More Truth Than Poetry

SEE NO EVIL

No more upon the silver screen
| A wicked man may stand
In any rowdy drinking scene,

STEWARDS WASHINGTON LETTER.
BY Charles p, Stewart


WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Headquar-
ters of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment is about the
most optimistic place in Washington
these days.
AS the anti-prohibition folk see it,
things have been breaking their way
so fast recently that they actually
believe = or profess to believe - they
stand some chance of having ma
jority in the next congress, which is
more than they dared hope for until
very recently. They did look for
gains, they say and for victory in a
number of state wide referenda, but
not for a congressional majority ear
lier than two years hence.
The senate's prohibition investiga-
tion and the prohibition angle of its
slush fund inquiry lad good founda-
tion for moist campaigning, prelimi-
nary to the fall elections, spokesmen
at wet headquarters observe, but they
never expected to see such a super
structure on top of it as later devel-
opments have built there.
Andrews May Quit
The sequence of events was rapid.
First, came the Dwyer rum ring
trial, with it's revelation of coast
guard graft, and of A. Bruce Bielaski
as a dry under-cover man for the JUS
tice department at salary of $4,000
a year, or $4,000 more than the next
best paid man in the entore depart
ment Iexcept Attorney General Sar-
gent, and within $1,SOO of what Sar-
get himself gets.
Then followed unofficial but almost
certainly authentic confirmation of
reports that General Lincoln c. An
dresw will resign as dry czar as soon
as he returns from England on the
ground that prohibition is unenforce-
able without stricter laws than now
exist, which seems an impossibility,
inasmuch as so dry congress as the
present one failed to enact them at
it's last session.
Fired Green
ing Secretary of the Treasury Win
ston, of the northern California and
Nevada prohibition administrator, Col
onel Ned Green, on charges of drink
ing seized liquor, giving it to friends
and entertaining them at wet parties.
When it is considered that Green
was Andrews right bower and sup
posedly was slated to succeed him, IL
becomes apparent that this was eX-
tremely serious.

is chosen to fit the special structure
of this form of writing, as in every
case also the development in tempo
and sequence and climax is also that
of the short story. And, aside from
this structural soundness. which i'll it
self is a decided merit of the work.
here is group Of situations in which
recognizable human beings take be
lieVable and consistent parts. Each Is
a highly dramatic matter--SOme To-
Gus of human interest upon which
every point in the development bears
directly and vitality. One story is the
trial of a criminal and its strange out
come. One is a crucial question whose
answer takes the story IN hand snap
ing it to a tragic climax. but com
pletelv reasonable and plausible one.
And so these stories go on, each deal
ing with some human problem, WIN
some vital and valid question, each OF
them, too. projected with color ana
drama and vividness.

GHOST HOUSE. BY Foxhan Danger
field. New York: d. Appleton & 80.
THIS author has set his haunted
house in the best possible place.
Black Swamp Manor stands alone on
the edge Of the great swamp reaches
Of Louisiana. Such a situation COM
bined with family following of
negroes almost compels the presence
Of a ghost, whether or no. So. the
story. even before 1t begins. is sup
piled with the prime essential of
mystery. And. once set agoing, the
ghost works like a good fellow to keep
everybody, even the white folks. gen
timely uneasy. But this is more tina n
a mystery tale. 1t is the story Of "a
restless household--the father a man
of fierce moods and strange absences,
the mother a lovable woman. the two
girls not yet at the age of self .asser-
ton and disobedience. Nice southern
children. The prime character in this
adventure Is the maiden aunt from
New England who has no fears or
hesitations about prying into the
secrets that seem to be playing ducks
and brakes with her sisters ample
property. With true Yankee prompt
ness and energy Aunt Felicia takes
matters in hand. once she has arrived
at Black swamp Manor. This is her
story. She herself tells us all about
her fight with her brother-in-law, who
is enough Of a scamp to require the
outstanding figure Of Aunt Felicia to
expose and Illustrate his blusterins
meanness. 1t Is a good story----not all
| mystery, YOU see. Indeed. there Is
only enough of mystery here to make
good use of the material at hand-the
manor. the swamp. the negroes the
man himself and. above all. the sterl
ing qualities OF Aunt Felicia who
was able to handle the family affairs
OF her sister and a full-grown mystery
besides.
