General Andrews on Wednesday told the senate com mittee investigating the prohibition question that he believes the sale of non intoxicating beer under government control would improve conditions ; , . , Therefore he believes the present laws are wrong. ' And, so believing, he is not a fit man to have charge of .their enforcement; no matter how efficient he might be in some other line. , HJs Position is analagous to a general of an army fight ing in a war waged in a cause he considered wrong. Such a , general would be as bad as a spy. , , I :And the fact is that non intoxicating beer is now manu factured in this country. Just what does General Andrews mean by non intoxicating, beer? Does he mean that it must contain less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol, as is now provided in this country? Or does he mean four per cent, which is the government limit in Canada? Competent Canadian; testimony before the senate committee yesterday declared ihat the bootleggers and moonshiners of Canada do not' consider this strong enough, and that government sale of. liquors in Canada is a failure; that it has brought condi tions that are worse than those of the old saloon days.

But it is a moral wrong for anyone to; hold a position-, that calls for their enforcement whjjeeli even impractical. .;b the name of .'decency and good government, General Andrews should step aside. And so should every other offi cial hih or low, having such duties as his, in the federal, state county or city service in this whole country. HOW SHALL CITY RECORDER BE CHOSEN? I r a i .... There is pending before the Salem city council, and now in the hands of the proper committee, an ordinance proposing - , ,to submit to "the vote of the people at the May primaries a . ..charter, amendment giving to the city council the duty of fleeting the city recorder. That officer is now elected by the people "pf . the city, i' v This matter was up two years ago, and the ordinance was drafted then; but the present city recorder was a candi date for his second term, and Mayor Giesy advised that the matter be put over till the present time, jn justice to him. The members of the city council who are proposing this charter amendment believe itst enactment by the vote of the peoplewould makelfor greater harmohy and ef ficincy in the rnunicipal business and government." They j argue that this is thVcase with the chief engineer of ;the 'fire department, the head of the street department, and the : other officials chosen by the counciL That question . is not being argued here ;: the facts are merely being given. . .. ii . - The chief of police is appointed by the mayor now, with the consent of the! majority nof the city council.' That was provided for at the! last election, by charter amendment, and it is generally agreed that the results have been good., T ' tl giit the case as to the of f ke of city recorder is different, in that the proposal is to Authorize the filling of that -place by the city council, which is elected ' by te people, and not by nomination of the mayor; and the confirmation of the city council.; . - - f ;i , .' This explanation is 'due to Mayor. Giesy, because he has ; been accused of putting this proposition forward for spite, or that Salem's future mayor ma have the powers of a czar. ;As Mr(: Giesy is not a candidate for reelection, the latter charge is uncalled for, and there-is nothing' in the former, because the ; new mayor ': would have no power in the matter, ' If the proposed amendment should carry. . v - I: r: h - 4 4 DRYS SAY CANADA 5 v tv -FAILED HI TESTS . , . - " (CaBtlauad from paga U ' - : tlons - paid be, with this enlarged I ! free:-.a. tit prow In boysaad 1 : glrla.'-. tf the prohibition law' were . ot-M. effect, be satdX If s pro hibition "were 7 tfot a existence -1 here -rou1 be an.

Wilcox pro. f essor of economics at Cornell university. The chart on alcohol ism showed a sharp drop from 191$ to 1920 with a sharp rise during prohibition until in 1925 almost a pre-war level had been reached. Statements from business men and civic and other societies in Boston were filed with the col onel by the ReV. William M. For grave. of Boston, president of the Massachusetts state Anti-Saloon league. These told of Improved conditions under prohibition. WASHINGTON. April 17. (By Associated Press.) .After an hour's conference tonight, the legislative committee of the Anti Saloon league announced that it had no statement to make at the present tinfe concerning the testi mony of General Lincoln C. An drews, , prohibition enforcement chief, before the senate judiciary committee. Some dry leaders over the coun try have demanded that General Andrews resign because of his ex pressed opinion that the sale of non-intoxicating beer might prove an aid to prohibition enforcement. These demands have reached the committee and have been consid ered at a series of meetings. After the conference ; tonight Bishop James Cannon, Jr., chair man of the committee, issued the statement: "The legislative committee of .the Anti-Saloon league of America has authorized no official state ment concerning the testimony given at public hearings before the sub-committee of the senate committee on judiciary and the committee has' no statement to make at the present time. constant curling I f AND WAVING ) .Girls just must curl and wave bobbed hair to appear their pret tiest.

John Brophy is putting in an irrigation plant. , with a big 3-Inch pump. Fred Kurtz, on Kaiser bottom, Is put ting in a still bigger one, with a 5-inch pump, capable of pumping the water to make a small sized river.

To say nothing of an educational campaign to make it popular to show that the absence of booze is a good thing for any country. state, county or city, or Individual. It might be like Christianity it might be a good thing if It were tried out once. No one has ever yet tried Christianity as its direc tions were given out by its Author, in the only long discourse He ever gave, -the Sermon , on . the Mount. Dust off your Bible and read it. and say if you ever saw or heard of a Christian.

Option on Tuxedo Tract Conditional Dear Editor: An article appearing in the evening paper stating that an op tion on the Geiser tract In Tuxedo Park has been definitely refused to school authorities is evidently an error. "No one of the school authori ties has asked for an option on this tract therefor its refusal to them was impossible. Mr. Geiser was asked by several real estate men if he would give them an op tion until the latter part of June. This he refused for the reason that the best part of the season for selling building lots would be over by then in the event that the site was again turned down. . . . "The Geiser tract cf ' Tuxedo Park was on the market just ready to be sold as lots when this school site proposition came up. ' How- Lift Off-No Pain! Doesn't 'hurt one bit!
