Frady Parage Plattsmouth- Nebraska THE PRESIDENT INSISTS An amazing statistical analysis of the population of Federal prisons from 1910 to April 1930, prepared by Sanford Bates, Superintendent of Prisons, shows that of the 10,977 per sons now confined, 7490 were con victed of what the chart refers to as " 'new offenses," as against only 3487 "'old offenses." Of the 7490. nearly half, or 3472, are serving time for prohibition violations. In other words, all the counterfeiters, em bezzlers, murderers and other assort ed crooks in Federal prisons lumped together hardly outnumber the boot leggers. The next largest class of prisoners are violators cf the Harri son anti-narcotic act. They number 2448. Under the Dyer automobile theft law, 1385 are serving time, and 184 under the Mann act. Consider the situation in 1910. At that time the Federal prisons housed only 1942, and the ratio of prison ers per million population was only 21.1 as against 89.7 on April 1, 1930. So that the increase of more than 400 per cent in prison population in i the last 10 years can be traced di- i rectly to the entrance of the Federal Government into the police business, and the creation of new crimes by statute. Less than 100 per cent of the increase in traceable to "old" offenses, that is, those not covered by the four laws mentioned, and this increase is partly due to increase of population. And what of those four laws? The prohibition law is under heavy fire throughout the country. It has been impossible of enforcement, and a vig orous movement for a repeal is well under way. The Dyer act has been repudiated by its author, Represen tative Dyer of Missouri, who says it has been perverted from its original purpose of breaking up interstate auto-stealing rings to the prosecution of joy-riders and mischievous youths. He is advocating its repeal. Long ago the Mann act was entirely discredit ed, as an instrument of blackmail. The Harrison anti-narcotic act has proved to be a breeder of dope fiends. It, like the eighteenth amendment, has created a huge and immensely profitable underworld industry which the authorities are unable to stamp out. Many who have observed the Operation of the Harrison act inti mately are convinced It Is a failure. It has become plain that the time has come to take the Federal Govern ment out of the reform and petty po lice business and restore it to its na tural province, leaving what policing must be done to the states. Twen ty years of noble experimentation In the field of morals and private hab its by Washington has dismally fail ed to accomplish its objects. And once again the wisdom of the found ers, who never intended that the Federal Government should invade the local self-government of the states, has ben impressively vindi cated. :oi UPTON'S NEW YACHT The trim craft with which Sir Thomas Llpton will make his fifth attempt to win the American Cup was launched at Gosport England. It was christened Shamrock V. One of the American defenders, the Enter prise, was launched on the same day at Bristol, R. I. The Yankee, the Whirlwind and the Weetamoe, the three other American boats, are nearing completion. The race will be held off Newport on Sept. 13. Lipton's vessel is of wood, and so is the Whirlwind. The Yankee, Westa moe and Enterprise are of metal. The yacht race is a thing of grace and beauty, and a great social event for English-speaking peoples, to say nothing of the advertising value to Lipton's commercial products. Neith er known but for his yachts, and, while we admire his sportsmanship and perseverance, we infer that neither goes without tangible re ward. With every defeat a victory, what would a victory be? . :o: A TAFT POSTAGE STAMP SOON The President again requests Con gress for legislation that may en able law enforcement. In this re quest he is specific with reference to the crying need for reform and corrective provision in rspect to Courts and prisons. Most especially, he urges transfer of prohibition en forcement from the Tureasury to the Justice Department, where it prop erly belongs. He asks relief from congestion in the Courts and the ex tension of Federal prisons, now crowded to twice their capacity. WThat likely may happen in over crowded prisons lamentably Just has been demonstrated in ghastly wise at the Ohio Penitentiary. The Presi dent says, "The overcrowding of the prisons themselves is inhumane and accentuates criminal tendencies." President Hoover quotes the Attorney-General to the effect that "we cannot enforce the laws unless we have some point of reception for con victed persons." That is to say, we must have enough and more com modious penal institutions. The President, finds it necessary also again to urge the Congress to enact an adequate prohibition law for the District of Columbia. Without such assistance the Pres ident admits his complete inability to perform the "high duty which falls upon the Executive of enforce ment of the Federal laws." Whether, even with any manner of legislation, the prohibition law- could be enforced must remain a mat ter for future determination, but Tt reasonably is probable that Congress before adjournment will respond fav orably to the President's desire. What lamentably too clearly is suggested by the President's special message, however, is the present de plorable situation in the country with respect to prohibition enforce ment and its reactions. In this con- flection it may not be out of place to quote from the testimony by Sir Henry Drayton, Chairman of the Ontario Liquor Control Board, re cently delivered before the Congres sional Committee inquiring Into the facts of the existing situation. After trying prohibition for 10 years, Canada returned to the sys tem of Government control. Said Sir Henry: "The very worst thing that hap pened with us was that the inten sive temperance campaign on which prohibition was voted ceased when prohibition became law. For them the goal had been reached. It was then a matter for the Govrnment. "It was no longer a matter of right or wrong. It was a matter of Jails and fines, of pains and penalties. The program of moral suasion was succeeded by a program of legislative force which did not and could not work with us." :o: It is charged that an Indiana town election was decided by bribes of two loads of wood. Now we know what is meant by good political timber, i . NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION A 4-cent postage stamp bearing the portrait of William H. Taft soon will replace the present 4-cent brown stamp bearing the portrait of Martha Washington. The new stamp will be printed In a color to be selected af ter several trial printings. A new design for the present 1 cent stamp with the portrait of President Harding also is being pre pared for early issue From Meckel's Weekly Stamp News. Most people eat too much, says a health item. Still from the manner In which prices have ruled for the past decade some folks have done all they could to discourage it. to: The British Government is going to keep members of Parliament awake and alert by refreshening the air of the House of Commons with a mix ture of oxygen and alcohol. Our own lawmakers who "vote dry . and live wet" might try that. It's quite legal. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss. In the County Court.
