People Everywhere Tired OF
Prohibition, Kentuckian De-
cIares in Senate.
By International News Service

People everywhere in the United
States are tiring OF prohibition.
Senator Stanley DemJ OF Kentucky
asserted today in attacking in the
Senate plans OF the AntfSaloon
League TO war on doubtful" Seps-
tors and Congressman seeking re
election this fall.
Thoughtful citizens everywhere
view with genuine alarm, and many
with grief and dismay, the persis
tent effort of intolerant organiza-
tions TO project the Government into
every detail OF the citizens life. to
wipe out State lines, to destroy
local self-government and to estab-
lish an inquisitorial regime as oppres
sive as the tyrannies OF Russia or
Prussia" Stanley declared.
Reaction against prohibition, Stan
ley attributed TO it's "invasion of
personal rights" He declared Lin
coin would have fought the ''prin-
ciples of Volsteadism" with the
same adherence that he did the
institution of chattel slavery"
II am gratified to see everywhere
the propitious signs Of a determined
effort on the part of patriotic men
and women to resist further cen
tralization of power in the Federal
Government by these intolerant or.
ganizations," he added. Il am also
aware that the champions OF autoc-
racy and intolerance have declared
that those who oppose bigotry and
oppression must answer for II with
their political lives. They forget
the 1000, 900 Of our boys who We're
ready to die. If need be. rather than
see a foreign power destroy the hb-
critics of our country. 1t would be
a poor statesman who would be
more careful of few years IN
office than our boys were OF long
vista of life that awaited them Al

One of the delegates to the

League convention called for her
mail at the desk at her hotel
this morning. A bell-hop said
to her:
Lady, | used to see you
down in our regiment. Don't
you remember me?"
The boy had served overseas
with the 10th Infantry of the
Twenty-ninth Division - the
blue and gray division. made up
Of Virginia. Maryland and Dis
trict Of Columbia troops-and
the girl had been in charge of
the "Y" hut Of the 10th in
France.
And on another occasion one
of the girls was in the act Of
dropping her fare in the box.
when the street car conductor
smiled. politely lifted his cap
and inquired if she hadn't been
in his regimental hut overseas.
The buck privates are not the
only ones who haven't forgot

the other generals remember
the overseas girls. The gen.

Here are the chief planks In her
platform. which. she says. makes
an appeal TO the women Of her
State. as well as the farmers.
State owned banks TO establish
ownership OF credit by the people
instead OF private interests.
Sweeping reduction of taxes.
Stabilizatior Of process OF farm
products.
Popular referendum on war.
No compulsory military training.
These ideas may sound radical.

this sweeping platform.
"Radicslism is chiefly a matter OF
information" she added. Its tn"

There's the idea of a State-owned
bank. Well. in my opinion, It's ex-
tremely stupid to turn over to pri-
vate interests the money OF the peo-
pie to be manipulated for private
property. Australia has state-owned
banks and they are most successful.
The farmers in my State. as well
as other sections OF the Northwest
are in a desperate condition. They
must have relief. for one thing. from
oppressive taxation.
Farmer Needs Help.
"Stabilization of the prices OF farm
products Is also necessary to put the
farmer on his feet again. He has
been selling below the cost OF his
product. and. II prices are not sta
