The Howell Bill
Hoover's Message Not An Endorsement

President Hoover has reiterated his recommendation that
Congress legislation supplement the national pro-
hIbition law in the District.

effort to make the politically mpotent National Capital

Attempts will be made to construe the recent message
President Hoover the Congress Endorsement Of the
drastic Howell bill, pending in the Senate.
It not such Endorsement and should not be used
vehicle to carry to passage against which citizens
Of the District are overwhelmingly arrayed
The President in his latest message tells the Congress-
"The Attorney General has made recommends
tions to the character Of such Legislation before
the committees of Congress-"
Senator Howell the Nebraska water works expert, told
the Senate in the last session that his bill had the approval
Of the Attorney General and tried to create the impression
that the measure was what the President wanted
His bill never had and does not have the Endorsement
Of the Attorney General
The most vicious phase of the Howell bill that extending
the power OF search and seizure beyond the limits
scribed in the Volstead act.
Attorney General during the last session. bitterly
dened this provision declaring that he did believe it
justified.
At that time he wrote the Senate District Committee as fol-
lows:
cit is true that in States local State IesisLu
tures haze made drastic provisions for search
OF dwellings than has Congress in the national pro-
ibitiOn act, but that does seem to Justify lack
Of uniformity in Federal Legislation.
Furthermore, in judgment, effort to Improve
the enforcement of the national prohibition act may
be better expended, at least for the present. in other
directions than in attempt make more drastic
the provisions for searching dUeLlings-an attempt
UUhich WOud controversy, uUith doubtful

It is true that Senator Howell has slightly modified his bill
since then But ne still has it the vicious extension of the
search power.

The greatest obstacle to the chds recovery lies probably

@SSS444SO
You had your nose in every
thing.
Then, your heart was open
to all the world. Every human
was a fellow adventurer. You
might battle and brawl, but
there were no walls between
you. Consciousness was an
open thoroughfare. You gave
yourself to life, and life gave
itself to you.
And then, gradually, there
came a change. The call grew
faint; the glitter dimmed;. the
warmed tide Jagged and failed.
You withdrew into yourself.
Walls rose around you. You
began to be cautious, suspicious,
timid, fussy, resentful; each
day more lonely; each day more
bored.
Not q Thing Left
And now you cry "I want to
live!" But you have lost the
secret. You are cold, and
nothing comes to warm you.
You are unsatisfied, but moth
ing fills your hunger or
brightens the drab monotony
of the days.

you should fall.
Your faithful wife - your
loved and loving wife, your boys
and girls-they are the ones
who would suffer most.
Be faithful to those who trust
you.

the best possession to have.
Pleasure gained at the eX.
pense of the loss of your self
respect is too dearly bought.

Tom Reed Should
Have Been a Warning

It is never an easy matter
to tell just when Senator
Moses is indulging in irony.
He is the Bernard Shaw of
his party. Sometimes he is
subtle; but his reference to
the boundless popularity Of
the President was rather too
broad. He was playing for
the inward chuckles on, the
Republican side Of the cham
Der. He likes that sort of
thing. We can imagine the
scene in the Republican
cloakroom afterwards. But
he is venturing on dangerous
ground.
Familiar as he is with po-
litical history, he must real
ize that irony is a dangerous
thing for craftsmanship to
play with.
Tom Reed loved nothing
better than irony, but it
probably lost him the presi-
dency. No one knew when
to take him seriously. He
realized his mistake too late,
and warned aspiring poll
ticians against a reputation
for humor. But humorists,
like Senator Moses and Will
Rogers, cannot resist the
temptation to get the tran
sient laugh. To them, it is
the cream on the cup.
The Senator could not re-
sist the impulse to refer to
the Hoover Administration
as singularly successful, max

Mark Twain
Was Too Funny

Was Too Funny
Humor collects it's toll Of
the humorist, and when he
seeks to be funny he some
times makes dreadful blum
ders.
Take the case Of Mark
Twain: It, was in 1876 when
the Republican National Ad-
ministration was reeking
with corruption. Most of
the 1eaders-the Presidents
secretary, three members
Of his Cabinet, the Vice
President, the chairman Of
the House Committees on
Ways and Means, Appropri-
ations, Judiciary, the Com
mittee on Railroads and
Commerce, and a dozen
more, had been caught red
handed.
It was at that time that
Blaine, speaking at Sara
toga, put his hand into his
high-hat and pulled out
not the Whiskey Ring
scandal, not the Credit
Mobilier scandal, not the
railroad scandals, not the
Navy contract scandal, the
Mulligan letters, but a wee
bit of a rabbit which
scampered about in a tiny
corner of the country called
Tweed. He was a tiny fig
ure, but he was expected to
furnish a hiding for the big
and burly figures Of the
pious leaders Of the nation,
whose crimes had affected,
not the people Of a town,
but of the entire country.
That was the strategy then
in '76.
And that year Mark
Twain, good party man, in
PRODUCING Senator Hawlev
of Connecticut who had
served as head Of the Cen
tennial, made the point that
he was unique among ma
tional figures in office in
that he had handled mil
lions of dollars without
stealing any of it. Of co1ree,
the audience laughed. It
was funny and almost en-
tirely true.

Delighted With
The "New Record"

NV"
The political recess" is
over, as far as the Hoover
Administration is concerned,
and Democrats need not
take it too seriously hence
forth. Senator Moses has
had his fling, and the
Jahncke of the Administra-
ton, whose recent speech in
Ohio, which served as a cur
tain raiser for Mr.. Sea-
bury's, is to speak again on
"The Hoover Administra-
ton: A New Chapter in the
Record of Republican Ser
vice"
The "new chapter" will
tell Of 100000 men denied
the right to earn their daily
bread, of 100000 men,
women and children in dis
tress, of the greatest flood
of bankruptcies and bank
failures in American his
tory, of a deficit of $2,000,-
100000 in times of peace, of
a resulting increase in
taxes that will be appalling,
of factories closed and for
eign markets lost, of bung-
ling in international affairs.
The Jahncke of the Admin
istration will have much to
talk about.
But Senator Moses, who is
a clever man, evidently was
indulging in his penchant for
irony when he announced
that the people, delighted
with the "new record, !"
would rise and march like
an army with banners, with
Mr.. Hoover in the lead to a
Hoover victory in November,

LISTEN. WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

"It is all over" you say
bitterly, There is nothing left.
That joy and eagerness I felt
as a child we're simply the
physical energy of a young
animal. AS soon as I stopped
being a child, those adventures
stopped. They had to stop.
You can't feel that way after
you're young. Well, I might
as well make the best Of it
but what farce life isl"
You're wrong! Adventures do
not stop UNTIL WE MAKE
THEM STOP. The joy Of life is
not just a matter of youthful
blood pressure. Life can be as
eager and as open at fifty as it
was at fifteen, IF WE WILL
LET TT BE EAGER AND OPEN.
But we, ourselves, close the
thoroughfare of life. We close
it with our selfiShnesS and fear,
our self-indulgence and conce1t.
Out Of these things we build
the walls that shut us in; but
outside the walls, the same old
mystery waits, the same wonder
and glory and delight.
HOW CAN YOU FIND LIFE
AGAIN?
By going out Of it. By put
ting aside the habits that have
built walls about you, and COM
ing out into the open. BY hurl'
ing yourself recklessly into life,
into new adventure and COM
panionship, as you did when you
were a child.
You didn't live INSIDE
YOURSELF when you were q
child. You lived OUTSIDE
YOURSELF. You lived out in
the middle of things, and you
took things and people as they
came. You didn't fuss and fret
and weigh and ponder and try
to fit things to your pretty per.
Sonal pattern.
YOU TOOK A CHANCE!
YOU TOOK A CHANCE WITH
YOURSELF-WITH PEOPLE
WITH LIFE. .'-..
The Tragic Mistake
OF course, you did plenty fool
things; made many mistakes.
But you didn't make that most
tragic mistake Of all. YOU
DIDN'T SHUT OUT LIFE. You
suffered penalties and punish
ments; BUT YOU HAD LIFE
AND THE JOY OF LIFE, AND
THAT WAS WORTH ANY
PRICE YOU HAD TO PAY. No
day was monotonouS, no pros
pect hopeless, nor was any per.
son wholly a stranger or an
enemy.
YOU WERE PARTNERS
WITH THE WHOLE HUMAN
RACE.
Go out and be partners again!
Stop shifting and shooting and
hiding and haggling and peev-
ing and objecting. Go out and
share your joy and sorrow, your
pride and humiliation.
Share your WEAKNESS and
wonder, your dreams and de-
light and despair with every
soul you meet-aS once you
shared mud puddles.
Kick down your self-made
barriers. Cut loose from your
Self-made ShackleS. Leave your
old person. Be a new person.
Life is waiting-if you'll take
q chance.

Reed should have been a

So many humorists have

tation for sober leadership.
A Speech
Ruined Knott
Many years ago Proctor
Knott, of Kentucky, bril-
liant and solid intellectually,
wrecked his career by in
dulging in just such irony
as that of Senator Moses in
his reference to the popular
acclaim for Mr.. Hoover and
the fruits of his Administra-
tion. The occasion was not
vastly important.
1t grew out of a bill pro-
viding an appropriation for
Duluth, then an obscure vii
lage which had been given
a rather extravagant future.
He was against it, but he
attacked it it with the
double-edged weapon of
irony. Nothing better in
that line has ever been
heard in Congress. He
tried, with a straight face,
to outdo the sponsors Of
the measure in his rhapsodic
tributes to the glories of DH-
luth; just as Senator Moses
sought to out-Jahncke for
the sake of the laugh. That
speech ruined Knott.
And if the country has
not been as much amused
by the irony of Moses as
with that of Knott, it has
been diverted and amused.
Perhaps the humor of the
Senator was a bit broader
than that of the Kentuckian.
But it was good humor and
everyone enjoyed it. The
danger is that Moses may
get a reputation as a humor-
list which may make it diff
ficult for the public ever
to take him seriously again.
A clever man, popular
with the press correspond
ents, we should be sorry to
see him go the way Of
Reed and Knott.
