ed to return an answer to this per picking inquiry. It will be, remem- bered that MT. White gained his na+ tional reputation as an observer by answering the question: Whats the matter with Kansas?"
 Texas is a citadel of democracy. Her power was pivotal in the conven- tion which nominated MT. Wilson at Baltimore. Colonel Edward M. House comes from Texas. Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson comes from Texas. Former Attorney General Gregory comes from Texas. The entire feder- al administration is colored-We al- most said weighted-with Texan blood. And yet Texas is miserable. She does not like the administration at Washington. She not only finds fault with the policies of the admin istration itself but charges that the democratic representation in the halls of federal legislation is poisoned with international socialism. She looks at the pictures of Jefferson, Jackson, Tilden and Cleveland and weeps, and then swears. Her heart goes out to these stout defenders of the doctrine of democracy and she wants it re- vived One faction seeks relief by
 
 be known as the American Party" Another faction, headed by that trained high stepping democratic war horse Joseph Bailey, formerly United States senator from that state. has adopted for it's slogan "Old Time Democrats" The fact that disSatis- faction with things as they are at Washington is common to them both will lead to their consolidation, and in that there is misery for those who still believe that @ democratic pick pocket is more to be trusted in of- flee than a republican church elder.
 We must say the South is behaving very badly during these days which are ushering in the eve of the next democratic nominating convention. Texas is not the only state below the Mason Dixon line that appears to be suffering from political indigestion. If we watch her more carefully than the others, it will be because she is already organizing in revolt

Grand Opera Out of Doors.
(NeW York World.

Estimates range from 30000 to performance of Aida" Saturday evening at Sheepshead Bay. At either figure it was demonstrated that as many people can be brought out to hear grand opera in the open as to witness d baseball game between highly popular teams. The rush to Sheepshead is not to be accounted for wholly by the details that real soldiers marched for Rhadames, that there was a real elephant in the triump ph scene and that the chorus was the largest of record.
 Saturday evenings event was in the large, one of a number of affairs of local enterprise going to show that New York has become city we'll es- tablished in appreciation / of the possibilities of it's out of doors. It's open places, it has learned, are fine as well for cultural diversions as for sports. Hence the popularity of the nights of music in the City College Stadium and of the band concerts on the green at Colum bia university Hence too thee sfreshened interest in music in the parks-an interest the Clly IaInerS Will uO well to encourage.
 It is presumably true that the day light saving device has been of use In promoting the popular apprecia- ton of out-of-door performances Under the new dispensation of sum- mer-time the after-dinner interval has become for the many period more than ever worth while, more than ever full of possibilities in help full good cheer. If nothing more had been accomplished by the act than the broadening of the love and the opportunities of the open, the setting forward of the May to- October clocks still would be justified.

Amendment is effective. We are not discussing the advisability of opening the saloons for the short time be- tween then and the first of January, though it appears to us that it will be useless for such a short time, but the possibility of longer opening be-. fore the Eighteenth Amendment may be enforced.
 Should the fight to carry ratifica- tion to the people in one-half of the states of the Union be successful and the Wartime Act be lifted the first of November we will probably see a period of wetness of a year or so. The courts will drag the case out for that length of time. Should the rati- fication be left to the people and the voters in present dry districts reverse their opinions there will be no pro- hibition. But this is doubtful We do believe that there will be a period of litigation wherein the saloon-keep- CT may profit tNebraska's decision is but a forecast of further ones of the same character. f.-te. a-e'

JAPAN DOES NOT
 WANT SHANTUNG
Officers From the Orient Declare Their Country Will Not Insist
 On Holding Peninsula.

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 19.-Captains Kamiuski and Hirisuki, Japanese army officers both of Tokio on a months tour of the United States gathering data on the manufacture of machine tools and automobile and airplane motors arrived in Cincinnati and will remain until Wednesday, when they leave for Atlanta, Ga.
 Captain Kamiuski, who was in en- agreements along the eastern front fA Russia, during the world war said in speaking of the Shantung penin-' sula clause of the peace treaty:
 "I don't believe the Japanese will insist on holding Shantung nor do I believe it should be considered as a serious question.
 Japan does not want this stretch of land for it is inhabited by"Chinese who speak another language and whose civilization is still in the mak- ing. ....
 For Japan to gain anything through the holding of Shantung would mean that we, the Japanese, must educate the Chinese in that dis trict to modern customs and ways, while we need all the time and finan- cial assistance in promoting indus tries in our nation"

THE STATUS OF PROHIBITION.

One of the first states to take a purely local action on the Houor question, Nebraska, has recently de- clded, through a district court that the ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment by the legislature of that state does not express the will of the people and that the voter, himself, is the only one who has the right to pass upon the question. A referen- dunn vote will be required in the state. II the ruling of the court is observed
 Thus the fight of the wet interests begins to take shape. From court to court, the case of the referendum will be fought, providing there is the least hope of proving that legislative action does not set the stamp of ap
 proval upon a law passed by Con- gress. Connecticut would see no such fight even if it had ratified through the legislature. It's constitution is so drawn, as we understand it, that it would be hopeless to try and prove that it was beyond the powers of the representatives to ratify. But there are numerous states in which, it is said, it will be possible to force the issue to vote of the people rather than leave it with the legislatures.
 Should it be determined that a referendum was necessary in a large number of the states the liquor in terests may be able to secure g, post ponement of the Prohibition law until such a time as a sufficient number of states had ratified through it's voters to insure the approval of Congression- al action. Referendums take time and 1t is upon this that the interests are counting
 What the outcome will be as far as the results of the referendums is concerned is not a great deal of a question. There are enough states now dry, ignoring the Wartime Pro- hibition, which have been placed in the prohibition columns by votes of the people to make the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment more or less certain, ultimately. Unless the voters who have already decided to enforce local prohibition reverse their decision on national matter there will be ratification by the voters |sthemselves.
 Advocates of the selling of alcohol in it's most attractive form are watch ing the President with a great deal of interest and conjecturing upon his release sof the Wartime Prohibition Act at an early date. Consolidation is progressing and will soon be over. The first of November has been set as the date for complete dem obiliza- ton of the army and it has been fore told that the bars would again be al- lowed to open until the Eighteenth xa-4

Population at the Fairfield County jail in this city is rapidly declining according to Sheriff Simon Pease.. At present there are only S3 prisoners; one year ago there were I'll. At that time there were 30 women inmates of the jail; now there are but two.
 Thus is another great American in dustry declining-the industry of housing people in jail and supporting them at the public expense. More of the baneful results of prohibition, of course-and the infringement of peoples personal liberty to go to jail.
