a Law WIN teeth ln n.

The enabling bill that is to put the
sharp edge into the enforcement Of
national prohibition is the subject of
interesting discussion daily IN tho
House Judiciary committee. Enough
Information filters though tn ne,
hole of the committees closed door 10
chow that the prohibitionists are in
control and there is no mercy to tenn
per justice for the Hon. John ]. Bar.
leycorn IN that august body. The bill
has teeth in it, aud one of It's provi-
sions. II It prevails to the end, will
require everybody who has hidden
away anything from quart to a car
load against the long drought, and for
his stomachs sake, must file an inven.
tory with the government within ten
days after the law goes into effect.
These reports shall be open to any
body who has the curiosity to go and
demand to see them. Doubt is ex.
pressed whether, in the end, Congress
will swallow this particular section.
There Is talk at the Capitol by some
that time is going to far I'M an inva-
sion OF the strictly private business of
individual citizens. Phe hackers OF
the bill, which is credited to the au-
thorship of the legal branch of the
Anti-Saloon League, accept no more
readily that criticism of their bandi-
work than any Of the numerous others
offered. And the League, from evi.
dence accumulated in the not distant
and more recent past, appears to be
able TO run things to suit itself in and
about Congress. They are intent on
having search and seizure in all its
latest forms and subtle twists, and
will doubtless be strong enough to
override all opposition Cider, 1t Is
reported on the outside of the COM
mtttee, and upon Trustworthy author
ity, comes under the ban, also Col.
Bryan's highly recommended thirst
slaker,1g grape juice. Critics of the bill
say tfat II is crammed so full of tyran-
lees that It makes the personal iiber.
ty clause of the venerable Constitution
look like gentle order from the firm
of Lenine & Trotsky. 1t provides for
a large appropriation and an army OF
dry spies and espionage workers. The
government, the critics of the bill say,
Is to be forced to take over the divi-,
sions and regiments of Anti-Saloon
League payrollers. They predict dire
troubles in the country when the law
gets squared away and in working or.
der. It is Of local interest In West
Virginia that. In the consideration OF
this bill in the committee, Represen-
tatiye Wells Goodykoontz, OF the Fifth
district, is taking leading part and,
although, he is on the dry end of the
dilemma, he is more independent and,
less fanatical in shaping the bill to
meet conditions than are some Of his
colleagues on that body.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June %
When the present Congress convened.
In the first week, the partisan de5at-
ers went TO the mat on the burning
question which party was TO blame for
he failure Of the appropriation bills
in the final. agonized days Of the Con-
gress preceding this one. That Is OBJ
solete now. Whichever party was 10
blame, II either was, no one cares tn
revive as a subject for discussion:
most assuredly no one on tho minority
side. II Is too apparent to the country
that whoever was TO blame then GER
tainly deserves the high praise and a
collection OF honorary crosses from
the taxpayers OF the country. Those
selfsame appropriation bills have been
cut to the quick by the present Con-
gress. Thus far over billion dollars
have been Topped of OF them, and be-
fore many days the total saving al
ready made will amount to a billion
and a half. And the good work for
and In behalf of economy goes on with
no sign OF letup. Although It caused
some Inconvenience to many persons
when the appropriation bills OF the last
session got caught in the legislative
loEjam, 1t proved TO be blessing to
the taxpayers in the end-and the far
limit OF the end is not yet In sight.

w. Va. PLAYS ala Para,

In postal affairs the state of West
Virginia plays no small part. On the
House committee on postoffices and
post roads there is Representative
woodward, and on the same committee
in the Senate and the state has repre-.
sentation in the person of Senator Elk
ms But that is not all. The assistant
clerk OF the Senate committee, whose
duties are that of the clerk, who is
secretary to Senator Townsend and is
fully engaged with the duties of that
position, is another West Virginian.
F., II. McDermott. He is a native OF
Wheeling, but has lived In Washing
ton for many years. He was with the
elder Senator Elkins, later with Rep
resentative Bowers, when the latter
was United States Fish Commission
err, and still later with Senator Nathan
Con as private secretary. He owes his
present important position to Senator
Townsend, of Michigan. There is no
more important committee than this
IS. The rights and welfare of many
thousands of government employees, to
say nothing OF the more numerous pa
trons-the general public-are In the
keeping OF this committee in both
branches of the Congress. The pos
tai employees In West Virginia feel
that they have two staunch supporters
and protectors at court in the persons
Of Messrs. Elkins and woodward. And
so they have. Mr.. woodward was this
week appointed chairman of a sub.
committee having in direct charge par.
eel post business.
