state of public mind on these questions.
The booze question is settled. There are
now other questions waiting for public
action.
IT don't mean that laws should never

generation, faced with different condi-
tons than those which faced us, may
adapt the laws to the different and bet
ter conditions which they will face. The
operation of the present law concerning
liquor will certainly give our descendants
much better conditions to deal with
But that action will never be initiated
or precipitated by the straw vote method
Nothing to DO But Wait.
"As see it, we have nothing to do
but wait the certain action of time.
Liquor Is no longer an integral part OF
American civilization. There is no
ground for discussion of that.
From now on, the takers will talk:
the wise will keep silent; and the con-
dition itself will grow better and bet
ter. The terms wet and dry are both
due to pass out Of our language. Pro-
fessionals on both sides are due to lose
their jobs.
The game Of getting the 'drys' ex-
cited one week, and the vets excited
next week, is played out. All the 'wets'
need is a little more rope-and they
will accept the verdict of history.
THAT is what the abolition Of gov
ernment-protected business is-the ver-
dict of history"

BERLIN ANTI.NOISE
DRIVE GETS RESULTS
Hotel Substitutes Banner Instead
Of Lusty-Lunged Bell Hops
for Calls.

BERLIN (NAN.A.). The anti
noise campaigners already are report
ing little victories on more than one
front. In one hotel, at least, there has
been a striking innovation.
In lieu of the buttons" Summoning
q guest to the telephone or bureau with
all the youthful force of his lungs, a
banner with the brave device, Herr
so-and-so wanted" is perambulated
about the public rooms. But in case
patrons are too occupied to notice the
modern excelsior" going its rounds, 1t
has been fitted with tuneful, tinkling
bell. This is generally preferred to the
vocal efforts of former days.
The early-morning noises in Berlin
do not emanate, as in many cities, from
the melodious offices Of milk distribu-
ton, but rather from the beer cart and
the dust cart. The patent German
dust bin Is exchanged by strong and
hygienic men thrice weekly and by no
means in silence.
