fled.
Columbus, .O.-The opinion is quite
general here in. Columbus, as we'll as
in other parts of the state, that Ohio
brewers do not expect to do more
than raise dust with their proposal
to initiate. an amendment to the State
Constitution providing that proposed
amendments. to the Federal Constitu-
tion be submitted to a. vote of the
people. of the. state. -. The movement
is looked upon merely as an attempt
to divert attention from this years
campaign for statewide prohibition.
. The Constitution of the United
States provides the manner in which
that document may be amended. In
Article V of that instrument, it says.
: Amendments to this Constitution
- - shall be valid to all intents
and purposes as. a. part of this Con-
stitution when. ratified by the legis-
latures of three-fourths of the several
states"
Neither the state law, nor the state
Constitution can change: this method
of procedure. There is. no, authority
in the Constitution of the United
States for submitting the ratification
of an amendment to a vote .of. the
people of any state. After the legis-
lature ratifies an amendment, that is
the end of it so far as that state; is
concerned. A referendum on that
ratification would have no legal, ef-
feet.
Attorneys who have given thought
to. the proposed amendment;t to be sub
mitted by Ohio vets, declare that such
an effort to Overrule the method pro-
vided in the Federal Constitution it:

instrument, lis futile proposition.

by the Ohio Home Rule Association is

It is illegal and of no effect, they al

The drys of Ohio assert they are
not afraid Of referendum on the wet
and dry question, where such ref
erendum is legal, but that the state
cannot prescribe a different method
for amending the Constitution than
that which is found in the Federal
Constitution itself.

ing 10 NncdI OnCle Odn1.
Columbus, Ohio.-A thousand or
more Ohio saloonkeepers may fail to
have their licenses renewed this
spring. This is because they will
probably be charged with trying to
cheat Uncle Sam by not listing for
the war tax the whisky in their pos
session as required by law.
=. The State Licensing Board considers
the violation not merely an evasion
of the law, but unpatriotic as well.
Saloonkeepers will have to file appli-
cations next month, and these appli-
cations will be passed upon in May.
There are 5000 saloonkeepers in Ohio
and if the claim is correct that 1000
Of them attempted to cheat Uncle
Sam, the drys assert it will prove
their contention that there is a lack
of patriotism on the part Of the
liquor traffic.

wool so closely that it takes The
sense of touch to destroy their

Jerseys And Tricotines.

OCI5CyS AAO AAASOOAhC0'
Imports have been seriously in
terfered with by lurking subma- !
rines, and lack of foreign labor,
yet there is no end OF attractive
dress materials. Many of them
are revivals of old weaves, given
a new aspect in the modish mod
els that employ them.
Wool Buntings and Tricotines.
Wool buntings that some Of uj
can recall, make a number of ex-
ceptionally stylish frocks and
suits, where the material is CON-
e, bined with satins and silks, and
made up on such smart lines that
it assumes considerable elegance.
- Tricotines woven in both wool and
.,t
silk are very fashionably endors-
ed, and Jerseys Of all sorts are
very much to the fore, not only
fer sport suits. but for general
wear; in one-piece models .elabo-.
rately embroidered with narrow
soutache or silk threads.
Beads are introduced into many
of these erabroideries with eX-
cellent results. and one sees great
use Of the wool embroideries and
motifs, modishly placed on silks
and georgettes, for both hat and
dress garnitureS.

addressed the meeting of Tennessee
county Food Administrators in
Nashville, on Thursday of last week,
he said that Tennessee had been
one of the best, if not THE best or
ganized state in the Union in the
matter of conservation of food dur
ing the time this country was in the
war. He said in substance that
Tennessee's efficiency in the work Of
conservation might be accounted
for in the fact that there had been
but one H. A. Morgan Estate Food
Administrator )-and we can add,
but one Jim Finney assistant to
Morgan) ONE Paul billiard (of
Shelby) one Jim Cason, (of Hender-
son) and several others. whose work

make up the general efficiency OF

gan and Finney. the likes" Of whom
any state may be proud to boast.
Under the administration Of j. H.
Cason, Henderson county has made
a showing in loyalty and patriotism
entirely to the credit of our people.
We have had as ready compliance
with the rules and regulations OF
the National and State Food Ad-
ministrations and as few violations
as can be shown by any county in

the resignation d Honorable We
liam Gibbs McAdoo, Secretary Of
the Treasury Of the United States
and Director General Of the Rail-

sitions and having upon himself the
most enormous responsibility of any
civil position in the world, Mr.. Nc
Adoo has often been discussed as
a presidential possibility in 1920.
President Wilson has accepted
the double resignation and Mr.. Nc

has been appointed. He hopes to
lay down the work as Director
General of the Railroads the first of
January, but will continue longer

the enormous amount Of work Of
many kinds that has failed on him
while the last nineteen months Of
The war called for the great and
successful efforts he put forth.
Mr.. McAdoo quits the Treasury
secretaryship and the direction Of
the railroads for the sole purpose Of
returning to private practice Of law

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument Of
| mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
,e,vce of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
J,vs the Red Cross surpasses it immeasurably not
univ in the range and variety Of its effort, but in
Efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is, we may say, the arms Of the
rohers of the world reached out to their sons to
hind I'D their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Gross is an army ssithout gun that wages war
oDy upon suffering and heartache. Where the
fac of the stars goes there the banner Of the Red
Cross must fy beside it. We watch our boys GO
forth to war with a spirit Of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency Of humanity presses
elose behind them that it's work is not incidental.
but the intelligent directed effort of one Of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross: we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds ,-again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet again! For this is war for
The defense of civilization, and we Of great Free
splendid, glorious America. have every intention
