The Public raises the timely question
whether the constitution is constitutional.
We have enacted prohibition amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States in the manner required by law
1t is now a part of our supreme law Of
the land.
No court has any jurisdiction over Il.
The only thing the Supreme Court or any
other court can do and must do is to
obey it,
The only way to get rid OF II is to repeal
1t, as we enacted il.
These are facts. hard and stubborn rs
brickbats.
Yet an eminent attorney for the liquor
interests proposes Ito test its constitution.
atty We wish him much Joy.
The liquor men have done almost every
thing, and they might as well 90 ahead and
prove the constitution unconstitutional.
The Public observes:
Our understanding of the Prohibition
Amendment is that it is now part of the
constitution. Just how the constitution
itself can be unconstitutional is beyond us.
However, whisky can work wonders. Il
appears for one thing TO have made the
referendum respectable. When whisky was
king 1t fought the referendum, bribed
legislatures fought common councils. and
stuffed the ballot box. 1t fought anything
that savored of self-government. It was
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1919-09-08

largely because of the corrupt influence Of
the brewers and distiers that the Prohi-
bition Amendment became a part of the
constitution. Now these same liquor in
terests who fought the initiative and refer
endum are about TO use it in an attempt TO
nullify the Prohibition Amendment.
Their theory OF law in this case is as
childish as ii was in the other. Their
reasoning is as follows: Forty-five states
have ratified the Amendment. Thirty-six
are necessary. II 10 can be changed there
will be only 35 left, less than three-fourths.
The amendment will then be nullified. This
is a very plausible theory. 1t overlooks
just one thing. The amendment is no longer
pending. II Is part Of the constitution.
Any change in the amendment is a change
in the constitution"
Some newspapers are tearing their shirts
Just now over the tyrannical corrupt, and
bulldozing tactics of the Anti-Saloon League
Since the year One or thereabouts. whisky
has been corrupting legislatures, sandbag-
ging judges and wounding the body polite
as industriously as it has ruined individuals,
and those late apostles of Personal Liberty
had no word to say If now in their new
found devotion to the Common Good they
can upset the constitution they will be going
some. But it looks like dying spasm of
enraged impotence.
Still, as Mr.. Dooley says. "On with the
dance, let JOY be unrefined."
