CORN MARKET
UNSETTLED BY

mand Is Light and Arrivals
Promise to Be Heavy.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Corn ran up
in price to a moderate extent to-
day, influenced by a violent ad-
vance Of sterling exchange. De-
lnand. however. was light. and the
market soon reacted owing more
or less to liberal arrivals here.
Bears predicted that the crop
movement would increase. Open
ing prices, which ranged from NC
on to &c gain. with January
l.s4h to 1.34N, and May 1Sl% to
l.321s, were followed by a rise all
around and then by setback
to slightly below Saturday finish.
Chicago Dec. 15.-AnnouncemeDt
that war time prohibition would
stand led to some selling OF corn,
but later the strength OF barley,
oats aud other feed helped corn tc
Advance. The close was firm, &c
Tssc net higher, with January,
l.3s, and May Lea to 1.33.
Seaboard purchasing gave firm
ness to oats. After opening I'M
changed to nc higher. including
May at 7azsc to soc. the market
hardened little further and then
relaxed somewhat.
Higher quotations on hogs
strengthened provisions. Trade,
though, lacked volume.

the production for the army and
navy shall have been fully salts
fed. But there is nothing in the
words used to justify such con-
struction. Conclusion of the war
clearly did not mean cessation Of
hostilities; because the act was ap-
proved 10 days after hostilities had
ceased upon the signing of the ar
mistice. Nor may we assume that
congress intended by the phrase to
designate the date when the treaty
Of peace should be signed by Ger
man and American representatives
since by the constitution a treaty
is only a proposal until approved
by the senate. @"ss 1t was ex=
pected that the conclusion of the
war would precede the termina-
ton Of rehabilitation. Congress-,
therefore, provided that the time
when the act ceased to be operative
should be fixed by the presidents
ascertaining and proclaiming the
date when rehabilitation had ter
minated.
Two Meanings Ascribed.
ut is insisted that he has done
SO. The. contention does violence
to both the language and the EVIL
dent purpose Of the provision I.
When the president mentioned In
his veto message the 'demobilfza-
ton of the army and navy the
words. were doubtless used in a
popular sense. just as he had de-
clared to congress, on the occasion
Of the signing of the armistice.
the war thus comes to an end II
he had believed on Oct. 20, 1919,
that rehabilitation had, in an ex-
act sense. terminated, he would
doubtless have issued then a proc
lamation to that effect: for he had
manifested a strong conviction that
restriction upon the sale OF liquor
should end. Only by such procla-
nation could the purpose of con-
gress be attained; and the serious
consequences attending uncertain
ty be obyiated. But, in fact, demo-
bilization had not terminated at
the time Of the veto of the act Of
Oct. %. 1919; or at the time these
suits were begun: and, for aught
that appears 1t has not yet termin-
ated. The report Of the secretary
Of war to the president under date
Of Nov. II, 1919 land transmitted
to congress Dec. ~, in describing
the progress Of rehabilitation.
shows that during the preceding 10
days (Nov., I to 10Y 20.1QS officers
and 1926 enlisted men had been
discharged, the rate Of discharge
being substantially the same as
during the month of October-in
which $3.50 officers and $4,000 ell
listed men were DISCHARGED"

Moline and East Moline
TO COST LARGE
sum TO BETTER
river HIGHWAY
Moline Council 10 Tackle Problem
Of Improving Scenic Route
Along Mississippi.

1t will cost Moline $3.50, 900 to i'm
prove River drive. This II the CEN
trail feature of a report prepared by
Lyle Payton, city engineer, In COM
pliance with an aldermanic reso-
luton of a few weeks ago. The
Moline council will tackle the prob
lem tonight. A few weeks ago at
a council meeting the aldermen re-
quested Mayor Skinner to appoint a
River drive committee and asked
for survey from the city engineer.
The committee has not acted yet.
and it may be that the aldermen
will refer the problem to that body.
The $4,000 figure is q cough, ap-
proximate figure. Mr.. Payton's es-
innate divides the River drive prof.
ect into three parts, as follows:
concrete embankment along river,
$3.50 900: to fill in behind embank-
ment, 100000; pavement, 5000, 900.
River drive begins at Twenty
fitch street and ends at Fifty-fifth
street. Then it is up to East Mo-
line. The Moline end of the prof.
ect is more than two miles long.
Mayor Skinner, the board of local
improvements and the aldermen all
favor the River drive project. But
no one knows where the money is
coming from. Mr.. Payton's $780,
900 plan provides for spacious and
beautiful boulevards with ornamen-
tai lights, flowers and shrubbery.
The plan has been talked about for
years in Moline. The latest sug-
gestion from the Rotary club, it is
said, suggested that the boulevard
be built as a memorial to Moline
soldiers.

that such an act. passed for such a
purpose, had ceased to have force
because the power of congress no
longer continued. In view of the
facts of public knowlede, some of
which have been referred to
we are unable to conclude that the
act has ceased to be valid.
As to 18th Amendment.
Was the act repealed By the
adoption Of the 18th Nmendmen. :?
BY the express terms of the amend
ment the prohibition thereby I'M
posed becomes effective after one
year from its ratification. Ratifica-
ton was proclaimed on Jan. -,
1919. The contention is that, as the
amendment became on its adoption
an integral part Of the constitution,
its implications are as binding as
its language; that in postponing the
effective date of the prohibition, the
amendment impliedly guaranteed to
manufacturers and dealers in IN
toxicating liquors a year of grace;
and that not only was congress pro-
hibited, therefore fromf enacti1g
new prohibitory legislation but also
that the thenexisting restriction i'm
posed by the wartime prohibition
act was removed.
1.-THE 18th amendment with it's
implications, if any. is binding not
only in times Of peace, but in war
Furthermore, the amend-'
ment is binding alike upon the
United States and the individual
Did the prohibition imposed by
the act expire by limitation before
the Commandment of these suits :?
- 1t is contended both that
the war has been concluded and
that the rehabilitation has termi-
mated.
Approved After Fighting Ended.
I'm the absence of specific provi-
sions to the contrary the period of
war has been held to extend to the
ratification Of the treaty OF peace
or the proclamation of peace. From
the fact that other statutes con-
corning war activities contain each
a specific provision for determin-
ing when it shall cease to be oper-
alive, and from the alleged absence
Of such provision here, 1t Is ar
gued that the term conclusion Of
the war should not be given its Or
binary legal meaning. that instead
it should be construed as the time
when all hostilities ceased, or
when the treaty Of peace was sign
ed at Versailles. on June %. 1919.

'SQUANDERS ALL

Boy Of is Earning Good Wages
Steals 500 In Clothing When

Stanley Wilson was arraigned
before Magistrate Gustafson this
morning on charge OF stealing
nearly 500 worth of clothing ard
furnishings from a fellow roomer
at 1924 Third avenue, Moline. Stan

Magistrate Gustafson delivered a
scorching denunciation Of pool
rooms, cards and cigar stores that
permit dice shaking. Then he sent
the boy to his home in Peru, with
instructions to pay his debts and
turn over every remaining cent to
his mother. Stanley worked in
Moline for several months and the
net result of his labors was board
bill of $S3 and few personal OBJ
legations resulting from small
loans from friends. A few weeks
ago he decided to go home. His
landlord suggested that Stanley
leave his Sunday suit until the
board bill was paid. The boy
agreed.
Ashamed Of Rags-StOle.
He was ashamed to 60 home in
rags and without a nickel. He had
not saved any money and had not
sent any money to his mother and
fatherless brothers. So he entered
Alex Colquist's room and stole
nearly 500 worth Of clothing. He
was bound over to the grand jury,
but was released on his recogni-
zance. The stolen clothing was re-
turned. Stanley promised to pay
his board bill and his other debts.
1t is probable that Magistrate Gus
tafson and Assistant States Attor-
ney McEniry will recommend clen-
ency.
