Federal Supreme Court Suit Goes “Dry Throats” Unrelieved BOOZE HOUNDS JOYLESS Washington, (May 15.—Decision by the supreme court on the suits test ing the validity of the Volstead pro hibition enforcement act is expected by both Anti'Saloon league official: and liquor interests before the court adjourns for its summer recess on June 7. No matter which way the decisior goes, however, it will offer no reliet to the thirsty, at least until some ac tion has been taken officially to end our war with Germany. ‘or should the Volstead act be knocked out the eighteenth amend- ment would still hold and its enforce- ment be supported by the terms of the war-time prohibition act, which has never been repealed. = And After “Peace” Even following final proclamation of peace, should that come before con- gress had remedied defects the court might find. in ‘the Volstead law, it would be a long way to drinks with wen a@ feeble kick. The constitutional amendment weuld still prohibit the manufac- ture and sale of “intoxicating” beverages.and only in such states as had determined by statute what constituted an “intoxicating” drink could such beverages legally be sold. The fact is, however, that even the liquor forces do not. expect the Vol- tead act as a whole to be overruled. They are hoping to weaken it by get- ing certain sections knocked out, which would make it yecessary for congress to take it up ‘a n. New action by congress, wets be- lieve, could be held over until after the elections this fall, and in the meantime every effort would be made to develope an apparent wet strength and thus influence the actions of con- gress in its revision of the law. State Camnaigns Campaigns would be begun in the vious es, for legislation permit- ting light wines and beer’of from two to'four per cent alcohol to be made and sold as “non-intoxicgting” and thus outside the prohibition of the eighteenth admendment. Anti-Saloon league forces are rest- ing easily, believing that the action of the Supreme Court in sweepingly up holding war-time prohibition even dur- ing a) period of only technical war in- Nicates a dry attitude. Liquor interests are corresponding ly depressed, but declare the fight will de kept up as long as there is a legal leg to stand on BABE RUTH HOME| RUN RECORD IS} WELL UNDER WAY | Famous Slugger Has Recovered Batting Eye and Knocks Out Three Homers in Two Days Chicago, Ill., May 15.—“Babe’ Ruth's 1920 offensive towards a new home run record it in full bloom, The New York slugger connected with a trio of homers in two days and has five circuit drives to his credit, according to averages completed today. The averages include games of ‘Wednes day. Johnson of Cleveland shot to the front among the American league bat- ters with an average of .414 acquired in twenty games.

He has re- gistered 17 times, and has been on base an average of twice a game, but the members following him have not been able to deliver the necessary ‘punch to put him across the plate with anything like consistency. Williams of ‘Philadelphia and Ro- bertson of ‘Chicago, are tied for home run trips. ‘ach has whacked out three round’ trips.

Wilson Run Again? : That “there will be ‘hell-a-popping’ at San Francisco” is the warmish comment of the chief Democratic paper in Nebraska on Mr. Bryan’s victory in the State primaries, for he will now go to the Convention as a delegate “with full opportunity to devote his power and talents to either guerilla or open naturally have a few such is Mr. Wilson’s as the best judge of warfare upon the leadership of President Wilson and the policies for which he stands.” The President has indicated very plainly, in his letter to Delegate Jouett Shouse, read to the Kansas Democratic State convention, that he will insist that the party support his League program. The New York World be- lieves.it.would be a fatal policy for the party to repudiate the President, for “it is only under his lead- ership that the party can be held together,” and the Brooklyn Eagle says that if the party is to make a campaign on the League issue, “the only logical candidate is Woodrow Wilson.” The Republican press remarks to make about all this. Thus the Milwaukee Sentinel: » “Run for a third term nomination?- Of course he’ll run—health permitting. And, as a prominent Democrat remarks, sublime self-confidence that when it comes to that question he will regard himself the permissive state of his health.” ig ,One of the most interesting articles in this week’s LITERARY DIGEST—May 15th—deals with the possibility of Mr. Wilson again being a candidate for the Presidency, and presents the editorial view-point on this contingency from many angles. : Other. importa nt articles in this number are: Candidates’ Strength Revealed in “Digest” Poll.
