THE LIQUOR CAMPAIGN
OPENED IN LOUISIANA

The contest for the ratification of
the national prohibition amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States has been waged less than
four months.
During that time the amendment
has been considered by fourteen
states, namely; Mississippi, Virgin
la, Kentucky, South Carolina, North
Dakota, Maryland, Montana, Tex
as. Delaware, South Dakota, Mas
sachusetts, New York, Nebraska
and Connecticut,
The first eleven of the states ma
med ratified the amendment by to-
tai senate votes of 308 for to SO a.
gainst, and total house votes of874
for to 236 against. Thus it will be
seen that of the total senate vote
"a per cent was dry with 70 per
cent of the house votes. One state
North Dakota, voted unanimously
in both houses for ratification.
In but one of the three last nam
ed states, Connecticut, was the is
sue squarely met, and ratification
defeated. In the other two, New
York and Nebraska, the liquor in
terests were strong enough, not to
defeat the prohibitionists, but mer
ely to postpone action on the mat
ter to a future date.
One fact which has done mu ch
to dishearten the liquor people is
that FIVE of the above named states
were wet states, which were relied
upon to defeat ratification. Itwould
require a great deal of optimism
on the part of the saloon and brew
cry crowd to get much consolation
or hope out of the campaign thus
far, and the prediction that the a.
meudment will become part of the
federal Constitution within few
years, three or four at the.most, is
pretty generally concurred in by
observant people everywhere wha-
Their they are prohibitionists or an
ii prohibitionists.

DODGING THE ISSUE
AS USUAL.

The declaration of Mr.. Bouan-
chaud, Speaker of the House of Re-
representatives., some two weeks ago,
that he would favor Il referendum
on the question of ratification of
the prohibition amendment to the
federal Constitution, is the FRS
intimation which the people have
had as to the attitude of the saloon
interests on that question.
1t is to be regretted that the pre-
siding officer of the lower house has
assumed the position of being spo-
kesman of any special interest =
and much less the saloon interests
IN this country.
We do not mean to charge that
he is the special representative of
the liquor people. but his indiscrete
and entirely voluntary statement
has placed him in a position where
he will be so regarded by many PEG
pie. This is particularly true be-
cause the plan he suggests happens
to be the identical plan of campai-
On which the saloons in this coun-
try have adopted.
His position is to be regretted
for another reason. 1t it a trans
parent attempt to dodge an issue
of tremendous Importance to the
people, and to shlrk the perform
ance of a plain duty which the Con
stitution of the United States, the
supreme law OF the land, has, in
unmistakable language, imposed
upon the legislators of the several
states.
The proposed referendum would
necessarily be entirely outside of
The law, and il would be imposslble
to surround it with any legal safe
guards against fraud and ballot
box stuffing.
But perhaps the most remarkable
feature about the matter is the spea
ker's declaration that in his opin-
lon it will require majority of the
entire membership of the house. IN
Guiding those absent, and not vot-
ing, to ratify the amendment.
The duty of ruling on questions
Of this kind is quasi judicial func
ton, and so far as we are aware.
no speaker of the House has ever
declared, in advance of the necessi-
~ of making it, what his ruling in |
i given question would be.
Neither the speakers opinion nor
his ruling, on this question is, how
ever, Of any practical Importance. |
1.-THE friends of prohibition succeed
ID securing q legal majority in fa-
vor of ratification, bis views on the
question stated will have not the |
effect.

WEARS HIS SHAGGY BEARD

ATLANTA, July 4.-The report
that uncle" Joe Hall, of Bibb county,
had shaved his face, which was current
around the capitol and the <imball
House few days ago, is entirely er-
roneous. He is still wearing his IA
vorite adornment of gray shaggy whis-
kers, and still looks as ferocious as
ever In his speech yesterday against
the ratification of the national prohi-
bition amendment to the federal con-
stitution he gave the House a sample
of stentorian oratory with the muller
cut out First delaying action by the
House on a technically until it was
disposed of, he then launched an ar
gunant against the ratification reso-
luton on the ground that the state was
surrendering it's "souverign rights" in
voting for national prohibition. The
House overwhelmingly ratified the
amendment.

RUSSIANS WILL PERSIH
RATHER THAN SUBMIT

Paris, July Alexander f Keren-
sky, the former Russian premier to-
day told the Associated Press that be-
tween November, 1917, when his gov
eminent fell, and May. 1918, he was
in hiding in various cities in Central
Russia.
Surprise was expressed that a man
so we'll known, with a price on his
head, could remain in the largest cit
les plotting against the Bolsheviki
without being arrested. 1t was sug-
gested that the police system in Rus
STA must be very poor.
"The police system in Russia is
always very poor" Kerensky replied.
He refuesed to say how he had left
Russia as he might incriminate
friends who had aided him.
Kerensky presents the appearance
of man who has been long bounded
and as in fear of his life.
"You cannot understand the hor-
ror of our situation" he said. "The
shame of the peace at Brest-Litovsk
has caused our friends and allies to
consider the Russian people as de-
serter, but the Russian people will
perish rather than submit to German
tyranny"

APPEAL FOR TIE STACKER:

We have been and gone and done il
and we're playing the part OF
man;
And we're willing to go to FRANCE
to do the fighting in the van;
But we leave at home the Stacker and
our tugs which are no use;
So before we leave our home folks,
let us make little truce.
Don't treat him too unkindly if you
meet him at the ball.
Ask Father not to kick him if you
ask him in the hall,
Make his evenings quite as pleasant
as his ailments in his blood,
And his father is to blame, not him,
Take and teach him in his spare time
how to knit such things as
socks,
AS he never learns the Bayonet drill
or how to stand and box;
He may be good to Mother and quite
useful in his home,
But he'd surely face firing squad if
he had to cross the foam.
Now you girls need tango lizards, and
some partner in the dance.
And may forget his Yellow Streak but
can't forgive him, too,
So when the time comes, as il will
when some return,
You've get him and us to choose be-
tween and choose which man
to spurn.

A SEA LYRIC.
There is no music that man hath
heard
Like the voice of the minstrel sea,
Whose major and minor chords are
fraught
With infinite mystery
Fer the sea is harp, and the winds
of God
Play over his rhythmic breast,
And bear en- the sweep of their mighty
wings
The songs of vast unrest
There is no passion that nan has
sung,
Like the love of the deep-souled sea,
Whose tide responds to the moons
soft light
With marvellous melody
Fer. the sea is harp, and the wind
of God
Play over his rhythmic breast,
And bear on the sweep of their mighty
wings
The song of vast unrest.
There is no sorrow that man has
known,
Like the grief of the worthless Main,
Whose Titan bosom forever throbs
With an untranslated pain
Fer the sea is harp, and the wings
of God
Il. Play over his rhythmic breast,
And bear on the sweep of their mighty
wings
The song of vague unrest
