Full HarUest Moon Features
Official AUTUMN Opening

The beginning of official autumn

near together this year, bring to mind
rather an unusual phenomena in the
position of the sun, moon and our
earth In space.
For several evenings in succession
the great full moon" Will arise over
the eastern horizon and will give a
series Of brilliant moonlight nights
remaining above the western horizon
until late in the morning. The plan
cts and stars lose their luster when
the big orb of the September full
moon looms above the horizon to the
eastward as the sun sinks below TO
-he westward and as the moon rises
slowly toward the zenith the brightest
stars are diinmed in her autumnal
sweep through the heavens.

Harding's Warning to Smith.

President Harding, in logic that
cannot be controverted, has pointed
out to Gov. Smith the danger of sign
ing the bill repeating the law Of the
state of New York by which the state
authorities undertake to enforce the
Volstead act. Replying to a letter
from citizen urging that in case the
should convene Congress and that
body should discipline the legislature
and state officials for treason, in that
they fail to support the Constitution
of the United States, the President
points out the consequences which
will come from the repeal of the en-
forcement act. OF course, the disci-
pline suggestion is untenable, for
there is no constitutional warrant for
such action.
The danger which President Hard.
ing apprehends from repeal of the
enforcement act, thereby placing en-
tire responsibility upon the federal
government for carrying out the
eighteenth amendment and the act
of Congress, is a possible serious con-
f1ict between state and federal au-
thority. Il venture says the Presi-
dent, that if. by reason Of the re-
fusal Of any state to discharge its
proper duty in such connection, the
federal government is compelled to
enter upon the territory and juris-
diction of the state and to set up
those police and judicial authorities
which would be required, the most
difficult and trying situations would
inevitably arise. More or less conflict
between state and federal authorities
would seem unavoidable in such cir.
cumstances. The impression would
be created that the federal govern
ment was assuming to interfere with
the functions Of the states and the
distressing results that would ensue
readily suggest themselves
President Harding quotes Lincoln,
who said that the Union could not
exist half slave and half free. This
apt parallel Is made stronger by the
fact that when the words were ut.
tered there was no constitutional
amendment prohibiting slavery. The
eighteenth amendment is predicated
upon concurrence by the states in en-.
forcement, in fact and in spirit, along
with the federal government. This
fact Is attested by the prompt enact.
ment by the states Of enforcement
laws. Deliberate default by one Of
the states in support of the Constitu-
ton is a most serious evasion Of re-
sponsibility.
Politicians will see in the Presi-
dents letter loophole for Gov. Smith
to escape the responsibility Of his
promises to the vets. He can set up
the plea that repeal Of the act is in
fact q case of falling to support the
Constitution and that he and all state
authorities are sworn to uphold the
Constitution Of the United States.

In the building trades now there is
not only no Unemployment. but there
is an actual shortage of labor, and
the high prices are due in large part
TO that fact.

always be remembered that construc-

mally high prices represents invest
ment that must earn proportionate
returns in the future, or cause heavy
losses. A million-dollar building erect
