DISTRICT APPEAL Needed.
Commissioners Pleased by Liberal
ity of Senate Committee.

The Commissioners expressed graft
fication today over the liberal treat
ment accorded the District by the
Senate subcommittee that handled
the District appropriation bill for
next year. The committee reported
the bill out Saturday, carrying a total
of $2S,1o2,o19, or more than $3.o00,-
600 above the House bill.
They were pleased by the action
of the committee in not accounting
the Cramton amendment in the House
bill, which would substitute a lump
sum Of $8,000,o00 as the federal gov
ernment's share in lieu Of 40 per cent
of the total appropriation.
The Senate committee worded the
bill so that the 60-40 ratio could be
restored, or lump sum of $4,000, 900.
Not only did the committee heed
the appeal of the Commissioners and
citizens on the fiscal relations pro-
vision, but also increased a number

MURPHY DEAD, TAMMANY LIVES

The following is the comment by
Orville S. Poland, counsel for the Anti
Saloon League of New York, on the
death OF Charles F. Murphy, leader of
Tammany Hall, which occurred April 20.
Murphy is dead, but Tammany still
lives. A political genius has passed, but
the machine still functions.
I'm the many comments upon the life
of Charles F. Murphy it is always noted
that he started as the proprietor of sa-
loon. He continued as a saloon keeper
until he owned four saloons and then
naturally and logically lie assumed the
leadership OF Tammany and made all the
saloons work for him in return for the
work he did for the saloons.
The stunning effect of Murphy's death
has caused the hackers of Al Smith to
drop their guard. Everyone now admits
that Smith is Tammany's candidate and
that Murphy was his chief strength. The
Smith hackers are today looking confus-
eddy about for a man to take Murphys
place in putting Smith over at the Demo-
cratic National Convention. Whether
or not they find such a man the Ameri-
can public now has notice that under all
the DISCUSSES of executive and admins
trative ability, of humanitarian interest
and devotion to so-called social well
fare Al Smith has been, is and will be
Tammany's candidate, and Tammany
has been, is and will be the saloon in
politics."

CARNATIONS generally, w. c. T. U. and

The object of the conference is to stimu
late prohibition enforcement and devise
more effective means OF coping with vio-
lations of the dry law.
The conference has been called, accord
ing to an announcement issued by the
committee, in recognition of the ire
mendous propaganda being carried on to
nullify prohibition and discredit the law"
The governor of Oregon and the mayor
of Portland have pledged cooperation in
the work.

POLLING COLLEGE HEADS

The Committee of One Thous-
and formed at Washington last fall
to promote the enforcement of law
with special reference to the pro-
hibition law, is asking the Presi-
dents of 800 universities and col
leges of the country whether they
agree with Nicholas Murray Butler
i'll his contention that prohibition
has failed, and has resulted in wide
spread disregard for law.
1t will be interesting to get the
responses from these heads of ed
ucational institutions, and it is a
safe guess that few of them will
take the untenable and un-Ameri-
can position of the President of
Columbia University.

MAY ARREST WITHOUT
WARRANT SAYS u. S. COURT

States last week held that prohibition en-
forcement officers do not violate the Con-
stitution if they arrest persons for vio1at-
ing the law openly and on their property
Attorneys in behalf of the South Caro-
lima parties based their appeal on the
claim that the Fourth and Fifth Amend
ments to the Constitution had been vio-
lated by the prohibition enforcement
agents in arresting the defendant. The
supreme court sustained the government
III its contention.

He says further that the dry navy will
be augmented by 20 destroyers, mine
sweepers, 223 seventy-fve-foot cabin
boats capable of 90 knots an hour, and
1876 speed boats. He thinks that the rum
runners will be driven to the expediency
of resorting to the use of the submarine,
and adds, "but a machine gun bullet
speeds right we'll and submarines have
to come up some time"

the eitizenry, are sound. Instance the
State OF Ohio-a state in which no wet
ter sentiment could be found west of the
Alleghenies, six years ago-a state which
registered a wet majority of 81, 600 in
1914 but reversed it ~ dry majority of
10000 in 1922.
In those days even the students of the
Ohio colleges saw the enemy and rose to
meet it. Groups were organized to stump
the state in the interests of stainless
flag. And finally, through the process of
gradual education engaged in by all tenn
perance forces. the prohibition Snow
BALI was rolled up. Ard now that prohi-
bition has come, what is the result?
What Change
Everywehere | went in Ohio there was
a sentiment expressing a supreme graf
itude for this great piece of social legis-
1ation. | never saw one drunken stu
dent in the state. Whereas on one cam
pus | was told that before prohibition the
professors wives never dared to go out
on the street in that little college town
after dark-now the situation is entirely
different. In fact, there is such COM
placency due to their own self-righteous
condition that they refuse to be alarmed
at any alleged conditions. An extreme
case i'll point is a school in which condi-
tons were so perfect that upon an alarm
ing exposition of the situation i'll more I'M
tons as these: "Are things really as bad
as that?' us that situation general?" etc.
Even in school which had been noted
for being gloriously wet, especially dur
ing a social function, in fact so wet that
prohibition agents arrested six students,
there was a noticeable swing of attitude.
Whereas there had always been peculiar
aversion to even talking about the sub
jet because it was likely to hit some sore
spot, now they were willing to talk about
the subject in its new and larger aspect,
namely their duty to their country and
their responsibility as leaders of society.
Action by College Students
In many schools there were introduced
resolutions of which the following is typ
ical
Realizing the necessity of
stronger sentiment Lack of Our laws,
especially the 18th Amendment and
the Volstead Act, We, the students
of College desire
to make it known:
First, that we are in hearty ac-
cord with the present prohibition
law as it now stands.
Second, that we shall do all in
our power to support the law by first
observing it individually ourselves
and second, letting it be known that
we are opposed to its violation"

stoned but fruitless plea when he said
that the NolStead Act is undermining
and debauching the youth of the nation"
The inference naturally is that i'll order to
save the youth from a complete moral
and physical breakdown we must give
them buckets of beer To follow out his
suggestion we should turn our soda foun-
tains into perpetual vine spigots and our
college and college campuses into uproar-
Gus beer-gardens.
The tearful-eyed Sammy ought to
know what he is talking about when he
depicts the angushed cries of the laborer
for his evening stimulus not stimu-
iant-but he cannot speak for the youth
in general without taking into considera-
ton the vast college crowd which are be-
ing looked to as the hope of the world.

icges were as inebriate as he thinks the
youth in general are, they would not be

who actually drink-and no one doubts it

he might just as well content himself
with near-beer To those who still think
it is smart to be risque and who take as
their motto, Eat, drink and be merry
and when you die make good looking

So let it be known that the youth does
not want light wines and beer as far as
his own personal benefit is concerned.
Therefore, let all advocates cease using

think it is a disgrace to our collegiate
institutions for there ever to be tolerated
any violation of law of any kind. Yet the
lamcntable truth is that the college stu
