PROHIBITION
LAW UPHELD.
Supreme Court Declar-
es Law Constitu-
tional.
Court L. Unanimous.

WASHINGTON Wartime pro-
hibition was held constitutional Mon
day by the Supreme Court in a I'M
animous decision. Thus vanished
the hopes of many for a wet" Holt
day time.
No decision was rendered on the
so-called beer cases involving the
constitutionality of the Volstead law.
the prohibition enforcement act,
framed to carry out the intent of the
prohibition amendment to the Con-
stitution.
In passing, however, Associate
Justice Brandeis did hold that the
prohibition amendment was binding
on the States as well as the Federal
Government.
The court entirely reversed the
contention of the "wets" that war
time prohibition was outside the war
time powers of Congress and pointed
out that wartime control of food and
railroads still were in effect.
The decision added one of the final
milestones to the long fight to make
the country dry.
The court will render opinions
again next Monday at which time the
beer cases are expected to be decid-
ed, after which the court will recess
until January 5.
Upon the courts decision on the
prohibition enforcement law will de-
pend whether the Federal Govern
ment has at hand any legal means
for making the amendment effective.
The constitutionality of wartime
prohibition, however, the drys are
confident, will keep the country dry
until the amendment is carried into
effect by law of its own.
Federal Court DEGREES in New
York dismissing proceedings brought
by Dryfoos, Blum & Company to
compel internal revenue officials to
permit the withdrawal from bond of
whiskey for beverage purposes were
affirmed by the court.
In deciding the question the Su-
preme Court also dissolved injunc-
tons restraining revenue officials
from interfering with the removal
from bond Of about 60,000,000 gal
Ions Of whisky valued at approx
mately s75,OOO,OOO held by the Ken
lucky Distilleries & Warehouse Com
pany of Louisville, Ky.
The judgment of the court in the
Kentucky and New York cases was
unanimous.
Justice Brandeis said the Govern
ment did not appropriate the liquor
by stopping its domestic sale, as the
way was left open for exporting it.
The signing Of the armistice did
not abrogate the war powers of Con-
gress, Justice Brandeis said. JUS
tice Brandeis called attention to the
continued control of the railroads
and presumption of powers by the
Government relative to coal and
sugar under war acts to show that the
Government continues to exercise
various war powers despite the sign
ing of the armistice.
The constitutional prohibition
amendment is binding on the Federal
Government as well as the States and
supersedes State laws, the court de-
clared.
Justice Brandeis said there was no
basis for the contention that Presi-
dent Wilson's statement in his mes
sage vetoing the prohibition enforce
ment act that the war had come to an
end was proclamation announcing
the termination of the war.

Checking Bolshevism.

A year ago the big final Hun drive was Just
getting under way. For months it kept the
world in suspense, fighting for the very life of
democratic government
Now there is spreading and gathering
strength in Europe movement which may be
an even greater menace to democratic institu-
tons than the miIitarism of Germany a year
ago and which in all probability will take
much longer to dispose OF.
Prusstanism was put down with force. Deal
ing with it was primarily military problem
Bolshevism, under which name the new move
nent is operating, cannot be suppressed by
might alone. 1t must be allowed to take its
course, confined to certain limits
That is the problem of the civilized world
now. We must build dyke against it and ar
range to pump the seepage back. We do not
want it here. Western Europe does not want
it. a line must be established to hold it in
check. 1t it springs up back of that line firmly
take it in hand and send the leaders to Russia
or wherever bolshevism dourishes so that they
may have their fill of it

What the Soldier Thinks.

American-soIdiers did not fight in Europe be-
cause they wanted to. They fought because they
knew the job had to be done and the best way
was to jump in and get it disposed of in the
shortest possible time. Most of them came
through the campaign firmly impressed with
the belief that something was going to be done
to make it impossible, or at least less easy
for anything of the kind ever to occur again.
That. in fact, was one Of the things that the
majority felt they were fighting for.
Some of the soldiers are being heard
from in regard to a league of nations One or
them, Captain Thomas G. Chamberlain of New
York City, has given his views in letter to
SeRator Borah, one of those Republicans WHO

THE LIBERTY CALENDAR

An organized effort is to be
made to improve our time calen-
dar. The American Equal Month
Calendar association has been in
corporated by so leading Minneap-
oils business and professional men
with that end in view. The sole
purpose of this organization will
be the securing of a change in the
calendar so that all the months
shall be of exactly the same length.
This is to be accomplished by the
adoption by congress of the liberty
calendar. which is a very simple
modification of the calendar now
in use.
In this new calendar there are
IS months of exactly four weeks
each, every month commencing
with Monday. In the construction
changes were made in the pres
ent Gregorian form. They are as
follows:
First, New Year day is made an
independent legal holiday. 1t is
placed between the last day of De-
cember and the first. day of Jan
uary. 1t is not included in any
week or month.
Second. another independent
legal holiday called Correction
day" is provided for leap years.
This is likewise placed between
the last day of one month and the
first day of the next. 1t is not in
cluded in any week or month.
Third, the remaining 364 days
are divided into Is months of eX-
actly four weeks each.
The names of the months in this
new calendar are January, Febru-
airy, Liberty, March. etc. The use
of the word Liberty" will Ameri-
canize the calendar at the same
time it IS more more convenient.
Under this new form all holiday :
and anniversaries Will always fall
on the same day OF the week. a
promissory note given for any
number of weeks, months and
years will always come due on the
same day OF the week it was given.
1t is claimed that the saving of
time and mental effort in making

It was two days later when Val
visited drinking place in the slum

Now Val had invited Esther to a
local entertainment for Tuesday
evening and had prevailed upon her
TO accompany him.
At the close of the entertainment
they sauntered hcmeward slowly. 1t
was an exquisitely perfect June
night and Val kept his eye out
closely, scanning tree and bush for
the lurker he expected to help him
stage real act of valor."
He was simply courteous to Esth-

grateful, but all the time he was
congratulating himself over the in

that would be due him when the

Removing Postal Company
Officers.

However some may differ with Postmaster
General Burleson in the matter of policies it
is conceded all around that be has the courage
of his convictions. Removal of the officers OF
the Postal Telegraph company for failure to
cooperate with the government Of course has
raised howl. Big business decidedly does not
approve and big business can put good many
thorns in the path OF public official. Few
will doubt that Mr.. Burlesons step was neces-
sary. We know that something along the same
line took place early in federal administration
of railroad affairs. Railroad officers we're not
in sympathy with government control and Dt-
rector McAdoo found it expedient to give them
a shaking up. Probably heads of the wire CON-
