NO CHANCE FOR REPEAL
There is no likelihood that repeal
or modification ot' the present prohi
bition laws at the next session of con
gress, despite the fervid hopes of
many old-timers who remember the
days when we could place our foot on
a bar-rail and blow the froth over
Pilsener’s finest. The saloon will
never come back, or at least the old
saloon as we knew it. Leaders of
both political parties are opposed to
any change whatever, and so far as
the country is concerned it is doomed
to remain wineless and beerless. In
a recent address Senator Frank B.
Willis, one of the strong men of bis
party, is quoted as saying:
"Snow will be 90 feet deep in Flor
ida, and Porto Rico will have more
icebergs than Spitzbergen before the
Eighteenth amendment will be repeal
ed. Second, in my judgment, there is
no chance at all that the Congress of
the L’nited States will modify that
amendment in any respect. And even
if the men of America should make
such mistake, I have enough confi
dence in American womanhood to be
lieve that it will never permit the sa
loon to come back. Third, there is no
likelihood that the enforcing law will
be repealed or amended. And even if
a resolution is introduced to amend it
I believe the man in the White House
would veto the measure. But perfect
ly good people, who admit they are
good, say, ‘We do not want toe saloon
back, Lut we are willing to have beer
and wine.’ And what will we cal: the
places where the beer and wines are
sclo? It will be the same old thing
camouflaged.
i nave more respect lor a Dooueg
ger than I have for a man who pre
tends to be decent and who patron
izes the bootlegger.”

drinking man in a hundred who cares
a whoop for light wines and beers—
especially the light wines. It ii :he

Dispatches say that the American
Federation of Labor reports a loss of
a quarter of a million members during
the past twelve months. No explana
tion is made as to why this took
place, but it is more than likely that
employers can get little comfort out
of it, as it does not mean necessarily

that workers are losing interest ic
craft oragnization. Rather, perhaps,
does it indicate that thousands ol
members are affiliating with ntor
radical bodies, being displeased with
the rather sane and sober manage
ment of the affairs of the federation.
As ti e tendency of radicalism is
shown in politics, so it unquestion
ably has shown in labor circles. An
instance of this kind near home is
that of the Sea.tie Central I-fbor
Council which was expelied for radi
calism.
FATTY ARBUCKLE continues to
break into print. Recently he showed
up in New Jersey with a restraining
order against the police to prevent
them from interfering with his attend
ing a dance. The public wouid not pay
any attention to Fatty if the police of
the country would lay off their petty
persecutions. He has never been
convicted of anything. Why shouldn’t
he go where he pleases when he
pleases.

ot the council, and each citizen fer
vently whispers, “dam it.”

OLD BUDAPEST PUCE
BUDAPEST, Oct. 31.—ITfty-four dol
lars was the price the Frankfort In
surance company paid for the palace
of Count Balthany in this city. The
palace is a copy of the lamous Bol
shevik Strozzi.
During the Bolshevik revolution the
palace had been requisitioned, and
made the headquarters of one of the
red government’s departments. After
the termination of the Bolshevik re
volt the count refused to use the pal
ace again and sold it for 2o,000 000?
( marks to the insurance company. The
price of 100 marks at that tune was
x$1.50. The buying company bon owed
I the money and paid only the interest.
Now’ that the mark is almost worth
less, the company paid its deb:, which
on the day ot the payment amounted
to the equivalent ot $54.

P periences on the Mississippi river,
rivaling those of Mark Twain's fam-l
( ous characters, Huckleberry Finn andj
his pal, Tom Sawyer, were told toy j
four local youths who have returned!
’ from a six-w'eeks trip on the Missouri
and Mississippi river in .’8-foot canoes
t in which they allege they had the
. time of their lives.
! Paddling with dangerous currents,
maneuvering to avoid snags, riding
waves of the river freighters, and
; sleeping to the music of the swirling
! waters, were a part of their adven
tures.
The boys, Edward Callender, Chas.
Orr, Byron Howard and Ellis Atter
berry, all students of Missouri univer
sity, said their premier thrills were
furnished by a storm on the Missis
sippi in which the two canoes became
I separated and were apart four days.
