What was tlio outlook for !..ii.mi Tn fliln rrltl In thn lives of nlcohollcally thirsty American-), what rould he oltcr to renuvr mvir miniums tnJ anxiety. This was Ms answer: "Nothing not a cnunce. "Not a Clianco for Kccr" .. i- iI.a .lira1 nnawrp. for Afr. Wheeler, as general counsel for the most vorld, and who has had his way with Congress down to me preunt inumuiH, ipcals as their acknowledged lender. "There isn't a chance for lieer," he itjoverntcd. "They may as well forget it. I say there-is about as much chance of having beer bnck as there., is In re rcaling the Eighteenth Amendment, and I &ay thnt because you can't enforce the Eighteenth Amendment with n beer exemption in tlio cniorrcmcni lire. j.ne ..jL in Mmn whether wo shall en force the inw or nullify it.

"A dry country," was the prompt reply. "No amendment to the Federal Constitution lias ever ucen repealed, r,nii rut if! nil. nnd thn Eiclitppiith Amendment never will be. The only ijaestion is whether it will be enforced." "Hut mere nrc n good ninny Amen -Mnq whn don't nirree with .vou?" he was reminded. "They think the Vol ttead net, nt least, will be modilicd. and that beer will come unci; to stay. "Let 'cm think it," he smiled. "We don't care!" Dry Majority In Congress Sure. Thla Tinturnllv Ininllpil nil Imnlipii confidoncc in the dry control of Con tress. He was asked about that angle of the question. "The dry majority In Congress will grow stronger rather than weaker," was the reply, "bccaiiM! our people be lieve in law and order, and jou can not enforce nntioual prohibition with out nawng nn ndequnie iuw entoree ment code to do it. And this dry ma jority is n majority against beer as well as a majority ngainst liquor." ii mj mvii, uu mi; tibuiiui'll iui 11 lJbcrnli7ntlon of the, prohlbltioh net? Why nre men demanding beer? And If enough of them demnnd it, why enn't tlicy get It? The answer to the first question and an Indirect answer to the others entno immediately." "All propaganda. Tho brewers are busy. The score of wet organizations which have recently been organized may fool n few of their wet contributors, but they will never fool n majority of tho people. Tho latest organization, called tho Sanity League of America, Is organized to legalize 'the open sale of wines nnd beer.' Such an organiza tion might well bo called tho Insane League of America, because Congress will never nullify the Eighteenth Amendment, in my judgment, by any Euch indcfcnsiblo tactics " That Is tho "dry; side of the story, and it is a sldo that has all its en tries, since the prohibition account was opened, on tlio right side of the ledger. Everything the drys have asked, prac tically speaking, Congress has given them. k1iiH Heaters, Ranges Fireplace Equipment Itrpnlr gltrn liromnt "Mention and bent work, muniililii. J.
