VETS PREPARE FOR ELECTION
Hinckley Says All Effort is Useless
Which Does Not Increase Wet
Vote in Congress

G. c. Hinckley, secretary of the Asso-
ment oTe OF the numerous wet organiza-
tions fighting for the notification of the
Eighteenth Amendment, has announced
that his organization will begin an imme-
date campaiga in 200 congressional dis
tricts TO prepare for the 1926 off year"
election
The campaign includes the formation
of committees OF business and profes-
sional men. According to Mr.. Hinckley,
25 volunteer citizens committees have al
ready taken up the work in New York
state. Another committee is functioning
i'll Washington and has undertaken the
responsibility of working in the two
Maryland districts represented in the
lower house OF Congress by dry repre-
sentatives. A memorandum sent to
state branches and active members reads:
Any work on the part OF the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment which does not have for
its object increasing OF the libsral
vote in Congress is largely waste
of time and money-bccausc Con-
gress alone has power to legislate SO
as to bring relief from the present
laws and the bad conditions that
have resulted from them. We have
therefore planned a concerted nation
wide drive to build up organizations
within the next few months in as
many congressional districts as pos
sible where there is considerable wet
sentiment and which are now repre-
scented by Congressman who vote
dry.

THE CHEMIST AND PROHIBITION
By WAYNE B. Wheeler, LID.

By Wayne B. Wheeler, LID.
Industries that use industrial or de-
natured alcohol in their processes may
have felt themselves hampered in obtain
ing it on account of the regulations made
necessary by the 1awbreakers who would
like to get and use it for beverage pur-
poses. The honest industrial chemist
has no more reason to feel himself stig-
matized or hampered by these regulations
than has the physician who wishes to
prescribe alcohol to some of his patients
by the necessity of obtaining permit.
Even if some inconvenience is exper-
fenced, the immense benefits which prohi-
bition has brought to the industries us
ing alcohol are here shown to be far more
than merely compensatory:
All the products of the alcohol-using
industries would be of little value with
out consumers. When prohibition closed

community that wants 100 or so per cent
enforcement, or no enforcement, gets
what it wants. Aha, concludes, Mr..
Hartt. Then we have with us mot pro-
hibition, but local option-that is local
option, not on the liquor question, as
we had before the passage of the Vol
stead act, but rather on the observance
of law"
The series is not finished yet, and we
may find that after all Mr.. Hartt has the
German type of mind which looks at a
subject from all sides-under it, over it,
all around it and through it, with a COM
prehensivc analysis and supporting fig
ures. True, prohibition is very large
subject to be so thoroughly handled, but
let us hope Mr.. Hartt will be equal to it.

THE WADSWORTH AMENDMENT
Editorial


Those who have been mislcd by wet
propaganda into thinking that amending
the Constitution is an easy task and for
this reason to look with favor on Sena-
tor Wadsworth's proposal to make it
harder, should read the comment and
analysis in this paper for thinking wo-
men. The following sentences show the
Citizens viewpoint:
The most audacious and dangerous pro-
posal that has ever been made for amend
is that sponsored by Senator Wadsworth,
which is now getting suspiciously strong
backing in Congress and is scheduled for
action during these last hurried weeks of
the short session.
The proposal is dangerous because it
would make it practically impossible to
amend the Constitution no matter what
the need; it is audacious because it pre-
tends to appeal to an ideal and uses it in
fraudulent way. E. In reality no pro-
vision is made for submitting an amend
nent to the voters and the amendment is
intended to make SO difficult as to be
practically impossible any change in the
Constitution of the United States. This
has been virtually admitted by Senator
Wadsworth.
1t is evident that the real question at
stake is: do we want to bar the way to
any change whatever in our federal Con-
stitution? Are we so sure that we know
what changes the years will bring forth?
These are serious questions and the men
ace of the Wadsworth amendment is real.

PROHIBITION AS IT IS

something about prohibition. What that
something for which lie went in quest is,
! or was, is not yet clear. Thus far he ap-
bootleggers and gossip about ways of
evading the law and the difficulties some
officials have in enforcing the law, than
of any definite information about the eff
fects of prohibition on the health, pros
perity and happiness of the people, which
is, of course the main thing.
He retails the insinuations which the
same wet official cast upon young doctors
they are in favor of prohibition because
it insures them a $1,000 a year income
writing prescriptions for liquor. In St.
Louis they hang around pool rooms look
ing for customers.
Mr.. Hartt himself was not very She
cessful in finding drunken men in ST.
Louis, had to hunt long time to find
one. But man in hotel said to him,
"If you had been with me last night you
would have seen % men drunk right in
this very house"
He finds one "bonc dry" town in Indi-
ana but gives the credit to the Klan.
>. He finds in Louisville judge who
ships bootleggers to Atlanta, so that only
secret trade in mountain dew" and an
occasional soft drink parlor are left of
the former liquor traffic of that city. He
reflects that "In its submission to Vol
steadism it (the city, appears to have
! required vigorous persuasion"
From a Knoxville judge he learns that
number of cases brought into court for
auto accidents under intoxicaton are
members of the best families in the city.
In Charlotte, North Carolina he is told
that the list of customers found on cap
tured boot1egger reads like a social reg
lister.
He includes among the items of his in
vestigations in North Carolina a Brisbane
syndicated editorial telling how many
lives have been lost in enforcing prohibi-
ton, how much money it costs, and sug
costing that POSSIBLY light beer, which
might provide successful competition with
bootleg whisky, and would certainly yield
the government revenue of five hundred
millions year, may eventually be tried"
In Lynchburg a newspaperman tells
him that at party the first thing a girl
asks is, What have you got on your
hip?"
He is also told in Virginia that whereas
white men used to get rich selling whisky
to negroes, now negroes are getting rich
selling whisky to white men.
Someone tells him that prohibition
leaders attribute the decrease in industrial
accidents entirely to prohibition" (Which
of course they do not) and goes on to
enumerate safety devices in which there
has been great advance during the last
five years." Some of US can remember
farther back than that, when the slogan
Safety first" greeted us at every step,
and industrial safety devices crowded the
exhibits of the annual meetings of the
Safety Council. We also remember
those round table resolutions passed by
that body in 1914, and also the state
ments to the effect that no matter how
many safety devices were provided, when
a man had drink on board he was likely

coast championship for women,
which will start here March II. 1t
Is expected that most of the stars
now competing at st. Augustine for
the East coast title will be on hand
for the championship here.
Sponsors of the west coast tour
nament are confident that the two
women golfers in the
Glenna Collett and
Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd-will
be among the field that will tee up
here next Tuesday. These stars
haYe been wintering at Belleair,
just a few miles away, and could
motor over in a very short time.
Miss Collett is a former national
title-holder and only recently won
the Florida championship at Palm
Beach, defeating Miss Edith Cum
mings in the final. Mrs. Hurd is
the present American champion and
only last week captured the annual
Belleair tournament after a week

Bx ROSS L. CONKLIN.


East Potomac Park, the private
golf course Of the Vox Populi, was
thrown open to its members
promptly at COS today. At that un-
earthly hour Messrs. C. r. Bragg
and E. L. Kilby, both giving their
address as Takoma Park, strode
UP to the tee and socked the first
ball into the provinces.
From that hour on there was a
steady stream Of golfers. Here and
there the drab outfits Of the men
were interspersed with the. cheerier
raiment of the fair sex. One Of the
latter was on her third round at
10 o'clock, and she was still going
strong.
s. G. Loeffler, manager of the
course, delivered the opinion that
his clients would find the courses in
the best shape possible. Improve
OF the holes, and the fairways are
fast.
Page Hufty, d. P. Swope, Arthur
Farrell, Jew Benny, A. J. Handley,
III. C. Brawner, and Nick Nicholson
were among the old-timers who
romped around the course. They
all praised the improvements that
have been made.
Unless the weather interferes, the
courses will be open from now until
January /.
A stiff breeze failed to chill the
golfers for the reason that a strong
sun was on hand. The course is
dry and fast. II will open TO-
morrow morning at 6 o'clock.

It's a Real Series.

"HOSE exhibition games be-
tween the Washington Griff-
Il men and the New York
Giants, judging from the first
two, promise plenty of action.
New York writer's claim the world
champions are riding the boys"
which is another way of saying
they are showing the same spirit
that swept them through the
world series last October.
"There was an apparent desire
on the part of the members of
both teams to rattle their oppo-
nents and much roughness was
developed" writes the veteran
Sam Crane in the New York Jour-
nal. Catcher Hartley was cut on
his chins by Goslin, of the Sen
ators, and Terry's face was Sc
verely bumped by a base runner
as Bill reached down for a low
thrown ball.
"Then, again, Frank Frisch was
in several mixups. In fact, the
scars of the victors are many, but
none serious. There will be lots
doing, too, in the remaining
games.
"The superiority of one team
over the other has not been proved
as yet by the Giants double ad-
vantage. The Senators fully lived
up to their reputation as a strong
well-balanced and hrainy outfit.
That they made four double plays
in the twelve-inning contest is evil
dence that their teamwork has
not fallen off in the least. The
series will make baseball history"

Turner is making no boastful

Turner and Mclaughlin are to

This means that the Barracks mid
