"Shall the People Rule"

A correspondent writes the
Globe Democrat as follows:-The
question is not prohibition. 1t is
not whether prohibition is right or
wrong. 1t is not whether prohibit
ton will prohibit or not. The
question is, shall the people have
an opportunity of saying whether
they do or do not want prohibition?
A republican or a democratic form
of government means the majority
of the people shall rule. If a num-
Der of men practically say, "We
do not want the people to have a
chance to express themselves on
this question and we won't let
them if we can help it," what is
that but an o~ligarchy? Let the
people speak. 1t is their right.
You a not muzzle their mouths
without striking a blow at our
form of government. Try to pre-
vent them from expressing them
selves on this question, and they
will speak louder.

Mrs. ingalls, Confident

Mrs. F. H. Ingalls,, legislative
of the w. G. T. U.
said Tuesday that she did not care
what report "a made by the
Senate Committee on Constitu-
tional Amendments, a 8 she vas
sure the Senate would ignore the
report and.pass the bill in exact
ly the same form, it passed the
House.
There are eighteen members of
the Senate, who have committed
themselves to their constituents
to vote for the submission of the
prohibition amendment accord
ing to Mrs. Ingalls,. This number
is necessary for favorable action
in the Senate. She also says
that one other member may be
counted On.
Those, who Mrs. Ingalls, declares
will vote for submission are:
Senators Anthony, Bradley,
Buford, Chinn, Doris, Fields,
Humphrey, Lane, Major, Oliver,
Stark, Wilson,, Booth, Grimes,
Peck, McDavid, Dowell, Drunert
and probably Hudson.
Mrs. Ingalls, said that accord
ing to her estimates, 100000 me n
and women have petitioned the
Legislature to submit the prohi-
bition amendment. OF this
number she claims that not more
than three percent are women,
and she says that she does not
take into account resolutions sent
by churches and other ~organiza-
tons.

1T WAS A STRENUOUS WEEK
Submission of Prohibition the All
Absorbing Topic----Some Good
Work Done.
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence,
Jefferson City Apr. 2i.-This
has been a strenuous week at the
Missouri capital. The main
question has been, will the Senate
pass the House resolutions sub
mitti ng a prohibition amendment
to a vote of the people at tn e
general election in Nov. 1910? Tn e
amendment adopted by the House
two weeks ago provides for sub
uniting the following proposition Z:
"No person or persons, co-part-
nership, association of persons or
corporation shall, within this
state, manufacture any intoxicat-
ing liquor; and no person or
persons, co-partnership or associ-
alton of persons, or corporation
shall keep or sell intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes, or
shall give away, barter or trade
the same as a beverage. The
General Assembly shall by law
prescribe regulations for the en-
forcement of the provisions of
this article and shall thereby pro-
vide suitable penalties for the
violations thereof: Provide d
that this amendment shall not be
in force and effect until Jan. 1,
1913"
The last provision was ar
amendment offered by Mr.. Conran
of New Madrid and was readily
accepted by both the advocate 6
and the opponents of the resolu
tion-by the opponents because
they believed it would make the
proposition less acceptable to pro,
hibitionists, and by the ad i've
Gates because they quickly re
allied that giving the brewer
and liquor dealers three years il
which to wind up their bushes 81
will take all force from the ples
that prohibition will confiscatt
their property, and thus bring tt
the support of prohibition $500
to $4,000 citizens who would no
be likely to vote for the immediate
expulsion of the large brewing
distilling and wholesale INTEREST,"
representing millions of investe
capital.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1909-04-30

The matter will come up next
week in the Senate. Newspaper
guesses as to the lineup of the
Senators are at variance. The
real situation may be stated in
this way:
Every Senator from St. Louis
and Kansas City is against SUBJ
m~ission-Messrs. Krone, Kinney,
Bropan, Methudy and Prender-
CAST of St. Louis Senator Ander-
son of St. Louis resigned) Messrs.
Casey and Greene of Kansas City
u.
Messrs. Malang of Jasper, Gard.
ner of St.Louis County and Mayer
of st. Joseph represent constitu-
encies, which oppose it, though
Senator Mayer has said he will
vote for it and may do so.
These 10 Senators are the only
ones out of the 33, who may be
set down as positively against it,
and one of tnem may vote for it.
The doubtful senators are: Nc
Allister of Monroe, Alice of
Miller Jefferson City district)
Dowell of Louis, Hall of Saline-4.
Senators, who + known to be
for it by assertion or by pledge
are Peck of Atchison (the only
prohibitionist in the Senate)
Wilson of Platte, Humphrey of
Shelby, Stark of, Pike, Chinn of
Lafayette (Cass and Johnson, dry
counties are in his district), Booth
of Dallas, Lane of Ripley, Oliver
of Pemiscot, Hudson of Chilli
cothe, Fields of Linn, Eads of
D~aviess, Drunert of Montgomery
Major OF Fayette, Anthony OF
Cedar, Grimes of Barry, McDavid
of Greene, Doris of Oregon,
Buford of Reynolds, Bradley OF
| st. Francois-19.
The resolution must have
IS votes or fail. The only senators
of the 10, who are quoted for it,
but who may be considered
doubtful are McDavid, Demo
GRAFT and Eads, Republican. Both
represent districts, which are"dry',
and..from which numerous peti-
tions have come. 1t is not likely
that they will vote against it. II
is more likely that Dowell, Hall
and Alice will vote for It.

Several hundred bankers and
business men from St. Louis and
other cities OF the State attended.
All day Wednesday the capital
was filed with prominent men,
who came to oppose submission
OF the proposed constitutional
amendment, Able speakers were
selected to address the committee,
which sat III the Senate chamber
from 3 o'clock to nearly I. TIL
chamber was overcrowded.
Strange to say, the speakers with
out exception discussed prohibi-
ton and it's effect upon the bus
mess interests of the State, as if
the submission of the proposition
would mean its adoption. They
did not discuss the folly or the
wisdom of submission, but the
folly of prohibition. 1t was fun
ny to see level-headed, shrewd
business men pleading against
prohibition before a committee,
every member but one of which is
an ardent anti-prohibitionist.
Those, who knew the real situa =
ton had to smile. Had these men
explained the danger to which the
business, social and political in
terests of the state will be sub
jected, by what they consider a
useless prohibition campaign,
they might have accomplished
something. The net result OF
their visit and their effort, how
ever, was to make a few Senators
feel a little worse than they other
wise would have felt, because
they are pledged to vote for sub
mission and can find no way to
get out of it.
