compared with the preceding year, for the last under
graduate generation The tendency would seem to be
more than in direct ratio the decrease of intern

has been the result of wholesome change in attitude
although such agencies the Y M c. A. and faculty
supervision have undoubtedly had their effect

to the life of the bill His objections were overrued
by Speaker Clark and the change was made
When this bill under consideration the argu-
ment of Mr.. Mann that the national government
was supreme and the liquor traffic interstate COM
merce must not be ntererred with by the states Now
Mr. Manns reasoning has changed and the states are
supreme. The national government through the Hob
son amendment must interfere with states rights
1t anomalous situation for the leader of the party
which was born in the great conflict to preserve hui
man rights to stand sponsor for the most vicious of
special interests throwing about these interests the
frayed out garments of states rights.
But what is the relationship of the states to the
liquor traffic? There are few if any states which de-
rive any revenue from licensing the liquor traffic. al
though under their laws they permit individual GOV
ornamental units to license it. But the state itself draws
illinois, It is the national government that is in the
license business; it is the national government that
carries the keys to dsteres and whisky warehouses;
it orbids gallon of whisky be withdrawn from the
warehouse without government agent being pres
en; it prevents the dstil1er himself from enter
ing his warehouse without a representative of
the government accompanying him.
Senator Sheppard said "The national government
IS much in the liquor business as if its senators and
representatives had white aprons and tended bar"
The dissolving of the governments relation to
the liquor traffic is national question: and now comes
James r. Mann from the Hyde Park District of Chi
cago and says this government relationship must not
be interfered with.
he people of his district should write him and
ask him to refrain from again becoming candidate
for Congress.

Congressman Mann the Champion of Bootleggers

Congressman Mann the Champion OF Booteggers
Congressman James R. Mann, of the Second
Congressional district used all his powers to prevent
the Webb-Kenyon bill coming to vote in the last
Congress. Conditions which prevailed before the
passage OF this bill repugnant to right conditions
AMI in view of Mr.. Manns vote OH the recent Hobson
BILL referring again to his vote and his line
of reasoning the Webb-Kenyon bill. His reason
ing this matter Numerically opposite his
reasoning on Tic Hobson amendment.
The Webb-Kenyon Bill.
The Webb-Kenyon bill withdrew government
protection liquor as an article of interstate COM
and left the states free enforce their prohb-
itory laws. In other words, it did nothing but with
draw government protection and help from blind pigs
and bootleggers. 1t vehementy op-
posed by the brewers and distiers and it took twelve
years to get it to vote in Congress.
Congressman Mann opposed it all the way until
it reached the open when he voted for it. President
Taft vetoed the BILL alleging that it was unconstitu-
tional. Mr.. Mann voted to uphold President Taft's
veto but the members of Congress voted overwhelm-
ingly in both branches to pass it the veto.
1t is interesting to note that the liquor interests
have not carried to the supreme court, though
the act is playing havoc with their trade.
Until the Webb-Kenyon bill enacted into law
a distier in PEORIA for instance could ship carload
of whisky to Wichita, Kansas, unload and haul it
through the streets in broad daylight, and if Kansas
officials objected the dstier could call upon the
tonal government to stop the states interferences
with interstate In this way the state pro-
hibitory laws overridden with the full protection
of the United States government.
Mr.. Mann not only did nothing to help those who
trying to correct this infamous abuse but he
did all he could to hinder and prevent the passage of
remedial legislation. On February 7, 1913 he voted
against special rule to allow vote the above
bill. After the bill passed the senate he objected to
vote in the house to change the number of the bill
from the house number to correspond with the senate
number. This was mere technically but it was vital
