will be devoted to securing it's rati-
fiCation. Unless we are kept busy
doing that, we will got into the po-
litiCal fight, involving the Presidency
and the enxt Congress, and we are
prepared to be very disagreeable."
Such Is the Interpretation that the
politicians are placing on the threat
of the anti-liquor organizations; and
1t is giving concern to politicians Of
all parties. 1t is known that the pro-
hibition leaders issued their statement
only after a careful canvass of the
national situation, and with the be-
lief that the wave of dry" sentiment
that IL spreading over the world can
be caught at the crest and made to
serve their purpose of forcing atten-
tion to the issue.

saloon forces today. THAT is all we
ask: but we are willing to have 4 un-
dcrstood that If this much Is not done,
we will make ourselves felt in national
matters
This sounds like an ultimatur1: and
the anti ti?liuuor people admit that they
intend it to be just that. They argue
thus:

oposition can muster thirteen out OF

we are willing TO take the chances in

To support the resolution OF sub

The ulti'natum of the dry" forces is
regarded in Washington as a skillful bit
of practical politics. and very well timed,
from their point OF view. 1t Is gener-
ally conceded that there will be a larger
of submission than there. was of the
last House; and nobody seems to doubt
what the Senate will do, once the ques-
tion reaches 1t; ii will carry the resolu-
ton, unless the signs egregiously fail.
Just now, the commanding interest in
everything political centers in the Presi-
Dental election. Nothing balls up" a
political situation so much as the injec-
ton of the liquor question; and no is
sue is more dreaded by the politicians.
Therefore, on the eve of a tremendously
important national campaign, a threat
to force this issue right into the thick
of the whole business of nominating and
also of electing, is calculated ~ arouse
the utmost agitation among the mana
gers of politics.
That's just what Wen do" declare

LITIGATION COSTS
BARTH'S ESTATE
QUARTER MILLION
Causes LenE Drawn Ont Court
Procedure.

Litigation which has already cost
s2sO.oo0 has. been renewed in the Dem
yer courts in the effort to break the
will OF william Barth aged multimil-
lionaire. of Denver. by which he lefr
the bulk of his s.. 1000, 900 estate to his
only granddaughter. As Is the law
in Virginia. the expense of the liti-
CATION has been borne by the estate
and Is a matter Of public information.
Men familiar with the case believe
that the defective will of the aged mill
lionaire is destined TO cost his estate
still another s25000 before the con-
troversy Is definitely settled. IL this
be the case, the Barth litigation will
establish a precedent for cost to an
estate.
In discussing the case, prominent
Richmond banker pointed out yesterday
that Barth would have done better
for his estate and his daughter If he
had called upon a trust company to
draw his will and had left some such
self -perpetuating institution to carry
out his wishes.
Barth died in December. 1915 In
May. 1918. he conveyed all his real
that the estate go to his grand
daughter and daughter-in-law in three
deeds of trust subsequently he be-
came angered with his two heirs and
ordered his attorneys to proceed at
law in the effort TO have the three
deeds declared null.
At the same time he drew will
practically disinheritiug the two heirs
and willing his estate TO charitable in
situations He was then eighty Ave
years old In admitting this last will
to probate, the court ruled it TO he
in conflict with the law and directed
that the estate should go to his grand
daughter as sole heir.
