VENTY-FIVE PER CE
Its a startling commentary on the success of the
prohibition experiment in this glorious union of sover
eign states after 10 years of attempted enforcement of
the 18th amendment, that 75 per cent of the United
States border patrol inspectors in the Detroit area
were involved in charges of accepting bribes to allow
smuggling of liquor.
In other words the force was 75 per cent^ rotten.
According to reports from other parts of the coun
try, that’s a fair percentage in the whole prohibition
organization. That’s what the “divine experiment” of
misguided reformers has done to the law enforcement
machinery of our government.

NT ROTTEN
HIGH TENSION WORRY
We country editors sometimes think that the
world goes badly with us but upon cairn reflection we
pity our poor benighted brothers of the Fourth Estate
who are editors of the big city dailies.
It's “Where in Heck is that copy boy? The Rab
bit is coming out in the next 20 minutes and we haven’t
got our front page made up yet. Here, copy desk, put a
full page spread on this. Yes, Mrs. Jones, I’ll refer you
to our society reporter.”
Its a merry game but a wearing one. The city ed
itor wf a big daily has the most tearing life of anyone
we know, not excepting the stoker who stands in front
of a furnace in a roaring steel mill. He gets it at the top
the bottom and all sides. He is never right. Always
wrong. He can't satisfy the boss, the managing editor,
the public or the advertiser's. His reporters fall down
on the job and he tears his hair. The newsies have got
to be on the streets every hour with a new edition. In
order to save the lives of some good men we know it
should resolve itself down to the publication only of coun
try towm papers, principally weeklies. Then editors would
have a chance to get fat.
Unprecedented liberality was shown by the late
Wilson E. Stroudt of Philadelphia whose will bequeath
ed to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles L. Stroudt “all
that parcel of land from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
everything thereon/’
Those old fellows who used to debate the slavery
question thought they had a real issue. But they had
never heard of prohibition.
We hear less of Congressional bloc than formally,
but there is no appreciable falling off in the number of
bloc heads.
