ATHI ETES OF INSECT WORLD
Compared With the Ant, Man Cannot
Be Considered as Other Than
Puny Creature.

Ants are the athletes of the insect
world, easily carrying ten times their
own weight The ediiices they rear
by conjoint labor render the pyramids
ridiculof q, for the common wood ant
will build structures as large as
haycOck, all of mere fragments. II
others are content with small dOmiciles
it is because their needs are sufiiced,
but all alike dwell beneath their under
ground galleries and halls with the or
der and activity of a busy, well-gOv-
erned city.
No nonsense is taken In ant land
about everybody being as good and
great as everybody else. They nurse
with infinite devotion the ant babies,
putting them in the warm upper gal
leries by day and at night tucking
them up in the suggest lower cham
bers. They bring home stores Of food

who say that the little creatures do

Before CONGRESS 40 Years.

Bills providing for nationwide pronl-
bition by legislation and resolutions
proposing constitutional amendments
for the same purpose have been before
congress almost continually for more
than 40 years. Senator III. w. Blair of
New Hampshire proposed the hrst
amendment in 1876. This provided only
for the prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of spirituous distilled liquors
for beverage purposes. He introduced
q similar measure nine times, chang
ing ii in 1886 to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Congressman Hobson Of Alabama in
troduced the famous "Hobson resolu-
ton" in the house December 10, 1913.
The amendment was amended many
times by Hobson himself, finally pro-
yiding for q division Of responsibility
for the enforcement of the law be-
tween state and federal governments.
This was done to secure the support
| of certain advocates of estate rights"
| The resolution came to vote Decem-
Der 90, 1914, but received only 1877
| votes, while 25S were necessary for its
| adoption.
In 1914 Senator Works of California
introduced bill providing for the pro-
hibition of spirituous liquors, including
wine and beer, but it received little
support from prohibition leaders and
did not come to a vote.

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 court order has been
secured restraining Governor Stephens
temporarily from signing the ratifica-
ton of the amendment. 1t 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 Enact Dry Laws.
The activities of these early leaders
of the prohibition MOVEMENT gradually
brought about the enactment IT state
legislation prohibiting or regulating
the sale of liquor. Some of the early
state laws provided for local option,
which made possible local prohibition,
as in Connecticut in 1899.
In 1887 Neal Dow, alarmed by the
vast quantities of rum entering Maine
through the West Indian trade. began
his agitation for prohibition in that
state. Stringent regulation of the
liquor traffic was established in sever
al Dul lllt VI tht
prohibitory law in 1851 afforded the
first real test of prohibition. Massa
chusetts and Rhode Island in 1857
passed laws forbidding the sale OF
liquor; these laws were subsequently
repealed Massachusetts adopted loca
option by towns. Iowa passed con
stitutional amendment in 1882; it was
declared void and was superseded by
statute (1SS4). This in turn was done
away with by the famous Mulct law
which itself was modified. Severa
states rejected prohibition sought t.
be secured either through statute o
by constitutional amendment. Kan
sas adopted prohibition in 1890 and
little later openly violated the law. 5
there was spasmodic activity in mos
parts of the country toward PR
libition, but it was without plan O
cohesion. When the ratification or tn
eighteenth amendment began the situf
ton by states as to prohibition was a
