CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.
(Anna A. Gordon, President National
W. c. 7. u. and One OF the National
Prohibition Amendment Commisslon.J
In order to win national constitu-
tional prohibition two-thirds Of the
members Of the United States senate
and house OF representatives must
vote in favor OF bill referring the
question to the various states for rati-
iication through their legislatures.
When SO Of our 48 states through a
majority vote OF their legislatures rat.
ify the measure thus referred II is
adopted and becomes part OF the
United States Constitution. Such q
prohibitory amendment Is surely in
harmony with the spirit OF the Consti.
tuition of the United States, which, as
its preamble declares, was established
"to promote the general welfare and
secure the blessing Of liberty to our
selves and our posterity.
Nineteen commonwealths have al
ready gained the high, dry ground of
statewide prohibition. Six states

California, Idaho and Michigan-vote

tory prohibitory law to constitutional
prohibition. The territory Of Alaska

November T. II we can win this ad-
ditional prohibition territory and call
roll OF 26 prohibition states We
shall be within ten states of our ma
tional goal. The fact that more than
half the people and more than three
quarters of the area OF this country
are under prohibitory laws is assur-
ance that we are fast nearing national
constitutional prohibition.
All states will benefit by the amend
ment. All will still have power to go
Just as far as they desire in prohibit
ing any phase of the liquor traffic and
will have the aid which comes from
a national policy. Our greatest diff
Guilty today is the difference in policy
between the nations government and
the prohibition states. With sim
liar prohibition standard in the ma
tion and the states federal and state
officers would furnish "a frank and
candid cooperation for the general
good"

Detroit Mich, July 26.-Mabe1 Trask,
owned and driven by Walter Cox, had
little trouble winning the Merchants and
Manufacturers $4,000 stake for 2:08 trot-
tiers, at the Grand Circuit meeting here
today None of the other contestants
seemed able to give the New Hampshire
mare anything like an argument, and she
won almost as she pleased.
Eight horses made the start in the first
heat, but when the third was reached
only four were left, Trampright and Sadie
S. being distanced in the first, and The
Emo and Rusticoat in the second heat. The
Emo fell in the second heat, but was not
injured.
In the first heat Mabel Trask led ST.
Frisco and Virginia Barnette all the way
from the first quarter, swinging along
easily into victory half length ahead
of st. Frisco, with Virginia Barnette
several lengths back in third place.
The Emo made a good showing in the
second heat until he fell in the stretch.
Mabel Trask, however, came up from
second place at the turn. and Won in
canter with Cox holding her back Miss
Perfection was second, and St. Frisco
poor third. The first quarter of this
mile was stepped in g.
Inc tnlrd neat was much slower than
the preceding two and was taken by
Mabel Trask eased up, with st. Frisco
second, four lengths behind. Virginia
Barnette was nose behind ST. Frisco.
Colleen had anything but easy time
winning the 2:14 pace. She got the de-
cison by taking the first two heats, one
in a whipping finish and the other by
a neck in a hard drive. The third heat
was the best mile of the race In an
other whipping finish Thomas Earl nosed
out Colleen for the decision.
The 2:14 trot went to Azora Axworthy,
which won the first two heats. Miss
Densmore, strong contender in the first
two, won the third by coming up from
behind at the stretch and finishing a neck
ahead of Azora Axworthy.
