The Prohibition Veto.

President Wilson's veto OF the pro-
hibition enforcement bill. which tie
House promptly overruled and which
it is expected the Senate will also vete
to ignore, is based upon his objection
to a continuation of wartime prohlbl-
ton. He has sought heretofore to
obtain from Congress the repeal OF
the war -time act, whose objects, he
says, have been satisfied in the de-
mobilization of the Army and the
Navy. Congress refused to repeal
the act and in framing the prohibi-
ton enforcement law took into cog
nizance the fact that that statute re-
manned in force and, disregarding the
possibility of its annulment By e1ecu-
tive decree and the shortness ef time
for its endurance, it included in the
measures for permanent enforcement
provisions for carrying out the tenn
porary law;
In these circumstances, the veto not
being based on constitutional grounds,
the overriding of the veto would seem
to be a foregone conclusion, with so
large a majority in both houses for
the practical enforcement of prohibi-
ton. In his message to Congress sent
from Paris and read on the Goth OF
May last the President in that pas
sage in which he asked for the re-
peal of the wartime act stated: 81
am advised that without further leg
is1ation I have not the legal author
ity to remove the present restric-
tions." The situation today is the
batne as it was then, the President
still lacking the authority to remove
the restrictions. Only Congress can
do that, and Congress is unwilling.
"A question remains whether the Presi-
dent has authority to remove the re-
stfiefions sufficiently to release from
bond an immense store of liquor now
held under government prohibition in
that status. In this connection it is
interesting to note that federal
judge in Kentucky has ruled that the
wartime act violates the fifth amend
ment to the Constitution in respect
to the prohibition Of the sale or the
taking of whisky out Of bond, on the
ground that this constitutes confis-
cation of private property without just
compensation.
Having 50 emphatically refused to
grant a repeal of wartime prohibi-
ton directly or indirectly through
failure to make provision for its en-
forcement, Congress is not likely to
permit any executive action which null
lilies that act before the formal proc
lamation Of peace, which does not
seem to be near at hand. In any case,
national prohibition under the fed
eral amendment becomes effective
January Is next, or little more than
two anil a half months from now.
The only practical effect of lifting the
ban by executive decree or by failure
Of enforcement of the wartime act
would be to release for sale liquors
now held in honda considerable
store, valued at many millions of dol
lars.

Law and Order.

Yesterday GOV. COX OF On1O suspend

CATION that the latter had not exer-
cised his full official powers In deal
ing with disorders growing out Of a
steel strike in progress at that place.
A vice mayor was appointed, and the
citizens adjured by the governor to
give him loyal support.
This is time when every official,
high or low, should exert himself to
the fullest against the spirit of un-
rest and disorder now menacingly in
evidence throughout the country.
Governors, mayors, sheriffs, chiefs of
police, town marshals and all their
|subordinates should be on the alert,
and bring into action all the author
ity they possess. Evading duty, OF
half-heartedly performing duty, At
such juncture as the present cod

number. The official who passes, OF
attempts to pass, the buck new is un-
worthy Of his commission.
There can be NO question that the
mob spirit has grown in recent years
as the result of 4 neglect or refusal
on the part Of officers Of the law to
enforce the law. There il law enough
to command all the order the country
requires for the public safety and the
transaction of business.
But for one reason or another
now one reason, now another, but not
Ia good reason among the numbey-the
law has not been sufficiently enforced.
Mobs have taken prisoners from the
hands of officials and done them to
death, with pistol, knife, rope, and
now and then with the lighted torch.
Mobs have destroyed both public and
private property, with officials who
should, and might, have taken the
proper precautions looking ON help
lessV. Mobs have closed industrial
plants which had every right to opera
ton, and whose productions were es-
sential to the comfort of the people,
the members Of the mobs included.
Disorder has at last reached that
pass where, unless the law has stern
and whole-hearted enforcement, the
lawless element Of the population will
take possession and run things to suit
itself. The will of an inert majority
will be set aside and that Of an active
and aggressive minority substituted.
But the country, under the menace,
is waking up. Officials are being for
chilly reminded of their duty. Public
sentiment is demanding the recogni.
ton Of the public's rights. Those
rights are plain enough, and can b
maintained by the exercise Of the
proper vigilance and resolution. Team.

FORD GETS SIX GENTS AND COSTS
 IN TRIBUNE SUIT
Chicago Paper Must Pay That Amount for Calling Auto Manufacturer an Anarchist. '

Mt Clemens, Mich. Aug. 15.---A
 jury last night awarded Henry Ford 6 cents damages in addition to costs
 of the trial against the Chicago Tri-
 bune, for calling him an anarchist.
 Orvy Hu1ett, foreman of the jury, said
 that they took mine ballots that I can
 remember" the first one, according to
 Leonard Measel, another juror, stand
 ing to 4 in favor of awarding Mir.
 Ford some damages.
 Does the award of cents about express the feelings of the jury as to the case?" Mir. Hulett was asked. Ut just about does. That expresses
 our judgment"
 MT Ford sued for 1000, 900 damages. Attorney Alfred J. Murphy for MT. Ford said:
 The important issue in this case has been determined favorably to the plaintiff He has been vindicated. Money damage were entirely subor- dinate and were not sought by MT. Ford. He stands not only vindicated. but his attitude as an American cit izen has been justified after a trial which raised every issue against him which ingenuity and research could present. His friends are entirely sat isfied.'

They had grace before meat, and were given to chanting the Magnificent or the Miserere, as suited the time and season, ana singing a loud Te Deum after victory, and the blooder the victory the louder the Te Deum. The 'Protestants aboard sang hymns, recft- ed canticles and prayed long prayers of their own making. There were, however, among both the non-Cath
 olic and Catholic buccaneers many who were very irreverent and blas- phemous. One of the former was shot by his commander. Capt Daniels, for being irreverent at mass.
 Many of the buccaneers, tiring of the sea, became planters in their fife and founded families that are
 still high in hoor anmong the British West Indian political and social life.
 Some of them, however, carried their
 ferocity into their plantation life and
 were notably cruel to their slaves.
 Not all of these latter lived long

Hartford, Aug. 1.-The inspectors of the state motor vehicle depart ment, under Chief Inspector Werner F.
