as prohibocrits, combination Of the word prohib
ton and hypocrits
For he has discovered that very many men,
especially in public office, very damp in their
personal habits and very dry in their official actions
He would this word epithet of con-
tempt and would have it rgidly applied by both the
prohibocrats and the frankly vets.
That there vast numbers OF men in public
office, in Legislatures, in State captos, in county
offices, who pledge the dry voters their support and
then openly violate the same law as often as oppor-
tunity presents, is no secret.
The disappearance of whisky from Federal build
ings suggests that not all Government officials are
opposed to whisky its use.
Sometimes a word destroys. If the word prohib-
ocrit would drive from Office all those who gain
it by an appeal to dry forces and then fagranty
violate the law themselves the State Senator would
deserve the thanks of those who really want the
law enforced. But long there remain in Office
men who give word allegiance to the law only, pro-
hibition must remain more or less of a farce.

Marie Walsh and Frank Ellis Collect
Real Comedy for Their Variety Act

Marie Walsh and Frank Ellis may
not know what it is to be really
serious, but on the last half bill at
the Palace this week they certainly
know how to turn in a great collec-
ton of comedy.
Ellis on first appearance impresses
one as one of those informal types
that just doesn't care what it is all
about. He develops the idea and 1t
is not long until every one is with
him.
He is especially good in sort of
singing monologue in which he tells
us Of what a good little house ours
is" He makes this little speciality
carry a lot of real honest comedy.
Miss Walsh is an able partner in
all the fun and contributes a charm
ing appearance and personality to
their offering. One of her numbers
that she, and many out front, APP
parently liked very much is an
Egyptian dance that she does fol-
lowing a song by Ellis.
This team has a good sense of
comedy and they use it well.
Hewitt and Hall offer some good
harmony singing aNd a little COM
edy. They are likeable pair of men
and their musical numbers are

New Words Needed

New conditions necessitate new words The
dictionary grows phenomena appear in so
ciety and old words fail to describe them.
Comes now member OF the State Senate with
the suggestion that the prohibition question de-
mands the introduction of at least two new words
to designate the defenders of the present age of
Volsteadism.
The Senator has had chance to observe He
has the background of experience. He has been in
position to understand. "Prohibocrat" is his sug
geston for branch of the dry forces and by this
name he would identify all those who really believe
in prohibition in principle and believe in it so firmly
that they would cast aside all the safeguards of the
Bill of Rights in order to destroy alcohol
He has discovered that this question of pro
hbition is OF such strong appeal to many that they
believe that if necessary, all force and power of
Government should be used to search homes in
wade automobiles tap hip pockets, smell breaths
and fill jails with those who offend.
He would thus distinguish those who believe
in Government by force and correct human habits by
jas and fines.
The other word he believes would characterize
much larger following and these he would classify

Tracy
Forged Document and
BoISheviSt Tales May
Have Common Source
BY NJ. f.. Tracy


Stories coming out of Washington
with regard to those forged Mexican
notes sound very much like the tale
of Bolshevist hegemony in Central
America which one news service SO
blithely fathered for the State De-
partment last November.
One may be pardoned for suspect
ing that they emanate from the same
source. They certainly presented the
same other marks-anonymity, hid
den meaning and an obvious desire
to throw dust in somebody's eyes.
We are not only told that the forger
is known, but just how he worked.
This being so, why is it necessary
to leave out his name?
He washed the contents off the
State Departments papers, it seems,
leaving only the head and Mr.. KEEL
logg's signature, and then wrote in
what he liked. Sometimes, it is in.
simulated, he didn't wash off all the
contents, but only word of phrase
here and there.
The mystery of it is how he came
by the papers in the first place. Did
he steal them outright, like a COM
mon thief, or was he in position to
make use of them without having to
employ such methods?
If theft was committed, did it &C.
cur in Washington, Mexico City, or
while the papers were in transit?

France and China

France is preparing to give up her
Shanghai concession to the Can
tonese, according to one report, and
Japan is ready to take drastic &C
ton against them, according to
another.
You couldn't blame France very
much If she did take such action,
because when the international
settlement was barricaded, her con-
cession was left out.
Still it would complicate matters
not only in China. but in other
places. The situation has become
so tense that public opinion in
Europe and America would resent
any move that weakened the COM
mon defense or that placed foreign
ers in more danger than they already
are.
AS for Japan. she is merely max
ing a virtue of necessity by lining up
with the English.
