Mr. ‘yote can only be obtained by permitting a certain) uring the probable effects of putting in the Democratic platform a plank caMing for a liberal interpretation and enforcement of the Federal Prohibition Amendment. | They reckon a Democratic declaration of this char-| acter would stand a strong chance of securing the elec-| toral vote not only of New York, New Jersey, Massa- | chusetts and Ohio, but of at least fifteen Southern and | border States, making a total of 276 votes in the | Electoral College, where 266 will elect a Prestdent. i of which might make the winning margin greater. | Such estimates have their deepest “meaning in the | fact that they seek the measure of present power not} in the Prohibition lobby but in the popular vote. | It is no longer a question how much fear the agents | cf the Anti-Saloon League can put into the soul of the legislator by making him believe their threats are the threats of his constituents. The question is now: What do a majority of those constituents ‘think in their own minds about Nation- wide Prohibition and how would they vote? The Way they think about it now is not the way they thought about it two years or even a year ago. To-day their thoughts and energies are not concen- trated on war. They are not ready to make any and every sacrifice which they can bé persuaded may even remotely con- tribute to winning a war. They are no longer easy marks for an organized Constitution in order to fasien their own power upon the country. Level-headed Americans who believe in temperance, who believe in fighting the evils of the liquor traffic, who believe in abolishing the kind of saloon the United | States has seen too much of, are nevertheless convinced that the reforms they sought could have been brought about without handing over the Nation to the Anti- Saloon League. These same Americans now look with disgust upon the spectacle this State presents of an angry Prohibi- tion Boss alternately scolding and sneering at legis- lators, trying to stir up trouble between Catholics and Protestants, cracking the whip over clergymen, out- raging decency—all because the road to undisputed power is not as smooth as he expected it to be. | Every day more people in the United States, includ-| ing many who have called themselves Prohibitionists, | ro ue uaitor of tue re saying to themselves and to others that while they | vould never go back to the saloon, while they believe ale of whiskey and never thought that wine and beer in all their forms |!4rdly any difference betw Every day increasing numbers of temperate, well- ; balanced citizens point to the power of Congress to | the Volstead Act carries Federal Prohibition, With the increasing volume and force of this public attitude toward Nation-wid ers as well as Prohibitionists must rec! | saloc mn, GAIN cx cheaper cuts go begging at the butcher-shops because every one—including the I.

Possibilities of Entering This Trade—The laws in various cities differ as to the experience which is required before a man is given a license to operate a projection ma- chine in a theatre. In practically every city a license is given by some city department after an examination has been successfully passed by the applicant, In most cases a young man serves an apprenticeship of from tiree months to one year under a licensed operater in preparation for this examination. In New York State the law does not permit an appren- uceship and the training must be se in another State. No previous.experi- | ence is required to be allowed to-take | the examination. About 1200°Tictnges have been issued in New York State and there about 900 regular posi- | tions, showing that this trade is over- |orowded at present. ‘This trade -is about 90 per cont. organized. Union }men in New jshould be a regular apprenticeship | Tequired besides passing the city ex- amination, A bill to this effect will soon be introduced at Albany. The feeling seems to be that the schools cannot give the men the practical training which is required for a good projectionist. In most cities men work seven days a weck. Some of the larger cities have a forty-cight-hour week The examination for a license covers a knowledge of ordinanges and fire laws, fundamentals of elte- tricity pertaining to projecting | machines and the ne cleetrigal equipment such as me ators, wotary converters, mercury are rect fiers and tras ormers.
