in the spring, in an extra
session, when the Democracy
will have the power and the
votes.
Thus there was no occa-
sion for the long faces seen
after the House vote on
Monday. The victory is won;
that vote, properly analyzed,
proves it beyond all ques-
tion.

Why always try to change
somebody?
You don't allow for personal

You don't like certain charac-
teristics, but another might like
them.
Instead of acknowledging that
people differ, and it is their
privilege, you'd like to pour
them all from the same mold.
1t won't work out, and it was
never intended that all should
be alike.

Einstein and the
State Department

Meanwhile, in its, twilight,
the State Department of the
present Administration has
made America ridiculous by
it's incredible treatment of
Albert Einstein, one Of the
most famous scientists in
the world. This distinguished
man had been invited to
America to deliver some lee
lures. He had accepted.
Some busybodies, hearing
that he had an open mind
on communism, protested to
the State Department against
his admission as a visitor.
Such a protest against the
admission of such a person
age should have been
thrown into the waste bas-
ket.
But not so.
Einstein applied to the
American consulate in Ber-
lin for a visa. When one
of the most distinguished
and respected men of the
world appeared he was sub
jected to questioning. What
activities" did he propose
to indulge in when in Amer
lea? Was he going to visit
"friends or what?" What
organization did he belong
to? And finally the point
was reached.
What party do you be-
long to or sympathize
with?"
"Are you a Communist
or an Anarchist"
And then, being a self-re-
respecting man, the great
scientist gave the proper
answer:
"I don't propose to an
swer such silly questions
I didn't ask to go to Amer
lea. Your countrymen in
.vited me; yes, begged me-
If I am to enter your courl-
try as a suspect, I don't
want to 60 at all. If you
don't want to give me a
visa, please say so, then IN
know where I stand. But
don't ask me humiliatlng
questions"
z The visa has been granted;
but Einstein has been given
a kick by the representative
of the American Government
which reflects no credl'
upon it.

The wife may have his name,

But the girl who shares his
days, his burdens, his problems,
his joys, disappointments, tri-

the MAN, himself. 1t is she
who really shares his life,
while the wife gets only the
remains and the crumbs, when
he comes home all tagged out

That is why so many buSi-

The Victory
Is Won

Is Won
The Democrats in the re-
cent campaign made no
pledge to the people that a
repeal resolution would be
adopted before the party en-
tered upon it's mandate in
March; it could not make
such a pledge.
That makes all the more
impressive the leadership as
sumed by the Democratic
leaders in pushing a repeal
resolution under existing
congressional condit i ons.
Speaker Garner forced a re-
peal vote the very first day
of the session. The reso-
luton was offered from
the floor by Representative
R ainey, the Democratic
leader. All of which means
that the public has the as
surance that the party voted
into power is determined to
make good on its pledge to
repeal the Ell g h t e ent h
Amendment. 1t will make
good on the modification of
the Volstead act to permit
the manufacture and sale Of
beer with a tax upon it.

National Prohibition
Is Doomed

4S OOOmeu
Most of these lame ducks,
as we predicted voted
against the mandate of the
nation in retaliation for
their defeat and thereby
justified their retirement.
The major part of the vote
against repeal came from
the Republicans. With the
House almost evenly divided
between the two parties,
100 of the 144 votes against
repeal were cast by the Re-
publicans. Sixty-nine were
cast by men the people
have just thrown into the
uttermost darkness of de-
feat. Of the A Democrats
who voted against repeal,
II will not sit in the next
House.
New York is notoriOusly
for repeal, and yet but four
Republicans from that State
voted for it; eight voted
against it. Thus, as far as
the politicians are concerned,
the New York Republicans
stood pat for prohibition.
But Smell of New York, the
Republican leader in the
House who will continue as
leader in the new House
which comes in three months
hence, voted with Garner.
Thus the vote this week
gives positive assurance that
within three months we shall
have a House which will
vote overwhelmingly for re-
peal. National prohibition
is doomed and damned now.
The vote this week was the
digging of the grave; the
burial will come very soon.
