TEST HEADLIGHTS
ADVICE TO DRIVERS
H. w. Fathers Garage Named
AS Official Adjusting Sta
ton in this Community.

Nearly hundred garages scattered
over the state have been designated
as official auto lamp adjusting sta
tions by the Minnesota Highway De-
partment, under a section of the
traffic law passed by the last Legis-
lature. All sections of the state now
have these stations, although there
are many counties not yet represent
ed. H. w. Fathers Garage of Red
wood Falls has been recently licens-
ed for testing.
Commissioner Babcock emphasizes
that while it is not compulsory to have
lights tested at an official station, it
is a good safeguard to do so. Cor
rectly adjusted lights, by giving bet.
ter illumination on the road, make
night driving safer and more pleas
ant. Furthermore it is a courtesy
which is owed to the fellow motorists
1t may also save the trouble of ap-
pearing in police court, for even if
the lights were o. K. once upon a
time, a bump on the tenders while
parking may have spoiled the adjust
ment, and police in some communi,
ties are active in the campaign
against glaring lights.
If there is no station close by
headlights may be tested by stopping
on level road some night when there
is a slight fog. If any part of the
main beam of light points upward
your lights need adjusting. Many un-
licensed garages can make tests ano
adjustments, but only licensed STA
tions can issue the certificate which
is required in a defense against g
charge of driving with glaring lights

SIX-YEAR.OLD CHILD
SAVES SISTER, AGE 2

The presence OF mind of six-year-
old lola Wessman, daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. H. C. Wessman, saved her
two-year-old sister from terrible
death last Tuesday morning, says the
Renville County Journal at Olivia.
While the mother was absent from the
room the two-year-old child managed
to pry open the door on the range
with a celluloid comb. The comb
caught fire and from it the blaze
was communicated to the child's
dress. AS the child's dress flashed
into a blaze, lola noticed it, sliced
a pail of water and with remarkable
presence of mind dashed it over her
little sister and put out the fire. The
fire had scorched the child's abdomen
and her arms, but fortunately she was
not seriously injured.

AIR MAIL WEEK IN
OBSERVATION NOW

are flying every day total distance
of 22,11O miles and carrying on an
average of $500 pounds of mail daily.
Several thousand miles will be added
when the other routes are placed in
operation, so that the end of the year
will find pilots flying with the mail
close to 10000 miles every day of
the year.
The progress of the air mail SER
vice during the 10 years of it's exist
ence is a matter of deep qualification
to the entire Postal Service and it is
felt that no greater service can be
performed than in familiarizing the
public with the economy, the speed
and the efficiency of this new meth
cd of mail transportation.
The public is to be advised, howev-
er, that during Air Mail Week there
will be NO special cancellations auth
orized. This decision was made re-
gretfully in view of the past support
given by philatelists to air lines, but
because of the attendant expenses and
the administrative work necessary for
63 separate cancellation stamps, it is
out of the question. The primary
function of the air service is speed.
S~acial cancellations at SO cities would
defeat that function.
Air-mail postage is 10 cents for
each half ounce or fraction thereof,
from point of origin to destination.

dicted that 1.-The dry forces will meet the

this Prohibition question: that he would,
If elected President, include such plea in
his message to Congress?
1T DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Smiths friends are now sounding the
cry that it doesn't make any difference
whether a president is wet or dry. Smith
doesn't believe this. People who stop and
think do not believe it. Smith says it is
the duty of the chosen leader to point the
way. Everyone knows the way Smith will
point He expressed this admirably as
quoted in the New York Times of March
o, 1923. The Governor had been talking
to reporters about beer bill introduced
into Congress by New Jersey Senator.
The Governor said at that time:
WOULD BE GLAD TO GO DOWN
AND HELP HIM PUT OVER HIS
BILL IF THAT WILL GET US
SOMEWHERE WHERE WE CAN
PUT A FOOT ON THE RAIL AGAIN
AND BLOW OFF THE FROTH.
If he doesn't mean that he longs for the
return of the saloon, despite his protesta-
tionS that the saloon must never come
back, and is "defunct institution what
does he mean? Does it mean he will es-
tablish the bar rail in the homes? The
brass rail and the saloon are synonymous.
THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT
Yes, the chosen leader points the way,
but it is not the only power a president
of the United States would have to over
throw our Prohibition policy. It is likely
there will be within the next four years
vacancies on the Supreme Court bench
The President fills these vacancies by ap-
pointment. Mr.. Stanton, of the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amendment,
a few months ago revealed one inpelling
reason why the vets are SO anxious to in
toll IYnc iy.t 10 70
At the sane time he offered a gratuitous
insult to the Supreme Court of the United
States. He said:
ut is not necessary to secure ratifica-
ton of three-fourths of the states to
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in
order to get rid of the Prohibition law.
All that is needed j. che man, more lib
eral judge, on the Supreme Court Bench"
The Supreme Court of the United States
has never sacrificed justice on an altar Of
prejudice It has never been guilty of
serving any class or faction and this was
the basest insult. However, it reveals the
purpose in the minds of these wet leaders
APPOINTS HEADS OF ENFORCEMENT
DEPARTMENT
Not only that, the President of the
United States appoints the officials who
are entrusted with the enforcement of the
Prohibition law. The Secretary of the
Treasury, member of the Presidents
cabinet, is the head Of the enforcement
unit. He appoints the Attorney General
who is charged with the prosecution of
dry law violations; he appoints Federal
Judges and District Attorneys; he has the
power Of veto and to override a veto re-
quireS a two-thirds vote Of Congress-.
Imagine the incalculable harm the Pres
ident's veto could do to an adequate ap
the expense of enforcement. Tt makes all
the difference in the world whether a man
is in the White House who is in sympathy

man from New York, had been rebuked by
Smiths campaign manager, Van Nance,
for giving the press the following state
ment:
Governor Smith has stood and al
ways will stand for liberty and states
rights. He is opposed to Prohibition
. he is for Temperance. Gov
ernor Smith believes that if any state
desires a certain alcoholic content of
beverage that state has the right to
determine that content. If the state
desires to be dry, then it is the right
of the state to be dry"
Van Nance was greatly disturbed over
this statement, fearing the wrath of the
dry element in the party. Van Nance ex-
claimed to Mack
Great Heavens, you are the National
committeeman from New York and the
first Democratic leader down here from
New York and people will think you are
speaking for the Governor"
Mack then explained he was not speak
ing for the Governor but for himself only
URGES STATE LOCAL OPTION
However, it developed within a few
hours that he was speaking for the Gov
ernor-at least he was speaking the Gov
ernor's views, for when Smith was inter-
viewed by newspaper men with reference
to this statement and asked if he had
changed his views on Prohibition, he I'M
hesitatingly and emphatically declared II
have not!o and added that his attitude on
the subject was clearly defined on the eve
of the Madison Square Garden Conven-
ton in 1924 Governor Smith at that
time said:
al maintain that the present hippo
critical attitude tolUard the DhoLe
question OF Prohibition mould be
greatly RELAXED By ha0i1g Congress fr

anon science and sound reasoning,
thereafter Leaving every state to enact

tent. so that the state that desires
strict Prohibition may haze 1t, and the
state that desires light loineS and beer
tOithin the alcoholic content pre-
Scribed by Congress may also haze
D1lat it desires.
HIS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Does anyone in IT'S rig:lc mind imagine
that if Governor Smith is made President
of the United States he will hesitate for
one moment to work for the modification
of the Volstead law along lines indicated
in this statement whic hhe says he still
stands for, namely, a change of definition
of what constitutes intoxicating liquor and
the right of each state to decide itself
whether it will abide by the Eighteenth
Amendment? Isn't it altogether reason
able to assume that in the light of the mes
sage which he sent to the Convention,
quoted above, in which he says it is the
duty of the chosen leader to point the

cratic Convention has insulted the intelli-
gence of the dry Democrats of the United
States.
OPPOSED BY DRY DEMOCRATS
Smiths nomination was bitterly opposed
by the dry element of his party, particu-
larry articulate in the South. The south
ern drys had prepared monster petition.
said to carry 900 names, protesting
against the nomination of a wet candi-
date.
The dry Democratic women were es-
pecially active. Mrs. Glenn L. Shaver,
wife of the chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, is quoted in an As
ISOLATED Press dispatch as saying at Hous-
ton before the nomination of Smith was
made that every Democrat and Republic
can voter knows there is no such thing as
harmony in the Democratic party" and
she added, there never can be harmony
80 long as certain wet elements in the
party clamor for supremacy, though SO
greatly in the minority"
Addressing a meeting of the National
Womans Committee for Law Enforce
ment at the First Baptist Church. South,
in Houston, Mrs. Shaver said the battle lis
to be fight to the finish between the wet
violators and nullifiers on the one hand,
and dry patriotic upholders of the Con-
stitutiOn on the other"
SAYS DRY DEMOCRATS WILL NOT
SUPPORT SMITH
That fight has been lost in the conven-
ton, but undoubtedly the women will
carry it to the polls next November.
Without mentioning any names, Mrs.
Shaver commended that "at Houston there
can be no harmony if wet nullifier is
nominated" for it means just one thing
a bitter fight complete lack of harmony
and a triumphant victory for the Repub-
hcan ticket, and millions of dry Demo-
Gratis who decide to do all in their power
to help the Republicans win.
what sort of president do we want in
the White House, anyway, honest men and
women of America? Do we want a wet
or a fifty-f1fty, or an evader of the Con-
stitution, saloon man. or an insincere
so-called law enforcement man, who
knows when he promises to enforce the
Eighteenth Amendment he does not mean
it but is pledging himself to lie
by no means! We want and are de-
termined to have a man for President
whose very name will be a guarantee that
the Eighteenth Amendment will be rigidly
nforced. The Democratic party
has, indeed, come to the parting of the
ways; perhaps some time a new party, a

CALL OF DRY DEMOCRATS
Bishop James Cannon, Jr, of the M E.
Church. South, and DR.. Arthur j. Barton,
Baptist dry leader of the South, are re-
ported in the press of June 30th as having
called, on their own initiative, Prohibition
representatives to meet at Asheville,
North Carolina, July 18th, to Organize at
once for the election of dry Democratic,
Senatorial Congressional and state nomi-
nees for public offices end for The defeat
of the wet Tammany candidate for Presi-
dent Governor Smith"
Bishop Cannon and DR.. Barton are
quoted as saying that in their opinion tie
"only hope of preserving the ideals and
the unity of Southern Democracy" lay in
such action, and for that reason they had
called the meeting between July IL and 1a
to consider the question.
