THOSE SENSIBLE NORWEGIANS

Seven years ago Norway went dry.
Ever since then the country has been beset
by rum runners, bootleggers poison liquor which
simply could not be stopped and-well, you know
how it is here in the United States.
That's just the way it's been in Norway.
have been hanging fire for inexcusably long time
because showed aside by the wet-dry question.
1t didn't mat err very much how a candidate
stood issue involving the life or death of the
nation just so he was right on prohibition
Finally the people got sick Of the situation. They
either wanted prohibition they didn't want it.
They did not want what they had to continue.
And, being a nation almost without any Hitter
ates whatever, but pretty we'll informed lot they
decided to put it to vote
They did-Tuesday. You know the result 1t
was landslide against prohibition.
But that is not the meat in the cocoanut says
Premier Lykke. "The thing is, it's settled. And I'm
glad. We suppress the criminal booze ped
dlers, big and little, and what's important STILL
the prohibition question has been got of the way
of greater problems that await solution"
1--WE have at last shown that are a sensible
people," remarked the grzzled old Arctic explorer
Raold Amundsen, after the plebiscite.
And haven't they?
The Latins have saying that door must be
open shut In this country are still trying
to have ours both ways.

Drinking in Commons

BY vote and resolution, the Brit.
ish House of Commons has denied
that its members get drunk, or con.
duct themselves In an unbecoming
manner because Of the influence of
liquor.
The debate which preceded this
verdict Of self Righteousness was
heated enough to be truthful in spots.
T. H. O'Connor, father Of the
House" said that drunkenness is not
nearly so prevalent now as it used
to be. and cited anA>incident in the
career Of William Pitt to prove st.
A member rose one day to tell Pitt
that he couldn't see him.
Pitt, who had just consumed three
quarts of port, said that while he
could see three men talking, he could
only hear one voice, and didn't feel
equal to passing on the question.
DIR. Alfred Salter, a Laborite mem.
Der, who brought charges of drunk
enness in the first place and is re-
sponsible for all the commotion, said
that he was willing to admit that
the use of liquor is not so common az
1t was even three or four years ago.
but that It is still common enough to
be disgraceful.

"OUR MAN WATSON"

More Illuminating than any spoken word is the
letter from the woman who led the Khan forces in
the State last January when she wrote so pathecal
y of the falling off of membership, the lack of funds
and then declared that "our man Watson" would
have clear sailing in Khan politics.
Even more significant is her promise that after
April salary and expenses would be paid to her
worker who called upon to carry a cam
1t may be remembered that it was in April that
the Watson organization made its public appearance
and the treasurer hand. That banishes all
the explanation that the members of that order favor
Watson because he was against the World Court
He had not, at that time, made known his position
on the subject Senators who had charge of the
Coolidge effort to pass the measure did not know
The leaders of the opposition did not know. Until
the last minute he listed doubtful" Were
needed, turn to the undenied charge of Claris
Adams, his opponent in the primaries who declared
that Watson had told at least two that he voted
against the court only when he assured that his
vote was not needed to pass it and that he had
helped to other votes for the court while
cast his against it.
In the light of this sincere letter. so sincere that
it reveals the enthusiasm and the purpose of it's
writer, the formal explanations and denials of
Senator Watson of any dealings with wizards and
dragons lose their punch.

Who Knows We Can't
Find Out About Planet
MarS2
BY NJ. e. Tracy

Not as you understand distance,
but in the language of astronomers,
Mars will be close to the earth this
coming weeks.
A thousand telescopes are being
polished and adjusted while radio
enthusiasts from Hong Kong to New
York will tune in with the hope of
hearing something. You think it
funny, perhaps, and wonder why
these people can't find something
more practical to concern them
selves about. You regard is as ride
ulous that they should consider the
possibility of learning anything
worthwhile by shooting at such long
range.
Mars will be $4,000, 900 miles away
Our fastest railroad train couldn't
make the journey in 100 years, and
there are no tracks.
Light, however, makes it in four
minutes. The earth travels through
space at lightning rapidity and could
make it in thirty days.
Something in nature produces
speed that is far beyond steam and
the combustion engine. Who knows
that we can't discover what it is if
we keep trying?
We can communicate with each
other around the world in a matter
Of seconds. Why should we assume
that it is impossible to communicate
across the great voids of space?
Because conditions on Mars ap.
pear different from what they are
on earth, some say that life cannot
exist there, but why? Why should
we suppose that the kind of life we
know Is the only kind?
Mars may represent a spirituality
ages In advance of us, or it may be
a rusty old ball that is about ready
to disintegrate. We have no right
to waste time arguing over what we
don't know. 1t is our business to in
vestigate and experiment. Even
though We never hit the mark, we
shall learn something.
