sent out for American consumption.
The real issue is whether Rome shall
run Mexico or the government in
Mexico set up for that purpose. Calles
is warning Mexico and the civilized
world that loyalty to the Mexican
government is needed in Mexico.
A church full of priests who have
for three hundred vears preached loy.
alty to Rome first, of course, is not
going to permit the Mexican govern
ment to require loyalty ahead of the
Catholic cliureh, The real trouble in
Mexico hag been that the Roman
church jas been ahead in all things.
The Mexican state has not leretofore
koown the loyaity of those ruled by
the Romap church, Now it is an is.
sue and Rome hge orderag the priests
to figot for Roman control.
Modern Mexico wants separution

ting up a national banking system
which is both faithfully meeting n.i
nancial obligations, paying interest on
the nation’s bonded debt, and xlvlng‘
agriculture a heads.up program in
the whole country,
The Catholic church up to this
good hour has through the manipula.
tions of Rome and the priests, largely
owned the wealth of Mexico. That
has held Mexico in slavery to the
Roman church. Calles and his gov
ernment are making heroic efforts to
rid the country of this baneful thing,
Even the lands in many sections be.
long to the Catholic church and so
poor are the lower classes that they
cannot have a church marriage and
ever in a whole life time pay the
priegts what they charge for this
vital necessity in the social order,
It is pitiful to read of the thousands
upon thousands of Mexican families
who have wanted lawful marriage but
never had it because the priests of
the Roman church have never wanted
to make it possible for them to have
#uch beginning of the Mexican home.
It is hard to believe that the Mexican
has to go without marriage, but lt%
i 8 sBO. Good Americans who have
‘gone down into that country and
made the Investigations long before
this crisis came, have come out and
reported these things and many more
as bad. ; : ,
The Mexican government is not as
brutal ax it is reported in some
sources now. It is trying to climb
ahove biutality and lawlessness, It
is trying to sB¢t up a government that
will insure the right of property to
the individual and the home that is
protected by a government apart and
independent of the Roman helrarchy.
There lies all the trouble. Separa
tion of church and state is what
Mexico is fighting for. Every Ameéri
can ought to be hopeful that thlsl
will come, for it is the genius of
thé Amerfcan government. |
LIQUOR BOYS BEATEN
Rum runners are picking berries
and hoeing potatoes, while the decks
of their slim, swift craft, once piled
high with smuggled liquor, are daily
buried beneath caches of fish and
clams,
There ig virtually no ridicule any
more of the government's attempt to
‘ntop rum smuggling in Sandy Hook
‘ waters,
~ 'The percentage turned against the
rum runner when the first Coast
'Guard boaty capable of fifty-two miles
)u hour were put into service. A
doszen fast chasers, of one kind or an
other, are on duty and seven of them
keep nightly vigil over tha short
stretch between Sandy Hook and Fort
Wadsworth,
The liquor boys admit their day
has passed and every illdi(‘ali&l sup
ports them, Many of their boats are
now used in the fishing trade, others
are idle and some abandoned,
Boat yards in Leonardo, Keans
burg, Belford and Highlands, no long
er hum with "activity, Single screw
pleasure craft are taking form on the
ways but there is no hurried demand
for yachts with Liberty engines and
triple screws,
Time was when any old boat with
a “one.lunged” engine was good
enough for the Jersey fisherman, To
day he operates the speedy craft left
over from the days when the “hoys”
made four 'lripn a week to Rum Row.
Leonardo Lagoon is quiet at nights.
There is no sputtering of speed boats
in and out of the quill marshes and
heavy trucks no longer idle or rum-.
ble on «ida roads. Belford creek,
once o thrving artery of the liquor
front, is not distrurbed by one boat
a 4 night,
Many of the rum runners tried their
hand at gambling before they went
back to fisling and hoeing. One of
the big opevators multiplied his proi
its wuny times in Florida, wnd an.
other has taken up quarters in the
Bahamas, but with the profits of most
of the others it was a case of “easy
}come easy go."” i
THE LANGLEY CASE
~ There is something pathetic in the
Langley case. The husband, a form.-
er Kentucky congressman, is serving
out a two-year term in the Atlanta
penitentiary for conspiracy in connec.
tion with liquor withdrawals from
warehouses in plain violation of the
laws of th.e land, His wife has offer.
ed for his place in congress and has
‘won the nomination. Now he claims
ivindlcatlon-—bul is it vindication? He
iwns a member of the greatest law
making body in the land when he de.
liberately manifested his disrespect
and disobedience,
Whether he wanted the liquor law
"or not—whether he is in sympathy—
it is law, and he held a place which
should have caused him to stand
tirm against any jndividual manifesta
tion of disrespect, at least so far as
ilt implicated him in any overt acts,
He went to the pen as an outlaw,
doubtless because he did not believe
in the liquor law and was not dis
posed to respect it. He is not an
outlaw—just a man with a mistaken
view of respect for the law,
When a measure is law, then the
citizen should obey. 1f the law is un
just, it may be put aside, but so long
as it is law, such men as those hold
ing high places should be more care
ful than was Mr. Langley, We are
not condemning him because he was
opposed to the prohibition measure.
We think hig great mistake was to{
ignore the law. Certainly he might
have expected that the violations in
which he was engaged would draw
tire. He might have expected prose
cution. And he should not have es

important to be reached, |
Those who refuse to ohey may he
sure that somewhere they wiil be
classed as outlaws. Indeed, those
who murder because they hold no
human life as worth anything might
claim that the law against murder
is unjust and should be put away.
That is doubtless the attitude of the

PREVENTING HORSES AND
. HOGS FROM OVERHEATING
The Progressive Farmer:
The horses and hogs both re
quire some attention to prevent heat
stroke or overheating. It is astonish
ing how easily a fat hog not ac
customed to much exercige is killed
by a little exertion and excitement.
If the hogs remain quiet in the
shade, they will get along without
water or mud to wallow in, If the
shade is good and the circulation of
air free, it is probable that the hogs
will get along better than if allowed
to wallow in a filthy mud hole, but a
reasonably clean or sanitary hog
wallow is good for hogs in hot weath
er. Wallowing vats which may be
cleaned out and filled with fresh
water often make a paradise for the
hogs in hot weather,
Many horses and mules are killed
or their future usefulness much re
duced by overheating every summer.
The hog does not sweat much
through the skin, hence the neces
sity for quiet, shade, and water to

PULL up a chair and pull out the papers.
Borrow a thimbleful of Prince Albert and
roll one of the grandest cigarettes you
ever smoked. Better still, buy yourself a
tidy red tin of good old Prince Albert,
because you’re going to need a supply
of it. Yes, Sir!
The first thing you notice is how easily
this tobacco rolls. No fuss or muss. No
fluttering to the floor in a waste of time,
temper and tobacco. That’s because
Prince Albert is crimp-cut and stays put
in the papers while you're rolling it.
Ideal makin’s, Men!
keep him sufficiently cool, but the‘
horse sweats freely and thcreforc;
nis body temperature is kept down
even when working hard on a hot dayl
by the evaporation of sweat or
moisture from his skin. If anyone
does not believe that the evapora
tion of moisture from the surface
of the body keeps its cool, let him
wet his arm or any other part of
the body not accustomed to exposure
and then wave his arm through the
air or stand in a draft and he will
be convinced.
The lesson from this is that as long
as the horse is sweating freely there
is little danger of overheating, un
less the work is severe to the point
of exhaustion. When the horse or
mule at hard work on a hot day
stops sweating and pants severely,
danger has already arrived and h 2
should be stopped at once, taken to
the shade, his body rubbed with
rough cloths, and cold water applied
