AFTER BEER, WHAT?

Now that beer has been assured for South Caro-
lina-through elected representatives chosen with
out any reference to the prohibition question--thc
spotlight turns naturally to the matter of repeal.
The people were denied the right to vote on beer
but that will not be the far as repeal of the
18th amendment is concerned. The convention
which decides if South Carolina will go in the ranks
of repealsts or antirepealists will be elected and
what is impOrtant-the delegates will vote
according to the decision made at the polls
The vets have scored no doubt about that, but
the victory is in the form of gift from legisla-
ture which no more represented the wet and dry
wishes of the South Caronians than would that
of some other states. Legalization of beer how
ever it was brought about will be used, though,
as a lever to secure repeal of the 18th amendment
and that fact must be recognized by those who op-
pose a return to conditions in effect before any
restrictions were put on alcoholic beverages.
Those who have been pulling for beer and Civ
ing the general impression their fight was for beer
and beer only will now take off the mask and train
their biggest guns on the ant-repealists. The first
skirmsh is ended and the real campaign will now
be started The beer victory will hearten the vets
to greater efforts and the prohibtiOnsts must con-
slider that fact and drive harder than ever if they
hope to prevent return to all that alcoholism
ever meant IS c. Mail

There was no public acclaim

Infinitely different was Ramsey
MaCDonald's next appearance on
the American scene. The wheel

he was entitled to full diplomatic

Now. once more, Ramsay Mac

He is still prime minister-but

peal taken by the State Of Massachu-
setts to the decision Of Judge James A.
Lowell in granting habeas corpus to a
colored man wanted for murder in Vir-
ginia when 1t set May % as the date of
hearing.
Judge Lowell granted the writ halt
ing tradition Of George Crawford in a
decision that brought a storm of protest
from Virginians and action to impeach
him in Congress. He said ultimate con-
viction of Crawford in Virginia would
be nullified by the Supreme Court be-
cause colored people did not serve on
juries in the Southern State. Gov.
Joseph B. Ely previously had ordered
Crawford extradited.
The Circuit Court will meet in spe-
cial special session at the request Of
counsel for Crawford and with the ap-
proval Of Massachusetts, authorities who
took the appeal. Judge George H.
Bingham set the date for the special
session.

Boston lawyer and former president Of

CHARACTER PLEA.
Organizations Necessary for

She Says on Radio.

Character building organizations are
necessary to prevent future citizens
from going wrong, Mrs. Mary T. Nor
ton, chairman of the House District
Committee, declared last night in a
speech over the Community Forum of
Station WMAL. The Forum Is spon-
sored by the Community Chest and
the National Broadcasting Co.
Mrs. Norton was introduced by Ell

Chest, who praised Mrs. Norton as
mayor of Washington" for her inter
est In charitable and philanthropic
work, both here and in her State, New
Jersey.
"A large percentage of juvenile de-
linquency Is attributed to unwhole-
some surroundings such as unsatisfac-
tory family environments, evil asso-
Citations. lack of parental interest in
child welfare, and other factors" Mrs
Norton said. Il would say that the
seed is planted in the home.
Homes where parents are unable,
for one reason or another, to supervise
the moral training of their offspring
or being so able, are Indifferent to the
childs welfare, have sent many Of cur
young of on the road to crime. Don't
labor under the impression that all Ct

homes where poverty and squalor are
prevalent. Many, in fact. are reared
in homes where the comforts of life
are plentiful and where, unfortunately.

are not so plentiful
What can one expect for q child
whose little mind, from the cradle to
youth. has absorbed nothing more ele-
waiting than endless pickering and
drinking and other incidents in the
home that would have made the fam
lily outcast a generation ago?"
Mrs. Norton paid a high tribute to
the work Of the Juvenile Protective As
sociation in caring for delinquent chill
dren and in preventing further delin-
quency. She also spoke of the splen-
did work that is being done by the
Boys Clubs, Settlement Houses. Scouts
and the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. w. C

Judiciary Committee Takes
Matter Up in Executive Ses-

The House Judiciary Committee to-
day considered in executive session the
resolution adopted by the House d.
recting an investigation of the conduct
in office Of Federal Judge James A.
Lowell Of Boston for freeing George
Crawford, colored. wanted in Middle
burg, Va, for the murder there, in
January, 1882, of Mrs. Spencer Ilsley
and her maid, Nina Buckner.
Aside from the bare announcement
that the committee had considered"
the case, Chairman Summers declined
to make any comment. He indicated
the committee regarded the case as ex-
ceedingly delicate and probably would
guard all its deliberations with utmost
secrecy.
The committee, however, Is under
stood to have discussed the procedure
to be followed, although the investiga-
ton is not expected to be actually un-
dertaken until the United States Court
Of Circuit Appeals In Boston disposes
of an appeal taken by the State of
Massachusetts, from the decision of
Judge Lowell in granting a writ Of
habeas corpus which halted Crawford's
extradition to Virginia. Hearing on the
appeal has been set for May %.
Representative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia, who introduced the resolution
providing for the investigation. was not
invited to the Judiciary Committees
executive meeting, but he is known to
be keeping in close touch with develop
ments. Smith has promised to use
every weapon at his command to have
Judge Lowell removed from the bench

WORKERS Benefited

Statistics Show More Men Worked

That the lumber code Is proving a
boon to workers in the industry is
shown by statement made to the ad-
ministration, based upon reports Of op-
orators to the Lumber Code Authority.
While a vastly greater number of re-
turns have been received, exact COM
parisons can be drawn from only the
735 establishments whose figures cover
identical periods in both July and Sep
tember.
Tabulation shows that although these
operators employed in September total
average Of 64,585 subject to code wage
changes, an increase Of 5 per cent over
the 61,511 similar workers engaged dur
ing the same period in July, they
worked total Of only 9.449, ,543 man
hours in September as against 1923 ,280

In spite of the marked reduction in
total working time, however. they re-
ceived total September wage of $4,-

the s3.916.52 paid for the greater num-
Der of hours in July. The weighted
rate per hour went up from 80. cents
in July to 4G.15 cents in September, an
increese of 81 per cent The most
startling comparison, however, is in the
weighted average per hour of lowest
wages paid This figure rose from 22.3
cents in July to 339 cents in Septem-
