DRY LAW UNFAIR
To MAJORITY, IS
CHARGE Of KAHN
Also Breeds Contempt for Law,
Says Administration

While the prohibition amendment
was before Congress, many Sena-
tors and Congressman told me
they were going to vote for it be-
cause they wanted to take prohibi-
ton out of politics. I told them
It would put prohibition into poll.
tics worse than ever, and events
have proved i was right.
Before the country went dry an
overwhelming majority of Amer
leans drank a little. They did not
get drunk; they were a law-abiding
people who respected the laws Of
the land.
When the country was given pro-
hibition through war measure
they resented it. They are show
ing their resentment now at being
deprived of the little they did
drink before the passage of the
Eighteenth amendment.
There are only about 10000 900
violent prohibitionists in the United
States. These 10000, 900 to save
about 100000 who drank to excess
and were too weak to overcome the
liquor habit forced prohibition on
the majority, who never abused
drinking.
Law Violations Result.
Before the prohibition amend.
ment went into effect there were
no people on earth more sober,
more law-abiding, more self-respect-
ing than American people. Peo-
pie who never violated the law
then are violating it now to get
drinks.
Contempt Of law is a very bad
thing. Prohibition is teaching con-
tempt Of law. 1t Is looked upon as
a joke. That the great mass OF
people take 1t in this spirit is shown
by the results Of the recent
primaries.
Prohibition in still too new to be
made a political issue by either
party but resentment against II Is
coming into the open and the
victories scored in the recent
primaries by avowedly wet candi-
dates should serve as warning that
the reaction will be made felt in
votes.
No one wants the return Of the
saloon but neither does any rational
American want irrational extreme
laws.
Sees Congress Slipping Back.
Many members of Congress who
have the reputation of being "drys"
feel as do, but haven't the courage
TO express their views.
In fact Congress does not seem to
have the caliber of men II used to
have. It's membership doesn't seem
to measure up to that OF fifteen or
twenty years ago. In those days II
had statesmen-men with the cour-
age to express their convictions and
the brains to lead.
Why can't we get men of that
caliber any more? think the d.
rect primary is the answer. The
old fashioned political convention
selected a much finer type of candi-
date than is chosen in primaries. A
candidate for the primaries hires a
press agent. The press agents
brain works up something that ap-
peals to the public. The candidate
may not know what 1t is all about
but 1t sounds good.
But we are gradually returning TO
normalcy. 1t will take probably
five years, think, to get back to
normal conditions. Then we'l get
rid of the extreme radicals and their
irrational laws.

When Gov. Miller goes next week on

an ordinary Pullman sleeping car.
For three weeks the Governor and his

les.
One of the first campaign canards was
put out yesterday, to the effect that

lent railroad official for his use and with
all the luxurious equipment known. The
rain even was to have its own engine.

REPUBLICANS VOTE
TO PULL TOGETHER
One Big Campaign Instead OF
TndiUiduoI Efforts.

Team work under direction of the
State committee rather than individual
campaigns carried on by candidates and
their own committees is the plan adopted
by the Republican managers for the
State political battle.

had placed a ban on Independent drive,

Under the new rules no contributions
will be accepted by the general com.

the latter may contribute to their own
expenses IL they wish to do 80. This
does away with the old time arrange
ment of having half a dozen campaign
headquarters, each conducted In the in
terest OF one candidate and each with its
corps of solicitors out for funds. With
the Stata committee as dictator there
will be coordination of all effort The

Michiganites Are Strong
 For Arkansas Potatoes

Russellville, Ark, Nov. 27.--James Claunch, of Centeryille, Mich., who is visiting relatives in Pope county, claims to have introduced the gen uine Arkansas Nancy Hall sweet potato in his home community, and says people up in Michigan are all strong for it. While visiting down here five years ago he carried five sweet potato plants home with him. lie gave these to neighbor, 'lho planted them and grew big crop of vines and few potatoes the first year. The next year he had better success, and as the potatoes became acclimated the yield grew better each year. This year the neighbor pro- duced eleven bushels from nine short rows, and sold his surplus at $1.59 per bushel. Sweet potatoes arc seldom served on the table as food in the north, but Dr. Claunch says those who once sample the Arkansas Nancy Hall pronounces it very fine table food.

He was advised of telcsrams and letters from nu- merous influential friends of France in this country that the tenor of his speeches and inter- views giving offense needless ly and was inexpcdient.

they can buy some of this 40 proot for the people swamp hector for which the empire county is justly famous. No California boom city of 20 had anything on Blytheyille. The money is here and the city coun- cil means that it shall stay here and that no fly-by might dealers shall reap a golden harvest at the expense of substantial local mer- chants. Under the new ordinance passed yesterday no licenses or per mits will be issued to the unwelcome visitors and prompt and effective measures will be taken to see they stay out.
 This movement, adopted at both Blytheville and Jonesboro, is very similar to the one The Daily Press has been advocating for Paragould. Now, unless Parasould takes similar action, this city will be a veritable rendezvous for street fakers and
 grafters. Surely, the Paragould Board of Aldermen will take prompt and definite action in this matter.

Marion, H., Nov. 27.-The great American game of select ing jurymen was resumed today here in the first Herrin, Hi nois, massacre trial with only three days remaining before there will be an adjournment of court for the weekend on account of Thanksgiving.
 Attorneys for the state had expected to stage a whirlwind campaign to fill the jury box in order that the taking of testimony might be started i'm mediately after the Thanksgiv- ing holidays.
 Four jurors have been perma- nently selected with three more held tentatively. More than two hundred veniremen dismiss ed was the score as the fourth week was entered since the pro- oeedings started.
