CAMEL TO SIM WHERE ELEPHANT AND ROOSTER DID leaders See Party Lines Obliterated With Wet and Dry Issue. By N. D. Cochran, Tines Staff CorresDondent WASHINGTON, June 2.—Prohibition split the Democratic party wide open in 1912. It is now performing a similar operation on the Republican party. But the breach in the Democratic party is'not healing and the politicians face the prospect of both parties entering the next presidential election all shot to pieces. Politicians may holler their heads off about the tariff,'the League of Nations, the world court or even relief for the exploited and distressed farmers, but the people generally get np kick out of them. None of these issues stirs up the fighting blood of anybody except those directly interested. What everybody is talking about is prohibition. You can get an argument anywhere and at any time on light wine and beer. States’ rights or any phase of the prohibition issue. On both sides of the argument, partisans are quick to boil over with intolerance, bitterness and downright Vindictiveness. Wets and Drys The dividing line between parties Is fading out. Partisans are lining tip as wets and drys. Prohibitionists don’t care a darn what else a man tands for or against so long as he Is dependably dry. An anti-prohibi-tionists will take unto their political bosoms any old kind who Is dependably wet. A Democratic Congressman from Massachusetts, Gallivan, says if :Williahi B. Wilson, Democratic candidate for United States Senator from Pennsylvania is an anti-Saloon League dry then he and other wet Democratic Congressmen will go indo Pennsylvania and make speeches for Vare, a wet Republican candidate. A Republican Congressman, Tinkam from Massachusetts, demands the- Anti-Saloon League be investigated and particularly the charge that a Michigan Republican has accepted money from the 'anti-Saloon League which is interested in legislation before Congress. . This stand-pat Republican from President Coolidge’s State charges the league controls the Government by money so that “free government ■ has become a mockery and a phantom.” Grave Charge He makes the grav§ charge that the Anti-Saloon League has raised “an irrepressible conflict and has severed the United States as with a knife.” It lias placed those who believe in liberty and the separation of church and State in fatal con--flict with those who assent to bondage and ecclesiastical political control. * * * It has packed the Federal bench and has destroyed ’confidence in its intellectual integrity. It has reached successfully into the Supreme Court with its sinister propaganda for its abolishment of liberties for the individual. It has appointed United States attorneys and has dominated the prohibition enforcement unit. It gives money to members of Congress.” On the other hand, Senator Borah, Republican .bitterly denounces New -York State for refusing to help enforce the Volstead act and her “disloyalty to the fundamental principles ■ upon which the Government Is ’founded.” And he bitterly assails the New York State referendum, drafted by former Senator and Secretary of State Elihu Root, Republican. On the Democratic side. Governor Smith of New York, Governor Ritchie of Maryland, and other prominent northern and eastern Democrats are .fighting prohibition and the Democratic solid South is backing the Republican Anti-Saloon League to the limit. In Illinois, George Brennan. Democrat, is running for United States Senator as a wide-open wet, while in Pennsylvania former Secretary of Labor Wilson, Democrat, is running as a bone dry with Anti-Saloon League backing. In New Yqrk, Senator Wadsworth, RATHER JUST SIT AROUND? A Feeling Many Have Which Is Often Mistaken for Laziness When Really It Is Due to Constipation. “Black-Draught Is certainly a mighty good medicine to have,” says Mr. J. A. Tuck, of Redfield, Ark. “We use it about all the time. I take it for indigestion and headache. “If I get constipated and bilious, I feel like sitting around instead of working. I haven’t any ambition to get up and get busy, but after I take a few doses of Black-Draught, and it acts, I feel til right. Black-Draught hasn't failed- me yet. “My daughter wasn't well. Had gas formations that seemed to smother_lier. £>he would have trouble in getting her breath. She was sallow and peaked. Now she takes Black-Draught and it seems to help her. She takes it after meals. This seam's to dispel the gas, and she is much better than she was. Her skin cleared up considerably; “We wouldn’t be without BlackDraught. It is a good medicine.” . Thousands of others would not want to be without Black-Draught, since they have learned how valuable its use is. In cases of constipation and ills due to that very common trouble. Black-Draught Is easily obtainable from neighborhood druggists, in 25c packages. Give it a good trial.

Republican, will run for re-election as a wet and In Ohio, Senator Willis as a bone dry Anti-Saloon Leaguer. The Democrats may. profit by this year’s election, because they are nearly all dry in the South and there Is no general disturbance over this issue there. But in 1928 the situation will be different because of the vast preponderance of electorial votes in the big Industrial States. Among the interesting posslblitles for 1928 is that of the Republican party becoming the liberal or modernist party with Democrats as the prohibition fundamentalists. cityMF ENTERIN CASE Move Made to Protect Segregation Ordinance. City of Indianapolis, represented by Corporation- Counsel Alvah J. Rucker, today filed a petition In Federal Court asking that the city be allowed to intervene in the case of Edward S. Gaillard against Guy L. Grant, both Negroes, in which Gaillard attacks the validity of the city race segregation ordinance. Gaillard charges Grant was to buy property from him at 2311 Bellefontaine St. and, after entering into a contract to do so, refused because of the existing ordinance. Gaillard has petitioned the court to pronounce the ordinance void. Rucker points out that the ordinance was legally passed and in order to protect the rights of Indianapolis citizens the city should be permitted to be a party defendant in the' case. LI. S.

Miss Marie Majors repairing on© of lier trucks.

Miss Marie Majors Proprietor of Vault Cleaning Company. The proprietor of the Enterprise Odorless Vault and Sink Cleaning Company, Miss Marie Majors, 30, of 1075 W. Michigan St., was announced today as winner of the unique business women's contest, conducted by The Indianapolis Times and the Woman's Department Club. She will receive a SIOO prize. Miss Isadore Kessler, Miss Daisy Reagan and Mrs. Margaret L. Shuler of the club, who judged the contest, selected Miss Majors as winner after reading the many letters submitted. Caroline G. Gogen, 1641 Nr'New Jersey St., who was the first to submit Miss Major’s name in the contest, will receive a $lO award. Aided by Everett Yancey, an employe, Miss Majors was overhauling a truck motor when she was informed she won the contest. “Ah, quit your kidding me,” she said looking up from her work. “That’s too good to be true. What have you to show, you mean what you ray?" she queried. Started as Nurse Born in Indianapolis, Miss Majors began her career as a nurse, graduating from the city hospital. Twelve years ago her grandmother, who operated the present business, became ill and was unable to carry on. Miss Majors gave up nursing to operate the company, because “it would make money.” The firm cleans and installs sewers, septic tanks, sinks and vaults. i . Miss Majors believes one learns by doing. “When I started out I didn’t know anything about the business, but now I can handle plumber’s tools as good as anyone,” she said. She drives her own “flivver” and trucks and keeps Jhem in repair. Lives Alone Miss Majors expects to continue her business as long as there *s “anything to do." But If she ever gives It up she probably will return to nursing. She lives alone In a three-room house across the street from the Robert W. Long Hospital. “I’m too busy to get lonesome,” she said. "I am busy all day and at night I read or work fixing up a couple of houses I bought In tne neighborhood. ,1 have put new roofs and weather boarding on them and have papered the rooms. Sometimes I have a man help. “At night I usually read medical books. I like to keep up on things in the medical world. On I frequently drive to Madison, where my mother lives. “This work may not be as interesting to some women as having a family, but I think I can handle It better. “I like to be outdoors, where you get fresh air. maybe that’s why my work is fascinating. But you have to work at anything to succeed. “Modern times are pretty good, I think. There is greater opportunity than ever for women in business. Prohibition is a good thing because you can get more work out of men. Miss Majors is a blonde and wears her hair long. “Bobbed hair is all right, but I didn't think it would look good on me,” she said. “I am the president of the company and manager, bookkeeper, clerk and purchasing agent. I don’t need to keep many books, because when I finish a job I go on to another, and what money I have is mine after I pay for labor.” NO TRACE OF BANDITS i Robbers Make Getaway After Crothersville Bank Hold-Up.
