movement to repeal the amendment is
likely ever to win the support of two
thirds of Congress and three-fourths of
the states.
The attempts to nullify the law by in
genious legislation or through the rulings
of the courts are equally vain. Any
thing, more than one-half of one per cent
of alcohol in liquid makes it an illegal
beverage. 1t is pointed out-and Of
course is true-that Congress and the
state legislatures could pass laws declar-
ing that the liquor containing as much as
| thirty per cent of alcohol is non-intox-
icating; but they will not do it. The
most that they are ever likely to do is TO
raise the alcohol content to a point where
there may be a reasonable doubt whether
or not beverage is intoxicating. The
Supreme Court of the United States has
already given an indication that it will
not Illustrate the intentions of the pro-
| hibitionists. If some of the state courts
give decisions favorable to the sale of
mild liquors, these decisions will in time
be overruled. Formerly "dry" state
surrounded by "wep states could not pro-
' tect itself; now the saloon men and the
drinkers are dealing with the Government
of the United States, which has a long
arm and strong and all-cmbracing net.
Moreover, and this draws the strings

HERE TO STAY.

The eighteenth amendment of the Con-
stitution has been ratified by forty-hve of
the forty-eight states. Whether or not IT
is true that majority of the people of
the country are really opposed to prohibit
ton, it is now as sure as anything human
can be that the amendment will live as
long as the Constitution itself remains the
supreme law of the land.
The prediction is based on knowledge
of human nature. It may be frankly
admitted that there are millions of men
in the country who have been accustome ed
to drink-moderate or immediately.
They do not believe in prohibition, and
if they could they would repeal or mod
fly the new law. But, many as they
are,-in numbers perhaps even major
ity,-for practical purposes they are a
minority, since they are massed in a few
communities. Moreover, their numbers
are sure to grow less; for, as the old
craving dies down for the lack of any
thing to feed upon, most of them will
cease their efforts to obtain liquor and
accept the situation. Those who never
drank are of course satisfied with things
as they are. 1t follows, then, that cb-
jectors to the new law will never be more
numerous than they are now; and since
they are now hopeless minority, nc

PRINCIPAL ENUMERATED OF BRU-
TALlTY CHARGE IN COURT.

Professor F. D. Gosserand, principal Of
the Franklin High School, was found not
guilty Saturday morning in the District
Court of brutality maltreating one of his
pupils. Charge had bsen made by the
child's parents, and the professor had
been arrested several days ago and
placed under bond.
In pressing the case against Mr.. Gosse-
rand, the state did not question the
principals right to inflict corporal pun
ishment upon pupil as the state law
provides that such punishment may bt
given by the teacher. The court determ-
ined to what extent the child had been
punished, and then found, by comparing
the case in hand with a precedent, that
the punishment given the child by Mr.
Gosserand was not brutal nature as
charged. The court did not seek to fine
if MI. Gosserand was justified in pun
ishing the child, pointing out that wher
the child passes under the jurisdiction Of
the teacher the teacher becomes the "sec.
ond parent of the child The law pro
vides against brutal punishment by eitne
parent or teacher.
Judge Percy Saint presided. Distric
Attorney Rene Himel prosecuted the cas-
for the stat, and Attorney Alpha o

COMBATING A NEW MENACE.

The appearance of the pink boil worm
in Louisiana's most southwesterly parish
has resulted in prompt steps by Louisi-
ana's cotton interests to avert the danger.
Meetings held in this city in the past few
days have led to the adoption of the plan
to adopt a zone including Cameron and
parts of Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis
parishes, in which the planting of cotton
shall be prohibited and all cotton stalks
and seed shall be destroyed.
The people of the parish which is most
infected, have shown a proper and com
mendabe spirit although the creation Of
such a zone means an additional disaster
piled on top of other disasters that have
befallen them. 1t is only a few years
since the parish was swept by gulf
storm which not only destroyed much
property, but left the tide water from the
gulf standing in some of its most fertile
districts, until the land was impregnatei
with salt and unfit for cultivation. When
the privilege of planting cotton on the
ridges above tide water is denied them,
the Cameron people will find themselves
in an unhappy situation.
To mitigate the hardships of such al
order, the governor, governor-elect and
chairman of the state cotton association,
will ask each member of the legislature
to pledge himself to support law to be
passed at the May session imposing a tax
of SO cents bale upon all cotton grown
in the state to create fund TO compensate
those who are within the zone in which
cotton growing is prohibited Such lax
will yield from $225, 900 to $250,000. The
proposal that it be levied comes from the
cotton growers of the state themselves
who rightly regard such a tax as small
price to pay to keep this latest and most
dangerous cotton pest out of their
felds.-Item.

AN EASY WAY TO STOP IT.

District Attorney Mooney has been
called to Washington to testify in the
relentless war congress has instituted
against profteering in sugar. While the
price of everything salable has been
mounting skyward with successive
whoops, people, deceived by its quiescent
attitude, may have thought that CongreJ IS
was doing nothing; but such was not ths
case. Congress was watchfully wating
TO place its finger upon the chief often
fender, the moving cause of the rape os
billions from the pockets of the pee-pul,
ready to pounce upon the culprit when the
psychological moment arrived.
The keystone of profiteering has now
been disclosed. The villain of the pie ,e
has been unmasked, the responsibility fc-
all of it rests upon the Louisiana sugar
planters who sold their Is percent of a
normal crop at two or three cents a
pounde more than we are paying now Cor
the Cuban crop.
There are no other profteers anywhere
but the sugar dealers. Even in New Or
leans the entire Federal probe into prof
iteering, so far as court action is con-
cerned, resolved itself into few prosecu-
tons of corner grocers who exacted for
sugar few cents above the market price
One of them, we recollect, sold two
pounds at two cents a pound above the
fixed price and was put under bond for
$1,000.
Obviously, the only thing to do is to
prohibit the sale of sugar anywhere in
the United States. Then, all profiteering
ill cease, and peace will descend upon
our distracted country.-Item.

Avery placed the matter before Governor

treaty in making suggestions for
the Republican platform. His in
structions said that Republican SEN
ators would supply any necessary
information on foreign affairs to the
resolutions committee to be APP
pointed by the Republican National
convention.
The Republican chairman's en-
phasis of this point in his talk with
congressional members of the spe-
cial committee was taken today as
further evidence Of his desire to
keep the treaty out of the campaign.
He has been assured by leading Re-
publican senator's who agree with
him on this point that the treaty
will be disposed of long before con-
vention time.
One reason so much effort is being
expended on getting the treaty rat
flied and disposed of so far as the
senate is concerned bAfore campaign
time, senator's said, is that such ac-
ton will lessen the Importance in
the party of Senator Hiram John
son, a bitter foe of the treaty and
an aspirant for the nomination for
president.
Senators Johnson, Borah and the
other 'irreconcilables' now are a
force to be reckoned with, as Sena-
tor Lodge, the Republican leader,
learned recently, senators pointed
out. But with ratification accom-
plished, Senator Johnson would be
without an issue except withdrawal
from the league, it is stated, and
this issue would not get him any
where in the belief Of astute Repub-
lican politicians. 1t is regarded as
highly important for the solidarity
of the party to keep Johnson from
becoming too powerful.
Senator Johnson, back today from
a stumping trip in Missouri, def

BRITISH PRESS
COMMENT ON
COTTON IMPORTS

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The "stcppage
of cotton imports is one Of the first
and most telling effects of the ex-
change situation" between Great
Britain and the United States, the
! Star declared today.
While no official ban has been
placed on cotton imports from Amer
lea, newspapers pointed out that
British manufacturers can improve
their situation only by refusing to
buy until the value of the pound be-
comes more nearly normal in New
York.
British cotton buyers are being
forced automatically by the exchange
slump to stop their imports from
America, the Manchester Guardian,
in the heart of the British cotton
manufacturing area, asserted,
AS a result of yesterdays sensa-
tional slump in the value of the
pound sterling i'll New York the
movement to refrain from buying
American made goods today reach
ed such proportions it caused grave
concern among representatives Of
American business houses here. Brit
ish financial authorities pointed out
that hte government has for it's only
object the relieving of the sterling
exchange situation.
One after another. newspapers
have joined the campaign, urging the
people not to buy anything made in
the United States except absolute
necessities. The latest adherent to
the cause was the Evening News. one
Of Lord NorthcNffe's newspapers.
"Today's drop in exchange puts an
effective and definite halt to any
ideas o. importing cotton under eE-
listing conditions" the Manchester
Guardian said.
Manchester manufacturers of cot
ton goods, the newspaper asserted,
even nave started shipping cotton
back to the United States, selling 1T
for dollars and making more profit,
owing to the decrease in exchange
since they bought the cotton, than
they would have by manufacturing
the cotton into cloth in British mills.
There is sufficient cotton IN
Great Britain to keep our mills busy
for nine or ten weeks" the Star said,

When the big dreadnaughts of the

from their base of supplies and some

yard where repairs can be made But
this is of but small consequence to
our able mechanics on board these
vessels, as they are well equipped
and can turn out anything necessary
to keep their ship running.
Our naval mechanics, whom we

out some clever work and when a
part breaks, they simply take raw
material and produce the counter part
of the original.
