Washington.-The spread OF prohibit

the past year has made n deep impress
sion on leaders In congress. The events
of that period when viewed In the light
of the ambitious program that the
temperance advocates have set for
themselves In the immediate future
are causing much serious thinking and
some anxiety on the part of members
of congress who look beyond their
noses.
In fact, many of the leaders In the
national legislature believe that they
already see the prohibition question
looming as a national issue. They fear
the time is near when a constitutional
amendment providing for national pro-
hlbition viii be submitted by congress
to u referendum of the states.
Such an amendment Is now pending
in both the house and the senate, and
the promotion of 1t through congress
is the accomplishment toward which
all the anti-liquor forces are looking

SENATOR w.. 3. KENYON, A LEADING AID
voCATE OF PROHIBITION.
foundations of the measure by bring
ing additional states more definitely
into the prohibition column.
But that the test eventually Will
come in congress and that the nation
al legislators will be subjected to pres
sure such as they have seldom IL ever
experienced Is the growing conviction
In Washington.
The fear Is expressed by leaders OF
both parties that when the test does
finally come congress will do as Ii did
in two important instances last year
when called on to pass upon the liquor
question-disregard its own convic-
tons and vote to appease public
clamor.
Ii has long been a matter OF com
ment In Washington that the only way
I'm which temperance legislation can be
prevented in congress Is by holding
the bills in committee and by keeping
them from the floor OF the house or
senate. When the average member OF
congress is face to face with the liquor
question and a delegation OF temper
ance advocates he may drink like a
fish himself. but he will promptly re-
cord his vote in favor of the drys.
That at least was the history OF the
two most important developments of
the past year In congress. The passage
Of the Jones Works excise law for the
District of Columbia and the enact
ment of the Webb-Kenyon law to pro-
hibit the shipment of liquor into prohi-
bition territory for sale were regarded
by the temperance crusaders as red let
ter events On their last years calendar.
They were elated not only over what
the laws might accomplish, but over
the way in which their enactment DEM
onstrated the hold OF the ants upon
the national legislature.
The ease with which the passage Of
these laws was obtained has also left
Its impression on congress. Few men,
bers dared to oppose the measures In
the open, and both went through by
overwhelming votes, the Webb-Ken-
Yum uhi OfCI tuE fcto VI EcSlurAt
Taft The opposition was confined
chiefly to the committee rooms, but
when the bills were pushed into the
open members lined up quickly In ia
vor Of them. They believed this was
the part Of political wisdom.
AS the result of the passage Of the
Jones-Works bill the city Of Washing
ton now finds itself on Sundays as dry
as a burnt bone. A club member ran
not even get q drink In his own club
house On Sunday.
