The new Labor Government in Great Britain is! a minority Government. In the popular vote it is not even a plurality Government, for the Conserva- tives polled about 275000 more votes than were polled by the Laborites. The figures in the late election, so far obtainable, compared with those of 1924, are as follows: 1929 1924 Gain Conservative 8,656,000 7,861,000 795,000 Labor 8,383,000 5,488,000 2,895,000 1 Liberal 5,217,000 2,928,000 2,289,000 These figures show that the Conservative Party,| normally, ought to be the strongest in Parliamentary‘ seats. However, they show that the Liberal Party, is very much unrepresented—their disproportion be- ing much greater than that of the Conservatives. The Conservatives with 39 per cent. of the votes have 42 per cent. of the seats. The Laborites with 37 per cent. of the votes have 48 per cent. of the seats. The Liberals with 23 per cent. of the votes have only 9 per cent. of the members. Edwin L. James, New York Times special cor- respondent, declares that Lloyd George has made it plain to the Labor leaders that a law making| it so that membership in the House of Commons must more nearly represent the votes cast at the election than at present must Be adopted as part of the price for Liberal co-operation. RASKOB TO REMAIN IN POLITICS. Chairman John J. Raskob of the Democratic National Committee has made it plain that he has no intention of retiring from politics and that he will remain at the head of the Democratic organiza-| tion. He stated, also, that Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former Governor of Wyoming, will remain as Vice-| Chairman of the National Committee and head of women's activities in, the organization, and that Secretary Charles Greathouse and Treasurer James W. Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany, will remain in their positions. The appointment of Jouett Shouse to be Chair- man of the Executive Committee, succeeding former Senator Gerry, is probably designed to strengthen the organization in the Middle West. Mr. Shouse is a prominent Kansas City lawyer. He was in| Congress for several terms from Kansas when a young man, and was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Wilson Administration. He was a leader of the McAdoo supporters at San Fran- cisco, but was for the nomination of Gov. Smith in 1928. Mr. Raskob's announcement will appeal strongly the | ,‘:md a suspension of the concentration of authority |in government at Washington. ; HOOVER MAKING PROMISES GOOD. | President Hoover took another step toward the fulfillment of his campaign promises when he urged !Congress to hasten legislation transferring Prohibi- |tion enforcement from the Treasury Department to the Department of Justice. The indications are that Congress will quickly act favorably upon the request. There is no reason why the President’s recom- {mendations in the premises should not be carried jout. There is where the administration of the Vol- |stead Act ought to have been in the beginning. |The law ought to have been enforced by the same ‘nmchinery as all other criminal laws are. The Pro- | hibition unit ought to be disbanded and the whole |matter placed in the hands of the District Attorneys |and United States Marshals to act under the direc- |tion of the Attorney-General. | At least there was nothing indefinite in the an- "nmmconmnt of Mr. Raskob's purpose to remain in !politics and at the helm of the Democratic Party. |He used no circumlocution, but spat it all out in |a sentence or two. The circumstance that the principle behind the |debenture amendment to the Farm Bill is a first {cousin of the high protective tariff is not an argu- jment in its favor. Two wrongs do not constitute a| right. We are with President Hoover in this| imatter. Willebrandt’s Retirement s Blow at Anti- Saloon League. (Chicago Tribune.) The retirement of Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt marks the determination of the Hoover Administration !lo put an end to dictation and domination by the Anti-Saloon League of the process of prosecution of 'prohibmon law offenders by the Department of Jus- tice. Throughout her incumbency, Mrs. Willebrandt has been one of the most valuable co-adjutors in !public office the Anti-Salooh League has possessed. Through its influence with her and through that of the W. C. T. U, the dry organization has more deeply entrenched itself as the invisible government of the Volstead era. Mrs. Willebrandt recently started weeding out all the Federal District Attorneys who were accused | by the drys of lack of vigor in prosecuting Pro- hibition offenders. She procured the removal or resignation of several and had the ax ready for a considerable number of other District Attorneys whom the league superintendents in various States speaking. The evidence discloses behind the figure of Mrs. Willebrandt the shadowy forms of our real rulers, the Rev. F. Scott McBride, General Superintendent and head lobbyist of the Anti-Saloon League and Mrs. Ella A. Boole, President of the Natinoal Wom- an's Christian Temperance Union. The desires of the National League as to the ad- ministration of justice in connection with Prohibi- tion Law are generally communicated to Mrs. Wille- brandt by Dr. McBride in person. It also appears that it has been customary for the State Leaguers to report directly to Mrs. Willebrandt on conditions }in their jurisdiction and to propose changes of | prosecuting personnel and prosecuting. methods, in- 'stead of proceeding through Dr. McBride, the | League's official Washington representative. Mrs. Willebrandt’s correspondence files are cram- med with letters from league officers condemning candidates for appointment as Federal Judges, Dis- trict Attorneys and other officers of the Department of Justice. Others letters ask the removal of District At- torneys and other officers for failure to enforce the Prohibition Law to the satisfaction of the League and some letters proposed changes in administra- tion designed to concentrate the activities of the Department of Justice upon Prohibition prosecu- tions.

More or Less True A young man of today doesn't lift his hat when he meets a lady, because he doesn't wear one, and the lady doesn’t lift her skirt when she meets a mud puddle for much the same reason. Nothing makes a woman madder than discovering lopping off the birthdays doesn't stop the wrinkles and gray hairs -from coming just the same. It takes ideal home, sacrifice to make an but when only one side practices it, it's took much like try- ing to sing a duet alone. A pessimist is a man who thinks that the pendulum has started swinging the other way and long hair coming back, means the girls net will begin to wear longer skirts and more clothes. The trouble with the women who holler loudest about equal rights is ing is that they be treated as su- periors. . A once over of the passing pa- rade might not convince you that money is the most unequally dis- tributed thing in the world, but it would convince you fat is.
