Prohibition Coming to Front

II Is probable that only the liquor interests
Of the United States possess to the full an
understanding of the rapidity with which the
movement for prohibition has spread from
ths township to the county. from the county 10
the State and from the State to the nation In
the last few years There is reason for be-
lieving that even in the front ranks of the
prohbtionists the strength that may now be
arrayed against the traffic in tntoxicants is only
partly appreciated. The Monitor believes 1t
would be putting the matter fairly TO say
the prohibition movement is about TO take the
country with surprise somewhat akin to that
occasoned lately by the magnitude and force
Of the equal suffrage movement.
One incident just come 10 light seems to be
illustrative of the general situation. The tu
dietary committee of the house Of representa-
tives at Washington had IN hand the proposed
amendment to the constitution for the prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic. Until recently the
chairman Of that committee was Representa-
tive Clayton. OF Alabama, He has been nom
mated by President Wilson to a United States
tudgesh!p for the middle district of his State.
Under the rule of seniority. Representative
Webb, of North Carolina will in all likelihood
succeed to the charmanship. He is a strong
advocate of dry" legislation and for this
SON his elevation IS not desired by the anti
prehifdtton1sts: yet they hesitate to oppose
because they might ny doing raise politi-
ca! issue that could ne used 10 their disad-
vantage
The prohibition cause, as may he inferred.
has strong advocates in influential quarters,
and this Is made evident further by the fact
that attempts to sidetrack the prohibition
amendment almost certain TO fail The
committee on Judiciary, as expected. has taken
UP and reported the proposed amendment. and
It is predicted that vote upon 1t will be
reached in the house before adtournme A
fact of great importance In this matter is the
pronounced disposition Of members of
gress to array themselves openly against fur
Their interstate commerce in liquor. There no
longer seems to be any shrinking from align
ment with prohibition due to political intni-
datton; the contrary. those members who
sensitive TO public opinion at home are
rather DESTROYS than otherwise Of getting into
harmony with the auti-saloon sentiment From
all appearances, legislatures of the States viii
have an opportunity in the near future of voting
upon the proposed Observation-Disclosures
