Prohibition Constitutional

The Supreme Court of the United
States gave one of the greatest de-
cisions in the history of the nation last
Monday when the members by a prac-
tically unanimous decision declared the
18th amendment constitutional as pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale OF
Intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses. The decision knocks the props
from under every wet hope.
No decision has been so momentous
since the bred Scott decision in 1865
which made negro slavery co-exten-
sive with the nation and brought on
a political revolution and a civil "a
This decision makes prohibition CO.
extensive with the nation in all places
where a majority of the people do not
favor it, especially in New Jersey,
New York Pennsylvania, Connecticut
and Rhode Island, which are political
ly controlled by the foreign elements
who have not been educated up to the
standard of Puritan democracy.
Much hope was laid on the words
concurrent power given the States
to enforce prohibition. The Court
saws: The words Concurrent power"
in that section do not mean joint pow
er or require that legislation there
under by Congress, to be effective,
shall be approved or sanctioned by the
several States, or any of them; nor
do they mean that the power to en-
force is divided between Congress and
the several States along the lines
which separate or distinguish foreign
and interstate commerce from inter-
state affairs. The power confided to
Congress by that section while not ex-
elusive, is territorially co-extensive
with the prohibition of the first sec
ton, embraces manufacture and other
interstate transactions as well as i'm
portation, expectation and interstate
traffic and is in no wise dependent on
or affected by action or inacton or the
part Of the several States or any of
them"
"While recognizing that there are
limits beyond which Congress cannot
go in treating beverages as within its
power of enforcement, we think those
limits are not transcribed by the pro-
hibition of the Volstead act wherein
liquors containing as much as one-half
of l per cent of alcohol by volume and
fit for use for beverage purpose are
treated as within that power"
Hope for eternity, babe the world
farewell
And FREEDOM shrieked-as Barley
corn fell.

The New Jersey Legislature has
thus far enacted SAB laws. Of this
grist of new legislation, according to
the Newark News, seventy laws call
for salary increases, bonuses, and pen
sions. Twenty others provide for the
expenditure of more money. Seven
create new jobs. Four grant additional
tax exemptions. One permits an in
crease of indebtedness of counties be-
yond the danger point" 1t is doubt
full if this record of money spending
was ever before ~equalled in the history
of the State, and it does not include
the housing bills now before the SEN
ate or the millions of dollars of pro-
posed bond issues that are to be sub
mitted to the voters on referendum
next November. Prodigality, rather
than economy, seems to have been the
watch word at Trenton this year.

The women are now holding an In
ternational Convention in Geneva,
Switzerland, discussing suffrage. The
labor union men are now holding an
International Union in Montreal, Can
ada. Senator Lodge in his keynote
speech in the Republican convention
overlooked these Americans for mixing
with blasted foreigners. Don't you
remember the Canadians sent an army
into the colonies in the French and
Indian War in 1750-60. Senator Lodge
1--WE must be now and ever against
internationalism." 1t is enough to
make all schoolboys laugh, who read
in his history how Roosevelt sent the
Navy around the world and showed
that we could whip all creation. Hav-
ing whipped the Germans Lodge is
now ashmed Of it

Appeals for Farm Workers

Farm production is again threatened
by a shortage of workers. Reports
obtained by the Department of Agri-
culture indicate that the supply of
farm labor in this country is only
about ~ per cent of the normal supply
compared with about "a per cent of q
normal supply a yeax' ago, or about the
same as that of two years age, when
large numbers of men were in the mill
..tary service.

Congress adjourned last Saturday
after being in session almost continu-
ously for fifteen months. The greatest
act was the rejection of the Peace
Treaty. President Wilson said: "In
the light of the record of the present
Congress l have no reason whatever
to hope that its continuance in session
would result in constructive measures
for the relief of the economic condi-
tons to which you call attention"

One of the provisions of the Peace
Treaty forbids the former compulsory
military service in Germany. Peace
by Congressional resolution leaves
Germany to follow the old way as
their National Assembly has not made
a law abolishing militarism. The
League of Nations is the moral force
to see that Germany does not continue
to be a military nation by raising an
other generation of fighters.

When a building is empty the bust

Governor Edward l. Edwards con-
situtional dream, four times older than
Rip Van Wrinkles, and the transmit
grafton of John C. Calhoun's political
soul which spoke thru him, may now
return to its grave for another 80

killed the ghost by declaring the 18th
Amendment constitutional. May it
rest serene with Jefferson Davis.

Game Officials Give
Conservation Ruling
Conservation Commission Sends Word
That Animals Which Destroy
Property Are Not Protected.

A letter was received this morning
by Attorneys Cavanagh and Mittel-
staed from w. E. Barber, state game
conservation head, stating that wild
animals that were a menace and pest
to the welfare Of farmers hen roosts
and corn fields could be killed with
out any lawful consequence if the
affair was reported at once to the
commission.
The attorneys recently appeared in
behalf of David Hanrach, the thirteen
year old Bristol trapper, who was up
in the municipal court for illegal
trapping of mink. The attorneys
presented the fact that Hanrach had
trapped the mink because Of depreda-
tions upon the Hanrach hen roost.
The case was tried before jury who
acquitted young Hanrach of the charge.
State Game Conservation Officer
Barber stated that it was not illegal
to kill such an animal under such
conditions but that if such an animal
was killed it was up to the trapper
to notify the conservation officer, who
would give instructions as to the dis
position of the hide.

IRISH PEACE RUMORS
ARE REVIVED TODAY
Christmas Spirit May Bring Truce
With Definite Action for Estab-
lished Peace Later On.
by Associated Pressl

London.-Recent rumors of impor-
tant influences working for the con-
clusion Of truce in Ireland prelimin-
airy to permanent peace there, are re-
vived by some newspapers here today.
Suggestion Is made that definite meas
ures of Cancellation are being initiated
but all reports are very vague and
seemed to be mainly based on remarks
made by Premier Lloyd-George in the
house of commons yesterday. A mem
Der Of the house had asked the premier
whether, in view of the approach Of
Christmas, he should not try to bring
about a truce, and the premier answer
ed he was "quite as anxious as the
questioner to see murder in Ireland
ended and would not have waited for
the approach of Christmas to make eff
forts in that direction" 81 have re-
peatedly said that / am prepared to
take any steps that will lead to peace
in Ireland" said Lloyd George. The
supposed movement is linked by news
paper writer's with the visit to Ireland
of the labor commission, which is at
present in Dublin, and pressure which
is said to be brought to bear upon the
Irish hierarchy to intervene more ac-
lively in the cause of peace. 1t is con-
tended that sentiment against anarchy
is growing daily in Ireland.

JEWRY OBSERVES
HOLIDAY EVENTS

Kenosha's Jewry celebrated the first
day of Chanukah, national holiday,
with a festival under the auspices of
Congregation B'Nai Zedek, at Carpen-
ter hall Sunday evening. The forepart
Of the evening was devoted exclusively
to the children. Riddles of all ages,
ranging from two and three to four
teen and fifteen, gathered at the hall
at seven o'clock for the general merri-
ment featured by the distribution of
tiny buckets of candies by the mem
bers of the Jewish Ladies Aid Society.
A program appropriate to the season
was arranged by Rev. M. Hartman.
The first number consisted of the
chanting of Chanukah prayers by Leo
Jeff. Then ten boys, ranged in line
explained the alphabetical meaning of
Chanukah as follows: Courage;
h-hope; ambition; Numbers;
u-unity; knowledge; a--ardor;
h-home. The chief event in the pro-
gram was the presentation of q playlet
"A Maccabean Cure" which explained
the meaning of the holiday in novel
manner. Twelve religious school pu-
pills participated. Chester Zeff acted
as coach.
Dance Later in Evening.
Following the distribution of the
candy the floor was cleared and Row
ellis orchestra struck the first note for
the informal dancing program from
nine to twelve o'clock.
Wbs1a n,,r, bouc
arrived for the dancing the kiddies
were still much in evidence having the
time of their lives on the one even
ing which entitled them to the center
of the stage.
The Chanukah season is one of the
joyous occasions in the Jewish holi-
day calendar. 1t marks the victory of
the Jews over the Greeks who had
long tyrranized over them. During the
rule of the Greeks over Palestine every
effort was made to have the Jews dis
regard their Torah and the Jewish
customs. Finally, in 169 B. c., Malta
thias, high priest of Modin, and his
five sons, John, Simon, Judas, Eleazar
and Jonathon, rebelled. Judas was APP
pointed leader, and, at the head of a
small army preparations were made
to fight the Syrians. The Jewish army
was finally victorious and on the 25th
day of the Jewish month Kisleb the
enemy was delivered into its hands.
The temples were purified and there
was great rejoicing at the final over
throw of the Syrians.
Annau Chunukah Observance.
Since that time the occasion has been
celebrated for period of eight days
observed especially by distribution Of
gifts among the children, by feasting
and the kindling of eight candles, one
on each succeeding evening of the holt
day period
1t is interesting to note that the
name of "Maccabee," applied to the
high priest and his five hero sons
originated from the password meaning,
"Who is like unto Thee among the
mighty?" The first letters in the
Hebrew correspond to M. X. b. L. and
thus it became common to denote the
family by the name Maccagce altho
the family name had been Hasmoniea.

Marriage Ties of
Short Duration
Claude Johnston Asks Divorce from
Wife Who Deserted Him After
Three Weeks Married Life.

Alleging that his wife, Clara Johns
ton, deserted him three weeks after
they were married in Chicago on De-
cember 13, 1918, Claude Johnston of
Kenosha, through his attorney, M. G.
O'Donnell, has filed suit in the cir
cult court asking for divorce. Johns
ton declares that his wife left him on
January 2, 1914 and that he saw her
two years ago on the streets Of Chi
cago and asked her to come to Keno
sha where he told her he had provided
a home for her. Mrs. Johnston de-
clined the invitation, according to the
complaint and her husband has not
heard from her since. The suit will
be heard at an early session of the
circuit court.

GR0TSKY WILL
KEEP LICENSE
West Side Furor Over "Dry
Saloon" Ends With no
Action by Council.
PETITION IS FILED

The Juror which has been brewing
on the west side over the question of
whether or not the license issued to
Grotsky and Hrupka to operate a
Temperance saloon" at 557 Newell
street should be revoked, came to an
end so far as the council was con-
cerned, on Monday evening when the
report of the license committee that
the "license should not be revoked"
was accepted by large majority.
Grotsky was not summoned TO appear
before the council to defend himself
as he had been ordered previously nor
was any report made by the commit
tee regarding the investigation of the
various petitions in connection with
the case.
Episode Ended With Thrills.
The ending Of the episode was not
without thrills. The fireworks were
anticipated early in the meeting when
petition was presented, signed by
John Scholey and thirty-fve others,
pointing out that the Grotsky saloon
was within three hundred feet of a
church building and asking that for
the same reasons as explained before
the license should be revoked. This
petition supported the petition first
presented to the council regarding thu
place. 1t was ordered held in abey-
ance until the report of the committee.
Alderman Cox rose to oppose the
acceptance of the report of the COM
mittee on the grounds that the prayer
of the petitioners should be granted.
No One Seconds Amendment.
II am not desiring to appear in the
role of crusader" said Alderman
Cox, shut do not intend to ignore a
bona fide petition signed by thirty-six
residents. Another petition was pre-
scented, asking that this license be not
revoked, but many who signed that
either took no opportunity to go near
the place in question or have asked
to have their names stricken off the
list. Tonight we have another petit
ton presented with thirty-fve more
signatures. Are you going to vote
with the majority or the minority? I
wish to make an amendment to the
report to direct that the license be
revoked"
"Has anyone nerve enough to second
the amendment" queried Alderman
Cox as he took his seat.
No one seconded it and the amend
ment was lost. Alderman Cox voted
against accepting the report, but the
motion was carried An opportunity
was given any petitioner who might
be present at the. meeting to appear
before the council, but no one accepted
the opportunity
1t is rumored that the matter may
not be allowed to end here and that
the petitioners will file other petitions
in the near future.
