brought converts to their ranks. Some
members of Congress think some day
public sentiment will permit Con-
gress to legislate for 2.75 beer and
light wines but not very soon. Never
theless the present fight over the
right of a prohibition officer to search
without a warrant has opened the
eyes of everybody to the change in
sentiment and both sides are wonder
ing just what public opinion is at
present on the prohibition question.
The Senate is standing like rock
against the compromise offered by
the Anti-Saloon League It's the
first time the Senate has defied that
organization. Drys joined with vets

This would never occur if the SEN

same today as when the Volstead act
was pushed through both houses
Usually the Anti-Saloon league gets
its legislation through in a hurry and
without difficulty. The emergence of
the search and seizure controversy is
the most significant thing that has
happened since the nation went dry.
The anti-Saloon league leaders are
threatening to carry their fight to
the political conventions of both par
ties but so long as it is one section
of the constitution against another
the chances are remote that either
convention will care to go on record
against search and seizure without
warrant.

The fact that Portsmouth now has a
good team cannot be denied, but on
the other hand there isn't the slight
est doubt about the fact that they are
playing team that is equally strong.
Yesterdays game was featured by
the pitching of Ledbetter and the all
round work of the Portsmouth clan,
while for Wilson the entire team per-
formed creditably. The lack of hitting
prevented the Bugs from winning,
but on defensive they were strong.
