Stunned to silence by the tremendous whipping they Bustained during 1932, the prohibitionists again are vocal. iAnd they have logical arguments which will go far toward | nce again bending the American mind toward doing Bway with this controversial subject. Pointed were the Minnesota Anti-Saloon League su- ferintendent’s remarks when Friday he declared “Min- hesota got one hundred million dollars from the federal government for relief purposes, yet the people of this state spent sixty-five million last year for liquor. If they have that much money this state doesn’t need relief. Our governor crammed the legislature's liquor law monstrosity down the throats of the people, then he called a meeting to consider the increase of highway acci- dents since the law went into effect.” Dr. R. N. Holsaple charged the proponents of repeal hhaye broken every promise they have made. With the Minneapolis man’s last two points there can be no issue taken.

Big Chunk of Federal Employes’ Pay Is Mailed Back Home. eee Washington, Sept. 21.—It’s rather a pitiful little acorn right now, the organization from which the great oak of the social security program is expected to grow. About 25 borrowed employes in borrowed quarters— ;| that is all that can be seen today of an organization that is expected eventually to employ 10,000 people in admin- istering benefits that will touch more than 16,000,000 Americans. Because the bill which was to have provided funds was filibustered to death as congress closed its last ses- sion, nobody can be regularly hired by the social securi- ties board. A dogen or so employes have been borrowed from NRA, and another dozen from Edwin Witte's com- mittee on social security which helped frame the plan. And that’s all. Unless the board’s appeal to the director of the budget for funds under the emergency relief act, equal to a month’s administrative expense, is: granted, it’s doubtful if even the salaries of Commissioners Winant, Altmyer and Miles can be paid until congress meets next winter and appropriates some money. ° Of course, they're going ahead anyway. ‘The mail already is flooding in, stacks of it. Most of it boils down to two questions: “How about a job?” {The borrowed staff is hardly large enough yet even to return the simple answer that must go to all such inquiries: to the first class, “We haven't anything to use for money yet,” and to the second, “Nothing doing for at least two years.” eee PLEAS POUR IN Plenty of the applications for jobs come sponsored by congressmen who were there the night the appro- priation was filibustered to death, and who should know better. A woman trudges in with an invalid sister and an The mailman dumps a big stack of mail on a bare table. It goes into the file that is beginning to spring up, forerunner of a system that aims in 1937 to begin a complete personal account of every employe in the United States—no less—establishing his age and keeping his wage and contribution record for old-age insurance benefits after 1942. ‘The social securities board, which has only just held its first meeting, is being given almost a whole floor of AND YOU ehind the Scenes [Are You Tired of War Scare —— WHERE THE TREES AND FIELDS ARE AS GEAUTIFUL AS EVER. “ 8, Violence and Disaster Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.

That happened when Senator Nor- beck of South Dakota and Senator Hastings of Delaware spoke their respective views about bringing the western liberals into the 1936 Re- FOLKS BACK HOME PROFIT ‘The money the government spends on payrolls here circulates all over the country to a surprising extent. Go down to the local postoffice on a government pay day and look at the toney-order line. It's three times as long as it used to be a few years ago. Government employes are sending money back home to relatives who need it worse than they do, or to the families they have hesitated to bring to Washington be- cause of the high cost of living here, or because their Jobs look too temporary. Your correspondent ran into one clerk who draws $90 a month and sends $40 back to the folks every month. How this employe gets three squares and a roof on $50 ® month in Washington is just one of those mysteries. A local merchant of many years’ experience says he believes 10 per cent less government payroll money is spent here today than was spent when there were 30,000 fewer government employes. _. {publican fold.

Lawrence Among the Stars (New York Herald-Tribune) The belief which is spreading among the Moslems of the Near East that Lawrence of Arabia is not dead but is organizing a force to defend Ethiopia's independ- sives,” said Hastings, “and give them a voice in party affairs, I express the hope that they may feel bound by the party, promises and live up to the party obligations, and not go cavorting around with New Deal vagaries.” Volumes could not present more clearly the chief problem with which the party is faced today. Long Session Seen Old-timers around the capitol are skeptical about the success of Demo- cratic plans for a short session of congress next year. First off, all of the regular appro+ priation bills must be passed. That takes weeks ordinarily; in 1936 the Process is sure to be complicated by much debate about budget-balanc- ing, and perhaps also about new taxes, The bonus already is assured a place on the legislative calendar. Various inflationary proposals. are pending, and their supporters are organizing for a congressional drive next spring. What intervening court decisions will require in the way of | irrefutable evidence of the grip that Lawrence had on the imagination, affections and loyalty of the Arabs. It proves that he made such a deep personal impression upon @ people completely cut off from both the printed records of his career and the ballyhoo in exploitation of it that—as a heroic and inspiring tradition—he cannot be permitted to die. A limited number of the true supermen of antiquity among the various peoples have enjoyed the distinction which the Moslems are now bestowing on Lawrence. There are a few outstanding examples in history and pre-history in the traditions of every nation from China to Iceland. Perhaps a dozen rise up in awful majesty out of the lore of the ancient peoples as heroes duly buried in their chamber tombs by contemporaries who went into immediate rebellion against the fact of death and cultivated among themselves the firm faith that the mighty ones would come forth again in their ¢plendid, fall: oged strength whenever their people were in dire stress.

Charlemagne was entombed at Aix la Chapelle | | with great pomp, but he was almost immediately trans- jlated to a celestial mission—in the flesh—as Odin’s | Christian successor. He became the midnight hunter {of the skies who was ready to enlist at any time in the i service of justice in jeopardy.

No one but s genuine superman, which means .9 man endowed with a tremendously magnetic personality and awesome energy, can make such an impression on his contemporaries—however simple and credulous— that they refuse to admit his mortality but prefer to put him, lke Hercules, among the demigods, living and waiting to serve humanity in an hour of critical need. When the simple folk who knew him put a man among the stars as the Arabs are putting Lawrence his place in history is assured, for he is past “debunking.” Besides, 1936 is a campaign year. | Unquestionably, many hours of de-| bate will be devoted to political ma- neuvering and stump speaking. It always is so in the last session be- fore an election, for the politicians know there is no better national sounding board than the floor of the senate or house. i The general long-range guess of seasoned members is—no matter)” what they may say for publication— that adjournment hardly will come before June, and would not come then except that all hands will be eager to get away before the nation- al political conventions. 3 No Workers Left Even in politics, it appears, there is such a thing as “an embarrass- ment of riches.” A reader of this column calls at- ® similar exhausting study of the situation as it is, with similar recommendations for its banishment or substi- tution of 1 system that would control the traffic.
