The anarchist, approaching America from foreign shores, should find closed and padlocked gates at the immigration station. There is but one suitable answer to the bomb throwing "argument": The death-chair or deportation for the bomb-thrower. There are persons yet living who are sure that there were more statesmen in this country, "once upon a time," than there are now. If each and every one lived up to what he knows about right living, this would be a better world. But it is a pretty good old planet as it is. Aerial passenger service between New York and Chicago in eight hours soon is to be established. Aeronautic wonders are multiplying so rapidly that the world ceases to marvel at them. Don't expect your New Year's resolution to be self-supporting the first few months after it is born. What infant can support itself at that age? Only two and one-half per cent of those who commit murders in Chicago are given the extreme penalty. It couldn't be much worse if penalties there were abolished altogether. Some of the critics profess to believe that the four-power Pacific entente is more in the nature of a mare's nest than a nest for the dove of peace. But perhaps they cannot BETTER ENFORCEMENT OF LAW NEEDED From Chicago, from parts of Oklahoma, from various and sundry localities in all sections of the country, comes earnest, indignant protest from the masses of law abiding citizenry that crime is being fostered and abetted by lax enforcement of laws. This complaint is so general, and seems to be so well grounded, that some specific and heroic measures manifestly are needed to ameliorate conditions that are first cousin to anarchy. Of what use are laws against murder if murderers are not detected and apprehended; and if, after arrest, they are not promptly indicted, convicted in spite of legal technicalities and punished as the heinousness of the crime deserves? Of what avail are statutes against burglary and highway robbery, if burglaries and robbers escape arrest, or if arrested, escape severe penalties? It is not laws with severe penalties that awe criminals, but the rigid unfailing enforcement to the letter of laws with severe penalties. The American people are not losing respect for law, but there is a lessening of respect for the way law is administered. There will not be that wholesome respect for and confidence in legal processes until it is demonstrated, in orderly course, year in year out, that these legal processes suffice to apprehend and punish, as they deserve, criminals of all types, without respect to persons or fortunes.

Miss Etheldra Bletbrey, of New York, world’s champion woman swimmer, was ordered off the beach there the other day because she was stockingless. Instead of her high position in the swimming world being of help to her, it made it all worse. For when the news spread about the sands that the particular girl over there playing baseball in her swimming togs was the famous champion, a dense crowd of swimming fans lined up along the board walk to applaud the ball game. The policeman was convinced that the crowd was attracted by bare knees in spite of everyone’s assurances that they were only paying homage to swimming medals. There is an entangled confusion of the evils of civilization and craveman times in the case of Edmund Varchetta, 162 South Fourth street, Brooklyn, who was haled into court for hitting his sweetheart on the head with his little hatchet. Ella J. Casey, the sweetheart in question, it seems, had played the very modern game of getting her flance to spend his entire savings and earnings in meeting her wishes and whims, and he, in turn, flung back a few thousand years in retaliation. "Seven thousand dollars I spent on her," he explained. "She made me buy strawberries at $4 a quart—and I did it." Naturally it made him impatient then, when the $7,000 was gone; to find her indifferent to his claims of marriage. The hatchet-hitting seemed to him not only legitimate but logical. New York’s young girls from eighteen to fifty-eight have all begun ironing and phosphoring, not to say vitilimizing. The druggists are wild with delight because young girls and miracle in tablet form. Who would think medicines could be popularized by the degradation of America’s breadstuffs? Captain Jack Weinheimer, of the Columbia University football team, still insists he has never kissed a girl. When he took the office of president of the newly formed Class of '22 Purity League, he did it upon the grounds that he had never smoked, drank, used profanity, nor kissed. (Why on earth people put appreciation of my sex into such an awful class I never have made out.) Up rose fellow class men and cried "We've seen him." The president finally admitted that he had smoked and had at times erred possibly in the direction of swearing and other minor sins, but kissing! "Never!" he cried with most uncomplimentary emphasis. Clare Kummer is so well established as a Broadway institution now that we just note her name as playwright and follow to the box office to be amused and stimulated with the cleverest of her treatment. "The Mountain Man," which has just opened at Maxine Elliott’s Theatre, is just as clever as the other Kummer products, with a more serious—too never heavy—touch. It is an attractive story of a rich young man rear-ended among crude mountainers, who is taken into captivity by a young Parisian girl, of considerably more sophistication and experience than he had expected to find in a woman he would ever love. Sidney Blackmer heads the case as Aaron Winterfield, the Mountain man. Miss Klummer has gone back to her, song writing days to the extent of putting two new ones, "Through All the World," and "Cut Down the Trees," into the play.

BUSINESS GOOD IN PACIFIC COUNTRY The apple crop of the Pacific coast states will be 50 per cent larger than last year, the monthly report covering November, of the Federal Reserve Bank of the Twelfth district indicates, Flour mills are operating at a capacity of 58.9 per cent against $4.7 a year ago. In the wholesale trade automobile tires, dry goods and furniture exceed in dollar sales the record of November, 1920. The decline in net sales of seven reporting lines, excepting agricultural implements and stationery, shows that a larger volume of merchandise is changing hands than a year ago. In the retail trade, with price declines of 15 to 25 per cent over November last year, sales averaged only 7.9 per cent less in dollars in the thirty-four department stores taken for the report. The decline of 5.8 per cent in sales of Novembera s compared with October is considered seasonal. Retail stocks are practically normal.

If it keeps it up much longer we will be floating, but that is not what I started out to tell you about. Back in Kansas City, where you can expect most anything, that well known bird, the stork, went wild, and this is what he left at one home: one perfectly good American citizen, so good that he was named after his father, five new terrifer puppies, six new Belgian hares, one new calf and three Maltese kittens. If would appear that Old Stork had an eye for business after all instead of just giving a promiscuous shower. The terriers will furnish protection for the new citizen, while the hares will furnish meat, the calf, milk and butter and the kittens, amusement. If all those new things would drop in on the Sprout family at once there sure would be some excitement. I don't want Old Stork to turn loose any thunder storms on the Sprout premises. It may be all right to have all those new things back in Kansas City, but we like to take things gradual out here. As ever—Sargum Sprout.
