Prohibition Is Most Popular
Law Ever Written, Dan Moody
Declares at W. C, T. U. Meeting
BY RAYMOND BROOK8
AUSTIN, May 29.—The Literary
Digest poll on prohlbtlon Is mis-
leading and prohibition "is the most
popular law that has been written
Into the constitution and on the
statute books In this country since
the adoption of the constitution,”
Gov. Dan Moody of Texas said in
an address before the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union here.
Those who hailed the poll aB an
indication of change In the senti-
ment of the country on prohibition
are "whistling past a graveyard,”
he asserted, “but are mistaken In
their belief that prohibition is los-
ing ground.”
Failure of the poll to give a cross
section of the nation or attitude
of the whole people on the ques-
tion is that those who oppose pro-
hibition and are dissatisfied with
existing conditions make their pro-
test; but those satisfied with con-
ditions “do not go to the trouble to
Express their satisfaction or make
it known.
"The anti-prohibitionists,” Gov.
Moody charged, "feeling that it in-
dicates a growth of sentiment ag-
ainst prohibition, will be encour
aged by this poll to wage a relent-
less and insidious warfare against
prohibition and the friends of pro-
hibition are called upon to support
prohibition as never before.”
Gov. Moody said there' are two
classes of prohibitionists: Those
converted from the heart; those
converted from the mind and fav-
or prohibition because the liquor
traffic used to elect the wrong kind
of people to office.”
Gov. Moody paid tribute to the
efforts of chutrches, the WCTU
and other organizations as having
“waged the greatest campaign of
education on the North American
continent.
“I hope all temperance organiza-
tions,” he said, "and1 all friends of
prohibition will join in a new and
more active campaign of education
for prohibition among the youth of
the land.”

Would Require Bond
WASHINGTON, May 29. (U.R) —
A bill requiring that all prohibition
agents give a bond of $10,000 was
introduced today in the senate by
Senator Hawes, Democrat, Mis-
souri. The bond would be for pay-
ment of damages for wrongfully or
negligently causing personal in-
jury or death on, damage.
“Redemption” Opens
Palace Theatre
J
“T&'
Tolstoi called the story,
Living Corpse”—a drama of a
man dead to the world, but tragic-
ally alive to the turmiol within his
own soul.
And this story, as “Redemption,”
John Gilbert’s latest all-talking
screen vehicle, now playing at the
Palace Theatre, is one of the fin-
lest pictures that the screen has
seen in many a long season.
. "Redemption” sets a new mark
for artistic achievement on the
screen, and provides Gilbert with
a worthy successor io “The Big
Parade-”
As the tfagic victim of conflict
between love and the call of ances-
tral instincts, Gilbert plays one of-
the most complicated of characters
and plays It so skillfully that
every step in its strange, dramatic
psychology, is clear as a bell. It is
in this that Gilbert’s greatness as
an actor is shown.
Fred Niblo directed the story
with many deft touches that add
materially to its effectiveness. The
dramtic situation is lightened by
spectacular gypsy festivals, the
colorful Russian church ceremony
and other elaborate details.
T o of Gilbert’s former heroines,
Eleanor Boardman and Renee
Adoree, appear in the picture, Miss
Boardman as the wife and Miss
Adoree as the strange gypsy
charmer who stands between them
with heruncanny fascination. Both
play thir roles splendidly.
Conrad Nagel, as Victor, the
friend has a sympathetic role that,
furnishes a vivid contrast to the
fiery impetuosity of Gilbert’s por-
trayal. He gives a restrained de-
piction. Claire MacDowell is seer,
in the mother role as Anna.

Hot summer days and uncomfortably warm nights have ar-
rived. This typical Texas weather will continue from now until
the latter part of September, or almost four months.
When natural breezes cease, an electric fan brings freedom from
heat, in the home, in the office, in the store.
Economical to use (two full hours for less than one cent) and
built for long service (20 years of average use) an electric fan adds
to human comfort and relieves summer fatigue.

He further lamented the existen-

"unjust" levies the only medium by
whiih tho highway system can be
improved at the present.
Stresses Local Initiative
Highway development in Texas
still depends upon local initiative,
he said supporting the view with
quotations of how counties must
vote bonds to receive apportion-
ments from state and federal funds.
"! am not speaking against the
issuance of county and road dis-
trict bonds for the building of high-
ways under our present system of
financing road building," Gov.
Moody said. “Unless the laws are
changed that is tho only way to pay
for the road, but I am speaking for
a change in our system of financing
that will no longer make the issu-
anceof bonds by these subdivisions
necessary in order to build connec-
ted highways.
“The state has taken over the
state highways, and it should as-
sume the payment of the bonds
where the proceeds of the bonds
have been used to help pay the
cost of building state highways.
The homes and farms of Texas
sliould bo relieved of the ad valor-
