The Temperance Vote

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; Many people have been led to
believe that the prohibition question is
settled matter, dead issue. that it
ought not to be taken into consideration
at all, or. if to be made an issue, it
must take second place wherever it
conflicts with the stand taken cor or
against the League Of Nations. This is
far frorn the truth, as it is most I'M
portant question, and the candidates
are now all on record as to their posi-
hon regarding enforcement.
The Eighteenth Amendment forbids
The manufacture and sale of Hntoxi-
eating liquors." and the Volstead act
defines the expression as meaning all
liquor that contains more than one-half
Of l per cent alcohol. Around this act
lies all the trouble. It makes It neces-
sary for us to watch our step. or rather
to watch the candidates step The OBJ
lection to the Nolstcad act is plainly
shown by the fact that President VII
son vetoed this act, and we have it as
law only because the Senate carried it
despite his objection And right here
| want to note that Mr.. Harding voted
for it in both instances This is a
positive record and deserves the con
sideratior Of the temperance people.
To show the active work in opposi-
tion to the Nolstead act ask you lust
to look at the records of our own state,
where to our shame we nave an act
passed by our Legislature permitting
the manufacture and sale or 275 bev-
erages. This is notification Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, rs We all we'll
know that it is the light wines and
beers which almost every man begins
by taking and which ruin the constitu-
ton and befog the brain. Governor
Smith signed this bill. This IS Mr.
Smiths record, and Furthermore he. mas
not reformed, for he has constantly re-
fused to take positive stand as to what
he intends to dc.
Again, in New Jersey the attempt hss
been made to allow the sale Of beverages
having larger percentage Of alcohol
than the Volstead Act permits. and Mr..
Cox was nominated because of his ten
dency toward liberal Interpretation Of
that act. tell you the opposing forces
are working if the temperance people
are resting on their previous accom-
plishments. We must be on the alert
and not allow the question to be side
tracked on Election Day.
The League of Nations has now been
put to the front as the paramount issue
1t seems to me that this is rather an
unfortunate mistake l think that every
man and woman of any common sense
/ is only 100 anxious 20 enter into some
sort Of combination or association
that will insure peace for the world, but
naturally we differ as to he methods cor
its accomplishment. AS Mr. Hoover has
said. "Artiele X and other articles Of the
treaty that have been objected TO by the
Republican party are but part OF the
methods of reaching this great object.
to which there are many other alterna-
tives." BERTHA MAPES.

Train the Crowds
New York, Oct. 80, 1920.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One has only to experience the
fray to resent the method at present
employed to load and unload the
human freight of subway trains.
AS each car draws into the station
there occurs a struggle ct every door
between the "Ins" and the "Outs," and
while victory is usually with the
strong, nevertheless the case of the
weak is not entirely hopeless, through
the rule that those who want to get
out be given a chance to get out be-
fore those who want to get in, get in,
enforced by the station guards.
Nor is the struggle confined to the
two main forces battling in opposite
directions, there being certain other
minor engagements taking place within
the car itself, caused by fear on the
part of those who first enter that they
may never be able TO get out. Thus
having once entered the car they i'm
mediately back uD, as it were, inter
fering with the entry Of others. Who
is not familiar with the Door Hog"
the "Mule" and the lone who leans
upon YOU?
The present plan also requires one
group Of persons to wait upon the
other, thereby wasting half Of the time
of the passengers and delaying de-
parture of trains.
The delay, inconvenience and some
times bodily injury resulting from the
present method could perhaps be
avoided by adoption Of ordinary rout-
ing methods, the first principle of
which is the avoidance of cross cur
rents. What objection can there be to
restricting center DOORS for entrance
and end doors for exit, thereby elm
New-York tribune., 1920-11-02

mating cross currents and routing
the people in cycle?
Scientific routing can be expected to
avoid the present impacts and TO en-
able both groups to move simultane-
ously. AS the train approaches the
station, the "Ins" would have already
faced themselves toward the end door
exits, and as these were opened would
pass out unmolested by a mob strug-
Cling to get in through the same door
Similarly the "Outs' would be already
assembled on the platform opposite
center doors, and, instead of having
as at present to fight the "Ins" trying
to get out, they would find the pas
sageway already being vacated before
them. J. p. c.

There has never been an emergency
when the American people have not
turned to the Republican party since
it was founded In the crisis of 1860
they turned to Lincoln. In 1906 they
turned to Mckinley For over two
years they have been turning to our
party. They chose a Republican House
and Senate in 1918. They supported
us in Massachusetts in 1919 They
gave us $4,000 in Maine in 1920.
The people are determined to return
to Constitutional government. They are
determined to end extravaganza. They
want an administration that will re-
store both property and government to
the people. They are seeking that Sc
curity, that steady progress that has
marked Republican control of Amer-
can government.

and the League
4 Reservation That Went Further
Than Any american One
o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The alleged 'slump to Cox" of
intellectual Republicans" is based
upon distortion of Mr.. Hardings Des
Moines speech. When these men
"slumped" (most of whom had voted for
Wilson twice. Cox was standing firmly
on the Wilson appeal and on the Will
son record. They see no inconsistency
in Mr.. Cox's ad captandum volte face
on reservations at the close of the
campaign.
Let those who are impressed by the
names of these boilers remember:
(a) That Switzerland is member Of
the league, admitted although the pleb-
iscitum Of the cantons, voting yes or
no, was absolutely conditioned by the
reservation Of her historic neutrality,
which was declared to be. mot incom-
patible with any provisions of the
pact" i. e., the covenant of the league.
o. This goes further than any of the
Lodge reservations.
(c) The Democratic papers made no
mention of this fact.
CD Nor did they comment on the fact
that France and Belgium, primary bene-
ticiarics of the league, have not COM
piled with Article XVIII, by refusing to
register their recent treaty with the
secretariat.
(e) That M. Bourgeois, President Of
the Council, has stated that Article x
is not essential to the validity or life
of the league, and may be excised.
If these things be so which man, if
elected President, can be better trusted
to see to the assertion and protection
of American rights? Not Cox. the heir
of personal policy, who is "impatient
of the cry America First" But Har-
ding, the candidate of cause-to wit,
the restoration of American constitu-
tional government, the ending Of Exec
utive usurpation and an Administration
whose keynote shall be "Amcrica First"

There was method in Mr.. Wilson, s

There was method in Mr.. Wilson's
strange course.
The cunning came to naught,
first, because it was too plain who
had prevented ratification, and, sec
ond, because the difference between
the two parties was too narrow and
microscopic to sustain the burden of
four months of steady discussion.
The public grew weary, and what was
to be the paramount issue could not
be made paramount. Governor Cox
finally advertised the failure of Mr..
Wilson oversubtlety when he also
came out for some sort Of reserva-
tions and practically took the league
issue out Of the campaign.

Bessarabia S Home
II Is Russia. Not Rlmanid, Cor.
RESPONDENT 1roue5
70 the Editor OF The Tribune.


To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I am inclined 10 believe that in .
your editorial in to-day's issue entitled
"Bessarabia Arrives Home you have
overlooked some important facts which
if considered, would have considerably
modified your conclusions.
You state The Rumanian characte,
of that fertile province, separated from
Rumania nearly one hundred years age,
is Acknowledged by most Russian au-
thoritias, and the Bessarabian people
themselves have repeatedly declared
their determination to reunitc with the
mother country
The fact is that the union of Bes-
sarabia with Russia was never an act Of
violence against Rumania. Bessarabia
was united to Russia in 1912. Al that
time Rumania did not exist and Bessa.
raba was but one OF the Danubian prov
inces belonging TO Turkey, which was
thereby liberated from Turkish rule
The present population OF Bessarabia
is about 100000. and the Moldavisn
part Of it constitutes less than so per
cent. These Moidavans, while racialy
the same as the Moldavians of Northern
Rumania, are Russian is sympathy and
have never had the feeling of having
been separated from nation TO which
they belonged Whom Rumania, in Rus
sias time of trouble, marched in and
occupied Bessarabia it was with dec
laration that this occupation was but
temporary. Thereafter totally unfair
election OF quasi-representative Con-
gress was held under pressure, and TINS
"Sfatnl Tseri" was forced at the port
of the bayonet TO vote the annexatio1
OF Rumania to Bessarabia As a matter
Of fact, out OF l62 members only 80
voted in favor voted against. and the
remainder refra.ned from voting.
Not only was Rumanias action arSi'
trary and contrary to popular viii, but
it was followed by extreme represslvs
measures in the country itself, designed
to stamp out al opposition RUSSIAN
leaders are unit in asking that the
final decision as to Bessarabia should
be left to a free plebisci,e Of the peo'
pie, but Rumana IS unwilling to scceds
to this, knowing full well that the resus
would be against Rumanian annexation.
The annexation has now been rati'
fed by the signing Of treaty, 10 wn'ca
England and France are parties. On
the part OF these latter countries tnij
displays an uuexAmpled cyn.cism, sins,
they take advantage Of the presem
weakness Of their ally ia the war 70
despoil her. without giving any oppor-
tunity to the people concerned 70 ex'
press their viii. Il seems particularly
shortsighted on the part Of Franess
since she has every interest IN securing
the future friendship Of reconstructed
Russia. Her action may BE- motivatea
by the desire 20 sex up a military torcs
against Boishevism, or to secure the sup'
port Of the Little Entente. 1t may m
also that oil and other concessions 4

Lament

The girl left behind me is girl

The beamish maiden I like now is won
derful, and yet
The girl who seems the sweetest is
the one I never met
In years gone by I've had my share of
love affairs, and more;
I've thought I'd found the lady I for
ever could adore,
But then I'd see new face and the
old would be bore.
At football games, the opera. along
the avenue,
At theaters, in the restaurants-and
even at the zoo,
Some girl would change my mind about
the one thought would do.

I've just turned fortv-three.

Because the girl never met seems

Probably the coal operators figure
that il man can spend SIS on silk

spend $40 for a ton OF coal to keep

however, so far as the public is con-

Sir; For the information of "Syra-

keep the seams OF their stockings

New York girls are concerned, the
corset, with its appended garters, has
gone where the woodbine twineth.

coats and heecc-lined underwear. Lack
lnc these former corset-attached gar

to explain the process without a dia-

A public golf course for Topeka to

"A city of this size should have a

would like TO play golf. Many of these
are deferred because they cannot az

Copeland stated he was writing to
Commissioner McGiffert today, laying
out the proposition and asking what
the city could do. McGiffert declined
to make any statement until he knew
the nature of Copelands proposition:
Doubt was expressed at the city han
that the park department has suffl-

could be obviated by popular subscrlp-
