SENATOR HOWELL'S BILL
1t May Become a Model for Enforce
ment Laws of the Big Cities

model prohibition bill is before Con-
gress for study and action. It is said to be
endorsed by the Federal administration
and is approved by the Department of JUS
tlce The measure is aimed at Washington
and the District of Columbia and may be-
come model for all other large cities.
Congress legislates for Washington and
other authorities will legislate for other
large cities if the new law is tried and
proves satisfactory.
News associations carry briefly the con-
tents Of the bill which is introduced by
Senator Howell, of Nebraska The bill
contains the following salient features:
l. The buyer of liquor would be Indirect
ly reached by making the drinking of in
toxicants in public a misdemeaner, pun
ishable by Jail term or fine.
2. All policemen would be sworn in as
dry agents.
3. Police court judges would be per-
mitted to issue search warrants for pri-
Vate dwellings in which liquor is sold,
still locateri or where liquor is either de
livered' or carried from"
a. Police would be permitted to keep
and use all seized vehicles
g. In addition to punishment for sale
of liquor to minors, punishment specifical-
ly for either giving or furnishing" intoxi-
cants to adolescents is provided.
g. Police would be given the same pro-
lection as Federal agents in performance
OF their duties-that is, if charged GRIM
inally, they would be defended by United
States attorneys.
Make up your mind this year you will
vote only for the nomination and election
OF candidates who are in sympathy with
prohibition regardless of political party.

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS

Here are some pertinent questions asked
by correspondent of THE AMERICAN
ISSUE:
If prohibition is failure, why will a
weeks wages in dry America buy ST.
pounds of bread and butter while weeks
wages in wet England buys 243 pounds?
Why did the death rate from alcohol
ism, which was 81 per 100000 in wet 1915
1917, drop to 1.8 per 100000 in the dry
years of 19211922?
Why have more than 90 per cent of the
jag cures of the country been discontinued
under prohibition?
Why has the annual payroll of the
United States increased 173 per cent I'M
der prohibition?
Why have commitments for drunken
ness declined SIS per cent since prohibit
ton has been in operation?
Why has the college enrolment Of the
country doubled in four years under pro-
hibition, according to the United States
Bureau of Education?
Why did industrial wages paid in this
country in dry 1925 total eleven billion
dollars as against four billion dollars in
wet 1914?

THEY WOULD BETTER INITIATE
THAN ABUSE HIM

The man who conceived the law that
now makes it felony to dispense alco-
holic beverages is man who has never
himself tasted intoxicated beverages of
any kind to his knowledge, whose chief
object is work, and his first interest is
in serving his state and the nation at
large.
Hard work has been the lot of Sena-
tor Jones from boyhood His father
died three days before his birth as
result of an injury received in the war
between the states. He had to begin
early to make his own way and he pro-
ceeded to do it with thoroughness and
dispatch. He sought all the schooling
possible. At 16 he began to teach
school in Bethany, Illinois Latter he
worked his way through the Southern
Illinois college and taught school while
studying law.
The shores of the Pacific beckoned
him. He trekked across the great
North West until he reached the
territory of Washington. It was then a
wild section. There were saloons
everywhere There was the usual amount
of drinking But" the Senator ex-
planned, II never thought of changing
formed in my first days in Illinois
I never went into a saloon, not even to
shake hands when I was campaigning,
and insofar as I can judge. L never lost
friends or votes because of my adher-
ence to this policy that believed to be
right" --UTHAI VINCENT WILCOX, in the
Christian Advocate. January 8, 1880. re-
porting an interview with Senator Wes-
ley L. Jones.
How much of the Senator's unusual
working power would have been possible
had he resorted TO alcoholic liquors for
relaxation" or as a "spur" to work may
be left to those skilled in assembling and
evidence. 1t is said that "he is
often found at his desk as early as or 5
o'clock in the morning; and he is the last
che to leave at night. He attends all ses-
sions and all committees of which he is
member. He studies the enactments made
and laws proposed. He personally an
Swers every letter"
Senator Jones is not disturbed by the
manoeuyers of the vets. He sees through
them and beyond them. The natural
thing for those who oppose the law, he
sees, is TO make it ridiculous in every way
possible
A4S uAluCAStaiiuo VIC AlIlcAACdu SpA4le VI
perhaps better the Illuminated human
spirit that realizes its relations and re-
sponsibihties. to others of its kind and
so he propheSies increasing sentiment in
favor of the prohibition law and its con-
tinued retention. He sees the world turn
ing towards prohibition World prohibi-
ton is going TO come some of these days"
he says. 1T looked to be long way off
now, but Is years ago it looked like prohi-
bition in the United States was long way
of. World prohibition may come quickly.
England and Canada are going forward,
and probably will be the first among other
to adopt the dry laws. Others

EDINBURG. Nov. 21-Damage TO
truck IN the Edinburg district caus-
ID by the recent rains and cold
weather Is beginning to be felt ra-
Sher keenly now, in the opinion OF
q. Z. Duncan Of Edinburg. promi-
nent vegetable buyer and ginner.
The 10 days of rain which struck
Edinburg recently caused the to-
matoes to crack open and the follow
ing drops In temperature prevented
them from ripening as quickly as
they would have otherwise, MI. Dun
can pointed out. I'm several cases
OF which I know" Mr.. Duncan de-
clared, "the tomato vines were kill
ed by excessive moisture and by
water standing upon them for too
long a time"
Although tomatoes have suffered
from the freakish weather striking
the Valley. cabbage has been bene-
fitted, Mr.. Duncan pointed out.
SCold weather always makes cabbage
heads grow firm and sound and as
that particular truck crop demands
A large amount OF water Tor It's
growth. the heavy rains which fell
over the Valley really aided cab
bage, although other crops suffer-
cd"
Mr.. Duncan declared that from
what he had learned Of crop con-
ditions in the lower Valley. he was OF
the opinion that truck here had been
hurt to a greater extent than around
Edinburp and vicinity. because OF
the fact that In the large truck pro,
ducing areas OF San Benito n
Earlingen more rain fell than I'D
Edinburg and the upper part OF the
Valley.
aIn addition to the damage m
flicted upon some of the truck crops
by the rain and cold weather. n
aphis has invaded the turnip fields
about here and has caused great
damage to turnip tops already MI
