PRESIDENT TO GIVE
GOVERNORS VIEW
No Comment on Pinchot Sug-
gestion Before Saturday
Parley.

President Coolidge will present his
views on prohibition to the governors
law-enforcement conference to be
held here Saturday and in the mean
time will have no comment to make
on Gov. Pinchot's suggestion that the
President take into his own hands
THE task of dry-law enforcement.
At the opening of the governors
conference the President is expected
10 discuss the question of enforce
ment I'm some detail. but it is not
known to what extent he will deal
specifically with the Pennsylvania
governors suggestion as made in an
address yesterday at the citizenship
conference here.
Henry ]. Allen, former republican
Governor OF Kansas, who was a
luncheon guest at the White House
this afternoon, took issue with Gov.
Pinchot's suggestion that the Presi-
dent personally take over prohibition
enforcement.
Striking back at the PENNSYLVANIA
executive, Gov. Allen declared with
much emphasis. "If ! were governor
of a state and city in that state
defied my orders TO close up saloons
violating the law the citizens Of that
city would wake up the next morning
at the sound of a bugle reveilie and
would go to bed to the tune of taps,
] would keep the state military IN
that city until my orders Were
obeyed."
Gov. Allen added that while he had
the highest regard for the Pennsyl-
vania governor, he thought it III ad-
vised for him to cast reflection upon
the President in the matter OF pro
hibition enforcement. Gov. Allen In
making his retort, had in mind the
refusal on the part of the authorities
of Philadelphia to obey the order OF
Gov. Pinchot to close 1900 saloons
operating in that city.

Washington decides there Is need of

case has been worked up against
powerful offenders. mysterious infu-
ences begin to work from Washing

when some official is shown up in our
local communities as ineXcusubly fail
ing to get results, the case goes to
Washington and is conveniently lost
in endl ess red tape.
I'VE get all sorts of explanations,
assurances, cross references and alibis
ad nauseam, but we don't get results!
And we don't know for certain what
are the facts We are weary of
camouiage and smoke screen, and

1--WE want somebody on whom the
churches can rely TO start the busi-
ness of giving US the facts. from
Washington. We don't want 1t from
any administration trying to defend
itself, nor from its enemies trying to
destroy it. We want ii from an
agency of our own kind that will
stand like the old time prophet on the
wall and cry aloud. We want it to
be plain and explicit. We want 1t to
find out just WHO'S responsible. in
each case and to cry. Thou art the
mani Then back in our, communi-
ties we'll help, attend to that man.
Give us, this from Washington and
give US such organizations in every
Community, and.prohibition will pre-

While no facts are obtainable re-

1T is notorious that disobedience to
the eighteenth amendment has been
fragrant in the Capital city" declared
Gov. Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania
addressing the citizenship conference
yesterday afternoon at a meeting In
the Central High School Auditorium

active practice and encouragement OF
law breaking by officials high in the
government of the United States. We
cannot expect other~communities to

leader among tie law breakers.
Washington~has set the bad example,
and it is for Washington to repair
the damage"
Gov. Pinchot declared that the
President should take personal charge
or suppressing the whisky rebellion"
as George Washington did in his day.
He said that In his judgment two
steps should be taken to bring about
enforcement Of the prohibition law.
Would Eliminate Politics.
First, he said, the federal enforce
ment service should be taken wholly
out of politics.
second, the mead or the federal pro-
hlbition enforcement service should
be placed directly under the Presi-
dent and made responsible to him.

barrel graft money paid by brewers
for immunity. This belief receives
strong confirmation when a brewery
is caught bribing state policemen
(who were both promptly discharged
from the force and prosecuted). Even
stronger confirmation is found in the
fact that high-power beer Is manu-
featured and sold throughout the
state by the illegal operation of
breweries holding federal licenses.

garding taxes.
In another place she stressed the
fact that more attention should be
paid to prosecuting cases against big

Mr.. Bryan declared that prohibition
