PROHIBITION.

he prohibition amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States was rati-
fled with a celebrity which was somewhat
surprising, when we recall the fact that
many of the ratifyng States have hither-
TO manifested a decided and majority
preference for license or something
worse We fear that it NAV be some
time before making prohibition a part of
our constitutional law will make the
United States dry nation. We here in
Maine have learned that the enforce
ment of prohibitory law is more diff
cult than its passa &C. The prohibitory
amendment recently ratified makes no
provision for its enforcement and If is
suggested that this explains why the
Legislatures Of many States which have
regarded booze with considerable favor,
have without hesitation voted for the
amendment. In regard to enforc ement
the amendment as ratified says: ''The
Congress and the several States shall
have concurrent power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation The
reader will notice that the resolution
does not say shall enforce but says "shall
have concurrent power to enforce "
Now let us understand clearly what that
word concurrent" means in connection

with Legislative proceedings. 1t means
actual and complete agreement. Is it
within the realm of possibility that the
National Senate and House and the Sen
ates and Houses of 48 States will ever
actually and completely agree upon the
enforcement of the prohibltory law?
Maine might concur with Iowa and some
other States, but we cannot hope that all
the States will agree with each other
and with Congress as to the strlngency
and method of enforcement. Every
temperate man and woman, every mod
crate drinker and every lnebrlate knows
that intoxicants are curse to the hu-
manitv of the world, but this knowledge
has not yet crystalzed into an irresistible
force. Congress and the several States
shall have concurrent power to enforce
this article" This implies that Congress
shall take the initiative and leave the
concurrence to the States, Ideas are so
at variance in regard to enforcement
that it is to be regretted that the resolu-
tion did not require that Congress should
enact adequate and appropriate laws lot
the enforcement of this article, instead
of proposing something which at least
appears Ike an impossibility. The ratl-

A GREAT Loan
LOOKS SMALLER
The Five Billions at $50 Apiece
Should Be Compared With
What the Kaiser Wanted.

Preparations are already making for
the Fifth Liberty Loan, which the peo-
pie Of the United States will be asked
to make toward the world war 1t will
come in the spring probably some
time early in April.
The total amount will probably be
somewhere near the size Of the Fourth
Loan. A five billion dollar total looks
b large, but 1t does not look as large
as 1t did in 1917 to people 100000 900
strong who have learned to save and
lend to the government.
When this Loan looks insignificant
and puny, even if 1t is put on top of
all the loans which preceded it, Is
when it is compared side by side with
the billions Germany would have de-
manded of America If the Kaiser had
won the war
This is the way to compare the two
possible endings of the war. Put one
beside the other, the two chances of
paying for the cost of the world war
which the people of this country had
before them one year ago.
The United States has come into
victory and peace One of the great
est forces it employed to win victory
was the great fund which the people
put into its hands to fight for civiliza-
ton.
But the Government has not yet
financed the needs of the last chapter
Of effort Three months hence it will
ask for a loan with which to accom-
plish this work 1t will call in the
Fifth Loan for money to pay the ex-
penses of peace and reconstruction.
The men and women Of the country
who must furnish the funds for the
Fifth Loan are doubly blessed. They
have at the same time the liberty
won by the war and the bonds of the
Government taken in other loans, They
know now that they can never be
made to contribute to any Kaiser. And
there are 100,000.0lO of them in all.
What the VICTORIOUS FIFTH Loan
proposes is that this 100,000,000 people
shall lend the Government about $50
apiece.
This does not seem large amount
from each person. 1t is not large
sum to lend at substantial interest
on unequalled security, for the final
settlement in the war.
Each one knows that 1t is a Loan,
that it is not payment to the Kaiser
but Loan for Liberty

Will quote verbatim from an address by
Mir. Wilson delivered to the Worlds
SaiesmanShip Congress, Detroit, July 10,
1910. AS reported il the wonderful book
entitled ''fhe Wit and Wisdom of Wood
-ow Wilson" he SAID eff [ wanted to
change the law radically l would not

business methods radically | would not
consult man who made conspicuous
success by using the present methods
that wanted to change Not because |
would dlstrust these men, but because |
would know that they would not change
their mind overnight; that they would
nave to 60 through long process of re-
acquaintance with the circumstances of
the time before they would be converted
to my point of view" If we rightly
understand the above, when Mr.. Wilson
wanted to do anything he would consult
with somebody who knew nothing what
ever about what would be a possible. a
practical or a wise method of procedure.
Somebody who would be easily convert
ed to his own point of view because he
could advance no reasons why he, Mr..
Wilson, should not have his own way
about it. We understand now why BurIe-
son, Garfield, House and several others
were selected to sit in high places.

OVER THERE.

The business of concluding treaty of
peace has been sidetracked and is likely
to remain so for some time. The right
of way has been given to the League of
Nations. England, France, Italy, Japan
and the United States have delegated
themselves to be a committee of the
whole to determine, or at least to state
what the purposes and requirements of
league membership shall be. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Wilson explained his con-
ception of League of Nations to be that
it should act as moral force, or light of
truth, which should be directed toward
any nation which acted wrongly. On
this point a prominent German followed
The Republican journal., 1919-02-06
PEACE is DELAYED.

More than year ago President Wilson
proposed that league OF nations should
be formed to enforce peace. Doubtless
MIR. Wilson's initial thought was that
after treaty of peace had been signed
there should be some power, somewhere,
strong enough to make pertidious Ger
manv fulfill it's conditions as time passed.
Many of the nations which had declared
war against Germany gave quite unani-
mons approval to what Mr.. Wilson had
proposed. There were, however, great
many conservative and some very wise
people in the United States, who feared
the possible ultimate effect of an entan-
clement in foreign affairs which might
sometime lead to serious if not disastrous
results, and at the very least would lead
to the maintenance of standing army in
Europe for several years. When the
representatives of 26 nations went to
France the announced purpose of their
mission was to determine and dictate
terms of peace to the Central Powers,
and especially to the Germans, pledging
them by treaty to future good behavior
and good faith, and to make reparation
for the devastation and havoc of the war
which they had forced upon the Allies.
We think all delegates of the nations
represented at the peace conference, ex-
cept those from England and the United
States, believed that the first thing to be
considered would be the terms of peace,
and that the means by which peace was
to be enforced, if broken by Germany or
any other nation, would be considered
later. The delegates had not been long
in France before the wise ones became
aware that the first thing which must be
by which peace could be enforced upon
the nations represented at the conference
and, until that was done, peace with Ger
many must be secondary consideration.
This is what England, the United States,
France and Italy are now trying to do.
Japan is nominally acting with these ma
tions, but that country is not interested
vitality in a league of nations and sees no
reason why she should assist in govern
ing Europe. If the information which
comes to US is to be relied upon dissen-
sions are rife over there, new dissensions
are manifested every day and very little
progress is being made toward an endur-
ing peace The formation of league OF
nations is now put forward into first
place as a means of enforcing peace upon
both friends and foes wherever they may
be. We have no doubt league will be
formed and that President Wilson anc
Col. House will make the United States {
member of the league without consulting
Congress- We hope, however, that Eng

show credentials authorizing them to DE-
