VOTE ON LIQUOR
MAY Be GRANTED
DISTRICT PEOPLE
Representatives Are I'm
willing to Decide Pro-
hibition Question for
Washington.

There is a strong probability that the
District OF Columbia viii be confronted
in the near future with the unusual
spectacle OF all its men walking up to
the ballot boxes and casting their votes
Ike citizens Of any other city in this
country.
This probability arises from the aver
sion OF many members of Congress to
deciding whether Washington shall be
dry town.
Substantial evidence Of this feeling on
the part of members was given today
when Representative John Lamb, Of
Virginia, introduced a bill providing
that the people OF the District Of Co
iumbia be given the privilege of vOt-
ing on The liquor question.
Election Every Two Years.
The Lamb bill provides this special
election shall be held every even year
OF the day of the regular elections
throughout the country. in the first
week of November. 1t gives the suffrage
right 10 every citizen of the District
Of Columbia over twenty-one years Of
age.
Taking their cue from Commissioner
AldcLarlt-nd'S suggestion that the people
OF the District should be allowed 10
vote on the question Of prohibition.
many members are anxious to put UPON
the citizens the responsibility OF settling
the matter
One Of these Representatives said
today.
I am an Prohibition man. but
see no justice IN letting a body Of mon
Who live everywhere but IN Washing
ton decide by their votes a question so
thoroughly local as the prohibition
problem. Members Of Congress nat
urally vote IN a way that reflects the
OPINIONS Of the constituents. WHY
should the people in d. Int States have
2 hand in deciding this matter for the
District OF Columbian
Keep Opinions to Themselves.
Members are at present chary Of al
lowing themselves TO be quoted on pro-
hiDition, for the adherents OF both sides
besiege them as soon as they announce
their views.
one Representative. however. made
this suggestion:
The arrangements FOR voting cor1d
be made. Undoubtedly there would be
universal suffrage for all men over
IWenty-One years Of age. This vould be
the surest way TO secure the opinion Of
the entire population. The election
judges and all the election machinery
could be supplied by the District COM
miSsioners.
Prohibition IS live issue. and Il
cCnfrOnts the people Of washington
right now / believe the leaders Of pub
nc opinion are in favor Of submitting
the question 10 a popular vote"
Samuel w. Smith. the new District
Committee chairman in the House. said.
AS yet, I am open TO argument on
al propositions regarding the question
If the people want to vote on Il. they
can say so before the District Commit

To Mend Rubbers.

'People don't commonly know" said
a rubber salesman, that overshoes can
be mended, the same as shoes When
the break is slight one, or merely a
crack between the upper and the sole, II
pays to have this done. Most places
that sell rubber overshoes do this
mending.
Rubber shoes are made much lighter
in weight than they used to be, and
this may make them more likely to
crack. The process of mendlng is a
simple one and many people throw old
overshoes aside simply because they
don't know they can be repaired"

Not an Intelligence "Bureau.'

A well-known Indiana man says that
some years ago, when the late Gen.
Lew Wallace was serving as Governor
of New Mexico, he shipped home to In
diana a carload of curios to his friends.
The collection consisted mainly of box
es of minerals, furs, Indian blankets
and beadwork, and with them went a
Mexican burro intended for neigh
boris child as pet.
When the car reached its destination
the freight agent, in checking up the
contents of the car, misunderstood the
word "burro," and thinking that it was
the phonetic attempt Of some illiterate
railroader to spell bureau" was I'M
able to find any piece of furnitbre on
hand to fit the bill of lading. So, ac-
cording to railway custom in the mat
ter of Irregularities, he promptly tele-
back to the shipping point:
"Car 3S,492, Albuquerque consigned
Wallace, arrived, minus one bureau,
plus one jackass, Please trace and no
tify."
Gen. Wallace himself dictated fhe re-
ply: Change places with jackass. -
