 Prohibition in Practice.
(New York Post. )

Exravagant claims by extremists both sides of the prohibition fence have left most persons in doubt regarding the actual working of national pro hibition Nothing is easier than to cite fact or set of figures which seems to prove conclusiy ely that prohibition is fiat failure complete suc- cess. On the one hand it is pointed out that i'm ports of spirits during 1921 almost double the imports of 1920. On the other hand, Commissioner Haynes estimates that there 20, 100000 drinkers
 in this country before prohibition and that there are only 2500 900 now. Such statements are less sig of imports of spirits loses most of it's portenousness when we find that it means less than q seventh of similar imports in 1916. And MT Haynes drink ers either before prohibition or now rest upon too uncertain a basis to be taken seriously. We need better evidence than this before make up our minds as to how prohibition is working.
 Such evidence has been the object of the articles which the Evening Post has been publishing upon the working of prohibition in various cities It is the object of the article by Chester T. Crowel in the Independent which print this page today These investigations establish few crucial facts They clearly and concisey presented in the sum mary at the beginning of Mr. Crowell's article The central fact MT. Crowel expresses in these words: Taking the country as whole, the progress made towards actual enforcement of prohibition is cer- ainly as great as saney optimistic person could have expected. In this statement lies the explana- tion the disappointment which both the friends and the foes of prohibition have felt Few friends of reform are 'sanely optimistic" Most of them sangune of immediate and complete success. It's foes are equally sangune immediate and utter failure Neither of these things has happened in the enforcement of prohibition The fight over enforce men has been bitterly fought than either side expected Hence the nervous and vociferous claim of each side to more than it can actually show.
 On the prohibition map the larger cities are of color. the rest of the country is of another The fight has rapidly narrowed to few ceners where local opinion is divided Broadly speaking, the na- ton is dry. It is net Ybone dry" But unless the Government relaxes it's effort the wet" margin is bound to be- steadily narrowed. In the long run it does not pay to fight law which is vigiantly exc cuted

Opening Up Alaska.
Seattle Times. ]

Legislation has been approved by Senate and House, subject only to minor Senate amendments in which the companion chamber is expected to concur promptly. which will open for entry considerable amount of choice Alaska farm land
 The legislation provides for agricultural entry on coal lands in the Territory. The law merely ap- plies to the Northland the same regulations obtaining in the United States under which surface patents may be issued locators properties that have been identified underlaid with mineral deposits
 There thus will be opened to settlers large areas which hitherto had been closed to them because of suspicion that they possessed mineral content To that extent, the measure will expedite settlement of Northern homesteads
 The legislation-and any other that opens up Alaskan agricultural lands to practical farmers must be welcomed by all real friends of the Territory

could ever have put him in his pres
ent position.
There are those who, admitting all
these things, say: Let him continue
in his present position. which he fills
SO admirably.
But, is this fair, either to Mr.. Mon
dell or to his party?
A quarter of a century ought to be
an ample apprenticeship for n man
to serve before entering the Senate.
No one will contend that he is duty
bound to remain in the House forever.
No one will deny the n~aturalness and
reasonableness of his ambition to sit
in the Senate. Then, why not now?
Four years ago he set aside person
al ambition, and for the sake of party
success, accepted reelection to the
House. Why should he be called up
ON to do this a second time
Others claim to believe that by NOV
ing up to the Senate MI. Mondell
would suffer great loss OF prestige.
and have to start again at the bottom,
as it were, and hat Wyoming would
thereby be the sufferer.
There is little to this. No man of
Mr.. MondelI's national reputation and
proven ability could fail to be a power
in any body of men where public af-
fairs are discussed and deliberated
upon.
The case of Oscar Underwood of
Alabama. formerly Democratic Speak
er of the House, is a fair comparison.
Mr.. Underwood is still serving his first
term in the Senate and yet is an ac-
~knowledged leader'of'h his party in that
body.
Is there any reason to doubt that
Mr.. Mondell would do the same?
Vote for Mondell, because he is a
Republican and the Republican party
needs him.
Vote for him because. if elected, he
will continue to be. as he has been,
your personal representative at the
seat of government, ever ready to aid
you with his unlimited experience and
influence.
Vote for him because his years OF
efficient service to his party and his
state entitle him to any office he may
desire within III power to bestow.

A FEW REASONS WHY
FRANK w. ONDEL
MUST BE ELECTED
Caroline L~ockhart)

ENNH
A voters reasons for his choice of
a candidate are either political or per
sonal, or both.
hey concern Frank W. Mondell
in his candidacy for the United States
Senate they are both.
No Republican, with any genuine
interest in his party's welfare, can
we'll refuse t o support him, because
Mr.. Mondell means too much to the
party, both in this state and in the
nation. His work as majority leader
in the House of Representatives and
the attendant influence and prestige
which he has thereby acquired have
made him well-nigh indispensable.
Never nave the problems confront
ing Congress been more complex or
more ~far-reaching in their effect upon
the country at large.
Never has the Republican party
been in greater need of strong, able
men to represent it at Washington.
BY reason of its absolute control of
Congress, the sole responsibility for
the successful reconstruction of our
national affairs rests upon the Repub-
lican party, and 1t is requiring the
party's most effective thought and ac-
ton to accomplish the end.
No man of Mr.. Mondell's ability,
force, and influence can possibly be
spared at this time.
Efficiency is the keynote of Mr..
Mondell's character; and from the
personal viewpoint we must consider
this. Whatever he does he does thor.
oughly and well. There are few, II
any, other representatives in Congress
whose records in this respect can
compare with his.
He is the representative OF the PEG,
pie of Wyoming. collectively and in
dividually, not in theory but really
and actually, in the true sense of the
word.
A few years ago Frank Mondell
could claim a personal acquaintance
with almost every man and woman
in Wyoming.
By reason of the great influx of out
side population and by reason of the
added demands of the responsibilities
and duties of his high position, which
have recently prevented his formerly
frequent and extended visits among
the people of the state, this condition,
probably, no longer exists. But ever
now it is difficult to find a man who
has lived in the state even afew years
who, IL you ask him, will not recall
with. satisfaction some personal mat
ter or thing in which Frank Mondell
has directly advised him or helped
him.
Whether it was a matter of strai
/ ghtening out some humble home
steader's patent in Jackson's Hole, OF
advising some new postmaster in Sun
light Basin. or assisting in some mat
ter of greatet Importance to some O
our more influential and wealthy citi
zens, he has ever been at the call O
his individual constituents.
Seemingly overwhelmed with tn,
affairs of the nation and themanifolt
public duties INF responsibilities o
his position, he has never been to-
busy to interest himself, when ere
quested, in the affairs OF the mos
humble citizen Of the state he repre-
sents.

Seldom has tennis gallery been

liam T. Tilden, I'd, Of Philadelphia.
The lqnky champion raced through Sid
ney Z. Beale, of Boston, without the
loss Of single game in their three
set match in the fourth round. 1t Is
rare occurrence for any player to
win every game of match IN the
round before the semi final, and 1t Is
only on rare occasions that any man
is in such stroke as the mighty Tilden
showed.
In the Longwood challenge round
two years ago William NJ. Johnston,
Of San Francisco, then national cham.
pion. crushed Nathaniel w. Niles. OF
Boston, in straight sets, winding up
a brilliant effort with thirteen straight
games. Such instances are few and
far between. Playing as he did yes
terday, Tilden would have swept any
opposition before him. True, his ad-
versary was weak and feeble in a
comparison of stroke ability, but
against any one such scores are elo-
quent.

Tilden faces Lawrence B. Rice
this afternoon. Rice has beaten Tilden,
but this afternoon he will be satisfied
to make a good showing against the
lanky one. Rice, yesterday, outdrovee
and outplayed the veteran Nathaniel
w. Niles in four sets. This was the
only real encounter in the four matches
that composed the round before the
semi finals. ..''.
Dick Williams was in fine form
yesterday. When he is that way 1t Is
futile for any one to oppose the former
Davis Cup captain. Williams dropped
FIVE games to Albert H. Chaplin, OF
Springfield and Williams College.
Chaplin is no wizard with a racquet, but
he is a prospect. In this tournament
last year he took set from Willis
Davis and gave that Californian a real
scare before yielding. Williams, how
ever, eventually won the match.
