WILL STRICTLY ENFORCE NEW
PROHIBITION LAW.
More Than One-Half of One Per Cent
Of Alcohol to be Held Intoxicating.
BY Smell Smith

Washington, April 17.-Preparation.
for the strict enforcement Of the
amendment to the constitution which.
prohibits the manufacture or sale
of intoxicating liquors will be made
at the extra session of Congress and
enacted into law so as to become
effective next January.
Representative Andrew ]. Bolstead,-
of Minnesota, the new chairman Of
the House Judiciary Committee, which
will initiate the legislation, declares
that the first thing Congress should
do is to determine what would be
termed intoxicating. The regulation.
of the Commissioners of Internal
Revenue that any drink is such
which contains more than one-half
of one per cent Of alcohol will prob
ably be adopted.
The new amendment should be
either enforced or repealed" he said
to your correspondent. 1T is now q
part Of the law OF the land and
rhould therefore be carried out to
the letter. Attempts to evade it cause
disrespect for our institutions. / am
not in favor Of forcible searches and
seizures of wet goods which may
have been purchased by individuals
before the new regulation became
effective. because the provision APP
plies only to manufacture and sale;
but for the rest / think there b.
and will be found adequate meaas
OF very strictly enforcing prohibition
in every community in the country"
I'm this much OF the old machinery
of the government for the prevention
of Illicit liquor manufacture, such
as that Of the moonshiners, should
be used. This is the Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue of the Treasury De-
partment. Its inspectors are trained
in ferreting out evasions of the gov
eminent. The states also have means
at their disposal. Licenses will no.
longer be issued and the separate
can prevent sale
without them. Eyaders should be,
tried by jury and convicted. They
should be prevented by Injunction
from again committing the offense.
will be effectually stop

will be effective until six months
after the declaration Of peace, but.
In any event, will become subordi-

ment and the statute for its enforce

evasion, just as there are crimes de-
spite the laws against them, / be-
lieve even opponents Of the amend
ments respect it az part of our
law. And it will be much more,

ride the national law than the state
officials who might sympathize."

CHAMBERLAIN ATTACKS MUS

BY SMELL SMITH.


Washington, April Further ex-
coriation Of Secretary Of War Baker
for upholding thefsystem Of military
injustice during his administra-
ton has been voiced by Senator
Chamberlain, OF Oregon, Democratic
chairman Of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs during the war. and
his statement is accompanied by
facts.
I'VE owe it to our American SOL
diers who have fought this fight"
said he, ITO see to it that justice
and not injustice is melted out of them
by the authorities in Washington,
and with Gods help ] shall contin-
ue to do what / can 10 see to it that
justice IS done them. 1t is certain
ly not pleasant to criticise, but when
we entered this war forgot that l
was Democrat and remembered
only that was an American. / have,
when saw wrong done, pointed
out that wrong, and / shall continue
to do so as long as wrongs are per-
sisted in. This matter of military
injustice is not a personal contro-
versy between the Secretary Of
War ana myself, and it should not
be matter Vt controversy between
Col. Ansell and Gen. Crowder.
Let me tell you what it is about.
In substance the articles Of war pro-
vide that the Judge Advocate Cen
eral shall have th power to raodi-
eral shall have the findings of & srts-
martial. It is my view and that OF
Col Ansell that this is the purport
or the regulations. On the other
hand, the view of Mr.. Baker and
Gan. Crowder is that they have no
power to do what the law expressly
gives them power % do. This is a
strange construction of the lSw. In
q Il life law is a Law. but in military
life some people seem to think 1t ID
INST the other way.
HT1nre are men in our army who
LOOK upon an enlisted man cs a mere
pieca Of flesh, aid not as a human
being with feelings and with ri yhts
that should be protected THIS mo
ment I have in mind the cases Of
Two boys who were absent without
leave for five days. and one Of them
was given fifteen years and the other
twenty-five years by the court that
had tried them. A poor boy in Sar
Francisco, volunteered. was absent q
few hous, was given FIVE years. es-
capped. was recaptured and then was
given ten years The American peo-
pie are not going to permit the Amer
lean Army to be Prussianized in any
such way as this. The letters thai
are coming to ME are heartrendine

All persons know that today the
Democratic party of the South, is
determined to show in all possible
ways its utter disregard of the SER
vices OF the Colored soldier in the
late foreign war. On this question
there is no difference of opinion
