was made plain in New York at least, that it is the duty of State police forces to render aid to the Federal authorities in enforcing this statute just it is their duty to aid in enforcing any Federal law
 In fact if refusal to enforce a law is nu1i- fcaton then nullifeation is and has been an American practice from the beginning There are Sunday laws in most of the States laws against wearing male attire, and many other regulatiye statutes that no one makes the slightest effort to enforce So far as the principle is concerned there is just as strong reason why the police should not raid the women's and mixed golf courses in almost any city almost any Sunday there could pos sibly be for raidng Broadway night club
 As Dr. Butler emphasizes notification is the usual American way of getting rid of law that is obnoxious to large part of the people That is the way the Southern States have disposed of the colored enfranchsement Constitutional provisions and Congressional laws enacted under them.
 This is theory advanced by Dr. But Ter pr. Hadley, President Emeritus of Yale has written the subject in similar vein as have many other almost good authorities Ii is but the restatement of a fact of history and of prevailing conditions.

SOMETHING ABOUT NULLIFICATION.

Dr Nicholas Murray Butler draws a distnc- tion between nulliheation as that word has meaning in American history and the so-called nullhcation of the Prohibition Amendment through failure to enforce it. Modification in American history from the action of South Carolina in deliberately setting State legislative action against Federal laws-in repeating tariff law as far it applied to that State Presi- dent Jackson squelehed the proposal by prompt preparations for military action. If State should pass a law declaring that Prohibition should not apply to the State enacting the law, it would be nulliheaton.
 But as Dr. Butler says, the process and action which it is fashionable to call null lifcation the usual ways by which any free people, and particularly the American people, have got rid of laws that they did not like Usually they just refused to enforce the laws. Law. It was made so difficult to enforce it that it became dead letter. In fact as Dr. Butler says, the Republican Party was founded upon opposition to enforcing the Fugitive Slave Law which the Supreme Court decided was a Con stitutional law designed to make effective Con- stitutional provisions, just the Volsead Act is designed to make effective the Eighteenth Amendment. The circumstances of nuifying the Fugitive Slave Law. in truth, were much nearer South Carolina nulifeation than anything that has occurred in connection with the Vol stead Act, for eight Northern States actuall, passed laws making it crime to aid the Fedora Government in enforcing that Constitutional law The most that has been done in connection witt Prohibition has been to refuse to enact tn, volstead Law to make it also a Stat statute There has been nothing done to inter fere with Federal efforts to enforce it, and i

PROHIBITION VERY MUCH AN ISSUE.

In spite of the efforts of dry Democratic politicians in the South and wet Republican politicians in the North to prove otherwise Pro hbition is so much political issue this year that Gov Smith will receive the votes of hun dreds of thousands if not millions, of wet Re- publicans and Mir. Hoover will receive the votes of many dry Democrats. It is much issue that if it not for the admitted fact that normally there many more Republicans than Democrats in enough States to control the Elec- toral College there would not be a question but that Gov. Smith would be overwhelmingly elected
 If Gov. Smith is defeated it will not be be- cause of his being opposed to Prohibition but be- cause the majority of the people will refuse to abandon the Republican Party and what they regard as it's promise of conservative and pros porous government for what they regard as the uncertain economic policies of the Democratic Party. If MT, Hoover had taken the position that Gov. Smith has taken on Prohibition and Gov Smith had taken the position that MT. Hoover has taken the majority for Hoover would be greater than that for Harding The eff forts being put forth by the politicians of the big Eastern States to prove that the Republican Party is just wet as the Democratic Party is enlightening as to public sentiment and Pro- hibition.

PRETTY TRIBUTE TO JUNEAU.

That was a very fine tribute to Juneau the interesting illustrated article on the Capit to Capital yacht by Maurice P. Anders that appeared in the last Pacific Motor Boat which it said:
 While the wise heads fuddled with handicaps, the yachtsmen enjoyed the spontaneous welcome of Juneau, a well come such as only an enthusiastic, friendly population could extend. From the Governor down, every citizen had but the object of finding out what the visitors wanted and seeing that they got it and got it quick. That was Juneau
 Daylight lasted until nearly mid night only to streak the sky again two hours later. Few managed to get to bed until the last traces of night had disappeared There were trips of in- speetion to mines, automobile rides to Mendenhall Glacier and on July 3rd a cruise up Taku Inlet to the very foot of great towering Taku Glacier itself After the cruise came banquet at which all the yachtsmen well what must have been most of Juneau's popu- lation.
 The article occupied the first sixteen pag in the Motor Boat and contained two score illu trations, including a good full page picture Juneau.

Gas Is Used to Raise Oil
 When Usual PumpS Fail

Houston, Texas, Aug. 22 Rl-Tire industry of lavish "black gold" pe- troleum. is scoring notch for sci entific economy in. Oklahoma and California experiments. This is by the method of using gas to raise oil which cannot be pumped.
 If. for example. the oil will rise to within only 1000 feet of the sur face. gas is piped by compressor down into the oil column. The gas rises up to the surface again through the oil pipe and Of it's own buoyancy. Along with the gas comes the oil. Both go into a re- cedving tank. from the bottom of which the oil drains. while the gas rises to the top of the tank. This gas is not lost. but Is trapped and sent down into the oil column again to bring up more oil. The pipe car rying down the gas is considerably smaller than that up wAich the col- umn of oil and gas mixed rises
 Gas-lift experimentors believe that oil that cannot be lifted by any other method Is obtainable by gas.

THE LADDER MAY
 BE REAL FAILURE
Millionaire BaCker Is Almost
 Ready to Admit It

New York, Aug. ? (uP-Edgar B, Davis, the Texas oil millionaire Who once boasted that he knew no failure. had begun to wonder today whether his first failure had not ar rived.
 Two years and a half ago Davis provided backing for "The Ladder" It became a Broadway joke. For months he presented it as a free show. Then he opened the play un- der Broadway prices. One night the intake was s1l. A weeks aver age was about S250-as compared with s5,oo0 or more in expenses.
 In the two years and half Davis spent sI,5oo,oo0 in trying to put the show over
 But from Warsaw. Poland, today he sent paid advertisements to the newspapers stating:
 If the play does not give eyi- dence of being self sustaining by about November first it will be withdrawn
 In the advertisement Davis ex- plained his reason for backing the play:
 "We see life about us full of sur- fering, seeming inequalities and ln- justices. When we accept the state ments of scientists that the universe has been millions of years in the making it seems to me that this brief span of three score years and ten cannot be Gods best for the world, but rather our sufferings, griefs and disappointments are but the neces- sary precedents to our coming into harmony with great plan of life, In which We achieve our hearts desires or something better.
 ''It was faith fin this ultimate uni versal success that induced me to put on tie ladder. It embodied no creed; it promoted no cult. The idea of rcincarnation was the motif used to indicate the steps of progress to- ward this ultimate goal"
 He ended his statement with the somber thought that even though the play was as fundamental in philosophy as those of the ancient Greeks, "a play like any other business, should pay its own way.''
