SOPPING WET SENATOR HAS TO
CAST DRY VOTE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Plenty
Of senators vote dry whose per-
sonal sympathies are very wet.
However, believe me, they keep
quito as mice about their sympa-
thies. All except one
Senator Coleman Livingston
Blease's personal sympathies are
sopping wet. South Carolina. his
state, requires him to vote dry. He
does il, but it nearly kills him, and
he keeps no q~uieter about il than a
steam calliope.
Whenever a wet-and-dry question
comes up in the senate, Cole Blease
makes a speech, explaining his vote.
II will be a dry vote, he states.
The explanation is that it has to
be, or Collie could not continue to
be a senator-which is candid, but
not so bad. if the South Carolina
solon did not always take occasions
to tell what he thinks about prohibit
ton. too.
What he thinks about il is some
thing fierce.
"Asinine," Outrageous" "idiotic"
are among his mildest adjectives.
Senator Blease has a big vocabulary
and he uses every bit Of it on this
subject. His last available hard
word exhausted, he votes-dry.
Even though he does vote dry. il
Is n senate marvel that he has the
nerve to say the things he says.
Regardless of the fact he knuckles
under to the inevitable, how can he
abuse. so lavishly. the pet political
principle OF a practically bone-dry
section of the country-without
making two-thirds of its voters
hopping mad.
A few nights ago the truth came
QUIT does make the dry voters

CAN We PUT A CANADIAN BORDER SOUTH OF US.
Dallas >News).
The Santiago treaty. negotiated in 1928, has at last
come into effect with the signatures Of all Latin-Amer-
lean countries and the United States subscribed. Un-
der the terms of the agreement. mobilization of troops
on the border of any country within less than two
years after the beginning of any dispute is barred. II
is contemplated that disputes shall first be subjected
TO diplomatic adjustment, then to arbitration if posi-
BILE, and finally, if not settled otherwise to investiga.
tion by a committee and report. Until this report IS
filed, or until the two years are up, military action may
not be relied upon.
1t is the Cooling off" idea. of course. An argu-
ment two years ago somehow seems less a matter to 20
to war about. Particularly is that true where il has
been investigated by nonpartisan inquiry. But the
United States is going to have more occasion, perhaps.
TO look to this experiment and more reason to hope
for its success than almost any other country except
Mexico.
If we can make the Rio Grande as peaceful a river
as the st. Lawrence it will be a happy contamination
indeed. A Canadian border to the south Of us is all
that any lover Of international friendship could ask.
The Mexican people are not evilly minded. They are
not determined to wrong us. They have their rest
less and lawless elements, to be sure. And so have we.
II we take two years TO understand them before we
undertake to force them to our way Of thinking. we are
apt TO find that we do understand them, and that they
understand US and that there is no need Of force after
all. In any case it Is we'll worth trying in a spirit Of
give and take. As Mexico advances in industry and
education we are apt to find her friendship is one Of
the outstanding assets Of our foreign trade. II is very
important already.
