Contemporary Thought
—
an QBPRECEDENTED outbreak
A prohibition enforcement organisation of the federal
* government has occurred during the past few day*,
with Senators Borah and Norris leading the assaults
of the militant dry* on the work now being done under
the general direction of Secretary Andrew Mellon of
- the Treasury Department. Senator Norris demands the
resignation of Secretary Mellon on the ground that he
,1s not interested in the enforcement of the prohlbtton
laws, and fHimim Borah complains bitterly of the
failure of the administration to eloee the open saloons,
all over the country. Meanwhile, a feeble defense of j ,t
the administration is voiced by Senator Jtmes of
Washington, who fives assurance that “The President
will remove quickly any man In a responsible official
potion Who he Is convinced Is not doing his duty, and
« put m a wm who to turn will remove any unfaithful
subordinate as soon as such unfaithfulness is shown."
\r • in the meantime, more trouble has been piled up
l \ lor the administration by a battle between coast guards
'■ - and mm runners. In which three smugglers were shot
> * and killed. There probably will be an investigation of
this affair.
WHAT MAKES t’8 PROSPEROUS
Julius Klein in New Ttork Times:
The following are baste conditions that
constantly for prosperity la America.
Natural teidowmequ in minerals, fertile soil,
navigable rivers and lake* forest ranges and climate.
The willing habit of fork that characterises the |
American people as a wheje.
Individual initiative, equality of opportunity and
lack of class or group dorrt nation.
The belief of bustaeu'tn Individualism, as an In-
centive to invention, praluction and special effort.

- Widespread schooling. Potentially good minds

WASHINGTON—The .senator from Idaho; Mr.
Borah. , always has taken It for granted that his
ancestors weir Irish. And while he has never gone out
of his way to trace his genealogy, he gets a quiet
satisfaction out of the fact
Now he has Just discovered something new and
interesting about his ancestry. He can claim a former
king of Bohemia as one of his forebears.
It Is all news to Borah. The discovery was not thefj
result of his efforts or of any one to the family. The
editor of a small paper has the honor.
H. E. Roethe of the Fennimore. Wisconsin, Times,
sent the Idaho senator a genealogical report showing
that one of his ancestors was a Bohemian king.
It seems that the Borahs were formerly Bohemians.
The kingly ancestor wss dethroned to a revolution in
his country, ftod to Germany and then went to France.
There one of his daughters married a prince of

unusual is the one to be seen to the house of repraaea-

LETTER-WRITER
When Taylor Gordon started his
concert tours several years aao he
found that a singer cf hU race is a
lonely stranger in most American
clues. There was seldom anybody
who attempted to ent**rtain him. If
there had been. Gordon might not
now be an author as well as singer.
TO pass the time. Gordon would
roatp the city and then write let-
ters about wfiat V saw. sending
them back home tq Harlem.
Eventually Oordoti made his first
European tour. By that time his
acquaintances included Carl Van
Vechten. Muriel Draper and other
White New Yorkers.
And so. in Paris, when he was
puzzled by a strange "bathroom fa-
