The campaign to repeal the 18th

ing rapidly on the momentum of a
series of 18 victories and no defeats,
today entered Tennessee, another
state of the so-called "solidly dry"
south where 10th victory seemed
probable.
Oregon passes on the issue tomor-
row and there was the strongest
likelihood that it would become the
20th state to approve ratification
of the 2st (repeaD amendment.
Thirty-six states must approve
before national prohibition is end
ed. If all states in which elections
will be held between now and No
vember vote wet, repealists will
be one short of their goal. A spe-
cial session of the Utah legislature
received proposal that the state
hold its repeal election November

The Virginia legislature meets
early in August.
1t was most likely that If not
Utah or Virginia, either Louisiana,
Oklahoma or Montana would hold
an election this year. If any one
of these states voted wet it would
provide repealists with the 36th
state needed for ratification.

ALcER TALE GOES WRONG
(The Pensacola Journal)

The story about the country lad who
went to the city, worked hard to make mon
ey, and finally returned, rich, to his old
home town to enjoy peaceful old age is
one of the most popular tales that ever gets
told.
Its plot takes an ironic twist, however,
in thesadventHre Of John McKinstfy of Ire
land.
McKinstry left Ireland for New York
years.agO to make his fortune The jobs he
got in New York were nothing much, but
he worked hard and saved money; and
this year, after SO years Of toll, with up
ward of $4,000 saved, he returned to Ire
land togo back to the scenes of his youth
and ehjovlife.
but things had changed in those SO
years. The town didn't look the same.
His old friends and relatives were gone. Mo-
body knew him, even remembered his name
and nobody could tell him anything about
his family. Instead Of returning to a
pleasant old age, he found that he had
come back to loneliness and disappoint-
ment.
The shock made him i'll. He spent
weeks in hospital, and on his recovery
he said he was going to head back to New
York. His home town meant nothing to
him and his money meant nothing. He
had scraped and shaved all his life for
nothing. at
The whole pathetic little. story is a
sardonic sort of warning for youthful am
bition.
All of US, at one time or another, get
anidea similar to the one about which Nc
Kinstry built his life; the idea that we shall
deny ourselves this, that, and the other
thing throughout youth and middle age, SO
that. when the end Of life approaches, we
can take things easy and ienjoy the good
things we missed when we were younger.
But the man who does It runs the
chance of discovering, toolate, that putting
OFF enjoyment too long is apt to mean miss
ing it altogether. Save your good times
for your old age and you are gambling with
time.

E. D. Lambert, editor of the
Tampa (Florida) Morning Tribune,
says:
when the president wanted to
carry the story and message of
the NRA TO every employer and
employee, every seller and buyer,
every office, store and home, in
every city, town, hamlet and
crossroads in the country, upon
what agency did he depend to do
the work? The NEWSPAPER.
And the NEWSPAPER did it!
within "a hours, or less, every
individual in the United States
able to read or to hear somebody
else read, knew about the NRA,
what it was, what it proposed, what
each person and association of per-
sons was expected to do about it,
for it and with it.
$50 the NEWSPAPER has made
possible nationwide knowledge of
every nationwide movement that
has been started since presses be-
gan turning out newspapers and
wires began speeding to their col
umns everything worthwhile that
was happening or was about to
happen.
"The mighty power of the
newspaper is at the command of
the legitimate advertiser. AS it
carries the message and appeal
Of every manufacturer or dealer
who has something to sell and
wants the people to know it.
The newspaper is the messen-
ger of news, Of governmental pro-
grams, of social and scientific dis
eovery and achievement. 1t is also
the messenger of commerce, of
trade, of maker to user, of seller
to buyer"

anti-crime activities are wholly in the control of the various states
 and counties. It would seem that
 the time Is ripe for the govern
 ment to step in and end the chaos Of racketeering, Kidnapping, murders and other crimes of violence which
 are conducted not in one city or one state, but all over the nation. The only objection to such pro-
 cedure is academic. that the states should not be deprived their rights. This objection, we believe, will not stand against the overwhelming arguments favoring a federal policy of crime-repression. A government that has assumed power over all banks, that proposes to regulate all business for the good of the people, that has chased narcotic suspects, mail robbers and auto thieves across state lines, should not balk at the further step of starting a nation wide war against crime, Certainly
 there will be no objection to such action from the majority of people. -Ex.

WHY A PR0GRAMf

Less than bU persons, including the children present, attended the program given the morning of the Fourth at the Coliseum The first number was delayed for a time in the hopes Of better attendance, and it was with a sense of facing an empty house that the chorus led in the singing ot America when Mayor DalgIty announced the open ing of the program.
 The disturbances that we com- plain aDout each year and then for get about until they recur were not apsent Three boys old enough to Know better conversed audibly for a time The reading of the Decla- ration or Independence was pune tuated with staccato reports from Just outside the Coliseum. Fortu- nately the address was not thus disturbed.
 The effort that went into the making of a program that only a few came out to attend included the decoration Of the theater, the preparation of two young people and a speaker, and three evenings given by eight people to song prac- tice. A piano was brought from the school to the nall. Programs were printed.
 Of course, patriotic programs are very much alike and 10:30 is early for a holiday, and we are busiest ill the summer time and tired. How ever, that goes for performers as well as for the audience and ill fairness to those who promise to take part and let nothing inter fere with that promise, the attend ance should be better. The Memo rial Day program packed the hall, and if a Fourth of July program means anything at all and Is worth any effort, it is hoped that all or ganizations of Wrangell as we'll as individuals will plan to give it the proper encouragement another time.
