THE Emmons County Record is res
minded that the United States supreme
court has affirmed the right of states to
enact prohibition laws, and that, there.
fore, the Aerald's suggestion that the ma
tlonal government should respect that
right by the non-issuance of government
licenses in prohibition states in strictly in
order is 1t not7-Grand Forks Herald.
The Record criticised the consistency
and not the constitutionallty of the pro
hlbition law. When the south rebelled
the government and the people of the
north--other than few Copperheads--
had no time to formulate or to refute fine.
spun theories as to the legal right of seces-
sion. Even if there was no mandatory
antl-secesslon provision in the organic
law or in the statutes. the higher law of
necessity required prompt action by the
government. The Record editor is a fed
eralist to the core. He does not believe
that any petty province has moral right
TO antagonize either law or policy of
the Nation. IT, it does SO, the writer be-
lleves that the people of . minor political
division--a city or .county-have the
moral right to remain loyal to the policy
of the Nation as against the province.
What paradox we have had recently in
North Dakota-Un,ted States marshals
chasing liquor.dealers because they had
no federal license, while state officers and
enforcement-league spies pursued others
because they had. The Nation should be
"All Republican or all Cossack." Instead
of altering national policy to conform to
the views of small minority, the Nation
should say to the anti-license nullif1ers:
1.-THE policy of this nation is liquor
license and liquor tax policy. Under it
men have legally invested their money
IN manufacturing plants. Then you out
law them and confscate their property,
while you petsecute retailers licensed by
national authority. The majority rules
in this country. and you must adapt you,
conduct to such rule" Then make the
moral right legal right by constitutional
amendment. In the meantime, the Low
ers of national supremacy should figh,
the nullifiers at every point, and. like the
people of the Missouri Slope, respect the
policy of the Nation rather than that OF
petty subdivision thereof.
BY constitutional amendment, too, the
Nation ought to take to itself the powe,
to prevent the passage of such beastly di
vorce laws as we have in this state.
