Without the minimum wage law

NATION SURPRISED BY SUDDEN END OF
 FIGHT ON SALOON
Sheppard Amendment Ratified Little More Than Year
 After Submission.
War Is Given Credit for HasrenIno Adoption of ProhIbItion--cam- paign Carried on for
 Years

The country has hardly awakened get to the realization of the fact that 1t has voted itself dry. The ratffica- tion of the Sheppard amendment to the federal Constitution, prohibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicat- ing liquors, came so suddenly, after more than half a century of battle, when the cause of the Prohibitionists many times seemed almost hopeless. that even the leaders of the dry move ment have difficulty In realizing that, so far as can be foreseen now, their fight has been won.
 There has been nothing In the his tory of the prohibition movement to indicate that victory for the cause would come with such swiftness, once congress had been induced to submit the proposed amendment to a vote of the states Because of the difficulty with which changes in the federal Constitution are secured 1t was not an- ticipated that ratification could be se- cured by the necessary thirty-six states within less than two or three

years at the least Anti-prohibition leaders felt that they had won vic tory when they placed provision in the Sheppard resolution providing that 1t would be imperative if not ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states within seven years.
 The Sheppard prohibition amend ment, which has just been ratified by more than three-fourths of the states of the Union. the number required to make it effective, becomes the eight eenth amendment to the Constitution. The resolution providing for it's sub mission to the state legislatures, intro duced by Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, was finally adopted by congress December IS. 1917. On January Is, 1919, less than thirteen months after the adoption of the resolution by con- gress, ratification of the amendment by the states was accomplished. No other proposed amendment to the Con- ststution has been adopted with such speed, with the exception of that which provided for the abolition of slavery. Action on the seventeen other amendments that have been adopted has required from nine to forty-three months
 The war is given the credit for has, tening the adoption of prohibition in this country. The economic aspect of the question was emphasized by the war emergency, and the handwriting on the wall was seen when congress passed law providing for nation wide prohibition as 2 war measure, to become effective July l, 1919. and to continue until the armies of the Unit ed States have been demobilized. If this law goes into effect, as contem- plated. the country will go dry July 1, although the constitutional amend ment will not become effective until one year after its ratification by the required number of state legislatures.
 Text of Amendment.
 The text of the resolution embody- ing the amendment which has now been adopted is as follows:
 JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTI- TUITION OF THE UNITED STATES.
 Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of tho United States of America in congress assembled, two-thirds of each house concurring therein, that the following amend ment to the Constitution be, and here by Is, proposed to the states to be- come valid as part of the Constitu- ton when ratified by the legislatures of the. several states as provided by the Constitution:

 Mississippi was the first state to ratify the amendment, both senate and house acting on January 8, 1918. Vir- ginia, Kentucky and South Carolina took similar action during the same month and North Dakota soon fol- lowed, but in most states action was delayed until this year, when the vari-

 It Is pointed out, however, that the federal constitution itself does not contemplate any state action on amendments except by the legislature, and action by the legislature, even in states with referendum laws, has here tofore been deemed final.

DSiOiS NOn9fSSS TO ISdFSs
 Bills providing for nationwide prohi- bitlon by legislation and resolutions proposing constitutional amendments for the same purpose have been before congress almost continually for more than 40 years. Senator H. w. Blair of New Hampshire proposed the first amendment in 1876. This provided only for the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of spirituous distilled liquors for beverage purposes. He introduced similar measure nine times, chang ing it in 1886 to include all alcoholic liquors.
 Congressman Hobson of Alabama in- troduced the famous "Hobson resolu- tion" in the house December 19. 1913. The resolution came to vote Decsm- Der 9, 1914, but received only 197 votes, while 25S were necessary for its adoption.
 There is probability that antiprohi- bition forces will attempt to secure an annulment of the ratification vote in several states and will attack the le- gality of the action of congress. In San Francisco a court order has been secured restraining Governor Stephens temporarily from signing the ratifica- ton of the amendment. It has been stated that similar action may be taken in other states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Missouri and Nebraska. In these states, 1t is declared, all action taken by the state legislatures may be sub mitted to the people under a referen- dunn.
 Attorneys for the liquor interests claim that there are many points on which the amendment may be attacked in the courts and plans have been made, 1t is declared, for action along l these lines.
