Such talk is music to the ears of the Republican party leaders. Nothing could please the Republicans mor than to have the women openly fighting the Democratic party and its candidates. . With such allies within the ranks of the enemy party, the Republicans feel they would have a chance to win. Without some such schism in the ranks of the Democrats, the Republicans feel that their doom is sealed in 1928.

OODDARD, Business Xanafer Entered es Justice - . These, women, undoubtedly, are sincere in their purposes. But, we fear, they are sadly misguided in their energies and activities. They are unthinkingly, yet effectively lending their power and strength to. the Republican cause. These women are prating about nullification of the constitution and vowing vengeance against any nullificationist who might be nominated. The constitution as it now What about this .nullification! stands prohibits trafficking in liquor. The Volstead act is the medium through which the 'constitutional prohibition is presumed to be put into effect and operation throughout the land. Every state hasits prohibition Jaws .'and, every, city and townhas its prohibition ordinances. Yet, it is common knowledge that the liquor traffic is flourishin ing the country as it never flourished before. The daily press affords cumulative evidence, to the careful reader, that the constitution of the United States is being nullified nay, DEFIED every day in the year, .th$ Volstead act is being set at naught and state laws are being contemptuously ignored and administrative officials from the humblest hamlet to the national government itself are being corrupted d and controlled by the most powerful, insidious and liquor in of the the nation. ring history It is said, and we believe truly, that the bootleggers are the staunchest advocates and supporters of prohibition. Why! Because, prohibition, as is, means millions in revenue every year for these nullifiers of the constitution, defiers of the law and corrupters of public servants. If our .women really want to fight nullification, let them begin with the real nullifiers. Let them find a sane, effective method of stripping the bootlegger of his methods and means of corrupting politicians and public officials then will we be well on our way to the ' achievement of real prohibition. These law enforcement league women are assailing A1 Smith on Governor Smith may bethe ground that he is a nullificationist. lieve, as we do, that the present prohibition laws are not the proper solution, at least, not effective solutions to the liquor problem. But, if Governor Smith is nominated and elected, he will take an oath to enforce all laws of the land. Smiths character and record are such as to guarantee he WILL ENFORCE ALL LAWS OF THE LAND, and this means the liquor laws, too. We are convinced that under Governor Smith as president, the liquor laws would be enforced more effectively than they are and have been under an administration that placed the biggest distiller in the land at the head of the department of government charged with liquor law enforcement. . . wide-sprea- . . WHO GOT MIDVALE BOOZE? of others. Young Citizens of the U. S. A. The elementary school children of South Dakota have organised what la known as the Tpung Citizens league. "This league Is sponsored by the state department of public Instruction, and the legislature of South Dakota In special session In June, upon recommendation of Governor J. W. Bulow, appropriated $10,000 for the biennium for the work of the league. It is believed that this is the first Instanoe where a state government has appropriated funds for character education." . "The organisation of the league la patterned after the political organisation of parties. The state superintendent of public instruction Ja the state, chairman, county superintendents are county chairmen, and teachers In the school rooms where the smaller units are organised are the advisor. "Mock elections are held at the same time the general state elections take place and are made mandatory in the schools of the state by the 1928 state law, and for which the county auditor of each county Is required to furnish 1415- character or "During 1926-2ganlsatlons reported a total member ship of 60,092 boys and girls of grade school age. fll , "The Young Citizens league state conventioh held at the capital in April was attended by 121' official delegates (children from the third grade to the eighth) and by 42 and many unofficial visitors.

However, since the actions of so many public and private officials show that our morals are slipping, It Is comendable that the schools should correct the fault These are fundamental virtues. Without them all our brilliance and Intelligence Is naught It Is not likely that any future senator or governor among this group of students win buy his way to office or misuse his entrusted power. He win have been taught citizenship as It should be taught not as a boll day, demonstration, but as part of life. 4. Some time ago In this column we made the statement that so far as we knew there was no school In the United States which was actually teaching the practical machinery of government and that from our observation the school systems were afraid of this form of teaching. Now we shall have to recant, for according to a story told by S. B. Nlssen In the Journal of the National Education Association for, December, there Is one state which actually Is trying this remarkable experi- ous. What got the Midvale booze! This question in connection with the disappearance of 100 gallons of good old likir from the town jail, under mysterious circumstances, is still unanswered.

In spite of a great deal of to do on the part of the wets and the drya to Inject the prohibition question into the coming campaign, neither party organisation la showing much Interest In It as a political issue t The politicians on either side are not able to make up their minds as to whether there more wets or more drys in the country. If they could decide this, there would ho a .mad scramble by both parties to get on tbs side of the majority. This Is because politicians are interested first In winning, and second In issues. As It is thsre are wet and dry Democrats and wet and dry Republicans, and If either party supports prohibition enforcement or modification. It win result la n split, making for this election at least two now parties, .a prohibition party and an tlon party. One angle of the question which the extrema drys do not seem to realise la this, that In supporting the prohibition amendment, they may be doing the very thing which the ovaders of the law wish them to do. Many people who stand for prohibition are not wining to support the amendment as It Is functioning for they fed that it Is not only Incapable of being administered, but that It has put the nation Into an orgy of drinking and liquor truffle the Ilka of which has never been known. At any rata, It la unfair to assnme as many people are doing, that any certain candidate would make conditions .worse because he was, at the time .of enactment, not In favor of the Mil.
