PROHIBITIONS VICTORY
EDITOR, News-Times:

Editor, News-T1mes:
Mr.. Van Buren's resignation as
chief counsel to federal prohibition
commissioner and reasons therefor
give him credit. but surely he is in
error when he says: There can be
TO doubt that when the Eighteenth
amendment was adopted the people
intended to prohibit for all time in
toxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses" as there was not a federal
referendum on this question and
therefore the people of the United
States had no direct voice in the
matter.
The Eighteenth amendment was,
as ] recall it. adopted on the vote Of
state legislators, who for the most
part were not elected on the issue,
and citizens generally did not realize
what was being put over on them
and the lengths To which the anti
llquorites would go until it was too
late.
I think as a general proposition
that there can be no question but
that the temperance movement at
talncd its ends because of the apathy
Of the people and their dislike Of
tho saloon. Had the saloon been alb
olished altogether and hard liquor
with it there would be no 18th
amendment in existence today. i'm my
opinion. c. II. A.

It may be impossible to feed the starving in Rus

be clearly the conclusion TO be drawn from the
reply 20 Maxim GOrky of SeC'y Hoover as chairman
Of the American Relief association that since the
war has been feeding millions of children in score
other countries. Mr. Hoover does not ask for the
overturn OF the government he asks only for condi
tions that have prevailed in all other countries
where this American relief has been extended But
those conditions that are easy and even beneficial

ALESSON VAR MIGHT HAVE TAUGHT

Nothing vast the World war could be wholly
made up OF evil or rather no disaster could make
such a demand upon the energies OF the human
race without teaching something that would be Of
use when the disaster was past. What the
taught, primarily was the possibility OF vastly in
creased material production. When the habits, and
even the rights and privileges. Of peace set
aside there seemed limit to what modern men
and machinery could produce. I every day
growing more impressed" said DR. Vernon kellogg
in address reprinted in Science, with the sim
plicty OF war War which is supposed TO bring

ness OF thought and action; while peace, which
should bring simplicity has brought 10 perfect

to attempt and achieve when were at war
Nothing seems capable Of direct attack and solu-
ton that at peace"
The National Research council, of which Or. KEEL
logg is member. stands for the concerted appn-
cation OF the scientific method TO the solution Of
national problems.
OF course, the wartime achievements were made
possible by the grant OF arbitrary powers to the
government The peace time substitute is process
Of enlightenment which will induce TO do
democraucally what they were compelled to do
automatically Economists will tell any layman
who takes the trouble to inquire that if the local
and national governments would press their great
public in times OF depression and low prices
unemployment could be greatly diminished and the
period OF depression considerably shortened and if
the corporations which control the basic industries
would do the same thing hard time" might become

WAY LANDLORDS LOOK AT 1T.
Editor News-Times:
In all the letters and arguments
in regard to high rents. no one has
hit the nail on the head.
AS long as taxes continue as out
rageously high as they are in the
city rents will never come down
own a six-room house that cost
me $S7 in taxes last year where the
same kind Of a house in the suburbs
only cost $23 taxes.
Tenants want everything in first
class order when they move in and
every time they pay their rent they
have something to complain about.
They also expect a $50 house for
about $50 a month, and are not sat
iSfied unless the landlord spends $45
Of that each month on extras.
They move in and promise to stay.
and in a few months move out; then
the landlord can spend the money
they have paid him for rent in get
ting the house fit for the next ten
ant.
They seem to think they are saw
ing the landlords life because they
pay their rent. They never seem to
count the use of the house.
As long as tenants have no con-
sideration for other peoples prop
erty, they viii receive little consid-
Grafton from the landlord.

MEDICAL PROFESSORS AGAINST
BEER.
Editor. News-Times:-

Editor. News-Times:-
In the letters appearing in the
papers regarding beer no mention is
made of the fact that one hundred
prominent physicians of the country
in April sent out a statement that
"malt LIQUORS serve no medical pur-
pose which cannot be satisfactorily
met in other ways, and that malt
liquors were never listed in the Unit
ed States PharmaCOpOeia as official
medicinal remedies" About half Of
these hundred physicians were teach
ers of medicine in the better medical
schools Of the country, such as Har-
ward, Yale, Columbia, University Of
PENNSYLVANIA. University Of AIichig-
an. Rush Of Chicago, Georgetown.
Cornell. University Of Illinois and
the University Of Chicago. No men
ton has been made in these letters.

and county medical societies have
been passing resolutions declaring
against the use OF beer as medicine.
When Whiskey and brandy were
dropped from the United States
Pharmacopoeia, some years ago the
majority of teachers Of medicine Of
this country voted in favor OF this
elimination Wine had been dropped

that the medical men who have most
closely studied the effects OF alcohol
as beverage or as medicine are the

THE GREATER VICTORY.

THE GREATER VICTORY.
Twill do no harm to tell the tale
the youth has earned his right
TO fame,
And he who paved the way for him
no longer lives to play the game
But golf runs deeper than the score,
and men are made in battles
grim,
But few there are who really know
just why the youngster conquer
ed him.
Old Joe was victor more than once,
with trophies all his shelves
were lined,
Not often in a strenuous fight his
skill would leave him far be-
hind:
But here was hot and eager youth to
battle him that summers day,
And scarcely ripe in skill or nerve
with wise experience to play.
The boy was plainly i'll at ease ana
nervous when the game began.
He knew his rivals splendid worth,

 It is played by an all-star cast, headed by Anita Stewart, one of the leading stars of the screen, and is directed by Marshall T. Neilan, who, although one of the younger men in the field, has already forged to front rank among such men as David Wark Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille
