BE AMERICANS
FIRST, SAYS SENATOR
Thomas Says Prohibition Amendment
May Be as Revolutionary as the
Civil War.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE prohi-
bition amendment To the Constitution
challenges the integrity of the states,
Senator Thomas of Colorado, argued
last night before the New York State
Bar Association. 1t embodies, he de-
elared, a revolution in the constitu-
tional scheme of government possibly
destined to prove as far reaching in its
political consequences "A the Civil War,
which challenged the integrity of the
union.
Elf by observing the formulas pro
vided for amending the constitution, 7
Mr. Thomas said, 1.-THE object embraced
in the 18th amendment may be per
mainly embodied in it, 50 may every
other object be, without regard to the
original division of powers.
With this warning of what might re-
suit, the senator urged that the nation
and the states would be preserved, each
in its proper sphere, by insistence that
all public authorities observe the limi-
tations imposed by the constitution and
that all citizens should be Americans
first and Democrats, Republicans or In
dependents afterward
Whatever may be said III behalf of
national prohibition, and | am in
hearty sympathy with its purposes, and
can testify to its social, moral and eco
monte value in the states which have
accepted it, the 18th amendment not
only changes but reyoiutionile5 the
| original structure Of the government
II cncroaches upon the reserved power,
Of the states, and Of the rights Of til,

tions and laws. and cquips the national

SALMON DOOMED.
Artificial Propagation Declared Failure
by Alaska's Fish Commissioner.

q. D. Garfield. Alaska Fish Commits
sioner, recently addressed gathering
Of salmon packers IT Seattle, Wash,
and advised his hearers that the fishing
industry in the territory would be COM
pletelv demoralized within 4 few years
unless drastic restrictions are at once
placed into effect 10 allow sufficient
fish to enter tn, spawning streams.
He described how salmon had been eX
terminated in streams emptving into
Puget Sound and how each year secs a
reduced run in the few streams in
which the fish are found
In speaking OF the artificial propaga-
ton of salmon he said: - For the past
fifteen wears the government has been
endeavoring to replensh the supply by
building hatcheries aud distributing
salmon fry. So far not single in
stance has been recorded where these
fish return 10 propagate in the waters
j in which they are released, and the
| fact seems well established that the
| efforts Of the government have proven

canncries during the year 1917 and
1918. Within a few years these in
stitutlons will for the most part be
scrapped and the industry ruined un-
less strict protective measures are
adopted.
Commissioner Garfield quoted IN
stances where Alaskan Indians had
combed the headwaters of various
Streams until not a single salmon cs-
capped to propagate. lie further
charged that he had observed fish be-
ing sold to canneries that was unfit
for food, having been caught several
days previous in the headwaters of
the streams and transported to Gamer
les by boat He made a strcng appeal
for coordination of purpose TO bring
about legislation that will protect the
industry. He stated that The aims Of
the commission were to secure the pass
age of laws to prohibit salmon fishing
in all streams and lakes of Alaska and
to prohibit fishing within 500 feet d
the mouth Of streams, permittmg
enough salmon to escape for spawning
to insure the maintenance of the pack,
and to build the runs up TO their for
mer size. New York Commercial

In Quadrennial Battle

Dental Fight.

Dental Fight.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE odd
War Horses of the two great political
parties are rcappearing everywhere in the
national capital. They are the delegate
hunters and at this period of the quad
rcnnial political revolution, they attach
themselves TO the candidates OF various
aspirants for the highest office within the
gift Of the American people
As means Of assessing the relative
value OF the various presidential booms
that are now being inflated to catch the
public eye and sympathy these War
Horses" offer the best possible material.
Looking first at battle lines OF the Re
publican candidates. one sees that Gen.
Leonard Wood has at the present mo-
ment an overwhelming majority OF popu
lar sentiment with him But public sym
pathv does not win nominal ions i'll par
" convent ions whose delegates are con-
trolled not by the sentiments of the par
ty electors in their districts. but by the
secret wires, which sometimes not even
the delegates themselves can discern. but
which, leading into an inner sanctum,
make them mere narionette1 whose an
tics are controlled BY the invisible hands
Of the ruling obligarchy.
The next most conspicuous candidate
Is COY. Frank O. Lowdcn OF Illinois The
reason why he is conspicuous is not
far to seek lie has the largest bank roll
and the largest paid staff Of politicians
working for him. His prominence AZ a
candidate increases i'll exact ratio a. he
Is allie 20 enlarge his army OF mercC nary
politicians but even il he can eventually
enlist an army a. great as the \. T.. r.
his nomination is by no means certa /!
The Republican obligarchy cannot be il
undated by any such show OF force. nol
can their protection be procured by the
individual bank roll of a candidate.
Suppose that i'll iuNtaposition to thi,
portrait. another picture should appear
that of Senator Harding OF Ohio, AZ {
stalwart Republican who~did not person
ally aspire to the high honor OF the pres
iiential. nomination, but was forced in
TO the ring by the clamor OF his consti
tuents. who has made the race without
depending 4 dollar in his own behalf an'
, apparently without any conspicuous ii
nancial backing.
Senator Poindexter i. conducting
lone hand campaign with not much i

There is one other thing TO be sal
for Senator johnson before procecdin
to the other side OF The case. II
Republican bosses know. that beside ht
ing a powerful eampaigner, he would nj
hesitate. if he thought it incumbent upo
him. to leave the Republican party an

don't have to guess what he would d
