movements nowadays run up against
state rights" and that for nation
wide prohibition has got it's bump.
Congressman Hobson had a per-
fectly plain amendment for prohibi-
ton in the congressional hopper,
when large number of Southern
congressman got out their hammers
and beat it into him that he was pro-
posing violation of Estate rights"
such rights being very precious to
states still having farm, oil or mine
territory, or human rights that
haven't been exploited by their own
big business cabals. Hobson saw the
point, lifted his amendment out of the
hopper and has so dressed it up in
conformity with state rights fashions
that it really looks as if the House
were going to take vote on it.
Originally Hobson's measure plain
~ prohibited the manufacture, sale
or transportation of Intoxicating
liquors in the United States. 1t was
prohibition naked and in the raw,
drawn tight as the business end of a
snare drum. The union suit, slit
skirt, or whatever you want to call
that in which it has now been dress
ed, reads thus:
"The congress or the states with
in their respective jurisdiction shall
have power to enforce this article by
all needful legislation" ....
It is a pretty fair guess that this
would leave an opening for the U. S.
Supreme Court to take whack at
the matter, ten, or twenty, or forty
years hence, or whenever it got ready
At any rate, congressman with fences
to mend needn't be afraid of being ac-
cused of suicidal tendencies by letting
the thing some to vote.

he can not sell it to them any more.
