YOUNG ROOSEVELT
 CHIP OFF OLDBLOCk
Assemblyman Regarded as Good Material for the Lieutenant-G Gov ernorship--May Run with Speak
 CT Sweet.
By WARREN w. WHEATON, International News Service Stam
 Correspondent

Albany, N. I. Jan, 20.--"A chip off the old blockw
 That's the terse summing up New York State legislators and high off cials make of Licutenant-C Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, son of the late former President, who took his seat in the State Assembly at the opening of the 1920 session as a Republican from Nassau County district.
 Big things, political eyes of the State are glued upon him. His every word and action are being closely fol lowed. Already followers of the game in which votes count are linking him with the Republican ticket as candi- date for Lieutenant-Goyern wher the party seeks success at the polls this coming Fall.
 The head of the Republican State ticket IS still behind the veil of un. certainty and has not yet taken defin. ite shape. Three candidates for tho Governorship loom up strongest al this time-Speaker Thaddeus C Sweet, of the Assembly; Secretary of State Francis M. Hugo and State Comptroller Eugene M. Travis.
 Colonel Roosevelt is close to Sweet In fact, with the campaign now prac- tically under way, he has many speaking engagements with the Speaker, and if Sweet gets successful ly by the primaries Roosevelt is ex- pected to be lined up with him on his ticket
 The Colonel has the decision of his late father. He is grooming himself rather than being groomed for what ever the political world holds out for him. And there is promise at this early date of having the shoes of his father ready for him to jump into, and they landed the father into the leading him to greater things ard ul- timately the Presidency of the Unit 1 States.
 Colonel Roosevelt is quiet. He is unassuning. He is interview proof, and in this respect says of himself:
 I'm like Sam Weller iii Piciwick Papers Dumb as drum with hole in it."
 He adds
 "I'm studying the entire situation. When l speak I'll act, too.v
 And that's all that can be gotten from him on his plans as an Assem- blyman and possible candidate for the Lieutenant -Governorship.
 However, 1t would not be surpris- ing, close friends say, if the Colonel should sponsor and lead the fight for whatever welfare" legislation the lawmakers will pass. One of the bills he is expected to introduce early in the session is measure calling for the establishment of minimum wage for the workers of the State. Friends say it will have teeth" in it. It will differ from the one advocated by the Democratic minority and backed by labor.

CONPERS FEARS
 ANTI-SED|T|ON ACT
A. F. of L. Head Says Believes Will End Free Speech-Brands the Measure "Autocratic and
 Illegitimate."

Washington, Jan. 1S--Formal an ation of Labor would oppose, with whatever power it may possess" the enactment of the anti-sedition bills now pending in congress was made to- day in a statement issued by Samuel Gompers, president of the federation.
 The attack of organized labor, it's chieftain indicated, will be directed impartially against the Sterling bill, recently passed by the senate, and against the Graham measure. which is based on suggestions of Attorney General Palmer and is awaiting action by the house rules committee for 8 special rule to expedite considera- ton.
 "Would Kill Free Speech"
 Referring to the two measures as one bill, President Gompers declared it's enactment would violate the Con- stitution and rob the whole American people of their most cherished and basic guarantees of free government. ,
 If the American people. and in fact majority of the members of con- gress." Mr. Gompers asserted, were awake to the dangers concealed in this bill, a storm of indignation would sweep the nation.
 It has been widely advertised that this measure protects free speech, but prevents advocacy of forcible re- volution, bolsheyism and anarchy In fact, it would perpetuate an autocra- tic censorship over the entire Ameri- can press. It can be used to kill free speech and free assembly. It strikes a deadly blow at legitimate organiza- tions of labor or any other progressive movement for the betterment of the masses, which may be opposed by the advocates of privilege and reaction.
 We yield to no man. in public office or out, in our loyalty to the Constitu- tion and institutions of this republic {; no self-respecting man has questioned or dare question that loyalty. We are for evolution, not revolution; for bal lots, not bullets; for majority rule, not class dictatorship of bolshevism | plutocracy or of the profiteer. We oppose this bill because every legitimate purpose for which it is framed already is covered by existing law. It's illegitimate features, which compose two-thirds of the draft, are utterly autocraft, imperialistic and un- American"

NO LOVE IN PREACHER's HOME
Only Two Kisses Year, So Wife
 Sues for Separate Maintenance.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-All women and most men will agree with Geraldine Elliott, wife of Clarence M. Ellitott, a minister, that only two kisses a year are not enough for wife. She has filed suit for separate maintenance, and charges that since her marriage in September, 1918, she has endured life of misery. She said her hus- band tortured her with nasty insinua- tions rehecting on her morals and only kissed her twice during their married life. She alleges she went ahead and carried her burden of misery in order that her husband might complete his theological course and obtain a pull pit, from which he can discourse sweetly on peace and love in the home.

WOULD REINDURSE OWNERS OF LIQUOR
Prohihitionists Propose That Govern ment Shall Purchase lntoxicants-- To Be Sold for Legitimate Uses
 -Might Remove Antagonism.

Washington, Jan l7-P Prohibition lcaders are working out a comprehen- sive program for reimbursing the own CTS of intoxicating liquor for the loss. es sustained under constitutional pro hibltion.
 A proposal has been submitted to the Treasury Department by some of the prohibitionists in Congress, which provided that the government shall purchase all the liquors now being held under bond, amounting to about 60000000 gallons Treasury eertifi- cates would be issued for the liquor and these liquidated only as the gov ernment finds legitimate uses for this large amount of bonded spirits.
 From 10 to 20 years, prohibition leaders estimate. will be required to use up this stock legitimately, such as for medicinal, scientific or indus trial purposes. If the plan is carried out, government experts will be in structed to conduct experiments in an effort to find new converted uses of the liquor, such as for motive power
 The fact that many banks, holders of warehouse certificates for govern ment bonded liquor, will be large los CTS unless some relief is granted, is drawing support for the program. Pro hibitionists believe the plan will pro- vide for a stricter and more econom- ical enforcement of prohibition and cause much of the antagonism thru out the country to the dry era 10 wane.
 The plan is said to be meeting with favor at the Bureau of Internal Reve- nue and a well known prohibitionist today predicted that such recommen- dation would soon be made to Con gress and a majority for it could be obtained.
 Up to Congress.
 The disposition of the liquor now bond has been put up to Congress squarely by the Internal Revenue Bu- reau. Extra guards are being placed around all bonded warehouses by the Prohibition Enforcement Division of the bureau The government must guard all this liquor,s and under the present system the expense is fast mounting up into the several millions. John F, Kremer, prohibition commis- sioner. recently asked Congress for l $2.000,000 for the service of 300 ex- tra guards between now and June 30.
