BIZ HARRY B. HUNT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The best
little lid-clamper in Washington
that's Andrew j. Volstead, of Min
nesota, father of the well-known pro-
hibition enforcement law bearing his
name.
He puts the lid on lot of legis-
ation and
He also keeps a lid on his own lips.
1t was as chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee of the House that
Volstead gave his name to the pro-
hibition law and thereby won a niche
In history. And it Is as chairman Of
the same committee that he is able
to sink without trace the hordes of
bills, resolutions and proposals of all
sorts for repeating, modifying or set
ting aside the enforcement law.
81 Never Talk"

prohibition enforcement act,'' Vol
stead tells you II you seek to lead
him afleld into consideration of the
merits of light wines and beer, pro.
hibition polls, the wet influence in
politics and kindred subjects.
There is probably no man in Con-
sTess whose name is so widely known,
but about whom as an individual so
little is known. as Volstead
He might aptly be described as
THE Little Gray Man"
Sixty-two years of age, slight OF
build. unassuming in carriage and
presence. the outstanding factor In
his appearance is the leaden- gray
Overtone that seems to enshroud him.
His plain, rather darkish gray suit
matches almost perfectly in hue the

his eyes. His serious almost solemn.

Dancing Acts Win

Though dancing acts carry Off the
honors Of the bill at the Lyric this
week, there is enough variety to make
good State fair week program.
Tollman's Revue, which heads the
bill. Is dancing act composed Of
four girls and man. One Of the
girls plays piano and violin. The act
IS cleverly constructed and we'll done.
Mary Spoor and Jack Parsons con
tribute more dancing to the bill. Spe-
ciaI songs, story dances, neat appear
ance and plenty Of personality make
It far above the average.
The -Four Harmony Boys offer a
program Of comedy and harmony
songs that are entertaining. They
seem to have caught the idea Of what
people want.
Tuck and Clare DO some clever &C
robatic and contortion stunts, with a
lot Of comedy mixed in.
Goldle and Thorn are two women
who offer character songs. 1t takes
n clever woman to poke fun at her
self and get away with it and the
heavier member of this team is none
too proficient in this line.
Accordio. who plays a piano-ac-
Gordon, has a pleasing program. Field
and Harrington have a sailor act COM
posed chiefly of hoakum. but with
some clever spots. The Four Errettos
close the bill with a comedy acrobatic
act of some merit.

VETS are already organizing to op-
pose the reelection of the aggressive
Virginia-born woman and a hot fight
is promised.
Lady Astor, in her pamphlet,
charges that the liquor traffic in
England is probably more highly and
more thoroughly organized for politi-
cal purposes than the steel. oil and
meat trusts in America"
Favors Local Option
AS an initial step she favors refer
endums Of a local rather than a ma
tional character somewhat similar to
the local option elections which fea-
tured the early stages of the prohibit
ton fight in the United States, in
order 10 allow scope for reasonable ex-
pertinent"
Lady Aston cites the liquor control
bill which viii be introduced in Com
mons shortly providing q three-fold
choice for voters, as follows:
/. Strict prohibition.
2. Continuance Of the present sys-
tenn
3. Reorganization OF the liquor
trade
Excuses Fanaticism
She recognizes that repression may
sometimes be worse than the disease
itself and unless the control IS based
on the general consent and respect for
freedom, It may only breed more trou-
ble"
The misery due to unwise drinking,
Lady Astor declares, is almost enough
to excuse fanatIcism on the question
of liquor control Defenders Of the
liquor traffic. she says. are almost in
variably identified with opponents OF
attempts to deal with immortality,
slums and other social evils.
Her views are commanding the
deepest interest because her whole flu
ture political career may depend on
the outcome Of her prohibition fight.

To the Editor Of The Times

To the Editor Of The Times
AS a constant reader of all three
Indianapolis papers I am surprised
at the exceedingly large number Of
Indiana farmers who recently have
committed suicide. ! say it is sur
prising. when in reality it is not at
all surprising.
Considering the hardship which the
average farmer freely endures. the
long working hours, the discourage
ments which attend. and the crush
ing effect low prices are having on
farm products, 1t is no wonder.
America today would be a wilder
ness had it not been for the farmer.
Yet, after making America all it has
grown to be. financial rush, specula-
ton and patriotic stagnation are driv-
ing the maker to ruin. The farmer
must realize on his investment. or
he will cease to farm.

Coal Settlement Leaves Delivery
Problem TO Railroads.

IOal settlement Leaves Delivery
Problem to Railroads.
To the Editor Of The Times
Now that settlement Of the anthra-
cite coal strike has been effected the
crucial question of fuel transportation
is up to the railroads-the question
of whether or not they will be able
TO break up organized resistance of
the shopmen and resume normal
work.
Rail heads have boosted the latter
and assured the former. They have
made it plain that they intended, not
only temporary Generalization of
union resistance, but a complete de-
struction of the agencies which have
aided that resistance. The public
has. to an extent, accepted promises
of the railroad heads, and are ex-
pecting their coal. now that mining
is to be resumed. Can the railroads
make good their promises?
