Now at All Sizes | WOMAN LEADER AMENDMENT IS HERE TO STAY Mrs. Peabody, Who Moved From Wet State, Says Less Liquor ts Consumed Editors Note: This is the sec- ond of two stories outlining the viewpoint of women on oprohibi- tion. The first, which appeared Tuesday, gave the ideas of Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, leader of a na- tional women’s organization for “prohibition reform.” By MBS. HENRY W. PEABODY Chairman of the Women’s National Cominittee for Law Enforcement ‘Washington, April 22.—(NEA)—The ene thing in which the great mass of American women stand firm is their support of the Prohibition laws. ‘The women’s organizations repre- sented on the Women’s National Committee for Law Enforcement represent 12,000,000 women. They have stood with us for nine years and they were still with us at our re- cent convention. That seems to me sufficient answer to the contention that our women are turning against the 18th amendment. Issue For 1932 The big political fight over prohi- bition prohably will come in 1932 and 1 think that, with women standing loyally and patriotically by the con- stitution, we will then break the back of the opposition presented by the wet minority. If we lose that fight we ‘nay be lost for a generation, but if we win it we will have won for all time. .Each year there is less liquor, and although we will not see quite the last cf the home brew in this generation, the next generation will see the evil eradicated. The law has only had 10 Sears of trial. Not a great deal can be expected of a 10-year-old child. But give the law 21 years, as a young man is given to attain his majority, and our fight will be about over. Less Drinking Seen ‘Women know that it was they who suffered most under the old legalized traffic. And as long as the 19th amendment, which gave them a vote, stands in the constitution every nor- mal woman who looks back on that old traffic will not forget as she casts her ballot the children whose lives have been ruined by alcoholic inheritance and made miserable by suffering in the homes. The fundamental factors which brought about prohibition cannot be forgotten by anyone. There are speakeasies now, but I would rather that we should have lawless speak- easies than better places clothed with an air of respectability. My grand- children would not enter a speakeasy. Such places present little temptation. We hear tales about women and children being drunk, but the rank and file of women are not drunk and the rank and file of children are not drunk. In a large survey of our colleges, only eight reported that tinere was not less drinking than in the old days. Our school teachers know the facts and the National Ed- ucation Association, representing 200,000 teachers, has voted unani- mously to keep the 18th amendment. The superintendents of schools voted similarly in Detroit. . Have Foreign Names Most of the bootleggers and rack- eteers who are captured, it will be noticed, have foreign names. Our tnain problem is presented by about 15,000,000 foreign born and a few wealtiay persons who are able to at- PREDICTS DRY if Backs Dry Law ‘ MRS. HENRY W. PEABODY son to believe that most of the mil- Nonaires now advocating the repeal of the 18th amendment are those who don’t want to pay income taxes. They think the working men would be. to pay the needed taxes through taxes. But the country is comparatively dry and becomes dry increasingly. ‘We have the government's figurés to show that there is only a third as {much drinking now as in pre-prohibi- tion times. Why I Moved The south is making an especially splendid record of fine Americanism as it obeys and supports the consti- tution. Florida is a good dry state and I can vote there with a clear conscience. ; I havé often been asked if it is true that I moved from Massachu- setts to Florida because Massachu- setts had “gone wet.” It is. I have lived in Boston and Beverly for 40 years, but I have a conscience. And when, in the same year that we cele- brated the 300th Pilgrim anniversary, the state repealed its prohibition law and I found our governor, the two state senators and my congressman in opposition to prohibition, I could no longer support them or continue ——S Something New for Your Radio Novelty Shade Lamps while they last $1.75 Dahners-Tavis Music Co.

CONDEMNATION OF | MAYOR'S PRIVATE LIFE TS EXPUNGED| National Republican Club Comes to Decision After Three Hours of Debate New York, April 22.—(}—The Nat- ional Republican club has expunged references to the private life of | Mayor Waiker from a report of a; committee of the club. Action was taken Tuesday night after three hours’ vigorous debate be- | fore 200 members on a report which had been drafted by the club's city affairs committee. The deleted pas- sage read: : “He (Mayor Walker) has joked, junketed to race tracks, sat up all night at wild parties, entertained Hollywood and ignored the city's problems. Every man, of course, has @ right to live his private life as he sees fit so far as consistent with his obligations to others, and we have no concern with Mayor Walker's pri- vate escapades except in so far as they interfere with his public duties. The mayor of New York has no right to allow the vagaries of private life to interfere with reasonable atten- tion to the responsibilities of his great office.” Alan Fox, one of the original Hoover men in New York, who made public the preliminary report on Sun- day, said the revision was “entirely satisfactory” to him. The club elected Major General James G. Har- bord as president. ‘With the exception of these refer- ences to private life, the club ap- proved the report censuring the mayor.
