Fight on Prohibition

1t seems that prohibition has not
been entirely won in this country,
as the liquor men are to make all
kinds of fight against the plans for
putting the law into effect and its
enforcement The constitutionality
of the law will be tested in very
rigid manner. Some of the ablest
and shrewdest legal lights in the
United States will 90 through the
courts arguing that the three fourths
clause never was intended to apply
to state control of inherent individ-
ual rights, ana on this premise they
hope to gain a decision in their
favor, They plan to have the mat
ter tested our in the Supreme
Curtis before the expiration of the
required year after prohibition was
ratified by the thirty SIX states and
before the country is finally placed
ON a prohibition basis. No industry
of the tremendous scope of the dis
tilleries will consent to 90 out of
existence without struggle, and
therefore it may be assumed that
all legal points will be contested il
the courts, both for the purpose of
winning an ultimate victoryPas well
as postponing the question as long
as possible in order to secure bust
ness pending final adjucation of the
law. In reality it is up TO the
courts to determine after all wheth
er we are have prohibition or not.
and as the decisions of courts are
always uncertain, there is posi-
BILE chance that the much advocat-
ed prohibition law will not 90 into
effect year hence after all How
ever, most students Of political
affairs think the liquor men have
lost the battle and that the legal
fights to be waged during the next
year will not change conditions in
the least.-Fayette Advertiser.

 at first came to the conclusion they had been dead at least ten hours. As Mir. Heffernan had not seen them or entered their room in that time, this seemed plausible, but a. desire to learn more about the victims led to a search of neighborhood haunts, and finally to the saloon that was con- ducted by the late Danny Walker who was killed by Louis Bonjon in a fracas some time ago. There Dr. Keegan met & man who said that both Fitzgibbons and O'Neil had left the place, apparently sober, at 11:30 last night, saying they were going home to bed
 The room in which the men met death was a small hall bed room and
 the windows were tightly cosed. The door was not locked and MT. Hefer- nan found no trouble in entering when he detected the odor of gas.
 In the case of NorTno1ie, Mrs. Duffy. keeper of the rooming house, discov- cred him at o'clock this morning, when she passed his door which was wide open, and detected the odor of gas. The Emergency hospital was called, and pr. John 4. Maxwell re- spending, found the man dead, and the gas jet turned on full. This , house Is also equipped with 9 quarter meter. Dr. Maxwell in making his investigation found no odor of gas in the room, but an examination prov ed the man had died of asphyxiation.

 If the war just ended was fought only for the purpose of breaking down one form of miutarism in order to es- tafbhsh more permanently another form of mihtarisn, the war will not have brought about the end for which the people fought and bled and sac rificed: and war and a continuance of war, instead of peace and permanent peace, will be the necessary outcome
 of the settlement which falls to ap- ply the doctrine of sef-deterInination to all those who seek to be free.''
