Wilbur La Roe. jr., says: "The
A. B. G. Board is too busy granting
licenses and reversing itself to please
politicians to devote any time to this
matter. The plastering Of the city
with blatant Neon signs inviting
people to buy liquor is . queer sort
Of temperance education"
Notwithstanding its recognition Of
the need for this work, the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board has never
suggested addition of such a require
ment to the District law nor re-
quested Congress to provide the
nominal funds necessary to finance
a temperance education corollary to
alert liquor control administration.

omission.
In proclaiming repeal of the
eighteenth amendment on December
5, 1888, the President said, in part:
THE policy of the Govern
ment will be to see to it that the
social and political evils that
have existed In the pre-prohibi-
. ton era shall not be revived nor
permitted again to exist -.
II trust in the good sense of
the American people that they
will not bring upon themselves
the curse Of excessive use of in
toxicating liquors, to the detri-
ment of health, morals and So
cial integrity.
THE objective we seek through
a national policy is the education
of everycitizen toward greater
temperance throughout the Ma
tion."
There is no language either by
declaration of legislative policy or
express provision in the District law,
as in some States, calling for tenn
perance education as an element OF
control to protect the health, well
fare and safety of the people.
Title of Act.
Congress did entitle the law the
District of Columbia Alcoholic
Beverage Control Act" thereby pre-
supposing control" in the post
repeal conception. President Roose-
velt's repeal PROCLAMATION envisioned
protection of health, morals and
social integrity" through the educa-
ton of every citizen towards a great
er temperance" as "a national
policy"
Previous to repeal, Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt. a personal dry. IN
radio address on December 10, 1882,
declared:
THE average girl of today faces
the problem of learning very young
how much she can drink OF such
things as whisky and gin and stick
ing to the proper quantity"
It would appear from the above
that promotion of temperance edu-
cation was, at least, by implication,
incorporated In post-repeal liquor
regulation.
Failure of District liquor control
to reflect this feature has thrown
the entire burden of temperance
education upon schools, churches,
citizens associations, the parent
teachers group, and Temperance"
organizations representing an ex-
treme dry viewpoint. The liquor
viewpoint is handled most ef1ciently
by the industry itself.
Had Easter Appreciation.
Evidence of an earlier apprecia-
ton of this responsibility by the
District board is apparent from
study Of its 1885 and 1896 reports.
Examination of the annual summa-
tions of its work since then and
analysis of its policies meanwhile,
fails to disclose any disposition,
much less any effort, to carry out
this mandate.
The first two reports, while not
in the nature Of temperance educa-
ton as such, nevertheless laid the
factual basis of analysis Of the So
cial effect of repeal, trends, etc.
This report covered arrests for in
toxication, the effect of prohibition
(not alcohoD on the child, which it
characterized as "the appalling
tragedy" effect Of repeal upon traf-
fic, enforcement, Board Of Educa-
tion-A. B. c. Board cooperation,
licenses, etc. Reports for the last
three fiscal years consist of two
mimeographed pages containing
tabulations of licenses in effect by
classes, receipts and disbursements,
| and violations.

prohibition years but admitted the
figures were alarming" In 1894 and
1885, the first two years Of repeal.
A similar elaboration Of that situa-
ton today to prove or disprove
charges Of sale Of liquor to minors
would be most timely. As result
Of its 1885 analysis the board ad-
mitted that EVERY day emphasizes
the necessity for proper and effective
temperance education" but that was
all.
The board also reported "a most
effective and close understandings"
between 1t and the Board of Edu-
cation-in 1886. Today's estimate
Of this situation at the Board of
Education does not coincide with
the boards 1896 description Of 1t.
The 1895 Report.
Realization of the need for temper
ance education was shown In the
1895 report where, after commenting
upon the arrests for intcxication, 1t
was said: ''The board still feels,
however, that there is an unpre-
cedented opportunity for proper and
effective temperance education to
produce the result which experience
has shown us cannot be brought
about by restrictive legislation and
regulation"
In the language of Mark Twain,
the board talked about" temperance
education, but has done nothing
about it and has even quit taking
the pulse Of the social effects of re-
legalized liquor. In February of 1899.
however, the board prepared a
monograph summarizing arguments
against alleged deficiencies Of a
monopoly system Of liquor control as
against the license system. This
preceded by one month the issuance
by publicity counsel for local liquor
interests Of q tract on the adWsa-
bility of Government monopoly for
the sale Of liquor here.
The attitude of the District board
Is in sharp contrast with the activi-
ties Of the New York and Pennsylva-
MIA liquor control authorities. Pursu-
ant to the policy statement Of its
law, the New York board has issued
a splendid pamphlet summarizing
without comment, recent research
and studies on ''The Effects Of
Alcohol on the Individual and the
Community" In foreword to the
pamphlet, Edward P. Mulrooney,
then serving as chairman, asked:
will the State control liquor or
will liquor control the State? There
can be no middle ground-the State
must and will control liquor"
The Pennsylvania pamphlet, "Are
You q Social Drinker was writ
ten for the board by an eminent
authority on alcoholism and was is
sued in response to the "justifiable
criticism" that that board "and all
liquor boards" have failed to edu-
cate the public in regard to alco-
holic beverages. The Pennsylvania
board b required by law ITO re-
strain" the liquor traf1ic. Both pre-
sentations are interesting and un-
biased.
The New York policy was ex-
pressed by Mr.. Mulrooney as: I'VE
plan . definite campaign Of tenn
perance education for we realize
that II this is not done our efforts
toward liquor control will be futile.
As States Require instruction.
According to the United States
Bureau Of Education, As States and
the District Of Columbia require
public school instruction on the ef-
fects Of alcohol on the human sys-
tenn. The laws of 13 States indicate
the nature Of the subject matter or
the amount of instruction to be

Republican officials worked today
on plans for publication Monday of

Glenn Frank Of Chicago, chairman
of an unofficial committee Of $50.
This document in intended to state
the case against the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and outline basic data
for the 1910 platform.
Two years in the making, the re-
port was subjected to an attack from
within the party's own ranks even
before publication.
Hits Lack Of Program.
Robert r. Church, Memphis COL
ored leader, who said he held a
proxy for Mrs. r. r. McLane of
Nashville, national committeewoman
from Tennessee, complained that the
Frank report was entirely lacking"
in program for colored voters.
He proposed that a special unit be
created in the party's national COM
mittee With 100000 to spend in
gathering and disseminating, mostly
to the Negro press, "factual data"
affecting the races political and eco
nomic security.
Mr.. Church's resolution, offered at
yesterdays national committee
meeting, at first was tabled on mo-
ton of Charles r. Enos. member
from Colorado, who argued 1t was
out of order. Chairman Hamil-
ton contended, too, that the ma
tional committee had no authority
to change the Frank report, but
merely was the medium for Its sub.
Emission tosthe convention. +
Taken From Table.
The proposal later was taken from
the table, however, and referred to
the party;s Executive Committee on
motion of Mrs. Cara l.. Ebert Of
West Virginia. She said it was out
of order, but that to table it would
be IAN affront."
Mr.. Church said afterward: "They
might have killed this resolution
today, but 1t is coming back Just as
sure as my name is Church."
The resolution not only COM
planned about the Frank report, but
said the National Committee had not
seen fit to provide machinery for
properly inquiring into the prob
lens of the Negro in the light Of
present day conditions and the
effect of the New Deal philosophy
OF government upon his political and
economic existence"
It also said it was the hope and
desire of the Republican Party to
"recapture the colored vote" and
imperative that it present to him
a program constructive in its nature

integral part Of this Government. !"

thing from Independence Hall to

Keystone State took up the refrain
of their United States Senator

Philadelphia as the place to catch

One of the principal topics of 1 conversation around Washington these sweltering days is what ef- feet the Hatch bill, signed the other day by President Roosevelt, is going to have on the political campaigns this fall
 The answer is almost invaria- ply that it's effect will be tremen- dous. For example, the Democrats will be able to spend on their na- tional campaign only little more than half as much as they did four years ago. And the $30O0,- 900 campaign expenditure limit will hold the Republicans to one third of what they spent trying to elect Ali M. Landon.
 That means fewer speeches
 by bigwigs travelling on party
 expense accounts. It means
 fewer campaign whingdings. It
 means much less campaign lit-
 crature. It means the national
 party committees will be able
 to dole out much less for or
 ganizatiOn of the hinterlands.
 The new Hatch bill will also
 take about 250,000 field workers
 who are paid partly by Federal
 funds out of political activity.
 But in spite of this it's going to be far from dead campaign. That's what Washington is saying anyway. Wendell l.. Willkie and his campaign generals it is be- lieved, will set down in every whis- tie stop in the country to take their case to the people personally And even if President Roosevelt isn't able to leave his desk, his campaign corps will have to fight fire with fire.
 The result then will be that the Hatch act will take lot of the spending out of the fight, but it won't eliminate any of the light ming and thunder. The New Deal will be fighting for it's life. Even the most pro-administration observ- CTS admit that the Republicans have toe-hold. They'll be fighting tooth and nail to turn that into a victory.
