The Constitutions Spirit.
iBoston News Bureau.)

fBoston News Bureau.)
 In setting forth the grounds for his objection to the 18th amendment and the Volstead Act Chairman Raskob of General Motors does well to lay so much stress upon what he considers the true spirit of the Constitution and upon the extent to which he considers both amendment and interpreting act to be repugnant to that spirit He adduees other arguments, but they are really subsidiary to illustrative of that central point.
 The very obvious fact has been that many Jealous protagonsts of prohibition have erred in double degree. They have taken unto them selves an unwarranted self esteem by preening themselves as pre-emnent defenders of the Con- sttution At the same time they have unfairly and unduly condemned and seorned as traitors to the sacred document all who would through whatever legal endeavor seek to have the amend ment altered or the defining act changed in the slightest And all that in an intoerant insist ence upon no jot or little of change in some thing which many folk think should not, by its own very nature, be in the Constitution at all
 It is true enough that looking solely at the letter of legalism there is question whatever as to the validity of amendment and act. They have both been tested in the court of last resort They went through all proper steps, they are backed by all needed powers. It may now in retrospect seem strange to recall that the last five Legislatures needed climbed on the amend ing bandwagon within three days a full year ahead of the most exuberant Anti-Saoon League prophecies, to imagine that Congress was biologically very scientific when 1t deemed 1n- toxicaton starts at F of 1 per cent But Con gress had the power to deem The amend ing process also had been letter-perfect.
 Granting all that does not heap any appro- brum upon citizens who, like MT Raskob after our having tasted the matured fruits of prohibit tion, would have public opinion and will,-the root of all law,-undo what are believed sad mistakes MT. Raskob, in asserting such ques- tions really economic and that "all laws should be governed by good economies has a right to protest against any attempt to cast moral obquity upon those who argue for atera- tion
 Likewise pertinent is the observation that 'prohbtion' is out of tune with the original spirit of the Constitution. That is all positive. The 18th amendment is all negation. So was the 15th,--the only other case of arrogation of police power to the Federal Government And both those articles are the only ones which somehow fail to command concience and SUD- port.
 In the beginning the Constitution enumerat ted at length what the Government or people might or should do; but it did not deal in shall nots " I Conceivably the shall not" concept might legal istically be stretched by strong or shrewd power human habit or taste.
 Incidentally has anyone heard any loud blast because Congress-the law-maker itsef-adiourn- ed in continuous defiance of the Constitutions mandate which bade it revise the House mem bership as soon the 1920 census figures were , available?

CURTIS OF THE kAW.

Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas. floor leader of the Republican majority in the United States Senate aimed at the Presidential nomination of his party and brought down that for the Vice Presidency. Which is not any indication of poor markmanship the part of the gentleman from Kansas Nor is his nomination any proof of unwse political judgment on the part of his party.
 Probably the underlying reason for the action of the convention in choosing running mate for Candidate Herbert Clark Hoover be found in the Senator's Kansas derivation. That State is in and of the farm belt Not all by any means but large number of farmers angry disappointed over the cavalier treatment meted out by the convention to the equalization fee principle that the cause of President Cool idges veto of the McNary- Haugen farm relief measure passed by the Congress during the sion that recently ended.
 Senator Curtiss constituency is largely agr- cultural He has than noddng knowledge of the farmers problems and has shown himself sympathetic Many farmers who might be in clined to view the Hoover candidacy with open suspicion will probably feel less inimica to it by reason of his mating with the Kansan. Sen ator Curtis voted for the passage of the Me Nary -Haugen bill Whether he believed in the equalization fee system it sought to establish is another matter Undoubtedly he convinced a majority or his Kansas farmer supporters want ed it and that most farmers in the Mississippi Valley region felt likewise. And it is not likely they will forget his vote in the Fall election.
 Whether they will remember, too, that when the brought back into the Senate with the Presidents veto he voted against it's passage and to sustain the President cannot be told before November But in this action he demonstrated that the loyalty he has dis played toward the party organization and ad- ministrations bearing its labels continues to be of the main guiding forces in his life. He cannot be classed member of the farm bloc any other bloc. He does not affiliate with the self-styled progressiyes He is first and last organization man. Party fealty to him is something than form it is a duty that each member to the organization, one that cannot be cast aside for the whim of a moment and reassumed at ones convenience oi to suit ones purposes. He is an earnest sincere and capable Senator, "a wheelhorse of tn, party, conservative without any tnge of radi calism, and withal who makes and keep friends both in and out of his party If the Re publican Party is victorious next November h,

THE OLD RED HERRING.

Judge Wickershams plea that the appoint ment of local attorneys to judiciary positions in Alaska will lead to greater degree of home rule and eventual Statehood is so ridiculous that it is almost superfuous to pass comment upon it. Again does he seek to confuse administrative personnel with the actual right of the people to pass their own laws, to have jurisdiction over their own resources and utilize them to the best interest of themselves. It makes very little diff fernce who shall enforce the laws, but it does make a great deal who makes them The en- forcer of law is the peoples servant, but the lawmakers actually rule in the name of the peo- pie whom they represent.
 To attempt to argue that the appointment of Alaskans to Federal positions in the Terri tory is a step toward home rule is to convict the so arguing of of two things, either insincerity ignorance Truly it is desirable that such appointments be local for many req sons. But that it will be step toward self government is not of them And there is no one more thoroughly aware of this fact than Judge Wickersham himself

More or Less True


 We never yet have seen flap per with shingled hair who gave us the impression she'd had her hair cut that way so she could get down that much quicker in the morning to help mother get breakfast.
 When friend wife tells friend husband that is enough from him she never is referring to money.
 Mother used to spend just as much time as daughter now does in front of a mirror, but it was a hat instead of a complexion she was trying to get on properly.
 Next to feeling overdressed the hardest thing for flapper to do must be to look innocent.
 If mother Is the best bridge player in town and father the best poker player son may hold the record for the best attend ance at Sunday school, but the chances are every roadhouse keer- CT and not single preacher knows him.
 A man can't see what a girl wants with a little mirror that only enables her to look at her nose and lips.
 When some women start out their front doors 1t means a num- Der of regulations will have black eyes before they go in them again.
 Sometimes when a man and wife drop in to call it makes you thankful that when the call is over you're not the one who puts on his hat and trots along to lis ten to that the rest of the night.
 If they'd ever let father get his nose off the grindstone and be himself the. family probably would be surprised to find what a good old scout he is.
 About all that can be said of some flappers' clothes is that a little is at least better than no- | thing.

Idlers? Not Now.
tDaily Olympian.


 There used to be proverb in America to the effect that it took family only three generations to go from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves That meant that when man made fortune his son would, in all probability, mismanage it so badly that the next generation would lose it altogether
 That proverb to be out of date now when you stop to think about it. Rich mems sons, with few exceptions are no longer dlers They going to work
 It's easy to cite examples. There is Edsel Ford, for instance making ready to fill his lathers shoes; there is John D. Rockefeller Jr.; there is Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr who is as harding working any mechanics son; there IS young Alexis DuPont, who has enlisted as a private in the aviation corps to learn flying. there are the grandsons of Jim Hill working in railway shops to prepare for the job of run ming the family railroads.
 The list could be extended indefinitely It makes encouraging reading. America has no place for drones; and the rich mans son is beginning to realize it.

PO|NCARE PLANS SIMILAR POLICY
Re and Briand Feel They Have
 Confidence of Nation

Paris, May 4 UP)-Premier Poincare and Foreign Minister Briand. with a vote of confidence from the country in the recent par liamentary election. intend to pursue the same policies that have resulted in the Locarno treaties and the re- mobilization of French finances.
 Poincare will face the chamber of deputies June l with the cabinet he has now, except for Minister Of La Dor Andre Fallieres, who lost his seat in the chamber.
 Poincare is ready to pay the Unit cd States s11.250. 000 and Great Brit ain $40, ,000.o00 on account of the 1aoS-19a9 instalments Of the pro- yisional war debt agreements.
 The questions Of a general debt settlement and a final reparations settlement still are hanging fire. Their disposition depends largely on the forthcoming German parliament tary elections. These will show how far Foreign Minister Stresemann and the German government generally
 
 France in return for the anticipated evacuation of the Rhineland.
 Premier Poincare as yet has made no decisive statement regarding evacuation. But Foreign Minister Briand during the French German conversations at Thoiry asked that Germany should make a proposal. No such proposal has been made. and in the French view it is Ger many's move.
 Poincare regards the Rhineland as connected closely with repara- tions and French aecurity against attack. He is not willing to aban- don the trump card of occupation unless assured that he will lose nothing in doing 50. If the Ger man elections favor Stresemann's policy of French-German friendship, 1t Is not unlikely that next autumn will see the inauguration of vitally important negotiations.
