If Prohibition had tongue and could use

III Prohibition had tongue and could use
1t we feel quite certain that 1t would appea,
to Its friends to moderate their ZEAL and not
expose 1t at present to any more tests of the
kind that 1t has been subjected to In New
Hampshire and Massachusetts,. Many good
causes have been hurt by over Jealous adyo-
Gates, but il has been many years since n
good cause has received SO many serious set
backs because its advocates lacked shrewd-
ness, as the cause of prohibition has met
within few months past, and is destined to
meet within a few months to come. Prohi-
Dition has been the policy Of New Hamp-
shire for many years. Putting 1t in the con.
stitution would not strengthen its enforce
ment, and In view of the experience of
Rhode Island, it is doubtful If 1t would
much add to its permanency. But its over
Jealous friends thought 1t ought to go into
the constitution. Sothey had an amendment
submitted to the people. Then they pro-
claimed that a vote against the amendment
was tantamount to a declaration against
prohibition, which was not true, but which
the enemies of prohibition were only too
glad to let pass unquestioned. The vote was
taken, and the majority of the people de-
ciolOu dbaiuct tno dincuuultut. linen OF
course the enemies Of prohibition proceeded
to constrce the result as its foolish friends
had said 1t ought to be construed, namely, as
declaration on the part Of the people of
New Hampshire that they did not believe iE
prohibitory law. The result of the New
Hampshire campaign. interpreted as the Pro-
hibitionists said it should be. was therefore
demonstration that the present prohibitory
law was against public opinion. In Massa-
chusetts the performance of the Prohibition
leaders was even more foolish, for there the
chance OF carrying an amendment was inf
nitely less than in New Hampshire. Now
in Pennsylvania they are to repeat the per-
formance under circumstances still more
unfavorable. And not content with two de-
feats and an opportunity for another. they
have recently demanded chance to submit
an amendment In Connecticut. where defeat
is quite as certain as in Pennsylvania.

One hundred years ago to-day the forma-
tion Of the government of the United
States was completed in all its essen
tial features with the Inauguration of
George Washington as the first executive
head of the nation. Notwithstanding the
outward manifestations of Joy, not
witnstanding the universal enthusiasm that
greeted Washington on his arrival in New
York to enter upon the duties Of the office
to which he had been chosen, we may well
believe that great many of the wisest
statesmen Of the period were full of misgiv-
ings as they saw the launching of the scheme
of self government which they had helped
to create upon the stormy sea
OF practical trial. The constItu-
tion as 1t had been formed, In great
many of its features represented a compro-
mise of views, sort of averaging, as it were,
Of the wisdom of its creators. The makers
Of 1t had few precedents to guide them, and
for the most part the final outcome Of those
precedents had been failures. Would their
work stand the test of the trial that was
about to be begun? That was the question
which thoughtful men all over the country
were asking themselves one hundred years
ago today, when George Washington took
the oath Of President Of the United States
and delivered his inaugural address. A hun
dred years have passed. The constitution
remains today with its essential features un-
changed. The government which it brought
into being has stood as great test as ever
government was exposed to, and not been
found wanting. Could its founders today re-
view with us the history of the century they
would stand amazed at the strength and
perpetuity of their creation.
Celebrating today the anniversary of the
beginning Of our experiment in self govern
ment, the greatest and most successful the
world ever saw, we cannot pronounce a eu-
logy too glowing to the wisdom, the fore
sight and the virtue of the men who laid the
foundation Of this nation. And the central
thought of all the orations that will be deliv-
cred today should be the obligation we of
today are under to the fathers of the Repub-
lie. Where has human foresight been SO
grandly displayed as In this constitution OF
ours. which, created when the nation consist
ed Of thirteen States along the seaboard and
less than three millions of people, has proved
broad enough to cover whole continent and
strong enough to preserve the rights and lib
critics of sixty millions Of people? Where
has the work of finite mind been subjected
to so severe test as was this government
which was started on its career one hundred
years ago today, by the long years of civil
strife from 1860 to 1865, without giving way
History is ransacked in vain for SO grand
and enduring tribute to the human mind as
the constitution Of the United States of
America

mourn the loss OF earth's best friend.
She was a humble Christian, a member of

children and near friends at her bedside,
dearly loved and loved to the last, she
laid life's burden down and sweetly
passed away from earth to the heavenly
reward.

We have been in business twenty.six
