How the Wind Blows
on Prohibition.

Edward F. Dunno, former Illinois
governor and eX-mayor of Chicago is
back from Europe saying he is con-
WINGED that the American system of
national prohibition is a dismal fail
ure and that he will work legally for
state autonomy in handling liquor
questions Mr. Dunno is personally
dry.
Among other things noted by him is
one of the same things the Herald has
commented on. Mr.. Dunno says:
"I saw less intoxication and public
disturbance arising from it in Europe
than we experience every day here in
Chicago In fact I saw no intoXication
at all among the wine drinking peo-
pies of the nations I visited"
The Rev. George H. Thomas, pastor
of st. Paul's Episcopal church, Ken
wood, is also Just home from an ex-
tended tour through Europe. Rev.
Thomass comments are of equal in
terest. He says:
Temperance prevails in Europe al
though prohibition is not in force.
I am and always have been strong
supporter of prohibition, however.
Most Americans who go to Europe are
amazed at the small amount of drunk
enness. Seldom does one see an in
toxicated person on the streets of
French of English cities.
Law enforcement in Europe is a
fact. There is little of the scandal and
crime there which is so common in
American cities.
America might we'll pattern it's
courts after European courts. Judges
are appointed for life and there is no
politics and corruption mixed up with
the legal system. The courts are char
acterized by stability and authority"
Mr.. Thomas commented upon the
police system of Europe, saying the
police are efficient and that there is
no political corruption in the law en-
forcing bodies.
On the other hand, Lloyd George,
former English premier, says England
spends a billion and half dollars a
year for liquor with million and a
half people ION the DOLE" or govern
ment charity He calls the American
prohibition experiment remarkable.
"It is no use indulging in slap dash
condemnation of America" he went
on after all, 100000 persons in
America not only accepted prohibition,
but the fact is no political party in
the United States dares propose abol-
ition of prohibition laws. 1t is sug-
gested that prohibition in America is
the craze of cranks, but when I went
to America I found there was not a
vestige of truth in that view. I never
met man who would vote to re-es-
tablish the saloon. So far as public
opinion in America is concerned, the
beer house is a thing of the past 1t
is an experiment we ought to investi-
gate. The Americans are the most
prosperous people under the sun, not
because they have gold, but because
they haven't drink"
1t is always fair to get both sides.
Therefore we present opposing views
Some like Lloyd George that prohibit
ton is good thing for this country
while others will take the view of
Gov. Dunno, Rev. Thomas and the
Herald and hold for state autonomy
in dealing with the liquor question. 1t
remains live issue. Our views on it
will appear from time to time.

GRAPE HARVEST

In the ice-green forest,
Drenched in Autumnal rain,
A yellow leaf, a brown leaf, is falling
again.
On a still river,
Under a white sky,
Yellow leaves are floating where yell
low lilies die.
Tomorrow the birds will go south
And the woods will be still at dawn.
After the hot sweet grapes ripen,
Summer is gone.

SPEEDS UP ROTATION SHIP

MUEHLHEIM-An Improvement on
Flettners famous rotation ship has
been constructed by the engineer,
Franz Struzina. His vessel is equipped
with two stationary towers. By means
of large air tunnels that can be reg
ulated to point in any desired direc-
ton, the vessel is enabled to utilize
the wind coming from any point of
the compass, whereby its speed is ma
terially enhanced. At the trial trip the
vessel succeeded in attaining far
greater speed than the Flettner ship.
