The high school students will
take part in the county debating
contest. The question for debate
is: Resolved: That, 1. The Con-
gress shall have power to limit,
regulate and prohibit the labor
of persons under eighteen years
of age. 2. The power of the sew
eral states is unimpaired by this
article, except that the opera

LABOR KNOWS IT'S FRIENDS
Duluth HeraId)

In a persuasive speech before
the American Federation of La
Dor at Atlantic City yesterday,
Mr.. Purcell, a Labor member of
the British parliament. said it
would be fine thing if American
labor would get in touch and keep
in touch with what its fellow
workers are doing in Russia.
William Green, president of
the American Federation in sue
cession 10 the late Samuel Comp
ers, left no chance for any mis-
understanding on that point.
Being as polite as he could to
the conventions guest from over
the sea, but pounding the table
with clenched fist TO emphasize
his very vigorous remarks. he
said that American labor would
never east its lot with those who
would ruin it if they could"
And it is to be noted that "the
convention hall rocked with APP
plause and cheers"
No two ideals could be farther
apart than those of American
union labor and those Of commun-
ism.
Union labor seeks to better the
lot of workers in a capitalistic
society.
Communism wants the lot of
workers in a capitalistic society
to get as bad as it can be; and if
it is made so hard that the work
ers revolt and destroy capitalism
and the society and governments
based on it, that is precisely what
communism would like most.
The ultimate relation of or
ganized labor and organized capt.
tai will be that of partnership
and cooperation in mutual re-
spect and for mutual benefit.
The relation of communism to
capital is that of would-be de-
stroyer to intended victim. II is
that now, and it always will be
that.
Communism has no more eff
fective enemy than successful or
ganized labor. Communism
knows that. And when COM
munism holds out an open hand
to organized labor, behind it's
back is a closed fist with knife
in it.
American labor is wise and ex-
perienced. II knows communism.
and il knows communism's agents
-borers from within whose mis-
sion is destruction by stealth.
American labor's reply to this
invitation of friend of Russian
communism should. therefore, be
no surprise to anybody.
And certainly it should be no
surprise to this Labor member of
the British parliament, for his
own party has very recently de-
clared its utter independence OF
and antagonism to communism.
And thereby it has made itself
twice the formidable opponent
it was before to the established
old parties Of Great Britain.

An exchange says: IF a man
does not think he is entitled to
receive more pay for his work
than he is getting he is not worth
what he is being paid" II is well
for anyone to have confidence in
himself and know that he is able
to do his work well but there is
such a thing as being contented
and satisfied and showing a few
specks Of modesty. II does a fell

PARIS, April 25.-The delightful

to its rooms in the little Rue eau

last few weeks during the exhibit

can artist, George Waller Parker.
who is well known to the French
In Paris.
On the opening day Monsieur
Frantz Charlet, the celebrated Bel

Mr.. Parker's would be one of the
most successful expositions Of the
season. Within an hour after the
opening two canvases were marked
Sold ''-"Perspective" and Les
Peupliers Jumeaux.''
Mr.. Parker comes from the small
town Of Gouverneur, up in New
York State, but has spent much IF
his time in the Adirondacks and in

Brown Graduate.
He was graduated from Brown
University and was well estab-

decided he wanted to study art. He
went to the country, accepting ten
dollars a week as a hotel clerk,

off hours 1t was not long before
his talent began to appear.
At the Lake Placid Club, in the
Adirondacks, he studied landscape
problems and later taught in the
Montemare School, taking the pupils
TO Florida for six months and
painting in the mountains the re-
mainder Of the year.
After attending the Art Students
League in New York, the artist
came to Julian's Academy, in Paris.

GOOD CITIZENS AND THE
VOLSTEAD ACT

Extract from article of DR.. John
A. Ryan, Catholic University,
Washington, D. C., in Catholic
World, April, 1929
Many good citizens believe that
the Volstead act has several fea-
lures which are at once ineffective
and tyrannical. All such persons
should strive to get the act
amended by due process of law.
No good citizen will stoop to ac-
complish by indirection that which
he has not the courage to do di-
rectly. Any good citizen who be-
lieves, or who would like to be-
lieve, that our prohibition legisla-
ton does not bind in conscience,
will compel himself to formulate
and set forth in logical fashion the
rational grounds of his belief. No
good citizen will magnify, or dis
tort, or play up the spectacular
violations of the law in such a way
as to suggest, without frankly as
serting, that it has no moral va
lidity."

Bill Providing for State Prohibition Commissioner Advanced
Reading Without Amendment, Following Fierce Battle
of the
NO ACTION TAKEN ON VARIOUS REPEAL MEASURES FO
LOWING DECISIVE DEFEAT OF WET AMENDMENTS
Speaker Scholes Votes in Support of Enforcing Eighteenth
Bitter Disappointment to Liquor Forces

Eighteenth Amendment was particularly
disappointing to the wet forces because
they had widely hailed his selection as
presiding officer in the House as a de-
feat for the enforcement laws.
Wet Bills Not Advanced
A number of wet repeal bills slated for
consideration were not acted upon and
it is doubtful at this time whether the
wet leaders will attempt to advance their
measures on the calendar. These wet
measures provide for the repeal of the
Illinois Prohibition Act and all other
state prohibition enforcement laws. Their
inability 10 command more votes ia their
fight against the Commissioner Bill, dem
onstrated quite conclusive1y that there
is little likelihood of the passage of mea-
sures repeating enforcement legislation
in this session.
Moist Members Bitter
In the course of the oebate on the
various amendments offered, speakers
opposed to prohibition were very bitter
in their attacks upon the Eighteenth
Amendment and laws for its enforce
nent. A great many of the vets who
did not speak, nevertheless made their
animosity toward prohibition apparent
by the way they snarled their No"
votes on roll call.
Vets Talk, Drys Win
AS usual during recent years, the vets
did the most talking, but the drys had
the greatest number of votes. The de-
bate on the dry side was confined almost
entirely to the explanation of the need
for and purposes of the Prohibition Com
missioner Bill, by Representative Tice. In
reply to Lee ONeil Brownies charge,
also made by other vets on the floor,
that the Commissioner law would in
crease taxes, Tice pointed out that in
every state now operating the Commits
sioner plan has taken in many times
more money in fines and penalties than
the cost of this state enforcement de-
partment.
Oppose Fair Chance for Law
Representative Lewis of Robinson, in
explaining his vote called attention to the
fact that the opponents of enforcement
legislation were men who do not want
prohibition enforced, who are uwilling to
give the state a fair opportunity to up
hold the Eighteenth Amendment

264, the Prohibition Commissioner Bill,
was advanced to third reading without
change in the text, following desperate
attempts of the vets on the floor of the
House to kill the measure with amend
ments.
The first test vote followed the motion
of Representative Weber of Chicago,
leader of the vets, to strike out the en-
acting clause of the bill. Homer Tice of
Greenview, Menard county, floor leader
of the drys, moved to lay Representa-
tive Weber's motion on the table. The
Speaker ordered a roll call, which re-
suited in 78 yeas and 81 nays, a decisive
margin in favor of the bill and against
Webcr's motion, which would have killed
the measure.
The next question before the house
was on the amendment previously moved
by Representative O'Grady to change
the appointive power to the Governor
from the Attorney General as provided
by the bill. This amendment was also
defeated by rising vote of 63 to 40.
The vote came on the motion by Repre-
sentative Tce to lay O'Grady's amend
ment on the table.
Brownies Attack Fails
The next attack against the Commits
sioner Bill was led by Lee ONei1
Browne of LaSallle county, veteran
spokesman of the liquor interests on the
floor of the House Mr.. Browne offered
an amendment providing that if passed
by the House, the Prohibition Commits
sioner Bill should not become a law un-
less approved by majority in refer
endum vote to be held at the next gen
eral election. Representative Tice prompt
ly moved to lay Brownies referendum on
the table. Another roll call followed re-
sulting in the third defeat for the vets,
with a vote of 20 for and 68 against, lay
ing the amendment on the table The
bill was then advanced to third reading,
and will probably come to a final vote on
Wednesday, April p.
A disappointment to the vets almost
as severe as their roll call defeat was the
vote of Speaker Robert Schofes, who was
recorded in favor of enforcement on
every question. The vets had apparently
hoped that the Speaker would stand with
them in their attempt to defeat prohibi-
ton enforcement legislation. The Speak
er's stand for the enforcement of the
