With the picturesque emphasis that
made him famous long before base

Kenesaw Mountain Landis today gave
the Senate Daugherty committee his
opinion of prohibition enforcement
and other administrative questions as
they have been dealt with in recent
years by the federal government,
At dinner parties in Chicago, he
said, "pre-war stuff" still appeared to
be holding out remarkably well, and
he confessed that he himself had not
been able to resist the enticing invi-

Can't Understand Pardon.
Called to testify about the house

treasurer of the Republican national
committee and other Republican
leaders in Chicago were to be criti-
cized, and he told the committee in
a way no one could misunderstand
that he believed politics should have
no more to do with executive Glenn
ency than with decisions handed
down from the bench.
Then. under the urge of a sharp
cross-examination, ne got up from
the witness stand and strode up and
down the room and, between puffs on
a long, black stogie, summed up and
reiterated all of his statements about
the Grossman case and the conduct
of the Department of Justice in gen.

with him and see a ball game.
Cheeseman's conviction, Judge Landis
said, resulted from the testimony of
six witnesses who said he sold whis-

pot Dome scandal and its effect upon
politics, Mr.. Davidson said: Tea
pot Dome was the natural outcome OF
public, governmental office OF eco
nOmic importance being entrusted to
mucky politicians, perpetual office
holders and political cliques. Their
inability and incOmpetency to safe
guard the governments welfare has
been so strikingly manifested in the
past that it is astonishing. the peO-
pie do not rise up en- masse and sweep
every professional politician out of
office. Their incOmpetency and fire.
quently their corruption has manifest
ed itself in the enormous tax toll with
which We are now burdened. 1t is
high time that business men of capac-
measured by their Integrity and indi-
vidual accomplishments In life, be
placed at the I.-lm of government, both
