Another prophe effect Of repeal OF
the enforcement law by New York promptly
materialized. 1t was predicted that New
York's example would be followed by other
wet states in repeating their enforcement
laws. Wisconsin was the first to come to bat
in an effort to this end, which has not yet
been accomplished, however. A bill has
passed the lower house of the legislature by
the narrow margin of 48 to 49, proposing re-
peal of the state enforcement law, and now
is in the senate, which is reported to be dry.
Press dispatches announce that Senator La
Follettee, the greatest political power in the
state, is against repeal considering it not
good political asset for his party
X * X
Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York con-
tinues to be the recipient of bouquets and
a target for brickbats for his action in sign
ing the repeal bill He is in high favor with
Tammany and the democratic party in New
York and with wet and near-wet democrats
in other states. But he is arraying against
himself should he contemplate being a can
d1date for the presidential nomination. many
powerful interests and influential democratic
leaders. Some church organizations are al
ready aligning in opposition to him.
The most bitter attack thus far against
the governor and his supporters was issued
by Clarence True Wilson, general secretary
OF the board of temperance, prohibition and
public morals of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, who has written a letter to Metho-
dists everywhere. The letter says the pur-
pose of having Presidents "is to protect, de-
fend and enforce the Constitution and admin
lister the laws for the good of the people
Smith is purely nullfcationist. We are not
in politics, but serve notice that we will
not stand for Brother Smith for President"
The letter goes on to say: Those who talk
OF Gov. Smith presidential candidate
only brand themselves with the infamy that
is inside of them and that they ought to
conceal"
The impression is gaining strength in
some democratic quarters that Gov. Smith
may soon clarity the situation by renouncing
any presidential aspirations and devoting
himself to furthering the movement for
amendment of the Volstead act along the
lines suggested in his statement which ac-
companied the signing of the repeal bill

President and National Chairman Adams
In Amicable World Court Disagreement

President Harding and Chairman Adams
of the republican national committee are in
accord on granting representation to women
on the national committee. Full and official
representation can be authorized only by the
national convention, but meanwhile steps can
be taken as an evidence of good faith in that
direction. Chairman Adams is to get into
communication with republican national COM
mitteemen and secure authority for the ap-
pointment of women in an advisory capacity
on the committee, one woman from each
state. Then, when the national committee
meets in December to issue the cali for the
convention of 1924, a resolution will be pro-
posed recommending that the convention
grant full representation TO women on the
national committee.
Aftermath of New York's repeal of its
prohibition enforcement law furnishes de-
velopments and discussions in many quarters
In New York city the expected happened
when police participation in enforcement was
withdrawn, although Gov. Alfred f. Smith
had announced in his memorandum accom-
panyng the signing of the repeal bill that
repeal would not relieve the police from re-
sponsibility in upholding the federal prohi-
bition law.
Within few days of that statement the
corporation counsel of the city rendered an
opinion in which he declared that the city
was under no responsibility to enforce the
law. Immediately the police commissioner
announced that the special squads of police
men assigned to enforcement would be with
drawn. 1t is said that this action will take
10000 New York city policemen from active
duty of enforcement, while there are not
more than 200 federal agents in the state
President Harding is reported as planning
a conference with federal prohibition en-
forcement officers before he leaves for his
trip. The Secretary of the Navy and the
Secretary of War both have declared against
the feasibility of employing Navy and Army
forces on enforcement work, and meanwhile
the funds available for civilian employees for
such work are not adequate for the magni-
tude of the undertaking. II follows that
Congress next December will have to be
called upon for increased appropriations, and
this is expected to open up the whole liquor
question in debate.

Hold Foreign Markets Won

Hold your foreign markets! That's
the warning that the United States

In his letter, Secretary Wallace saws:

attitude toward the world court plan on the
part of some of his callers, who afterward
gave out mistaken construction OF his at
