Then by chance, according to the gossip of the cloakrooms. a few sena- tors got to comparing notes. They began to suspect there was a dark gentleman in the woodpile Inquiries were made of their colleagues, and it slowly began to dawn upon them that were naming all those state directors. the officers of the Anti-Saloon League
 Think what that means!" exploded one indignant senator to his alarmed colleagues The officers of the Anti Saloon League name the state direC- tors. and the state directors name the enforcement agents. In some states the enforcement personnel numbers around three hundred men. It's a cinch the anti-saloon state directors are going to name their friends and not their enemies for the enforcement jobs

 An informal check was made of the senators who had indOrsed the Anti Saloon Leagues candidates to the pro hbition commissioner. It vas found to be surprisingly large, according to best reports.
 \ few days later senators began to drift down one by one to the prohibit ton bureau and withdraw the indorse- monts they had previously given. some senators didn't, but a good many did

W ASltlNG | ON, OCt. VI. -- IOltlCal Washington is laughing and not few members of congress are inclined to indignation over an adroit move engi- neered by the AntiSaloon League leaders to build up throughout the chine capable of yielding tremendous political power.
 The dark, deep dank plot. as it is unhesitatingly called by some sena- tors. was discovered in its budding youth The axe was forthwith applied to it. but not before it had caused some uneasy moments for a lot of senators and representatives who are to come up for reelection next year.
 The plot had it's inception in the reorganization of the prohibition en- forcement division. Until a few months ago the United States was di- vided into regional sections of three and four states each, with a regional director at the head of each.
 REORGANIZATION BY STATES
 When the Republican new broom whiskcd into Washington it was de- cided to make enforcement of the dry law a matter of states instead of sec tons. The enforcement division was overhauled. the old regional di- rectors dispensed with and it was pro posed to inaugurate iorty-eight state directors. each with his personnel. and responsible for the enforcement of the law in his own particular state.
 The anti-saloon leaders, usually quick to suspect and to question any new legislation affecting the enforce mcnt of the dry law, interposed no objection to the reorganization. In fact. they were for it. Everything looked lovely Senators had more pa tronage at their disposal, the dry watchdogs were satisfied. and nobody had any kick
 Then the wheels began to revolve- Quietly and unostentatiously the Anti Saloon League representatives began to go to individual senators and recommend the men they desired to be named as state directors.

Saloon League leaders usually carried considerable weight with the individu- al senators approached. As has been said, it is militant organization. with branches in every state And in a majority of the cases the senator in dorsed the Anti.Saloon League can didate for the job on down to the prohibition commissioner for appoint ment. One job more or less did not matter, especially when 1t involved the support or opposition of the Anti Saloon League at home.

for the purpose Of clearing up congestion, he put
netting up to congress which that body cannot very
sellsafford TO ignore.
However it would not be at all surprising to find
the proposition has less support among the judci
than anywhere else. Justice Taft himself appears
understand this, for he noted in his remarks thai
while under the present arrangement every judge is
ost entirely free from supervision in the details Of
isSwork the new plan would mean the introduction OF
the executive principle of getting work done into the
judiciary. And of course there are judges on the
federal bench who indolent and who would object
that
may be said that the Taft plan is one Of those
things that are bound to come-some day. How soon
amstter Of conjecture. And when it does come the
benefits Of it will not be confined to the business in the
federal courts The example there will have an appre
sable effect upon the work of the state courts. In

Washington disarmament conference English
and French The official announcement has not been
made but it soon will be. The tentative suggestion
was made unofficially, few weeks ago. that the
proceedings could be much simplifed if only one
language English-was used.
The French people reacted instantly to the sugges-
ton by demanding through their newspapers that their
LANGUAGE, the official language of diplomacy, also be
used.
The pressure on Premier BRAND became so strong
that he announced that under no circumstances could
the French government take part in conference al
which the French language was not admitted as an
official language.

the less unfortunate and some day the West Virginia

After West Virginia got It's state police there was
reason to hope that when the guard was reorganzed it
would Be placed upon purely military basis, leaving
the police work. which was the primary purpose OF the
old guard, to the department Of public safety Such
an arrangement would have made it possible to put the
guard on much higher plane than it ever before oe
But the very element of the public which Is most

work has forced the hand Of the government at Char

will be both men and arms to check it in the bud.
