GIFFORD PINCHOT
ASSAILS A. MELLON
MELLON REFUSED LAW ENFORCE
MENT AND HAMPERED FOR
MER GOVERNOR
WINONA LAKE, Aug. 22. (^P)—Gif
ford Pinchot, former governor of
Pennsylvania, addressing the Con
gress of world league against alchol
ism assailed Secretary Mellon as “the
chief obstacle to complete enforce
ment by the federal prohibition.” The
speaker declared “back of him, and
therefore chiefly responsible, is Pres
ident Coolidge. For many reasons
Mellon is utterly unfit to have charge
of the enforcement of the ISth Amend
ment. The trouble with the Coolidge
administration is that it has talked in
favor of the Drys but acted in favor'
of the Wets.”
After relating his experience as Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania Pinchot declar
ed emphatically that prohibition can
not be enforced. “My four years of
struggle to make Pennsylvania dry,
proved what is needed to enforce the
law is just one thing, determination,
to see that the law is enforce’d. The
. „ I
chief obstacle to enforcement in Penn
sylvania was the federal government ^
in Washington. The thing which
hampered me beyond all else was the
refusal of Andrew Mellon to have the
law enforced." i

EIIERy MOMENT SENATOR i
WILLIS' TIME OCCUPIED
Senator Frank B. Willis, during his i
visit in the city, was about the busiest
man Seward has seen in many a day, ]
Aside from the task of absorbing gen-;
eral information of not only this dis
trict but other portions of the Terri
tory, Senator Willis was occupied in
meeting many close friends whom he|
has known for years, now residents
of the - city. And with these he
spent a number of -enjoyable hours
recounting days gone by. It is,
believed the Senator enjoyed every
minute of his time in Seward. He
reflected that impression to those who i
paid their respects to him.
In the early hours of yesterday
morning, almost when all of Seward
still slumbered, the Senator was busy,
all alone, in Mayor Ray’s office, writ
ing a million cards and letters. Later
via automobile, he covered all the
roads and highways around Seward.
At noon yesterday he was the lunch
eon guest at the Jesse Lee Home.
He was delighted with this invitation,
the home and the splendid work being
performed for the children. In the
afternoon he conferred with local busi
ness men and in the evening, foliow
, ing a dinner at the Seward Grill, again
met with other business men at the
residence of Mayor Ray.
