Originally for few years the office
of Speaker was nOn-political, as that
office still is in the House of Com
mons. But for generations the func-
tions and duties of the speakership
have divided themselves into two gen.
eral classes-the one parliamentary
and the other political. A Speaker in
these days has no such degree of po-
Iitical power as during d part OF the
time that Speaker Cannon, censured
as "Czar," held that office, and has
since been loved for and by the enc.
mics he made In those fighting days.
OF course, the Speaker of the House
has a much wider range of activity
than the presiding officer Of the SEN
ate. The former can vote, can take
part in the debates of the committee
of the whole, and when the House is
in session he can call another mem
Der to the chair and take part in the
House debates. The Vice President is
not a participant in the proceedings
of the Senate, except to preserve
order, apply the rules and cast the de-
Gliding vote when there is a tie. For
him-to quote line from Hamlet
the rest is silence"
While this is now the approved re-
lation of the Vice President to the
Senate, at the start there was some
tendency in the opposite direction.
The very entertaining journal of Will
liam Maclay, one of the Pennsylvania
Senators in the First Congress, de-
picts Vice President Adams as fire.
quently and aggressively entering the
Senate discussions. He shows also
the rather unpleasant experience Of
President Washington. when he per-
sonaily visited the Senate to confer
about the ratification of treaties. He
terminated his last visit with the
emphatic statement that he would
never be found there again.

Men suffer from it less than
women largely because their life

Of the fair is to be put on by local

the cast are unusually reticent about
the plot, 1t promises plenty of action.

DOUBT SALE
Continued from Paae One)

of six months under sanction of AS
sistant Secretary Andrews of the
treasury, in charge of prohibition en-
forcement. there arises the question
whether the sale Of this tonic will be
legal in Maine, the pioneer prohibit
ton state.
1t appears from information given
out at the State attorney generals
department that while the Maine
/ statutes do not define the amount
of alcohol that may be used in
medicine it clearly states in Chap
ter 1873 Of the laws of 1923 that
a beverage containing one-half of
one per cent of alcohol by volume is
declared intoxicating. So the oues-
ton may arise whether the tonic is
used as beverage or a medicine.
The fact that the tonic is to be
placed on the market for six months
trial period under the sanction of the
Federal official in charge of pro-
hibition enforcement and that per-
mits for the manufacture and sale of
the tonic at drug stores throughout
the country without the require
| ment of prescriptions have been is
| sued to Anheuser Busch, Inc. and
the Pabst Brewing Company. would
| make no difference regarding the
legality of it's sale in Maine if the
courts should determine that the
tonic was being used for beverage
purposes and was intoxicating.
In this connection, it appears that
some years ago before the passage
of the Federal prohibition amend
ment when it was necessary to have
Federal license to sell Intoxicating
| liquor, the license protected the
seller only against the Federal gov
eminent. The holding of such Ii
censes in Maine was declared to be
prima facie evidence that intoXicat-
! ing liquors were being sold in viola
ton of the Maine statute.
