THAT George Washington was
guilty of violating not only the Vol
stead act but also the Willis-Camp-
bell anti beer law. was the solemn de-
claration made in III @ senate Wednes-
day afternoon by Senator Watson OF
Georgia. The Georgian said that not
only did Washington violate the law
at home, but that he even went so far
as to exchange negro named tom"
for n hogShead of West Indian fire
water" 1t was the bonus that brought
the Father of his Country" into the
wet and dry" controversy. Senator
Borah last week challenged state
ment made by Watson that Washing
ton had not only been in favor of Il
bonus, but that he had accepted one
himself. Borah read from Hamilton's
papers and WaShingtnns own letters
to prove that Washington refused to
receive remuneration '1f any kind for
his services in the war of the revolu-
ton. Senator Watson said this was
true and said that he had referred to
Washington'S service i'll the Indian
wars when he not only received Il cash
bonus but also land grant. Sena-
tor Watson read Il letter addressed 10
Capt. John Thompson (Sailing mastcr)
in which Washington said: with this
letter comes negro, Tom, which |
beg the favor of YOU to sell in any
of the islands YOU may to for what
ever he will fetch, bring me in re-
turn for him one hogshead Of best mo-
lasses, one hogshead of best rum, one
barrel Of lines, if good and cheap. one
pot of tamarinda, two small pots of
mixed sweetmeats, and residue, much
or little, in good old spirits"

To be sure shipping board vessels
should be able to make money II allow
ed to sell liquor. Anybody can make
money selling liquor. 1t requires less
ability, less character, less capacity
less manhood to make money selling
liquor than it does to make money by
any other known occupation. But peo-
pie who make money selling liquor are
no use to themselves, no use to society,
no use to the world. We need an Amer
lean merchant marine to compete with
the merchant marine Of other nations.
We need to be the common carrier at
least of American goods-more es-
pecially the goods we ship abroad, and
also most of the goods we import. IL
may be that we cannot compete. with
foreigners in this business if we allow
them to sell liquor and we don't sell it.
But to say that we have to put up
with such competition is absurd. We
certainly have The right to control our
own ports. We not only have the
right: but we have the means and the
ability. No foreign merchant marine
can make any considerable headway
independently of American ports and
it is we'll within our right to close
American ports to them unless they
cut out their liquor at least so long as
they carry American goods or Amerl-
can passengers between American
ports. We would not let them make
us sell liquor because they do-not
lit of it, and we must not let them mo-
nopolize the common carrying trade
either.

President Obregon, of Mexico, is
quoted as saying that somebody is
pulling up jobs in Mexico to give out
siders bad impressions. That is easily
possible, American oil and mining in
terests want Mexican oil and other
resources and American control, and
when it comes to a thing like that it
is means to an end. The right and
wrong of the proposition don't count.
