Some nights ago one of the high

popular restaurant and called for a
drink He was told that it would be
served to him as it was being served
to others, in a cup. He Indignantly
refused to drink his "aperitif" out of

his own drink. His wishes were full
filled
1t should not be assumed that the
prohibition idea has dawned upon De
la Huerta since he became President
1t has not. While he was still Gov
ernor of Sonora he put the dry law
into effect within his territory. The
law was not drastic and certain excep-
tions were made, but it was not so
easy to get drink as it was in Juarez
or at Nuevo Laredo. The waiter in the
cafes generally carried convenient
flask from which hard drinks could be
served and beer and wine appeared in
strange bottles once intended to hold
those soft drinks permitted across the
line and which were commonly sup
posed to be near something or other.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-More than

Obregon Is President
By George f. HYDE

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 9.-Prohibition
is President de la Huerta's hobby. Not
that the flowing bowl has not it's at
fractions for the Chief Executive, but
he does not consider it good for the
Mexican people. 1t is certain that
were his term of office to continue for
few months more Mexico would be
much driers than it is now. if not COM
pietely arid. The measures which he
has taken so far have been merely pre-
liminary, and their effectiveness in
weaving the country at large from the
cup that cheers will depend greatly on
the policy of his successor in Office
To say that Mexico has not taken
kindly to the on-alcoholic state would
be putting it mildly. From all parts
of the country protests are coming in.
Chambers of commerce are meeting to
draft petitions and drastic measures
arc being discussed, such as closing all
bars, cafes. and other places where
drink is sold and letting the govern
considerable part of the income of local,
state and municipal governments is de-
rived from the revenue on alcoholic
beverages, and the closing of all bars
would represent a material cut in GOV
crnment income.
Evading Law Fine Art
At present there are great many Mex
leans in the capital recently returned
from the United States, where evading
the dry law has become fine art, and

Democratic incumbent, according to the
Republican leaders.
The local Democratic leaders have
little or no hope of cutting down the
big Republican majority in the AS
sembly. The makeup Of that body be-
fore the Socialist members were ex-
PEELED was 11O Republicans, 35
Democrats and s Socialists. New
York and Bronx Republican leaders
express the belief that the four So
cialists from those counties will not
be reelected this fall, although it is
generally agreed that they all have an
excellent chance of returning to Al
bany next year. The Democrats and
Republicans have fused in the Social
ist districts and are organized to put
up much stronger fight at the gon-
eral election than they did in the re-
cent special election. Charles Solomon,
Socialist Assemblyman from the 23d
District, Brooklyn, is expected to be
reelected.
In the Sd and 4th Assembly districts
in the Bronx and the 9th and 18th tn
Manhattan, the districts from which
Dewitt, Orr, Waldman and Claessens
were elected by the Socialists, Tam
many and Republican district workers
arc putting forth their best effort to
get the full party vote registered. Inc
only hope they have of beating the So
cialsts with the fusion candidates lies
in making every party vote count in
the final tally. The district leaders
and election captains in these districts
admit, however, that it is likely to be
wasted labor.
The Democrats have indorsed both
the Republican candidates in the Sth
and 18th Assembly districts in Man
haitian, where the fight is on against
the Socialists, Morris d. Reiss is MAX
ing the fight in the Sth and Nathan
Leberman in the 18th.
There is also fusion in two other
Assembly districts in Manhattan. In
the 4th district the Republicans have
indorsed Samuel Dickstein, the Demo
cratic candidate running for reelec-
ton. In the 9Th the Democrats have
indorsed Sol Ullman, the Republican
Assemblyman UP for reelection.
The Republican leaders of New York
County, including the two present So
cialist Assembly districts in the bor-
ough, figure on winning in the 9Th, 7th
Sth, 9th, 10th, 11th, 18th, 18th, 18th
18th, 18th, 21st 22d and 23d Assembly
districts. This would mean gain Of
three Assembiymen from New York
County.

they have lost no time in posting their
fellow countrymen on the ways and
means of getting drink before, after
and between hours. Old coffee pots and
cups have been substituted for the old
familiar stems and schooners, and
demi-tasse has been discovered to con-
tain about the proper space for high
ball or cocktail. Back doors have
never been an institution in Mexico,
but they are beginning to appear as
though they had always been there,
with the Family entrance" sign over
them.
The difficulties of enforcing prohibi-
tion in Mexico can we'll be imagined
when one realizes that the maguey,
the source of three of the more popu-
lar Mexican beverages, pulque, tequila
and mescal, can be grown for decora-
tive purposes in the backyard. Aguar--
diente, raw rum with the kick OF
bootleg whisky and a price somewhat
less than that of good soda water, is
put on the market as q by-product OF
almost every sugar mill. Sotol, te-
pache and other numerous drinks are
household products in many parts OF
the country.
Bars Closed Sundays
So far the President has not tried
to make the country completely dry. He
has started by ordering all bars closed
from noon Saturday until Monday
morning. This again means something
in Mexico which it would not in the
United States. Sunday is the gener-
ally accepted market day throughout
the republic People come in from all
parts of the surrounding country to the
state capitals and the county seats for
three purposes-~to go to church, to sell
their produce and to get drink. Pro-
hibition means to them an infringe
ment of ancient privileges, to which
they do not take kindly
Huerta to establish dry zone extend
ing along the northern border about
sixty miles in width in order to do
away with the constant friction be-

enforcement of the weekend closing

officials. They appear to think that,

wide Red Cross societies, with head
quarters in Geneva.
The department Of health service,
organized and at work during the last
seven months Of the year; was oper-
ating 1873 health centcrs ut the end of
the year. From these radiated many
activities designed to improve the
health Of community and to prevent
the spread of disease, while 435 Red
Cross chapters also engaged actively
in disease preventive work.
Nursing Service Increases
The Health Department also had 312
employees, serving at fftytwo public
health hospitals. where 30 Az patients
received some form of aid from the
Red Cross. Fifteen hundred new mem
bers of whom SOB were women were
added during the year to the life
saving service, a branch Of the first aid
to injured department, in which com
plete womans corps also has been or
ganized.
For the nursing service the year was
one of transition from military to civil
activities. During the war 10000
graduate nurses were assigned to war
service, which aided the return to civil
life of several hundred. Sick nurses
were cared for in a convalescent home,
built during the year at cost Of
$4,000.
Enrolment in the nursing service
increased from 35,426 to 36,705 during
the year. and in an effort to increase
the numbe Of qualified public health
nurses the national Red Gross and its
individual chapters established approx
imately 500 scholarships at institutions
over the country.

Aye, you shall chant of freedom from phantoms

Give him birthday greeting The hour and

The presidential elections have less
interest in Vermont than in most other
states. Safely Republican, as cata-
logued by both great parties. the mat
ter of going to the polls to register a
choice for President is likely to appear
to the citizens of this state as super
fluous. The state can be trusted to
give Harding and Coolidge a substan-
tial majority without the Crowding of
the polls. For this reason that there
is no contest after the primaries, the
farmer will remain in his field and the
merchant in his shop. But there is
woman who has attained voting age
should go to the polls next Tuesday.
There are questions involved in the
present national campaign that have
seldom been equalled in Importance.
Vermont cannot pose as indifferent to
these problems that will be solved ac-
cording to the avowed principles of
the party elected. While VermOnt's
opinion is known beforehand, there is
danger of its unanimity being question
ed unless the strongest possible vote
is cast. The nation is not SO inter
ested in this states presidential vote
but in the Republican majority it
will roll up. There it is that Yer
monters have their opportunity to
manifest their lively interest in ma
tional affairs and their willingness to
share the burdens OF government, The
time has come for the people to take
a hand in the nations business, This
will not be done satisfactorily if we let
our neghbor go TO the polls alone. Oul
neighbors want the Encouragement OF
our own vote, Let them have it
Harding wants record Republican
majority Let him have it,
