but is to be initiated and the imita-
tive tendency is carried out with a
perfection seldom achieved by the
most consummate actors on the stage
Every "reformer" knows of this un-
quenchable spirit of childhood, and
almost all have written of it in mer-
tied praise. SO there can be no ques-
tion of the fact itself, nor of the far
reaching influence of family practices
and customs on the plant mind of the
child.
In many instances prohibition has
not only taken the use of liquor from
the saloon to the house, but its man
ufacture from the distillery and brew
cry to the kitchen and cellar, thus
bringing it within the purview of the
child's own world, joining with all the
intimacies of the life to which he has
given his fullest loyalty and unques-
tioning approval.
There are all shades from this ex-
treme picture of the extent to which
Volsteadism has been effective in
transferring the indulgence in intoxi-
cants from the saloon to the home.
In any case, just to the extent to

Several new stunts will be added

pected. The Walnut Aids annual
spring festival is fast becoming
known as a fixed institution, and al.
ways goes over big. There's rea-

The Effect Of Prohibition Upon
Children, Girls and Women

One of the most lamentable effects
of the many evils of the prohibition
system is the spread of drunkenness
among classes that were never touch
ed in the worst phases of the open
saloon
Here, as elsewhere, are to be found
the mischievous workings of the dis
torted theories of the prohibition re-
formers when put to practical tests
What is row in mind is the remark
able increase in the use of the worst
forms of intoxicants, in the worst pos
sible manner, among children, young
girls and women.
The evidence on this score is ample
and incontestable 1t is encountered
with frightful frequency in the rec
ords of the courts and in the columns
of the daily press.
Is attempted prohibition enforce
ment responsible for this state of af-
fairs? If so, why? An attempt will
be made to give the answers.
The most touching characteristic of
childhood is that of unquestioned con-
fidence in the elders of the family.
Whatever they do is not only right,

POWER BRINGS RE-
SPECT

Charlotte, n. C.-The old adage
that power brings respect is again
verified in the Carolinas, where textile
workers are engaged in unionization
campaign. A few years ago no public
official or newspaper paid any atten-
ton to these workers. They were
looked upon as very desirable assets
to community providing they were
"contented"
Oh late, however, the textile worker
is being noticed. These men and wo-
men are organizing. They are ac-
quiring power Their officials, under
direction of the United Textile Work
ers, are making public the profits of
textile mills, and citizens throughout
the Carolinas are having their eyes
opened as a result of the aggressive
ness of these workers. Newspaper
editors have also opened their eyes.
They have discovered new force in
the community and are now engaged
in the pleasing task of giving advice.
When the textile workers were unor-
ganized they were ignored. Now they
are told the beauties of the golden
rule and the blessedness of meeting
their employers "in the proper spirit"
The textile workers note these
changed attitudes, which are the best
proof that they are on the right road
when they join a trade union.

Thousands Pass Bier
 As Tribute To Friend

MARION, O., August 9.-(By Asso- ciated Press. s-Warfen G. Hardlng friends and neishbors tonight were passing by his bier in the home of his father, Dr. George T. Harding, ST paving a last tribute to his memory a President and citizen.
 They began the slow and solemn march past his coffin at 7 o'clock this afternoon, and by Mrs. Hardlng orders, they were to be permitted to pass by until the last in line had an opportunity to say silent farewell l. if it took until the sun begins to brighten the eastern skies tomorrow
 The stream of humanity, cosmopoli- tan as that of the mighty nation seemed without end as the hours of the night dragged along. By o'clock it was estimated that more than 5000 already had filed past the flag draped coffin and pEobably that many more still were in line moving slowly toward the Harding home. At that hour they were pass ing through at the rate of about 40 per minute, or 2,400 ner hour.
 The line early in the evening had extended down East Center street to two blocks beyond the office of the Marion Star which until recently was controlled by the late President.
 once in the line, few left it, ap- apparently determined to stay there until they had seen the face of thir departed friend, Whole families stood in line and oftimes there could be seen a babe In arms along with an aged grandparent.

time and something of his ambitions for the future.
 Beyond her decision to make Ma rion her residence after her visit to Washington and to spend most of her time during the next year or two at the home of her brother, Clifford E. Klng, Mrs. Harding gave her visitors no definite idea of her future plans. She was said to have expressed desire to travel, to go to Europe on tour, but realizes that such a prosopal would meet with op- position on the part of her medical advisers and for that reason, must be abandoned.
 Referring to the residence where she and the late President had lived before they went to Washington to occupy the White House, Mrs. liar ding told her callers that she would Keep her bargain" with those who had leased that property, and since the lease did not expire for more than a year she could live very hap oily during that time at her broth- CTS house.
 One of the changes made today in the plans for tomorrow's procession to the cemetery was said to have been at the personal request of Mrs. Harding. AS result, the employees of "The Marion Daily Star' will march in the procession, taking their place just behind the honorary pail bearers immediately in the rear of the hearse.
 It was in the office of the Marion Star. then published by the late President that Mrs. Harding learned the newspaper business. She was the "circulation manager" at that time and worked with her husband in that capacity for several years following their marriage.
