The genial Kansas poet, Walt Mason, who writes
prose yme every day for the Capital Journal never
wrote anything pretter or more appropriate to an oc
cason than the falowing lines:
''The little green tents where the soldiers
sleep, and the sunbeams play and the wom-
en- weep, are covered with flowers today; and
between the tents walk the weary few who
were young and stalwart in sxty-two, when
they went to war away. The little green
tents are built of sod, and they are not long
and they are not broad, but the soldiers have
lots Of room and the sod is part of the land
they saved, when the flag Of the enemy
darky waved, the symbol Of dole and DOOM
The little green tent is thing dvine the
little green tent is country's shrine where
patriots lxneel and pray; and the brave men
left, so DID, SO few, We're young and stalwart
in sxty-twO, when they went to the war

not submit patiently to being de-
prived of their drink!
Clearly, Europe's mind is not our
mind. The thing roots deeper than
the difference between the drinking
habits of America and, say. Great
Britain. The sophisticated old world
could not understand our prohibition
measure, enacted from self-deny-
ing solicitude for the common wei
fare, any more than it can under
stand our motives in entering the
war. To this day. there are millions
of persons east of the Atlantic who
are waiting to see what the United
States will get out of the war; and
who. in the meantime, attribute all
sorts of ignoble motives to her. They
think that Canada and Australia,
who share Americas ideals, somehow
had" to enter the war, because they
belonged" to the British Empire.
If we faced this difference in view
points frankly we might get farther
in understanding the present world
conditions. Idealism seems to be IN
a peculiar degree the possession of
the newer. younger nations. The
simple neighborliness of pioneers has
worked out in n real spirit of broth
erhood and social service.

Often during the present year my
fellow traveller and l have talked
together of the incredulity which we
found in the old world concerning
Americas adoption of a nation
wide prohibition law. We have
sought to understand why foreign
friends could not comprehend it.
Much amusement we have had out OF
our countless conversations with
these bewildered inquirers-and al
so much food for serious reflection.
Practically every English-speakiEg
person we met talked about this

consistently a theme of discussion

To ASK
OVER 100000
VIII Make City Budget Over One
Million Dollars

Now that the city budget for 1920
has been drawn up, with the cXcep-
ton of the school appropriation, the
Board of Education at its next meet
ing will consider the size of the APP
preparation necessary to carry on
their 1920 program. Although John
X. Shcehy, president of the board,
stated this morning that he could
not give an estimate of the amount
needed by the school board during
1920, he said that il would be con-
sidcrably over that allowed last year.
The school appropriation last year
was 100000. This year it will be
considerably more. Nhother this
will be $4,000 or $4,000 or even
more will not be known until the
Board of School Estimate acts on
the School Board estimate Of its nee
essary 1920 budget The Estimate
Board will meet aboat the middle of
February.
When the school item is added to
the city budget in February there is
no doubt but what the total will pass
the million dollar mark.
In order to make the city budget n
million dollar budget it will only be
necessary to make the school appro-
priation $221.000 which would be $21,-
600 more than the 1919 school appro-
pIldLlOlI.
Owing to the Morgan explosion last
year the school board was forced to
make repairs to building amounting
to approximately $4,000 for which it
has not been reimbursed by the gov
ernment. This money had to be taken
from appropriations which had been
set aside by the Board to do other
work and as a result an additional ap-
propriation must be now so that in
1920 the work which was to have
been done this year can be complet-
ed.
The necessary funds for building a
new school would not be included in
the annual appropriation from the
city. The city budget as it stands at
present totals $779,741.45 or about
100000 over last years figures of
1913, ,947.52. The 100000 school ap-
boosted the 1919 budget
to $S73,947.52.

Rhode Island Makes Application

BU The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17:-Rhodo
Island through its attorney general,
Herbert A. Rice, asked the Supreme
Court today for permission to insti-
tute original proceedings to test the
validity of the national prohibition
amendment, and to enjoln federal
officials from enforcing 1t in that
state.
Validity of portions of the Volstead
prohibition enforcement act effecting
the constitutional amendment also is

The proceedings are similar to those
instituted yesterday on behalf of the

New Jersey although those today were
the first to be brought by State. They
were filed in compliance with O. resolu-
ton adopted by the Rhode Island Gem
eral Assembly directing that the State
bring a test case against the amend
ment. Rhode Island was one of the
States which refused to ratify the pro-
hibition amendment.
Allegations as to the constitutional
ity of the eighteenth amendment are
similar to those made yesterday in
the New Jersey case. Early action
upon the Rhode Island and New Jer-
sey motions are anticipated owing to
the short time now remaining before

QUESTION Of
G0vERNORSH|P
Is a Question Between Senator
Case and Governor RunyOn
UP TO ATTORNEY GENERAL
G. o. p. Conference Committee
Expects Report at Session
Next Tuesday
ey sncctni Correspondent.

TRENTON, Dec. I7.-The question
as to whether Governor Runyon or
Senator Case, of Somerset County, is
to hold the office of Acting Governor"
for the week between the convening
of the Legislature and the Inaugural
ton of Governor elect Edwards has
now been put up to Attorney General
MeCran. The Republican Legislative
conference committee yesterday,
through Senator Allen, of Salem, made
the request for an opinion as to which
man is entitled to the Office for the
week. He is expected to have an
opinion ready for the committee by
next Tuesday, when 1t meets again.
Just why the conference committee
of the Legislative majority is so work
ed up over this matter has not been
made public, but the suspicion seems
to be gaining ground thac it hopes to
put some Edwards" legislation
across before the Governor ELECT gets
into Office and it wants in the Execu-
tive Chair for "tha, week" an cncum-
bent who IS sufficiently regular in his
status as an organization man TO stand
for the bills which may come up to
him. In this situation it is believed
the Republican legislative leaders
think Case as Acting Governor would
work moro h1rmoniously with their
program than would Mr.. Runyon, who
in the past has shown his indepen-
dcnce on various occasions.
1t is known that the Union county
man intends TO fight any attempt to
oust him for the final week of his
eneumbency before giving way TO Mr..
Edwards lie will take the position,
it is believed, that court decisions have
held that the constitutional trainers
meant for an Acting Governor in his
position to hold office until a new
governor shall be elected and quail
fed" Further the precedenl5 III the
past are all toward his holding the
place.
Senator Case says that he is not
pressing the point, but that it should
be cleared up whether as Senate
President he succeeds for the week or
Mr.. Runyon continues to serve.
That the Republicans are planning
to enact some laws to take the power
of appointments in some cases away
from the incoming Governor is grow
ing. Yesterday a member OF the con-
ference committee made the signifi-
cant remark that the majority might
relieve Mr.. Edwards of having a lot
of applicants for few places to mn"
The Republicans are unusually Sc
cretive this year on their Legislative
program and after the weekly confer
ence of the committee of Senate and
House members which has tn s mat
ter in charge yesterday, they de-
clared that nothing would be an
nouoed probably until after Christ
mas, when they report back to the
conference OF the entire majority
membership. Some of the committee
admitted that there is considerable
divergence of opin on as to what
course should be-pursued on different
questions. One of the most perplex-
ing is known to be that of the SOL
dier's bonus.
