Long Bony Finger of Prohibi*
tion Points Across Ocean
to Dawn of Legal
Abolition.
Ship Rum but One Phase
/ By MARK SULLIVAN.
London, June 14.—In the midst of
the seriousness, and in some quarters
the excitement, with which the dry
ship ruling Is being discussed here,
an American can occasionally see it in
a light which provides a smile. The
new rule really brings prohibition
right up to the Englishman's door
step—actually a little beyond it.
Under the ruling, every eastbound
voyage of a transatlantic liner is a
long dry finger that slowly elongates
itself across the ocean, and for a
brief moment before it is withdrawn,
rattles at the Englishman's very door
knob with impudent menace and a
deliberate assurance of evil omen that
worse is to follow.
Uneasy Feeling Prevails.
To the Englishman, who under
British tradition and British law
more concern to the sanctity of
f^ria castle” than we do in America,
the thing is serious and disquieting
If, in addition to having this feeing
about the sanctity of his home, the
particular Englishman happens to be
a sincere believer in and consistent
practitioner of the theory that every
man has a right to take a drink
when he wants it, you can imagine
his emotions when this attenuated,
impious American finger intrudes it
self between his lip and cup.
A good many Americans of the
same point of view and habit can re
member how they felt when prohibi
tion ceased to be a quaint thing you
read about in the papers and became
an actuality that deprived them of a
drink. The idea of prohibition has
made some progress "in England, but
not enough to interrupt the continuity
of steady drinkers nor to cause irrita
tion to xealoua apostles of personal
liberty.
Boose Powerful in Politics.
The brewers and distillers still form
a powerful interest here, as they once
did In America. Lady Astor s bill is
pending in parliament to prevent the
sale of liquor to hoys and girls under
18, and the difficulty she has had in
bringing It to a vote recalls the old
lays In American legislatures.
In spite of all this, a reasonable
^MWi'ran. who admits that our tech
nicality is not very gracious as a
■natter of the comity of nations, is
able to find equally reasonable Eng
lishmen who concede that it is not
any worse than the technicality of
international law, which permits Brit
ish vessels to camp outside the three
mile limit and provide our criminals
with material for carrying on their
trade.

Harding to
Figure in
Senate Race
Reaches Decision to Use In
fluence in Minnesota at
Conference ^ith G.
O. P. Committee.
Campaign Plans Formed
By GEORGE F. AITHIER.
WaHhlDKton Correspondent The Omaha Bee.
Washington, June 14.—President
Harding has decided to throw the
weight of his personal influence into
the Minnesota senatorial campaign
for the election of a successor to
Knute Nelson.
Conditions confronting the party
were laid before the president today
at the White House by the republican
senatorial committee anil it was then
determined to risk a test of the presi
dent.al strength by a direct appeal
for support of the administration.
While the president will go west
ward by way of St. I.ouls and Kansas
City, the speeches made in that sec
tion will be used in Minnesota to
bolster up the cause. The executive
is being urged to write a letter
which will be in the nature of an ap
peal to the voters of Minnesota.
Speeches Suit Conditions.
The senatorial committee, which
consisted of Senators Moses of New
Hamshire, Wadsworth of New York
and Pepper of Pennsylvania, went
over the speeches which the president
will make on his western trip and It
was decided that they would he ap
plicable to the Minnesota battle
ground.
After the president has delivered
his world court speech at St. Louis he
will discuss transportation at Kansas
City and agriculture at Hutchinson,
Kan., the two subjects In which the
voters of Minnesota and tlie entire
northwest are most earnestly inter
ested. It is planned to flood Min
nesota with thesce documents.
In addition to this, it was deter
mined to fill the state with republican
speakers so far as the “Big Berthas ’
can be assembled.
Senator Moses will leave for Min
nesota about June 25 or 26, immedi
ately after the primaries, for the pur
pose of conferring with the repub
lican leaders. He explains he is not
going to run the campaign, but to
offer to the local leaders whatever
assistance the republican senatorial
committee can give.
Situation Disquieting.
Despite a cheerful attitude taken
by the republican senators, the Min
nesota reports have caused disturb
ance In administration circles. In the
last election, the farmer-labor candi
date for governor defeated Senator
Kellogg, while the party's candidate
for governor reduced the majority
of the present state executive from
nearly 200,000 which he received two
years ago, to a little less than 12,000.
l.’nder the leadership of Senator La
Follette of Wisconsin, the farmers of
the northern group of states, includ
ing Wisconsin, Minnesota and the two
Dakotas, are reported to he In a state
of unrest which makes this entire
group a battle ground unless the tide
is stemmed.
Promises Co-Operation.
Commenting on the conference with
the president. Senator Moses said to
day neither the world court nor the
prohibition question were taken up.
The weRtern situation and the argu
ments which President Harding will
address to it on his forthcoming trip
on the subjects nf transportation, agri
culture and taxation, furnished the
chief topic of conversation.
"President Harding." Senator
Moses added, “showed very keen In
terest in cooperating with the com
mittee and promised co-operatjon at
all times. I think I violate no confi
dence wften 1 say that we discussed
partisan politics."
Kmpha.sl2lng that the administra
tion does not intend to take any part
in the Minnesota primary. Senator
Moses said the republican nominee
chosen would very likely receive a
letter from President Hnrdlng. Mem
bers of the committee conferred after
leaving the president upon plans for
the future campaign. Such aid will
be given as may be requested by the
republicans of Minnesota.
Johnson's Chances Slight.
Senator Moses thought the chances
of Magnus Johnson, the probable
nominee of the farmer labor parly,
were alight, on the ground he was
defeated In the last election for gov
ernor.
“What has happened,” he asked,
"to make him stronger now than he
was last November'.’
"The republican party is stronger
now than It was then. Km one thing,
we were out in the campaign with a
new tnrilT hill on the hooks. The re
stills of the tariff have been more
beneficial ihan the most ardent advo
cates hoped for. There has been no
Impeding of export trade; Import
trade has been such ns to cause no
alarm or competition with domestic
producers. The tariff has Justified
Itself The republican situation gen
ernllv Is mut It better than It was last
November "
Senator Moses docs not look for a
coalition between the democrats and
farmer-labor fot t ea, believing Unit
the democrats would prefer to hold
their lines Intact for their own candi
dates.

resigned on June 6. to return and
resume his office. Oen. Feng Yu
