A WHIRLWIND. ATTACK
(Thc Fight is Not Over)

There is no mistaking the
fact that the vets have begun a
whirlwind attack upon the Vol
stead act, as they tell the pub
lie that. that law, like any other,
can be repealed or modified by
a bare majority of Congress.
Once rendered innocuous, they
know, as every dry should, that
the National Prohibition
Amendment itself would not
long endure; if not repealed, it
would be a dead letter.
Newspaper writers quite evil
IDENTIFY have been subsidized;
daily papers have been bought;
some preachers have been
reached and every avenue of
communication to the people
has been contaminated If within
the power of the vets so to do.
Whether the Prohibition pol
icy will stand permanently or
fall by the wayside depends
upon the drys themselves and
upon them alone. There never
has been any doubt as to the
attitude the liquorites would
assume. No well-informed cit
izen ever thought for moment
that they would obey any law
which restrained the booze
business if they could success
fully evade it. They are run
ming true to form. They are
determined to break down and
repeal the Nolstead act and their
final purpose is the repeal or
notification of the National
Prohibition Amendment.

move.--National Enquirer.

HISTORY in MAINE
LESSON FOR NATION
Constitutional Law Did Not End
Fight

The story OF the fight for Prohibi-
ton in Maine contains an important
lesson for the nation at the present
time. The long fight against nullih-
cation sin this pioneer dry state and
what it teaches the nation now is dis
cussed by c. +. Owen, superintendent
of the Christian Civic League OF
Maine. He writes as follows;
when in 1884 the state OF Maine
adopted Constitutional Prohibition by
3 to majority, thousands Of our
Christian citizens took it for granted
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1921-10-21

that our victory over the rum traffic
in Maine was won and the battle
ended. The liquor issue was settled.
Prohibition was embedded in the Con-
stitution from which it could never be
removed. Acting upon this belief
thousands of our Christian voters dis
missed the subject and ceased to give
attention to political affairs. The re-
suit was inevitable. The administra-
fion of the law soon passed into the
hands of those who did not neglect
their civic duties and privileges.
Mapping Christian Voters

was written in the state constitution

MUST HAVE NEW BUILD

DENTS ADMISSION

The student body of the College OF
Agriculture has increased more than
seven fold since the appropriation fol
the present building was made. There
were at that time 211 students in the
College as compared with a student
body of 1850 this year.
The time is rapidly approaching
that unless new building is soon
erected students will have to be de-
MED admission to the College of Ag-
riculture. Nothing could be more Sc
rious to Missouri agriculture nor more
against the wishes of the College than
such an alternative.
The phenominal growth of the Col
lege of Agriculture has been due to
the superior service it has rendered
Missouri in it's great educational pro-
gram for better farming. The Col
lcge feels that nothing short of its
very best efforts is good enough for
its great student body, but with all
the class rooms, laboratories and
available space congested as it is
now, the service the college is render
ing is made seriously difficult at best.
Another new building win lessen the
strain under which the various de-
partments are now compelled to work
and give to the students an infinite
number of added opportunities to OBJ
tain the best there is in the field of
better farming.
Every fiber of the College of Ag-
riculture is now on high tension. The
institution is keeping its pledges to
Missouri to lend all Of its energies to
gather and supply the best inforna-
ton available for the improvement Of
agriculture in Missouri. That the Col
lege may increase the fullness of its
service, enrich and expand its re-
sources and take the place it most de-
sires to take in Missouri farm life, It
is imperative that more room be pro.
tided. A new building win make all
these possible.

WHY THE FALL OF WHEAT?

1t must be that not very many peo-
pie understand the wheat market.
Many reasons have been advanced for
the precipitous decline in the price of
wheat during the past summer anu
fall, the favorite theory being that our
exports had decreased. 1t was found
in the course of time that our exports
had increased. Now, somebody tells
us that wheat hit the toboggan be-
cause the Government did not keep
us informed of what was really going
on. That is, had we known that our
exports were increasing we would not
have let the bear come down the tree
in the way he did. That sounds likely,
since we do not know of any class of
business men who were not afraid to
buy anything much on what they be-
lieved to be falling market, certain
of getting in time back to what Sena-
tor Harding called normally. One in
teresting feature of what has hap
pened is that Notwithstanding the in
dignation Of wheat growers because of
Government control, which no doubt
did keep them from profteering in
wheat at the height of the war fam
inc, the fact that wheat tumbled be-
low the Government minimum the mo-
ment it was removed proves the Gov
eminent to have saved the wheat
growers something-how much we

can't tell. 1t is amusing to recall that
they were first mad when the Gov
eminent stepped in, and then mad
again when it stepped out. We have
little notion of our own about the
phenomenon of wheat prices, which
have no justification in any obvious
thing. We imagine the present price
Aof wheat is only part Of the general
downward trend from level which
had long ago left the country busted.
1t had become an immoral state of af-
fairs-one in which the profiteers
themselves finally became alarmed. A

which investigated coal prices says

almost everything been a national dis
grace. Certainly there was nothing
graceful about the price of -four. Your
