Republicans Will
Swing To South
Washington —With a decision to
endeavor to make permanent the
results of the recent campaign in
the South and to build up a virile
party organization there, the exe
cutive body of the Republican na
tional committee adjourned today
without settling the southern com
mittee posts.
A statement issued by Dr. Hu
bert Work, chairman of the Re
publican national committee, said
that the decision to fight for a
stronger foothold iiv the 8outh
was inspired by "the demands from
people from virtually every south
ern state' to become permanently
identified with the Republican
party."
There was no reference, however,
in his statement to the disputed
posts of national committeeman
and commlmttecwoman from Geor
gia. George F. Flanders of Swains
borev Ga„ is seeking the place as
national committeeman to replace
Ben Davis, Atlanta negro, who has
thrown his support to Flaunders
against J. H. Watson, another ne
tfto.
Results Discussed.
Dr. Work said the committee
had discussed “at. length the many
gratifying results of the election,
particularly the party's success tn
breaking the solid South.”
"This result tvas so Impressive and
so encouraging," he added, “that
every influence within its power not
only to make these results perman
ent but to encourage and build up
virile and militant party organiza
tions throughout the Southern
states.
“This is in response to the de
mands from people from virtually
every southern state to become per
manently identified with the Repub
lican party. One of the conse
1 quences of the victory will be in
! creased southern representation In
■ national conventions." t
When Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar. dl
( rector of the Hawaiian volcano ob

’ that there will be an eruption of

his prophecies with regard to the
' action of volcanoes have been ful
• filled with remarkable consistency
l in the past. “A volcano is not a
clock.” he explained. “The interval
theory Is based on certain laws of
nature such as those that deter

Something
To Think I
About
Next Civilization
By BRUNO LESSING
V.. ..
"New Commentary’’ on the Holy
Scriptures haa been published by
some of the most learned and de
vout scholars of the Church of
England.
The stories of Jonah and the
whale, of Noah’s ark, Belshazzar's
feast and the Tower or Babel are
dismissed as myths, without his
torical foundation and Impossible to
believe. Moses did not write the
Pentateuch and Methusalah was
not as old as be claimed.
On the other hand, the biblical
story of the raising of Lazarus is
"accepted with all Its implications
as the climax of all the miracles of
healing." And Lazarus was sup
posed to be dead. So, you see, these
learned and devout scholars did not
shatter all the pillars of modern
religion.
No comment Is made, in this new
publication, upon this passage in
St. Matthew: “Ye blind guides,
which strain at a gnat, and swal
low a camel.”
Here, however, is a real fact. Prof.
Garstang, the famous archaeologist
who has been excavating in North
ern Palestine under the auspices of
the Liverpool Institute of Archaeol
ogy, returned to Jerusalem, recent
ly, and reported that he had “dug
up” the ancient site of Hazor which
Joshua conquered.
The Old Testament states that
Solomon repaired Hazor. Prof.
Grastang found the walls of Sol
j omon’s period resting on top of the
! former Canaanite ramparts.
| Needless to say he found no evi
| donee that Joshua had made the
I sun stand still.
i An open letter to my friend
i Clem Horst of San Francisco:
j Prominent Southern politician
claim that violation of the 18th
i amendment is more serious than
violations of the 14th and 15th
amendments. Because congress
passed a Volstead law to carry out
the sentiment of the 18t.h amend*
ment. And congress never passed
a law to carry out the sentiment
of the 14t4v and 16th amendments.
You are known to be as strong
for the cause of temperance as you
are known to be against the ty
ranny of Prohibition. You have
wealth and leisure and access to
the sources of accurate informa
tion.
Will you be so kind as to com
pile for me a list of the more Im
portant laws of congress which
are flagrantly violated throughout
the United States?
I merely want to WTite an article
showing that those who harp on the
Prohibition law are fanatics or
frauds, in so far as their professed
regard for law enforcement is con
cerned.

Hoover Term Will
Test Prohibition
New York World.
The disappointment with which
Mr. Hoover's views on prohibition
have bern read by Republics
Journals m the East is genuine and
profound. During the campaign
of these journals had been able to
persuade themselves, possibly in al>
sincerity, that Mr. Hoover thor
oughly understood the difficulties
of enforcing prohibition in great
urban centres like New York, Bos
ton and Philadelphia, and that the
coniminvuon vr;cr. he proposed to
create to study the ‘'grave abuses"
of the law would start with a free
hand and be empowered to recom
mend some form of modification If
me facts pointed in that direction
These optimistic interpreters of Mr.
Hoover’s campaign speeches now
find to their dismay that the new
commission will have nothing to do
with the question of determining
whether in its present form the law
can or cannot be enforced, and that
the sole duty of the commission
wil lbe to recommend such changes
in "the administration of the law”
as will put more power back of it.
We are unable to share the sur
prise which some of these Eastern
Republican papers now manifest in
the unwelcome discovery that Mr.
Hoover’s purposes run parallel with
the purposes of the Anti-Saloon
League of America. For we did not
believe that when Mr. Hoover copi
mitted himself during the course bf
the campaign to a bone-dry pro
gram he took this step with a sly
w'nk in the direction of the Herald
Tribune. We believed that lie
meant what he said and that he
would prove that he meant it. We
credited him with believing that the
law should be enforced without any
change, that it could be enforced
without any change and that with
out any change he would bring all
the powers of government to bear
In an effort to enforce it. Accord
Ingly when Mr. Hoover makes these
facts clear beyond any doubt we do
not feel that he has suddenly per
mitted us to share a secret. Mr.
Hoover is a man of honor. If he
took a milltantly dry stand during
the campaign it was to be expected
that he would take a milltantly dry
stand upon his Inauguration.
Where his devout championship
of prohibition In its present form
will lead him it would be futile to
guess on his third day in office,
but there can be no possible doubt,
that It will lead him far\ beyond
the complacent policy of let-things
drlft which has characterized the
attitude of congress and the Cool
ldge administration toward the en
forcement of prohibition. Mr. Hoo
ver is a poor man to let things
drift. He is an excellent man to get
things done. He is certain to dis
cover that very little has been
done, really, to enforce prohibition.
Without going one mile from the
White House his commission of in
quiry will 'discover, for example,
that in the records of the approprl
tions committee of the house of
representatives there was entered
on last Dec. 5 the opinion of the
prohibition commissioner that the
sum of $300,000,000 annually would
be needed for a real effort at en
forcement. If Mr. Hoover is in
earnest in his wish to enforce the
Volstead act without amendment,
and if he is able to carry congress
with him on this new crusade, the
country is certain to see a pro
found alteration in the chief em
phasis of its federal budget. It is
certain to see new courts created,
new armies of enforcement officers
recruited, new penalties imposed.
For ourselves, we do not regret the
fact that the country is now about
to witness a test of prohibition in
a new mood and on an entirely
new scale. For since the American
people are not ready to modify the
law. the best alternative is a real
effort to enforce it. The Repub
lican party has accepted responsi
bility for such an effort. It has full
power. There can be no excuses if
it fails. Mr. Hoover has his man
date and we shall see what we shall
sec.

Fire Burns Dollies
York, S. S.—"Miss Ferguson, I
think the wind has set your house
afire,” lisped little Jane Ferguson,
5, daughter of T. Mack Ferguson,
president of the Loan and Sav
ings Bank here as she entered the
room where Mrs. Harvey Ferguson,
Mrs. George Clark, Mrs. Mason
Clark and Mrs. Luther Hartness
were sewing Thursday morning.
Mrs. Harvey Ferguson rushed
upstairs where little Jane had
been playing with her little brother
Tommy; Mrs. H. E. Ferguson’s lit
tle daughter, Naomi, and Mrs. Hart
ness’ little girl, Marion.
She gathered the children in
her arms and through smoke and
fire carried the tiny tots to safety.
They had been playing with dolls
and doll clothes and all these
things were destroyed in the fire.
The little ones cried bitterly
about their dolls.
Englishman Hears
From Dead Wife
She Enjoys “Recuperation” After
Death, Met By Spirit
Children,
London.—Lady Mary Lodge, late
wife of Sir Oliver Lodge, is en
joying a period of “rest and recu
peration” in a “happier sphere," Sir
Oliver informed the press.
Sir Oliver said he had received
his first "communication" from
Lady Mary who died three weeks
ago. The message was character
istic of his wife and indicated she
was met after death by the spirits
of her children, Raymond and Vio
let, who died earlier, the British
scientist and advocate of spiritual
ism said.
“We are not presumptuous
enough to expect that an Ineffable
meeting with her pilot has yet oc
curred,” Sir Oliver added. In Sir
Oliver’s opinion, persons who die
are met by a “pilot” who acquaints
them with the order of the new
life
Sir Oliver mentioned his wife’s
message in a tribute to her en
titled ’Tn Memorlam,” in which
he said none of the family was un
duly lamenting her death.
“We know how eagerly and
lovingly she would have welcomed
the knowledge that our faith in
continued existence is absolutely
secured and that not a shadow of
a doubt troubles us,” he wrote.
The English are deeply attached
to their royal family, we are told,
but we doubt whether even that
would bring out a crowd at a nun
mage sale of Queen Mary’s hats.—
