more than a majority Of the whole
number. There are q referendum
states, IS Of which are not included
in the foregoing. In these states the
people have reserved TO themselves
the power to approve or reject AT
the polls any act Of the legislature
They must therefore be counted as
states which have not ratified. Adj
ding these states 10 the % men

OF 40 ia which the people are either
opposed to federal prohibition, or
have been denied their undoubtcd
right to pass upon it. No wonder
the proponents of this system fought
tooth and nail against letting the
people vote,
The present short period Of prohi-
bition has been a blessing in dis
guise. 1t has aroused the Ameri'
can people TO the necessity OF being
kcenly on their guard to preserve
their liberties. 1t has opened their
eyes to the INSCRIPTIONS tactics, the
falsehoods and hypocrisies Of n GER
tain irresponsible element which has
almost escaped public condemnation
because Of constant pretensc OF
morality and righteousness.
The so.called Eighteenth Amend

1T is part OF the prohibition propa

News OF Mr. Colby's selection was
received with unconcealed surprise
