THE WET AND THE DRY.

The electien results of Tuesday are being studied for other reasons than to determine the republican or demo- cratic majorities. There were numerous instances where the vote of the people was sought in regard to prohibition of the Volstead act, and while this indi- cates only state sentiment it neverthe- less is bound to be reflected in wet and dry efforts in behalf of national legisla- tion in the. future.
 By the defeat of Representative Vol stead himself, it might have been re- garded as a direct rehlke to the law that bears his name were if not the fact that he has been replaced by con- gressman who is avoTeAiy dryer than the man whose name has come into such prominence.
 It is not overlooked of course that New Jersey gets new senator purely because he was an opponent of the dry law, that Illinois on a referendum ia. vors light wines and beer, that Massa chusetts on a referendum refused to en l derse an enforcement. act passed by tn; legislature for the uphoiding of the Vol stead act. Neither is it possible to pas I by the vote in Ohio in favor of the en foreement of the present law or that fl California where the latest figures indi I cate that the state has adopted stat law to harmonize with the Volstead act
 What has been done in these state doesn't affect the Volstead law. Ina can only: be done in congress, but it in dicates the, efforts that are being mad in. behalf of modification, resentment 2 the conditions which exist because CT fqFeenent is difficult, and in some in stances next to impossible, and makes
 clear that the fight oyer prohibition ca be expected to continue for some tim to come.

concessions to any supposed popu

lumpin-the-throat sentimentality.
As a literary chef Miss Ferber
is a wizard. To the simplest Of
ingredients-the drab. unromantic
commonplaces OF life-she adds a
touch of-well. that is her private
recipe, and nothing can describe

Executive. Anyone who does not
know exactly how the United
States finally acquired the right
to build a canal across the 18TH
mus Of Panama will do well to
read this book for that part OF II
alone, II for nothing else. It was
this incident, perhaps more than
any other. which acquired for
Roosevelt a reputation for impetu-
osity which was not altogether
deserved. Not long before his
death I heard Colonel Roosevelt
refer to this Panama achievement
and the horror 1t seemed to arouse
among certain venerable gentle
men on Capitol Hill. This Is what
he said:
"If the matter had n ested
solely in their hands (the Sen.
atorsD they would have been
talking about 1t still and the
canal would not be buift"-I
quote from an excellent memory,
nothing more-''but 1 built the
canal. and now they are dis
cussing me-a discussion which

interest"

velopments right up to the in.

teen years ago. At that time
Roosevelt had real admiration
for the Kaiser. view which
was vastly tempered by per-
sonal acquaintance during 1910.
Speaking of his tour of Europe's
capitals after his African hunt
ing expedition, Colonel Roosevelt
is quoted by Mr.. Rhodes as
saying:
"The only man of real ability
/ saw among the crowned heads
was the German Emperor and
he is superficial in his intel.
ligence, but has real executive
ability. He was eager to get my
opinion of himself and at last
said: If you were an Ameri.
can and lived In America you
would carry your own ward,
which is more than I can say
for any other Of the crowned
heads" Later Roosevelt thought
Wilhelm was "a great buffer"
AS a mirror of the United
States for the twelve years end
ing with the Inauguration of
William Howard Taft in 1909.

to stand alone. 1t is earnestly
to be hoped that in due time

under Taft and the eight under
Wilson will make their appear
