SUPPORT
D|SPENSARY

Liberal drys in Arlington
county will not seek local option
unless the dispensary plan pro:
posed there fails, it was learned
today.
Prices Of liquor would be
much cheaper than those now
charged in Washington, it was
claimed, and the liberals on the
dry side believe It would be
folly to kill the dispenSary sale
plan before it is tried out.
They say the entire business
would then be carried outside
the State into the District of
Columbia and Maryland.

JockeyCIub

At Fifth and Florida Avenue
Northeast, where the Jockey Club
is located, there are no parking
troubles. Thousands of feet of
open space, occupy your quota and
no charge.
Managing Director Jack White
maintains the friendly atmosphere
Of the race track and the cheerful
holiday spirit in this rendezvous
of fun. The dining stalls are
named after famous thorough.
breds, the girl mattresses and even
the menu cards will remind pat
rons of the track programs.
This week the club is featuring
the Belanco Twins, a sensational
dance team, which went over big
their opening night. The Three
Kings, a harmony trio, put on a
great act and were we'll received
by the customers.
The Jockey Club orchestra,
directed by AL Massie, continues
to serve the most acceptable tunes,
much to the delight of the

Lotus Revue
Held Over

Showing without doubt that
Manager Lam has uncanny ability
in picking out his floor shows, the
whole revue at the Lotus has been
held over for another week. So
popular were the Lenora Girls,
Beverly and Ravel the Kittle Sis
ters, and all of the other prin-
cipals in this mammoth New York
show, the patrons demanded that
they get another look at them.
Mr.. Lam wisely agreed.
Besides being noted for its ex.
cellent entertainment, this popu-
lar Chinese-American restaurant
Is fast building up it's reputation
for its cuisine. Chin Hong, the
Lotus chef, is as adept at prepar-
ing American dishes as he is at
cooking real Oriental food that is
slightly different.
No floor show can be Well-pre-
sented without the proper accom-.
paniment from the orchestra. And
Bill Strickland and his Capitol
1ans do more than their share in
backing up this statement. All the
trouperS that visit the Lotus are
loud in their praises for Bill and
the boys. Of course, no story
about Maestro Strickland could be
written that did not include his
vocalistS. Judy Ellington, Lew
Davie and AL Norton, whose popu-
larity are well-knoWn.

on the Washington Baltimore
Boulevard, two miles beyond
Maryland University, moves into
the month of December and prom
ises their patrons continued high
grade floor shows, tasty food, ex-
cellent music and inexpensive
prices.
Tofey Admy, well-known theat.
rical man and director of the floor
shows at the Ranch is the man re-
sponsible for the fine array of tai.
ent that ranch patrons have been
seeing of late. For the coming
week, beginning tonight he offers
a surprise act in the famous Jor.
dan Sisters, billed as sensational
Bolero dancers. Mr.. Admy got
this act direct from the Greystone
Mite Club in Detroit and he says
they will prove as much a sensa-
ton in Washington as they were
in Detroit. Other acts on the bill
this week are Marion Lee, dancer,
Odie Miller, M. C.
Ralph Garren continues to
please at the Ranch with a brand
of music that is truly excellent,
his orchestra consisting of expert
enced and versatile musicians.
Not only is the Ranch we'll

food there is declared to be mighty
good and served at city prices.

of those real big nights in Wash

ingly different in night clubs-the
new Club L'Hiver at Maryland

gotten over talking about this
gala opening.
The opening witnessed a new
kind of revue-the Continental

quite unique. Featured in the
revue are Janis and Jeanet, a
dance team with real French

Sensational Fan Dancer Heads
Cotton Club Floor Show

With the holiday season now
in full swing, Washington social
ties are turning out in full force
at the Cotton Club after the many
dinners and dances. Realizing the
reputation that the club is getting
for its entertainment, Manager
Lou Hurwit and company are
making regular trips out of town
looking for real talent. And what
a collection of 1t they have in
store for their patrons.
But for the present, Amy Spen.
GER, the fiery redheaded fan
dancer, is holding the spotlight of
attention. Many think her dance
is more daring and more artistic
than that of Sally Rand. Another
star who took Ethel Waters place
in the last Cotton Club Revue in
New York is Sally Gooding. Her
singing is the best heard in Wash.

Favorable conditions undoubtedly
account for some of this but they do
not explain why these prices were not

stepped in.
1t may be that private initiative
can do better than the government in
these matters but it never seems to
except when under competition.
Right here in st. Paul a private
utility seeks another franchise. But
it doesn't offer very much as an in
ducement to the public. Most of the
alleged benefits are in the future.
There are no substantial rate reduc-
lions proposed now.
Most of us have been taught to
shrink away from the wastes of po-
litically-managed, public-owned utili-
ties. If private operation can do bet
ter than public, now is the time to
demonstrate it's superior efficiency by
lower rates right here in ST. Paul.

BAD ADVERTISING

Newspapers are frequently con-
demned for accepting advertising
which tends to tear down progress or
which smacks of unsavory practices
and laws have been passed governing
the limit to which a newspaper can
go toward advertising raffles and
other games of chance. With all this
i'm mind and with due allowances for
the young and growing radio babe we
have a whole lot to say about the
present-day radio broadcasts.
In the first place it is difficult to
tune in on a program coming over the
air nowadays that does not, during
some part of it, interrupt with the
announcement that some article either
large or small, valuable or not valu-
able, is to be given away-yes, abso-
lutely free.
Another thing which seems peculiar
was a radio program depicting card
playing for money. We all know that
there are laws against gambling and
it is strange to us how such programs
can be broadcast to the ears of young
America when they are in direct vio-
lation to what the law will have us
do in real life. In other words the
courts tell us we shall not gamble
and in turn we are to teach our chill
dren that they must not gamble in
violation of the law and then the same
laws haven't caught up to the fact
that the actors and actresses on the
air are making it appealing and real
to the so-restricted public.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

February is significant to Amer
leans because it is a month OF BIRTH
days of our two greatest presidents
George Washington. the father, and
Abraham Lincoln, the savior of our
country.
1t was Lincoln who piloted the cOun-
try through terrible revolution into
a safe and calm port and it was he
whose steady hand and gallant soul
wrote freedom for the slaves and gave
the negro more equal rights with the
white race.
Like most great men his deeds were
not fully realized until after he had
long since been dead by the hand OF
crazed assassin. But it is Lincoln
who is mentioned now when deeds of
honesty are spoken of.
His immortal words at Gettysburg
are on the lips of modern day speak
ers and students. A high niche in the
achievements of the world belongs to
this true servant of the common peO-
pie. America will observe his birth
day February ~.

HOIDALE HAS GOOD IDEA
alexandria EchO)

Congressman HOidale is drafting d
law that if held constitutional, would
go a long way to secure the cOnvic-
tions of criminals. The proposed law
would permit courts and juries to con-
Wet criminals, on other than the al
legged crime for which they were tried.
He cited the trial of William
Hamm, Jr., who was kidnapped, and
the verdict of not guilty rendered, al
though the foreman of the jury has
stated that they knew the men on
trial were gangsters.
In the trial of the TOuhy gang in
Chicago, their attorney admits they
were in the bootlegging business as
gangsters. Under the proposed Hoidale
law they could be convicted of this
crime, even if the evidence is not con-
vincing of their kidnapping. A law as
proposed would secure convictions of
notorious criminals, who now too
often escape.

crowd had their lobbyists in full force
to prevent the enactment of an ade-
quate income tax law that might have
balanced the budget from the incomes
of those who could afford to pay.
Wisconsin legislators who in the
regular session were not too far away
from the sales tax philosophy can
well take heed of Michigan's exper-
fence. Reverse the situation, and the
business men of Marinette would be
voicing the same complaint that is
coming from the business men Of
Menominee.
Speaking of business moving out"
where could better example Of this
condition be found than in the situa-
ton that confronts Menominee? Here
is an argument AGAINST sales taxa
ton that will provoke no convincing
rebuttal.

"ROUGHNECK JOURNALISM"
(The Mortified NewS)

The difference between the news
paper that is circumspect and digni-
fled and the one that s"loud-mouthed"
and "heard all over the state" can
all be traced directly to the funda-
mental concept or philosophy of jour-
nalism underlying their policies. Edi-
tOrial pages that are written for the
edification of other newspaper editors
are always more flamboyant and
"loud-mouthed" because they treat of
problems and personalities far from
home, but in doing so they shirk the
more difficult editorial leadership at
home, which is the chief RESPONSE
bility of the country newspaper. Those
newspapers whose news and editorial
policies are keyed to the ideal of
community service, discussing local
problems of direct and vital concern
to their readers, cannot afford to be
other than circumspect, dignified, cor
rect. The subjects they discuss, while,
they may not seem sufficiently ex-
citing to the other editors perusing
the "exchcanges, are the major in
terests of their paid subscribers. A
country editor who respects the intel
igence of his readers, most of whom
are his friends and neighbors, cannot
be blatant in conversing with them,
or in trying to persuade or to amuse
them. "Roughneck journalism" sim
ply doesn't click with decent country
folks If they have an ounce of spunk
in 'em.
