ECONOMIC PRESSURE
HELPED PROHIBITION,
ASSERTS DR.. STELZLE

Economic pressure. as well as moral
sentiment brought about national
prohibition in the United States, DR..
before them some Of the Information
obtained by the fact finding commits
sion of the conference.
Prohibition became a fact not be-
cause of mere sentiment, but because
the country faced certain economic
conditions which made it imperative. -
said DR.. Stelzle. "The two billion
for liquor before the eighteenth
amendment was adopted was three
times as much as we spent at that
time to maintain all of our public
schools, as much as we spent to
operate all of our railroads, almost
twice the value Of all church prop
erty in the United States, twice the
amount which we spent before the
war for the support Of our federal
government, as much as we spent
for bread and clothing, and 1t equaled
the wages earned by all the trade
unionists Of this country.
Waste Thought DeplorabIe.
"The people OF America thought
that this waste OF two billion dollars
was deplorable, not merely because
no good came from the expenditure
OF this money, as may have been
true OF other large expenditures, but
because its expenditure was in the
main positively harmful.

'DRYS'' TO ENFORCE
DRY LAWS SOUGHT
Cramton Would Take Pro-
hibition Forces Out of
Politics.
BIZ FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Prohibitlonist forces in the nation
are determined to break up what they
term the notorious alliance between
politics and law enforcement Repre-
sentative Louis c. Cramton, repub-
lican, Of Michigan, who is to succeed
Andrew J. Volstead as leader of the
dry element in Congress-, has formu-
lated its new program. II calls pri-
marily for measures to compel the
politicians, principally members of
Congress, to keep their hands off the
enforcement system and allow it to
be administered without regard to po-
Itical considerations. The friends of

chased annually about $1,000 .Oo0

There Is no doubt that the great
mass of workingmen in America
stand for prohibition, but it is i'm
possible for them TO express this
conviction through the labor union.
1t IS a notable fact that even before
prohibition was adopted intoxicating
liquors were not permitted in the
labor temples owned and conducted
by the trade unionists in various
cities in this country"
Evening star., 1923-10-13

We have had a long war to gain
what we now have. We have not the
slightest intention of yielding now
the victory we have won in the long
struggle.
Let us here resolve that there shall
be no compromise with lawlessness
and no notification OF law anywhere
within our borders.
1--WE have heard a good deal about
making the world safe for democracy
But a lawless democracy is not safe
for the world. Our task is the crea-
tive task of making a democracy that

and their efforts to secure friendly"
enforcement officials are vigorous and
unceasing. If Commissioner Haynes
could be put on the stand and cross
examined on the subject, he probably
would admit that politicians cause
the enforcement system more embar-
rassment than bootleggers.
Representative Cramton and those
who share his views believe the best
prospect of reform lies in converting
the prohibition enforcement system
into a separate, self-governing tnsti-
tuition. Tho federal prohibition com
missioner Is now only the chief of a
subdivision of the Treasury. Three
officials are superior to him-the Sec

retary of the Treasury, the assistant
secretary in charge of internal rev.
enue affairs and the commissioner of
internal revenue. He has RESPONSE
bility, but no real authority. He is
almost helpless against the poll
ttcians. Such successes as his depart
ment achieves have been in spite of,
not because of, hundreds of highly
placed men in public life who, on ac-
count of their wet inclinations, leave
no stone unturned to hamper the en-
forcement of the law.

Program of Drys.
Representative Cramton announces
that the -four cardinal principles"
prohibitionists now seek TO estab-
lish are:
gress from interfering with the ap-
pointment or dismissal Of prohibition
agents.
2. Elimination of politics from law
enforcement In general and conver-
sion of the prohibition unit into sep
arate entity.
3. Extension of the three-mile lin
it to twelve miles. --..-. --.,.-...
4. Compulsion of American diplo-
matte officers abroad to obey the pro-
hibition laws at embassies and lega-
tions.
Representative Cramton's program
springs from knowledge available to
anybody who makes even cursory
investigation of prohibition condi-
tions almost anywhere in the country.
is at work. Appointments to the
federal prohibition service, from state
directorships to the least paid jobs
as enforcement agents, now rank
among the most coveted patronage
plums. They are distributed. with
few exceptions. to deserving party
workers.
The local committee chairman
recommends a man to the state chair
man. or TO the district representative
In Congress. or sometimes to the
United States senator, and appoint
ment ensues. Commissioner Haynes
seldom has anything to say about the
character of the men who are to CO.
operate with him In prohibition en-
forcement. Occasionally he is able
to block the appointment of a par
1cularly undesirable man. He has
recently succeeded in keeping such q
person from becoming federal direc-
tor OF large midwestern state. But,
ordinarily. the enforcement service is
filled with appointees whose chief
merit is political pull That is the
system Representative Cramton's pro-
gram aspires to smash.
Scandals Are Rife,
Both republicans and democrats
have allowed politics to influence pro-
hibition enforcement. Scandals in

possible, to defeat enforcement. For
that purpose, they seek to dictate the

Did some childish memory of his
mother lead l6-year-old Burton S.
Tucker Of South Essex, Mass, to fall
in love with and marry a woman ap-
preaching so?
Did the woman, who was formerly
Mrs. Susan o. Simpson of West

marry young Tucker to satisfy a
thwarted maternal instinct?

Cotton Industry GROWING In China

In the beginning the Chinese were
too much devoted to the lovely
Yuenfi. goddess of mulberry leaves
and silkworms. to look with favor
upon a cult of "mienhua," the cotton
flower. Cotton did not thrive until
it too acquired a patron. the Lady
Huang of the Yuen Dynasty, who
distributed seeds from Turkestan
through the region round about
Nankh1. In this city was made the
famous yellow 'nankeen," from
which were cut the trousers of MANY
characters in English fiction. AS
nankeen was initiated in foreign
lands. 1t was exported in smaller
quantities, and the Chinese even be-
gan to import cotton cloth.
In recent. times, however. the
native cotton industry has develop
ed rapidly. Much Of the coarse
Inferred, kinky cotton from the farms
IS sent to Shanghai, Wusieh or
Iientsin, to mills equipped with Eng
iish or American machinery, But
the looms in most Chinese mills are
constructed on the same principle as
those used in household weaving by
simple folk such as the old Chihii
peasants. They are adept at un-
winding the twisted thread from q
bobbin into a skein, to be dyed blue
and woven into narrow cloth.-Asia
