special wartime prohibition recently
enacted by congress goes into effect.
That law prevents the manufacture
and sale of tntoxicants for beverage
purposes and remains in force until
the rehabilitation of the nations war
armies Is completed. Doubtless that
emergency wartime measure will be
effective over the several months that
will elapse after July1 until the con-
stitutional bone dry act, now adopted,
becomes effective.
Additional Dry Legislation.
During the year following ratiflca-
ton congress and the several states
will be called upon to pass legislation
to enforce the amendment and to pro-
vide penalties for violations. 1t is
probable large force of agents I'M
der the direction of the commissioner
OF internal revenue will have to be ap-
pointed to enforce the law. Each state
will have to provide machinery for
the enforcement of the law in addi-
ton to the machinery provided by the
federal government.
1t is likely this additional legislation
will be pushed through as fast as the
days can push 1t. In some parts of
the country. at least they purpose to
take. full advantage of their victory.
For example, in Illinois a forecast
of the Anti-Saloon league is this: In
addition to the search and seizure
act an act rigidly restricting the han
ding of liquor for medicinal, manu-
featuring, sacramento and scientific
purposes; legislation covering doctors
prescriptions, which must be issued
by a bona fide physician in writing,
dated, diagnosing the illness and the
purpose of It's use; all railroad rec
ords Of liquor shipments must be
kept; drastic legislation regulating
sale by druggists, with heavy penalty
for violation
The drys presumably will not con-
tine their efforts to enforcing the law.
They will doubtless take the question
into politics of all kinds and make it
an issue. They announce. for instance,
In Chicago that they will ask all can
didates for mayor to declare them
selves on the strict enforcement of
dry legislation. They win make it an
issue in the spring campaign and will
oppose any aldermanic candidate who
does not toe the mark

war. We saw what the enforced So
lk<iety of military service did physical
EH, mentally and morally for young
men who had INDUCED Ia liquor In

Some of cur allies got into the war
in hurry because they had to-Bel-
,aium and France TO save their lives
Great Britain to save it's national hon
or. America took it's time-a long time
land gradually worked itself up to
the determination to fight. Doubtless
much consideration of prohibition was
a part of this slow process. So that
when the opportunity came the states
of the Union went over the top just
about as the American marines and
doughboys did in the Argonne.
Text of Amendment.
Following is the. full text of the pro
hibition amendment on which state
legislatures are voting:
JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING
AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTI-
TUITION OF THE UNITED STATES.
Resolved by the senate and house
of representatives of the United
States of America, in congress assem-
bled two-thirds of each house concur
ring therein, that the following amend
ment to the Constitution be. and here
by is. proposed to the states to be
come valid as part of the Constitu-
tion when ratified by the legislatures
Of the several states as provided by
The Constitution:
Section AFTER one year from the
ratification of this article the manu-
facture, sale or transportation of in
toxicating liquors within. the impor-
tation thereof into, or the expectation
thereof from the United States and
all territory subject to the jurisdiction
fhereof for beverage purposes is here
~ prohibited.
Section 2-The congress and the
several states have concurrent DOW
er to enforce this article by appropri-
ate legislation.
Section 3-This article shall be in
operative unless it shall have been
ratified as an amendment to the Con
stitution by the legislatures Of the sew
eral states as provided in the Consti-
tuition within seven years from the
date of the submission hereof to the
states by the congress.

on the floor, where it was found the
next day, much the worse for wear.
Anyway, Miss Willard took her
grievance to the Prohibition party.
The Prohibition party offered the
nomination for president to st. John,
with William Daniel of Maryland for
vice president. st. John accepted the
nomination. He was an effective
speaker and campaigner and he went
out after blood-and especially Re
publican blood. He carried the war
into New York, considered a doubt
ful' state In the exciting struggle Of
that campaign between james G,
Blaine and Grover Cleveland.
st. John jumped the Prohibition vote
from 10,366 votes to 150,626 votes.
What is more, he polled enough yotes
in New York to defeat the 'Plumeu
Knight" in that state ana, as il
turned out, in the nation. The feel
ing of the time is indicated By the
fact that st. John was burned ir
efigy in more than 100 cities.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1919-01-23

The United States of America has
entered upon the tremendous social ex-
pertinent of national prohibition of
the manufacture. sale and use of aico-
holic drinks. There will be abundant
time to give the experiment fair test
since the prohibition is by constitu-
tional amendment. To all appearances
this mandate by the American people
against the use of alcohol is intended
to be absolute and final. We have
written it into organic law-into mag
ma cilarta-in the form of the eight
zenith amendment to the Constitution
Of the United States.
The experiment is tremendous de-
parture from previous tendencies of
the American people. We are an indi-
vidualistic pc pie. with strong sense
of personal liberty. Yet here we have
set o1t to regulate PEI -onal habit, not
by statute, but by constitutional
amendment.
And the manner Of the passing Of
this constitutional amendment is quite
as remarkable as the amendment itself.
Action on the seventeen previous
amendments to the Constitution has
taken between nine months and forty
three months, an average Of about two
years. The resolution providing for
this eighteenth amendment was passed
by congress December II, 1917. On
January 10, 1919, its ratification by
the states is accomplished.
What has brought about this ratif-
cation so quickly? Obviously the Ma
tional Prohibition party has had prac-
tically nothing to. do with its accom-
plishment. The. answer evidently is
that the war has brought it about.
Prohibition is both an economic ques-
ton and q moral question. The war
set the American people to looking al
prohibition from both viewpoints. We
got accustomed to the thought that
grain was better eaten as food than
swallowed as liquor, inasmuch as we
were told that food would win the

plars, an order of total abstainers Or
gained in 1851 at Utica, N. Y, We're
also working to this end.
The call for the Chicago convention
originated May 20, 1869, in the grand
lodge Of the Good Templars at Oswe-
go, N. Y, which appinted a committee
to convene a national gathering to
organize a political party favorable to
prohibition legislation. This commit
tee consisted Of John Russell, Detroit,
Mich; Daniel wilkins, Bloomington,
ILL.,. j. A. Spencer, Cleveland, o.; John
N. Stearns, New York, and James
Black, Lancaster Pa. At this conven-
ton the party was organized, a plat
form was adopted and a national com
mittee was appointed, with John Rus
sell chairman.
The first national nominating con-
vention assembled In Columbus, o., on
Washington's birthday, 1872. 1t
named James Black for president and
John Russell for vice president. Black
was one of the founders Of the Ma
tional Temperance Society and Pub
ncation house, an organizer Of the IA
nous Ocean Grove IN. j. Camp
Meeting association and prominent
Good Templar. Upon his death In
1893 he left his Temperance library"
Of 100 volumes to the National Tenn
perance society. Russell, the "Bather
Of the Prohibition party" was Meth
odist minister and leading Good
Templar. His newspaper, ethe PENN
sular Herald, was the first to advocate
the formation Of separate political
party for prohibition.
Notwithstanding the worthiness Of
the cause and the candidates, the pub
lie support at the election of 1872 was
not enthusiastic. The total of the
votes received by Black and Russell
was but 5,607.
In 1876 Green Clay Smith of Ken
lucky and Gideon T. Stewart Of Ohio
were the candidates. They polled
9,737 votes. In 1880 Neal Dow Of
Maine, with II. A. Thompson of Ohio
as running mate, appealed to the
country. General Dow was widely
known as the author Of the Maine pro
hibition law, but he succeeded in get
ting only 1896 votes.
Candidates and Their Vote.
The Prohibition convention Of 1896
split the party over woman suffrage
and money. The free silver" minor
ity formed Liberal party, with Bent
ley of Nebraska and Southgate Of
Illinois as its standard-bearers. They
poIled about 1900 votes.
The feature of the Prohibition cam
paign of 1900 was a tour Of the coun-
try by the candidates and corps of
speakers by special train. In 1912
the Prohibition convention renom-
mated the candidates of 1908 The
candidates since 1884 and their vote
are as follows:
1888 Clinton B. Fisk, New Jersey,
and J. A. Brooks, Missouri, 249,945
votes.
1892, John Bidwell, California, and
J. b. Cranfill, Texas, 270,710 votes.
1896 Joshua lowering, Maryland,
and Hale johnson, Illinois, 1S0,753
votes.
1900, John G. Woolley. Illinois, and
Fl. B. Metcalf, Rhode Island, 2o9,469
votes.

Eighteenth Amendment Has Never
Been Favored by Leaders Because
of Odds of 10 to I Against
Its Passage.

! The National Prohibition party N
just fifty years old, it's ssmi-centennial
falling on September 1, 1919. II was
born in Farwell hall, Chicago. The
convention numbered about 500 per-
sons from 10 states
The formation of the party was
probably first discussed In public at
Pennsylvania state temperance con-
vention in 1867. Temperance leaders
had failed to get much considerat ton
from the Republican and Democratic
parties and were feeling the need of
independent action. The Good Tenn
