Prohibition Party's Policy.

The Prohibition State convention of Wisconsin on
Tuesday, voted down a resolution in favor of a
constitutional amendment for national prohibition bu,
adopted substitute in favor of the abolition of all
taxation and licensing of the liquor traffic We have
had many curious political developments in the last
few years, but nothing more peculiar than this in
the Prohibition convention of Wisconsin.
The Badger State has been the seeding ground Of
many reforms, and it is evident that the soil has
not become exhausted. The Prohibition party has
been in the political field for half century, and il
has nominated candidates for President and pre-
sented national platforms every four years. 1t has not
made great showing in votes, but it has been one
of the political parties to present its claims to the
voters.
In the last few months many petitions have come
to Congress praying for amendment to the Federal
Constitution for national prohibition and the infer
ence might have been drawn that these came from
Prohibtonists Many statesmen on the Hill have been
nervous over this development when churches Sun
day schools and temperance societies joined in the
petitions and ambitious political leaders have
sought to take the lead in the new crusade But here
comes the Prohibitonists with reputation of this
political platform. They will not stand on it. 1t is
not theirs and in harmony with their plans What
is the reason,
1t is barely possible that the Prohibitionists who
have been long in the field have discovered what
has not occurred to the converts that an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution would come in con-
ict with the old fundamental idea of our government
that the States retained the police power and would
never surrender it. that that idea is too firmly rooted
to be destroyed in political campaign apd that it
will not help any political party who fathers it
So the Prohibtionists of Wisconsin fall back on

the cid doctrine that they have held TO IN tie past
that i is within the power of Congress to repeal
the internal tax laws and cease to collect Federal
revenues or grant Federal occupation stamps to the
liquor traffic. Congress could repeal the laws It has
enacted to have anything to do with this busi-
ness, and leave the whole question to the STATES.
That would be no infringement of State rights The
Prohibition party has declared in favor Of ma
tional prohibition by changing the Constitution of
the United States It looks though the Prohibition
lists propose to hold their ground and not have other
people make their platforms for them. They are
consistent. and they may also be practical for the

LATEST MOTOR IMPROVEMENT.

Among the improvements shown at
the recent automobile shows the convert
ible top will probably strike the man who
car keep but one car as being among the
most important. At least three road
STEERS having tops by which the car can
be quickly made into an open or closed
car are now being manufactured in this
country, but it remained for the French
to develop top of this kind that is ap-
pllcable to the largest touring cars, as
described and illustrated in the March
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Just what
this will mean in the way of comfort and
economy is apparent in view of the al
most universal practice of winter driv-
ing, and the extreme changes in weather
that are characteristic of winters in this
country. Owing to cold snap at the
beginning of the past winter many tour
ing cars were changed from open to
closed tops. During succeeding spell
of warm weather the closed tops were a
positive discomfort, but in most cases
another change could not well be made
owing to the expense, such change re-
curing either the substitution of one
body for the other or elaborate changes
in the top that amounted to about the
same thing.
The new French tops for touring cars
work much after the manner of the con-
vertible roadster tops with which Amer
lean motorists are becoming familiar.
The roof is made to telescope, and folds
down with the back upon the rear of the
body in the same way as buggy top,
while the sides are made to drop into re-
cesses in the sides of the body. With
either of these tops, which differ in minor
details, change to an open or closed
car can be made in few minutes.
