Will Shift OutfieIders


nUCKY HARRIS is planning
to use a shift outfield again
this season.
Goose Goslin will generally be
found in left field. However, with
Joe Harris in the lineup, Goslin
will shift to right field whenever
the Griffmen are playing in Bos-
ton, where the left field is short
and the right section half mile
long.
Just who will play center re-
mains to be seen. Sam Rice is
almost certain to be found there
part of the season, certainly when
ever Joe Harris or Johnny Tobin
happens to be playing right field.
The real fight, it appears, for a
place on the team lies between
the lackadaisacal Tex Jeanes and
the smiling, peppery Earl Nc
Nicely, with odds slightly favoring
the latter.
Both Jeanes and McNeely are
right-hand hitters. The former
seems the harder hitter, the latter
equally good in the field and
far better man on the bases.
Neither strikes one as an espe-
cially strong pegger, but each is
good enough in these days of the
lively ball.

guarantees. They have consistently and
persistently endeavored to evade them.
For years and years it was the vets who
maintained political control by intrigue,
political terrorism concealed funds and
some strange alliances with big money
This strong language applies to the vets
and them alone
There is one statement in your article
with which we can agree You said that
drys are not crazy" This is true. But
we could hardly lay claim TO sanity if we
yielded to your demands and co-operated
in your so-called referendum Such a
scheme is in utter conflict in principle and
never can be reconced to the general
scheme of the American Constitution
The general scheme OF the American Con
stituton is completely balanced and
properly safeguarded representative form
OF government our scheme would
plunge Us at once into the abyss OF pure
democracy, and, il followed would be sub
versive OF all the safeguards of our form
OF republican government. And even if
such a referendum were submitted Off
cially to the people, when the votes were
all counted we would be just where we
are now, with the drys i'll large major

The following communication was sent
to the editor of the Chicago Tribune for
the Voice of the People column on the
date indicated below by Superintendent
Stafford but at the present writing has
not appeared in the columns OF the Trib-
une:
Chicago, ILL.,, March 81, 1926.
Dear Sir: | observe without surprise,
your editorial OF March 81, entitled
Whats the Constitution to a Dry? My
reply is: To a dry the Constitution is the
bulwark of our liberties and the founda-
ton upon which We base our hopes for
the maintenance Of law, order and good
government. The drys have consistently
compiled with the Constitution in all re-
spects II is the vets who have violated
it in the past. 1t is the vets who now adj
vocate policies which amount to nuli6ca-
ton of its provisions. Your own columns
have not failed to support such policy
for a long time.
1T was the United States Brewers
Ass ociation who were found guilty by the
United States Senate Investigating COM
mittee OF spending vast sums for the pur
pose of corrupting Legislatures and con
trolling Congress. 1t was the Texas brew
ers who pleaded guilty and paid heavy
fines for similar offenses.

tons properly safeguarded and in har-
mony with a republican form of govern
ment. That referendum is via the Amer
lean ballot box. The drys are ready to
meet the vets there, any time anywhere.
The drys complied with every provision
OF the Constitution in securing nation
wide prohibition. Let the vets repeal it
ii they can in the same way. There is no
honest alternative.
"All that the present demand of the
vets indicates is the weakness of thier po-

United States Attorney Bernstein, at
the recent Senate committee hearing at
Washington, said his record showed that
about 90 per cent of the vioiators of the
prohibition law are alien-born. He was
asked: DO you think light wines and
beer would decrease violations of the
law" 1T would only provide another
avenue of escape replied the witness.

DIR. Russell Bowie OF New York, says
that
Prohibition is the wrong word to
use in connection with the Eighteenth
Amendment. 1t should be known as the
emancipation act. It has emancipated
not on.y the individual who used to drink,
but it has emancpated the country from
the slavery of sordid, commercial
traffic in weakness
