about. Those who are holding up hands of horror at the thought of bringing prohibi- tion back into politics should stop and ask themselves who first put 1t there.
 In any case, the people cannot be stop ped from talking about 1t and voting on 1t whenever they get chance. Here Is ano- ther clear consequence of the Senate hear ings They have revealed not only an in tense popular restiveness in the desperate situation of which Mayor Dever speaks, but a determination in some way to secure a fresh consultation of public opinion in all this business This has been so strikingly exhibited that it has deeply impressed man like Judge Gary He believes in prohibi- ton, both personally and as the head of 8 great corporation employing many thous- ands of workingmen, but it is now his con- viction that things have reached such a pass that referendum must be had. Whether ii results for or against prohibition, 1t is to- day the only form of safety-valve in sight to relieve a pressure which is becoming dan gerous. Even an official of the Anti-Sa- loon League comedies that, in the end, the people will insist on being allowed, by one means or another, to utter their true voice in respect to this now burning public ques- tion
 It has reached the point where it might almost be said of it. in Stewards words, that it represents an irrepressible conflict. Nei- ther side shows at present the slightest in tention of surrendering. The only hope of compromise appears to be along the lines proposed in the bill for referendum vote which has passed both houses of the New York Legislature, and which the Governor is expected to sign Should that appeal to the people of this State lead to an over whelming demonstration in favor of a change in the Volstead act, the movement toward the same end in other States would receive powerful impetus, and the final in- fluence brought to bear upon Congress could scarcely fail to be effective.-N.

A STITCH IN TIME

Several complaints have been voiced re, garding the bursts of speed exhibited by nJl- merous local motorists over the new cutoff road. Probably, if we had car we might go and do likewise for it is a fine highway but the cold facts remain stepping on the gas on some of the $" turns is taking un- necessary risk of ones precious neck.
 It would be well for some of these speed demons to slow down bit when approach ing turns, or at least toot their horn here instead of in Gabriel's Domain where they might be adorned with sprouting wings, or perhaps, somewhere else with a pitch fork.

A DESPERATE SITUATION"

The phrase is that of Mayor Dever of Chicago. Testifying before the Senate com mittee, he pointed to certain assured evils which have flowed from the VOlstead act. Be it remembered that he favors it's en- forcement so long as it is the law. Let 1t not be forgotten, either, that before he be- came Mayor he had been Judge. He is a man who weighs his words, and speaks on the basis only of what he believes to be the ascertained fact For his own part, he frankly admitted that he had in his pocket no ready-made and infallible remedy. It was for Congress to see what could be done.
 Two alternative policies lie open to it. One is modification of the statute, change of the demonstrated falsehood" of it's def milton of intoxicating liquor, and a release to the States of a larger measure of con- trol over the interpretation of the Eight eenth Amendment The other course is to heap one Draconian statute upon another. Make the possession of an alcoholic bever- age or the ownership of private still (eX- cept in a farmhouse) felony. Run up the expenses of the prohibition unit to S1000O0, 900 a year. Stiffen the law in every way, and fill the land with new swarns of Federal of fcials to execute it. Mayor Dever admit ted the possibility of such tactics, but he ob- served to the Senate committee 'there is time when the "people will revolt even against legal methods if they become too oppressive"
 Such appeals and warnings are really the most significant thing that came out of the prohibition hearings at Washington. There was maze of contradictory evid- ence. Witnesses violently refuted witness es. Not even on the simple fact of crime, as affected favorably or unfavorably by pro- hibition, was there agreement. In general, than the opening of public forum where one set of beliefs was vehemently asserted in opposition to another. But one thing that could not be reduced to writing or put tan- gibly into the testimony was deeply i'm pressed on all those present, and through the press reports carried to every part of the country. This is that the prohibition issue has become very much alive and threaten ing in our politics. Rightly or wrongly, powerful forces or discontent and resent ment have been roused and it is certain that they are going to find expression in the elections this year and in 1928.
 Mayor Dever holds this to be unfortun- ate. He thinks that if candidates for office are put up simply because they are Wet or Dry, the effect cannot fail to be to bring a lower order of ability into public life. Men of proved capacity and high standing will not be willing to enter contest where the chief issue will be their attitude toward pro- hibition. The Chicago Mayor is convinced that this unhappy effect of prohibition has already begun to be realized. He sees it in his own city, and he deprecates it's spread elsewhere, especially throughout the whole country in a national election. But what is to be done? Prohibition was thrust into pol 1 itics and forced to enactment by action at the polls By no other methods can modi- fcation of the Volstead act be brought
