The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1919-01-31

New York srare and, in consequence,
the nation. ,rhe Prohibitionists polled
the surprisingly large vote Of 150,626.
That the Republicans credited them
with giving victory to the Democrats
was proved by the fact that in more
than a hundred cities st. John was
burned in efiigy.
The Prohibition convention Of 1896
split the party over woman suffrage
and money. The "free silver minor
ity formed a Liberal party, with Bent
ley Of Nebraska and Southgate of
Illinois as its standard-bearers. They
polled about 1900 votes.
The feature of the Prohibition cam
paign of 1900 was a tour of the eoun-
try by the candidates and corps OF

Civil war as lieutenant colonel of the
14Sd regiment of Illinois volunteers
and later served two terms as COVER
nor of Kansas. He was a Republican,
but his party thought him too warm a
friend of the prohibitionists and he
was defeated for reelection in 1882.
Accepting the Prohibition nomination,
he went into the campaign with all
his vigor and delivered stirring
speeches all over the country, espe-
cially paying attention to New York
state. where the fight between James
q. Blaine and Grover Cleveland had
made things very warm. St John was
out to beat the Republicans, and ne
succeeded, for the Prohibition vote
was large enough to let Cleveland WIN

womans college, where she developed
the system of lf-government that has
been widely copied.
In 1874 the National Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union was formed at
Cleveland, o., and Frances Willard
found her life work. She served for
FIVE years as corresponding secretary
and then became president. In 1888
she founded the Worlds w. G. 7. o.,
which grew to have branches in 90
countries, and in 1888 she became its
president. She wrote many temper
ance pamphlets and was the author of
four books. In the minds of women
and of most men-the world over
Frances Willard and w. @. I. Q. are
synonymous.
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1919-01-31

Carrie Nation broke into the lime
light in the fall of 1900 and made her
name a household word in newspaper
offices and most American homes. She
was Mrs. David Nation of Medicine
Lodge, Kan, and a. member in good
and regular standing of the w. G. T.
U. 1t is said that her first husband
died of delirium tremens. Anyway,
Carrie Nation had another and more
apparent incentive to use her Ratchet
on saloon furniture. And WELD that
Ratchet she did; it's fame temporarily
eclipsed that of the Father of His
Country.
Carrie Nations Little Ratchet.
Kansas was legally a prohibition
state. As a matter of fact prohibition
was but name and the saloons of the
state were wide open. The general
plan was to fine saloon S25 a month
for breaking the law; that solved the
license difficulty. In short, prohibition
in Kansas had broken down complete
ly in the ten years it had been nomi-
nally in force and the state authori-
ties had not the courage either to
modify the law or enforce it. Carrie
Nation took the situation into her own
hands.
Carrie Nation first visited Kiowa
and broke up two saloons with her lit
tie Ratchet. Then she went to Wichi-
ia and broke up two more. She was
put in Jail, kept there for several days

Before Congress 40 Years.

Before Congress 40 Years.
Bills providing for nationwide prohf-
bition by legislation and resolutions
proposing constitutional amendments
for the same purpose have been before
congress almost continually for more
than 40 years. Senator HI. w. Blair of
New Hampshire proposed the first
amendment in 1875. This provided only
for the prohibition of the manufacture
and sale OF, spirituous distilled liquors
for beverage purposes. He introduced
a similar measure nine times, chang
ing it in 1886 to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Congressman Hobson Of Alabama in
trodueed the famous "Hobson resolu-
ton" in the house December 10, 1913.
The amendment was amended many
times by Hobson himself, finally pro-
viding for division of responsibility
for the enforcement Of the law be-
tween state and federal governments.
This was done to secure the support
of certain advocates of Estate rights"
The resolution came to vote Decem-
Der %, 1914, but received only 1877
votes, while 258 were necessary for its
adoption.
In 1914 Senator Works of California
introduced a bill providing for the pro-
hibition of spirituous liquors, including
wine and beer, but it received little
support from prohibition leaders and
did not come to a vote.
May Go to Courts.
There is a probability that antiprohi-
bition forces will attempt to secure an
annuIment of the ratification vote in
several states and will attack the le-
/ gality of the action of congress. In
| San Francisco a court order has been
secured restraining Governor Stephens
| temporarily from signing the ratitica-
ton of the amendment. 1t has been
stated that similar action may be taken
in other states, including Arkansas,
Colorado, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah Washington,
Missouri and Nebraska. In these
states, it is declared, all action taken
by the state legislatures may be sub
mitted to the people under referen'
dunn.
The Anti-Saloon league contends
that this is impossible, outlining its
position in the following statement:
article v of the federal Constitu
ton provides that the legislature OF
state convention is the only body
which can ratify an amendment to tbs
Constitution. Congress is given thu
power to say which one shall have th'
authority. Congress had chosen th'
state legislatures as the bodies to rati
fly the federal prohibition amendment
A state referendum therefore would b.
, illegal and void
Attorneys for the liquor Interest,"
claim that there are many points oil
which the amendment may be attacke'
in the courts and plans have beel
i made, it is declared, for action alonl
: these lines.
