STANDARDIZED HOMES
Once in a while some economist
launches an idea which makes people
of any aesthetic taste whatever, all
but 'wish that the entire
idea Of
standardization could be sunk in the
depths of the ocean, never to be re
covered.
Here, for example, comes a man of
the high standard of Edward A. Fi- ( Lincoln, according to Don Seitz.
lene, merchant, economist, philan- . "declined to accept the theory of re
thropist and one hardly knows what rformers that drunkards were "atter
all else that is commendable, pre- lv incorrigible.' and therefore, 'must
dieting with apparent approval that
dwelling houses of the future will
be reduced to a few standardized
forms, capable of being constructed
by machinery on the principle of
mass production, like automobi les,
and assembled at the point of sale
by the same concern that does the
manufacturing.
If Mr. Filene is right, we will add
the further prediction that when the
bulk of our men and women are ready
to live in standardized dwellings of
this sort, they will be ready for the
standardized union suit as the one
article of wearing apparel, uniform
for both sexes and all ages, with pos
sibly three different grades in weight,
to suit the exigencies of hot, mod
erate and daid weather.
But we have a suspicion that some
of the best qualities in human na
ture will call an effective halt on
the ambitious advance of standard
ization, before Mr. Filene's dream
or shall we call it a "nightmare"
is realized.

AN ECONOMICAL STEP
Movable coast defense forts which
can be shifted quickly from one point
on the seacoast to another are now
being developed by the U. S. Army.

LINCOLN AND LIQUOR
The prohibitionists have made so
much use of an alleged remark by
Abraham Lincoln in
favor of their
sort of prohibition that conveys an
altogether wrong impression concern-
ins the Emancipator's real attitude
towartl tne drink evil. This is cor-
jj-ected in the current issue of The
Churchman, the leading publication
. A. n -r- , x.
of the Protestant Episcopal church,
, 4 .
by Don C. Seitz, of the New ork
, , , , , . . . . ,
,Aorld, who had been browsing amid
Lincoln's papers to discover just what
he did have to say on this trouble-
some subject.
Under the caption "Lincoln and
Liquor" Mr. Seitz observes, "In the
pride of his lusty youth Abraham
Lincoln once gave an exhibition of
the great physical strength he pos
sessed by picking up a barrel of
'whisky at Rutledge's Mill, in New
Salem, Illinois, and elvating it on
his knees took a sip out of the bung
hole. AYhisky was then master of
church and state in Illinois and to
oppose it meant political failure. The
young Lincoln embarked in politics
soon after this exploit but he did not
dodge liquor."
The Churchman quotes from Abra-
1nam Lincoln words as follows
' "I have said that denunciations
against dram-sellers and dram-drinkers
are unjust, as well as impolitic.
Let us see. I have not inquired at
what period, of time th use of in
toxicating liquors commenced, nor is
it important to know. It is sufficient
that to all of us who now inhabit
the practice of drinking them is just
as old as the world itself that is.
we have been the one just i:3 long ."S
,we have seen the other. When all
such of us as have reacted ths years
: of maturity first opened cur eyes
upon the stage of existence, we found
.intoxicating liquor recognized by
everybody, used by everybody, re
pudiated by nobody. It commonly en
teied into the first draught "f the
infant and the last drausht of the
dying man. From the sideboard of
the parson to the ragged pocket of
the houseless loafer, it was constant
ly found. Physicians prescribed it
in this, that, and the other disease;
government provided for soldiers and
sailors: and to have a 'rolling or
raising a husking or a 'hoe-down'
anywhere about without it, was posi
tively insufferable. So, too, it was
everywhere a respectable article of
manufacture and merchandise Large
and small manufactures of it were
everywhere erected'' in which all the
earthly goods of their owners were
invested. Wagons draw it from town
to town; boats bore it from clime to
clime, and the winds wafted it frora
nation to nation; and merchants
bought and sold it reui'l. with pre-

of plows, beef, bacon or any other
- of the real necessities of life
be turned adrift and damned with
.out remedy in order that the grace
of temperance might abound to the
temperate then and to all mankind
some hundreds of years hereafter."
He looked forward to the day when
py a process of reason the bondage
of drink would be broken, with 'none
'wounded in feeling, none injured in
S interest; even the dram-maker and
;the dram-seller will have glided into
nthpr occunations so eraduallv as to
never have felt the change, and will
stand ready to join all others in the
universal song of gladness.' "
:o:
A W0ELD OF ILL-WILL
The Senate Finance Committee has
under compulsion published a sum
mary of the protests of foreign na
tions against the pending tariff bill.
In all, 25 nations and three colonies
ihave filed remonstrance. In some in-
stances the objections are diplo
matically expressed; in others the
consequences are boldly stated, with
reprisal rather frankly avowed.
That our best customer, Canada,
regards the Hawley schedules as an
unfriendly act, commercially speak
ing, is known, not through disclos
ures from Washington but by news-
paper comment and the utterances
iof captains of Canadian industry and
est, as well as
well as North similar
sentiment is recorded.
No sensible man will undertake to
say that we can ignore such a hos-
tile world-wide reaction. Certainly .
we cannot expect other nations to j

We do not believe that the tariff
bill prepared by the Ways and Means
Committee will pass the Senate. If
by any chance it should, we do not
believe that Mr. Hoover will ap
prove it. A point may be made of
the historical fact that no President
has vetoed a tariff bill. Grover Cleve
land denounced the Wilson bill as
"per.dious," but he permitted it to
become a law by default. To Mr.
Hoover may come the opportunity of
setting a precedent by vetoing a
customs measure which threatens to
envelop us in a world of ill-will,
seriously impair our foreign tri.de, i
and pile unconscionable taxes on the
American people. We have every con
fidence that Mr. Hoover will prove
equal to that opportunity, or obliga
tion, if it comes.

"SPRING" CAP0NE
Pennsylvania officials
have an -
nounced that they are aware of an
elaborate plan to obtain the release
. m mt
face" Al Capone. The plan involves
a number of a fanciful features, from
violence to the engaging of noted
legal talent. There is said to be a
standing offer of $ 50,000 to anyone
who devises a way to open the Jail
doors for the gangster.
It seems highly improbable, on the
face of things, that the public has
been acquainted with the whole truth
concerning Capone's arrest. It was
far too easy and smacked greatly of
a subtile desire on the part of the
. bandit chief to put himself in a safe
place for awhile.
It may be that the circumstances
that led him to seek the protection
of stone walls and wardens guns has
passed, and he is ready for his free-
dom again, confident that it can be
obtained without great difficulty,
This would be carrying to extremes
the bandit principle of flouting the
law and hiding behind it when nec
essary, but Capone is an extremist.
However Capone is exactly where
he should be behind bars. His sen
tence of one year for carrying con
cealed weapons is ironically small.
