men to entirely nuIlify the Webb law
so far as II would protect Tennessee
from the liquor vampires. The stuff
having once gotten legally into the
state would only have state officials to
contend with. No friend of the pres
ent prohibition law would for a mo-
ment c~ountenance such a scheme to
circumvent the Webb law. The at
tempt is, moreover, so bald" that
only a whisky legislator wouId vote
for such a law. No member could
claim to have been fooled" into vot-
ing for 1t and be credited with hav-
ing common sense.
Undoubtedly, the express companies
are chiefly led to refuse shipments OF
c~ontraband stuff by the fact that IL
1t should be seized by state and town
officers the companies would be liable
to the shippers for such loss; but an
other reason may be the fear of los
ing their charters. The Webb law
forbids shipments of contraband
liquors into prohibition territory. No
state charter can authorize the doing
Of any unlawful thing; hence the dan
ger of doing an act which the Webb
law says lis hereby prohibited.
The new Interstate commerce regu-
lation seems to have put the booze
dealers on the griddle in short order.

THIRTY-sEVENTH CONGRESS,

Minneapolis Journal: Fifty years
ago on March 4 the thirty seventh
congress expired. But on the day be-
fore, it has passed a resolution declar-
ing that no form of mediation or in
PREVENTION by a foreign government
would be deemed a friendly act by the
United States, that it was the unaltera-
BILE determination Of the United States
to prosecute the war until the rebellion
had been suppressed, that any attempt
at mediation would only proIong the
war, and that the main hope Of the re-
bellion lay in foreign intervention.
This resolution was notice to the
world, Particularly to France and Eng
land. 1t supplemented the reply Of
Seward, secretary of state. to Napoleon
III. The determination Of the United
States was clear. to suppress at all
costs the rebellion, to resent mediation
or Intervention even TO the extent of
war.
The thirty seventh congress had
done well. Like the president and his
cabinet. it had risen to the level Of a
gigantic crisis, had met the crisis fair
~ with ways and mean for which
there were neither precedents in ex,
p~erience, nor provision in the organic
law.
The constitution made no provision
for rebellion, contained no authoriza-
ton Of extraordinary powers to cope
with such an emergency as was pres
scented by the secession and hostile
confederation of eleven states. The
fathers never contemplated rebellion as
a. possible contingency, or at all events
a rebellion of more than three times the
population of the original thirteen
states and Of territory larger than the
original states.
The only warrant that Lincoln and
the thirty-seYenth congress had was
the warrant Of self preservation. "A
nation has the right to save itself un
the supreme. unWritten law. That
law II was which congress and the adj
min~istration evoked. And nobody in
those critical days was too inquirins
about the authority under which con-
gress le1lslated and the president act
ed.
In this day of the dedication of Lin
coin we are apt to underestimate the
part played by the congress that sup
ported Lincoln. Nothing is taken from
Lincoln's greatness by the recognition
Of the ability and patriotism OF the
thirty seventh congress. That con-
gress raised armies, built a navy,
found the money TO conduct the war.
It's vast creative and organizing work
can be compared only with that of the
national assembly Of the first French
republic. The thirty seventh congress
found absolutely nothing to hand with
which to wage the war. 1t provided
everything. IL it made m~istakes--and
great mistakes 1T made-of course-it
had organized war, nevertheless, with
in two years time. organized on q
scale OF vast proportions.
That congress and Its leaders de-
serve we'll OF the republic and should
be cherished in grateful memory. They
also. like Lincoln and the generals and
adYnirals. had glorious part in the work
OF preserving the nation.

strife.
