General Pershing when Mayor Cow
gill OF Kansas city told him that he
was getting such a welcome as a
president might receive" The other

sundry ways Of declining a presiden-
cy: some of them stick and some do
not. It 10 we'll that they do not always

man who is mot a candidate" or
who has mo such ambitions" be
weaker in the knees than were those
Of Blaine?
There was one man, however, who
managed to make a declaration that
stuck. It was General Sherman who
chose this ~phraseology: II shall NOT
accept If nominated. II elected I
shall not serve" There was some
thing about that which had the ac-
cent Of business. It il true, Of course,
that il General sherman had been the
leading candidate instead Of being
merely a proposal as they say in
South Dakota, there might have been
some misguided friends who. would
have insisted that he was in their
hands. Yet there is no reason for be-
ing cynical about it. Blaine. who re-
ally was the leading candidate. was
willing to step aside for Sherman, or
said he was in private letters, and it

That Wartime Prohibi-
ton Law Has Been In
Force Indicate. That Life
In This Country Will Be
Little Changed, Declares
Roper.

Washington, jan. 16.-Constitu-
tionai prohibition becomes effective
at midnight tonight.
r 1901 q. m, the "manufac-
ture, sale or transportation Of intoxi-
eating liquors within, the IMPORTATION
thereof into, or the expectation there
OF, from the United States and all ter
ritory subject to the jurisdiction
thereof for beverage purposes" is
prohibited by. the 18th amendment to
the constitution. and the United
States becomes the first nation of the
world to make such a provision part
OF its basic law. Congress has defined
an Intoxicating liquor as any bever-
age containing one-half of one per
cent, or more, Of alcohol.
Actually, the advent OF constitu-
tional prohibition will make little
difference In the daily life of the peo-
pie of this country, az they have been
living under the nationwide war
time ban on alcoholic drinks since
last July. There have been eager
hopes entertained by the thirsty, by
distillers and by SPECTATORS holding
large quantities Of whiskey for high
er prices, that wartime prohibition
would be lifted before today in ac-
cordance with the recommendation Of
President Wilson to congress-, but
congress- refused to do so and the
arid spell now about to begin under
authority of the nations constitution,
which prohibitionists declare will
much as It could be revoked only in
the same manner in which it came
into existence, will permit no oppor-
tunity for the treplenishing Of private
cellars or the unloading Of invest
ment stocks. There are two cases

the apostle and the manufacturer are
quite in accord IN one Of the import
ant elements of life.
We may quite reasonably conclude
that Paurs advice was against the
mourning Of personal obligations as
4 matter of personal convenience, and
was not intended to apply to a mans
reasqRable use Of his credit. Mr..
Ford's advice, also, is easy to under
stand. He advises the young man
to buy something that he can use to
advantage in the development of his
" character or the upbuilding of
his fortune, to go in deb for it, within
the reasonable limits Of his capacity
to pay. to pay the debt, and then, as
often as necessary, to repeat the pro-
cess. 1t seems like good advice.
1t is generally admitted that the saw
ing Of money is by no means all there
is to thrift, even when that term is
understood in the restricted sense Of
accumulating material wealth. With
most me- the process of buying on
credit and then paying the debt is
much more nearly certain. But the
saving Of money itself, If it be not
~overdone, is pretty good practice.
There r persons who can and do
set aside from their earnings every
week or month a definite sun az
savings. who bank it or invest it in
Building and Loan stock, or place it
at interest in some other way, who
keep their hands off the investment
while they watch it grow; and who
treat the accumulation as permanent
capital to be usefully invested, and
not as spending money to crafty .
passing desire. There are such peo-
pie, but how many Of them? The pro-
cess requires firmness and, persist
ence, and the exercise is not q bad
character developer. Just try it,

have officially begun, for the prohi-
bitton amendment to the federal con-
%stitution is in effect. In actual. prac-
tice the taking effect Of the amend
ment will not be noticed by the gem
eral public. as the country has been
on, a prohibition basis since the first
Of last July, when the wartime pro-
hibition law took effect. That law
is still in effect. and, without any
interim, constitutional prohibition
mas become a working part Of our
system. With the declaration of
peace the wartime prohibition law
will pass out Of existence, but the
constitutional provision is a fixity.
The only material difference caused
by b taking effect OF the constitu-
tions1 amendment is that whereas un-
der wartime prohibition, owners of
Intoxicating beverages were al liberty
to dispose Of their stocks abroad. If
they could find purchasers that
privilege p denied them under the
amendment. Now such beverages
can neither be manufactured o
sold within the United States, and can
neither be imported tt nor exported
from it. Transportation from place
to place is prohibited, except that
some authorities hold that the owner
Of liquor who is changing his resi-
dence may take his loaded jugs and
bottles With him, along with the rest
OF his household goods. Other au-
thorities maintain that even this
privilege does not exist.
While the law Is very strict in
some particulars it is very liberal in
others. The person who has stored
In his home liquors obtained prior to
July 1 ID entitled to retain possession
OF them. and to use them as he
pleases on his own premtses, so far
