WHAT IF A STATE FAILS TO
RATIFY?
National Prohibition In the Light Of a
Supreme Court Decision.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: 1t
may be worth the while TO remind read
ers Of THE SUN that the Supreme Court
of the United States. In 1866. speaking
through Chief Justice Chase. declared
OF the sale of intoxicating liquors
within a State that it was "a subject
which the Constitution places under the
exclusive control OF the States" License
Tax Cases, 8 Wallace. 472.l
How then can such control be taken
away from a State by the device OF a
proposed amendment TO the Federal Con-
stitution which that particular State
sees At not to ratify? JOHN Doe

mother or the two lighting soldiersI
a moral woman"
Then Mr.. KEARNs took his pen
firmly In hand and with painstaking
care pointed out that the allotments
of their pay the soldiers had ordered
to be sent to their mother In lieu of
the part of their civilian wages they
had previously given for her support
camo from hard earned money which
was theirs to do with as they liked,
and then wrote in the line following
the question as to the mothers NOR
ais, "It is none of your d bust
ness"
In week the mother received both
allowance and allotments.
Members of the House heard this
astonishing recital In wide eyed
amazement. Piteous appeals, urgent
demands, stories Of appalling need, Of
suffering, oil these had failed to Sc
cure allotments four, six, eight months
in arrears. The d had simply
worked a miracle.
We confess that for the moment we
are too overweight by the complexl-
ties, social, ethical, psychological,
whatever they may be, to offer so much
as a guess as to what mysterious
force lies in the application Of a d
and a dash to slothful or stupid or
Indifferent or ignorant officials. We
rejoice that the application so made
resulted blessedly, but regret that the
woman in the case, lacking her SOL
der boys allotments, was forced to
leave her home TO do unaccustomed
labor for so many hours daily that
another boy. not yet old enough to
fight for his country, and indeed need
Ing the mothers care she could not
give, took sick and died.
When members had recovered from
establishment Mr.. KEARSs was much
questioned, and finally summed up his
opinion Of the method Of the depart
ment in such cases In this comment:
when they refer this case to me, am
to pass upon the morality OF this
woman? Should any person be clothed
with the power to pass judgment upon
the character OF mothers with sons who
are in France? Is It to be left 70 the
Judgment of any one whether these
women have al all times lived the proper
kind OF life or not? I think it iy An
outrage, I think it is a disgrace,
when our boys are fighting in France

This, II seems TO us. is comment

Va 1.-THE deefat of ratification has been
received BY the country with sur
prise and indignation. The people
want peace. They want peace and
they want a league Of nations to
guard the peace. Whose name It
bears, which party brand it wears.
they care not at all. They longed for
and expected ratification before ad-
journment of the Senate. M
'''The making Of peace is no more a
party question than was the making
of war The American people. with
out regard to party, stood behind the
war until the day of victory. With
like unanimity they now stand behind
the treaty. -...1
Shall the small minority who op-
pose a league of nations in any form
defeat ratification? Shall fifteen
senators decide where America shall
stand in this world crisis? Eighty
senators have shown by their votes
that they favor the great principle
of the league of nations. The fate
of the treaty rests in their hands.
They have the votes. They have the
power. Theirs is the responsibility.
'The failure to ratify the peace
treaty has encouraged social unrest
both at home and abroad. Europe
must have supplies or it will face
starvation and anarchy this winter.
Our farmers, cotton planters. live
stock raisers and manufacturers have
large surplus production which they
can market only in Europe. The
rates of exchange already demon

credits These credits. resting upon
commerce and international securi-
ties, are the foundation Of our con-
tinued prosperity and are vital to the
maintenance Of order and life in
Europe. VI.

Men and women of America, this
is your problem. Your interests, your
welfare, the honor and the future Of
your country are involved. Your will
is the supreme command for the men
in Washington entrusted by your
votes with guiding the nation along
the paths Of peace and victory.
1.-THE treaty should be ratified at
the earliest possible moment after the
Senate reconvene, December l. In
the name of thousands Of Americans
who have died to bring peace and end
war, and of millions Of Americans
who have toiled and sacrificed to that
end. we call upon the Senate to for
get prejudice and partisanship and
agree upon a resolution Of ratification
couched in, terms that will permit the
other signatories of the treaty to &C
Quiesce in the conditions Of our rati-
fication." s.s- 80 So. fl
