at least youthful spirits who live in
eternal darkness. Blindness does not
deter them from engaging in their
fascinating radio pastime. Both by
autobiography and radiotelephony they
carry on code and voice conversations
with amateurs in this country and the
world over.
In response to a request from Will
liam d. Terrell, director Of radio Of
the Department of Commerce, super
visors throughout the country have
compiled lists of blind amateurs in
their respective districts. The roster
totals IA, but Mr. Terrell says the
total likely is twice that figure.

Notification or Mere Candor?
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 Illinois has voted to repeal it's Prohibition en- forcement statute and will become the seventh State without Dry law if Governor Emmerson signs the bill. Responding to the two-to-one vote of the electorate last autumn the Legislature had no choice but to accept the obvious wish of the voters The Governors position is much the same
 According to Senator Borah to name but one of Dry proclivities, this action is downright null lification" And nullification it will be recalled is the phrase that aroused popular feelings to fever heat in 1850s Does the Eighteenth Amendment indeed place a constitutional obligation upon the States, as well as Federal Government, to enforce the ban on alcoholic beverages?
 Erudte scholars of the Constitution will take sides sharply on this question. Some will assert the Eighteenth Amendment is grant of power concurrently to central government and the States and that it carries mandatory implication Others will be equally certain that by it's phrasng the amendment places a duty the States to aid in enforcement.
 Even though State repeal of Dry laws be con- strued as notification, the fact remains that we have in America no means of cabling a State into action it refuses to take. Nothing short ot military force can be found to bring pressure or one of the 48 Commonwealths To this limit none is prepared to go at present, although Amos w. w Woodcocks dry army has many of the elements of recalcitrant States.
 It is likely that constitutional bubbles will play little part in the ultimate fate of liquor control Whether it be notification or not the refusal o seven States to cooperate in enforcing Prohibition is candid display of the futility of writing g visionary moral principle into a constitution wher no preponderant public opinion has sanctioned it.
 While scholars of the law are debating the constitutional questions involved in nullification mer and women being shot down by Dry agents citizens drinking alcohol poisoned by their own Government, bootleggers becoming multi millionaires and sometimes the actual rulers ot communities through illicit trade, and the Nation is dividing steadily into enemy camps, with vas wall of bitterness between them. These trends, tt the realist, means far more than the subtleitie of constitutional law

L0NCWORTHI IS LAID TO REST
 AT CINCINNATI
President and Congression- al Party Pay Respects
 to Dead Speaker

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 13.- Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of the House of Representatives was buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, the resting place of his forbears, last Saturday afternoon.
 There were no words of eulogy the simple ritual of the Episcopal church being used.
 President Hoover and large Congressional delegation attended the services in Christ Episcopal church.
 The Rev. Henry Wise Hobson, Bishop of Southern Ohio, pre- nounced the brief prayer.
 Men and women, high in the public affairs of the nation, called at the Redwood estate of the Longworths to extend sympathy to the widow, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth.
 The active pallbearers were B. A. Wallingford, ST, and his three sons, and Kermit and Arch c Roosevelt, brothers of the widow. There were fifty honored pail bearers.
 The route from the church to the cemetery was lined by great i crowds.

A LAW.MADE POORHOUSE.

The residents of the Virgin Islands can reasonably be excused for being resentfu of MT. Hoover's characterization of their homeland as an effective poorhouse." He has probably not overstated the truth, but as in many other instance the truth is not always all-revealng.
 The distressing economic and industrial condl- tions in the Virgin Islands not of their own manufacture. They victims of the actions of others which they had no control and about which they could do absolutely nothing.
 The United States bought the islands without the consent of those who reside there. Then in beneficient attempt to legislate morality into wayward humans at home, Jumped them into the noble experiment" along with the other mil lions of Americans They had one means of liveli- hood-furnished by the rum industry. Congress wiped that out.
 After generations of civil rule under one na- tionality, they were turned to the Navy for administration. This offered encouragement or leadership in providing a new industry to take the place of the one destroyed. The record of our dealings there is not one of which the country be proud. And they were deserving of some thing than the Presidents casual reference to pauperhood
