Baer said A bill was introduced
in the last session to give discharged
soldiers an extra years pay, but
owing to the legislative congestion
the measure was unable to gain con-

The North Dakota congressman, in
supporting the measure for higher

Fire Destroys Barn
:. and Silo at Thomas

The large red barn and silo of
Van s. Raymond at Thomas was
completely burned down early Thurs
day morning by fire whose origin
is unknown. The blaze commenced
in the roof, and the cracking of
shingles, which flew in the air and
drifted as far as quarter of a mile,
first gave the alarm.
The fire started at about o'clock,
and before anything could be done
to check it the barn was gone. A
fortunate incident to the loss was
that number of valuable COWS,
which occupy the barn, were turned
out the night before.
The loss of barn and silo with
contents Of hay and implements is
estimated at between $1,000 and
$4,000. There was insurance on the
buildings.

 Possibilities.
 A highly interesting question of constitutional law, however, is brought up by waving the probable and con- sidering merely what is within the possibilities For instance, suppose the effect of wartime prohibition should be such that certain states would have ratified the eighteenth amendment should see fit to recall their asset to the previous ratifica- ton. Suppose that, through their usual sessions and through agitation for extra sessions to be held this fall. enough states recalled their assent to ratification to make it so that fewer than thirty-six states had finally rat flied the prohibition amendment by the time 1t was to be enforced next January. Thirty-six are required and have been obtained, but suppose such action should bring 1t about that by next January. there were only thirty states which had. not recalled their notifications.
 Not only Is there a question whethe CT the amendment would be legally rat flied, but there would be the far more important question as to whether prohibition was being enforced with the consent of the governed about which we have heard so much.
 As far as can be learned, the right of a state to recall its assent to a constitutional amendment has never been settled.
 It seems to be now a mooted ques- ton, and one that must eventually find its way to the United States Su- preme court.
 Section 8 of the eighteenth amend of the amendment, reads as follows:
 This article shall be Imperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the constitution by the legislature of the several states, as provided in the constitution, within seven years from the date of submis- sion here of the states by congress-
 No other amendmen has ever con tained a, time clause of this sort.
 Judge Henney's question was wne- ther or not this time limit might not be considered in the nature of a time trial, within such a state might rat fly and,. on reconsideration, have seven years time within which to act, a state might claim that its final action within that period would carry entire weight, and that its previous ratification had been set aside.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-09

The opinion that we have prohibit ton with us always, simply because 1t has come by way of a constitu- donal amendment. is not borne out, according to the expression of several prominent lawyers. In any case. the expression of the man on the street that 1t would take several years at least to repeal the amendment is en- urely unwarranted. Closer study of the provisions of the eighteenth amendment and the Constitution of the United States indicate that, grant ing revulsion of feeling on the H. quor question. prohibition will be the law so long only as the people fla vor It's continuance, and only so long as 1t takes for the popular will make Itself felt through the somewhat slow machinery of government.
 Granting this change of sentiment, and provided that the several unusual and unsettled points of constitution al law are decided against the lf- quor interests claims, 1t Is possible to determine the time necessary for repeal of the eighteenth amendment by reviewing the speed with which 1t came.
 How It Came
 The eighteenth amendment provld- ing for constitutional prohibition was proposed to the legislatures of the states by the Sixty-fifth Congress De- cembcr IT. 1917. and 1t was declared to have been ratified by the necessary thirty-six legislatures January 29, 1919. and one year from that date, or January 20. 1920, it will take eff feet, according to the provisions of the amendment. It required only a lit tie more than a year to change the Constitution and only about two years to turn the country from "wet" to dry"
 The repeal of the eighteenth amend ment might be proposed to the sever al states following the election of the next Congress and it's taking office March 4, 1921. If an extra session is called, as a result of popular agi- tation for a repeal, Congress should propose the repeating amendment early in 1921. If provision is made that the amendment shall not go into force until a year after the declara- ton of it's ratification, was the case with the prohibition amendment, the "wets" would again be in the sad dle by, say, early in 1922, or earlier if the one-year delay is not included.
 If an extra session is not called, and the next Congress takes no action until after It's sitting in December, 1921. the time required for appeal would be prolonged somewhat. but, under favorable circumstances, with extra legislative sessions, which is
