Two-thirds OF New York Stale al
ready was dry by local option"
Two Points of Attack Sull.
Two main points of attack
upon the eighteenth or prohibi-
ton amendment stll remain to be
made by the anti-prohibition forces,
according TO Hugh Fox, secretary of
the United States Brewers association
here. The United States supreme
court, he says, will adjudicate them.
They are:
First whether congress has the
right to define an "intoxlcating bev-
erage. and second, a decision as to
the scope and meaning of the provl-
sion that congress and the several
states shall have concurrent powers
to pass appropriate legislation for en-
forcement"
'If the supreme court" he said,
SHOULD finally uphold the right of
congress to establish a definition of
one-half Of one per cent for the pur-
pose of enforcing national prohibition
and that the states have no power in
the matter, the effect would be to put
cider and many so-called soft
drinks under the ban.
Meanwhile" said Mr.. Fox, the
enforcement measure, which is now
known as the national prohibition act,
will, if sustained by the courts. de-
prive accused persons of trial by
Jury and make them prove their in
nocence No physician will be able
to prescribe alcohol in any form with
out submitting to veXatious regula-
lions which will take so much time
and trouble that busy doctor could
not afford TO be bothered with them.
Draws Dark Picture,
Mr.. Fox predicts that regulations to
carry out the provisions of the act
would prohibit the selling of appli-
ances for home brewing or distilling
and that "it is even doubtful II the
farmer will be able to turn his own
apples into cider. his own grapes into
wine or his small fruits into cordials.'
Mr.. Fox contended that the federal
amendment specifically prohibits in
toxicating beverages" and this was
ratified by the states with the under
standing that it meant Intoxicating
liquors and nothing else.
"Whether the amendment can now
be enlarged and extended by congress
under the guise of a definition, is one
of the issues which will have to be
adjudicated by the supreme court, he
said. together with the scope and
meaning of the provision that the
congress and the several states shall
have concurrent power to pass appro-
pirate legislation for the enforcement
Of national prohibition"
Mr.. Fox paid his respects to the
Anti-saloon league by declaring that
'in opposing every attempt of the
people to vote on the question of pro-
hibition" it had Completely reversed
its first declaration of principles OF
Americanism and democracy"
Blames Anti-saloon League.
THE Anti-saloon league" he said
'began its campaign for state and
national prohibition about twenty
years ago They started and con-
tinued under the cover of the slogans

taLan under advisement by the repuo-
licans Before the negotiations arr
concluded, it is expected that tofmani
drafts of compromise proposals VIII
be brought forth. -
Eailure of the democratic caucus 10
select a leader today, according 10
supporters of both senators Hltcheock
and Underwood, is not expected 10
have any immediate effect on lhf
treaty questions. .,.,,,
senator Underwood, Immediately
after the caucus, announced that re
gardless of the final result senator
Hitchcock would continue to handle
the treaty for the minority with ms
loyal support. Senator simmons, 4
Hitchcock supporter, also stated that
the Nebraska senator would continue
in charge of the treaty on the demo-
cratic side. ...,,,,
Mr. BRYAN in a talk with newspaper
men emphasized his belief that
large majority OF tie American people
desire immediate ratification. Prompt
action, he said, would accomplish
these two results:
First, il would take the question
out of politics and permit both
parties to turn their attention to very
important domestic issues. Second.
an agreement would permit ratifica-
ton by a larger majority than in any
other ways and that would give the
greatest possible weight to our acuon
and influence abroad"
His previously expressed suggestion
that the democrats of the senate with =
hold their votes and let the repubil-
cans ratify the treaty with Their re-
servations, Mr.. Bryan said, should on
" be a last resort if compromise ne
gotiations failed.
IAN appeal could be made to the
country" he continued, ito reNerst'
in the league of nations, any action
taken by the senate and to authoriAe
restoration of any provisions stricken
out. And, in my opinion, the demo-
cratic party could make much more
successful fight before the people for
authority to restore than it can for
authority to retain provisions, II II
must share responsibility with the re-
publicans for fourteen months delay
II believe we can put the republl-
can party on the defensive by propos-
ing an immediate compromise, II com
promise is possible, and. second, by
throwing the responsibility Of the Se-
publcans for immediate action II
compromise is impossible"
Asked whether he believed the pres
ident would approve n compromise Sc,
of reservations, Mr.. Bryan answered
II do not know that anybody is al
thorized to say what the president
will accept and / don't think it is fan
to ask in advance what he will accept
on him TN phanpnG that
would put him where he might be ac-
cused of breach of faith"

THE strategy of the league was first
TO win the rural states and then 10 sti-

league has fought bitterly against Civ

German Taxicabs a Torment.

Present-day German taxicabs were
not primarily designed to stimulate
the liver; but after hitting few rough
spots one is left with a distinct i'm
preston that they exist solely to shake
up the internal organs, writes Ken
meth l.. Roberts in the Saturday Eve
ming Post.
AS for their meters, they can be read
properly only with the assistance of
slide rule and a table of lOgarithms.
Each meter possesses seven clocks
one for the passenger, one for extra
passengers, one for luggage, one for
waiting, one for the luxury tax, one
for the tax on capital and one for good
luck. All the clocks work busily all
the time-even the one for waiting.
This is probably because the passen-
ger, due to the hard tires, is either
waiting to bounce up or to fall back
after bump during the entire ride.
After determining the amount regis
tered by each clock at the end Of a
ride, these sums are added together
and multiplied by four.

PROPER TIME TO ADVERTISE
Fact Should Be Recognized That
Period of Sackness Demands
Increase of Publicity.

The best time to advertise and to
use every other means of bringing
in orders Is when orders are most
needed. Yet quite a few people, in
Guiding soma very large concerns, are
canceling their advertising and cut
ting down other selling expenses at
the very time they want orders more
than they have needed them In several
years. Any old concern could sell Its
product while the boom was roaring
along like a prairie fire and people
were spending money with thought
less abandon. A change has come.
1t is beginning to take craftsmanship
to sell many lines of goods. Yet many
concerns are dismissing their best
statesmen, the super-salesman, adver-
Using. Not all are, however. Those
longest and best acquainted with adj
vertising and it's power are not drop
ping it now that they have increased
need for it. Recent converts to adj
vertising should take leaf out of
their older and wiser competitors

that the picture was disposed OF with
the consent Of the government and

The monastery offered to sell the
work to the Spanish government, but
it did not possess sufficient funds to
purchase it, and thereupon the paint
ing passed into the hands of a Ma

There is considerable agitation in
