SAYS DRY AGENTS
| REQU|REL0CAL AID
Former Commissioner Kran.
er Sees Government as
PoWerIeSS Alone.

without aid from local authorities
throughout the country. the federal
government will never be able to en-
force prohibition in the United states.
declared former Prohibition Commis-
sioner John f. Kramer at the early
session of the twentieth national con-
vention of the Anti-Saloon League OF
America at the First Congregational
Church today.
Mr.. Kramer paid tribute to the
Haynes. and said that the admins
tration should be complimented for
keeping in office DR.. j. M. Doran. chief
chemist of the prohibition unit Of the
| internal revenue bureau. but. said ne,
no matter how efficient and honest
under them are, 1T is an utter i'm
| possibility for the federal forces to
enforce the law alone.
| The former commissioner stressed
! the gigantic task of enforcing such q
radical movement as national prohibi-
! ton. and declared that the three out
standing mistakes made by those In
! favor of u dry country were, first.
i the understanding of the size OF the
] job undertaken: second, the mistake
| of assuming that the federal govern
ment could handle enforcement alone.
and. third. the tendency of the great
majority ito rest on their oars, now
/ that the law had been become q fact,
! and assuming the attitude that 1t
/. would handle itself.
Never was there a time in the his
| tory of the Anti Saloon League or the
| W. c. T. U. that workers were needed
, more than now, and 1 have no hes
| itancy in saying that If either organ =
| ization stopped its activities today
| national prohibition would be a thing
/ of the past in this counry," said Mr..
! Kramer. The former commissioner
|; WAS given an ovation.
The session opened with twenty
!, minute song service, and following
Invocation / by Rev. Walter Amos

leading temperance workers from all
sections of the United States to the
assembly.
Dr.. Doran of the internal revenue
bureau preceded Mr.. Kramer and
chemists are doing to help in the
enforcement of the law.

The official said that thsn1aculties
encountered in the enforcement Of the
prohibition law are due possibly to the
fact that 1t was passed before public
opinion in many localities was ready
to support It.
Officials who close their eyes to vio-
lations Of the prohibition law and wonl-
en- who convert their handbags into re-
ceptacles for liquor in fragrant" viola
tion Of the law were severely censured
by the speaker.
In conclusion Mr.. Goff said that the
A'peak Of lawlessness has been reached
and passed and our national institutions
left intact. And why? Because we had
and have men in our state and federal
governments who were not afraid to
dig into the slime of this nasty, dirty
graft and bring those treacherous vam.
pires Of corruption to the bar Of justice.
'Hf the government Of the United
States" he continued. will pinch off
the coolies. whether they be capitalists.
socialists, bolshevists or labor leaders.
and compel them to obey the law, be-
cause it is the will Of the majority. the
collective reason and justice Of the peo-
ole. it will win the peace of the world"

nook and Granny Of our social, politi-
cal and governmental existence.
The law stands proclaiming, Thou
shalt not break and when that COM
mandment is broken the, nation
should bend its efforts to see that
atonement Is made. The quickest and
surest way to get any law at naught
Is to relax its enforcement. while the
quickest and surest way to instill re-
spect for the law is to vigorously
press Its enforcement"
The speaker declared that legisla-
tion. prosecution and drastic punish
ment were not the only essentials to
law enforcement, but that education
and practice of what is being
preached were also most necessary.
NO one can deny that things are
wrong and that men in their pursuit
OF false gods have forgotten honor
and Justice. 1t is education that. is
needed. Today all mankind is sus-
picious doing nothing. playing safe.
America must not and will not yield
to this condition. Instead. she must
be the positive nation. She will, am
sure. be positively good

HOUSE KILLS BILL CADDOCLUB

By vote of 21 to 40 the house late yesterday defeated house bill No. 464 by MT, Herring of Faulkner to ap- propriate $14,000 out of the general revenue fund for the purchase of the dormitory building known as Caddo Club, owned by J. G. Cubage, for the State Normal School. The building is now under lease by the Normal, which has an option to purchase it at the price named. The Log Cabin Demo- crat was unable to learn the reason assigned for the defeat of the meas ure, but it was probably in line with the expressed determination of the present legislature not to make any appropriations whatever for building purposes.

 CHICAGO MAIL TRAIN ROBBED
tBY United PressI


 East Quincy, H., Feb. 25.-Four armed men held up the fast Chicago & Alton train, "The Hummer early today and escaped with the contents of the mail cars, roughly estimated as of S25,o00 value. Railroad mad pos tai officials said check of the reg istered mail taken by the bandits might show a higher valuation. The Hummer was boarded by the bandits just as it pulled across the Mississippi river. The four jumped on to the tender as the train was gathering speed, and covered the crew with rifles. Under command of the bandits, the crew detached the mail cars and switched them two miles dis tant, where the robbers took their loot and escaped.
 No accurate description of the dar- ing robbers could be had as the hold up was pulled before day. Darkness covered their escape while the crew returned and resumed the run of the train.

 New York, Feb. 25.-The worlds cotton acreage in 1921 will be cut at least 50 per cent should present plans of agricultural men be carried ous. Theodore H. Price editor of Com merce and Finance and foremost authority on cotton. predicts that az ricultural men everywhere will be warned by falling prices of the com modlty and the danger of furthering increase the immense carry over, and will slash their acreage by one-half.
 MT. Price believes that the cotton market is as low now as it will ever reach. Betterment of prices, in his opinion, will be in ratio to consumption of the present surplus, provided the acreage reduction is marked enough to permit a decrease in the worlds car- ry over.
 Egypt will reduce cotton acreage 60 per cent, MT. Price thinks. Substan- tial cuts will be made in west India. In America, he does not expect the reduction to approximate more than p per cent.
