Predicting that all six States that
vote today on repeal will give majori-
ties for it, Jouett Shouse, president of
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, last night said In an ad-
dress that there must be no return to
the "hagrant abuses" of the old liquor
system.
Those abuses" he said, helped to
bring about the unfortunate experiment
of national prohibition. They must be
guarded against in every proper way"
His speech was broadcast by the Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System.
There must be no return to the
ownership of places Of retail sale by
brewers and distillers," Shouse asserted.
Control of the liquor business must
be kept in the right hands. The un-
holy alliance with politics must not be
renewed,

made must be enforced. And yet we

SAFEGUARDS ASKED
ION LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Forest Hills Citizens Associ-
alton Would Protect Homes,
Ban Saloons.

Anticipating repeal of prohibition. the
Forest Hills Citizens Association, meet
ing at the Ben Murch School last night,
adopted resolution asking proper reg
ulations to govern liquor traffic in the
district
The sense of this bill was, first, that
the new laws protect the home, schools
and church, second, that the old saloon
be barred, and third, that tax will
be levied on the business for regulation
rather than revenue to avoid the con-
tinuance of bootlegging. A copy Of this
resolution is to be sent to the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations.
This action was taken after the fed
Grafton had asked its member bodies
to propose ways and means of controll-
ing liquor.
A bill suggesting survey Of the
Keep to the Right" signs on the load
ing platforms be made and that they
be removed when not in force will be
sent to the federation.
Maj. E. w. Brown, superintendent Of
the Police Department, was supported
by a petition to be sent to the Com
missioners asking that the personnel of
the Police Department be increased
rather than lowered any further due
to lack Of appropriations.
The body went on record as desiring
that adequate school room facilities be
made at the Alice Deal Junior High
School to relieve the overcrowding at
other schools in that vicinity.

Halls DRY ACTION !
l BY CONVENTIONS.
Federal Judge Says Method
Is Accurate Barometer
of Public Opinion.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November Federal
Judge William Clark of New Jersey,
who, on December Is, 1880, held the
eighteenth amendment to have been
invalidly adoptd, said that prohibition
has taught the American people two
important lessons:
/. Law should be CONCEALED public
opinion.
2. That ratification by conventions
is the accurate means to obtain con-
sent of the governed to constitutional
amendment.
1t was on the second premise that
Judge Clark, youthful scholar and
World War veteran, sought to wipe out
the amendment in 1880. The United
States Supreme Court set aside his
decision.
Accurate Method Found.
1.-The second lesson is new" he said
in a statement, I'VE have discovered a
method whereby consent of the gov
erned to constitutional amendment can
be accurately ascertained This prev
iously untried machinery permits the
people to express their real opinion OF
any proposed changes in their organic
charter
Conventions assure us that our con-
stitution is being amended because
that is our intention. Legislative rati-
fication reflects the will of some or
ganized minority acting under legisla-
tors, elected without reference to the
issue or else interested In their own
election and not in the issue.
Submission to conventions was in
cluded in the original Constitution, but
never before utilized by Congress. Now
that we have seen it work we can
again admire the wisdom of the trainers.
All-Time Speed Record.
by the same token we can once more
wonder at those pathfinders, the legal
profession. These gentry by their
prophecies of doom tried to force ad-
herence to the old legislative method
Ratification by conventions, they said,
was too expensive. In New Jersey it
cost S58,000-less than legislative ses-
sion.
''It would take too long. It has taken
nine months-an all-time speed record
1t was so complicated that some con-
ventions would be set up illegally. Five
courts In five States have upheld five
different forms of conventions.
Prohibition has proved an error in
the trial and error of government. Rati-
fication by conventions should prove a
permanent improvement in constitu-
tional procedure and thus help in pre-
venting such errors in the future"

COTTON EXPORTS
TO JAPAN SOAR
Unusual Demand Brings Gain
of 10 Per Cent Over
Last Year.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Unusually heavy exports Of American
cotton so far this season were credited
yesterday by the Department Of Agri-
culture to record demands by Japan.
Japan's requirements were said to
have been caused by the fact that jap
anese cotton interests have agreed not
to buy Indian cotton as a protest
against the rs per cent tariff on non
British goods which went into effect
in June.
The department reported that dur
ing the first two months of this season
total exports Of American cotton were
the largest for any Ike period in the
history of domestic exports.
Carryover to Be High.
Consumption by domestic mills was
and consumption combined resulting In
larger disappearance of the United
States product than for any other SIM
liar period.
Present indications, the summary said
are that because of increased foreign
production and a larger carryover Of
foreign cotton, the world supply In
1884 will be somewhat larger" than
in either Of the two preceding seasons
despite the reduction of approximately
l,500 900 bales in the American supply
Is Per Cent Gain.
September exports Of American cotton
totaled 869, 900 running bales, or Is per
cent more than in September last year
and Sc per cent more than in 1881. For
the two months ended September SO
total exports from the United States
were 1,400,0 bales-214, 900, or 18 per
cent, larger than in the corresponding
period of last season and the largest for
the corresponding period in the history
Of the export trade.
September cotton mill consumption
in the United States amounted to
$4,000 running bales, approximately
10000 bales, or is per cent less than
in August and % per cent below the
June peak, but the largest for the
month of September since 1929.
