The education of young girls should
prepare them for the greatest work in
the world-wifehood and motherhood,
and l wish they could all have courses
in home-nursing, domestic science and
kindergarten training.
My training as a Kindergarten
taught me many things, among them
keeping strictly to a schedule; so my
baby was fed, bathed and put to bed
regularly. Habit is formed early in
life, and can help to make or mar
character, depending on whether
habits are good or bad. This carry
ing out of regular schedule was
not always easy, for it meant sacri-
flee of many pleasures. But l wanted
to be a good mother first of all, and
l was rewarded by having happy,
good baby. Even now at six years
old there is no fuss at nap time or
bedtime. One of the things taught un-
consciously in the kindergarten is reg
ularity and promptness, and these can
be taught in the home just as well.
Long before baby could talk she
knew the little play for the fingers,
Here's a ball for baby"
Here's ball for Baby, =

A COLOSSAL
OPPORTUNITY

To express what the coming
of National Prohibition will
mean to Maine. TO the country
and to the world is beyond the
power of the human tongue to
tell or the human mind to esti-
mate. 1t is a colossal oppor-
tunity to eradicate an age-long
curse which we have long been
taught could not be cured but
must be endured. The length
and breadth and height of the
blessing which may come to hu-
manity through the lifting of
this blighting scourgc no human
brain can comprehend. A CO.
lossal opportunity. but it is
only an opportunity. No state
knows better than Maine how
helpless a thing is an unused
constitutional amendment. No
enactment. statutory or consti-
tutional, is self-enforcing and
we have learned in Maine by
bitter experience that the forces
of evil may control or regulate,
if you please, for long periods
the whole legal system of a
Prohibition state in dealing
with the liquor traffic.-Civic
League Record.

MICHIGAN A. S. L. WILL
FIGHT POLICE REMOVAL

The Detroit Free Press announces
that any attempt to take the state
constabulary away from the Ohio line
where the state troopers have been
assisting the county authorities in en-
forcing the Prohibition law will be
opposed by the State Anti-Saloon
League. Superintendent Hudson of
the Michigan League is quoted in the
Free Press as saying;
The work of the constabulary
has been highly pleasing to those
who believe in strict law enforce
ment and has been very disgust
ing to those who countenance the
work of the professional boot
logger. Since the constabulary
went to the counties bordering
the Ohio line they have conhs-
Gated a million dollars worth of
liquor and have brought many
violators to justice. Law-abiding
citizens have nothing to fear from
either the county officers or state
constabulary. Those who run in
liquor are naturally opposed to
them.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1919-02-14

Our greatest danger iii any lies in
the enforcement of the Prohibition
amendment to the Constitution, which,
like prairie fire, seems to have swept
through the various Legislatures with
lightning speed. :.
Hence, under boot and spur. the
several Legislatures have, without due
consideration or discussion OF any
kind, been threatened, cajoled and
bribed into passing the supposed Pro-
hibition amendment to our Constitu-
tion-more as huge joke-rushing it
through with a whoop to rid them
selves OF the anti-saloon pests. e.
The people OF the United States are
awakening and realizing the awful
nightmare that is before them. They
are rushing TO arms and coming to the
assistance OF you who arc in the trade.
whose business is about to be confs
Gated without ono cent of compensa-
ton.
The newly-formed Association OPP
posed to National Prohibition" is the
greatest gathering center for all true
lovers of American independence, and
of which this Association is a part.
Protests have been prepared. the lead
ing lawyers OF the country engaged,
and a close investigation OF the pro-
posed Prohibition amendment to the
Constitution OF the United States has
been made. The crudeness of its
wording, the conflict OF power that it
creates. the doubtful methods en-
ploycd to secure It's illegal passage
have all been closely scrutinizcd by
those most competent to judge and
their decision agrees with hundreds OF
other legal authorities. who all pro-
nounce the amendment to be as iull OF
holes as eve and will be so de-
bclared by The Supreme Court OF the
United States.

PARTNERS

y Chicago man was recently sent TO
the peniteniary for raising $750000 by
forgery. An official OF the United
States Revenue Department in charge
OF income tax collections in news
paper interview announced that he
would compel the forgcr to pay an in
come tax OF the amount OF money he
had embezzled. "But would not the
acceptance by the government OF any
part OF the stolen money legalize the
method of obtaining it," the revenue
officer was asked NO, ! don't think
it would was the reply. "Thc rev.
enue law authorizes us to collect on
all income OF whatever source and
fails to specify whether or not the
source must be legal"
Now, we may expect the forgers.
gamblers and law-breakers OF various
kinds to claim that their methods OF
securing money are legal, because a
government official insists that they
give the government a part OF the
profits. In making this claim, crooks
of every kind will have the precedent
