. as follows:
"444. On Memorial day, May
. 80, at all army posts and sta
lions the national flag will be
. displayed at half staff from sun
rise till midday, and immediate
. ly before noon the band, or field
music, will play some appropri-
. ate air, and the national salute
of twenty-one guns will be fred
. at II m. at all posts and stations
provided with artillery. At the
. conclusion of this memorial trib-
ute at noon the flag will be hoist
. ed to the top Of the staff and
will remain there until sunset.
. When hoisted to the top of the
1 STAFF the flag will be saluted by
/. playing one or more appropriate
/ patriotic airs. In this way fit

Provision for Prohibition.

The prohibition amendment to the
constitution which has been proposed
and upon which the house probably
must vote declares that scientific re-
search has demonstrated that alcohol
is narcotic poison, destructive and
degenerating to the human organism
and that it's distribution as a bever-
gering economic burden upon the
shoulders of the people, lowers to all
appalling degree the average standard
of character Of our citizenship, there
by undermining the public morals and
the foundation of free institutions,
produces widespread crime, pauperism
and insanity, inflicts disease and I'M
timely death upon hundreds of thou
sands of citizens and blights with
degeneracy their children unborn,
threatening the future integrity and
the very life of the nation"
Following this preamble the real
amendment to the constitution is pro
posed. Il forbids the sale, manufac-
ture for sale, transportation for sale.
Importation for sale. and expectation
for sale Of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes in the United States
and in territory subject to the juris-
diction thereof.

Roosevelt is reported to be indulging
the hope than in 1916 he can, break
"the solid South"
That Louisiana may defeat some of
the Democratic Congressman this year
or the Democratic Presidential ticket
two years hence is altogether possible,
for the people Of that State are suf-
fering a severe hardship on account
of the sugar tariff, and the tariff in a
limited sense is still "a local issue,
as General Hancock called It. People
are apt to vote for their material in
terests in every case when the issue
is clearly defined. Those in the best
position to Judge the effect declare
that Louisiana cannot possibly raise
sugar in competition with other sugar
.. untries, II they are correct Louisi.
