, new punishments,
new invasions of personal liberty,
new interpretations of the law of
search and seizure?. No. Mr. Hoover
is simply for "efficient, vigorous and
sincere enforcement." Will he tell
us how?
Not one of these gentlemen has
said anything that promises to make
the slightest dent in the hypocrisy
which now surrounds the issue of
enforcement. Not one of them has
said anything that cannot saf'ly b
forsotten. Prohibition may be "the
greatest moial issue of the ages."
But in the matter of enforcement,
pious generalities which mean noth
ing are the order of the day.
