Noah had Of checking the flood. And
it will be remembered that Noah took
things as they came, including 40 days
and nights of dampness.
If Mr.. Volstead could see his act IN
operation along the borderland, he'd
have it rewritten by George Nj.
Conan. Cohan could at least put a
little life in the act. But as 1t stands
now, it has,all the qualities of sieve.
The Volstead law acts only as a, pro-
tective tariff for American-made
booze. 1t has lifted the price Of
Canadian Club whiskey to SIS quart
in the United States, at which price
the American retailers are now I'M
loading their own stuff.
The collector figures he could stop
the whole works with four special
men whose job would be to halt
motor traffic. There will never be
any way devised Of cutting off men
who might carry the stuff over the
border by various trails through the
woods. But checking the auto traffic
would put the main crimp in the rum
rings operations.
However little that number may
seem, it looks too big for the gov
eminent to bother with. 1t has taken
practically no steps to halt hooch
runners since the Volstead act went
into effect, and 50 far as indications
go, there is no splotch on the rum
rings horizon.-Neal r. O'Hara in

support Of a bone dry plank for the
Democratic platform, the commoner
turned the convention almost upside
down late this afternoon with the
magnetism and force of his oratory
and started one of the greatest and
noisest demonstrations the assembly
has yet seen.
When Bryan had concluded his re-
ply to the advocates of wet plank
the demonstration cut loose on the
floor and wholly unaided by the
band or the organ or any of the
other instrumentalities which had
been effectively used to keep other
demonstrations going, it proceeded
spontaneously and resisted all efforts
to get the convention back to order

light at the edge of the speakers

coursing down his cheeks. reviewed
procession of prohibition enthusiasts
who tore up state standards and
started a moving column of delegates
about the hail. There was more than
one fight over whether a state standard
ticularly spectacular battle reigned
around possession Of the California
standard. When Mrs. George c.
Ormsby of Oakland attempted to car
ry the standard into the demonstration
a number of men attempted to prevent.
Among them was an assistant sergeant
at arms. Francis j. Henry pounded
on the man and threw him into the
crowd All that remained OF the stand

away was a tattered part Of the paste
board top which once had borne the
letters of the state name. Alabamas
standard suffered q similar fate and
the bits were triumphantly borne

During the demonstration someone
bore the standard of Bryan's home
state to the platform and, reaching

rest, while the crowd roared
Finally after the crowd had been
quoted, Chairman Robinson recog-
nized Sen. Glass to defend the COM

The convention had been in session
an even seven hours when Sen. Glass
began his speech.
The negotiations among some of
the candidate managers for recess
after disposition of the platform and
to proceed to balloting for a nominee

be making much progress.

UnirersaI Military
Training Urged as
Preparedness Asset

To the Editor of the Tribune:
Sir: The late Theodore Roosevelt
believed firmly in universal military
training for the schools. The need Of
it has been brought to our attention
more than ever by the slaughter in
large numbers Of our men, in the recent
war, because of unpreparedness
Universal military training is a
means Of preparedness and prepared
ness is the greatest asset there is in
maintaining peace. Theodore Roose-
Welt was man OF preparedness and
made use OF it, as far as possible, dur
ing his term of office as President.
When leaving the Presidential chair he
said: During my administration not
a shot has been fired on foreign soil"
This is sufficient proof that preparedness
is means Of maintaining peace.
General Leonard Wood is another firm
believer in universal military training.
The Republican party would do well
to heed the advice of those two fine
Americans and stand for the universal
Military training as an element Of true
Anericanism.

u. S. Remains Hearty.
Needs No UpI,eaual
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I believe it is the duty of the
voters Of the United States to seize
this opportunity to limit the power
Of the obstructionists-the men who
are forever striving to destroy the
equilibrium Of these United States.
BY this ono must not infer that a
legislator must sacrifice his consti-
tutional right to probe and discuss
measures which affect the welfare
OF the country in order to escape
being called an "obstructionist."
The people should seek to nomi-
nate men who are fundamentally
altruistic. Of course, we all know
that in democracy man with self
ish motives is likely to gain Office
on most any platform. Neverthe-
less, tho majority Of the voting pub
lie is sufficiently aware Of the i'm
portance of the task of selecting
chief executive and should use its
usual common sense in seeing that
the right kind of man is elected. The
United States needs no reorganiz-
ing. True, it has been shaken by
the colossal convulsion Of 1914; its
administration has proved it's in
adaptability. But the United States
as whole is unscathed. It is tho
same old hearty United States of
America. ERIC W. WALROND.

To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Day after day read "We be-
lieve, we desire, stand for. advocate,
declare. suggest, favor, urge, recog-
nize," etc. Too mild. As one contribu-
tor aptiy puts it-"mild platitudes
that give no oTense." The strongest
language I have discovered so far i
r.We promise" ard 1--WE pledge" But
why not go further and say how il il
to be done and how soon?
There undoubtedly will be plank
on Americanism. This must state
clearly and Enthusiastically what is
meant by Americanism. If this plank
is expressed in vague language thas
viii fit many interpretations it will
be regarded as plain bunk some
thing to befog the real issues and pull
the wool over our eyes.
When ] read over the Republican
platform would like to find thss

Truth Wanted
in All Affairs
OF Government
Unmuzzle Lansing and Let
Him Tell What He Knows.
Demand Made ON Wilson
and Democrat Followers
People Want Publicity
Republicans Asked to Re-
fute Charges of Self
ishly Obstructing League

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Before any Of US are fitted to
prepare planks for any political plat
form We need little moro accurate
information about the real truth in
homo and foreign affairs. Therefore,
since most Of us form our opinions
through what is printed in the daily
press, l earnestly recommend that the
fullest publicity be given to all nation
al and international measures in which
we are concerned. II facts are alarm
ing 30 much the greater necessity for
making them known in a calm and un-
prejudiced fashion, that the mass Of
citizens be aroused to act on them in
telligently.
My sympathies have always been
with the Republican party, but before
1t can receive my undivided support it
must cleanse itself from the stain of
the obstruction Of the passage of the
treaty for so many months. The party
should wake up to the fact that the
treaty and the league Of nations stand
for the only bright spot in a devas-
tating war
Mr.. Wilson has commanded our SYM
pathy and approval, because, so far as
We could see, he has been clinging fast
to an ideal we approve, in spite of ap-
parent mistakes and handcaps. In this
is bad treaty, if the league Of ma
tions is mischievous and decep-
tive sugar coating to make credulous,
idealistic people swallow bitter pill,
let US know the truth. Let Mr.. Lansing
be unmuzzled and tell us what he
knows.
The idea that Republican leaders are
obstructing the passage Of the treaty
for personal and political reasons is
so widespread that believe they can
not hope for success until they cleanse
themselves from this suspicion
note that in your suggestions the
problem Of Bolshevism receives capital
letters for its two nouns; education re-
ceives tiny, uncapitalized place in
Improvement Of health and education" !"
If the Republican party will make
education Of paramount national i'm
portance. will create a national system
by which self-respecting men can make
1t not only profession but a liveli-
hood. the problem Of Bolshevism will
be solved. MARY L. Osborn

10 OF Unemployment Pointed Out AS Countrv's Nee]
To-Day's Prize Letter

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sirt One Of your correspondents
has suggested compulsory naturaliza-
tion of aliens under penalty Of depor-
tation as means Of inculcatinr ps-
triotism.
However laudablc may be the mo-
tive inspiring advocacy Of such
methods, it fails to take account Of
the 'ihdividuavs psychological aver
sion TO supposed benefits that are
thrust upon him. In the case Of the
honest, simple immigrant this natu.
raj reaction would undoubtedly manf
fest itself very definitely, and instead
OF loyalty. distrustful suspicion Of
our government would be tho out
come.
1t is far more effective to represent
citizenship as a goal worth striving
