The Dry Lobby

The Senator CopeIand-M Methods board incident
is another sign that power is going to the heads of the
professional drys. Dry lobbyists with all the power in
the world-or SO they think-are beginning to hang
themselves.
These lobbyists have tried for years to rule the
White House, congress and state legislatures-and too
often have succeeded. The late Wayne B. Wheeler,
counsel of the Anti-SaIoon League, probably was the
most powerful single political figure in the United
States during the HardIng-Coolidg administrations.
During the recent presidential campaign a church
group represented by such persons as Bishop James
G.. Cannon, and a political group typifed by Mrs.
Mabel Walker Wilebrandt, United States assistant
encouragement, tried openly to b%ludgeon candidates
and voters into the dry line.
They still are at it.
Bishop Cannon, in the recent fight over Increased
prohibition enforcement appropriations, not only made
virtual political threats to Secretary Mellon, but was
sufficiently powerful to have his telegram to Mellon
read by a senator on the senate floor.
Cannon then made a covert threat to President
Elect Hoover to unseat Mellon unless the appropria-
ton demanded by the drys was put through.
Cannon represents the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South.
His brothers of the northern branch, board of
temperance, prohibition and public morals of the
Methodist Episcopal church are the ones challenged
by Senator Copeland Of New York.
Copeland. in a letter to Dr.. Clarence True Wilson,
general secretary Of that board, charges that a
board lobbyist" came to his Office TO ask me as a
Methodist to vote for the pending prohibition) clo-
ture bill" and that the lobbyist was seeking in an
improper manner to gain the vote of a United States
senator"
Copeland further charges that the board, through
its official publication, claimed to have "~corralled my
vote" which he denies.
Wilson's reply is to call Copeland names. He adj
mits the incident, naming DeetS Picket, research sec
rotary Of the board, as Copeland's caller; but denies
that the board or any o. its officials ever lobby.
Whatever the Methodist board pleaSes to call its
activities in Washington. those activities are resented
increasingly by public officials. For the want OF a
better term, We should say not only that this and
other professional dry boards are maintaining a lobby,
but that they are lobbying prohibition into the most
unpopular law in the land.

said to begin with evaporation. This is the process
by which it is changed from a liquid to an invisible
gas mixed with the air which We breathe. Eyapora-
ton does not always go on at the same rate.
Dr.. w. j. Humphreys. professor OF meteorological
physics of the United States weather bureau and one
OF the worlds most distinguished authorities on
weather problems, lists the factors influencing evapo-
ration as follows:
First: The area Of the eyaporating. The larger
the surface, the more rapid the total evaporation.
Second: The temperature OF the evaporatlng
water. The higher this temperature, the more rapid
the evaporation. That is why heating things hastens
their drying.
Third: The velocity OF the wind to which the
water is exposed. This explains why roads, for in
stance, dry so much quicker when the winds are
strong than when they are light.
Fourth: The amount Of moisture already IN the at
mosphere. The wash on the clothesline, as every
housewife knows, dries proyokingly slowly during
cloudy, muggy weather.
DR.. Humphreys points out that there are other fac
tors which also influence evaporation, such as the
density of the air, the saltiness Ct the water and so
on, butsthat these factors are all 50 slight that they
can be ignored for all ordinary purposes.
Fundamentally, evaporation is a molecular process.
All liquids are composed Of tiny particles called mole
cules which are in continuous vibration. There is a
tendency for the molecules at the surface Of The liquid
to fly of into space. That constitutes evaporation.
The rate of evaporation. therefore, is the rate at
which molecules of the liquid fy OF into spaca

The Power COMPANY Press

Government revelations of rapid acquisition of
newspaper stock throughout the country by the Inter-
national Paper and Power Company have shocked the
nation profoundly.
Democracy depends on a free press. A press con-
trolled by the power interests, or any other outside in
terestS, can not be free.
If other power and public utility groups are as
widely implicated as the International Paper and
Power Company, penetration of the press by special
interests has reached menacing proportions. The
government investigation must be continued. The pub
lie must be on guard.
A. r. Graustein. president of the International
Paper and Power Company, testified to the federal
trade commission in Washington yesterday that:
His company has s10,7se 700 interest in eleven news
papers in eight cities, and indirect interest in others.
1t has tried 10 obtain control of other large metropoli-
tan papers. and is pegotiating for more newspaper
stock.
Papers in which it has stock include the Chicago
Daily News, Chicago Journal, Boston Herald, Boston
Traveller. Brooklyn Eagle, Albany Knickerbocker Press
and Albany Evening News. 1t has financial interest
through notes in the ithaca IN. W Journal-News'
Augusta Ca Chronicle, Columbia IS. c. Record and
spartanburg Is. g Herald-Journal, and indirect in
terest in the Greensboro n. c. Record and Tampa
Qls) Tribune.
Grausteins defense is that his company's sole mo-
tive in these deals is to obtain outlet for its print
naner product. and that it does not exercise improper
influence over news and editorial policies OF those
newspapers.
But such argument eyades the issue. II this con-
Germ were only a paper company, the case would De
materially different. A power corporation, however
has a selfish interest in major governmental questions
of community, state and nation; 1t is a orect parry
70 the disputes over municipal rates, valuations fran
chises, utility regulations and government control ana
ownership.
The public is especially sensitive to propaganda
tendencies Of power and utility corporations. For
more than a year the federal trade commission has
been revealing a nationwide secret propaganda web
around schools. clubs. and legislative bodies by which
certain power and utility companies and associations
have tried to control legislation and public opinion.
There can be no doubt about the predominant
power interest of the international Paper and Power
Company. Graustein testified yesterday that in 1927

to the fanny cat. The reason for
this is the fact that the cat has
been associated with magic and with
evils of one type or another, as we'll
as with good fortune since the
earliest times.
The Egyptians had a cat-headed
deity. The Phoenicians and the
Romans also had moon goddeSses

AS has been mentioned previously
in this series. the cat is associated
always with the moon because it Is
more active after sunset and be-
cause the pupils of the eyes Of the
cat through their dilatation and
contraction recall the waxing and
waning of the moon. witches al
ways had their fayorite cats.
There are innumerable superstl-

with the cure of disease through cat
magic.

infant and produce suffocation, but
possibility is not proof.
Every year in the large cities Of
the United States there are nu-
merous instances of deaths Of in
fants from sleeping with adults,
who accidentally overlie the infant
during sleep.
Not infrequently infants are
found dead through having been
permitted to roll over and lie with
the nose and the mouth buried in a
soft pillow.
There unquestionably are other
instances in which infants have
been suffocated through accidents
of one type or another.
The domestic cat not infre-
quently sleeps in any soft place it
can find about the home.
The parent finding an infant
dead without other explanation is
more than likely to attribute the evil
