The anti-tobacco scare crow OF

Roots Claim "dOOnshinc."
Mr.. Wheeler characterizes as
moonshiue the claim Of Elihu Root
and other attorneys for the brewers
that the war prohibition enforce
mcnt code IS unconstitutional He
says.
Congress has the same power TO
enact war prohibition enforcement
code that it had 20 enact the original
law The authority TO enact the
war prohibition law rests on the
provisions in the constitution which
gives congress power TO support the
army and navy This power and
obligation extends through demob-
iizauon. The courts have so held.
Prohibit sale or Beer.
Congress evidently intended TO
prohibit all beer and wine in the
original act. 1t is now well settled
by the supreme court that if con-
gress has power to enact a aw, il
also has power 10 enact additional
legislation 10 make the original act
effective and enforceable. To define
the term Intoxicating liquor is
necessary 20 make the act enforce
able especially when courts have
defeated its purpose by construction.
If il were a permanent law we
would willingly wait for tie supreme
court to construe the definition in
the act bU. the law viii terminate
before that decision will be reached
This incident has reserved good pur-
pose in demonstrating TO congress
the necessity of defining this term
clearly for constitutional prohibit
ton. so that all may understand its
meaning We are pleased that the
brewers admit that this is legal I'M
der the eighteenth amendment.
"War prohibition and the code to
enforce it are authorized acts. Con
gress may repeal the original act or
dent may declare rehabilitation
complete when the war officially
ends This is the only legal way TO
prevent the enforcement OF the act.
The gap between the end OF war
prohibition and permanent prohibit
tiou may be closed 10y a prohibitive
tax Congress has undoubtedly
power TO enact such law"

CONDITIONS Al BREST.

General Pershing's reports on con-
ditions at Brest should go far to calm
the waves of hysteria created by the
magic wands of the sensationalists.
American officers at Brest have been
accused of violating not only army
regulations but also moral obligations
toward their mon. We have before us a
picture of the abused American SOL
der standing in the mud and rain
awaiting medical attention and food.
It has also been claimed that reign
of injustice has existed at the French
port during which no attention was
paid to the simplest comfort, ohys.-
cal or mental, of the fighters.
The War Department is in receipt
of q report from General Pcrshing,
prepared by Major-General Eli A.
Helmick, in command at Brest. So
far as the mud and rain are con-
cerned. it is admitted that conditions
are far from desirable, but even the
critics will not claim that they can
control the weather or climate. Con-
corning Injustice. General Helmicz
says that officers, with fe" exceptions,
have voluntarily expressed their
thanks for the courtesy shown them
by those i'm charge at Crest. He de-
clares that troops scheduled to sail
have not been placed at the bottom
of the list because of complaints. The
entire garrison is red within one hour
and fifteen minutes, he reports in
reference to the charge that the SOL

'ssKIP-STOP" SERVICE.

Among the war emergency econo-
mics that should be discarded as soon
as possible is the "skip-stop' arrange.
ment on the street car lines. The
adoption of this scheme was justifi-
able and advisable at the time of its
lntrodueuop as its principal purpose
waSNto husband the coal supply of the
nation through preventing unneces-
sar~ use of electricity, Its secondary
object was to reduce expenses for the
operating companies. Although there
may be argument in favor of continu
ing the Arrangement with this sec
ondary object still in view, there can
be no excuse for its maintenance on
the ground that it is still necessary
to conserve fuel. Coal is plentiful
and it has declined in cost.
The "skip-stop" method of operat-
ing cars is a nuisance and an incon-
venience. If that were all, it would
be hardly worth while agtating for
its abandonment. But in addition to
being a nuisance and an inconven-
fence, it is a hardship on the aged, the
inf1rn and women with babies in their
arms.
The riding public gladly sacrificed
it's personal comfort when there was
cause; the cause has been removed.
All side streets feed the trolley lines,
some more literally than others The
trolley company did not take into &C
count the streets which were good
Feeders but arbitrarily declared that
the cars would not stop at every alter
nate side street. This ruling was mod
| flied in cases where persons living on
| skipped streets had sufficient infu-
| ence to regain their normal service
! One OF the complains of the trolley
! company has been that patronage has
| dropped off. This situation might be
| corrected by a return to the pre-war
| arrangement of stopping at every in
| ters3cting street.

PEOPLE On ADRIATIC
CALLED UNGRATEFUL
Fire on American Sailors Ashore
on Liberty, E. ]. Markham Writes

Edward J. Markham, a New Brit
ain sailor aboard the United States
Destroyer T.ansdaIe, is not deeply i'm
pressed by the gratefuIness of the
peoples living on the fringe of the
Adriatic sea. where his vessel is sta
toned. They not only are not re-
sponsive for what the United States
has done, he writes to Rev. J. Leo
Sullivan of ST. Joseph's church, but
even attack Am erican sailors ashore
on liberty. He says he understands
collections are being taken in the
United States for these peoples and
that he is willing to contribute what
money he has saved to feed them
but the food must be delivered
from the mouth of IS calibre pistol
or a machine gun.
Markham's letter was written in
Venice on January 16 and, in part,
follows:
AT the present time we are being
held over in the Adriatic as peace
makers.
"Now that all is over, the Italians
want the lions share; and the Czecho-
