Prohibition and Politics
IN Y Trihnnpl


The record Of Governor Pinchot in
Pennsylvania is too clean-cut to per-
NIT any one to question his sincerity
on the prohibition issue. He has de-
voted a ma jor part of his energy and
ability to the execution of the en-
/ forcement law. He has every right
to speak as an apostle of the dry
cause.
But speaking as and when he did,
he faces an unfortunate interpreta :
ton of his words. He demanded that
the President take enforcement OF
the Eolstead act out of politics. The
practical effect of his speech has
been to put enforcement into politics
for the first time. Governor Pinchot
doubtless felt like Sir Galahad bran
dishing his white sword. TO the
hard headed public, his gesture
seems far more like the shying of
another hat into the political ring.
This Interpretation flows partly
from the time of the attack. Next
Saturday the governors of the states
will assemble in Washington to dis
cuss prohibition. President Coolidge
summoned this conference and will
address it. 1t will seem odd to many
that the Republican governor OF
Pennsylvania could not wait until
the new president of the United
States, also a Republican. had an
nounced his policy upon this import
ant issue.
The manner of attack is not less
personal and pointed. 1t will seem
to most impartial observers that
Governor Pinchot is something less
than patient toward President Cool
idge, who has been in office for two
months and half. and rather over
generous toward the achievements
of his own administration, now in its
tenth month. He underestimate the
difficulties which Federal enforce
ment faces, and overestimates the
present aridity of the state of Penn
sylvania.
Upon the main question there can
scarcely be any great difference of

BELFAST
Tells Experiences In Japanese
Earthquake

The Belfast Business and Profess
sional WOmen's clubroom was filled
on Tuesday night when Mrs. Rich
ard e. Shaw. formerly Miss Marion
Hazeltine, for several years resi-
dent of Japan, talked informally on
that country. and showed many
curios and bits of wearing apparel
brought home with her.
Mrs. Shaw talked first about the
japanese houses and homes. telling
of the artistic interiors. with their
apparent lack of furniture, but al
ways interesting. She told of the
various styles of dress, for strange
as it may seem to an American, the
style of kimonos change as much
as our own clothing does.
The Japanese houses are not pro-
perly heated in winter. and many OF
the poorer classes go every night
to the public baths, steep themselves
in the hot water, bundle themselves
in their padded kimonos and hurry
home to bed before they cool off.
In Toxic it is hard for an Ameri-
can or Englishman to express him.

ers losing their children and in sew
eral cases. little ones were saved but
bereft of both father and mother. In
closing her talk. Mrs. Shaw read a
letter from Mrs. Fennimore B. Lynch
of Toxic, daughter of Frederick r.
Ryder of Belfast. who narrowly es-
capped death, and who was reported
dead and missing. In this letter Mrs.
Lynch tells of her narrowing expert
ences.
She was at Kamahura. a seashore
resort about SO miles from Toxic,
where her husband was manager of
the International Corporation Bank.
She had left her cottage and went
to that of a friend on a hill over
looking the sea when the shock
came. Mrs. Lynch was thrown
through a door and down a flight of
stone steps, the door and other de-
bris falling upon her. Half buried.
she was able to call for help, but in
the mad rush, people did not hear
her. She heard some one cry "A
tidal wave" The wave was within
so feet of her, when she was at last
heard and the debris lifted from her.
Mr.. Lynch, frantic with anxiety.
walked SO miles to her. in the night
in ten hours through the devastated
area. After a few days. which
seemed months,a United States ship
came into the harbor to assist in the
care of the injured, and the sailors
carried Mrs Lynch on a stretcher to
the boats and on to the ship. Mrs.
Lynch is now in Albany at the home
Of her sister, where her father and
Mrs. Ryder met her.

deeply indebted to Mrs. Shaw for her

SOMETHING DOING

The old world, taken by and large,
is busy place. In the far distant
Philippines the native leaders, who
attempted under Governor General
/ Harrison to have governor general
! responsive to their dictates rather
than to Washington, D. c.. are full
minating against Governor General
/ Wood who takes the opposite view,
that he is responsible to Washing
ton. They threaten to fight, but?
Already they are planning to inter-
fere as far as possible in American
politics to get another Harrison.
Admirers of Mussolini present him
with the castle which overlooks the
humble home in which he was born.
Can political lions once habituated
to castles think again in the terms of
the humble abode?
Little Belgium with unemployment
| increasing is becoming worried as
the women of Berlin loot the stores
for food and wonders if she must not
suffer If the people of Germany see
red and starve. The policy of Pom
care to let the Germans stew in their
hate brew until they may know they
are beaten is worrying little Belgium
yet more. Will she stand by France
/ to the end?
Every Frenchman, working. saving
and planning, has little compassion
for the Germans believing, as he I'M
doubtedly does, that they too might
pay their bills if they would but
work, as he does. But the French
man through severe experience has
learned how to he governed.
Despotism in Russia, trying firmly
to seat itself in the places which
communism cleared for it, before it
was abandoned, is trying to resume
commercial relations with France
and some of tho other European
countries by promising to pay Rus
sias debts. The one consistent pol-
icy of Russia's present rulers il MAX
ing promises.
In merrie England there Is much of
unemployment and growing sense
of the fact that the justice and logic
which were back of the French oc-
cupation of the Ruhr are being sus-
tanned by events. Then too, tn re
is conference in England's capital
of representatives of British domin-
ions determined to have say in
British councils.
The difficulties of the situation are
not lost on Lloyd George, who so
long was at the head of England's
affairs and who presumably is not
averse to extending his influence
Speaking in Minneapolis, with Mag
nus Johnson on his right hand and
drinking in every word. under the
spell Of the wonderful Welshman. he
utters the Macedonian cry: Come
and help US" And though he said:
Come a your own time and in
your own way, but help us to make
peace" one is reminded of Lord Bal
tours plea in time of war when the
allies were with their backs at the
wall. After pause at the end of
his plea. he added in a tone there
was no mistaking, the request to
hurry up. SO Lloyd George appeals
to the people of the middle West,
who once had little .tomach for the

Symptoms are Dizzy Spells, shortness

A very Successful remedy for high

cists as NORMA. and during the past
year the demand for it has increased
tremendously.
A Buffalo physician devoted his tai
ents to close study of this altogotber
too common condition and the result
is a prescription now sold under the
name of NORMA that is for high blood
pressure only.
when high blood pressure is lowered
IT is genera lly conceded by competent
authorities that ailments CaGsed by il.
such as nervousness pains in the head

A prfzefight was announced for
October 4th to be held at Sportland
Heights Arena, near Washington, D.

Herald, italian Jack RcnZo is pre-
pairing for his tilt with rugged Jack
Perry, champion OF the Navy. Perry
is from the Battleship North Dakota.

the Marine Corps champion"
The Washington Herald also says
again:
There should be plenty of zip to

nola, the Atlantic fleets smashing

man, the local favorite. Tex Stovall,
the husky Marine, and Lefty Hurley
of Anacostia are on the card for a

Are the Army the Navy and Ma

of prizefight promoters?
Please note that these contests
were not sporting propositions for
