LAWMAKERS BREAK THE Law

THE Scarchllght". one OF the few
American magazines that tell the
truth. or that know enough Of the
truth to make 1t worth telling. has an
article which includes the following
statements:
There is no unit of American iife
today where studied disregard Of the
Nolstcad Act IL more In evidence than
among the lawmakers on Capitol Hin
unless 1t he among the administrative
officers charged with the solemn duty
Of enforcing the laws. 1t is matter
of common knowledge that there are
many places In the Capitol building
today where whisky. wines and even
beer can he obtained in violation OF
the law. Senators, Congressman and
their clerks are serving intoxlcants
to callers - Senators and Con.
crcssmcn who voted for the Volstead
Act are the worst offenders -
In the closing hours OF the Senate At
the recent session. there were eviden-
ccs of drink on every hand -. A
group of ncwspnpermcn witnessed an
orgy through n window Of a commit
tee room that seemed Incredible to the
average American citizen ----."
And yet. because we are so jealous
Of the good name Of what remains of
the remnants Of our old-time peoples
government We count 1t duty to
withhold the fncts. Suppose the duty
to speak becomes clear! Could those
responsible to the people survive for
one moment the avalanche Of disEust
and outraged confidence that would
follow?
The United States has gone dry.
1t is time for Washington. d. c., to
follow suit.

governor while at the capital and re-
suits already are in sight.
Letters went out to the governors
Of 80 states consuming anthracite

that "a fair price to consumers is Just
as essential" as the settlement of the

governors whose states receive at
least thousand tons OF anthracite
from Pennsylvania annually were
asked to begin an investigation into
ways and means to prevent saddling

arm Of the state be exerted to revise
