"the soberest legion convention on

less drunkenness, less disorder, less
hoodlumisnl, than any of its prede-
cessors.
And that can mean only that the
great majority of legionnaires felt the
responsibility of maintaining their
country's reputation and resisted the
temptation to convert a holiday op-
portunity into a riotous occasion.
That the opportunity existed every
body knows. There was aboundant
hospitality, but there was also de-
cent restraint.
The wet may see in this argument
for such freedom to lawful intoxi-
cants as Paris affords. There is an
other Interpretation of it, however,
which appears to us more creditable.
1t is simply that in spite of al: propa-
ganda to the contrary, the influence.
of prohibition is working to create a
steadier American manhood, and the
stronger habits of control which have
developed throughout vast areas of
the United States since the enact
ment of prohibitory laws, are prov

MAINE RETAINS PRIMARY
Vote on Return to Convention System
Defeated Two to One; Primary
Continues to Win

Some of the Maine politicians are very
anxious to go back to the old convention
system of making nominations. They,
therefore, made arrangements to have a
statewide referendum on the matter.
This vote was taken several weeks ago.
While the total vote cast was light in
comparison with that cast in general cleo
tons, nevertheless the ratio in favor of re-
tanning the primary system was approxi-
mately two to one.
Similar attempts to repeal primary cleo
ton laws have been made in the last FIVE
years in Arizona Nebraska, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Ohio and Wash
ington. In al OF these states the aggre-
gate vote cast has been light, and yet the
average verdict for the retention of the
primaries has been practically the same
ratio as that recently recorded in the
Maine vote.

MAKING PROHIBITION EFFECTIVE

(From Union Signal, Nov. IS, 1927
The vets have hailed a series of ar
tic1es by Chester p. Mills, former federal
prohibition administrator of the Second
Federal Prohibition district, which have
appeared in recent numbers of Golfers,
as furnishing proof that prohibition is a
failure and that men charged with its en-
forcement are crooks.
Such conclusions are far from the truth.
Major Mills has stated that he found en-
forcement difficult in New York because
the liquor traffic is carrying on, in poll
tics and in social life, the same old GRIM
inal practices which it has always re-
sorted to and is al1ying itself with the
spoi1s system, SO unfortunately entrenched
in our party government.
However, emitting all the recital of po-
1itica1 interference, of court delays, of le-
gal quibblings, found in the articles, there
is still ample evidence of the forward
movement toward effective enforcement
in one of the most difficult areas in the
United States. The last paragraphs of the
fourth article may we'll be quoted as pre-
senting Major Mills general attitude to-
ward the whole question:
..The Federal Government can see to it
that the eight sources of bootleg supply
are stopped-viz., sacramento wine, me-
dicina1 whisky, breweries, tonic and pat
ent medicine whisky wine for vinegar, de-
natured alcohol, commercial stills and
prohibition headquarters But the Gov
eminent cannot do so while prohibition
is the looting ground of patronage.
Police authorities can close every
speak-easy in every city, town and village,
for they cannot operate, any more than
houses of il1-fame, without knowledge of
the police and without giving graft, big
and little, to the police. Indeed, needing
larger patronage, i'll order to survive, they
are more amenable to police control than
houses of i'll fame.
Prohibition can be made effective if
the politicians and the people want it. :.

Supreme Court of the United States
Is Stake VETS for; Inference
in Chiefs Statements
AUDACIOUS EFFRONTERY
But 1t Shows Why Vets Are so
Anxious to Elect a Wet Presi-
dent; Should Be Warn
ing to Drys

The vets real objective in their effort
to put one of their number in the White
House is the capture OF the Supreme
Court of the United States. At least,
this is the inference drawn from state
ment credited by the New York Times OF
October q to Captain William II. Stay
ton, head of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment.
In this statement is clearly seen warn
ing to Smith, Reed and Richie.
The New York Times quotes Stayton
as saying: The idea that thirty-six states
are necessary to upset the Eighteenth
Amendment is a fallacy. What is needed
is one more member of the United States
Supreme Court to be liberal
Henceforth let the slogan of the Associ-
alton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment be "One more liberal judge OF the
United States Supreme Court
Evidently despairing of achieving the
annulment of prohibition by the orderly
legal ard constitutional methods, the pro-
gram OF the vets is to capture the United
States Supreme Court.
1t would be interesting to know which
four OF the judges OF our high tribunal the
vets are claiming. Not only is this poll
of the court a bit OF audacious effrontery,
But it reveals purpose which ought to
startle the nationl Nothing would be more
threatening to the stability of our gov
ernment than an impression that an evil
like the liquor traffic controlled our Unit
ed States Supreme Court, or that this high
tribunal had been chosen with view to
the protection OF the liquor traffic
While there is no question about the
nature OF the issue which Captain Stayton
has raised, he undoubtedly is proceeding
upon an entirely false assumption. The
fact that all of the judges have not always
agreed on every detail of the prohibition
law by no means establishes the fact that
any OF them can be counted upon to annul
the law because Of their own liberalism"
1t may be assumed that in some in
stances executives and administrators are
more or less governed in their own per-
sonal acts by their opinions or preiu-
dces, but American Issue believes it
speaks the opinion of the mass of our citi-
zens in saying that our courts, and espe-
cially the United States Supreme Court
are controlled but little if at all by per-
sonal opinion.
However, Captain Stayton's unguarded
statement reveals the true purpose of
the vets in their frantic effort to elect
president The president appoints the
members of the Supreme Court, and APP
parently this is the stake for which they
are playing.
This new development in the presiden-
tial nomination scramble should serve as
a warning to our sober-minded citizens.
Let them not be misled by any law en-
forcement declaration by any candidate
whose record is wet and who receives the
support of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment. We need and
must have President who If called upon

R. 1. PILOTS ARE
 MISSING AT SEA
No Word From Providence Duo Since Sunday Night

Providence, R. l., May 10 R- Captain Gus Bihan. 50, of this city. and Captain George Addison Rose of Jamestown, R. l., have been miss ing at sea since they left James, town at 8 o'clock Sunday evening 10 keep an appointment made by cable from Lisbon, Portugal. to meet the Fabre liner Providence at No Mans Land buoy. south of Mar tha's Vineyard, and pilot the steam CT to this city.
 They were to meet the Provi- dence at six o'clock yesterday morn- ing but missed the steamer. which was brought into the state pier here by Pilot Clarence King.
 Brenton's Reef, Woods Hole, Cutty- hunk and Gayhead spent a futile night in the dense fog prevailing from Nantucket to Block Island, searching for the missing men. Friends of Roses took his launch, The Angelus, late last night, and set sail for No Mans Land, hoping to pick him up today if the fog lifts. Radio descriptions of Bihan's boat a 2S foot sea skiff capable of fl knots an hour, have been broad cast. Bihan and Rose left with no food and only 15 hours fuel sup ply.
 Bihan is known as the wiliest and boldest pilot in NarraGansett Bay, where pilots are now engaged in an intense, individual warfare since the regulatory association that formerly assigned them to various ships be- came disrupted a few months ago. Dashes out to sea for unprecedent- cd distances in order to be the first to sight incoming ocean vessels lave become the practice among thepilots, and Binhan has distin- guished himself as one of the most successful in these sorties.
 Sometime ago he travelled, with Rose, nearly to Nantucket in order to pilot the steamer Roma, arriving here from Mediterranean ports. Later. with young protege named Paul Bennett, Bihan outwitted a whole fleet of pilots who had bottled him up" at Narragansett Pier and took in the steamer Sinaia, arriving from Marseilles and the Azores, while his rivals were chas- ing Q freighter in a fog, under the impression he had given them that she was the 'Sinaia.
 l., or1 born in Bordeaux, France, Rose is about 40, and is a native Rhode Islander.
