This week is the anniversary Of md
battle of Jutland and a proper time I'd
comment upon the recent statement Of
Admiral Gleaves, which forecast thd
sally of the German high seas fleet
Just as the U-boatS on the American
coast is in measure the evidence OF
desperation, so would the advent Of
the Kiel squadron be a reckless venture
riSking everything. One can conceive
Of nothing else the German has with
which to convince us of his resourcesj
his "indomitable' will TO win and his
conviction that 1918 must see victory
or disaster for the eagles Of Prussia.
If there is anything for which Bril-
tain and France and America are pre1
pared, it is the day" 1t will be tho
most glorious day for the allies in all
the four years of war when that day
comes in which the German high seas
fleet accepts battle with the Grand fleet
of Britain and its allied squadron

POLITICS AND WAR.

EVEN the candidates admit that the political pot isn't
- boiling enough so they can notice it, Indeed it is
scarcely scamng this early in the controversy and for
that reason sage political hesant about sound
ing their forecasts Such condition under present cir
cumstances is rather to be expected With Armsgedden
on the boards there is bound to be lack of enthusiasm
for small time stuff such platforms keynote speeches,
roorbacks campaign es,rlaron calls and all the other
camoufage and paraphernalia of politics When the gov
ernment is calm by millions for serious and Strenu
Gus work the plain people will I've slow to tear its col
lccye neggce to secure swivel chair positions for this
man or that The the thing the dominant issue
before which other matters the piiing affairs OF
pygme and there is bound TO be lack of torch light
cessons while the political orator will prae frequently
to empty benches and scattered and lukewarm audiences
One point however, should be borne in mind by those
who might neglect politics entirely and that is that the men
chosen for office will have power for good evil in
the war not possible the citizens large This par
cularly true of congressman who should measure up
the highest standard of militant Amercanism if the war
is to have the support needs in the legislative halls of the
nation Sam Blythe once said that this war will he won
lost in Washington which of course isn't literally true
but it is enough the truth show the need of the
right man in high places in our government Only Amer
leans of the fearless fighting kind wanted there
Which applies also down the of the scale Any law
forcemen officer for instance who is week knced in his
patriotism may let some shadow Hun go free and to
that extent weaken and strengthen the enemy
state legislator of Prussiau pacifst tendencies might
block legislation needed give cooperation with the
tiona government, and any example Of near-AmeriCan
ism is worse in public office than in private life There
fore the voter should look them over and base his ballot
on patriotism instead of politics

is NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL
PROHIBITION AN INVASION OF
THE PEOPLES RIGHTS?

Arguing that a vast majority of the
people esteem alcoholic beverages es-
sential to their health and happiness,
the liquor interests are saying that
the government has no right to stop
supplying the demand for them. The
weak point in this charge is that 1t is
based upon false premises. Those who
advance such argument will, of course,
have to admit that the citizens of the
fourteen states which have constitu-
tional prohibition favor that policy of
dealing with the drink traffic, and that
as to the thirteen states dry by statute
1t Is reasonable to suppose that the
law would not have been enacted If
public sentiment had been against It.
In all Of the remaining wet states
there Is so large an element for pro-
hibition that the question Is constantly
before the people in state. county or
local elections.
Be that as 1t may, the people of the
states whose legislatures meet In 1919
will have an opportunity to give ex-
preston to their desire for ratification
Of the federal amendment through
their votes for members of those leg
islatures Thus a vast army of people
whose rights the liquorltes insist are
being invaded will be amply protected.
