WASHINGTON, Dec. s.
The house began to vote on
the Garner prohibition repeal
resolution at 1 :46 p. m. today.
BY 245 to III, the house decided
to consider the repeal resolution.
This came on a technical parlia-
mentary move which, had it been
defeated, automatically would have
killed further consideration.
The vote of 245 to 121 provided
one more than a two thirds ma
jority of those voting. Forty-one
members did not vote on this ques-
ton of consideration, which techni-
cally was termed a second" to the
Rainey proposal for adoption of the
repeal resolution.
Speaker John N. Garner, as the
forty minutes of debate began,
yielded the chair to Representative
Clifton A. Woodrum Dem, Va.
Vice-President Charles Curtis and
Speaker Garner at noon called the
lame duck" short session to order.
The senate adjourned at 1918
p. m. out OF respect to deceased
members.

Majority Leader James E. Wat
son moved the adjournment, but
forgot to mention that it was in re-
spect to the late Senator Wesley L.
Jones (Rep., Wash), and Senator
Charles w. Waterman (Rep., Colo).
Senators were moving to the aisles
when Senator c. c. Dill Dem,
Wash), jumped up, obtained recog-
milton, and amended Watson's pro-
posal to include the purpose of the
early adjournment.
The house stole the congressional
show. The promise of vote on
prohibition repeal packed the house

272 Votes to Pass
The roll cal of the house after it
had convened showed 407 members
present. This meant that 272 votes
would be needed to pass the repeal
resolution by the necessary two
thirds majority.
After the initial roll call in the
house, which consumed thirty min
utes, showed 4O7 members present,
the designations of Representatives

Ecstasy, at first. Ecstasy that

Then it fizzled out, and you
were as lonely and bewildered

So, of course, you concluded
that love had failed because it
wasn't the right love. If you
had found the right love, then
everything would have been
well. The ecstasy would have

love. We release something that
has been gradually forming in
us, since we were born.
Ever since we were born, life
has been moving restlessly, in
us, reaching out-reaching out
for more power, and pride, and
pleasure, and peace.
Life is always reaching out.
Love is life's reaching-out.
Love is life's reaching out
for someone to comfort it's
loneliness, share its tenderness,
flatter it's vanity, help its weak
ness, excuse its faults, tighten
its boredom, cool it's fire.
Love is the life in you, reach
ing out.
Why does love seem to fail
us? Why does no lover ever
satisfy us?
Love Is Life
That is why. Because love
is life. And life is always
restless, always unsatisfied,
always reaching out.
Nothing can stop life's rest
lessness. Nothing can satisfy
loves need.
So do not blame the one you
love for that. He or she is be-
wildered as YOU are, as hungry,
as incomplete.
But that is not a tragedy.
That is the glorious. the worth
while thing about life!
Thank God for life's restless
ness! Thank God that love
never stands still; that there
are always new hungers in you,
and fresh dreams.
Do not ask to stand still. Do
not expect to be satisfied. Dare
to want more. Dare to reach
out. Dare to live; even though
life can never be complete.
Dare to love; even though love
can never be perfect.

The Courage of

That is the reason Repub-

prohibition, who are honest
with themselves, are leaving
Mr.. Hoover for Mr.. Roose-

no Republican opponent Of
prohibition who dares be
honest with himself can do
anything less.
Within the last two days
we have had evidence of this
drift. The other night in

Mary Sayles Moore, long

signed her membership as a

Mrs. Moore Gives
Her Reasons

Thus she appeared before
the startled committee to
read her resignation. Her
reasons are the reasons of an
honest and courageous
woman. We commend her
reasons to men in New
Jersey who are still play
ing hide and seek with their
conscience:
II am becoming more
convinced every day that
Mr.. Hoover is not enthusi-
astic for the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment, as I
was led to believe by his
acceptance speech. The Re-
publican party has side
stepped the issue for SO
long that I was inclined to
believe that he had seen
the light. But as the cam
paign progresses, and I wit
ness the enthusiastic support
which he receives from the
dry element, I find I am
up in the air."
She finds that Mr.. Curtis,
playing the dry game in
dry territory, "has made
the challenge of our party's
insincerity DESERVED" and
she observes that Coolidge
utterly ignored the subject
in his speech. She continues:
II am heartily out of
sympathy with the plank in
the Republican platform,
which I consider was
framed WIFI Lne sole 1uea
of holding the wet and the
dry elements both within
the party. It is hypocritical,
and if put into legislation
will continue most of the
evils of the present regime,
and will fail to raise the
revenues so badly needed
at this time"
There can be no honest
mind among the enemies of
prohibition who must not
agree. But Mrs. Moore has
the courage to follow hor
logic.

And so she resigns from

looks, complains sadly that he
can't find a companionable
wife in all this land of lovely
women, because "all the
YOUNG women are frivolous,
selfish, mercenary and light
headed. They have no
BRAINS!"
OF course! Why not? To
any man, who has begun to need
a second set of bridgeWork, and
to wonder just how long those
precious locks across his fore
head will last, any YOUNG
woman would seem frivolous
and brainlesS. And almost any
girl, who would marry man
twice her age, IS mercenary.
Funny, how these men who have
lost most of that schoolboy
hair" still cling to the delusion
that they are wasting time on
anything but that schoolgirl
complexion"
All men are more charming
and more interesting, at 80 or
40 or even so, than they are at
20. There is no reason in the
world why a lone man in his
forties or fiftieS should not find
love and companionship and
even romance. But, he won't
find it in the kindergarten, or
in the high school or on the
college campus or at the debu-
tante parties.
I have seen the most pathetic
cases of attractive middle-aged
men, tied to giddy young wives,
who either bored them to death
or worried them to death.

A Cowardly
Subterfuge

The difference between
the planks on the repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment
in the two platforms makes
an issue. The Hoover plank
did not put the party be-
hind a repeal pledge; it
merely submitted repeal
without recommendation to
the people. That was a
cowardly subterfuge. The
Roosevelt plank puts the
party behind repeal.
1t is the difference be-
tween courageous leader
ship and the utter lack Of
leadership.
The Hoover plank retains
in the Federal Government
the power which makes
Federal interference with
State rights and home rule
perpetual and will continue
all the mockery of enforce
ment; the Roosevelt plank
passes the power back to
the States.
But there is another diff
ference which is vital: The
Roosevelt declaration is for
the immediate repeal of
the Volstead act without
waiting four years on the
gamble of a repeal Of the
amendment, and the Hoover
position is to keep the Vol
stead act until there is a
repeal of the amendment.
Under the Democratic
plan the breweries will be
opened, hundreds of thou
sands of men will be put
to work, and hundreds of
millions of revenue will be
brought in.

WE HAv A,v E .,1,t frequently tSst ng
sincere opponent of national
prohibition, no matter what
his party affiliations, can
possibly justify himself to
his conscience in voting for
Mr.. Hoover.
We have pointed out the
fact, which looms like a
mountain, that the issue on
prohibition has been made
clear as crystal and have
called upon all who clamor
for the ending of the mobile
experiment" now to "put up
or shut up"
Four years ago the issue,
while clear, was not half so
clear as it is today; but dis
tinct as it was then vast num-
bers of antiprohibitionists
went to the polls and voted
with the Anti-Saloon League.
These justified themselves
with self-sophistication. They
had been told, in whispers
with winks, to "leave it to
Hoover. They left it there
and it is there yet.
The issue was thoroughly
threshed out in the two con-
ventions this year. I was at
both and witnessed the
fights. 1t was the outstand-
ing fight in the Hoover con-
vention and the Hoover ad-
ministration group in the
convention defeated the plan
of honest foes of the
Eighteenth Amendment for
a straight declaration for
repeal.
In the Democratic conven-
ton a straight, honest dec
laration for the repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, to-
gether with a pledge for the
immediate repeal of the Vol
stead act after March 4, was
adopted with a tremendous
majority.
Thus the issue was made
clear enough.
