DRY SENATOR'S own.
STATES 'GO' WET
Digest Poll Puts Idaho and
Montana for Repeal and
Modification.

Four new States are represented IN
the nth week of the Literary DigeSts
Nationwide prohibition poll. and the
drys made q slight gain, with more
than a half million additional votes
tabulated.
retained the lead, however, the Digest
announced today, with 1,049,257, or
AIT per cent, recorded in favor OF re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment. The
vote for strict enforcement was 70 per
cent of the total, or 712,549, while 754.-
266, or almost 80 per cent, favor mod1-
fication.
Colorado. Idaho, Montana and Utah
are the States from which flrSt returns
are tabulated this week.
The minor change for strict enforce
ment, which amounts to slightly less
than one-half of l per cent, is taken
from the vote for repeal. Also rather
minute increase is noted for modifica-
ton, the Digest says.
Idaho Goes Wet.
Meager returns from the thinly pop
ulated State of Idaho, home OF the dry
Senator Borah, show preponderance OF
sentiment for repeal, with the vote
given as AL for strict enforcement, 27l
for modification and 444 for repeal.
In Utah, the home of Senator Reed
6l6, was greater than for either modi-
f1cation, 425, or repeal. 412, although
the plurality for modification and re-
peal was greater by one-fourth the total
vote
The vote for repeal in Montana, the
home of the dry Democrat, Senator
Thomas j. Walsh, was almost twice the
vote for enforcement. The tabulat1on
showed: For enforcement, 730; for modi-
flcatiOn 735. for reOeal 1 237.
Enforcement ran ahead in Colorado,
although the combined vote for modif1-
cation and repeal was greater, the vote
being: otto for enforcement, 6,669 for
modification and STAT for repeal.
Change of Sentiment Is Seen.
A change of sentiment was suggested
in the Digest'S comparison of returns
in the present poll with returns in a
similar poll in 1922. The fifth weeks
tabulation of returns in answer to the
three same questions used in the cur
rent balloting showed total Of 617,838
votes, of which 236349 were for en-
forcement; $4,000 for modification and
128, 500 for repeal.
In answer to complaints that num-
Der of people have been vote repeat
ers in the current poll the Digest ex-
plains that one person may actually
receive and cast more than one bona
nue vote, as there are nVe poIIS IN
progress at present beside the main
referendum of 100000 900 ballots.
For instance" the magazine says
editorially, lone may receive one ballot
in the canvass of twenty millions, an
other in our special poll of Digest sub
scribers, another in our special poll OF
clergymen and so on. And he is well
come to vote them all, because the
special poll ballots are specially marked
and are not counted in with the great
poll"
Analysing the current returns, the
Digest says: THE rise in the enforce
ment ratio is balanced by fall in the
relative dominance of the huge straw
vote for repeal, which is the talk of
politicians from Maine to California.
But the change is so slight that it is
hardly likely to agitate the hopes or
fears of any but the most optimistic
drys or the most pessimistic VETS"

ceived a total sentence Of four
years in the Maryland House of

Windsor, anyhow. but the shoes
that he left in place of shoes
he stole, provided just the clue
for which police pray.
The shoes were distinctive.
They came before the eyes of
Chief Alva A. Moxley. who re-
cognized them as having been
made in the Maryland House of

FIVE PLAYS

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Broad
way can boast only five plays fit
to be seen by people of taste and
intelligence, the Rev. DR.. John
Haynes Holmes asserted in an
address in the Community Church
on Park Avenue. He said:
"And there are five plays
which should not be missed by
any rerscn who desires to en-
Joy the best in the modern the
aters. All the rest of the new
shows are either worthless or
indecent.
Pander to Wastrels
"The present situation would
be comic If it were not SO tragic.
In the flush days of recent
prosperity, the theaters have
deliberately pandered to the
wastreIs and waSters, who come
to New York to spend their
easy money in excitement and
dissipation, by offering them
plays of the most indecent
character.
"In so doing, the theaterS
have driven off the hundreds of
thousands of respectable peo-
pie in the city, lovers of the
theater and good acting, who
are unwilling to purchase their
entertainment at the price of
personal insult and public Of
fense.
Returning to Decency
"Now that the wasters have
lost their money, the theaters
are making desperate efforts to
win back the patronage of the
general public. This is the real
reason why the theaters are so
excited all of sudden over the
ticket scandal"
The clergyman did not nar1e
any of the plays of which he
spoke.

there can be no legitimate excuse for
such happenings-such carelessness.
have no reason to believe that these
statistics are not applicable with more
or less exactness to many Of the other
railroads in this country.
What is the solution of this traffic
problem? My answer Is, after the
things I have mentioned have been
done, the drafting of uniform trafnc
regulations; the familiarizing of the
public with these regulations and the
reasons for their development through
a process of education, and, finally, the
rigorous enforcement of these regula-
tions. The keynote of all Of these en-
deavors in my opinion, Is education.
AS evidence Of the need for education.
let me point to the recommendation Of
the National Conference, which says In
substance:
"a large percentage of traffic acct
dents are attributable to two or three
major causes-violation of the right-of-
way, driving on the wrong side OF the
highway and driving of the high
way due to inaStention or excessive
speed"
These three causes represent about 80
per cent Of the accidents that involve
automobiles. They are all the result
VI ClILAcT 1dlluIC W AHOW IhiC 1CSuld-
tons, inattention, indifference or reck-
leSsneSs.
. Education will solve the question as
it concerns the failure to know the
regulations. BY awakening the motor
list to the hazard involved in driving
car, and by impressing his danger
upon him, it may also solve the prob
lem Of inattention
The problem offered by indifference
and recklessness can be solved only by
strict enforcement Of sensible and COM
plete regulations, made q part OF our
system of laws.
