There is nothing more reasonably
sure than the abolition or the nev-
erage liquor traffic by this nation
whether you spell ii with a big or a
little m. The first showdown"
in Congress resulted in clear ma
jorlty for national constitutional pro-
hibition. All the consolation the lin :
tcrests" and their sympathizers and
apologists can get from the fact that
the measure failed of the requisite
two-thirds majority they are welcome
to enjoy. All close observers of the
exoiuttons and progressive strides tina.
have marked the history of this great
country are familiar with the wonder
full history of the prohibition move
ment. Like all great essentially moral
reforms ii had to fight IT'S way through
the tangled morass of bigotry, preju-
dice and partisan politics The Spar
tan band Of once termed fanatics and
visionaries never wavered in their
faith that victory cometh in the
morning." and that the mornin; light
would break when the calm and dis
passionate thought OF the people was
given to the matter, and that then
soon thoroughly aroused and potent
public conscience would destroy the
anomaly of anomalies. And SO II
has turned out that State after State
has divorced themselves from the le-
Called beverage liquor traffic. and
now we are headed direct and sure
for national constitutional prohibition.
The last and desperate stand the
arch-enemy of the church. the home
and the school will make against its
national extinction is going to be the
plea for State option"--the old 10
cal option bugshoo or local self
eminent" scarecrow advanced to
Statewide. 1t will be proclaimed
from the housetops that our govern
mental fabric will shrink and collapse
II the rights OF the States are de-
stroyed, But this contention Will go
down like rotten limb In thunder

blasts. and it will prove as Ineffective
retreat for the demagogue. The

to weaken the effect Of these words.
On the contrary. the court cites pre-
cedents In. the practice Of the United
States, q practice conforming to that
mass OF customs and OF ethics which
Ia all that International law amounts
to. Its specific instance was afforded
by the emancipation OF the United
states from the bondage OF certain
old treaties with the kingdom OF
France. ~
The Congress Of the new republic
had enacted in this sense toward the
end OF President Washington's admin :
istration, the Supreme Court observing
on the subject in the Chinese exclu-
sion case that whilst it would al
ways be a matter Of the utmost gravity
