community. 1t is, however, the duty of
the people to observe the law, to re-
spect its spirit and its letter, whatever
their personal prejudices or inclinations.
The comparatively mild Sheppard bill
passed yesterday is made more drastic,
in prospect, by the so-calied "bone dry"
amendment to the post Office appropria-
tion bill now in process of enactment by
which the importation of liquor by any
means into dry areas is prohibited. The
question has been raised whether this
actually applies to the District, mas
much as the amendment refers to states
and territories, whereas usually when
the District is included in such federal
legislation it is either specifically or
generally described. This is q question
for adjudication by the courts.
This enactment is distinctly in the
line of modern development. The tend
ency of the day is toward prohibition,
against the sale and consumption of in
toxlcantS. Ever since the enactment OF
the new excise law, reducing the number
of saloons and adding to the restric-
tions placed upon the sale of liquor the
general expectation has been that
eventually Washington would be made
dry. This has come about perhaps soon
er than many thought possible. Certain
interests will, of course, be injured,
some permanently. Readjustments must
be made in some lines of business and
employment Washington may suffer
temporarily in popularity as place Of
asscmblage. But that dry Washing
ton will be happier, better and more
prosperous than wet Washington all
of us will hope and most of us will ex-
pect.

Full Powers and Extra Session.

Two things are at this juncture in
American affairs imperatively necessary
The first is the enactment of a law
(which will grant to the President the
powers he has asked, to put the United
States in a position of armed neutral
Sty. The second is the summoning of
Congress in extra session after the in
auguration, to play its constitutional
part in the preparedness and war leg
islation in the event OF the expected
clash with Germany.
The concrete powers asked by the
president should be granted promptly
pnd unanimously. Further debate on
the matter is superfiuous. and may be
-$njurious. The measure framed by the
sseommittees of the two houses suffices for
2ehe practical purposes of the President S
splan and avoids questions which might
fcause controversy. All America will up
ssAold the President in preparedness for
war as in war itself.
1t is the part of patriotism to pass this
bill Immediately. The disclosure of the
German plot with Mexico for an. often
sive alliance against the United States
adds to the reasons for prompt prepara-
tions for defense For this revelation
unquestionably adds to the gravity of
the situation, increasing the proba ability
of conflict between the United States
and Germany. The general submarine
question would of itself warrant such
legislation. The sinking of the Laeonia.
reported just as the President was on
the point of asking Congress for full
powers" gave additional reason for a
speedy response to his request. The dis
closure of the German plot with Mex
leo renders it imperative.
An extra session should be called, but
it should not be forced in consequence
of delay in the granting of the full pow
ers. If the new Congress is summoned
it will take time to organize. in the pc
culiar condition which leaves the two
parties tied in the House. To delay to
the extra session granting the President
the powers of defense lie seeks might
mean postponement of action for weeks.
Such postponement is inconeeivable.

Dry Washington.

While it would have been better if
Congress had submitted the question of
District prohibition to vote of the peo-
, pie by means of a referendum, such as
was proposed in the Senate and failed
there by a tie vote on two occasions,
the bill which passed the House yester-
day and now goes to the President for
his signature doubtless makes ultimate
ly for better Washington This is not
in itself "bone dry" measure 1t is
rather an anti-saloon bill than an out
and-out prohibition act. II forbids the
sale of liquor within the District, but
permits its importation for personal use,
without limiting the quantities so i'm
ported. 1t abolishes all public dispen-
saries, wipes out of existence the excise
board and imposes severe penalties upon
violations 1t permits the manufacture
here of alcohol for use in the industries
and arts.
The effect of this law, assuming the
Presidents signature, will be observed
with the greatest interest. mainly be-
cause of the fact that Washington is the
seat of government; the scene of many
gatherings from the states and from
other countries. The District. moreover,
: is narrowly restricted area, virtually
! ment of the law is to be presumed
( Washington is almost completely sur
/ rounded by dry territory. All of Vir-
I ginia and the adjacent Maryland coun-
I ties save one are under prohibition laws
| That one Maryland county is the sole
$wetn contact with the District, having
! voted against local option last fall by
q small majority. In case of disposi-
/ tion to evade the law this relatively
small area will afford the only oppor-
tunity close at hand. That special pre-
I cautions will be taken against such vio-
lation is to be believed.
The prohibition of liquor selling in
the District will have the effect of cut
ting off large sum from the local reve-
nues. The excise license fees for the
current year amount to $477 100. Under
the Sheppard bill no funds will be de-
rived from this source. Inasmuch as
Congress does not, in pursuance of its
present policy, permit the District to
expend all Of its funds under the half
and-half system the loss of this revenue
will not necessarily affect the mainte-
nance Of the municipal government.
Tho surplus of District money remain
ing une1pended will simply be reduced
IN amount. Or If the District surpluses
se1e utilized for the benefit of the Dis
trict the additional revenue from the
Lnew tax on intangibles will offset the
f3oss from liquor licenses.
{ It has been often urged that drastic
Sumptuary law could not be successfully
senforced in . community in which the
epublic sentiment did not support it.
Nothing II known as to the weight OF
public opinion in the District on this
question. A referendum would have de.
lssrmined Il, but Congress has decreed

necessary to the preparation of bill
in detail, the republicans submitted
amendments on lines Of their copten-
tions, but secured the adoption Of none
of them. All were rejected.
(2) Although supporting the measure,
the democrats themselves did not ap-
prove it as it stood. They had pre-
pared amendments to the Houses work
and wanted them accepted, but abandon
ed all of them in order to force the bill
through. Any port in a storm. Any
bill in the pinch They took what they
could get
Responsibility for the pinch was
theirs. The bill might, and should, have
been brought in weeks ago. Democratic
senators should have nudged their
brethren of the House, who were daw-
ding. What was needed was known at
the beginning of this session, and steps
should have been taken promptly to
meet the emergency. But matters were
permitted to drift, and hurry and con-
fusion prevailed at the end. The Presi-
dent, who would have accepted the
amendments prepared by the democratic
senators, will sign the bill without them.
The measure as it will become law is
open to the objection of being both class
and sectional. The taxes under it will
be collected from q few people CON-
paratively, and they are not generally
distributed throughout the country.
Thrift and capacity will "pay the
freight"
Present prospects are that the new
Congress will tackle the tariff question,
and if it does the lines are drawn for a
warm contest. The Underwood law, al
ready rickety, was "knocked into a
cooked hat by the war, while this sup
Elemental enactment is, as already
shown, a makeshift to which its sena-
torial sponsors do not subscribe. Had
there been time they would have amend
ed it in some important particulars.
But if present prospects are changed ;
if the democrats organize the House and
thus control the Sixty fifth Congress,
tariff revision will go over, and the Six
ty-sixth Congress be elected with that
issue in the campaign.
