WET APPEALS TO CON-
SCIENCE" OF u. S. SUP. COURT

An appeal to the conscience" Of the
Supreme Court is made in brief filed
by Robert A. Widemann, an unsuc-
cessful litigant, says a Washington
dispatch of April 20. He complains
that in recent decision by the SUI
preme Court against him in which he
attacked the constitutionality of the
Eighteenth Article of the Constitution,
the Supreme Court did not state its
reasons for ruling against him. The
court merely dismissed his case with
out opinion on the authority of cases
previously decided, which were cited
Widemann in his appeal says mem
bers of Congress voted for the Eight
ecnth Amendment in opposition to the
known wishes of the voters who
elected them" and assumed to excr-
else powers which those who elected
them expressly had denied to them
by constitutional mandate" =
American Issue does not know but
at this distance it appears that Friend
Widemann is due to further disap-
pointment at the hands of the SUI
preme Court.

BOOM FOR STANLEY

Vets OF the country have already
started boom for United States Sen
ator Stanley, of Kentucky, for presi-
dent in 1924 on booze platform.
Stanley led the fight for beer fer me-
dicinai purposes and has been touring
the country making wet speeches.
The liquor forces look tc him as an
idol and it is said he receives pro-
digious mail from booze boosters,
urging him to be candidate. Stan
ley's vote, were he to run for prcsi-
dent, would not make q respectable
showing in the Scattering" column.

The Legislative Committee of the
Ant-Saloon League of America issued
the following statement concerning
congressional primaries:
To the Friends OF Prohibition En-
forcement:
The situation which confronts the
people in the primaries which take
place between now and October to
nominate 435 Congressman and 50
United States Senators is challenge
to the friends OF law and order.
The retention of the Eighteenth
Amendment in the Constitution does
not OF itself insure Prohibition. While
two thirds OF Congress would be re-
CURED to resubmit the Eighteenth
Amendment for repeal nevertheless a
bare majority can weaken or repeal
the law to enforce it,
Thirty-four avowed national organi-
cations are now at work to discredit
the Prohibition Amendment to the
Constitution OF the United States, to
nullify its purposes and to defeat its
enforcement by the nomination and
election of wet congressman and
United States Senators.
The written declaration OF the AS
ISOLATION Against the Prohibition
Amendment leading this fight is, first:
To repeal the Nolstead act. Second:
To leave to every state the enforce
ment of Prohibition through state law
alone; and, Third; To legalize the sale
of beer and wine If this effort should
succeed there would be no federal law
and no federal officers to enforce the
Eighteenth Amendment States hav-
ing state Prohibition codes could en-
force such codes just as they did be-
fore National Prohibition, but wet
states would remain wet and we would
be exactly where we were before the
Eighteenth Amendment was adopted.
These wet states would become CEN
tiers for the distribution of intoxi-
cants throughout the nation. The pro-
hibition of the legal machinery for en-
forcing the Constitution means multi
fication.
The immediate objective OF the liq-
uor interests openly declared is to

NOTORIOUS CHICAGO
JOINT NOW BOYS CLUB

Pistol Inn, Chicago, which bore the
reputation OF being the widest dance
hall and saloon in the middle west.
has been turned into boys club and
home for the higher drama.
The joint was located in mo mans
land in the city, section where po-
licemen travel in pairs by day and in
squads and platoons by night.
In the heyday of license the police
seemed helpless to control the joint.
but year ago Federal Judge Lands
did what the police had been unable
to do and closed Pistol Inn by inunc-
ton for fragrant violation of the Pro-
hibition laws.
Then the Union League Club bought
the place and started a boys club.
Street gammins of eleven nationalities
were enrolled and as vehicle for their
transition into better Americans the
club decided to stage Shakespearean
plays.
The other day the New Dram
League of the Club presented GAS You
Like It." Frank Bacon, star of
Lightning, an invited guest, said:
"Your Rosalind is the most beautiful
ever saw. 1t was wonderful" After
the show Bacon met 1.-The Rosalind.

All the parts were taken by the boys.
Now they are planning to present a
Shakespeare repertoire in the city

U. S. SUPREME COURT
CONFIRMS JAIL TERM

Ike Lewisohn, until recently owner
of the Congress Cafe. 40 S. Wabash
avenue, must go to prison for year
for selling liquor in violation OF al
injunction issued by former Federal
Judge X. NJ. Lands.
The United States Supreme Cour,
shattered Lewisohn's last hope in ar
opinion denying a rehearing of the
appeal in the contempt case. The or
der of Judge Lands that he pay fine
of $1,000 and serve one year in prison
was finally affirmed.
The opinion was viewed with cspe-
cial interest by lawyers since doubt
less it will establish precedent that
will be followed by the court of last
resort in many similar cases now
pending on appeal from federal courts
in Chicago.
Lewisohn was convicted of con-
tempt of court in December, 1920

therefore, cannot be legalized under
the Eighteenth Amendment To per-
nit 275 per cent beer under the fed
eral law would not legalizc it in the
states that have prohibited such a
beer by state law We would have a
variety of standards in other states
which would encourage lawlessness
and result i'll chaos.
While the Eighteenth Amendment
is in the Constitution it should be hon
estly and uniformly enforced. Con-
gress by overwhelming majorities
has done its sworn duty in supporting
the Constitution by enacting Prohibit
ton enforcement laws. The people
are now facing the vital issue as to
whether they will be as loyal to the
Constitution as Congress has been and
defeat candidates for Congress who
will attempt to weaken or repeal the
National Prohibition act. Record
your convictions at the primaries and
at the election.
We strongly urge that this crisis
shall be met by the churches and by
all religious and civic organizations.
The alarm should be sounded i'll every
village, hamlet and city in the nation.

CINCINNATIAN CHARGED ).
WITH DRY LAW VIOLATION
Remus and His Pals Said to Have
Operated in Middle West
Extensively
BITTER FIGHT PENDING
Former Queen City Dry Agent
Also Draws Federal In
dictment

George Remus of Cincinnati Is un-
der indictments returned by the federal
courts in that city and indianapolis
charging with bootlegging and rum
running. Along with him brother
in-law and others are indicted, one of
these being r. E. Flora, former Pro-
hibtion agent at Cincinnati. Remus
is said to have carried on extensive.
operations in the illicit traffic through
out the middle west. The government
lines are being drawn about him and
there is doubt if all his wealth, politi-
cal pull and galaxy of famed lawyers
gathered from all parts of the country,
will save him from prison.
Remus is under bond in the Indian
apolis court for $4,000 and in the
Cincinnati court for more than double
that amount 1t is limited that before
the trials of Remus and his pals are
concluded some prominent persons
will be involved including bankers,
and that Investigations will show that
great financial interests were backing
Remus in his effort to nullify the dry
law.
Indictments against the defendants
are of the most serious character. The
Indianapolis Indictment charges con-
spiracy to violate the Prohibition law
as well as conspiracy to bride federal
Prohibition officers.
The indictment of Flora, former
Prohibition agent at CINCINNATI, along
with Remus and his associates, is said
to have been the outgrowth of the dis
appearance from Flora's safe in thet
federal building last fall of number
of permits which he had obtained from
the office of the Lawrenceburg distil-
lery, and which it is stated are neces-
sary links in the chain of evidence be-
ing brought by federal Prohibition
agents OF Cincinnati in connection with
whisky Withdrawals from the Law

es PCT. SCOTCH" WHISKY
BRO'T FROM CANADA DOPED

United States Marshal Ed. B. Benn
of Tacoma, Washington, says that not
over five per cent of the Scotch
whisky that is brought down from the
other side of the line is the real stuff.
The rest, he declares, is dopcd and the
great American sucker is paying the
bootleggers from ten to fifteen dollars
bottle for the same ingredients that
he could purchase at drugstore for
a little more than dollar. The Mar
shall says:
If man must commit suicide
he ought to be public-spirited
enough to patronize home indus
tries anyway and he can at least
keep his money from going over
to Canada where it is at pre-
MUM half the time.

SAVINGS BANKS VS.. THE
SALOON

Scott Bone, able citizen Sc
lected by President Harding as
boss Of Alaska, writes about the
changes out there. No more
saloons, no more gambling
hells, no more dance halls.
There is much prosperity, much
politeness. What the
dance halls, saloons and gam
blers once got goes now to the
savings bank, the church, new
coat of paint on the house, a
portable garage and car to
put in it.
Great improvement, but if you
told Bret Harte about it he
would say, I'm glad I'm dead"

MAMMOTH STILL CAPTURED

Last week one day Prohibition
agents in Baltimore captured what is
probably the biggest illicit still which
has yet been found in the country
The still was copper one, Is feet
high, and had capacity of 700 gal
Ions. The cost of installation is esti-
mated at $4,000 This still is be-
lieved to have been the source OF much
OF the bootleg liquor in circulation in
Baltimore and adjoining counties.

1T CAN BE DONE

The following by Edgar A.
Guest, has been adopted by
Federal Prohibition Commits
sioner Roy A. Haynes as the
law enforcement slogan:
1t Can Be Done
There are thousands to tell
you it can not be done.
There are thousands to
prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point
out to you one by one
The dangers that wait to as
sail you.
But just buckle in with bit of
grin;
Just take off your coat and
go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle
the thing
That can not be done and
you'll do it."
