Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON ei The House Votes Wet ‘That vote taken Thursday evening fn the North Dakota House of Repre- sentatives may prove of historic sig- nificance. This state has been taken for granted as dry so long that the spectacle of the House voting wet can- not go unnoticed. Never before, in the history of this State, have the prohibitionists lost a major battle in any branch of the State legislature. It may or may not have been a mandate when the voters repudiated the dry clause which has clung ten- aciously to the constitution since state-hood, despite many furious on- slaughts of the wets. Prohibition, under the impetus of the Eighteenth amendment, except in a few quarters, is accepted as having been a dismal failure. Commissions and surveys have usually reached but ene conclusion, and that is that fed- eral enforcement has failed. North Dakotans reached the same conclusion when they voted, in a spir- il of protest, to enroll this state among those who would drive the liquor traf- fic from basements and blind pigs into the open. It doubtless is a mis- nomer to call all those who are against the Eighteenth amendment wets. That is not the truth. Many who oppose the Volstead act and feel that the Eighteenth amendment is not the proper way to induce tem- Perance are far from approving the liquor traffic. Millions who voted for repeal do not desire the return of the saloon, The next great battle will come in the methods followed to legalize and control the liquor traffic. This state may return to the old plan of local option. It may decide, through leg- islative action, to remain dry. Just because the dry clause of the consti- tution was repealed, the legislature has not lost the power to restrict, to Prohibit or to legalize the liquor traf- fic, The legislature loses none of its authority to legislate, pro or con, against the liquor traffic by any re- peal of a constitutional ban which logically should never have been writ- ten into any constitution, state or federal. ‘The House merely said in effect, we will let the federal authorities pay the expense of farcical enforcement and relieve the state of spending thou- sands to aid and assist federal agents. It is rather surprising that no legis- lator in the discussion during the evening session referred to the ex- Pense this state is put to every year in a very feeble effort to enforce pro- hibition. Liquor traffic thrives in nearly ev- ery North Dakota community. Since the last presidential vote which en- dorsed the party of naked repeal, ef- forts at enforcement seem to have been relaxed. There is no real doubt about that. The support of public opinion was never very strong behind enforcement, state or federal. It is Jess vigorous now. If reports can be believed House Bill 76 will have a hard ride in the conservative by any means, Norris is not ready to play tail to Senator Long's political kite. Outside the Democratic group is Senator Cutting, nominally a Repub- lican but a political bolter who climb- ed the Roosevelt band-wagon after it got pretty well under way. He is being mentioned as a cabinet pos- sibility, Just why the Democratic leaders in the Senate should want to leave prom- inent posts for cabinet positions, some of which are not places as powerful 98 seats in the most deliberative body in the world, is hard to understand. ‘Take Senator Glass for instance. He served President Wilson ably as Sec- retary of the Treasury and certainly has all the honor that could accrue to him from that post. Why step down from a more powerful political Post to one of less importance? Now that the Senate is composed of many who would embark upon an orgy of currency inflation, it would seem that Roosevelt, who has come out firmly against inflation and for sound currency, would keep such men as Glass and Walsh in the Senate where he will need just such a check on those who are prone to follow after false political gods. Shades of William Jennings Bryan now hover over Congress. There is an insistent demand for the re-monetization of silver in the ratio of 16 to 1. Senator Wheeler, one of Roosevelt's most ar- dent supporters, would carry on where Bryan left off. The only con- cession Roosevelt has made to the free silverites is a promise of an in- ternational conference to consider the Temonetization of the baser metal. The protest that has been raised against recruiting so many cabinet members from the Senate may force Roosevelt to revise his slate. There will be mary new men in the next Senate and at no time in the history of the nation is leadership more need- ed than now. Senators Glass and Walsh can certainly play a more pow- erful role in the Senate than in the cabinet. What Would He Do? One of the classic stories of an- cient history is that of Joseph, who told the Pharaoh the meaning of his dream and warned him to save dur- ing the years of plenty in order that the people might eat during the lean years to come. It was simple, sound advice and sufficient for its day, but one won- ders what would happen to poor Joseph if he were called upon to do @ bit of modern soothsaying. The problem now is how to get the bulg- ing granaries empty in order that we may grow more to put in them; how to reduce the number of pigs and cows and beef cattle, in order that we may again go forward joy- ously with the work of producing more; how to eliminate a host of things which the world needs in order that wheels may turn again and men may have work. It is probable, however, that the old ancient would not begin with the problem at all. If he had, in his reincarnation, the wisdom with which he formerly was credited, he probably would proceed on the theory that there really was no problem; that neither the Pharaohs nor the People had shown any vast amount of intelligence.

In fact, com- rs passion in the great Tolstoy's case finally tortured the man into a men- | . tal derangement in which he died, old and broken and seeing sanctuary in the soil which could have produced misery. In Tuesday's Voice of the People there appeared a letter from Tolstoy's daughter, now living in Pennsylvania, The tyranny has changed its form but not its substance, and Tolstoy's daughter sees the tragedy of the changed form as her father saw the other. To the rational mind it makes no difference that one atrocity was called czaristic and the other prole- tarian.
