Washington Jan. Rehabilitation to-
day of the federal constitutional prohibit
ton amendment made the United States
the first great power to take legislative
action to stop the liquor traffic perma =
nently.
Nebraska's vote gave the necessary af-
firmative three-fourths majority of the
States to make the amendment submit
ted by Congress in December, 1917. It was
followed by similar action in the Legisla
lures of Missouri and Wyoming. making
in all 80 States which have approved a
dry America" Affirmative action by
some Of the state Legislatures yet to act
is predicted by prohibition advocates.
Under the terms of the amendment the
manufacture, sale and importation of in
toxicating liquors must cease one year
after ratification. but prohibition will be
a fact in every State much earlier be-
cause Of the war measure forbidding the
manufa cture and sale of alcoholic bever-
ages after June 30 until the demobiliza-
ton Of the military forces is completed.
Under the wartime measure, expectation
OF liquor is permitted, but the great stocks
now held in bonded warehouses will have
to be disposed of before the federal
amendment becomes effective.
Discussion as to whether the new
amendment becomes a part of the con-
stitution now that SO States have ratified
it, or whether it becomes a part of the
basic law only when each State has Ger.
tilted its action to the secretary of state
led to-day to a search for precedent

THE REPUBLICAN RECORD

Both political parties are in search
of issues for the presidential cam
paign of 1920.
We would recommend to the
Democrats that they rest their case,
SO far as may be possible, on the
record made by the present Repub1i-
can congress. It was chosen q year
ago; its leaders clamored for az.
extra session in order that it might
do something" The only thing it
has done has been to repeal the
tax on soda water and to reject the
peace treaty. 1t has ignored problems
OF war reconstruction; it has side
stepped the taxation question; it
has boggled with the railroad problem.
If the first Republican congress un-
der a Republican president should be
as incompetent AIS this one, the peo-
pie will be justified in voting against
such congress- Louisville Post

in which to meet, there is a delight
full park on the river bank In which
to hold outdoor sessions, and the
DEVILS Lake State park is but three

grounds in the middle west. The far
famed Dells are less than an hour
from Baraboo and there is a list of
other attractions that would keep the
visitors busy for week, in ease
they desired to sight-see before and
after the sessions. The beauty of Bara-
boo is enhanced by lakes and rivers
and hills that should appeal strongly
to bringing the 1920 gathering to
this city.
Moreover, the members of Joe Hook

AN s HOUR DAY ON THE FARM

The eight day as applied on the
farm" says j. Clyde MARQUEE in The
Country Gentleman, means wheat
at SO bushel instead of 1925; pork
at 20 cents pound instead of IA
cents; milk at 20 cents quart in
stead Of Il cents.
Careful estimates of the increased
cost of labor based on the most
recent cost figures gatherer by the
United States department of agricul-
ture show that these prices must be
maintained if the farmer is to get the
cost of production plus reasonable
profit and work on the basis of a
standard eight-hour day in all in
dustry. Farming cannot be exempter,
because economic law slowly but
surely brings farm wages to the same
level as industrial wages"
