JIMMIE WILDE
CALLED WINNER
But Decision Over Joe Lynch
Is Not Popular With
Sport Writers
BOUT WAS VERY
CLOSELY CONTESTED
Wilde Got One of the Worst
Gruellings He Ever
Received

London, April l.--None of the sport
ing reporters on London morning papers
frankly endorses the decision by which
Jimmie Wilde, the British fly weight
champion, defeated Joe Lynch, an Ameri-
can boxer, on points last night. While
some are content to say that the bout
was very closely contested, others do not
disguise their surprise, and mention sym
pathetieaIly the establishment with which
the decision was received by large part
of the spectators.
The Mails expert says he scored the
rounds carefully and at the finish pri-
vately decided that Lynch had won IL
and Wilde 4. He wants TO know, he
says, upon what the referees verdict was
based The Daily Sketch says; Many
experts will quarrel with the decision,
for Wilde got worse gruelling than he
did on the only occasion he has been
beaten in real contest"
This is reference to the defeat ad-
ministered to Wilde by Pal Moore of
Memphis, Tenn. in the inter-allie box
ing tournament, held in London on Dec.
IL and ~
The Sportsman declares Wilde was the
victor by very narrow margin, and
the Sporting Life suggests that the rul-
ing was due to the fact that Lynch held
a good deal and was warned in almost
every round, but this newspaper admits
'it was thought Lynch had just about
got there"

UNANIMOUSLY DRY
Chicago Evening POST

lon1CdSo Evening I osl1
The Supreme Courts decision up
holding the Wartime Prohibition act
leaves little room for argument and
less room for any hope entertained
by the vets.
To us the opinion, written by JUS
tice Brandeis, reads like strong COM
mon sense. The wet contentious are
met and overcome without resort to
legal techncalties.
The war is not at an end until a
treaty of peace has been ratified; the
powers of Congress to enact emer-
gency legislation are not impaired by
the cessation of hostilties; den1obili-
cation is not completed, either actu-
ally or technically; the owners of Ii
quor have not suffered any wrong.
So the law stands. 1t is obligatory
alike on state and federal govern
ments. 1t must be obeyed until such
time as peace is made and until de-
mobilization is proclaimed by the
commander in chief of the United
States forces--thc President.
The last hope of the wets---a faint
hope, indeed---lies i'll the possible rati-
hcation of the treaty before the pro-
hibitory amendment to thc Constitu-
ton becomes operative. A resolution
declaring the war at an end might
be effective, but this is questionable
for two reasons; First, it is mprob-
able the President would approve
such resolution; second, there re-
mains the matter of rehabilitation,
upon which only the President can
pass.

NOW WE KNOW WHERE
WE STAND

(Thes Chicago Herald Examiner)
Right or wrong, the decision of the
Supreme Court affirming the consti-
tutionality of the Wartime Prohibi-
ton act was blessing.
The questions raised in the appeal
to the Supreme Court were fair ques-
tons. In spite of their acquiescence
in the right of the government to cx-
ercise its powers, and the right of
the majority to rule, many people felt,
and probably will continue to feel,
that the Wartime Prohibition act
was conflscatory in its effect. They
believed, and still believe, that the
Prohibition amendment was intended
to offer an opportunity to the manu-
facturers of liquor to get rid of their
stocks before sales became illegal;
and that the enforcement of the war
time act denied this opportunity. =
Nevertheless, what the country
wanted was settlement of the issue.
We are the most adaptable people on
earth. 1t is our adaptability that has
made our long experiment in demoo-
racy successful Let us be sure what
the law is, and anything in reason
we will conform to.
But doubt and uncertainty arc for
us peculiarly difficult to endure.
Watch crowd waiting for train.
As long as they do not know when
the train will come they arc as rest
less as flies. But inform them def
nitely, even if it is only that the train
has been taken off, and they will
either settle down to wait or go off
about their business. as their indi-
vidual instincts tell them; but in any
case with very little gruinbling.
This country wanted Prohibition.
There is no more doubt of that than
OF the day of the week. Whether
particular localities, like Chicago, for
instance, wanted it is another matter.
They are ready to acquiesce in the
will of the majority.
Now that the Supreme Court has
spoken--and fortunately its decision
was unanimous-we know where we
stand; and whether reluctantly or tri-
umphantly, we will stand firm.

UNFOLDING THE LAW
(The Chicago Daily JournaD

cine chicago Daily Journal)
On Thursday, November 20 in an
article entitled, "Upholding the War
Power" the Journal said, editorially.
Without. endeavoring to anticipate
the decision of the Supreme Court i'll
the War Prohibition case, the Journal
calls attention to the wise patriotism
OF Judge Carpenter and other federal
jurists who have upheld the law, and
to the folly or perfdy of attorneys
who sought to have it upset in the
federal district courts.
"The attack of the liquor interests
was nothing less than an assault on
the war-making power of the Con-
gress of the United States.
IF a wartime liquor measure of
Congress can be set aside by any one
OF the lower federal courts. why not
a wartime revenue measure, or a
draft act, or an espionage act" :.
There does not seem to be much
to add to that month-old comment,
save the fact that the Supreme Court,
by unanimous vote, upheld the War
Prohibition law, and therefore in
creased many fold the force of the
Journals objections to the attitudes
of liquor lawyers and one or two of
the lower courts.

time Prohibition are of no importance

A Column of Dry Humor
The Anti-Onion League

Washington, Jan. 16.-That the
Twentieth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition is living law and not mere
moral statute was proven here today
when the Supreme Court handed down
a decision that once for all settled the
point.
Hereafter anyone using onions or
garlic in the raw state i'll any state
will be liable to a fine of $1,000 or
Imprisonment for one year or both.
This marks a decided victory for
the Anti Onion League and defeat for
the vegetable interests who, it is said,
spent much money to fight the new
amendment. They failed as the liq-
uor interests and the tobacco inter
ests before them.
The enforcement bill, drawn up by
Representative Miss Lily o. Valley,
presidentof the Anti-Onion League, is
said to be whopper with teeth in it.
1t provides for the appointment of
10000 deputies or onion smellers who
will be keen on the scent of law
breakers. This law is most compre-
hensive and includes scallions and
chives as we'll as garlic.
The state of Maine has secured the
first conviction under the law, upheld
by the state courts. Mike Pagiacci
was convicted of garlic in the first de-
gree. When his premises were
searched large quantity of onion
sets was discovered in his cellar. A
suspicious looking cold frame was also
found. 1t is said that he planned to
raise a crop of early spring scallions.
St. Louis, Mo.--Jim Hokum, the To-
cal chief depty, raided wholesale
florist this afternoon and found a
crate of onions packed away among
his stock, which he sold as narcissus
bulks at 81 bulb. The federal au-
thorities are on the lookout for spe-
cial consignment of tulips" from Ber-
muda.
Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 15.--A west
ern agricultural expert claims to
have found substitute for onion. II

kick, but leaves no fumes behind it
