THE proposal to impeach Secretary Redheld is heard
in Washington from Representatives who be-
leve that the juggling with the figures in rea
ton TO the draft merits the extreme penalty.
Under ordinary conditions one would not expect such
plan TO carry either the House Senate in view
OF the Democratic control Of both. Yet there is no
doubt that the States which have been penalzed by the
census legerdeman are so numerous and so populous
and consequently strongly represented at Washing

Prohibition as a National question

already enacted prohibition. In other
Common wealths the tendency in that
direction is unmistakable and mighty.
There are left a sufficient number OF
states where the question IS sun
omen. and where majority opinion IS
iadeterminate. to insure full ana
fair discussion. The length OF time
.tbat must elapse before the ratihca-
tion ~ three-fourths of all the States
can he obtained is sufficient TO allow
every phase Of the main question 10
become apparent: to bring out clear
w the tremendous considerations OF
propertv rights; to permit the read-
iustment of previously lawful busl-
ness so that unconstitutional coniis-
cation may not be attempted.
The campaigns for and against ma
tionwide prohibition, il the House
likewise votes to submit a constitu-
tioual amendment, will be conducted
from now on In the respective States
called upon to ratify or reject the
proposal This is as II should be
from the point of view of the most
persistent and consistent supporters
of State rights. The greatest OF a
states rights is It's right to exercise
its equal vote for or against the al
teration of the fundamental law ar
fecting all the States.
In this sense. curiously enough, the
decision of Congress to make ma
tlonal question of prohibition by
submitting an amendment Of the Uni
ted States Constitution would remove
the scene Of debate to the States
themselves and locaiize it there dur
ing the years that must elapse before
a three-fourths vote can be obtained,
If obtained it can be.
Otherwise, according to every pres
ent indication, the alignment Of the
great parties in Federal politics upon
one side or the other is inevitable.
Probably to some extent this will be
the case II the amendment resolu-
ton passes the House as well as the
Senate; but even a partial segrega-
tion OF the issue seems desirable
while the country is at war.
The complaint thai injustice is
done or constitutional rights invaded
where three-fourths Of the States Of
the Union are permitted to impose a
policy upon the remaining Cne-fourth
does not impress the public mind a.
It might have impressed it before the
national idea became predominant.
Every amendment OF the Constitution
does that thing; and the nation has
become unified and strong for every
test by repeatedly doing that very
thing.
And there can be no invasion OF
rights by the amend
ment OF the Constitution in the man
ner prescribed by the Constitution
Evening journal., 1917-08-04

The Sheppard resolution submit
ting prohibition to the States as a
Federal question, and in the form of
proposed Eighteenth Amendment OF
the United States Constitution. passed
the Senate late yesterday afternoon
by half dozen votes more than the
requisite two-thirds majority.
The Harding amendment Of the
Sheppard resolution, limiting to six
years the time In which the States
must ratify or reject national pro-
hibitlon, IS a part of the measure as
it passed the Senate.
There has been some difference OF
opinion among constitutional au.hori-
ties as to the power of Congress to
recall from the States a proposed
amendment once submitted. but that
question need not be considered now.
Nor IS It necessary to speculate about
the possibility Of the defeat OF the
amendment by inaction if a sufficient
number Of States should fail either
70 ratlfy or reject It.
The Constitution itself provides
no way to force action in the States
on a submitted amendment; and It
certainly neglects to empower the
Congress to put a time limit on the
action Of the States, either BY their
Legislatures or by State conventions
specially called.
We take It that this more or less
important aspect of the matter has
not received tho attention II merits
If the proposal is to 80 to the States
free Of technical defect.
There can be no suspicion OF In
tent to vit'ate the resolution by load
ing Il with eXtraconstitutional feat
ures. The House of Representatives
has likewise to adopt by two-thrds
vote the resolution submitting the
amendment, and IL a mistake has
been made by the Senate in attach
ing the six year Provision It cnn be
corrected before he main question
leaves Washington for the State CAPT
tails. II has been held that the Presi-
dents approval OF q Joint resolution

ment as not needed.
Apart from these considerations OF
form and procedure, and apart from
all controversy over the extent of the
power of Congress to prescribe con-
ditions OF amendment which the Con-
stitution itself does not establish,
and apart, further, from all argu-
ments for or against the exclusive
right OF the States to regulate or
prohibit the sale of liquor within their
own boundaries, II seems TO The Sun
that the question of prohibition IS
now taking the course toward final
settlement which is most advantage
Gus to all concerned.
