DORIS Bite Proves Gunner

Ownership of a dog was proved
in a police court in Glasgow, Scot
land, recently, when the animal bit
one man and refused to leave an
other. The Yorkshire terrier had
been advertised for sale, and the
claimant promptly had the adver-
tiser arrested. When in court he
tried to prove his claim by broken
tooth he said the dog had; the dog
bit him and refused to leave the
other man, who was awarded the
pet. -.

long public career has been a friend Of

forcement of the national prohibition law.
He particularly opposed Governor Smiths
plan of state option to determine the al

Eighteenth Amendment is still a part OF
the Constitution. Senator Curtis state
ment on law enforcement and prohibition
follows.
To determine the extent to which legts-
lation is beneficial and beyond which 1t is
hurtful, is the province of craftsmanship.
Good laws, that is, good craftsmanship,
are the result Of the application of COM
mon sense and sound Judgment to i'm
mutable principles. While people may
differ as to the wisdom of the enactment
of particular piece of legislation, or as
to the amending of the constitution in re-
gard thereto, it is impossible to ignore the
constitution and unthinkable to eVade it
by particular administrative policy

cured only through popular respect for
the laws of our country while they remain
SO, regardless of personal opinion. The
Republican party pledges itself to the
faithful enforcement and vigorous exc
cution of the Eighteenth Amendment to
the constitution. My own record among
you as prosecuting attorney for Shawnee
County shows clearly that believe in and
practice enforcement of the law.
The prohibition amendment ultimately
was adopted by all of the states except
Connecticut and Rhode Island-not mere
ly by the required three-fourths of the
states, but by all except two Through
this voluntary action which binds all the
states delegated to the federal govern
ment their full original power and reSpon-
Sibility on the liquor prohibition question.
The federal government accepted the
power and responsibility so delegated,
thereby binding itself, and, accordingly,
Congress passed the Volstead act.
For the federal government now to
adopt, or even to propose or to favor a
policy which will result in allowing each
state to determine for itself the alcoholic
content of beverages to be manufactured,
sold and transported throughout the
country, would be a direct and indefen-
sible attempt on its part to evade or to
repudiate the responsibility so delegated
and assumed, and an endeavor to redele-
gate the responsibility of the several
states from whence it came, without any
justification for such action.
I believe in meeting an issue squarely,
therefore I state that not only am I
heartily in favor of faithfully enforcing all
our laws, but further am opposed to the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment or Of
the Volstead act.

TESTIMONY OF AN EXPERT

The editor is in receipt OF letter from
DR.. A. Frank Ziegenfus, widely known
physician who has practiced his profess
sion in Philadelphia for nearly fifty years
and Who as the result of his experience
and observation, is an enthusiastic de-
fender Of the Eighteenth Amendment.
After describing somewhat the conditions
as he saw them in the old saloon days
and comparing them with the improved
conditions which he has found in recent
years he continues: ct cannot understand
how a man of large influence and at the
head of large industrial establishments
can advocate modification of our pres
ent law when they must surely know that
the law is for the good of all the people.
Modification would be followed by the re-
turn of the saloon 1t would be sorry
plight to have to drive on the public
highway if there we're no restriction Of
the liquor traffic such as we have today.
Railroads want sober engineers and it Is
just as important to have sober drivers
of the automobile on our congested high
ways"

JIM REED IS PEEVED
Hits Anti-Saloon League Because Il
Defeated His Wet Candidate

Senator James Reed, of Missouri, Is
peeved at the Anti-Saloon League. This
is not news, for Senator Reed is general
ly in hostile attitude of mind toward
the League, but he has new cause for
antagoniSm or at least he thinks he has,
because Of the defeat of his candidate for
United States Senator, one James A. Col~
let Collet, being wet enough to satisfy
Reed. was not dry enough to satisfy the
dry Democrats of the state Reed had
fondly hoped to make Collet his success
sor Naturally the Anti-Saloon League
opposed Collet and supported the sue
cessful candidate, Charles M. Hay, who
has long been a dry leader in Missouri.
Now Reed thinks he has discovered that
the Anti-Saloon League is out to wreck
the Democratic party. Of course the
Anti-Saloon League did not enter into
partisan politics in that state. 1t merely
advised dry Democrats to support the
dry Democratic candidate.
In his TRADE against the Anti-Saloon
League Senator Reed is quoted by the
Associated Press dispatch as saying:
Even now the Anti-Saloon League is
covertly charging the election of Gov
ernor Smith means the reopening of the
saloon and the flooding of the country
with unrestricted liquor. They know
this charge to be untrue. They know no
considerable body of men propose the
return of the saloon, and that Governor
Smiths attitude is that better way to
true temperance can be found than the
plan of the Volstead act"
If Governor Smith will not attempt to
bring back the liquor traffic if ne is
elected he is certainly fooling lot of the
vets. He is fooling even his campaign
manager, that former Republican, John
j. Raskob, who declared that he allied
himself with Smith because he saw a
chance "to get rid of this damnable pro-
hibition" When these vets begin to
talk true temperance" drys are sus-
picious They long ago learned what
wet means by true temperance"

zenith Amendment in operation to demon
strate to Governor Smith that the saloon
as operated in his Assembly days is a bad
institution.
OF course this proposal to amend the
Eighteenth Amendment Is nothing more
than a dramatic gesture, for it is not at
all likely that he could succeed in per-
suading two-thirds of both branches OF
CONGRESS and ee-fourths of the state
Legislatures practically to repeal the
Eighteenth Amendment, but it does show
what an earnest friend the liquor traffic
has in Alfred E. Smith. No doubt the ges-
ture will fool some vets.
FAVORS GOVERNMENT CONTROL
Governor Smith would substitute for the
saloon method of distributing liquor the
so-called government control plan, which
is in reality liquor control of the govern
ment as in effect in Canada. In his &C
ceptance speech he decries the prohibition
law under which the youth Of our nation
are using liquor 'in a way which was I'M
known before prohibition And yet he
proposes a scheme whereby the liquor
would be brought into the homes, for he
insists that no liquor is to be drunk on the
premises where sold. Young men and
young women throughout the nation who
will cast their first votes in the next cleo
N1AAA@~AAS
statement that young people "are now us
ing liquor in a way which was unknown
before prohibition
That portion of Governor Smiths ac-
ceptance address with prohibition and its
enforcement is printed IN full elsewhere in
this paper.
THE ISSUE is CLEAR
There Is no longer room for doubt. The
Issue is clear cut. Governor Smiths cleo
ton would be interpreted to be mandate
from the people to junk the prohibition
policy 1t would be small comfort that
Governor Smith as President would be I'M
able to carry out his purpose to repeal the
Eighteenth Amendment, or even if he
would fail to persuade Congress to modify
the Volstead law. His election in itself
would be wet triumph and would be in
terpreted as such and would encourage
bootleggers and law violators u redouble
their efforts.
TO MAKE THE LAW A JOKE
The drys of this nation must rally to
meet the challenge of Alfred E. Smith and
his hackers. His victory at the polls No
vember 6 would set back prohibition prog
ress fifty years.
