Those radio performers must have angelic dispositions. I "I want to plant a flower garden this spring, but ray neighbor raises chickens and allows them to run at large. What can I do about it?" Thus writes a housewife up in the northeastern section of the city. Dear madam, yon are up against it. If your neighbors raise chickens you can't raise flowers, and that's all there is to it. Flower seed and poultry wont's mix no more than oil and water or gasoline and alcohol. They are in compatible elements, faster J The only way out of such a dilem ;ma is to approach your neighbor and 'courteously suggest a spirit of fair play, telling him frankly of your pur- i poe, and requesting that his chick en- be kept within secure wire en closures. You might also remind him that's i mouth has an ordinance prohibiting chickens from running at large; that you don't want to demand the pro tection of the law. but ask him for a square deal. Plant flowers in your front yard, for that matter and if three chick ens are at large in the neighborhood they will scratch up seed faster than you can put them in the ground. Therefore, it resolves itself into what sort of neighbors you have.

It is said this has served its purpose, but the public is convinced private ownership is the most economical. The disappointment with which Mr. Hoover's views on prohibition laws having been read by Republican journals in the East is genuine and profound. During the campaign many of the journals had been able to persuade themselves, pos sibly in all sincersity, that Mr. Hoo ver thoroughly understood the diffi culties of enforcing prohibition in great urban centers like New York. Boston and Philadelphia, and that the commission which he proposed to create to study the "grave abuses" of the law would start with a free hand and be empowered to recommend some form of modification of the facts pointed in that direction. These op timistic interpreters of Mr. Hoover's campaign speeches now find to their dismay that the new commission will have nothing to do with the question of determining whether in its present form the law can or cannot be en forced, and that the sole duty .or the commission will be to recommend such changes in the administration of the law as will put more power back of it. We are unable to share the sur prise which some ox" these Eastern Republican papers now manifest in the unwelcome discovery that Mr. Hoover's purposes run parallel with the purposes cf the Anti-Saloon League of America. For we did not believe that when Mr. Hoover com mitted himself during the course of the campaign to a bone-dry program he took this step with a sly wink in the direction of his Eastern sup porters. We believe that he meant what he said and that he would prove that lie meant it. We credited him with believing that the law should be enforced without any change he would bring all the powers of Government to bar in an effort to enforce it. Accordingly, when Mr. Hoover makes these facts clear be yond any doubt we do not feel that he has suddenly permitted us to share a secret. Mr. Hoover is a man of honor. If he took a militantly dry stand during the campaign it was to be expected that he would take a militantly dry stand upon his in auguration. Where his devout championship of prohibition in its present form will lead him it would h futile to guss on his beginning in office, but there can be no possible doubt that it will lead him far beyond the complacent policy of let-things-drift which has characterized the attitude of Con gress and th Coolidge administration toward Ihe enforcement of prohibi tion. Mr. Hoover is not the man to let things drift. 11- is ;n exc-elb t,t man to get things done. He is ccr tain to discover that very little has been done, really, to enforce prohi bition. Without going one mile from' the White House, his commission of inquiry will discover, for example. that in the records of the Appropria tions Committee of the House of Representatives there was entered on last December 5 the opinion of the Prohibition Commissioner that the sum of $300,000,000 annually would be needed for a real effort at en foreement. If Mr. Hoover is in earn est in his wish to enforce the Vol stead act without amendment, and if he is able to carry Congress with him or this new crusade, the country is certain to see a profound alteration in the chief emphasis of its Federal budget. It is certain to see new courts created, new armies of enforcement officers, recruited, new penalties im posed. For ourselves, we do not regret the fact that the country is now about to witness a test of prohibition in a new mood and on an entirely new scale. For since the American people are not ready to modify the law the best alternative is a real effort to en force it. The Republican party has accepted the responsibility for such an effort. It hes full power. There can be no excuse if it fails. Mr. Hoover has his mandate and we shall see what we shall see. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: David Goldstein, a Hebrew bach elor, is touring Mississippi under the auspices of the Knights of Colum bus, delivering a series of lectures on "What's Wrong With the Family." In furtherance of the spirit of har mony, the Ku Klux Klan ought to furnish Mr. Goldstein with special music preceding his lectures. :o: Someone asks if we. ever witnessed a groomless wedding. Well, hardly. but since we come to think it over.J we have seen them when the poor man was led to the altar as a sheep to slaughter, with about as much backbone as a twine string no ideas of his own, no hopes of his own, and just enough ambition to answer yes to questions propounded to him by the marriage officer. Yes, there are groomless weddings. To many to marry, also. So says The Stanberry (Mo.) Headlight. In the end all economic questions with their problems must be answer ed by actual results, and can not be by argument, discourses and able papers. One phase of the economic side is that of national needs and application of practices regardless of other countries. The international side is lost sight of, for the condi tions of each are different. So it is that conferences on economics at tended by delegates from nations far apart from each other in natural conditions, find it Impossible to agree upon uniform practices. Differing countries have differing tariffs, dif fering treatment as to methods to encourage navigation and other sub jects, hence these representatives up on some important, bearing points do not seem able to meet on a common ground. If it were possible to bring the civilized world under one gov ernment, establishing uniform law for all, do away with all existing barriers, with trade, business, rnanu facturing under equal laws and regu Jations, there would still be the na tural advantages to consider. There is soil, climate, v.ater, har bors. valleys and mountains, with other factors bearing on the economic side. There would be disadvantages of some countries that would have to be equalized some way, if there were to be internationalism instead of nationalism. It might be a better and brighter world provided man was willing to conform his nature and disposition to the changed order of things. But to the economic side may be added a gain. The world has agreed that however it may disagree as to some fundamentals in its inter changes, it must agree upon a uni form valuation of money. Naturally the World war disarranged this sound basis and nations concerned have gradually resumed their normal status. All th- world agrees upon gold and silver as a medium for money and upon the gold basis each country issues its paper currency. The world can agree in this one factor of economics, for it realizes that for one country to do any business with an other there must be a mometary cir culntion valued in gold. It can not igree upon tariffs but it can upon its medium of exchanges. Economics is great. :o: THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE lhey iiave come py various ways to the White House. Most of them by way of the law; some by way of party service; some by military irlaniour; one, by the intervention of Providence, so many believe; one'by the people's intuitive recognition of his sturdy character. Mr. Hoover comes to the White House by way of Australia, China, Russia, the Road to Mandalay, by humanitarianism in the collossal scale of the World War, by the accollade of business on his administration of the Department of Commerce. French papers describe the Presi dent as a self-made man, pre-emin- entlv qualified for the office. His professional career gives Mr. Hoover an international imprint which none of his predecessors has had. Indus trially he is a cosmopolitan perhaps without parallel anywhere in the longitude and latitude of personal experience. Were a favorable trade balance the sole, or even the first, consideration of Government, there could be no dissent from the verdict of his ex ceptional equipment for the office Certainly prosperity should be safe in his competent hands. But what would it profit this nation to gain the whole world and lose its soul? That is a question we may ask our selves today, not with doubt or fore boding, but with a proper degree of solemnitp. "When there is no vision the peo pie perish." That was the bibical verse which Mr. Hoover chose to kiss in taking the oath of office. Per haps there is augury in that choice. Certainly Mr. Hoover enters upon the succession with a rare abund ance of popular faith and good will. :o: ALSO OUR HOLIDAY At last Ireland has come into her own St. Patrick's Day has been declar ed a major holiday in the Irish Free State.
