American Legion Action

One of the most powerful actions
taken at the recent national I've
ton of the American Legion at Min
neapolis was it's adoption of resolu-
tons declaring most vigorously against
any and all attempts to preach sedi-
ton, anachy or anti-American disrup-
ton of any sort in this nation.
Those resolutions, of course, went
through with unanimous acclaim and
very naturally are the expression of
each and every American Legion post
in existence.
Anti-American agitation need not
expect to find the slightest tolerance
of itself on part of the American Le-
gion. That organizations straight
from-the-shoulder declarations against
anti-American radicalism of any sort
voice the organizations determination
ever to be the powerful bulwark it is
in aiding in the protection of the re-
public, its government and all Ameri-
can principles.

Jersey Will Continue Wet

New Jersey has a long stretch of
~seacoast. The Atlantic sweeps
it continuously. To that extent part
of New Jersey is as wet as the Allan
tic ocean.-Edward l. Edwards.
And in the balance of the State are
bubbling springs, singing rivulets and
purling brooks. Then there are blue
crystal lakes and noble rivers, to say
nothing of thousands of deep wells,
from which the "old oaken buckets
rise dripping with coldness' to
quench the thirst of New Jerseys
sons and daughters.
New Jersey will remain wet under
Prohibition, even after her apple-jack
stills and sinking breweries have be-
come a noxious memory.-American
Issue.

Wartime Prohibition Constitutional

w -
The armistice was signed November
II, 1918. Congress passed on No
vember q, 1918, an act to stop the
sale of distilled spirituous liquors for
beverage purposes after June 30,
1919, to conserve the man-power and
increase efficiency in the production
of war material.
The Kentucy Distilleries Company
brought suit in the U. S. Supreme
Court October 10, 1919, on the plea
that the war time prohibition law was
unconstitutional. On December 18th,
the Court unanimously declared thru
Justice Louis Brandeis, that legally
the law still existed until the Peace
Treaty is approved by the U. S.
Senate and the President declared the
war is at an end. Conclusion of the
war" clearly did not mean cessation of
hostilities, because the act was ap-
proved ten days after hostilities had
ceased upon the signing of the armis-
tee. The 18th amendment adopting
national prohibition, proclaimed Janu-
airy 20, 1919, to take effect January
29, 1920, is binding alike upon the
United States and the individual
States.
This is the Court of final resort, so
the legal door is locked to manufacture
and sell Intoxicating liquors as a
beverage. :,
Those who hoped for a wet spell
before January 20, 1920, may blame
the U. S. Senators who have refused
to approve the treaty. Your own
Senators are Joseph S. Frelinghuysen
and Walter E. Edge. Put the blame
where it belongs. These are your men
to kick.

Women Always Ruled

Madame Clemenceau Jacquesmaire,
daughter Of George Clemenceau, Pre-
mier of France, is touring the United
States, lecturing on the Soul of
France, trying to counterfeit certain
impressions our soldiers may have
brought back as to French life of the
common people and peasants of
France. When asked about woman's
suffrage, said: "Why all this talk
about votes. Women have always
ruled in history-and without votes"

EBERT RULE IS
MENACED BY
REDS GAINS
SpartaCanS, Determined to
Isolate Berlin From South

trate Large Forces.
BY United Press:

BY United Press:
BERNE. March 1.-The German
government today faced the most
serious situation since the first rev
olution With the new Spartacan up
rising now developing in all parts
of the country dispatches indicated
that further success of the radicals
in the central districts might render
the government virtually powerless.
The Spartacans, apparently dete:-
mined above everything else 10 iso-
late Berlin from southern Germany,
were concentrating large forces IN
the central district for the purpose
of preventing the movement of gov
ernment troops southwark. Weimar
had already been cut off from the
rest Of the country. If the revolu
ton triumphs in the south. the ma
tional assembly may fall. Some dis
patches indicated that at least por-
tion of the cabinet had succeeded In
reaching Berlin.
The presence of a great body of
loyal troops i'm the capital has so
far prevented a renewal Of January
riots. Strikes however, are reported
to have resulted in reducing Berlins
electrical supply to minimum.
Leaders Apprehensive.
Prest Ebert and Chancellor
Scheidemann are said TO be growing
apprehensive. but so far have fail
ed to agree on remedial measures.
The former is understood 10 favor a
compromise.
Two-thirds Of the workmen in
Saxony, Thuringia and Franconia,
are reported TO be striking. Fearing
that the railway strike would not
completely paralyze traffic between
Berlin and Weimar IS reported 20
have led the Spartacans TO tear up
long stretches of the rails.
Refusal Of DIR. Muehlon, former
secretary of Krupps to constitute a
new ministry. is said to have in
creased the political confusion in
Bavaria. Muehlon returned TO Swift
zerland and Bavaria is said TO be
practically without a government.
The military commander at Munich
is said to have forbidden all public
meetings, but is understood TO have
been ignored by the Spartacans. The
central council also refused 10 rec
ognize his authority.
