CHAPTER TX
The Election

1t rained on election day, cold No
vember drizzle. The day was legal
holiday and even the saloons were
closed. Yet Lake City was full OF
drunken men by noon.
There were great number Of In
dams in town that day, big dark fell
lows in muddy moccasins and faded
mackinaws, who stood about watching
the Vaccinations of the whites with
out audible comments:
Toward night the rain stopped and
Lydia begged her father to take her
into town to see the parade that would
be INDUCED in by the victorious
party Nine o'clock found the two at
the square with great waiting crowd.
There were very few women in the
crowd. Those that Lydia saw were
painted and loud-voiced Amos told
her vaguely that they were "hussies"
and that she was not to let go Of his
arm for an instant
lydia didn't know what hussy was,
but she didn't want to stir an inch
from her fathers side because of her
fear of drunken men.
1t was close on ten o'clock when the
sound Of drum was heard from the
direction of the Methodist church.
Binny Bates, the barber, in a stove
pipe hat, mounted on much excited
horse, rode up the street. Binny was
Levine man and the crowd broke
into cheers and catcalls.
After Binny came the band, playing
for dear life, Hail the Conquering
Hero" and after the band, two and
two, great line of citizens with kero-
sene torches. After the torches came
the transparencies: Levine Wins !"
'The Reservation Is Ours" "Back
to the Land, Boysw We've Dropped
the White Mans Burden"
And following the transparencies
came a surprise for crowd and parad-
ers alike. Close on the heels Of the
last white man strobe Charlie Jack
son, with q sign, "The Land Is Ours
You Have Robbed ISL" and after
Charlie perhaps a hundred Indians,
tramping silently two by two.
q luc SIoWo was OIL
prised into silence. Then a handful
of mud caught Charles sign and a
group of college students, with a
shout Of Break up the Incl Break
up the line," broke into the ranks OF
the Indians and in a moment free
for-all fight was on.
Amos rushed Lydia down side
street and upon street car. "Well
Well! Well!" he kept chuckling.
"John ate 'em alive! Well! Well!
"How soon will the Indians have
to get off the reservation" asked
Lydia.
ooh, in year or so! Johns got to
get bill through congress, you
know"
"Oh." Lydia gave a great sigh OF
relief; year or so was very long
time. She decided to forget the In.
dams trouble and rejoice in Levine's
triumph.
Charlie Jackson was taciturn for q
week or so, then he played brilliantly
In the Thanksgiving football game and
at the banquet which followed he was
his old and genial self.

Claw Enforcement Through Self Re-
straint," by DR.. Hastings H. Hart, is
written from the standpoint that we are
in danger of laying too much stress upon
the idea of enforcement and too little on
the idea of self-restraint. With an illus
tration of the difference between Amer
leans and Frenchmen shown in appropri-
ating fruit found on the highway, he re-
marks that it is probably due in part ito
the training of the youth in these Euro
pean countries from childhood to give
heed to authority and to hold the law in
reverence. Fashions and customs have
large part in directing Our acts. A few
years ago, appropriating spoons and other
hotel property as souvenirs and exhibit
ing them was "a common practice for
travellers" Now, no one of any social
standing would dream of admitting such
collecting. Therefore, invoke the power
of custom and fashion as aids to laws
that call for se1f-denial and self-control in
the interests of public welfare.

ANDREWS URGES FUND
Appeals to Ways and Means COMMITTEES
for Money for Under-cover Agents

Appeals to Ways and Means COMMITTEES
for Money for Under-cover Agents
Last week one day, General Andrews
appeared before the House Ways and
Means Committee and urged the crea-
ton of 100000 fund to finance under
cover operations and permit prohibition
officers to advance expense money TO
agents. 1t will be remembered that an
attempt to include such authority in the
Treasury department appropriations bill
was frustrated in the House.
General Andrews pointed out that such
under-cover methods are employed by the
Post Office department, the Internal Rev.
enue Department, and customs service in
experimenting mail frauds, counterfeiting
schemes, and smugglers. He explained
that the bill he advocates would merely
authorize the same use of money by the
prohibition unit which he contends is
faced by much more difficult task than
the others.

Andrews. 1--WE want to make it so that
man can wear a prohibition badge with
pride. We try to get rid of agents who

versely affected by being deprived of
ready supply of this material and the op-
portunity to employ it unhampered by the
onerous inspection and supervision that
would be necessary if it were obligatory
to employ alcohol suitable for beverage
use. From hat to shoes there is scarcely
an article of clothing in the production of
which alcohol is not needed The furni-
ture of the household, the family automo-
bile, ink, pencils, shoe polish-all the SIM
pie everyday necessities of life and COM
fort require alcohol in their manufacture.
So the protest against the Edwards bill
should be universal and it should be Wig
orous. No matter how small the vol
ume of alcohol needed by any manufac-
turer, there Is none who should not pro-
test against this unwarranted interior
ence. -.
The bill is vicious, the more so because
of its seemingly humanitarian alleged pur-
pose of preventing death By misadventure-
The purpose at which It is obviously di-
rected may be reached in other ways.
There is not this need to stiae legitimate
industry for the crime of the boot1egger.

leSsnesS." The attack in part follows:
There is no other purpose in the exist
ing laws providing for the denaturing of
alcohol than that of assuring a supply of
this material for industrial use. Denatur-
ing alcohol for any other purpose is IL
legal, no matter what the nature of the
denaturant employed. It might be argued
that the denaturing of alcohol for use as
a rubbing fluid for use on the human body
has no industrial purpose, but the denat-
uring must be done in the manufacture of
the rubbing fuid-in other words, the in
dustry, and not in the household or even
in the drugstore No amount of explain
ing or attempting to explain hidden mean
ings can make the Edwards bill anything
other than it is: design to deprive legiA
innate industry of alcohol suitably denat-
ured as the law now provides in order that
illegitimate industry may be facilitated
and violation of the law be made less
hazardous. 1t is design to nullify the
prohibition law and whatever may be the
attitude of any person toward the pur-
pose of that statute all must agree that
this attack upon it is not in the open.
