Alas, For Maryland!

Against men who are born great
and against those who achieve great
ness we may sometimes have good
grounds for protest, but even at their
worst they have a certain title to
consideration, if not to respect. But
those who have greatness thrust On
them are frequently not only them>
selves the victims of a cruel joke on
the part of fate, but are made to
turn the joke on others who have
connived at their elevation.
Maryland at the present time is
suffering in the Senate of the United
States from one Of these illustrations
of thrusted greatness in the person
of Senator France. We do not speak
from bitterness, but from a pro-
found sense of regret and humilia-
tion-regret that hitherto respec-
table and harmless citizen should
have been made the butt of mockin 6
fate in having thrust upon him a role
for which he was utterly unfitted,and
humiliation that Maryland should be
made laughing stock through one
of fortunes scurviest jests.
We have had mental nonentities
in the Senate before, WEI have had
Senators who have had greatness
thrust upon them by accident or po-
litical combinations. We have even
had one or two whose only claim TO
prominence during their terms was
their Immaculate costumes and per-
sonal pulchritude, or their skill in
preparing terrapin after the most
approved Maryland fashion. But we
have rarely had man of mediocrity
in the Senate who did not recognize
and live within his limitations. We
have no quarrel with Senator France
for accepting the greatness thrust
upon: him by circumstances, but he
adds insult to injury when he makes
an indecent intellectual exposure of
himself in the Senate at the expense
of this State. 1t is a personal mis-
fortune to be dull and mediocre; it
is public crime to make that dull
ness and mediocrity offensive.
In the last few weeks Senator
France has apparently sought to en-
phasize and advertise his smallness
and stupidity; he has seemingly de-
lighted in proclaiming the fact that
he is Me-Too to the INSCRIPTIONS

LAWYERS PREDICT
MUCH LITIGATION
QUESTION OF PROHIBITION is
LIVE TOPIC MONG ATTEND
ANTS AT MEETING.
TECHNICALITIES DISCUSSED
Some Attorneys Think That Enforce
ment of Law Hinges On the
Words "Intoxicatin9" and
"Concurrent."
New Orleans

New OIlcduo'
A long trail of litigation will follow
the attempts Of the federal govern
ment and of the several states to put
the new prohibition amendment to the
Constitution of the United States into
effect in the opinion of some OF the
leading lawyers Of the country.
This phase of the new amendment
to the national organic law was a i've
tonic among the several Of the mem
hers of the Louisiana Bar Association,
which held it's annual convention
here. While the "dry" amendment
did not come up for debate on the
floor Of the convention, it was freely
discussed by a number of the lawyers
in their private conversations.
There are two words in the national
"drv" amendment which will provoke
LITIGATION, according to the view OF
many of the leading lights Of the legal
fraternity. The new "arid' amend
ment prohibits the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors ana
gives the Congress and several states
concurrent" jurisdiction in the en-
forcement of the Constitutional man
date.
It Is in the use of the words IN
toxicating" liquors and concurrent
Jurisdiction that the trainers OF the
amendment sowed the seeds OF htlga
ton, so it is declared.
The question has arisen, what IS
Intoxicating" liquor, or, in Other
words, how much or what percentage
of alcohol must liquor contain before
it becomes intoxicating?
The Louisiana Supreme Court ma:
held that liquor containing 2 per cent
of alcohol is not Intoxicating" while
the Rhode Island Legislature ms
gone the Louisiana court two points
better and passed a law declaring ina
liquor containing 4 per cent of alec
hol is not Intoxicating"
Now, the question arises, who VII
settle this disputed point?
