WOMEN VOTERS LEAGUE ACTS
National League Refuses to Commit
Self to Opposition to Modifca-
ton of the Volstead Law

The National League of Women Not-
ers, in convention in St Louis, April 20,
refused to commit itself to the minority
report opposing modification OF the Vol
stead act and the Eighteenth Amendment
by rejecting a resolution to that effect by
a vote OF III to 70.
The convention, however, with only
few scattering nays, adopted a.resolution
calling upon federal, state and local off
Gals TO use to the fullest extent the
power conferred upon them for the ef-
fective establishment OF prohibition and
Recommending civil service merit selec-
ton of enforcement officers.
The issue was drawn by a debate on
whether the league should meet crisis
in prohibition and SHOW its coiorso or
adhere to technical procedure and decline
to take action affecting legislation until
the question had been referred to the
state bodies.
incidentally it was felt that any action
upon the No1stead act would embarrass
the leagues general legislative program
i'll Washington.
Mrs Maude Wood Park, former ma
tional president and league legislative rep
resentative before Congress- led the op-
position to minority committee report,
which added to the general enforcement
resolution the clause: I'VE urge Con-
gress to resist all attempts to undermine
OF weaken the provisions OF the Eight
zenith Amendment and the Nolstead act
Several OF the speakers against this
clause indicated their sympathes Tor it,
but declared dangerous precedent would
be established by snap or "hysterieal'
action. They pleaded against a vote that
would destroy the leagues prestige and
power which, they said, had been butt
upon the reputation for no decision with
out lengthy deliberation.
A telegram from Carrie Chapman Gait,
one of the founders of the league and its
first president, was read. This telegram
reads Il support the national prohibit
ton amendment and enforcement act.
This crisis demands brave oeeds'

The action taken was purely an admin
istrative measure in continuance of the
policy embodied in the convention be-
tween the two countries regarding regu-
lation of the liquor traffic, he said. His
statement was in answer to a question
regarding the reported agreement and
whether lie would consider obtaining
some concession in return. Sir Austen
said the governments action was not i'll

The wet inning before the congress
sional committee reminds one of what
Henry Ford once said, "Prohbition came
to the United States because OF tie as
sininity OF saloon leadership and like
wise we may add that same "assininity'
will put force i'll enforcement. New
York and Chicago witnesses boosted OF
their crime conditions, and these two sec
tons Of Europe planted on American soil
simply revealed that the crime spots of
America are the wet spots OF Our coun-
try.=
DR.. Evans Of the Chicago Tribune
health column claims that wet nose
is a non-functioning nose, and by the
same token wet leadership proved that a
wet city" is a non-funetioning city
The wet witnesses presented horrible
picture of their own crowd, thieves, muir
derers, assassins. liars, hypoerites, and
not single dry in their bunch.
The vets remind NE OF little Freddy.
who came home from school crying and
told mamma that teacher whipped him be
cause he was the only boy in school that
could answer a question she asked.
Mother was indignant and wanted to
know what the question was. Freddy re-
piled, "She wanted to know who put the
glue in her ink bottle According to wet
testimony they put the glue in the ink
bottle hence their walls
Maxim, inventor of "smokeless pow

when he said "Bryan died of eating candy
because his nature crayed the sweets
which alcohol afforded" May remind
this aged patriarch and defender Of pan
ther milk" that Bryan was a diabetc and
did not cat candy at all? I have seen him
carry his LOAF OF gluten bread to the ban
quet table and carefully avoid all sweets.
The vets have always been noted for
their reckless handling of facts. Senator
Edge testified that the city government of
Cleveland, O., passed resolution pray

and some Judge prevented It's transmits

then tried to get the facts from Senator
Edge, and the Chicago Tribune reports
that Edge failed in the matter OF exact
response and did not have facts about the
judge to submit" His story was like
other Munchausen wet tales told the conf
mttee that could not be verified Many
witnesses clamored for referendum.

With it introduced, there will be

The Mcclellan bill will reflect the
fast changing attitude Of Tennessee
business men toward those who
would give not only Muscle Shoals
but practically all of the Tennessee
River to private power interests. Nc
Keilar is insistent that the nitrate
plants at Muscle Shoals be fully de-
veloped for national defense and for
experimentation in fertilizer manu-

distributed to the public in all near
