Nations DryChief
Won't Say When
His Job Will End
Federal Prohibition Director
Admits He Has Gigantic
Task-Predecessor Said
Would Take Century.
BY w. HI ATKINS.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Roy A.
Haynes, dry battler of Ohio, now
prohibition chief of the United States,
is a double-barreled optimist. But
as prophet he's as shy as a March
hare.
Just ask Haynes what he thinks
about the future aridity of America,
and he will tell OF his hopes, his am
bitions and his air-tight plans for
liquor control.
But as for a fiat prediction Of when
the United States will begin to re-
duce its present "wetness and become
actually dry, in fact as we'll as in
theory, he settles back in, complacent
silence and merely smiles.
To those who are yet to know the
liquor law boss at close range it may
be said that he wears an expansive
and gracious smile that invites ad-
miration because the man who wears
it perforce must smile, or fall in de-
spair in task that means constant
vicissitude.
Getting Toe Hold.
But behind this smile there may be
much significance. Significance pos
sibly because Haynes, just getting a
toe hold on his job, has begun to
realize the immensity of the prob
lens set before him for solution.
1t is but fair to Haynes, his sup
porters all agree, to concede that
his job is one of the most difficult
and perhaps one of the most thank
less in the government service. In
the present frame of mind of the
public over prohibition, and senti-
ment constantly shifting over the
different angles of the question,
Haynes admits that he does not ex-
pect that all of his acts will escape
censure even from the "drys."
To Be Fair.
Haynes, in a good beginning, says
he wants TO be fair and square in
liquor law enforcement. He does
not want to grow frantic, ac-
quiescing to demands of dry advo-
Gates regardless of the terms of the
law, nor does he want to be so
lenient that the bars will be let
down for law breaking.
Haynes would like to see the.
United States so dry in the next
year that it will be impossible for
an American to get ia drink of
liquor of any kind or color, or de-
gree of voltage. OF course, he.
this by admitting that, as
congress has specified. liquors have

FOR THE KIDDIES

Where are your children tonight?
Are they at home or are they in the
street, at the dance hall, in the park
or some other place you know not Of?
It is your duty to know where they are
and what company they are keeping.
They may be innocent of every wrong
in thought or deed; but it is your duty
to surround them with influences that
will keep them in the right path so
that they may grow to be men and
women as pure and upright as you
would have them. No parent desires
to see his children come to manhood
and womanhood lacking in any Of the
basic PRINCIPLES of an irreproachable
character. The children Of today are
to be the men and women Of tomor-
row. Character is their working CAPT.
tai, be they rich or poor. Be then not
lax in your duty to guide them in the
paths of rectitude, to teach them the
pitfalls that lie in their path, the in
fluences that may be brought to bear
to lead them astray, and the result of
disobedience Of the laws of men and
of God. Stamp indelibly upon their
young minds the Importance of a
clean record and a spotless character.
