Mr.. Palmer's. entrance in the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination, with
the undoubted approval Of the President,
furnishes ground for suspicion that Son-in-

have imagined. Probably Son-in law

The Ohio Referendum Case

issues hang upon the Supreme
1 Courts decision in tho Ohio referendum
case now before that tribunal, the arguments
in which the court has just heard. That de-
clsion may determine first, whether or not it
viii be possible to ratify the Susan B. An
thony amendment to the Constitution grant
ing votes to women in time for the presiden-
tial election. And next, il may determine
whether or not the eighteenth or prohibition
amendment to the Constitution actually went
into effect on January 16.
1t is commended by the antisuffragists and
the antiprohibitionists that the people of Ohio
have the right 10 rcpudiate or to sustain the
action OF their Legislature upon any issue,
and this necessarily includes issues growing
out OF amendments to the Federal Constitu-
ton. The suffragists and prohibitionists, on
the other hand, contend that the referendum
is restricted more particularly to State issues,
The Supreme Court Of Ohio has ruled in favor
OF the ants and the case has been appealed
to the United States Supreme Court for final
adjudication.
If the highest court agrees with the opinion
OF the state court il is altogether probable
that that proclamation issued by the Secre-
tary Of State on January 16, 1918, announc-
ing that the prohibition amendment to the
Constitution would become operative on
January 16, 1920, will have TO be recalled.
The vote Of Ohio was included in the thirty
six which had been cast at that time for rati-
%iication, and while two other States had rati-
fed on that date they were not listed by.
Acting Secretary Polk in the proclamation as
issued.
The arguments having been concluded, it
is not unlikely that the Supreme Court will
reach its conclusion within the very near
future and the country given to understand
what it may expect in the direction regard
ing prohibition. The Ohio prohibition case,
however, is not to be confused with that
brought by the State Of Rhode Island. The
Rhode Island issue is based on entirely differ
ent grounds. 1t attacks the eighteenth
amendment and also invokes the general
question Of States rights and not that of the
validity OF q referendum.

PERILS UNFORESEEN.


Funds are raised today in all con-
ceiyable wsys for a multiplicity of OBJ
iects, says an exchange One of the
most singular subscription lists re-
Gently opened is that for a French
aviator who in attempting to fly from
France to Australia, had the propel-
Ter of his machine broken in Burma by
the attack Of an enormous vulture
There is no doubt that the plucky
Lieutenant POulet deserves the 10000
francs the Paris Intrasigeant h a S
raised for him; but the oddity of the
occurrence suggests again the immi-
nence of peril when we are least pre-
pared for it.
A good old lady in a town not far
from here piously thanked Providence
each day of her life that she was not
exposed to the perils that missionaries
in savage countries incurred. As she
was taking her placid morning walk
one day a branch broke from an elm
tree and fell upon her, injuring her
so badly that her death resulted not
long afterward. Yet none could have
lived a more sheltered and secluded
life than she.
Truly, as Shakespeare says, our fate
may be hid in an auger-hole. But the
people who braSly and cheerfulIy
carry forward the worlds work do not
bother their heads much about the
possible lions in the way. They are
not thinking about death-they are
thinking about-and duty crowds out
q plague Of apprehensions that might
otherwise chill a purpose and paralyze
an action. As sturdy old Doctor John
son said, there are many doubts that
do not deserve to be cleared; and if
a fear Of any sort keeps US from a
wholesome deed it deserves the sum

U. S. FARMS BIG PRODUCERS.

The wastage of war in Europe has
been counterbalanced by bumper
yield of crops in America. An I'M

this year, according to figures recent
ly made public by the Department Of
Agriculture, which is almost $780,
O0O.O 900 more than the value of last
years production.
An area Of more than 100000
acres greater than in 1918 was under
cultivation, making atotal of nearly
4OO.OOO,O00 acres titled by American
farmers. Corn led all othet crops
with valuation of S3,934,34,OOO.
Cotton, including seed, was second,
with a total valuation of $2,332,9l3,-
600. The hay crop aounted to S2,129,-

THE PRESIDENTS BIRTHDAY

Last Monday President Wilson OBJ
served his sixty-third birthday ami
versary, says an exchange. From all
parts of the land expressions of good
will and of sympathy have come to
him, which in the peculiarly trying
circumstances must be especially gra-
tifying to him as evidence that his
service and his self sacrifice, in his
enormous labors in the Presidency,
have been appreciated even by jour
nails and individuals of declared hos
tility to his administration.
Whether one is in agreement with
his political views and practices or not,
the Presidents devotion to his coun-
try and his unremitting personal at
tachment to her interests will not be
denied. His protracted grievous i'll
ness is the direct result Of his .assump-
ton Of burdens perhaps greater than
any other Chief Executive has carried
1t must have been a source Of poig-
