various ti-prohibition organiza-
lions realize the force of these
things, of course. But they realize
also that even though the eight
eenth amendment probably is i'm
bedded permanently in our federal
Constitution, it can be ignored and
repealed by lack of enforcement If
the right people" can be put in
the right places. The principal one
Of those places is the White House.
What these prohibition lead
ers do not realize fully is the fact
the majority Of the people of the
country still are against legalizing
the liquor traffic.
I often am asked, Don't you
really think that prohibition is on
its last legs, that the vets are gain
ing, and that most people are be-
ginning to see prohibition can not
be enforced?"
1t would be folly to deny that
the "wets" have made considerable
gain in the past few years. In the
first place, they have won some mil
lions of people to the views that
prohibition can't be enforced. II
they can continue winning addl-
tional numbers to that view, then
eventually they will be able to put
into Office men who will let the law
enforce itself-if it can.
In a practical way, they have
made a great gain in securing the
repeal of state enforcement laws in
New York, Montana, Nevada and
Wisconsin, throwing the entire bur-
den of enforcement upon the fed
eral government.
The defeat of Governor Smith
in the last presidential election did
nothing to allay the sentiment
against prohibition. Instead, it
produced what might be called an
emotional hangover The defeat
of their candidate ranked those
who sincerely believed that Cover
nor Smith, as President, could and
would produce a better method OF
dealing with the liquor problem.
In another way, however, the
candidacy of Governor Smith was
beneficial to prohibition. He en-
tered attention upon the subject.
Before he became a candidate, the
prohibition and temperance Or
CARNATIONS had been disintegrat-
ing. They had more or less been
accepting prohibition as an accom-
plished fact, and had been in dis
organized or inactive condition, to
some extent.

Alger is alleged to have forced the
bank clerk to place $3.50 in a pill

The search for the couple has led
police into Kentucky, Ohio and

Alger was paroled from the re-

Governor Smith revivified the forces
that had brought the eighteenth
amendment into being In addi-
ton it brought into open and active
advocacy of prohibition an impor-
tant group of economic leaders, such
as Henry Ford, Filene of Boston,
Edison, and Durant.
The predominating dry sentiment
among the women of the country is
not noticeable, of course, among
those who congregate in country
clubs and who have plenty of leis-
sure and very little work. I am
we'll aware, also, that more Of the
girls and women who are employed
in Offices and industry are drinking
now than was the case ten years
ago.
Nevertheless, anyone who mingleS
freely with all classes of women is
bound to discover very soon that
the majority are opposed utterly to
re-establishment of open saloons,
and they think any relaxation OF
enforcement is step in that direc-
ton.
The great majority of women still
lean economically upon men, their
fathers or their husbands. Even if
they have property, they let their
men folks handle it.
Within the last few years prohi-
bition has lost a large number of
supporters who have been converted
to the belief that enforcement is
impossible. But, in my judgment,
and the judgment of the great ma
jority of our ninety-six United
States senators and 435 represen-
tatives, the will of the people is
still for prohibition enforcement.
The outlook, believe, is not re-
peal of the amendment or modiflca-
ton of the law, but Improvement in
enforcement methods and results.

brandt, admitting that prohibition
