WHEN SPEECH IS BRAzEN
Louisville Courier-JournaD


 Tn years to come" says the Philadelphia North American. "the historian of American public affairs will find striking theme in the fact that in the great world crisis of 1916 the United States was pre- vented from taking its rightful place in the family of nations because a few hundred voters in State, California, supported the Democratic candidate for President instead Of the Republican
 For unmitigated posteecton balderdash that is the worst that has come under the COurierJournals observation
 Just what place in the family of nations the United States would have taken under Hughes that it has not taken under Wilson has been explained, either by Mr. Hughes himself or by his spokesman in the recent campaign Such explanation was sought on all hands by those whose votes he asked, but he refused from first last to give it. and nobody in his secret confidence to this day knows-f he himself knOws-what be would have done as Presi- dent that Wilson has not done.
 The mpudence of the North Americans words is eccentuated by the fact that this paper before the election one of the ou1est and most persistent in demanding that Mir. Hughes come from cover and declare hmself that it did not conceal it's dispeasure and contempt because he was deaf to the demand and that in particular it was exceedingly severe in its criticisms of its course in going to California and identifying himself with the old railroad ring of the Republicans in that State rather than with the pro- gressive element, which had knocked that ring Even today it is ashamed to acknowledge its belief that the loss of California and the presidency by the Republicans is to be traced directly to the fact that for thirty the party under the corrupt control of the Southern Pacific railroad, and that Mir Hughes deliberately presented himself as the candi- date and ally of those interests. which the Progress sive citizenship of the State had justly condemned and repudiated"
 Nevertheless. the North American deliberately advised the election of Mir Hughes though it never could gye-never attempted to give-any other req son for it's support than that it was necessary to elect him in order to defeat Wilson; the plain truth of the matter being that showed every time it had anything to say the subject that it supported Hughes simply because it among those former 'rogressiyes whom Theodore Roosevelt was able to deliver the Republicans when he betook himself and ll his portable belongings back to the hungry pack ,f the Old Guard.
 If there is mouth which in every semblance lt decency should remain shut when Hughes he California election mentioned is the mouth If the Philadelphia North American.

 The Honeymoon is the space be- tween being Love Sick and Sick Of Love.
 Woman's place is in the home Especially when her husband has some other woman out.
 When a man gets the idea that he married the wrong woman you can bet that the wife thinks that way, too.
 Before a man marries he never stops to consider that his family is going to need a whole lot of his money that he would like to spend on himself.
 What is the use of being polite to other men? They imagine that you are that way because you arc going to ask for a favor and they give you the cold shoulder.
 You can call a man a liar and get away with it. But you had better not question the reliability of his thermometer.

CONGRESS- AND THE ANTrLIQUoR LAW

The people ot Alaska by their votes NSYem- Der last. decided that Alaska is ready for the en- actment Of prohibtory liquor law. The vote was decisive there is no doubt about that. but question has been raised alleging that the vote is not binding inasmuch as the Territorial Legislature which au- thorzed it had no power to do That may be true. ye, the vote mus, be conceded. registered the will of the people upon this question. Therefore there is small doubt that the will of the people will find ex- pression in the enactment Of a prohbitory law.
 Clearly. in the opinion Of The Empire, the Leg islaturc has not the authority to legisate on the question Of prohibiting the manufacture importation or sale of spirituous and malt liquors. The organic act approved August 24 1912. does convey the Legislature the power Co control the liquor traffic On the contrary that power is expressly reserved to Congress and it is that body that enact pro- hibory measure fl one is be passed Also, clearly ir is within The power Of the Legislature to memor iaze Congress in this respect and possibly to ndi cate the kind Of law that should be passed. The referendum submitted to the people. and which they voted. provides that the prohibition Of the sale manufacture and importation Of liquors in Alaska shall cease January ]. lslS or. in ether words that the inhibition shall take place that date But the power of the Legislature to fix any date may well be doubted and Congress may only lock upon me morial from the Legislature being merely advisory or for the guidance of Congress. That a bill will be presented Go Congress providing for the prohibition os the sale of liquor in the Territory is undOub;ed. but whether such bin can be passed to take effect on January l. 1918. is another phase oi the question It is also quite probable that Congress will respect the will of the people of Alaska and pass the bnl as it is not to be believed that that body will disregard their desires. end especially in view Of national sentiment in the matter of prohibiory laws The people of Alaska have right to expect that their action will be given full force and effect by the en- actment of an adequate law Whether the law can be successfully enforced need be discussed here Time. which usually determines all things. will also determine this.
 During the recent campaign. the opponents of the dry referendum pebscite of the Interior papers call iu pointed to the total failure of Alaskas first prohbitory law. to prohibit. It rank failure that must be admitted; but it failure because it was not backed by public sentiment Congress ! gave 1t to Alaska. but few people had asked for it. People as rule do take kindly laws that they have not asked for and do not want Therefore. be cause prohbitory law was a failure in Alaska twen ty years ago. it does not follow that the failure will be repeated in 1918 or any subsequent period Times change and the people change with them That at least ought to be evident to the most careless and unobserying.

Every so often We hear that the climate of Alaska has changed is changing. or is about to voe face; and every time this pronouncement is made it causes the weary and the weather-wise to smile Climates do change some years. but the experience of history shows that if there be a change for year or two. it is not permanent if so. it is reyerson to type.
