WOMEN MAKE GOOD SUGGESTION. discussion of what kind of a Prohibition plank the Democrats should write in their platform when they next week in Houston, not the least notable suggestion to be| one that commend it, Is| t made by the Union. Recognizing that it in the very nature of the problem so by clared: In the current meet has much to Women's is not a ived, Democratic party issue and cannot Union be made| any party commitment, the de- at nd Prohibition enforcement, though present of overshadowing interest importance everywhere in the country not a party issue. The Bighteenth Amendment passed by non-party vote in Congress on Dec. 18, 1917 was ratified by majorities in fort of the State Legislatures without re to party affiliaticns. It was by united vote of Republicans and Demo- crats that the Volstead act was pass- ed over President Wilson's veto on Oct. 28, 1919. The division upon Prohibition is similarly not upon party lines. sectional rather than political, Both Democrats and Republicans in certain areas are unchangeably wet; but Demo- crats and Republicans are unchangeably dry in certain other areas. The Demo- cratic Party, therefore, refuses to accept the question as a party issue. But, recognizing that the problem of stricter enforcement or modification or repeal of the Volstead act engages the attention of the electorate beyond any other pub- lic matter and admitting the diversity of opinion which its own ranks, it calls upon all nominees declaring themselves in favor of enforcement to define clearly what steps are practicable and possible to that end, and those declaring them- selves in favor of modi tion or repeal similarly to define clearly what steps are practicable and possible to that end. This plank has a peculiar merit, one that does mnot always attach to platform utterances, it is refreshingly frank and entirely honest. It could hardly depict the situation with a greater degree of exactitude. And it extends an invita- tion for the nominees to make personal declara- ticns as to their own stand on the question of Prohibition. " By adoption of a plank ance and enforcement of the ment and its accompanying statute the Volstead Act, the Republican Party is seeking to make Prohibition an issue. This it can hardly hope to do unless it runs the risk of losing the sup- port of powerful factors .in the East. Many of its leaders, notably men like Dr. Nicholas Mur- ray Butler, Senator Edge of New Jersey, Speaker Longworth, and others are outspoken for modifica- tion. They are hardly likely to submerge their convictions on the principles involved in the issue because of a mere campaign declaration, The Republican plank was adopted because that party’s leadership convinced that Gov. Smith will be the Democratic nominee. It seeks to force the Democratic Party into a position of advocating the other side of the questfon, knowing that Gov. Smith will not make a race on any platform that committed the party to a fight on those who seek modification, The Re- publicans, if they are successful in the 1928 campaign, will continue such an enforcement policy as that carried out by the past two na- tional administrations under it as the party in power. The rub of the question two parties are concerned there should be was a today It is calling for observ- Eighteenth Amend- real so far as the enforcement. And in covering that in the Democratic platform. Gov. Smith, who eould not under any circumstances accept the momination on a dry platform, could be the nom- imee standing a platform that pledged an Bonest effort at enforcement so long as the law remains on the statute hooks but at the same time recognized the right of citizens to work for modification or repeal of the Volstead Act. no difficulty on SCHOOL SAVI DEPOS!

More Interest in Government. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) of Chicago, President of the sociation, is among the abler He recently addressed the of the United States at Washington. In his address he urged bysiness to take a real interest in government. 'he greatest peril to this country is the in- difference and apathy of our business men toward the problems of government, local dand national,” he gaid. “To many of our ablest men let ‘George’ do it. They are so occupied with their own affairs they give little or no attention to the more vital business of the government.” Mr. Strawn pointed to the fact that we have many—far too many—laws and too many regulatory bodies. He insisted that it is the responsibility of American business men to see that *“‘Congressmen give more of their effert to the observance and enforcement of the laws which we already have and to the constitution and building up, rather than to the tearing down, of our commercial, industrial and financial enter- prises.” And right here ance of team work. country must get tive interest and Silas Strawn, American Bar lawyers in America.

Industry js built by ‘“‘consuming power” by employing a maximum of labor through “increasing and diversifying pro- ducticn.”” There must be teamwork all along the line. Analysis of consumer demand would prevent cverproduction and the recurrence of de- pressions in the business cycle, argued one of the economist speakers, This is true. Apathy and indifference must be shaken off by the American business man. He must go to the polls and vote. He must assist others to go to the polls and vote. He must take an active interest in the kind of men proposed as candidates. He must seek to induce business men to consent to stand for nominations to of- fice and elect them. He must keep in touch with his Congressmen and Senator. There must be continuous teamwork which constructively shall be worth while. The (New York World.) For many years the eminent Dr. Serge Vor- onoft of Paris, France, has devoted himself to studies of the thyroid gland and of various other glands with a view to defeating death. When his researches are completed, he has hinted, men will be able to travel as far as the threshhold of the great beyond, and then, retracing their steps, travel the same journey over again. And the hope that he holds out has thrown a great many people into a state of high excitement. Here is something that they have dreamed about, and that their ancestors have dreamed about, through all the long ages. Here, in the Labora tory of Biology of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes, is the fountain of eternal youth, a rainbow hov- ering over its spray, a dryad beckoning from its pools.

Regardless of the biology involved in it, regardless of the romance that it holds, it seems to fly in the face of all that has been accepted as the inexorable destiny of man. So, with a view to testing the esoterics of it, the Sunday Express, a newpaper of London, took up a sym- posium. It sought out not the saints and sages who could speak of it learnedly but the persoms directly concerned with it. That is to say, it sought out centenarians, those half fabulous be- ings who have come to the end of the path, who already have glimpses of the land beyond the horizon. They, it reasoned, knew whether this was really as great a boon as it seemed. And almost unanimously they replied that they would have none of it. “I want to go home,” said one, and the rest agreed. “It is dusk and I am glad of it.” . . .
