...have been interested in reading the letters exchanged through your pages by vehement supporters of Ohio and West Virginia. In the interest of fair play, although an Ohioan I wish to take exception to the letter of George Zweiger (TIME, Feb. 28) in which he referred to West Virginia as "Ohio's coal bin."

Last week, an obese Ohioan, Roy Asa Haynes, was knocked off his Prohibition horse which, in the opinion of critics, he has riden none too ably during the four years that have elapsed since President Harding appointed him to the munificent office of Prohibition Commissioner...
