From Saturday s Dally Last evening the blue and white warriors of the local high school bas ket ball team staged a strong come back from their defeat of the last week at the hands of the North High of Omaha, when they showed their real form and demolished the Peru Prep school team by the score of 35 to 5. From the start it was clear to see that the visitors were headed for a sure defeat as they were unable to solve the Plattsmouth attack or break through the defense of the local quintet for effective plays. In fact the locals were on the offensive the greater part of the time and kept the old ball rolling into the basket with regularity. Thirteen field goals were rung up by the Plattsmouth team and nine free throws were also made by the locals. The Peru Prep team made but two field goals and one free throw out of three attempts. The locals were given but two fouls while. Peru had ten taxed against them by the referee. The locals substituted freely in the last half of the game and Rebal. Wescott and Jack Hatt of the regu lars were given a rest in the last quarter of the game when Gerald Smith, Stewart Egenberger and George Perry appeared on the floor and Smith made the third high point record of the game with two field goals and two free throws. Jack Hatt was the hottest of the locals and annexed six field goals in the struggle, five of these being in the opening half of the game. With the score of 20 to 2 at the half the locals largely played a de fensive game in the last half but added fifteen points to their score for good measure. The box score of the game was as follows: Pern r; I'T F T Bath. 0 0 0 0 Brisrgs. 0 0 0 0 Adams. ; 0 0 3 0 Railsbeck. 1 0 3 2 Powell. 0 0 C 0 Majors, 0 0 10 Dillon, 0 0 2 0 Sophcr, 1113 TOTALS Plattsmonth- Rebal.

Otto Wurl. Jr.. son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Wurl. former! of this city, was the outstanding star of the Bloomers, securing six of the ten points. Galloway and Sharp for the Plattsmouth each se cured four points while Dew- writh a free throw made the additional point for his team. WHY NOT? Martin L. Davey. member of con gress from 14th district, Ohio, has introduced a bill in congress to give the president blanket power for two years to recognize the business structure of the government also statement giving reasons for it. "For seven years." Mr. Davey says, "I have observed the depart ments and bureaus of the govern ment at Washington at close range, having had official business with nearly all of them. I am simply ap palled at the loafing, indifference and inefficiency. There are thousands upon thousands of unnecessary em ployes and endless duplication of al leged effort. There is an inexcus able waste of much more than a half billion dollars a year." "The tendency is to increase, rather than to diminish, the personnel and expense of government. "The thing proposed in my bill ought to be done. In all probability it is the only way that it evr will be done. It is doubtful if real gov ernment reorganization will be ac complished by congressional action. The question is. will congress pass such a drastic measure? Congress will do it, if public opinion demands it in a way that is vocal and pre sistant." A private corporation which had grown topheavy with overhead and dead timber, would pursue the course advocated by Mr. Davey it would be up to the president olt the com pany to correct his organization. Then why is it not god business to have the president of the United States, the greatest corporation in the world, follow the same course?

Edge, Dill Debate Prohibition Law in Radio Speeches Both Agree Smuggling, Corruption, Disprespect Are Among the Effects. Washington, Feb. 4. Prohibition six years of almost unlimited smug gling, widespread corruption in high official places, a veritable flood of dangerous moonshine, and general disrespect for all law. With that agreed as common ground. Senators Edge (rep.. N. J.), outstanding wet leader in congress, and Dill (rep.. Wash.), as ardent a dry, argued tiie wisdom and possi bility of modifying the Volstead act tonight in a debate broadcast joint ly by radio stations WRC in Wash ington and WJZ in New York. "The time has arrived to face the facts, and no longer fall back on bluster and subterfuge." challenged Senator Edge. "Any law that has brought in its train the havoc, the defiance, and the corruption which has followed the Volstead act can not be successfully defended." "There is no debate about these facts." admitted Senator Dill, a few than his opponent in reviewing the "evil" that has followed the adoption of prohibition. Print Empringham Report. "Bootleggers have smuggled great quantities of liquor into this country from Canada and other foreign countries." he declared. "Breweries, illicit stills, and home brewing have produced and distributed large quantities of poisonous liquor among cur people. Worst of all, those en gaged in this illegal traffic have cor rupted many of the people appointed to stop the traffic." Early in the day Senator Edge pucceeded in obtaining the senate's approval to insert the full text of the r pert of the Church Temperance rociety of the Episcopal church, de nouncing prohibition as a complete failure, in The Congressional Record. Objections from drys in the house prevented Representative John Phillip Hill (rep. Mr.) from obtaining the assent of the house to the print ing of the Empringham report as a part of. its record. Senator Edge, however, was pre pared for the attack on the scheme in the senate and when Senator Willis (rep.. O. ) declared he would insist that the retort of Wayne B. Wheeler general coun-el of the Anti-Saloon j Ii.aeue. be published at the same time, he found the Xew Jersey senator only toe willinc to assent. "I would be glad to have Mr. Wheeler's statement published," he declared, "if for no other reason than as n display of something profoundly ridiculous." "Dr. Empringham's frank and com prehensive statement in unanswer able." continued Senator Edge to his colleagues, "and coming from the source it does, it will be most help ful in ultimately compelling common sense modification of the Volstead act. Till Urges Enforcement. In much the same vein. Senator Edge told his radio audience that op rosiiion to the amendment to the Volstead act comes from two sources ot legr-trs who fear to lose their profits and extreme drys drv becau t.vv are professional "drvs," or be - cause they stubbornly refuse to see conditions about them. asked Sena - "What csn we do: tor Dill, when he replied to Senator Edge, declaring that repeal of the Eighteenth amendment is impossible and aborting tht the return of beer and vine would be followed by the return of hr.rdcr drinks. "There is only one course to fol low, if we are to remedy the evils that confront us. and that is straight forward, honest course obeying and enforcing the law." of, A four-fold program, nationwide educationl including a i campaign against the use of alcohol and in favor of law enforcement and obedience to law: the use of the navy if necessary to block licjuor smuggling from Eur ope; better salaries for prohibition agents to remove them from present graft temptations; and the inclusion of the prohibition unit in the classi fied civil service system, was suggest ed by Senator Dill a3 the solution of the whole problem. u e nave never naci real law en forcement since the Eighteenth amendment wat adopted, but poor as. the enforcement has been, the bene fits are greater than have ever flowed from any reform in the United States unless it be the abolition of slavery. asserted Senator Dill. Retort to Emprinirham. I New York. Feb. 4. The world league aeainst alcoholism in a state-' ment made public today by Robert E. Corradini of its research department, j took issue with the report yes terday of Rev. James Empringham,' national secretary of the Church Tem perance Society of the Episcopal church, purporting to show that pro hibition has been a failure. ! The statement clyillenged every point in the results of Dr. Empring ham's survey of prohibition en forcement, which caused the Epis copal organization to reverse its at titude toward the Volstead act and announce that it would work for the' legalization of light wines and beers. S "Alcoholism in the United States, before the prohibition was decidedly, beer and wine alcoholism and the legalizing of these beverages would bring back 90 per cent of the old i liquor traffic," said the statement. The league aJso contended that the only surveys published do not indicate that there has been an increase of drinking among young people. "The real situation," it added, "is that prohibition had decreased the actual consumption of wine and beer to a larger extent than it has decreas ed the consumption of hard liquor." EAGLES ?
