m HERE has always been and will always be
/ an insistent demand that all laws be en-
forced
We do not believe that the readers of this
newspaper approve of present conditions under
which Federal agents, police officers and sher-
ifs are constantly corrupted by criminal boot
leggers.
We do not believe that any condition, is
wholesome which offers opportunities to these
bootleggers to make fortunes by catering to
the appetites of large portion of the popu-
lation.
We do not believe that parents look with
calmness upon situation where their boys and
girls of high school age are tempted by hip
TASKS and can so easily fill them.
We do not believe that the constant spec
tacle of corruption and failure to enforce
the law is an inspiration for respect for any
law
We do not believe it wholesome that many
men who would scorn to commit other crimes
condone violations of this law.
1t is to save the country from the ram
pant anarchy which has existed in every por-
ton of it, from the intemperance which has
been brought to States and cities formerly
temperate, that it has from time to time sug-
gested that prohibition thus far has failed to
accomplish the purpose for which it is de-
signed.
In our Interpretation of patriotism in a
republic there can be no higher purpose than
to make the will of the majority the law of
the land.

that behind prohibition there be put the vote
of the thinking men and women of this coun-
try?
The big foe to American institutions is the
ntolerant insistence of minorities, to rule ma
jorities.
That road led to bolshevism in Russia
where a small group by its tyrannies and force
mpresses it's will upon the countless millions
In Italy it takes the form of the black
shirts of a Mussolini, where force and castor
oil have reduced population to servitude, to
fascism.
This country is not ready for dictatorship
not by Trotzky of bolshevism, Mussolini
of fascism, or paid propagandists who use the
brutal power of unwarranted libel and SANDER
and accusation.
Taken all in ALL and the only occasion for
any comment is the official position and pres
tige of the professional dry leader of the
State.
The attitude of the Times has been more
plain and consistent and clear than that of the
organization he represents.
1t believes in sobriety and temperance.
1t believes that the law should be enforced
as long as it remains upon the law books.
1t believes that it should be repealed or
modified if a majority of the people so desire.
1t believes that all law must rest upon the
organized conscience of the people.
1t believes that at all times the people
themselves must rule.
Not wet, Mr.. Shumakers- just plain Amer

CONSTANTLY envy, like all
other men, a youngster OF
~ 8 or Of or 10. Down there
in the age where all life is a grin,
where youth has It's fun, ere the
worries come in.
There's something concerning all
kids that know, that makes me
feel bad when know they must
grow. 1 guess, after all, If you hit
at the truth, we all feel that way
when were drifted from youth.
A grown-up can thrill DER the
pep Of a boy who lives in a world
that is made up Of joy: who's reapin'
the best that he possibly can, yet
missin a lot-as he'll find when a
man.
You never appreciate bein' a child,
an runnin' through playdays a little
bit wild, until you are grown-then
it's always too late to live 1t all over
the working Of fate.
I wish l could tell every lad in
the land, the meaning OF youth SO
he'd we'll understand. and get all the
fun and the pleasure. but gee, they'll
never find out till they're grown up,
like me.
Washings may not be all wool
but they're usually a yard wide.

sprang farther than man.

to be done. That's the best way to

And the best way to put it out of

TTlHE head Of the AntiSaloon League Of
IL this State has listed this newspaper,
along with numerous other important publica-
tions, as ''wet" and in his report to his direc-
tors charges that it has engaged in an 'unpa-
triotio" effort to overthrow the law.
The gentleman is mistaken.
The readers Of this newspaper under
stand the policy Of this newspaper in its COM
ments On prohibition.
They know that it has stood for law and
that its effort has been to restore law and re-
spect for law and to preserve, most Of all, the
traditions Of American liberty.
It has pointed out from time to time that
there has been lack Of enforcement Of the
prohibition law and it has called attention Of
it's readers to the fact that the workings Of
prohibition have not resulted in reduction
Of crime or poverty which the real friends of
temperance and the real foes of alcoholic ex-
cesses had hoped it would bring
It has been the dry spokesman and advo-
cate at all times, because it wanted sobriety
and not drunkenness; law, not anarchy.
It has been always the advocate Of any
measure which will reduce drunkenness. But
it has not been so foolish or so blind as to be-
lieve that any act OF Congress has the authority
Of divine inspiration or is beyond all scrutiny,
examination or repeal
The charge Of being "unpatriotic" is a
rather serious one for we have believed that
we were especially patriotic when tried, as
far as we might, to save the foundation princ-
pies Of this Nation.
We believed we were patriotic when we
hoped that the time would come when this
crime would not be fashionable.
We believed we were patriotic when we de-
handed that the final law of the land be the
will of the people
n f we should desire to adopt the methods
- of our accuser, we might retort that the
Anti-Saloon League has become Rcommercial-
lied institution, that it carries on it's work for
hire, that it has challenged our traditions by
endeavoring to link the forces of church and
State and has endeavored to make organized
religion dominating force in politics and
government. But we prefer to settle the mat
ter on the facts and the record.
It is not defense, but it is significant to
note that the policy of this paper on this sub
ject has been that of committee of great
Americans, including ministers, college pres-
dents, statesmen and fnanciers which have
demanded an honest study Of the situation and
a solution based on facts instead of fanaticism
or appetites,
1t is also significant to note that the tenn
perance societies of at least three large church
organizations are on record as approving ex-
actly the stand which this paper has taken.
This newspaper believes that it has duty
to perform and it intends to perform it despite
the charges and ibels of paid propagandists

dent have not been made clear, these include three members of the tariff commission, Edgar B. Bros sard of Utah, and Sherman Y. Low ell of New York, republicans, and Harry II. Classic of Maryland, dem ocrat.
 The names of the first two were sent to the senate last spring but no action was taken upon them and the term of MT. Classic expired during the summer. It has been in- dicated that the president desired to know more definitely the position of congress toward a proposal for re- ducing the number of commission CTS before he made further full term appointments.
 In the newly created middle judi cial district of Georgia, William J. Tilson of Atlanta, brother of Repre- sentative TilSon of Connecticut, the republican floor leader of the house, IS serving as judge by recess ap- pointment after the senate had fail ed to confirm him last spring over the objection of the two senators from that state. Nominations for United States marshal and United States attorney for the district, meanwhile, have been held up.
 A somewhat similar situation ex- ists in Alaska, where a judge and United States attorney are to be named for the first division and a judge for the third division. The president withdrew nominations for these offices last spring after the senate judiciary committee had de- cided that they could not be con- firmed, and in the meantime, the incumbents have continued in office as provided by law.
 One vacancy is to be filled in the federal trade commission, due to the expiration in September of the term of Houston Thompson, demo- crat, of Colorado, and an assistant secretary of the treasury in charge of internal revenue is to be select ed to succeed Mckenzie Moss of Kentucky, who retired in the spring to become a judge in the court of claims.
 There also Is In prospect the nomination before congress ad- journs of Representative Ogden Mills, republican, New York, as un- der secretary of the treasury to sue ceed Gerard B. Winston, of Illinois, who plans to return to the practice of law in Chicago.

DOUBLE FEATURES
 AT THE LYCEUM
The Whipping Boss and Wasted
 Lives Sunday Only

For Sunday night only. the Ly- ceum is offering two big photoplay features which would have been shown longer had not the theater contracted for the showing of 'The Naked Truth" the entire week. Thus, Sunday nights audience alone will see "The Whipping Boss" and Wasted Lives"
 'The Whipping Boss" stars Lloyd Hughes in. the leading role and is thrillingly dramatic tale of the southern prison camps, where whipping bosses" are put in ch@rge of men and where the lash is ap- piled to those who err and to those who are disliked. Incidentally, this picture when it was written was dedicated to the American Legion.
 In Wasted Lives" an exception ally strong cast is seen. Leading the list is Elliott Dexter, Edith Roberts, Cullen Landis, Betty Francisco, Henry Hull, Phillip Smalley and Hayford Hobbs.
 Fundamentally, Wasted Lives" is society drama but has all the thrills of a melodrama and the scenic grandeur of a travelogue. It is the story of man who unselfish- ly loves a woman who herself Is willing to choke down her love in return for riches.
 In one of the big action scenes dive from dizzy height into a rag ing mountain stream and thrilling under water rescue are high spots.
 A selected comedy and the news reel also will be shown on this pro- gram.

The St. Matts took their opening game last week and show. ed much promise, the lineup consist ing of Goody and Billy Preisser. klop, Reckert and Suess. The Blue- birds have not yet shown their wares but they have almost the same team which made belated rush last win- ter and are considered a leading contender. "Bearcat" Nelson, Dave Swanson, Elmer Johnson, Carl John. son, Phil Walther, Dave Ellison. and Merwin Johnstone will give trouble for any team, and the St. Matts will have their hands full in trying to remain undefeated.

LILLIAN GISH AT
 THE NEW PALACE
'La BoheIne'' Is the Offering at
 Popular Movie Theater

As wistful, tragic heroine of La Boheme," she is magnificent.
 Mimi and Rodolphe live their idylic love and it's tragic ending over again, with Lillian Gish as the per soniffcation of the wistful heroine of the classic tale of the Paris Latin Quarter, in La Boheme" the much heralded limitation of the great story that inspired Puccinfs most famous opera and which opens up at the New Palace tomorrow night.
 La Boheme" has furnished Miss Gish with what is said to be the most perfectly suited role she has ever been seen in, and the making of the picture was hailed as one of the out standing events in screen history.
 La Boheme" tells the soul story of the women in the Paris Latin quarter, who inspire art students. young poets, and other geniuses in their struggle to fame. The world is fond of La Boheme" as the story is told in the opera; of it's tender love story and it's plaintive charm, but the tremendous drama Of 1.-the real drama envisioned by the author Of the famous old novel on which the opera was based, never showed even in the significant Puccini music.
 La Boheme" in the film is d poignant drama of human souls; 1t is a story of love and jealousy; of faith Nf InSnni> Of humor and pathos. One is carried away by the hitherto unsuspected immensity of the theme. But never for an instant does it lose that vital factor of a great film play-enter- tainment. It enthralls and charms but it entertains always.
