NEW YORK. Mar. 13.-I was very

Timely Views
AN ANTS VIEW OF PROHIBITION
BY WILLIAM II. STATION

Chairman of the Association Against Prohibition
Amendment.
william H. Stayton Of Baltimore, Mr., was born
in Smyrna. Delaware, in 1851. He was graduated
from the U. S. naval academy, in 1881. Stayton
served in the U. s. navy for several years, later
r~esigning to become admiralty lawyer and gradu-
ally shifting into management Of steamship COM
panies. He is considered a national authority on
ocean transportation. Stayton is a member of the
society of naval and architects and marine engi-
neers, and founder and president Of the association
against the prohibition amendment).
Our losses under prohibition have been great. We
have lost some Of the fundamentals az our government;
we have lost respect for government officers, possibly
because some Of them no longer deserve our respect.
We have lost respect for our government itself; we
wink and let our politicians get away with evasive
statements.
Deaths from alcoholism are twice IS many as be-
fore prohibition, and finally we have lost q great deal
Of money without having obtained the benefits prohi-
bition was supposed to bring. The return Of 2 Sd per
cent beer would bring in such a revenue in taxes that
corporation and individual taxes, now so burdensome,
would be wiped out.
The eighteenth amendment insults the people Of a
democracy by showing a lack of faith in them to gov
era themselves. Everything possible has been done to
tie our hands and those Of our children. They will
have no chance to l~egislate on this question. The
Declaration Of Independence has been largely scrspped.
We no longer have the liberty TO lead normal lives, but
are getting back to the ~long-gone days when the VOLTS
whim was the law Of the pack.
As for the Volstead act, that Is very much like a
Methodist ecnversion-very sudden and emotional. We
IN the east are being ruled BY people Of decidedly Meth
odist culture. It will not last.

OzARKS HIDE FATE
Of MISSING FLYER
20 Planes Cruise Over Hills,
Seeking Glue to Lost
Mail Pilot.

ST. LOUIS, June 3o.-The rugged
Ozarks clung tenaciously to the secret
OF the fate of Leslie H, Smith. Air Mail
pilot missing since Thursday night, as
90 Army and civilian planes and the
Army airship C-52 continued to scour
the hills late today for clue concern
ing his welfare.
From Hunter, Mo, 100 miles South
west of here, came the report that a
plane was heard passing over the town
at $40 o'clock on the night that Smith
set out for st. Louis from Little Rock
with news photographs Of the Demo-
cratic convention at Houston.
E D. Robinson of Piedmont. Mo-.
stated that he had seen lightning strike
an object in the air, possibly an air
plane, about five miles Northwest of
WilliamSville, Mo, and 90 miles from
Hunter. on the same night.
1t is feared that the storm which
swept this heavily timbered and sparsely
populated country may have proved
fatal TO the pilot, who has a record of
eight months flying the mail without
being turned back because of bad
weather Fellow pilots of Smith who
assisted In the search recognized him
as one of the best bad weather" flyers
In the country
Frank Robertson president of the
Robertson Aircraft Co, whose Dehavi-
land plane the flyer was plotting, stated
late today that there was little likeli-
hood Smith would be found alive. Ex-
perts regard 1t as improbable that
Smith could have found landing place
at night in the storm large enough TO
bring the heavy plane safely to the
ground without crashing.

STAFF Correspondent of The Star

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Brule

that he has no intention of taking ar
active part In the coming campaign
there Is every indication that there will
be cooperation between the Summer
White House and those who are to be

The impression here is that Mr. Cool
idge will make one or two speeches that

before he leaves this section of the

where during the campaign is thought
doubtful by those who know his state
OF mind at the present. This, however
Is likely TO be determined during his
conference with DR.. Hubert Work. the
new chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, who will arrive here
Monday to present his resignation as
Secretary of the Interior.
With the battle lines for the forth
coming political campaign now drawn
and the opposing forces entering seri-
ously upon their tasks OF electing their
respective candidates, 1t is expected
that there will be more or less activity
at the Summer White House. Most i'm
portant, of course, will be the visit OF
Secretary Hoover who has notified the
President that he will stop here to ten
