The president Is supposed TO feel
that prohibition has been an econ-
omic benefit and has definitely in
creased the efficiency Of the industry.
On the other hand. he admits that 1t
has had serious effect OF the morale
of government and the laxity of pro-
hibition enforcement probably strikes
him as hideous. II prohibition would
enforce itself Hoover would probably
be pleased.
But he must decide whether pres
ent conditions. which are still the
major national scandal, are bound to
continue and II SO whether prollib-
ition and its present laws are worth
the price. There is no evidence that
he has come to any decision at all
about the ultimate success of the
experiment"
His determination to do his very
best to enforce the law Is something
else again. Whether he has any
doubts about success or not. he has
given ample indication Of his inten-
ton to see what can be done-and
do It. Perhaps there is no more sig
nificant fact than that he has failed
! to utter the familiar roar that he
would soon have the bootleggers OH

He still has to face the facts that
many citizens want to drink, that
bribes come high and that poorly
paid cops and prohibition agents are
frail. And he is quite cognizant of
those facts.
The writer of this story does not
seek to hint that it is based OH his
own seAret conversations with Hoover
or that it represents anything more
than careful observation and inquiry.
But 1t may interest anyone who has

washington. April 5.--Probably one
of the rarest specimens outside the
National Museum is the person who
has no strong prejudiccs about pro-
hibition.
It continues to appear that Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover Is one Of those
Not only is he neither fanatically dry
nor fanatically wet, but he also seems
to be rather sour on both sets OF cx-

There are still those who insist that
Hoover Is at heart wet" II he is

Washington who would hesitate to
place him, from the standpoint of his
personal viewpoint, In either camp.
The main reason for the uncer-
tainty Is that persons who consider
themselves CLOSE to Hoover" have
been telling different stories for some
time. The drys profess positive as
surance that he leans entirely their

II there Is any reconciliation of

attitude toward prohibition 1t must
boil down to some such logical sur
mise as this:
The president himself doesn't take

with prohibition rs 1t affects Amer
ica's government and economic eff
cheney and as 1t presents q challenge
to his oath to uphold the constitution.
Naturally he must also consider pro-
hibition from the standpoint of a
politician. but It does not appear that
Hoover as president Is letting that
consideration predominant.
He will not condone violations Of
the law nor will he condone viola
tions Of the spirit Of the law by sub
ordinate officials. A federal official

Boxing Bill Passes House;
Opponents Question Vote

exclusive of any Federal taxes paid
thereon, would go to the State.
Betting, under the provisions OF
the bill, is strictly forbidden, with
drastic penalties for conviction.
When the measure was first
brought up for a vote in the House
and was defeated, one of the Repre-
sentatives voting against the bill
then reconsidered his action, and
the bill was revived. 1t was carried
along until put up for vote again
last Friday, being brought up for re-
consideration.
A boxing bill was presented at the
previous session of the legislature,
but was defeated following a close
vote. Last time, the measure was
passed by the House, but when
brought out before the Senate, was
voted down by a close margin.
Boxing was conducted throughout
the State about year ago, the var
ious clubs proceeding without inter-
ference from the Attorney Generals
office. When the 40 ct 8 started
bouts in the Auditorium in Whining
ton, complaints were made by re-
form organizations, and the police,
acting on orders from the Attorney
Generals Office, stopped the boxing.
DR.. Roger M. Gregory was placed
under arrest as the representative of
the 40 ct 8, and test case was con-
Quoted. The courts ultimately de-
cided that boxing was illegal, and
all bouts in the State were halted.
American Legion posts and vari-
Gus organizations endorsed the
Green bill, while churches and re-
form bodies went on record as op-
posing the measure.
