These members, it was declared, prob

plan which Transit Chairman McAneny
and Commissioners Hardness and
o'Ryan have pointed out. The adop.
ton of the Hylan plan will mean the
holding up of all subway building fo,
at least fve-year period, during which
time the already overcrowded transit
lines will be called on to carry even
greater loads, to the increasing discom-
fort and inconvenience of passengers
And when finally completed the new
line will increase the number of double
fare points because the Mayor proposes
to operate it as an individual line.
In this way all free transfer points

The bill is grotesque, grotesque as to brand
it as campaign propaganda
If it were enacted and put into effect before
election, voters would be thinking more of the
bad effects revealed than of the special favors
conferred

at this particular time.
The writer Is particularly interested
in a letter on this subject written by
Allen Lowe, which appeared in The

believes in the Volstead law?
Friends of the Salvation Army were sorry TO
see Commander Evangeline Booth take the stand
she did on that question. They hope Miss Booth
will realize the justice and wisdom of the view
reached yesterday by the Citizens Executive Com
mittee for the Salvation Army Drive, that James
Speyer can be Chairman of the committee even
Sthough he continues to be National Vice President
of the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment
The work of the Salvation. Army has been noted
for humanity both broad and deep.
1t is about the last organization we should have
expected to find assuming the attitude that if an
American wishes to do good deed he must pass
the Anti-Saloon League test before he be found
worthy TO associate his name with organized forces
of philanthropy,
The only logical conclusion of such reasoning is
that man is unfit to give food to starving baby
if he believes it should be lawful for him or any
other man to drink glass of beer.
This test of worthiness may suit the Anti-Saloon
League.
But if attempt is made to apply it generally,
many springs of philanthropy in these United
States will also go dry

cratic platform, with downright anti-Vostead
law declaration figuring as chief plank.

District
Judge Irvine, avowedly wet, with modification
of the Nolstead law as his strongest plea carried

That is what courageous, straightforward
candidate asking for votes the issue of sensible
thinking about present Prohibition law can do in
dry section after two years of Nationwide Pro-
hibition.
There is mighty little comfort in it for the Anti
Saloon League
On the other hand it is the strongest sort of
encouragement for the forces that trying to get
back toward freedom and real temperance by
legalizing light wines and beer
