The Wickersham Report
A N 83,000 word lilorary bomb
shell has been hurled upon Hit
long expectant world by G. V
Wickeraham's prohibition enforce
llient investigating committee.
After a study covering a period
of 23 monlhs the commission re
ports some vory definite opinions
on tho subject. It ia noliceubl
however, that there was no real
unity of opinion anions the mem
hers of the commission. This fact
Is not surprising for there 1b no
national unity of thinking on tills
subject. As a mailer of fact tho
report reveals the fuel that the
membership of tho commission was
well selected, for Its report Is In
no sense partisan.
Two paragraphs In the summary
of the report are of particular slg
ulflcanco, partly because they were
points ou which all of the mem
bers agreed und partly because
they aro poignant comment on the
situation:
"Tho commission Is of the opin
ion that there Is yet no adequate
observance or euforcuinent.
"The commission la of the opin
ion that tho present organization
for enforcement Is still lnado
quate."
Another Important recommenda
tion was that congress be given
the power to rogulate or prohibit
the liquor business. This was of
fered us a suggestion In case Hit
18th amendment wero ever re
vised. Many of the commission wero ol
tho opinion Unit tho existing law
could be enforced.
After you have read over lhc
summary of tho report which hat
been published In tho newspapers
you may wonder Just exactly what,
If nnytlilng, It actually rcconii id
cd. If you arc an avowed "wot," the
roporl which is essentially favor
able to the 18th amendment as It
now stands, will not please you. II
you aro a "dry," no doubt you will
bo disappointed at some phases
of tho report.
A majority of tho commission
expressed the opinion thut tho mut
ter should bo referred to the
stutes tor final decision. Tills Is
tho same a Buying Cut tho mat
ter of prohibition should agnht he
put to a oto. 'i'hero is much pub
lie sentmient In favor of this Idea.
Liso other political matters, how
ever, tho mere voting ono way or
another on it would make no more
permanent solution than wo now
have. Those who favor the pmu
of having another veto by slates
on tills question contend that this
would effectively sellle the con
trovorsy.
It the recommendation of the
commission's six members who ad
vocated a state poll, were followed
out, tho procedure would be as fol
lows: Congress would adopt and
BUhmlt to the slates for ml II I
ration or rejection a luodtrienilnn
of the prohibition amendment
Thirty-six of the forty-eight slnles
could adopt or reject. If adopted
by Ihllty slx stales, regulation and
control of the liquor liaflle would
bo placed lu the hands of cnngress.
Tho country would then he wet or
dry or under a plan of nioillili-aiiou
subject io trie vole of rougi-cits.
This writer does not believe ili.n
such procedure would anile :lii
thing. It is true of coiw-c Hue
the people of the country wonl
lllive- ugaln expressed their idea
via ballot, but the prohibit. on
question would Kt III he Just as aim
und just as controversial as ever
For the first few years utiei
,lllior traffic was faced under
Us control, cnngress "would not
have u great deal of lime for the
consideration of other problems.
If the present prohibition amend
ment Is regarded us an epeiimeul
wo aro not finished. The Wkker
Bhiiin commission agrees that en
forcemi'iit has been Inadequate

Advice to Girls
By
NANCY LEE
Dm
am a boy in my middle teeus.
and very much in love with a cer
tain girl. Now, Nancy Lee, here
Is my problem. This girl has told
ment that Hhe loves me, hut some
how i am not sure she does. Last
night a friend and myself went
to see her. While we wero talking
my friend put his arm around her
and my heart fell when 1 saw that
she did not re! use. She has told
me many limes before that If she
succeeds In getting mo jealous that
1 will like her all tho more. Now,
N'uncv I. en. tin von mull v think
(hut If she really loved me that
she would try to get me jealous?
I am not jealous of my friend, be
cause I would do anything in my
power to make him happy. H. S.
BS,: It is useless to attempt to
understand some womon. Try
and 'understand yourself. What
makes you so kind to your friend
and anxious to do anything to
make hi in happy? Aren t you go
ing a little too far when you allow
him to lake liberties with the girl
you profess to care for? Speak to
him and tell him that you do not
wish such an incident to occur
again. Then speak to the girl, ami
tell her that such conduct does
not make you jealous, it merely
disgusts you. Tell her that mutual
understanding and respect are nec
essary for true and lasting affec
tion. DKAU NANCY LKK;
I have followed your advice lo
girls and I know you have helped
uiauy, so this is my problem.
1 a ma girl eighteen years old
and met a uoy about three niouius
ago and have beeu interested in
tutu ever since.
I am a girl eighteen years old
and all weie tilled with tho excep
tion ot tho last ono. lie was there
to till tne date but caught my girl
it lend and uiu talking to other let
low d, having the inienliou of till
ing the date afterwards, but he
got peeved and left. 1 know ho has
ween interested in me because he
shotted it.
1 have seen him since and said
hullo lo him. He has replied every
tune. I have telrained irom going
with others, thtukiug he might see
me.
Now what I would like to know
is this: Should I keep on thinking
of and waiting lor him, retraining
irom others, or should 1 wuu
him and ak him for his court
ship? "HLl'K UYKS."
BLl'K KYKS: What gives tho
young man the right to object
to your even conversing with oth
ers.' It would, 1 think, he best for
you to cultivate other friends and
leave such a selfish, egotistical tel
low to get over his sulky attitude.

railroad lines Into this country,
much of his work still being in
daily use by tho Union Pacific
railroad. C. W. Hunt. 637 Reser

this pioneer railway building.
The elder Hunt came West In

he started in the wagon freight

became a. railway uuutractor and
eventually became president ot the
Oregon-Washington territory rail
roads, lie was active in railway
construction until the time of bis
death in Portland In 1'JlO.
Mrs. G. W. Hunt, who survived
her husband by 18 years, was the
daughter of Orange Gayij.U. A per

Among other incidents Mr. Short

INTERESTING SIDELIGHTS ON
OREGON LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Former Secretary of Roseburg Chamber Working For Bill

ticularly Is this tiue in lue house.
It will be recalled that last week
zj members of tiie house persist

bbiy Air. Undon was the cnoiei

obtains, may not last long.
Among the slate house visitors
this week was ii.trrod K. t uily,
not long since secretary of tm
Itoseburg chamber or eomineice.
.Mr. Culiy is working on a bill to
consolidate a number ot slate ag
ricultural boards under one heuu.
The boards which would be abolisli
ed are: State board ol hor.icul
lure, pure seed board, live stock
sanitary board, state veterinarian,
dairy and lood commissioner,
chemist, bacteriologist, livestock
brands board, stallion registration
board, state lair board, market
lojagenl, lime board, and comniitiet
on agricultural lime. With all 01
these commissions under one
head, It Is argued that the farmer
would get more assistance than lit
is receiving under the present sys
tem. In addition, the new plul,
would be more economical.
