No body can enforco It, unless Iho pro hlbltion law Is made a reality to "respectable" iieopto that now Ji nan ro bootlegglug. Congress might caully. discourage respectablo cus tumnrs of tho bootlegger. Make It felony, punished by Imprisonment without option o f fine, to buy liquor. Perfect ability may despise- conslllnttnn and law but repectabllliy does noi. want to go to jail, or be blackmailed by lta bootlegger.

' ! The question .nuturally aj-istj , vtio bus chantfed? Kns Presi dent Hoover chau(?ed liis viewKj of farm relief; has he become a different mini j. v huh fbe Seuaior from Indiana, transform'ed. become a Htatcsnian and liic ol-er to tho Hoover school of ag ricultural betterment? . . . . THE probable answer is "nCitt'ier." Certainly the President hasn't changed, and,' uulcss('.'c are much mistaken, if the seutorian "Jim" could follow liis', natural instincts aud convic tions, he would again be making t .Senate ceiling vibrate with his love for the downtrodden farmver, and Jiic. condemnation of the anti-Debenture form of salvatio.y '.. Hut lie can't.; At least, he can't and kciip his present job as administration leader in the Upper blouse, and a good political job is something the senior Scuatutr front' Indiana has, ne'er been known to relinquish.. IT LS all highly amusing, as fortunately is often the case in politics. For if one couldn't faugh at the political pageant now and. then, there would be no tweape but tlus. Mud-irouse. We only hope President HooverMins a sense of humor, that is, a; more active one than most' p'ertplc believe he has. For in trie stress and strain of this Senate buttle, he could find genuine relaxation and spiritual refreshment by observing the pompous James go soleuuily through 'liis rule,' of Hoover Champion and 'Deliverer. :. -V .' . ; . ( ' A STKANOE OF course Senator Watson is not the only one.. It is an open secret that Vice-President: Curtis Jias about ns much use for President Hoover as he lias for tho Einstein theory which is respect without affection. , ,. His predicainent is not like lhafc; of the Indiaiiit ChittuiKniun, however. The. dislike of Senator NMatson for Mr. Hoover Is the instinctive dislike of the demagogue tor tho statesman There .is no dislike in the Viccy 'resident's reaction. He doesn't hate Mr. Hoover, any more. than lie hates the Einstein theory. Put he warms up to neither because he can't under stand them. ' ' EX-SENATOR Cl'KTlSi is not a Jcmagogiie. He is simply a perfectly regular and entirely, unimaginative partisan. To his mind there are certain definite rides of the. politieul I game, and he instiuctily distrusts any Republican who jjoesn't , strictly adhere to them. .. j' . President Hoover js such a Republican. Mr. Curtis can't understand the appointment of Attorney Clenerul Mitchell, for i example, for while the Minnesota lawyer is extremely able, he 'once voted the Democratic ticket! Nor can he understand the appointment of forlner Vice-President. 'Dawes as Ambiissudor to Croat Britain. - . v -' The. first appointment violates his theory of partisan, and the second his theory . of personal loyHlty. . General Dawes op posed Secretary Hoover's nomination, und contributed to the primary fund of the anti-Hoover cabal. Yet President Hoover turns around and gives hit .primary opponent the most import ant post in the diplomatic service, over the heads of applicants who were his loyal friends. 3 . I One can fairly ncc the passionately purtisun Vice-President scratch his sparsely-thatched dome iu perplexity and niorlil'icu tioli. Iu his school of politics such things arc not done. Put .that is thii Jloovct .way, to fill tho various important posts with the best men he can find, regardless of all partisan aud per soniil considerations. . . .. " f IN other words, as has frequently been pointed out iu this col umn, we have an entirely new type of President in the White House, a type that Republicans like 'Watson inevitably dislike, and Republicans like ex-Senator Curtis cannot understand. ' As surprise and coutrast are important elements of humor, wc linvo an amusing situation now, und more situations of the same kind arc certain to arise. ' ' And, ns has also been pointed out here, sooner or later the people of this country will discover that the election of Mr. Hoo ver as President marked the close of one political epoch, and the beginning of another, iu this interesting and kulicdcscopic land of ours. Even .Senator Robinson upproves of not shaking hands with the President. Shuking fists at him, however, is no doubt an other matter. Senator Jones of Washington iu drinking. He should line up see any ut all. ' ' Arthur Brisbane says u man may be ablo-to buy newspapers without knowing how to run tliein.

Press Comment WISCONSIN WKT; WHAT OF IT? 1 By voting, as Indicated by 'In roinplete returns, for repeal of tho ilate law for enforcement of the federal prohihlllon law. Wisconsin has expressed Its opposition 'to prohibition. But Wlscunsln has a distinct individuality us 'a stute, and Its altitude is no sign of gen eral trend of opinion to ward the wet cause throughout the country. A large proportion of its popula tion by training regards -beer as a food and resents legal Interference with its habits. What element has contlnuod the offensive against dry laws, refusing to accept the eigh teenth amendment as a final set telment of the liquor question. The voters may hnvo been Influenced by tho killing of Mrs. -PeKlng .by a prohibition' officer. , many: of (hem favoring prohibition ,in prin ciple. but recoiling from 'the blood shed in its behalf, particularly Jn the circumstances under which Sirs. DeKing was shot. . . Wisconsin might vote to repeal tho eighteenth amendment, but the states that .might line up with It could bo counted on one liandi The south and west' and the greater part of New Kngland arc Irretriev ably dry. Having found state pro hibition a leaky defense against liquor, tlioso sections declared for national prohibition and are not disposed to change because a few states ' choose to remain lawlessly wet. JCvcn under that condition dry states find enforcement --by the federal governments at the national boundaries more effective than they could have . hoped to make stale enforcement, at their several state boundaries. . , - For several years past a large part of the work of prohibition en forcement has been to . Identify clearly the recalcitrant states. By- Its vote v Isconsln has helped lit this work. It has iu effect invited the federal forces to make an at tack in forco. by voting .to give them no help.
