Nations Eyes on Chicago

far one mans guess is as good as another's
as to who will win the nomination. None
oil the announced candidates has com

all combined are considerably less than the
uninstructcd vote, thus virtually placing
choice OF nominee within the power of
the uninstructed delegations should thew
sec tit 10 unite their strength and hold out
against selection OF any OF the candidates
already in the field. However il Is I'M
likely that there vii! be any such clearly
dclncd cleavage between the instructed and
uninStructed vote. but rather that in feel
ing about for the candidate most available.
the nninstructed delegations for the first few
ballots will divide their vote among the sew
elai candidates who have secured instructed
votes. Under such division OF the vote
should any OF these secure II commanding
lead and steadfastly hold it. it may he ac-
ccpted as sufficient test OF availability and
under the enthusiasm likely to he created
by the champions OF such candidacy. the
convention may be swept off its feet and
Its choice acclaimed with Il great hurrah
But, II no one OF the candidates who has
entered TIE convention with instructed sup

weighed in the balance and found want

Let Enforcement BE Rigid

THE Supreme Court has spoken.
l The eighteenth amendment and tho
Nolstcad enforcement act are valid. They
are now undisputed integral parts OF the law
O.; the land. and as such they must he recog-
nized ana sustained by every patriotic cit
izen. Various suits brought to test their
validity have been dismissed.
1t is Il straight-out bonc-dry prohibition
victory all along the line, and opponents
both OF the amendment and its drastic en-
forcement measure must make the best of
it. They have carried their case to the
tribunal of last resort, and their battle has
ended. not only in defeat, but in utter rout.
1t is useless now to discuss pro or con
the merits of the case or the reasons tho
court found for it's conclusions. They must
have been convincingly sound and we'll
weighed, for no decision OF more far-rcach
ing Importance in its direct effects on the
daily lives Of millions of American citizens
will be found in all its voluminous records.
The decision will be hailed by certain
umph for righteousness; by the remainder
as an infringement on their personal rights
and liberties, a bar to their pursuit OF hap
piness and IL further invasion of the pre-
negatives reserved TO the States under their
compact of union. But in the discussions
must he borne in mind that the peoples
highest court has decided in favor of the
former.
And now. what of the future? The law
has been laid down let it be enforced in
spirit and in letter That will be the right
way the American way. To make liquor
for commercial purpose containing more
than one-half Of 1 per cent alcohol is now
Il violation of the letter of the law; to
buy it or drink it is violation OF the
spirit. Let both be suppressed. Let due

on the bootegger that the ban on their vo-
cation is unaltcrable, and they must go
The law must he upheld at whatever cost or
and those who transgress it
are no longer acceptable among honest and
loyal Americans. 1t will require time and
patience, money and perhaps life, to Grad
icate the Illicit business, but the Federal
government has assumed responsibility of
tho task, and, aided by the States, it should
be able to accomplish its purpose.
That is the only policy of wisdom for the
nation. the State and the individual If
the amendment and the enforcement law
are good, time will prove them so. and all
patriotic citizens will rejoice; if they are
bad, then the moro rigid the enforcement
the more quickly public sentiment will de-
mand their repeal. 1t may he doubted if
that sentiment ever will be sufficiently strong
to force repeal Of the amcndment-ccr,ainl
not in this generation; but it may elect a
Congress that will modify tho Volstead act
and permit certain amount OF latitude in
