GEN. SAWYER PAYS
TRIBUTE To PRAYER.

Gen. sawyer recently gained ad
ditional renown by a new wrinkle
in invocation. At recent civic
ceremony the prescribing general
of the White House was stationed
well to the forefront of the spec
tators. His hearing is none of the
best. and there seems to have been
something of a nding
when a final benediction was an
nounced. The general Is so used 10
the concluding Star Spangled Ban
ner" that evidently no other end
ing to a ceremony suggested itself.
Accordingly he stood stiffly at sa-
lutte throughout the prayer amid
demureIy rfous smiles.

This year the King and the rest Of the island

Enforcement Impossible.

To the Editor. The wsshintton Herald:
Your editorial entitled Uncle
Sam. Bootlegger" is splendid. but I
fear you are a little in error when
you say that probably q majority
Of intelligent Americans believe
that prohibition can and will be
enforced"
Americans believe that IL is impos-
sible to enforce prohibition. and
that they believe prohibition TO be
just what 1t is. namely. a failure
and a folly. IL indeed IL is not a
fraud on the public and a national
crime.

suit of prohibition?

was freely sold on both boat and

intoxicated person was seen, but
they were as a rule inoffensive. II
he became disorderly he was
promptly made to go in chains

to the police.
Now. under prohibition. there Is
disgraceful riot. resulting in the
death of at least one person.
We were told that with nation
wide prohibition we would have no
more use for prisons. The last
grand jury report says that the
jail n Washington is not half big
enough.
In Guilford. England, with iol
saloons. there was one arrest for
drunkenness in nve years: in PROFIT
bition Washington there were
ninety-six arrests for drunkenness
In forty-eight hours. That speaks
well for prohibition. don't think.
why does not the Constitution

sea? I read that the Constitution
does not apply to the Philippine
Islands. why not? Is there
slavery there7 Have they full
suffrage or have they not? Or laws
regulating religion. which are for
hidden by the Constitution
The best thing we can do with
prohibition is to abolish Il. and rid
our Constitution Of the Eighteenth
amendment, which is a foul blot
upon its fair pages.
In the meantime Il is part OF the
supreme law Of the land. and Il Is
our duty to obey II and to en-

we can. for its enforcement IL al

Immortality of Soul.
To the Editor tn. Washington Herald:


Kindly permit me a word of re-
lief tS two recent correspondents
of the Open Court. DR.. II. r. Evans
and Mr.. G. c. Tanner, with respect
to the Immortality OF the soul and
its bearing upon the destinies oi
mankind in this world. That the
doctrine does bear a grave and
solemn relation to the trend OF
human affairs there can be no sue.

scientists and thinkers among map

its belief and acceptance. But, not
withstanding this belief and ac-
centance. the fact remains that the
doctrine is a strong delusion" and
calculated by its great author to
work incalculable harm to all OF
mankind.
II is the very bedrock foundation
of all spiritualism. The real aim
of all spiritualism is to engage the
whole world in an active warfare
against God and His kingdom OF
Righteousness. For they are tl,-
spirits of devils working miracles
which go forth unto the kings of
the earth. and of the whole world to
gather them to the battle of that
great day OF God Almighty. Ano

earth and their armies gathered to-

world Since his ejectment from
heaven he has been a vagrant In

home. He has wantonly abused the
hospitality accorded him by man ir
that he has labored night and day
to destroy makind from of the
earth in order to possess IT for him.

of the doctrine of the Immortality

The position comes as a reward
for his sterling work in Harding's

Van Fleet was Harding's campaign

To him is given most of the

G. WASHINGTON INJECTED
INTO BONUS FIGHT.
|;s Z;

ANHS DONO = AonAs
Did George Washington accept q
bonus after the Revolutionary war?
This is the latest agitation point in
the bonus fight. Senator Borah says
he didn't. But Tom Watson insists
that George accepted his share of
the land bonus which was allotted
to the Revolutionary soldiers. Each
gentleman is very positive the other
is wrong.
But 1t does appear to be q matter
of positive record that the handful
Of Colonial troops engaging in the
French and Indian wars were
awarded 800 pistoles (equal to $4,000
today by the Virginia legislature
in gratitude for their services. Re-
grettably, the example of the
French and Indian. Revolutionary
and civil wars seems to butter no
parsnips for the world war boys,
who are accused bitterly by various
solons OF '.capitalizing patriotism
and fighting for mere money" As
Senator Ashurst acridly remarked:
When Horatius stood at the bridge
on the Tiber and assisted. IL he did
not lead, the fight in hurling back
the invading hordes, Rome was SO
grateful that they concluded. in the
language Of Mscaulay:
To give him of the corn land,
which was the public right,
As much as two strong oxen could
plow from morn to night"
II Horatius had been at the
bridge In these days and had helped
hurl back the invading force. and It
had been proposed to give him as
much Of the corn land as two oxen
could plow from morn to night, II
would have been said that he was
