will flourish for awhile. but soon the habit of doing without will become es- tablished and some of the present gen. eration will live to say they are glad it is gone Our hope for the benefit to be reaped is with the future genera iitns. With education along temper ance as our state school laws require to be taught by every teacher the young wila grow up to know that "al- cohol is a poison and with our con scientious physicians at the helm. "al- cohol, as a medicine" wifi soon be- come a thing of the past. We, grand parents, will have a difficult time to make the future bows and girls under stand what a saloon is or was. and why we. fought so hard to put the business but of commission.
 The hope of the liquor forces now is that with incessant liquor propaganda, through the press and money spent in every election, they will educate and in fluence the legislatures to annul the law and so bring back the reign of lawless- ness. We can see the pressing need of watchfulness on our part and faithful ness on the part of parents and teachers to offset this propaganda with ceaseless teaching of the evil of alcohol when used as a beverage.
 It has been suggested that a copy of the eighteenth amendment be read from ever pulpit with talks by the ministers upon the necessity for it's enforcement one Sunday in the month at least.
 And now what we find so good for our own country we hope to share with those who have been bound with the same iron chains. The Women's Christian Tember- ance Union and the Anti-Saioon League are< already maturing plans for lively campaigns in England and other coun- tries What a grand thanksgiving day 1t will be when we can sing All around the world the ribbon white is twined, all around the world the glorious light has shined" And now we will bring this to an end with copy of the eighteenth amendment. which went into effect Jan uary 16 1920:
 Section l. After one year from the ratification of this article the manu- facture. sale or transuortation- of in . toxicating liquors within the importa ton thereof into or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to zthe jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
 Sec 9 The Congress ana the sew eral states shall have concurrent pow CT to enforce this article hv appropriate legislation.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Greatest Year in History-fs2c

The Greatest Year in History-t92O To the Editor of the Age-Herald: Ring out the old ring in the newp'. We can readily and truly apply this quo tation to this. the most momentous year. in moral sense, in the history of the United States. for on January 1e at mid night, was ushered in a new era, for our great country hoisted stainless flag over saioonless nation while hosannas rose from many threats in an effort to voice with the peals of the church bells the happiness of a victorious and trium- phant people over the curse of the liquor traffic.
 Is it dead? Oh. no. not yet, as long as they can find men who are willing to barter their consciences for filthy lucre they will fight to reinstate themselves in the country but their efforts will not succeed for our nation is more and more awakening to the fact that if we hope to exist as nation we must put away for all time the worst curse in the world. strong drink that which steals away a mans senses, honor, self-respect and loyalty to his wife, home and children.
 Now may we all make up our minds to be law-abiding citizens and do every thing we can by precept and example to urge the enforcement of the prohibition law. It is to be the work of such or ganizations as the Woman's Chri. tian Temperance Union, the Anti-Saloon League and all church societies, as well as the ministers themselves, to teach re- spect for the law and to create a senti- ment among the young and old, the for eigner that is within our gates a whole some desire to be loyal American citizens During the war we all learned much in regard to loyalty and disloyalty. An of- fense against the flag meant severe punishment, for the flag stood for our country and was to be treated with re- spect and we honor it today as we never did before-it was at the head of our armies as they marched victoriously on the battfefronts across the seas; it hung from many homes, floating with the gen. tie breezes, encouraging the dwellers- within and the passers by to remember their duty to our boys lover there" as well a circumspect attitude in speech towards the new laws that were invoked by the urgency of war.
 That was loyalty to our country, we were called patriotic citizens then, and are we now to forget our training giv- en us at that time and encourage, by our indifference. loose respect for our great law now written in the na- tional constitution and over which waves the folds of 'Old Glory proud ser than ever before in it's existence? For now she no longer is the scorn of those who used to see her nsed as the sign of brewery or saloon. In the early fight. in Jefferson county, for prohibition the writer remembers well how distressed she was to see the forces of evil Haunting the flag or it's colors. as much as to say We are pro tected by the flag" t> last she has thrown off the shackles! Why not re- joice that We are the, first country in the world to be able to free itself from the liouor traffic?
