was mandatory, changing the method
Of electing senators. The eighteenth
amendment is decidedly mandatory or
prohibitory. Were it not for the in
terposition of the wartime prohibition
act, taking effect July next, there
might be q serious question, in the
absence of constitutional provision on
the subject, as to just when it takes
effect. 1t is disclosed that although
thirty-eight states have now ratified
only fourteen have notified the Secre-
tary of State to that effect. Missis-
sippi's notice has not yet reached the
State Department, though it was the
first to record its approval, more than
a year ago. Only within the state is
there power to compel announcement.
Obviously there must be some form of
procedure. As soon as the requisite
numbe of notifications have been re-
eeived the State Department will pro-
claim, and it is to be expected that
in this instance, the amendment carry
ing time limit. the proclamation will
announce the date on which it became
part of the Constitution, and the ex-
pectation of those concerned is that
that date will be January Is, 1919.

Increasing Labor Congestion.

In his statement before the House
immigration committee yesterday See
rotary Frank Morrison of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor predicted
that with the rehabilitation of the
Army bread lines would be formed in
every industrial center of this country
by the LIST of May, after which date it
is hoped building work will develop
to the point of caring for some of the
unemployed Mr.. Morrison was argu-
ing for the enactment of legislation
prohibiting immigration for a period
of four years, to permit the stabilizing
of industrial conditions in this coun-
try.
Estimates of the unemployed were
given totaling 266,5o0 in nineteen
/. cities. Whether this surplus of work
ers is due to a too rapid demobiliza
tion of the Army or a too rapid diminu-
ton of concentrated war industries is
not now indicated. Probably it is due
to both causes Obviously if men are
released from military to civilian life
more speedily than the industries can
adjust to receive them there will be
D congestion in the labor market, and
securing at the season of greatest
slackness distress is almost certain to
result unless emergency remedies are
provided.
Cessation of hostilities came so I'M
expectedly that no time was afforded
Tor provision for peace adjustment.
Had there been more warning large
works might have been ordered by the
government, to be Immediately under
taken, to absorb the surplus labor. AT
present, however, nothing has been
done to that end and the whole bur
den Of providing employment is thrown
upon private capital. The government
Is undertaking to distribute the labor
supply, but it cannot in the absence
Of legislation for extraordinary i'm
pfoyements guarantee any jobs to idle
men.
The need to restore industrial equi-
ibrium speedily calls for prompt ac-
lion by the government in settling
the war contracts which were inter
fnpted by the cessation of hosti1ities.
Immense sums Of money are now tied
up in virtually idle establishments,
Icreated or transformed in the war
temefgeney to supply the necessities of
swAf. Until these contracts are adjust
ed hundreds Of mills and factories viii
f4nain idle and men win be kept out
Of work. IF legislation is needed to
clear up these cases it should be
promptly enacted.

William H. Taft.

Mr.. Taft figures in the speculation
about 1920, and in some quarters there
is expectation that he will again lead
his -'arty. 4 genial man, he has many
friends.
1t is often said of him that he is
the best loser in the history of Ameri-
can politics The reference, of course,
is to the spirit he manifested III 1912,
when in his campaign for reelection
he carried only two small states. He
accepted the result with smile, said
no bitter word about his fate or any
body, and when the time came retired
from office with perfect composure.
But maybe too great stress has been
laid on that one quality. Mr.. Taft is
very much more than a sunny-temper-
ed man good natuted in adversely. He
is that, all right But he is likewise a
man of capacity, resolution and of
many resources. While in the White
House he gave evidence of strength
and leadership, and accomplished some
excellent things.
Few believe that Mr.. Taft was tried
on his merits i'll his second race. A
difference between himself and Mr..
Roosevelt had occurred, which had
brought the latter into the field against
him and divided the party. This made
the campaign one. of personalities
rather than of principles; and in the
turmoil the record of the Taft admin
istration was obscured.
The two men, as is weh known, in
time came together again, renewed
their old friendship, and in 1916 CO.
operated in the effort to make Charles
E. Hughes President.
Mr.. Taft did not lose interest in
politics when he quilted the White
House and associated himself with
Yale University as . lecturer on law.
On the contrary, he has had his say
about men and measures, and since
America entered the war has been ae-
tive in the governments service. In
this way he has remained in the pic
,ure, and received attention and much
praise.
Educated for the bar, and with 3
strong inclination for the bench, Mr..
Taft was lured from the bench into
politics, and in the political field has
found himself much at home. He is
a good speaker and good mixer. He
stands by his friends. Whether he
would care to try his fortunes again
in the national field is not known. Cur
rent gossip about him comes from men
who supported him for reelection, and
still think his administration should
have been Endorsed at the polls.

result Of the skip stop arrangements
or perhaps because he has learned to
dread the corners--it is the duty Of
the motorist to safeguard him by keep
ing his machine always under control.
Most accidents result from people
taking unnecessary chances. trying to
drive into small spaces, trying to cut
around corners quickly, trying to get
ahead of other traffic, or trying to
cross streets at intersections ahead OF
some one else. To save two minutes
in fifteen minute run means taking
chances at every corner and on every
block. The wonder is that more lives
are not sacrificed to speed as long as
this disposition prevails on the part
of many drivers of machines.

Accidents Caused by Carelessness.

Accidents" declares Maj. Pullman
in a bulletin issued for the guidance
of the police, "do not happen; they
are caused by carelessness."
Proof of this is found in the fact
that yesterday not a single person was
hurt in the streets of this city by the
traffic, though there was no slackening
of the vehicle currents Drivers of
cars and motormen we're more careful,
possibly as a result of greater vigil
lance on the part of the police, per-
haps in consequence of the published
statements of the shocking prevalence
of reckless driving in this city.
In every traffic accident there is
some one to blame. It may be the
pedestrian, or it may be the driver.
One or the other is at fault But it
must always be remembered that the
driver is in position Of advantage.
He has nothing to fear from the Pc
destrian. All he fears is some other
driver, who may injure him or his
vehicle.
Practical carefulness consists in
recognizing that however thoughtless
the pedestrian may be the real respon-
sibility for avoiding accidents rests
upon the man in the motor or wagon.
He can stop his vehicle quickly. He
can give warning. He can obey rules
at crossings. Even if the pedestrian
becomes careless and attempts to cross

The Date of Federal Prohibition.

although the eighteenth amendment to
the Constitution providing for federal
prohibition received the necessary num-
her of state approvals through legis-
slative action yesterday, on the 10th of
January, it is contended by some that
il will not take effect on the corre-
spending day year hence, but that
the year of grace provided by it will
not expire until year after the date
of proclamation by the Secretary of
State. On the other hand, it is assert
ed that the amendment becomes part
of the Constitution on the day Of the
ratification by the thirty-sixth state.
There is no provision in the Consti-
tuition covering this point. 1t simply
provides the method by which the in
strument can be changed, by single
amendments submitted to the several
states or by constitutional convention
proposing amendments at large, also
to be ratified by three-fourths of the
legislatures. The first ten amend
ments were proposed to the states
by the first Congress September
%, 1889. The ratifcations by the
states were successfully communicated
by the President to Congress, the
eleventh state to ratify, Virginia, be-
ing announced December Is, 1871. The
eleventh amendment was proposed by
Congress September 5, 1894, and was
declared in a message to Congress from
the President January s, 179s. to have
been ratified by the legislatures of
three-fourths of the states. The
twelfth amendment was the first to be
proclaimed as ratified by the Secretary
of State, having been proposed De-
cember IL, 1903, and announced by
proclamation as adopted September %,
1904. All subsequent amendments have
been announced as ratified by the Sec
rotary of State.
The eighteenth amendment is the
first in which the element of time en-

Leave to Print" at Paris.

It is reported from Paris that one
Japanese and Italian representatives
at the interallied council who voted
against public sessions of the peace
conference was the apprehension that
publicity would Head to prolixity on
the part of speakers. If that is the
only reason against an open session
familiar American method might be
adopted to check the verbosity of the
peace delegates. Let them have "lcavs
to print Let the rule of the American
House of Representatives prevail.
Keep the spoken speeches within strict
time limits, with such privilege of sub
sequent publication as the conference
may be willing to grant. Then the pro-
ceedings can be kept within bounds
as to time and nobody will be denied
all the publicity he wishes. This rule
works we'll enough in the American
House. The Congressional Record is
daily proof of the freedom of I'M
uttered speech. Should the European
directors of the peace conference wish
any information on this point they can
obtain it by consulting with the Wash
ington correspondents who are present
at Paris in numbers and who have had
an extenoed experience in the report
ing of speeches that were never spoken.
