Corn and Provision,

Chicago, H., April 19.-Vanishing of wheat supplies lifted the corn market today to new high records for the season. Closing quotations were nervous at 1 1-2 to 2 1-2c net advance with May 1.6l and July 1.55 IA to 155 1-2. Oats gained 1c to 1 5-8c. The finish in provisions ranged from 5c decline to rise of 25c.
 Withdrawal of the food admins tration from the market as a seller of wheat after having disposed of nearly all of the government surplus in Chicago and Milwaukee was taken as evidence that the scarcity had be- come more acute, especially as re- ports were current that large amount of wheat and other grain would be shipped without delay, south as well as cast for export.
 Oats like corn ascended to the highest prices yet this season.
 Provisions were higher with grain and hogs.

WHY RATlFY THE
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT?
A National Evil Requires National
Remedy.

Quite a lot of people who know
drinking is a bad habit and that the
licensed saloon is really an evil think
that it is a community matter to be
settled by local option. The Congress
of the United States does not think so.
This body has put it squarely up to
the legislatures of the various states
TO ratify or turn down an Amendment
to the Constitution, prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants
for beverage purposes.
In view of the fact it is interesting
to see why such action is logical.
First-The liquor interests are or
ganized nationally and the only thing
that can effectively put them out of
business is national prohibition. Ma
tional organization must be met by
national measures.
Second--It is the only way to close
the entire 100000 places now open for
tect our people from their perniciQus
results. Can Philadelphia be sober
with the open saloon in Camden, or
vice versa?
Third-National enactment would
lift the economic and social burden
Of caring for an army of detectives,
drunkards, paupers and criminals
which the licensed saloon always car
ries in its wake.
Fourth-NatiOnal amendment is the
only way to secure the absolute en-
forcement Of prohibitory laws in city,
county or state. Under our present
system, wet states supply dry terri
tory with liquor and thus defeat the
wishes and votes of the inhabitants.
Fifth-The equalization Of taxation
among the states and the people de-
mands that the entire country be SUBJ
iect to the same law. Excise taxes are
important items and they are paid
now by the wet states which form less
than half the Union. The only way
to readiust the tax burden is for all
the states to be dry
Sixth-National Prohibition will re-
move from our national politics the
evil influences which for years the
liquor traffic has eXerted, and it will
be possible to choose public officials
and settle questions of public inter-
est on their own merits.

LABOR SHORTAGE THREATENS
PRODUCTION
The Fertilizer Industry Hard Hin by
the War.

The supply of fertilizer for 1919
spring sown crops is threatened by
shortage of labor in the fertilizer fac
tories. This fact Is of particularly Sc
rious Import to the potato farmers of
the country, for the great potato sec
lions are coming more and more to de-
pend on fertilizer for the economical
production of this crop. Thus 1t hap
pens that the very factor which pre-
vents factories running to full capac-
ity also has effect in preventing farm
ers from using their own depleted farm
labor supply to best advantage. Labor
cannot be used to advantage on those
fields which can give but half crop.
The fertilizer industry is normally
a seasonal industry. About the first
of February the factories are normally
in full blast, producing fertilizer for
use on spring crops. Then they Idle
down" again for a period of several
months in late spring and early sum
mer. This requires a large floating
supply of labor, a supply which has
largely been eaten up by demands of
the shipyards and munftion factories.
Transferring the industry from a
seasonal basis to full II months op-
Grating basis will certainly be econom-
ical of labor. The factories can then
work at somewhat diminished daily
capacity for more weeks In the year,
and in this way get out the necessary
tonnage. 1t can't be done at once,
however. because factories do not have
storage space enough to allow of this.
Goods must be shipped out almost as
fast as they are made-so that the
greatest possible output by the re-
stricted supply of labor may be as
sured.
If fertilizer users the country over
will order early through accustomed
channels, and agree to take the goods
from the car on arrival, much may be
done to help insure sufficient supply
for next springs business. Early Or
dering, however means NOW.

The public. health service reports
that the number of consumptives who
seek a cure In change of climate is
steadily increasing. but that the af-
dicted are showing better judgment
than used to be the case. Time was
when a man stricken with the white
plague would wait till the last min
ute. and then go to Colorado or New
Mexico, with hardly enough money to
pay weeks board after arrival, look
ing to the climate to work miracle.
Things are better now, but even yet Is
per cent Of all deaths from tubercu-
losts In some health resorts take place
within 30 days after the patient ar
nves. Modern medical science has
proved that, while climate is of great
value In treating tuberculosis, 1t Is by
no means the sole factor, says Chlca-
go Journal. Other things being equal,
a moderately high altitude and dry.
sunshlny weather will give the best
possible results. If patient has to
choose between home and boarding
house in Colorado, however the
chances are strong that he had much
better stay at home.

WORLD SAFE
FOR DEMOCRACY
4 Good Anti Saloon Slogan.

Prohibition has received distinguish
ed attention as war measure. We
found ia connection with our conser-
walton campaigns for food and fuel
that breweries, distilleries and sa-
looms were prolific sources of waste,
so we legislated against them as a
war measure. Now we begin to won
der why we should restore the right
to waste these always essential com
modties and make it more difficult
for our people to be supplied with
them at reasonable price. 1t strikes
some of us that 1t is ordinary com
mon sense to protect our democracy in
peace as we'll as In war.
We seemed to find out also that
alcoholic beverages injured our SOL
diers, so we created dry zones around
them and made laws against the sale
of intoxicants to men In uniform.
Now that war Is over we seriously
wonder whether men who are not SOL
diers don't need protection, and that
if whisky is bad for men In uniform,
1t is no better for them when they re-
sumo citizens garb.
A war that was carried on to make
the world safe for democracy found
Prohibition essential to its success.
1t is a tacit admission that we ordin-
arily don't take the best care we know
of our democracy, which means our
people, If we permit the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants for beverages
to be resumed A few people have for
many years had vision of our posi-
bilities as a sober nation. The neces-
stiles of war have extended the vision
until Constitutional Prohibition for the
Nation has become an issue of fore
most political importance. The ques-
ton can be forever settled and settled
according to the dictates of common
sense, proved experience, and the best
ideals of citizenship by individual
judgment is to write to your Repre-
sentatives in tine State legislature and
let them know how you feel about it.

view of the bravery shown and service
rendered there can be no doubt of
his loyalty to the United States as
his home country. We cannot turn
lightly away from the claims OF race
whose members have paid "the Inst
full measure of devotion" side by side
with their white brothers.
R. R. Wright, distinguished negro
writer. claims tina tie I'eace Com,
ence ought to provide for an indie
pendent section Of Africa under ne
gro dominion. He points out the fact
that the nations of Europe have par.
titioned most of Africa among them
and that the avowed policy of Presi-
dent Wilson to abolish "a balance Of
power held by great nations and ex-
tend protection to small and weak
countries in Europe, should be extend
ed TO Africa, the native abode of the
negro.
Whether Mr.. Wrights statement is
practical or not, we common people
do not know. 1t at least seems as II
the share of the negro race in winning
the war should entitle the earnest
feeling of a representative and intel
ligen negro to consideration.
