WASHINGTON-The best little
lid-clamper in Washington-that's
Andrew j. Volstead, of Minnesota,
father of the. well-known prohibi-
ton enforcement law bearing his
name.
Volstead's l.d-clamping proclivi-
ties have not been limited simply
to clamping down the lid on the
national thirst.
lation, 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 chair
man of the same committee that he
is able to sink without trace the
hordeS of bills, resolutions and pro-
poSals of all sorts for repeating,
modifying or setting aside the en-
forcement law. No pigeon-holes in
congress are more crowded with
dust-covered, forgotten documents
than those of the Judiciary Com
mittee. And no lid is clamped more
tightly against possible considera-
ton and enactment of measures dis
approved by the committee cndlr-
man.
Here's Buried Bills
Among the bills buried under the
Volstead lid are proposals to amend
the Constitution to permit wines
and liquors of 10 per cent alcoholic
content; to permit beer of IN per
cent alcohol: to permit the states to
decide for themselves what consti-
tutes Intoxicating liquors. under
the eighteenth amendment; to pro-
vide a national referendum on pro-
hibition, to transfer enforcement OF
prohibition from the treasury to the
Department of Justice; to repeal the
enforcement act, to amend the act
and so on, by the score.
These bills were introduced, re-
ferred to committee-then buried
The lid clamped shut on them an6
they were gone! And if you try &c
tilt the lid, you find sitting atop OF
it a small but grim and very deter
mined man who doesn't argue OF
plead or waste time in words, but
exercises the prerogatives of his
position as committee chairman and
the weight of the dignity that posi-
ton gives him to hold the lid firm

/ huence in politics and kindred sub
jects.
Therein has been much of VOL
stead's paternal strength in protect
ing his legislative progeny.
Lad he tried to argue the merits
of his enforcement act, his enemies
might have tangled and confused
his statements inc made capital of
them. But all Volstead says is:
at is the law. The law must be
enforced" And there's no good
comeback to that.
But on railroads or coal mines or
matters not referred to the Judi
ciary Committee for action, Volstead
will talk as freely as the most ari-
ent advocate of booze will discuss
Volstead. Those issues, and not
prohibition, Volstead will tell you,
are the serious problems to be faced
just now.
There is probably no man in
congress whose name is so widely
known, but about whom rs an in
dividual so little is known. as Vol
stead.
Little Gray Man"
He might aptly be described as
1.-THE Little Gray Man."
Sixty-two years of age. slight of
build, unassuming in carriage and
presence, the outstanding factor in
his is the leaden-gray
overtone that seems to enshroud
him.
His plan, rather darkish-gray suit
matches almost perfectly in hue the
gray of his mustache and his hair.
which in turn blend with the gray
| of his eyes His serious. almost SOL
emn, attitude toward all subjects of
discussion, further cast a grayish
aura about his personality. There
is no suggestion of color, of gaiety,
or sparkle or s~cintillation about
him. Only quiet, earnest. serious
grayness.
Born in Goodhue county, Mimi,
in 1860, when that state was still
an outpost of our northwestern
frontier, Volstead is a product of
the Woodworking, serious-thinking
people with whom his whole life has
been cast.
Educated in public schools and
at st. Olaf's College, he was admit
ted to the bar of Minnesota in 1884.
After having served as president of
the board of education, city attor-
ney and mayor of his home town,
he vas county attorney of Yellow
Medicine county for fourteen years
before being elected to congress. He
is now completing his tenth term as
representative. His One child-a

The question of new fire station for
North Topeka, located on one. of the side
streets, has been under discussion for some
time and it is believed something definite
will be decided soon.
The present location of station No. 1,
the corner of Kansas avenue and Gordon
street, is a menace to the public, traffic
at this corner is imperiled whenever the
ffremen answer an alarm. The station also
is larger than necessary since the installing
of motor trucks in place of horse drawn
equipment Fewer men are employed now
A project is being discussed among the
business men of North Topeka of asking
the city to build new station and lease
or sell the present one to the Y NJ. c. A,
where a branch may be established for
the young men and boys of North Topeka.
With but slight remodeling the building
could be put in fine shape for this pur
pose, with a rest room and gymnasium.
This project has the backing of the North
Topeka Civic club and will be brought be-
fore the club FOR discussion at one of its
carly meetings.
North Topeka has long felt the need of
an establishment of this nature and it
would do much for the youth of this Sec
ton of the city. Just previous to the flood
of 1908 a branch of the Y. NJ. c. A. had
been started in North Topeka. rooms rented

The benefit derived from the study this
class offers cannot be too highly estimated
The course in itself is educational and Mrs.
