Wesley Livsey Jones of Washington, the senatorial sire of the Five & Ten Act, doubtless never gave a thought to the publicity he would come in for. But last week he made it clear he resented joining Mr. Volstead's category. Emphatically he protested: "There is no Jones law!"

For days the cherry tree roots had stood in rotting slime. Their leaves browned, fell off. They were, apparently, dead. But now they had come alive again and were ready to draw multitudes of spring visitors to Washington to gaze in gabbling ecstasy.

...Country, and Woodrow Wilson, who died a martyr to the ideal of making the whole world safe for democracy, and in joyous gratitude I shall thank the "author of liberty" that the Arkansas legislative monstrosity has at last expired. I shall pray devoutly that a blessing may come from the travesty of justice. That the eyes of the people may be opened and that so help us God we will exercise more wisely the God-given right of the ballot. The cessation of unprincipled work of the legislature marks the greatest day for Arkansas since the Armistice...
