Female Politicians Will Give German Leaders Fight
 For Supremacy

BERLIN, August 5.-(By Asso- ciated Press.) .)-Male politicians will have harder runs for their jobs than ever when the 1870 women who are studying political economy and polit- ical science in the German univer- sities complete their courses. Most of these students are enrolled in Berlin university where they can make a first hand study of the rei- chstag proceeding. Thirty of the AT members of the national legislature now are women and they are being coached by the students, who are delving deep into social economic and political conditions and framing campaign plans for the election of more women to further the program of the deminist movement.

Memorial Exercises For Late Presi-

MONTENALLO, Ala, August D. (Special) l)-Memorial exercises were conducted Saturday for President Harding. J. Renfroe Curry, pastor of the Baptist church. conducted the re- 1gious exercises. President Palmer spoke briefly in regard to the out standing features of President liar ding's administration, reciting the main things that had been accom- plished and read extracts from edi- torials of Alabama papers about the life and work of President Harding. He then introduced Dr. A. w. Cal houn, who was requested to explain to the student body the changes that are automatically made in the gov ernment by the death of the presi- dent. Dr. Calhoun quoted what the constitution had to say about the succession of the vice president to president, explaining that there was much doubt as to the meaning of the paragraph, but the decision that was made at the time of the death of President Harrison has been followed ever since. He then explained about the making of cabinet officers suc- cessors in case of death or resigna- tion of the vice president after he be- comes president.

tional revenue and their position in the country's financial activity so important; their hold on the appe- ttes of pledsure-loving Americans of low and nigh degree so strong and of such long standing, that their complete dethronement by a single jaw seemed to them and possibly to some of those who had labored against them through long years, to be one of he impossibil1ties.
 It is true. The conscious daring of the American people wrote the eighteenth amendment into the con stitution
 To stay?
 Without question. And not only to stay, but to stay as live, vital izing force in American life. For tremendous, are being vsioned in their outlines, rot only in America, but throughout the world. As the months and lhe years roll on. the character and the ma gnitude of these benefits will become steadily more clearly delineatsd. and in proportion ate degree the task of the ob- structionist, the lawbreaker and the law evader will be the more difficult C'ilA bSt'b OI Itti issues, through the false preaching of the self-seeke CT, will disappear Us the facts become more and nore self-evdent.
 To any one who will give a mo- ments thought to the illumina ting facts and figures as we know them even now, the distance this country has already come is astounding. Results Thus Far.
 It is my purpose here to outline the results that have been obtained in prohibition cnt torcement. to exam inc the changes that have been wrought in our economic and social life, and to analyze, so far as is possible. what pat the enactment and enforcement of the eighteenth amendment nave played in brin ging these changes, changes which have came so gradually and so naturally that they nave been but half appre

ciated even by those who have been most directly affected
 Not long ago an observer came to America from Europe to see for himself the effects of prohibition. He had been informed through anti-pro- hibition propaganda publishe ed eXten- sively in European journals that prohibition in the United States was joke.
 He went out one evening with pad and pencil and stood on a busy corner in New York city, so that he might count the drunken men who passed. Though he waited for hours, none passed. Thinking that he might have selected an unfavorable location, he went the following night to another corner, far distant from the first. Again he failed to see one drunken man in all the crowds.
 Then he went, to Philadelphia There, as in New York, he failed to see even one drunken man on the streets. He was astounded. Before he returned home he came to my Of- flee to tell me that we in America, to whom the change had come so grad uaally as to be almost imperceptible, apparently had only the faintest idea of the evolution that had been wrought. His observations were sim liar to those of other foreign ob- servers from Australia and else- where.
 Here in the United States We are so close to our problem that we may fail to get the right perspective as we view it. A noble mountain, Viewed from it's base. is but tower ing mass of earth and rock. To see it's true outlines in all their grandeur we must withdraw from close prox- unity and view it from afar.
 It has sometimes seemed to me that some of our most enthusiastic pro- ponents of prohibition enforcement have erred in attributing solely to prohibition, phenomena in our social and economic life in which other in- fluences played some part at least; and 1t Is my purpose, so far as l can, to avoid this error. For the benefits that have accrued directly from our reduced consumption of alcohol are in themselves sufficient to satisfy any reasonable mind unswayed by selfish desire or interest that this greatest adveneteure of ours Is carry ing us into a new era of national happiness national health, and ma tlonal aspiration, achievement and prosperity.

 After Drowning Of Negro

DEMOPOLlS, Ala, August b. tSpecial)-T. F. Hicks, of Selma. about 30 years old, Saturday after noon was bound over in city court O. Demopolis, charged with murder. to await action of the grand jury. Acco1 ding to the evidence, Hicks and a friend riday afternoon, went down to the river and just before crossing the ferry. remarked to- a negro boy, Robert Henley, that he was going to pitch him in the river and drown him. Taking his hat and other wear ing apparel from the boy, 1t Is saIo, he threw the negro in the river. An attempt was made to save the boy, but without avail It is said that after Hicks realized the seriousness Of his act he offered $10 to anyone ' ho would save the boy.
