THE PROHIBITION VOTE.

The failure of the prohibition
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton to secure the two-thirds vote in
the lower house of congress, necessary
to send it to the senate, appears to
have been decidedly -partisan-as
votes involving the liquor traffic usual
~ are. The democratic vote was sc

he republican vote Al per cent wet"
TO 80 per cent dry" while the pro-
gressive vote as exactly II dry to
one wet" No strictly prohibition
party appears to have been repre-
scented.
The democratic dry vote as re-
ported came largely from the south
and from states that are dry" This
may mean something or it may not
In respect TO the republican vote we
note pretty much the same conditions
with regard to the dry" territory in
the north. Whether it sounds the
approval Of these congressman of their
home conditions. or whether their
home territory being dry" relieves
them Of the dread of saloon influence
at the next election, we will not pre-
sumo to say. Maybe il is that tor
tured by the absence Of drink en-
pOriums when back in their own baili-
wicks they are revengeful and want
TO distribute the torture more broad
cast. Whatever may be the cause, it
is still a significant fact that eight
more congressman voted for prohibi-
ton than voted against it. which is
more than could be accomplished at
any previous time in history.
And it would seem that it might be
sufficient warning to the brewers and
distillers for them to begin to take
real notice. Evidently the wave"
ISN'T receding as fast as it might We
would suggest that to the end of max
ing it to recede farther, and faster,
power that they possess for cleaning
up the liquor. business, and making of
it something more fit to have around.
1t is up to them more than to anyone
else. All they need to do is to give
up considerable portion of. their
sreed and divorce themselves from
the unbridled license that has made
the business obnoxious. There would
be no prohibition movement if the

There's going to be lot of whaling
away at Pres't Wilson because he pro
poses to buy some ready-made mer-
chant ships instead OF spending all the
money in American shipyards.
Private capital" in the hands of
American shipbuilders is timid. 1t
wants a subsidy, an exclusive fran
chise. a bonus, an infant industry
nursing bottle of some sort, and it is
going to set up the usual hypocritical
wall for the American shipyard work
ingman, if ii does not get it. And
while it is building the ships, pos
sibly at pool prices as ship armor has
been furnished. Uncle SANS oppor-
tunity can slide by.
However, the president apparently
has the main idea in mind. The
United States needs a merchant ma
rine at the earliest possible moment
and. nobody else furnishing it, he
furnishes il himself
but" say the subsidy-hunters. "a
merchant marine for the present
emergency, which is to disappear
when the emergency is past, is Of very
slight advantage to the United States"
They're fOOling themselves. Once
possessing a merchant marine, we
may always have one. as readily as
though it were subsidized and private
~ owned. There are reasons That
Alaskan coal must be hauled down
\ government merchant marine might
be made insurance against a pool on

transports for the navy. Moreover, it
is naturally most difficult to cut out a
branch OF governmental operation
once il is started
Economically, there are tremendous
possibilities and probabilities in Uncle
Sans entry into the business of trans
porting goods. Present emergencies
very. very often mean permanencies.

THE RITE INCREASE.


j. J. Turner Of the Pennsylvania
railroad, we'll known as the former
general manager of the Vandalia rail-
road, expresses the belief that the five
per cent rate increase granted the
railroads will have an immediate eff
feet in fastening the recovery of in
dustry.
The roads were told at the outset
that if they were to be granted this
raise, they must establish the need as
resting upon conditions which have
occurred since the beginning of Au-
gust, that being the date of the COM
missions other decision virtually de-
nying the relief then asked. That
meant, in effect, that the roads must
prove that they needed the higher
rates 10 piece out their depleted in
comes
They appear to have proved the
point BY a divided commission this
transportation court now decides that
the railroads are entitled to most of
what they asked.
Railroad prosperity" says Mr..
Turner. "is at the bottom of so much
of. the country's general prosperity
that this question of allowing them a
living income touches every citizen.
The nation cannot prosper if the rail-
reads are starved.
This decision, therefore, ought to
hasten the return of better conditions
for the people of the United States -
