Local Option
Theory and Practice


theoretically the proposal that local option govern the
sale of liquor in the District is emnently just and fair
It would osensiby give the residents Of any given COM
uny the chance to determine how the problem shall be
handled in their respective neighborhoods
No one regardless of his views the handling Of liquor
should be able to quarrel with that idea.
But practically, the local option proposal in Washington
gives rise to serious questions.
Outstanding among these questions
How shall he city be divided into districts7
How shs sentiment within the districts be determined
after they establshed7
The nearest approach that Washington has to division
by districts is the system in by the various citizens as
socaons These have set boundaries for themselves but
It highly doubtful these boundaries would be accepted

liquor control
The purpose of the local option proposal undoubtedly
to prevent sale Of liquor in residential in which
public sentiment favors such
This purpose might be accomplished through application

this could be covered by the coming laws it might be
covered by requiring that the persons applying for Ii

Of majority of jewellers within certain radius Of the site
of his proposed establishment
AS to the question of determining the sentiment Of resi-

The city has machinery for permitting its citizens to
vote. It has qualifications for voters.

Nons would require considerable time
Also it would considerably money.
While these delays being added to the time which
will be required to get local liquor law through Congress
the booegger and the peakeasy will continue to flourish
and the District will lose the which otherwise 1t
would be obtaining through the legalzed beverages
That delay and that might be worth while if would
be paid by of satisfactory and effective law
The local option proposal has much to commend it. It
also many practical objections which might be raised
against it.

I was "out in company" The
suddenly clammy hands - the
big, gangly feet-the jagged sob
that Wedged in my throat as the
lonely hours crept along.
How dreadful it was to be left

heavenly time, laughing, chat

ease. But of course was diff

And if they but knew it,
they could end their misery in

Why are we "self-conscious"?
We're self-consciouS because
we're conscious of Self. Now,
it's all very well to be con-
scious of Self if you have the
right slant on your Self-but
most self-consciouS people
haven't. For they believe that
their Self is different from all

they have hurts and handicaps
unknown to normal people.
Why do they believe this?
Partly because they're afraid;
partly because they're con-

Assistant Secretary of State
Caffery succeeded Assistant
of Secretary of State Welles as
our ambassador to troubled
Cuba. It has been no special
secret that Sumner Welles could
scare up no enthusiasm for the
present radical government now
in power at Havana. Nobody
knows yet what particular slant
Ambassador Caffery will take,
but it is perfectly plain that
the situation in Cuba is not
very far from anarchy.
Reports that come to this
writer, in private letters as
well as from news dispatches,
indicate that business is almost
completely paralyzed; that tax
revenues have melted away and
that throughout the island is
a general feeling of hopeless
ness. It seems only a ques-
ton of time when the United
States may have to step in.
Some of these days-and the
flash may come at any hour,
depending on how much vio-
lence is left in the Cuban
cosmos-we probably will read
those familiar words: The
Marines have landed and the
situation is we'll in hand"

the man who is very likely to

capped the whole striking per-
Torrance by an act of individ-
ual, personal bravery that is
hard to match in our military
annals.
Along about 1922 the island
of Santo Domingo was COM
pletely over-run by robber
gangs. These bandits devas-
tated the land.
Then the job was turned over
to Lyman, who was then a col

this about a green rose, any

It is a little discouraging for
those of us who work our
fingers to the bone backing
away at a typewriter year in

there are more people interested
in green roses than there are
in the little gems we put out

are plenty of green carnations

are roses of practically every

for Sensationalism? In our

point where we must have

THE GREEN ROSE
By ROBERT BENCHLEY

A few weeks ago, in New
York, an executive of the Hor-
ticultural Society was kidding
around with some newspaper
reporters (you know how those
Horticultural Society boys are
never serious for a minute)
and, when the fun was at its
height, he happened to let drop
a joking remark that the So

group and leader, the band COM
manded by a kind of Santo
Domingo Robin Hood, Ramon
Nateras. Knowing that the jig
was up, Nateras sent word that
he was willing to surrender UNI
der certain conditions.
Colonel Lyman, accompanied
only by Captain Gilchrist, a
staff officer, and E. I. Kill
bourne, a sugar grower, met
Nateras and his men in the
heart of the jungle. The meet"
ing was held in clearing con-
tanning several shacks and a
store.
The robber chief said imn1e-
diately that he would not sur
render if he had to be taken
to any community where the
Marines we're in charge. A
bandit named Vicentlco had
been shot and killed by a Ma
rine sentinel while trying to
escape, and Nateras f e are d
some such fate might fall to
him. Colonel Lyman offered
to leave Captain Gilchrist, his
staff officer, as a hostage, II
Nateras would surrender. but
Nateras declined to accept one
of the rank of captain as host
age for one so exalted as him
self.
Whereupon Colonel Lyman,
without a moments hesitation,
said to the bandit leader: Very
well, Nateras. l will be host
age myself. There can be no
question about rank if I offer
myself as security for your
life" Nateras could not refuse.
Nateras left Jhe clearing with
Captain Glchlist, while the
Marine officer remained, alone
and unarmed, in the midst Of
the sullen, desperate bandits,
every man of them a killer:
with no more conjunction
about taking human life than
they would have had about
shooting a wild pig in the
jungle. And there for hours,
calmly smoking a cigar or walk
ing up and down in the clear
ing, ringed about by men re-
sentfully lingering rifle or plS'
tol or razor-sharp machete, Ly'
man waited until word came
that Nateras was safe.
And when he was permitted
to go the men of Nateras, with
no love for any Marine-men
whose favorite sport had been
shooting MarineS-raised a wild
yell of tribute to this Marine
officer who had shown them
the true and perfect color OF
courage.
