The rapid manner in which the con-
stitutional amendment for the prohi-
bition of liquor is being ratified by the
different states seems to indicate the
fulfllment of the prediction that the
United States will he dry by consti-
tutional amendment one year from
next March. BY the last of March
three-fOurths of the states may have
ratified the amendment. and if so il
will go into effect one year after rati-
flcation. 1t is observed that the fight
goes on in various states by the liquor
interests and all possible legal OBJ
stacles are thrown in the way of the
adoption of the prohibition amend
ment. but the prohibition march goes
steadily forward.

Every acquisition of territory has
aroused bitter opposition. History

tory from Mexico after the Mexican
war, and again when Seward bought
Alaska from Russia. Ii is within the

of territory has been successful.
Perhaps that is whcf makes Sena-
tor Ashurst's proposition a real sub

northern part of Mexico to the United
States. and puts up some pretty good
reasons for the acquisition. Just as
Tom Reed complained bitterly about

in accordance with request, has fur
nished The Citizen relate to general
tiles, and bring the major topic only
TO the present time. Among the
concrete questions, which will tax
the highest wisdom of the peace
commissioners, are the following:
1. As to the mooted question of A
League of Nations. If formed what
ones shall be admitted, on what
terms, what officers, how these shall
be chosen, how knotty questions
shall be decided, and what action the
league shall take if any unruly ma
ton makes trouble.
2. As to the question of disarma-
ment. How large a military and
naval force may each nation main
tain. and may this vary according

3. As to compelling Germany, ct al,
TO pay the entire expenses of tho
war: and whether additional indem-
nifty or fine shall be imposed, by way
of penalty and future warning.

expenses that rest upon the victori-
Gus nations be pooled" that is. so

suffering least, shall undertake to
carry a larger share of the financial
burden.
5. As TO the futury boundary be-
tween France and Germany. Shall

shall Alsace-Lorraine be transferred

made the dividing line as affording
a boundary easily defendedY
6. Shall Poland be constituted as a
sovereign power? If so, shall it be
restricted to the territory possessed,
when last independent? Or shall it
be allowed TO approach or even
reach the extent Of territory, at the
time Of its greatests glory, with free
and safe access TO the North SeaY
7. As to the Austrian Empire.
Shall il be totally dismembered and
resolved into its original elements, as
determined by race? II so, shall its
people of German stock be annexed
TO the German Empire?

stantinople and the "unspeakable

10. That question of worldwide
interest, and of vast Importance to
coming generations, relating to the
disposal of colonial possessions, in
different continents and the islands
of the sea. Radical changes in this
regard may need to be made.
There are other questions which
will readily occur to the student OF
Political Science, in its broader as
poets. But as the representatives
of the various powers have scarcely
entered upon their deliberations,
and inasmuch as the aspect of af-
fairs is liable to sudden changes.
the writer deems it wise TO refrain
from immediate discussion of the
points involved. There may be
Kaleidoscope changes in store for
us, as to the aspect Of world affairs.
The present conditions were yelled
from mortal view, four years ago.
All Of the above named topics, and
others, are very inviting. Further
along it may seem best TO give some
of them careful attention.

WHY BOOZE WAS BANISHED

Some Of the city newspapers are
so dazed with the rapidity Of rati-
flcation of Federal Prohibition by
the Al state legislatures that their
editors are asking why booze BAN
ished and banished so unanimously.
The above graphic representation OF
waste occasioned by the liquor traf-
flc is one of the main answers to
that question. With millions OF
people starving to death all over tho
world the American People thought
it foolish TO continue a traffic which
produced no good but wastes both
materials and manhood. America is
entering the great commercial and
industrial struggle following the
war fully released from the incubus
Of legalized booze.

and then released. She broke up an
other saloon and was not even arrest

appeal TO Governor Stanley. He told
her he did not approve Of her methods.
She also addressed both houses OF the
state legislature. She visited Chicago
and other cities, between times contin-
uing the work of smashing saloon FIX
lures.
States Enact Dry Laws.
The activities of these early leaders
OF the prohibition movement gradually
brought about the enactment Of state
legislation prohibiting or regulating
the sale Of liquor. Some Of the early
state laws provided for local option.
which made possible local prohibition,
as In Connecticut in 1899.
In 1897 Neal Dow, alarmed by 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

liquor; these laws were subsequently
repealed. Massachusetts adopted local
option by towns. Iowa passed con

declared void and was superseded by a

away with by the famous Mulct law
which itself was modified. Several
states rejected prohibition sought t6
