AN UNSETTLED QUESTION.

The pending Prohibition Amendment
to the Federal Constitution was submitted
to the State by a resolution which had
a two-thlrds vote o. quorum of both
branches Of Congress but lacked a two
thirds vote of the whole membership of
one OF those branches. Did this meet the
constitutional requirement that such a
resolution must have the vote Of two
thirds Of both Houses"
United States Judge Hollister at Gin
cinnati decides that it did, and 50 dis
misses suit to enIoln the governor from
submitting the amendment to the Ohio
Legislature. Such decision was to be
expected as being in line with the common
and accepted rule concerning the passage
Of other legislation and resolves This
is that the majority or two-thIrdS. as the
case may be, Of quorum and not OF the
whole membership Of the Houses will pass
bill or overcome a veto.
Nevertheless, nice question and q
shade OF doubt remain that have never
been finally disposed Of Resolutions in
amendment Of the Constitution are wholly
apart from ordinary legislation, as is the
election Of President by the House when
the Electoral College fails to elect. But
it is now part of the Constitution itself,
by early amendment, that a majority
of all the States, and not merely of a
quorum OF States, is necessary to elect.
The people Of Ohio are TO be commended
for their determination TO carry the ques-
ton to the highest court.-New York

INTERNED RMANS.

The request of the German government
transmitted 10 the armisticc commission
at Spa. for the liberation of all interned
Germans raises questions not only of
military expediency but of domestic policy.
In this country the utmost consideration
has been shown TO enemy ahens, and only
those considered actually dangerous to
the United States have been interned
30 liberal has the government been that
there has been a great deal of dlssatis-
faction with its handling of this matter.
Already there is a emand that some of
the aliens now under confinement shall
he deported. If this course is to be adopt
ed new legislation may be necessary, and
it should be enacted before the individuals
il will affect are set free. Should the
government decide, on the other hand,
once dangerous persons, they should not
be thrown on their own resources possibly
TO become the cause of disorder
1t viii not help an alien to have it known
that he was regarded as a dangerous
enemy during the period Of tive hoSiill-
ties The liberated men will surely find
many difficulties In their paths here for
a long time to come What their lot woul
be in Germany il Is now impossible 10
tell. but it is we'll known that many men
and women of German antecedents who
two years ago were proclaiTning their
intention to make Germany their home
after the war now talk in another fashion.
The future of the interned enemy aliens
Is not to be decided otfhand, but for their
good and our good must have careful
study.-New York sun.

PRESS COMMENT.
WAY TO PEACE.

There is one rule laid down in the Holy
Scriptures which il observed will assure
lasting peace. II all men will do unto
Others as they would have others do unto
them, that would give assurance Of peace.
II the employer might ordinar 1y put
himself in the place of his employee and
act accordingly, he would not be guilty
of unfair or unjust treatmnt. On the
other hand, if the employee should ask
himself what he would do were he in the
place of the employer, that would be
promotive of peace.
Taking another view Of the situation,
If it is the purpose of the American people
or of any part of them to preach peace to
the rest of the world, the beginning should
be here at home. Ii we have not peace
here at home, why should we presume we
can help in the preservation of peace in
the rest of the world
Let us teach the lesson of peace through
righteous example. 1t has been pre-
dicted that as result Of the war America
is going to be better America. IL has
been predicted that we will be a more
united people than ever before. We are
that now, the war brought us to that.
1t is through unity and the cultivation
Of the virtues of fairness and justice that
will give us strength in the effort to abolish
war and promote general peace. KNOX

Not a Promising Outlook

Special dispatches TO Every Evening,
today, probably will reveal the full situa-
ton at Dover, in respect Of the organiza-
ton of the Legislature, but the outlook
eariv tins morning was not promising
In the Senate deadlock over the selection
Of President pro TEN was under way,
and threats were madcof a similar condi-
tion in the House
As was intimated by Every Evening,
the hOldlng-over members OF the State
Senate resented the innovation proposed
BY the New Dispensation TO bestow the
position of President pro TEN on new
member. The vote in caucus was a tie
between Senator | Dolphus Short Of Mil
ford, the choice Of the New Dispensation,
and Senator Ira ". Long of Millsboro,
holding-over member, each receiving
six votes In the House, dry opposition
20 the caucus selection of Representative
Danzenbaker for speaker is threatened.
II Is hoped the threatened deadlock
may be averted during the way. There
is wor to do, and time IS too valuable
70 be frittered away in senseless factional
Or personal quarrels.

IT. wAS due to his own carelessness IN
adjusting his mask and not TO the nask 3
vulnerability. But one of the incest
features Of this work Ia that these masks
are just what workers in American
chemical industries have needed all these
years to protect them from the deadly
chemical fumes let loose in the factories
In developing poisonous gases, several
important chemical discoveries were also
made which cannot be published at this
time, but which, it is claimed, will be
of great value 10 American industries.
Another var development that is
proving Of pence value is tho lnven-
ton Of American breathing apparatus
for miners, worked out by the bureau
Of Mines. When the War Department
started sending mining regiments to
France, it discovered that the United
States had been in the habit Of importing
such apparatus from Europe principally
from Germany. With a face mask con-
nccted To tank Of oxygen by n long
tube, q man can live two hours in an
atmosphere which, without protection,

The War Department needed such

also needed by the men who were filling
shells with poisonous gases. The Bureau
OF Mines finally worked ont American
oxygen apparatus superior TO the European
type, and this country need never again

Of its miners.
At the same time n new method Of

NEED OF SPIRITUALITY.

The good words, liberty, justice and
right, that now take up so much of speech
and thought, will not be needed in the
new era upon which we are entering, and
when it shall be far advanced. Another
word will take thicr place and embody
all the meaning of three words, separate
or combined. That word is spirituality,
without which there is no such thing as
liberty, justice or right. All the yearning
of civilization is toward the expression of
that word in human life.
Religion, education, patriotism, brother
hood, are all seeking, if they are worth
their existence, to give spirituality the
ruling prominence in their lives The
other graces or qualities of soul do not
exist without it. We try 10 get along with
religion or education alone, but we soon
discover the mistake and learn that life
without spirituality Is down hill And
what is spirituality? 1t is the spirit of
God In the heart and life, and that is what
the nation must come to or die.-Ohio
