her he did not approve Of her methods.
She also addressed both houses Of the

States Enact Dry Laws.
The activities Of these early leaders
Of the prohibition movement gradually
brought about the enactment Of state
legislation prohibiting OF regulating
the sale OF liquor. Some Of the early
state laws provided for local option.
which made possible local prohibition.
as In Connecticut in 1889.
In 1887 Neal Dow, alarmed ty the
vast quantities Of rum entering Maine
through the West Indian trade, began
his agitation for prohibition in that
state. Stringent regulation Of the
liquor traffic was established IN sever
al states, but the passage Of the Maine
prohibitory law in 1851 afforded the
first real test of prohibition. Massa.
chusetts and Rhode Island IN 1852
passed laws forbidding the sale Of
liquor; these laws were subsequently
repealed. Massachusetts adopted local
option by towns. Iowa passed a con-
stitutional amendment in 1882: It was
declared void and was superseded by
statute (1SS4). This in turn was done
away with by the famous Mulct law.
which itself was modified. Several
states rejected prohibition sought to
be secured either through statute CT
BY constitutional amendment. Kao-
sas adopted prohibition in 1850 and
little later openly violated the law. So
there was spasmodfc activity In most
parts Of the country toward pro.
hibitioo. but II was without plan or
cohesion. When the ratification 4 the
eighteenth amendment began the sttua-
ton by states as to prohibition WIS as
indicated by the following table.

AlC0Ougn the PrOMDluOn party
may be said to be committed by plat
form declaration to the adoption of a
national prohibition amendment. when
placed in power. the program OF the
party has never contemplated agita-
ton for nonpartisan amendment to
be enforced by administrations not IA
vOrable to prohibition. The
general opinion seems to favor admit
ting the desirability Of the amendment
as the end to be accomplished, at the
same time emphasizing its mpractl-
cability as a method, and denying Its
necessity as a condition precedent to
securing national prohibition. .
The odds are so overwhelmingly
against the ratification Of an amend
ment that they cannot possibly be
overcome through any reasonable ex-
penditure of time, money and effort so
long as the liquor traffic exists to fight
for its life."
The National Prohibition party is
certainly right about the apparent
odds against the adoption by congress
Of a constitutional amendment and
its ratification by the states. There
have been 1857 amendments to the
Constitution proposed and is Of them
have been passed. Herein lies the mar
vel Of the ratification Of the eighteenth
amendment In about thirteen months.
It has been figured that the chances
against the passing of an amendment
are 10 to 1. The case Is put thus:
The chances against ratification are
2 to in the house of representatives,
and 2 to in the senate, and, there
fore to 1 in congress. That Is:
Should the measure pass either house
by unanimous vote, the one-third op-
position in the other house would
block 1t In congress as q whole: In
other words, the resolution must be
supported on the two chances In each
house. while If the opposition scores
on its one chance In either house, the
measure fails. The chances In the
state legislatures are 6 to against
the resolution; hence, In the congress
and the legislatures combined the
chances are 10 to 1 against passage.
In other words, the measure might
pass both houses Of congress unani-
and be defeated as whole by
the one chance in the states. 1t might
pass either house Of congress and all
Of the legislatures unanimously. and
be defeated by the one chance In the
other house of congress.

Mexicaniized By A Lie

When Congress decreed war Prohibition ten days after the armistice. for the purpose of conserving the man-power of the Nation and to increase eff ciency in the production of arms munitions, ships, food and cloth ing for the army and navy" it enacted a lie which is meeting the fate of all lies exposed. Ex cept in States whel Prohibition prevails by their own authority, violations of the law are open and often defiant.
 If the act were what it pre- tends to be, war measure, 1t would be obeyed, in spite of some verbal uncertainties, but as it is we have litigation and re sistapce on one side and almost hopeless confusion and inertia on the other. The Department of Justice is unable to take a stand; the United States Attor> neys are interpreting the meas ure in various ways: the author ities of some States and cities are indifferent or helpless. and the courts are rendering con. dieting judgments.
 It is a sorry condition of af- fairs. and it grows out of the re. fusal ei Congress to meet the is. sue squarely by removing it's own clumsy lie from the statute books. There is evidence enough that most of the members have recognized their error. but rath- CT than ta ke the responsibility for right doing themselves, they have sought to compel unlawful action by the President. Never before in our history has there been such a shocking failure of government, and it all proceeds, naturally enough, from legis. lative lie.

 Yesterday corn vas quoted at S1.99 a bushel Hog meat on foot is now higher than was cured bacon four years ago.
 There is more food in the world than there ever was be- fore. Eastern Europe is pro ducing heavy crops this year The summer vegetable crop in Europe. ill spite of the confusion is enormous.
 The only excuses for high prices now are limited transpor- tation instruments. The result of this condition in Italy has been seen. Italy is today on the verge of chaos.
 Food is higher today in the United States than 1t is in France or England The day la borer has changed places with the man of steady salary. The advance in his wages has been somewhat in proportion to the advance iu the cost of food, but the salaried man and the man with small, but fixed income, is in bad way.
 The problem should attract the attention of Congress. It could be met by drastic legisla tion and regulation, but unfortu nately there is so little intelli gence in breadth or vision in either branch of our Congress that there is little hope from that body. Commercial Appeal

THRIFT FOLLOWS BARBECUE
Arkansas Boy and Girl Members of Pig and Canning Clubs Celebrate and Organize War Savings
 Societies

On occasion the organizers of War Savings Societies have their lots cast in most happy places, l and the reports that find their way to headquarters are of real interest.
 | o. P. Stark, one of the Arkan- sas field workers, on recent visit to Danville, Yell county. went through one of these eXper- fences. and his report to Moor head Wright, State Director at Little Rock. was replete with a l happy relation of the facts. Stark was evidently unaware that the members of the Yell County Boys Pig Club and the Girls Canning Club were to have field day on that particular time. The down town streets were deserted. many of the stores were closed, and inquiry revealed the reason.
 Stark followed the throngs and was just in time to reach the place of assembly before the huge joints of juicy beef, lambs and fowls had been removed from spite placed above trenches dug deep ip the ground. where a bed of glowing embers was even yet adding a coat of brown to the meats. and was freeing savory odors that copjured up visions of the feasts enjoyed by Robin Hood and his forest rovers in the heart of Sherwood Forest in Merrie England.
 Aud when the feast was spread the viands were attacked with a gusto and ample justice was done.
 Then the boys told about their venture in pigs, and the handi- work of the girls in the art of food preservation was dwelt OF in words, and their wares sam. pied.
 But this was not all. Thrift had place on the program. J. c. Cham bers told of value of the Campaign of Thrift planned by the United States Treasury De- partment. and how. what the boys and girls had accomplished was the outgl owth of that cam paign.
 He explained the value of the War Savings Societies that were springing up all over the coun- try. and told the boys and girls that all they had accomplished would count for naught did they not practice real saving. He told of the advantages of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. which he said would pave the way for prosperity when those who were boys and girls now had reached manhood and Womonhood. Chambers said there should be at least 95 such counties in Yell County.

How Southern Club Girls Helped Win

In the 15 Southern States there were last year 9,026 girls clubs organized by the home demonstration agents. These clubs had total membership of 286, PTS. Of these members 67,- 264 cultivated one tenth acre plots; others had one-twentleth acre, and still others were in bread and poultry clubs. Many of the club girls had to fill the place of some man Of the family called to the Army. and they faithfully attended to the work of planting, cultiyating and bar vesting crops, besides trying to keep up their own garden plot and to can the crop raised there. One of these girls is Violet Vii
 loughby who, with her widowed mother, ran a farm last.year in Pitt County, N. c. She report ed to the agent at the end Of the year that she filled only 775 cans with the products of her garden because the tobacco crop needed so much of her attention. I be lieve.' she said.
