Dry Law Repeal in New York Signed
 by Governor Smith

Albany Gov. Smith Friday evening signed the legislature 8 bil1 wiping the Mnllen-Gage state. prohibition enforce ment act off the statute books.
 And he went further. Acceding to the urging of'his friends that he strike a note in the campaign for the return of light wines ande beer, he denounced the one-half of ore ger cent alcoholic beverage content provided in the Vol stead act as the work of tanatical drys, " calling on Congress to modify it to a "commone sense" maximum, and then leave each state free to decide upon figure, below that maximum if it so desired.
 "I yield to.no man in my reverence and respect for the constitution of the U nited States, and l advocate nothing which will infringe upon the provisions of the eighteenth amendment," the governor said. 'ft is nevertheless a fact that the definition of an intoxicat ing beverage contained in the Volstead act is. not an honest or common-sense one.
 "It is impossible to divorce from the public mind the impression that the definition of an intoxicating beverage as containing not more than one-half of one per cent-of alcohol was written by the fanatieal drys in defiance of the general experience of mankind and of actual facts.
 lift seems to me that common sense, backed up by good medical opinion, can find more scientific definition of what constitutes an alcoholic beverage.
 "Such d definition should be adopted by Congress as a proper and reasonable amendment of the Volstead act and a maximum alcoholic content should be prescribed by Congress which would limit all states to the traffic in liquors which are in fact misunderstanding within the meaning of the eighteenth amendment.
 "Subiect to that limitation, each state should thereafter De lel6 liee Io determine for itself what should consti- tute an intoxicating beverage. States which then wished to limit trafflc to beverages containing not more than .one-haf of one per cent of alcohol would be free to do so and those which desired to extend the traffic to the maximum limitation allowed by federal statute would be equally free to do so"
 The governor emphasized, however, that the mere repeal of the Mullen Gage act, accomplished by his sigma sure, did not alter-the effectiveness Of the Volstead act in it's present form as long as It stands unmodifed. and served

Paeans of Praise for Smith.

| the Volstead act in it's strictest letter.
 Paeans of Praise for Smith. New York.-Those who are wet or moist or in any degree yearning for 8 return of the good old days when one could get non-poisonous drink with Q kick in it are delirious with joy over the action of Governor Al Smith and the hope he inspires of eventual modili- cation of the Volstead act. Paeaus of praise to Smith are being sung from the east side sidewalks of New York" to Riverside drive.
 Nothing is too good for Al now, you can take 1t from the vets. He can have anything he wants if the vets can get it for him. He becomes at once 8 highly favored candidate in moist places for the presidency, not only be- cause in signing the Cuvillier reDealer he has done what the vets wanted and. what members of the legislature repre- senting 70 per cent of the people want ed, but because he has championed 0 concrete program for tempering the rigors of the Volstead act.
 With stroke of his pen. Governor Smith has placed himself in the .ore- front of the field of candidates fol. the democratic nomination for president. There is now no doubt that he.will go to the national convention of his party as the choice not only of New York but tion of the Volstead act, and the second chQice of still other states. He will be- a formidable candidate for the nomina- tion and the national leader of the forces which will put up the most-stub- born fight for beer and light wine plank in the democratic platform that ever has been witnessed in 8 national convention. The fight is now on, and within the next year good deal of fur is going to fly.
 The drys are consumed with wrath at the repeal of the state enforcement law, and are vowing vengeance upon Governor Smith and every state sen ator. and assemblyman who voted for the Culliver bill.
 Many are the predictions heard that the restoration of light wines and qbeer will be the paramount issue in the presidential election next year. ,wita President Harding the champion of tha drys, and the democratic candidate, whether it be Al Smith or another, marshalling the millions demanding an end of bone dry prohibition.
 The action of New York in 'wiping out the state prohibition enforcement act is expected by the vets to set an example for other states which desire to register their protest against the Volstead law and crystalize the senti- ment in favor of it's modification.

1t Doesn t Pay

The country's full of bandits bold
who whiz around in motor cars. ard
rob the bankers of their gold, in
minted form, in bricks and bars. To
superficial eyes their stunt seems
quite romantic, blithe and gay; but,
though they cop all kinds of blunt,
it doesn't pay, it doesn't pay. A
little while the bandits thrive, and
seem to laugh at all our law; in
vain the sweating peelers strive to
land them in the prisons nav. But
Justice doesn't sleep or snooze, she
still keeps jogging on her way, clad
in her non-skid overshoes, and
things dishonest do not pay. The
outlaw, tired of robbing banks, lies
down to have some sweet repose !;
and while he sleeps the Jail doors
clank, that will some day his form
inclose. For Justice wakes while
sinners sleep, it is not. hers to hit
the hay; her thoughts are on the
donjon keep, she knows full well
crime does not pay. Nine bandits
robbed two loaded trucks the pa
pers say, in terms refined; they COL
Jared twenty thousand bucks. and
skipped and left no trace behind"
The daring bandits make their
splash and roll in riches for a, day,
but there's a jinx on stolen cash,
and in the end crime doesn't pay.
The bandits now are wearing bells,
and they have precious stones to
pawn, but they'll wind up in prison
cells and all the glamour will be gone.
To spend long dragging years in
jail, to face future bleak and gray
it is too much to pay for kale !;
crime doesn't pay, it doesn't pay.

In directing the Tariff Commission

he might legally proclaim a higher
rate.
