The Federal Amend

Let us now read the proposed amend when, which evidently has not been heard or read:
 Section l. After one year from the ratification of this article the manu- facture, sale or transportation of intox- icating liquors within, the importation thereof into. the exportation thereof from the United States, and all terri. tory subject to the Jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby pro hibited.
 Section g. THE CONGRESS AND THE SEVERAL STATES SHALL HAVE CONCURRENT POWER TO ENFORCE THIS ARTICLE BY APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. k
 Section 3. This article shall be inopera- tive unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the constitution by the leg gisiatures of the several states, as provided iH the constitution, within seven years from the date of the submis- sion thereof to the states by the Con- gress.'
 Examine for yourselves and see if this is not correct
 Whether Section 1 is clear in its pro- visions and easily understood or not, will not discuss. The closing sentence sale or transportation of intoxicating liquor or the importation thereof or the exportation thereof in the United States and all the territories is hereby pro- hibited." I have nothing to say as to the provisions of this section, but wish to call your special attention to the fact that it is not self-operative, and requires additional legislation to give it any force ar effe,,t

Amendment Not Ex'
 plained By Bowie

We would call attention to the omis- sion of MT. Bowie to read or explain the proposed amendment We ask you. fellow citizens. whether you have read the amendment?
 How many of you can tell how the amendment reads, or what is proposed by 1t? And what remains to be done to make it available for any purpose, even if adopted?
 You have so often been told that a vote for the amendment is vote against whisky. and that vote against rhe amendment is a vote for whisky, and you may have accepted this as true, from the assertion of Mir. Bowie and others. and have formed your conclusions from such statements. without consideration.
 As a prohibitionst in it's proper sensa) I propose to demonstrate incontroverti- bly, the assertion that the adoption of this amendment, instead of taking whis- ky out of politics. opens wide the door for its future discussion and aggravates and endangers the policy
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-08-06
Section 2 a tumble

Now, let us analyize section and see what is in it. It says, Congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appro- priate legislation" What Is exactly meant by the proposition that Congress and the several states shall have concur rent power, I will not undertake to de- fine definitely. do know, however, that 1t must mean that Congress and the sew eral states shall act together. in this leg islation or it must mean that Congress can act alone. and the states severallv alone before section 1 can be enforced. What tumble! Must the several states all have a meeting to agree on this leg islation? Can the states act separately at home at their usual places of legisl- tion? If so. how can you expect all the states, particularly those in favor of the sale of whisky or wine or beer to pro- vide the same rules and regulations and penalties as those states which favor .'bone-dry" prohibition? Do you expect the law to be enforced uniformly by diff ferent states in the union? Dou you ex- pect the state of Ohio to pass the same penal law as Alabama? The mere sug- gestion shows the absurdty of the prop osition Do you hold that the states will take no action and leave it to Congress? This Is an unreasonable supposition, be. cause those states which desire to legal ize the sale of whisky or wine or beer will not fail to exercise the concur rent power to act or to refrain vested in them by this amendment. Of course, they will exercise what authority they have and be at variance with other states and Congress. This confusion inevitably arises by the adoption of this amend ment Instead of getting rid of the whisky legislation as you have been rromised. you aggravate the matter.

BIG CORPORATIONS
 ACCUSED 0F PLOT
Pennsylvania Railroad and Packing Concerns Charged
 With Conspiracy

New York, August 5.-Charged with conspiracy in allowing and accepting over a five-year period rebates on freight charges for live stock shipments, the Pennsylvania Railroad company, Armour & Co., Swift x Co, and Jersey City Stock Yards company were indicted by federal grand jury touday. The offenses are alleged to have been committed be- tween November, 1912, and December, 1917
 The Jersey City Stock Yards company. according to the indictments, was cre- ated by the Armour anw Swift interests, owned by them and incorporated in Del aware. This subsidiary concern, it is charged, leased from the Pennsylvania railroad yards in Jersey City, enabling the packing companies to route ship ments to New York from western points owe rthe Pennsylvania lines and thus benefit by the concessions and discrim- nations in rates mentioned in the in dictmens. These yards, it is alleged, were obtained for sum less than one- fourth of their rental value.
 The rebates complained of, the federal charges state, were on shipments from Chicago, East St. Louis, South Omaha, Kansas City, Louisville and other loca- tions of Armour and Swift dressing sta tionS.

Perpetual Change and
 Confusion

We call your attention to the important fact that all legislative bodies, federal or state, which have the authority toI legislate, have the power also to change, amend or repeal any of it's former leg-I islation. Of course, neither CongressI nor the states can have any authority to alter or amend in any way section Fl of the amendment, but as we have said, section 1 is dead without appropriate leg islation' by Congress and the several states as provided in section ?, ndsweI have shown incontrovertibly that it is left with Congress and the several states. in| their several discretions, to deterInine| what kind of laws and what kind. of penalties may be adopted by Congress| and by the states acting concurrently orl independently of each other, as may bel required, to enforce section 1; and that all of these legislative bodies have stneI power to alter, amend or repeal, sever ally, what they have done. 2
 Now, fellow citizens, this is evidently what grows out of this amendment II adopted. Are you willing to take this
 risk and surrender the rights and se-
 curity which you now enjoy, and the
 certainty of their maintenance so long
 as YOU hold the power yourselvesH

JUDGE T. w. COLEMAN
Veteran Democrat of Eutaw, Answers Sidney Bowe Earnestly Opposes Federal Amendment. Says Makes tumble of Laws Endangers Prohibition.

Judge T. W. Coleman of Greene coun- by, the Nestor of our Alabama consti- tuition and one of the veteran demo- crats of Alabama. has added am other public service to his long and distinguished record. He has written an article riddling MT. s. J. Bowie's argument for the federal prohibition amendment.
 As Brooks Lawrence and his men, who are not democrats at all, are as- sailing all old line democrats who, like Judge Coleman. oppose the federal amendment as "liquor democrats" it is well to bear in mind Judge Coleman's record for distinguished public serv- ice. He is, of course, stanch advo- cate of prohibition in Alabama.

Requires Statutes to Make It Effective

It is a dead letter without the aid of additional legislation as provided in Sec tion 2, which follows Section 1. This Section 2 reads as follows:
 Section 2. THE CONGRESS AND THE SEVERAL STATES SHALL HAVE CONCURRENT POWER TO ENFORCE THIS ARTICLE BY APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION"
 As stated above. section is inopera- tive of itself and requires the legislation provided in section above quoted to give it force and vitality and to make it effective for any purpose whatever. You have been told time and again, and many of you may have made up your mind on that assumption, that this amendment puts whisky out of politics, And here you have it that section not only invites, but opens wide for all fu- ture time, the field for political agita- tion and strife, both in state legislatures and in CnppraSS

Eutaw Ala An

Eutaw, Ala, August 5, 1918:
 No opportunity to reply having been extended by MT. Bowie in the speech which he made, the only way to ex- pose the irrelevancy of much he had to say, is by this separate publication. I hope every one who heard his address and similar addresses, will read in an impartial mind, this review.
 All that MT. Bowie had to say, as to the evils of whisky and as to the good which has resulted from prohibit tion thus far, is not denied. His ref erence to the saving by Jefferson coun- ty and it's officers and by public en- terprises throughout the country, are all true, and by this review is not questioned. MT. Bowie called attention to the wonderful development of the United States, of it's growth. power and influence, and the esteem in which it is held by the whole world; but MT. Bowie failed to emphasize or even call attention to the fact that all of these attainments. not only of the United States, but in Alabama. have been full ly accomplished under the system which |now prevails, and without the aid of the proposed amendment

Bowie on States Rights|

As to MT. Bowie's argument on states rights which has been ols- cussed throughout the state, we reler very briefly. No one doubts that when an amendmen has been adopted, ac- cording to the provision of the consti- tuition it becomes a law as part or the constitution, but this is no argu- ment or reason that the amendment IS a wise one or ought to be adopted. Every argument he made was used after the adoption of the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution. which restricted the powers of the states to declare who shall exercise the right of suffrage. ~
 Thomas Jefferson, whom he quoted. never held that all proposed amend ments should be adopted. He cau- toned the people that the right to amend should be granted to meet fu- ture emergencies. but that great care should be taken as to all such changes in our organic law.

Woman Suffrage

MT Bowie touched very gingerly tho woman's suffrage amendment and told his hearers not to confuse that amend ment with the prohibition amend- ment. but when that amendment comes on for action, the same argument will be ri~ade in it's favor as MT. Bowie made in favor of this amendment. and there will be plenty of advocates going over the country telling the people that there is no invasion of states rights so long, as the course provided by the con- stitution for an amendment is followed.

Suppose none of tie states exercise their authority, which no one has righd to expect, and the matter is left entire1 ly with Congress. The question will then be up before every congressional election as to what will constitute "ap-
