CONGRESS RESENTS
REGENT VIOLATIONS
OF PEOPLES RIGHTS
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "a
The feeling that has famed up in
congress over the amendments to the
prohibition enforcement act is as
strong as any emotion that has blazed
in that body for 4 long time.
1t is not a feeling that is unfriendly
to prohibition If the vets are taking
any comfort out of it, they are mis-
taken. The prevailing feeling in con-
gress is as dry as ever it was.
But on the part of group of SEN
ators and congressman, which is large
in numbers and determined in spirit,
there is a fierce resentment against
invasions of anclent constitutions
rights, which have been committed
and tolerated in the service of prohi-
bition.
Must Observe Laws
For the future. persons engaged in
searching out crimes against prohibi-
ton will be compelled to restrict
themselves within the same limita-
tions that have been imposed by law
for hundreds of years on officials en-
gagged in ferreting out murder and
other felonies.
Most of the prohibitionists realize
that they must give up some of the
things they have practiced during the
last three years. They know 1t will
no longer be possible to search z
mans house for liquor. unless the!
| have a warrant. but they hope to re
| tain the right to search automobiles
| without a warrant
This determination to get back tc
constitutional safeguards for individ
| ual rights and liberties goes further
/ than congress. and further than the
subject OF prohibition enforcement
only.
Tired Of Espionage
There is a widespread feeling il
! Washington that during the previou!
administration the detecting and othel
| espionage functions of the govern
ment ran pretty wild. 1t arose out 0

But there was no excuse for man,

! There is a disposition on the par
of congress TO inquire whether tn,

service work of the government dur
ing the war was not oyerdone, an
whether some of the individuals an,
officials connected with it did not &

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The Anti
Saloon League has been experiencing
considerable difficulty in maintaining
its influence over congress from the
very beginning of the extra session.
On several occasions congress has
threatened 10 take the bit in its teeth.
The latest manifestation of this spirit
is the lively row which has been in
progress for several days over the anti
beer bill.
The measure was introduced last
month for the purpose of making it
illegal for physicians to prescribe beer
for medicinal purposes, which was held
TO be permissible under the provisions
of the original Nolstead act by former
attorney general Palmer.

LAID BIBLE SCENES IN CHINA
Native Artist Had No Conception of
Any Other Land Outside Of
His Own.

In north Fukien province there dwelt
an artist who painted pictures on silk
for the gentry of his little village. The
people in this secluded hamlet nestled
amid the hills, had never seen autOmo-
biles or airplanes. nor did they take
the long journey to Shanghai to watch
the great steamers come in laden with
merchandise and messages from the
ports of the world. But they knew the
words of Confucius and Lao-tse and
they lived and died with simple dig
nifty as their fathers had done before
them. One evening the artist. who
had been working all day on me-
mortal portrait, strolled out into the
dark, cool street TO refresh his tired
soul, writes Elsie f. Well in Asia Mag
azine. The tiny white church of the
foreign god beyond the tea shop was
brilliantly lighted. The artist stood
moment in the open door. The young
missionary was talking most eloquent
ly; he was not preaching, but he
seemed to be telling stories that were
as fascinating as those fecited in the
bazaars. Almost in spite of himself
the artist sank unobtrusively into an
empty seat. For the first time he
heard Some of the beautiful old stories
of the Bible, which have held the peo-
pie of the West enthralled for 1000
years. And the artist returned TO his
home and made pictures of the story
of Noah and the food, and of the par
ables of the lost sheep and of the prod
igal son and of many others that were
in the book of the western missionary.
But he had never heard of the Pales-
tine. To him Noah was Chinese, and
the lost sheep belonged to a farmer of
his province and the prodigal son
might well have been a dissolute youth
of his own village.
