DOGMATISM VS PATRIOTISM


 political parties has taken stand on the prohibition ques ton But for several reasons for alarm Platforms have not been drawn or adopted Until the national conventions held there be official pro- nouncements from party organizations.
 To suppose that any party can consistently take stand other than enforcement of existing laws is untnk able It has been long taken for granted that govern ment should and must enforce and administer its own en- actments Otherwise there would be no government Ii it has come to question merely of whether to enforce and administer existing law than the country Tn sad plight!
 This does not mean that party shall be denied the right to exercise it's freedom with respect to enforcing modification of the VOStead Act or the repeal or the 18th Amendment. That right is fundamental. Any man, or political party may consistently and legally raise flnanc es carry propaganda thru press, platform, radio or soap box to abolish thru the ballot every vesge of proh bitOrv statutes concerning the traffic intoxicating liquors While we would be far from predicting any such sweeping measures yet the right to adopt them remains nvioate and absolute just the right of thos who advo cate prohibition to campaign has remained sanctioned and unQueSlOned
 No political group should make nasty decisions. To be dogmacto make assertions of policies before final judgments are formed and the will of the majority ascer taineds as detrimental to success silence in the face of established truth. In government as in other sys- ems and phiIosophes nothing is absolute except princi ples No political party is going to take snap judgment against established institution like prohibition without consulting the In the end the parties are the peo- pie.
 Dogmatism is not patriotism. Each party has it's extremists The party that is wise will not only refrain from platform of radical change, but will go only so far as the judgment of the people warrants The best any party say that prohibition is with and being with us must be enforced unless and until repealed.
 Two possible things happen to prohibition as It now exists One is that by strict enforcement will do away with intemperance and drunkenness The other IS that it will enforce itself into sweeping repeal and hence out of existence Thus genuine wet and genuine dry will both advocate the same enforcement, while the rest of the world watches for the result.

Hish.Speed Records.

MOT all the high-speed records can
be claimed by modern enterprise.
Research into the performances of the
men who built the first transconh-
mental rail- DAD in rae United States
shows that on April 90. 1850, a crew
of 5000 men, with five trainloads Of
material. on the Central Pacific Rail
road. laid 10 miles of track between
dawn and nightfall, record which Is
believed not to have been equaled IN
later days, even with improved
machinery.
In all. this pioneer crew laid abou-
$500 rails that day. handling some
1000 tons of metal with their hands
A pair of rails every SO seconds anG
a mile Of track in 312 hours were con-
sidered ordinary performances III
those days of romantic trail-breaking
across the plains.
1t Is true that modern equipment is
much heavier and the track was not
40 solidly ballasted as is customary
nowadays. but the comparison is not
entirely unfair when 1t is considered
that the workers Of 1859 did almost
all the labor with their hands.
