FIGHTING JUST BEGUN

0OT and out repeal of the 18th amend
" ment to the constitution, was ap-
proved yesterday by the United States
senate, marking the first real major
victory by the vets in the long fight
against prohibition.
The senate approved repeal by a vote
of 63 to % and the resolution now goes to
the house of representatives for action
by that body. Despite an earlier state
ment by Speaker Garner, following fail
ure of repeal resolution on the open-
ing day last December, that he would not
permit repeal to be taken up again, the
senates action caused him to reverse
himself and the lower house will act
within the next few days on the senate
resolution and approval is expected
Following that the measure will be
submitted to conventions of the various
states for ratification Such action must
be taken by at least SO states within the
next seven years, TO remove the 18th
amendment from the constitution. The
method of holding the conventions and
manner of electing delegates to them, is
left to the individual states.
The measure approved by the senate
is for naked" repeal, no provision be-
ing made for barring the return of the
Saloon--a fact that Is disappointing to
many vets who hoped that some such
provision would be made 1t is pointed
out, however, that the Webb-Kenyon bill,
applying to the transportation of liquor
between states. will protect those states
wishing to remain dry.
Contrary to the belief of some, the
resolution passed by the senate and which
will be acted upon by the house, does not
go to the President for signature. The
constitution can be amended by the vote
of two-thirds of congress, followed by
ratification by three-fourths of the states.
Yesterdays vote in the senate was given
two-thirds approval. Similar action
by the house will place the prohibition
issue squarely up to the people.
Predicting the outcome of repeal when
submitted to the states is difficult. 1t
is certainty that the wet and dry fight,
instead of being confined to one body
congress-as has been the case for the
past Ia years, will now be staged in each
of the 48 states as the opposing forces
contend in the state conventions. The
next few years can be depended upon to
provide plenty of fighting.

find something to anluSe you"
THAT will be funl" said Baby
Bunty. Hurry backi" she called
after Mr.. Longears as he hoped
down the stairs.
II WILL" he promised. 1t did not
take him long to get to the toy
store and as he entered the jolly
old dog gentleman who kept the
place was spinning a big red top on
the counter. AS the top spun
around it made music and Uncle
Wiggily said:
"Oh, what a jolly top. What
makes it play music?"
Because it is musical top" an
swered the store dog. Inside it
has some keys or music jiggers
like those in mouth organ and as
the top spins it makes a breeze
! like an electric fan and this breeze
blows on the musical jiggers and
the top plays"
THAT will be the very thing for
Baby Bunty," said Uncle Wiggily
as he stretched out one paw to-
ward the musical top.
Don't touch it! Don't touch it,"
barked the store dog.
why not?" asked the rabbit.
"If you touch the top it will stop
| making music" was the answer.
mot only that but 1t goes so fast
that it may nick the fur off your
paw if you touch it when it is going
around so fast"
"Oh. then I won't touch it," said
Uncle Wiggily. So he watched the
top spin on the counter. After a
while the music faded away and
soon the top, instead of standing
up straight and whirling around
| began to wobble from side to side.
Whats it doing that for?" ask
ed the rabbit gentleman.
TITS almost done spinning" said
the dog. 1T needs winding up
again. Do you want to buy this
music top?"
Yes" answered Mr. Longears
'you show me how it works and
I'll take it to Baby Bunty who is
home ill in bed with a cold"
So the store dog showed the rab-
/ bit how to wind a string around
the top and, by pulling it off quick
ly. to spin it SO it played music
Then, putting the top in his pock-
ct, Uncle Wiggily started to hof
back to the bungalow. But some
thing happened. I'll tell you about
it in the next story which vii

FAIRNESS TO FOREIGNERS

THE HUE and cry following the at
l tempted assassination of Mr.. Roose-
velt is directed chiefly toward foreign
ers, because the would-be assassin is
of Italian BIRTH though he is a natural
lied American citizen.
There is grave danger of an injustice
being done many excellent citizens of
foreign birth, who are Just as loyal to
the United States. Just as proud of be-
ing American citizens, just as true to its
government as are the descendants of
the Mayflower'S passengers.
1t is not fair to condemn all foreign
ers because some in that class transgress
the laws. American born citizens also
transgress them.
There is need for strict enforcement
OF the immigration laws. The United
States should not admit any who are
known to be anarchists or radicals
who will not adopt American ideals and
uphold American institutions. Such as
are admitted, and who are found vio-
lating the laws, should be deported. In
this respect, change in the deporta-
tion law, to permit easier deportation
of undesirables, should be given atten-
ton
But the foreigner who comes to this
country and makes his home here, be-
coming a good citizen himself and rails
ing his children as Americans, should
not be subjected to embarrassment or
censure just because he happens to be
foreigner. The United States owes too
much to the part foreigners have played
i'll its development, to hold up the for
eigner to ridicule.
In condemning foreigners indiscrimi-
nately, because Zangara is foreigner,
it should be remembered that John
Wilkes Booth and Charles Guiteau were
American born. One shot Lincoln and
the other killed Garfield
Lots of persons would call Huey P.
Long more serious names than his
brother called him.
California papers have very generous
ly refrained from criticizing Florida for
the Roosevelt incident.
After being wet all through these
years of prohibition, the senate finally
decided to admit it publicly.

CHURCH. NOTES

From the time that primitive man first realized the difference between right and wrong until the present, men have continually faced the choice of doing the evil or the good. The clothes in which the real issue is dressed change repeatedly, but the clements remain. the same. From the time of Moses, who chall- |enged the ancient Hebrews to keep allegiance to Jehovah, through the ancient prophets who decreed SOC ial injustice and called the people to fairness, through Jesus who set higher standards of conduct and gave nobler idea of God, down to the present day. men and wo- men have had to choose. They must choose in social and indfvi- dual lives whether they shall be. lieve and act according to love or to force, according to faith in the power of goodness or in the power of selfishness and greed or a blind material force.
