DRYS' SCHEME
ON PROHIBITION
CALLED UNWISE
Effort TO Get Veto From
13 States on Repeal
Is ASSaiIed.

IN Soripps-Hoioord Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK. May 19.-Proposal
Of some drys for a veto by thirteen
states Of prohibition repeal was
characterized as "unwise and Vi
cious" by Stanley High, prominent
prohibitionist and son Of a state
Anti-Saloon League superintendent,
in the June Harpers Magazine.
Such a veto proposal was made
and approved last week at the
Methodist Episcopal. general con-
.erence in Atlantic City.
High, long a church publication
ditor. warned that If the use Of
quor continued TO increase, what
hight be a strategic retreat may
urn into a rout Of the drys.
He characterized the lawlessness
# the operations Of Capone, Dia-
nond. ETC., as worse than those Of
3athhouse John and Hinky Dnk OF
he saloon days.
Attitude Changes Rapidly
The most serious development
4 these prohibition yea High
said. 'is the radically changed atti-
Jude toward use Of liquor" Illus
trating the rise Of liquor TO the
status OF social necessity" High
told of a friend, living in city Of
10000. who reported that only one
family out Of twelve which he knew
intimately served liquor IN pre-
prohibition days. Now all twelve
serve liquor.
IN other words, liquor, in these
post prohibition years, has attained
to a more respectable place In
American society than it has held
at any time in the last half CEN
fury"
He suggested that the drys them
selves should sponsor a referendum.
OF this proposal, he said:
such a referendum might go
against prohibition. In such case,
do not see how the dry leadership
could afford to oppose the enact
ment Of legislation designed to
carry out the will Of a majority OF
the people.
Course Called Unwise
1T often is remarked that repeal
of any other constitutional change
in the present law could be perma-
nently blocked by the opposition OF
thirteen dry states. Such action,
clearly, would be both unwise and
vicious.
II do not believe that any re-
sponsible dry leader would counsel
it. I am certain, however, that II
such a vote did go against prohi-
bition, the dry fight would not for
a moment be halted.
But it no longer would be a
defensive fight. The vets, not the
drys. would be obliged to defend
the new system and explain away,
as best they could, its shortcom-
ings."

 on Mission Here

What can Seattle and the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce do for Alaskan" is the question being asked by Christy Thomas, veteran general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, who is visiting here after a tour of interior and west ern districts. He and Mrs. Thom- as arrived last night on the steam CT Yukon and will remain until the Queen leaves for Sitka tomor- row.
 Our services, the service of our bureau in Washington, D. O., and any other facilities we have, are Alaskas for the asking We really want to do for you what you want us to do," MT. Thomas declared.
 He is seeking the answer to his query from Alaskan business men, Territorial and Federal officials, Chambers of Commerce and other organizations and individuals with whom he comes into contact. He really believes that Alaska has asked too little of his own organi- zation and would like to know the why's and wherefores.
 He and Mrs. Thomas have visit ed Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward and other railroad towns. and in- terior communities on the high ways including Valdez and Cor dova. we found conditions far, much better than those in Seattle which in turn are better than the average city or smaller community in the States" MT.

 He conferred with President AL len Shattuck and Secretary G. H. Walmsley of the Chamber of Com merce today and expected to meet other local business men and of- ficials during his stay here. He and Mrs. Thomas are guests at the Gastineau.
