A 12-YEAR OLD FAILURE. National Prohibition in the United States ob- served on January 18 its twelfth anniversary. It is the most colossal statutory failure in the country’s | hitsory. It has achieved none of the great things| promised for it by its advocates before its adoption. The country’s vaunted prosperity from 1922 to 1929‘; claimed by ardent Prohibitionists to have its roots in the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, | vanished almost overnight in 1929, and wiped out that argument completely. It has robbed the na- tional treasury as well as the cash boxes of smaller governmental units of billions of dollars in taxes, | cost the government unaccounted millions in direct appropriations for attempted enforcement of the| Volstead Act, enriched a lawless element that defies | city, county, State and national authorities, introduced new and powerful criminal factors in our national life. But it hasn't deprived any man, woman, or even child, who wanted it of a single drink. That is the record of Prohibition in the United States. It did destroy the saloon, that was licensed and largely regulated, which its proponents promised | it would do. But it substituted in its place the speakeasy, an unlicensed, unregulated, unchecked | institution which Prohibitionists apparently prefer to permit to exist with all its evils rather than! to seek a remedy under some other system of cgn-l trol even though it might lead back to the road | to temperance which Prohibition has blocked so effectively. | Senator Sheppard, co-author of the Eighteenth | Amendment, speaking on its twelfth anniversary voiced the attitude of the fanatical Drys when he | declared they would accept no change in the present | system. His assertion echoed the sentiment ex- pressed in December by delegates representing 42 temperance and Prohibition societies at a Washing- ton gathering. This assembly adopted a resolution declaring: We deciare that a vote by any member ©of Congress to submit either to State Leg- islatures or to State Conventions any amend- ment looking to the repeal or the weakening of the Eighteenth Amendment is to start the opponents of Prohibition half way toward their desired goal. We unhesitatingly de- ‘clare such a vote to be a wet vote. Thus they reaffirm their determination to in- flict their will upon the country at any cost. They will even deny the country the right to vote on the subject until two-thirds of the members of Con- gress are ready to vote.to resubmit the question. The declarations of such organizations as the Am- erican Federation of Labor, the American Legion | and the American Bar Association condemning the existing system and demanding a change mean nothing to them. This attitude is as unAmerican as is national Prohibition itself. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION COST MORE. The Chicago committee that obtained both Na- tional conventions for the Windy City was headed by Mayor Cermak and Edward Hurley—both Demo- crats, but well supplied with the coin of the realm that talks powerfully to politicians. At that it cost | them $50,000 more to get their own Democratic than | to get the Republican convention. But a Democratic convention usually sticks around longer than a Republican. The Democrats have more speech:s to make and, frequently, more rows to fight out. Therefore it is a better show and worth more to the community. Also it costs the delegates more money. THE “JOBLESS PARTY” AND FATHER COX. FPather James R. Cox, a Pittsburgh priest, is being boomed by the unemployed men of that city for a Presidential nomination presimably on behalf of a new organization—a ‘“jobless” party. Until early this month, Father Cox was not even a nams to all but a few of the country’s 120,000,000 or besides his parishioners in the Steel City. ‘When he headed the march of 10,000 jobless from Pennsylvania to the national capital to voice Jiving for themselves and their dependents he crashed into the front page headlines. His follow- orderly throng. He voiced their desire in a dignified manner. He demon- d his big-heartedness in many ways during march, and his ability to present a case when ly Father Cox has the stuff needed for a ful chief executive of the nation. But he has ity rates. The Governor promptly addressed “the people.” The Republican State organization has |“blackened” Pennsylvania’s good name. It is re- ‘mske! out of it. Both of the big parties and all of their responsible leaders are agreed that men and women who want and need work ought- to have .it. No other public issue is receiving the attention that this ode is. Industrial and business leaders, states- men, politicians and labor leaders are studying ways and means of curing the present situation and of preventing its recurrence. Out of these studies 4nd not from some hastily contrived political organization will the solution come. And Father Cox, if he be of real presidential caliber, will probably recognize the futility of at- tempting to make unemployment the sole issue in a national political campaign. Some of the papers are booming Mayor Jimmy Walker for the Democratic Vice- Presidential nomination. Trouble is, if nom- inated and elected, you'd so seldom find him n Washington.—(Seattle Times.) The Constitution provides that the President and Vice-President cannot come from the same State. - Possibly the Seattle Times has discovered why Gov. Roosevzit of New York has such a Jong lead in the race for the Presidential nomination. France and England suggest that the United States extend the war debt moratorium to a year beyond next July. she can pay no more war debts, moratorium necessary? just why is a Governor Pinchot Indicts. (New York Times.) Governor Pinchot called the Pennsylvania Gen- eral Assembly in special session. It was to do exactly what he told it and nothing else. He wanted it to spend $120,000,000. It was to levy taxes on gaso- ilne, cigarettes, billboards. It was to raise $35,000,000 by contributions for direct relief, shadowily to be repaid by the issue of “prosperity bonds.” The sum actually appropriated was less than $19,000,000. Of this $10,000,000 is for direct relief, The bill for this purpose is unconstitutional, according to the Gover- nor ead his Attorney General. Its fate rests with the courts. Such is the main product of seven weeks of wrangling. One of the last things the General Assembly did was to vote down resolutions ordering the Public Service Commission to investigate public util- sponsible for all the deviltry and brutality of the Legislature: I indict the Republican State organiza- tion of Pennsylvania as the enemy of the suffering people of the Commonwealth. The Governor forgets to say that he was slaught- ered in the house of his friends. It ate out of his hand at the regular <ession. At the extraordinary session his former punlisans deserted him. Does this suggest that the Pinchot, relief projects may have been less perfect than their author? But, as he tells himself in his New Year's address to the people: “If only you will refuse to be defeated nothing can stop you” He refuses to be de- feated. Nothing can stop him from calling another special session—and starting another row—if the bill for direct relief is declared invalid. That ought to come within speaking distance of the April primaries. It may accomplish much for the relief at least of Mr. Rinchot. The “party of Lincoln and Roosevelt” and Pinchot needs a leader. He needs| a plac> and sympathetic comrades in the State delegation to the National Convention. A special session, once more exhibiting the black- ness of the enemy of.the suffering people and the seéraphic candor of th&in best friend, may help’ him in his unselfish quest. In 1884 and 1931. (New York World-Telegram.) Awed was the first long-distance message that clicked over the telegraph wire in 1844 as Dr. Samuel F. B. Morse, its inventor, talked in dots and dashes from Baltimore to Washington, forty miles away. “What hath God wrought!” was his pious dis- patch. Bantering was the first long-distance message just sent via a more awe-inspiring invention, the radio telephone, as Secretary of Interior Wilbur chatted through 5,500 miles of wire and ether with Governor Judd of Hawali. Governor Judd:—“It's balmy weather we're hav- ing down here. The temperature was 61 degrees minimum, 73 degrees maximum, and it was 75 yes- terday. How’s the weather in Washington?” Secretary Wilbur:—“Instead of answering that question T'll ask’ you how many times it rained there yesterday.” 1Informed that there had been no rain, Wilbur said, “Well, that was an unusual day.” Then followed more pleasantries about dredg- ing appropriations for Honolulu harbor. ‘What a whale of a difference just a few decades Seward Coal Bunkers. (Seward Gateway.) With the decision to erect coal bunkers in Sew- ard, as authorized yesterday at Washington, D. C., by Secretary Wilbur of the Department of the In- terior, the coal mining industry of Alaska, as well as Seward and Anchorage, will benefit materially. The action of the far-sighted Secretary is acclaimed by all Alaskans and unguestionably will open up new fields for Alaska coal as well as create new tonnage revenues for the Alaska Railroad. Colonel Otto F. Ohlson, General Manager of the Alaska Railroad, has always been a strong advocate for construction of coal bunkers in Seward when assured tonnage justified the expenditure which has been estimated at approximately $75000 and did not hesitate to support Alaska's Delegate to Con- gress, James Wickersham, who recently introduced in the House of Representatives, Bill H. R. 500, calling for such an appropriation for construction and maintenance. The Gateway, in particular, is deeply gratified |by the successful conclusion of this project for which | lit had editorially advocated for seven years.
