Before Congress 40 Years.

Bills providing for nationwide prohl-
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 first
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 it in 1886 to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Congressman Hobson of Alabama in
trOduced the famous "HObsOn resolu
ton" in the house December 10, 1918.
The resolution came to a vote Decem-
ber %, 1914, but received only 1877
votes, while 25S were necessary for its
adoption.
There Is a 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 a court order has been
secured restraining Governor Stephens
temporarily from signing the ratitica-
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. it is declared, all action taken
by the state legislatures may be sub
mitted to the people under u referen-
DUN.
Attorneys for the liquor interests
claim that there are many points on
which the amendment may be attacked
in the courts and plans have been
made, it is declared. for action along
these lines.

INSANE MAN Is
FOUND ROAMING
IN BERRY PATCH

There's a man who looks and
acts awful funny, out in the goose
berry patch eating berries" said
an excited farmer about six miles
northeast of Aledo, over the tele-
phone to Deputy Sheriff Daryl
Fleming.
Deputy Fleming waited TO hear
no more but sped countryward TO
investigate. He found the stranger
alright, attired in blue overalls, a
blue work shirt and a soft crush
hat. He appeared to be about 30
years old and he was eating Der
ries. He was acting queerly.
Nothing intelligent could be
elected When questioned, he
prattled about his home in Aledo,
in Rock Island, in heaven and in
Watertown.
After. bringing him to this city
and considering the matter Deputy
Fleming decided it was the latter
place and after communicating
with the hospital the stranger was
conducted there by ]. J. Sailing,
special deputy, yesterday after
noon. The man had no means of
Identification about his person and
seemed unable to tell his name.

squeeze and that developed in cash
corn. No. 2 mixed corn is around

900 corn acreages decrease in the

Inmates of this character lack the
proper number of crop reporters.
The bulls expect small corn re-
ceipts. An inquiry into the rise OIL
cash corn might be interesting. By
four months of success the corn
bulls have become confident to an
extreme Longs in lard have sold
out probably because of the excess
profit atmosphere that the public
demand is a trifle but for six
months the corn primary receipts
have been only SO to so per cent of

Buying demand at opening was
somewhat slow.
Commission houses bought corn
on early dip.
Broomhall says more complaints
of drought in western Europe. Eng

plying a lot of stocks lately and
some high people have lost some of
theirs which they wish they rad
back. The man who can guess the
next turn in this market would be
truly endowed with occult powers.
The tension is very great in pro-
fessional circles because of the un
certainty of the signing of the
peace treaty.
was mainly due to pool operations
and we think owing to fact that
many speculative issues will show
some profit to original buyers, ad-
vantage should be taken of the re-
covery to sell some of the higaly
speculative issues and substitute
them for U. S. Steel which in ou1
opinion will resume leadership be-
fore long.
1t is unlikely that Germany's de-
cision will play much part in the
market. Signature might give us d
rise but l believe that
like the armistice it would be roll
lowed by a fuller appreciation of
problems thereby entailed upon US.

himself to the standard stocks.
