PROHIBITION SENTIMENT EXPRESSED

Strong sentiment against the strict enforcement of the 18th
Amendment and Volstead Law is disclosed by the first 100000 votes
cast in the Literary Digests poll, as reported by that publication
in it's July %, issue. The count was of votes received up to July
6, and there had been received $4,000 votes to be counted in addi-
ton to the 100000. 1t is but the beginning OF the "straw referen-
dunn" but it is an indication of sentiment the more striking since
the second 100000 votes did not differ materially in percentages
on the three issues presented from the first 100000 thousand.
About one third of those sending in ballots, 342o percent to
be exact, declared in favor of strict enforcement. Modification to
permit light wines and beer was favored by 41.9 percent and re-
peal advocated 2201 percent. The totals were 1851 for enforce
ment, S5,151 for modification and 1856 for repeal.
1t may safely be assumed that all those who favor repeal would
favor modification if they cannot get repeal so that 63.O1 of those
expressing themselves thus far are in favor OF modification, almost
a two to one vote against enforcement as now attempted.
Whether or not such a modification as is suggested in the sec
ond issue presented could be made constitutiona1y may be a ques-
ton but aside from that the figures thus far secured make it clear
why there is 10 much complaint of opposition to and luke warmness
as to the enforcement of the law. The sentiment is, it would seem,
preponderately against the Volstead law.
But looking through the returns state by state, some of which
have sent in very few votes as yet, it becomes evident that repeal OF
the Amendment is out of the question. To block repeal only 10
state legislatures would have to stand pat on the position they took
for the adoption of the amendment and Is stand for strict enforce
ment in the straw ballot and Literary Digest says the figures indi-
cate 25 states against repeal and only 81 for repeal, leaving out two
states with small votes that were tied on the question.
William II. Anderson, superintendent of the Anti-SalOon League
in New York deplores the taking of the ballot and holds it is I'M
fair as modification els inherently Vicious and without authority
and that many advocates of enforcement will not send in ballots
for that reason. But even allowing for such refusals to vote it is
evident that with sentiment so divided, there will be no enthusiasm
for strict law enforcement for a long time to come and the Difficult
ties now being encountered may be expected to continue.
Arguments advanced cOndemning las law breakers" or as LAW
evaders' those who still use wine, beer or stronger beverages, on the
not prevail at once against such sentiment as the Literary Digest
count is showing, for the reply will be that the law for the en-
forcement of the 18th Amendment is not the will of a majority OF
the people of the nation.

UP TO SUPERVISORS

AS a result of the coming campaign for the election Of legisa-
tors the board of supervisors may have to decide whether or not
county employees shall be permitted to hold their positions as such
and at the same time serve in the legislature for a number OF county
officials are campaigning or IRE contemplating campaigns Tor seats
in one of the two houses.
If county employees may also serve IS senators OF representatives
it would be quite possible for eight of them to represent Maui in
Honolulu. In their absence their positions would have to be filled
at least temporarily. If the board did not fill the positions during
such absences it is a confession that the county has that number of
officials more than is necessary to conduct its business. Should the
positions be filed there are only two courses open to the board, it
must either pay additional salaries to additional employees or it must
grant a leave of absence without pay to the legislators who are also
on the county pay roll and pay the salaries they would draw to sub
sttutes during the absence OF those o such leave. 10 permit them
to resign and make temporary appointments, reappontng the origin
al office holders on their return from Honolulu, would be only a
subterfuge.
met some difficult financial problems for the county and in meet
ing them they have had to follow policies that were distasteful, such
as cutting the wages of road and other county day laborers, pairing
down the assistance that Is given to mdlgents and reducing greatly
the sums allowed to poor mothers to keep their children with them
and maintain a humble home for the little ones. Under such cir
cumstances it is not to be thought that the members of the board
who are drawing territorial pay for legisatng and take food from
the mouths of day laborers, of helpless old men and of frail little
children.
If satisfactory substitutes can be found for employees on leave of
absence of 60 days or more to attend the legislature, it may well be
asked why not employ such substitutes permanently
The buck seems to have been passed squarely up to the men,
bers of the board Of supervisors. They have established a reputation
for themselves as efficient economists. Taxes are high and tax pay
ers, especially the hOmesteaders and the small home owners, are
groaning under tax burdens. Those persons groans will become
loud complaints if they see officials being compensated with public
funds from two sources both from the county and from the terri
tory. If an official could combine and perform the duties of both
offices at the same time it would be a different matter. There is
the hours of the public office he holds, but he is paid to give certain
hours to the office to which he has been appointed, and the voters
have a right to exact such performance of duty. If such duties be
not performed they have a right to look to the appontive power to
see to it that the offices are properly filled by those who will per-
form the duties properly and the appointive officials will be held so
responsible.

1t Is rather peculiar that some newspapers persist in avoiding
the words that designate certain crimes, using several words to get
around them and make their meaning clear. 1t used to be "im-

ing of a word by a newspaper is silly prudery.

BROWNS HAVE slim
CHANCE To LAND
IN TITLE SERIES
New York Giants Out in Front
and Yankees Have Big
Start.
BIZ United Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 21-The New
York Yankees have the American
League pennant just about as good
as won.
With a lead of three and half
games, the Yanks are in a position
where they can lose four Of their
eight remaining games and the St.
Louis Browns can do no better than
tie with a clean sweep Of their seven
remaining games. If the Yanks win
only three out of the next eight
games. the Browns have to win all
seven to take the pennant.
In the National League, the Giants
are still in a favorable position with
a lead Of four and a half games over
the PittsburE Pirates.
The Giants have twelve more games
to play and the Pirates have nine.
If the Giants break even, the Pirates
will have to win nine straight games
10 finish first. If the Giants slump
and win only four Of their remaining
games, the Pirates will have to win
eight out Of nine. If the Giants win
seven % the twelve games they will
cinch the flag.
