Strictly speaking the case is over, with no chance for J. R. exceit the possibility of tiie repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Everybody remembers when James M. Cox, the Democratic presidential nominee, said that the liquor question was an issue as dead as the issue of slavery, and It was only u short time ago that President Harding said, In another generation 1 lielieve that liquor will have disappeared not merely from our polities but from our memories. Nevertheless, though the eighteenth amendment Is tiie law of the land and Is being more or less enforced, prohibition si ill seems to lie decidedly a live topic pretty much all over the country. Wayne 1!. Wheeler, general counsel of the league, commenting on tiie congressional primaries In seventeen states, said : In many of these states the dominant issue In the campaign was a beer and wine amendment to the national prohibition act." Magazines and newspapers are taking polls of their readers. .Straw voles have been held in many cities and several municipal chambers of commerce have voted pro and con. Citizens of Illinois have prepared a petition with 500,000 signatures for a vote on the question of light wine and beer. Hotel men say that prohibition is gradually forcing tiie lintels of the United States back to tiie American plan. liepresentative Hill of Maryland tiie oilier day wrote to Secretary Mellon of tiie treasury demanding the immediate dismissal of Iroliililtion Commissioner Haynes on tiie ground that lie is using and causing to lie used oflicial mail franks of the Treasury Department for the sending knit of personal political propaganda in the Interest of himself and Ids associates, the league. Summary removal of liepresentative Volstead of Minnesota, uiilhor of the prohibition enforcement act, from the membership and chairmanship of the house judiciary committee was demanded in tiie bouse by llopresentalive Tinkliam of Massachusetts, Tinkliaiii charged that Volstead owed his election to (lie league, which spent money on Ids behalf, and that Volstead lias been subservient to tiie league's inllueiice. After considerable wrangling, tiie house by a vote of 111 to J decided to deny Tinkliam tiie right to speak on the subject in tiie house and to expunge bis resolution from the record. In congress decal es over die effects of prohibition are frequently staged. Senator Sterling of South Dakota started to introduce a resolution authorizing the prohibition authorities to hoard any vessel within four marine leagues of the coast. Then he exptuined that the amendment wouldnt be pressed because the secretary of slate was of tiie opinion that the jurisdiction of the United Stales extended only three miles out from shore, that tiie resolution might make International trouble and Unit 'die secretary of state was endeavoring to arrive at an amieidde understanding with (ireat Britain regarding die search of vessels. In die house not long ago liepresentative flaili-vaof Massachusetts declared the past two years of prohibition enforcement had been h I. In brief, be argued Hint nothing is being accomplished and that die country is In a worse condition than ever before. liepresentative William D.
