CUT THIS OUT AND PUT 1T IN
YOUR SCRAP BOOK.

They made history in Washington
on December %, when Representative
Hobson, of Georgia, offered his reso-
luton for constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating, malt and vinous liq-
uors in the United States for any ex-
cept mechanical and medicinal pur-
poses.
There were several remarkable
things connected with this vote and
the circumstances surrounding it.
We left congress March the 4th,
1908, twelve years ago next March,
and in scanning the vote we find that
there are only nine men left in that
body that served at the same time we
did, which goes to show with what
rapidity the personnel of that body
changes.
Without discussing in any way the
merits of the proposition, a man
would have to shut his eyes on passing
events, if he did not realize how rapid
ly the sentiment for National prohi-
bition is extending throughout the
country.
At any time during our service in
congress, if member had possessed
the temerity to offer resolution SIM
liar to the one offered by Hobson, he
would have been laughed off the floor
OF the House, and any member from

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Before another issue of the Herald
is made 1914 will be history and 1915
will have been ushered in. We are
not sorry to see the old year die. 1t
started in big with promise for the
world and humanity. Just year ago
all nations were at peace, and amity
prevailed among mankind. Almost
instantaneously, and without any real
cause, five million men sprang at
another five million mems threats. All
of the wonderful inventions that have
been the boast of the last quarter of
a century, of which we were so proud,
and which have contributed so much
to the comfort and convenience omf
men, have been transformed into en-
gines for the destruction of human
life. 1t is war on land, war on sea,
war under the sea, war in the air, and
war underground.
Let us hope that before new year
wakes and wanes that men will come
to their senses. The men who do the
killing have no grudge or enmity
against those that they MAIN and kill,
they simply do it because some one
commands them to do so. 1t is a
Kings war, not a peoples war, and
the Herald is strong in the faith that
before 1915 is half passed away, if
the Kings do not patch up truce in
warfare, the people of the warning ma
lions will take the matter into their
own hands and do it themselves.
The one bright spot in the universe
is our own fair land. War is far from
our shores. Prosperity covers it like
a mantle. Minnesota is especially
blessed. Her barns are bursting with
plenty, and everything in the farmers
hands is worth much cash. We are
thankful. The merry crowds of holi-
day purchasers that have thronged
our streets are enough to make "Oid
Crouch" look sick. The Herald has
had big year; we are looking for
bigger one, and we wish all our
friends, and also our enemies, if we
have any, "a Happy New Year."

dared to proclaim prohibition, either
as a state or national issue, would
have been buried under an Avalanche
of votes.
The discussion and vote was marked
by an absolute breaking up of party
lines. Representatives Henry of Tex
as, and Underwood of Alabama, Dem
ocratic leaders, lined up with Bart
holdt of Missouri and Mann of Hi
nois, Republican leaders, in opposition
to the measure, while scores Of both
Democrats and Republicans deserted
their party leaders and voted their
convictions.
1t was the first time in history that
law making body of any nation in
legislative session, ever voted directly
on the question.
There are 435 members of the
House, but as there are two vacancies
that leaves 433 actual members, and
on this proposition there were 1856
votes cast which was very large at
tendance, the way attendance goes IN
that body, there being only Al mem
bers not voting.
The affirmative vote was: Repub-
lican, II; Progressive, ~; Democratic,
ia; making a total of 1877 in favor
of the measure; and 46 Republicans,
one Progressive, one Independent, and
al Democrats cast their votes
against it, so that the proposition had
majority of six votes, but lacked "a
votes of having two thirds.
The delegations from the following
states cast their vote solidly for the
amendment: Arkansas, Colorado,
Idaho, Arizona, Maine, Montana, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Washington, Wyoming, Kansas, and
North Dakota. The majority of the
delegation of the following states
voted for the amendment: Florida,
Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan,
Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
Illinois. The following solidly against
it: Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and
Utah. The following registered ma
jority against it: Alabama, Califor-
MIA, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mime
sofa, New York, Ohio, Texas, West
Virginia, New Jersey, and Maryland.
The Congressman representing the
"Moonshine" districts of Kentucky,
Tennessee and North Carolina all
voted for the amendment.
Notwithstanding the Importance of
the occasion the debate was below
the ordinary. Hobson, who handled
the amendment, was unreliable and
indispensable and brought the meas
ure before the House in such shape
that he, himself, was compelled to
offer several amendments to the same
while it was under discussion; Mann,
Underwood, Henry, Bartholdt were
way below their usual form and their
speeches were puerile for the oppo-
sition.
Norton, of North Dakota, who spoke
for the amendment, was the only one
that approached eloquence. We have
given an analysis of the vote by
states and parties in the table below
and it is well worth study and pre-
serving as a future reference. This
entailed an immense amount of work
and the Herald is the only paper in
the country that has published such a
table:
