PROHIBITION AMENDMENT

(FrOm San Francisco Star)

(From San Francisco Star.)
The cause of national prohibition
of the manufacture and traffic in
intoxicating liquors made a great ad-
vance when the house Of representa-
tives, by a vote of 2S2 to l28,; passed
the constitutional amendment having
That end in view. The measure had
already passed the senate by an over
whelming majority, and now goes to
the individual states for ratification.
One important change was made, ex-
tending the time fixed by the senate
within which ratification may be
made, from six to seven years. This
amendment, which is favorable to
prohibition, was promptly accepted by
the senate.
1t is very doubtful that the congress
has the right to limit t1e time for rat
1flcatlOn. The Constitution makes no
provision for limitation, and many will
agree with Senator Borah that an
amendment once submitted becomes
effective whenever the requisite num-
Der of states act favorably thereon,
no matter how many years have pas
sedSsince its adoption by the Congress.
Negative action on the amendment
may be reversed at any time, but af-
firmative action stands; therefore the
advocates of national prohibition have
the upper hand, and may make a
leisurely campaign if they so desire,
knowing that eventually they are GER
tain to achieve their objective.
Based on the number of states now
under prohibition, it will be necessary
to gain but nine to reach the number
required to adopt the amendment
provided, as is natural to suppose,
that all dry" states vote favorably
on national prohibition. Twenty-sev-
en- are now dry" and but thirty-six
are necessary.
Six states are counted upon to 20
dry this year-Florida, Minnesota,
Nevada, Ohio, Texas, and Wyoming.
This will leave but three more to be
which certainly should not be a diff
f1cult task. Maryland, Delaware and
Vermont are counted upon to join the
prohibition states next year, while even
California, which has a very large
area Of 'dry' territory and is almost
certain to abolish the saloon this year,
will be good fighting territory if need
ed after 1918. Connecticut also should
be good possibility, and the South,
which is now well in line, might easily
add one or two more states to the
"dry" column. Kentucky, home of
bourbon and sour mash, is counted
upon confidently to ratify the amend
ment this month, but "the beer that
made Milwaukee famous" is expected
to keep Wisconsin in the wet" COL
umn.
From the present outlook, there
fore, it is entirely reasonable that the
required number of notifications will
be recorded well within the seven
year period fixed by congress, and in
1925 the United States will be bone
dry" from Portland in Maine, Port
land in Oregon, and from Oshkosh in
Wisconsin, to Oskaloosa in Alabama.

cession was in sight, bringing their
donations of canned goods, sewing,
