Power of Congress Limited.

OF course this Is a statement of
one of the extremes in the case, but
It is generally believed In some places
that the two houses OF congress by a
joint vote can set aside a constitu-
tional amendment. All that congress
can do, Of course, is to have the mat
ter Of repeal Of an amendment to the
Constitution submitted to the states
of the Union for action. If congress
shall modify the present law so as
To permit the manufacture of light
beer and light wines, and the United
States Supreme court shall declare the
law unconstitutional, the only way of
bringing back light wines and beers
% the bars of the country will be
through a repeal of the amendment
which today forbids their appearance
en- bar or table.
The attempt here has been made to
set forth without prejudice the situa.
ton in this wet and dry case. 1t
seemingly is true that the vets gained
a number in the next congress, but II
also is true that nine states of the
Union can prevent a repeal of the
eighteenth amendment. If the amend.
ment is to be changed, it will take q
longtime to do 1t. 1t is certain, how
ever. that when the new congress
meets attempts will be made TO define
Just what Intoxicating liquors are
and an attempt also will be made to
raise the present amount of alcohol
which beverages may contain. 1t is
likely, also. that the attempt may be
made in the present congress, but the
general feeling seems to be that such
a law will have a better chance next

ton of the United States. TO some
minds that settles things absolutely
until the day, il 1t ever shall come.
when the constitutional amendment
shall be repealed.
Now it should be noted that the
eighteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition provides this: 1.-THE manufac-
ture, sale or transportation of intoN-
icating liquors within, the importation
thereof into, or the expectation there
of from the United States and all ter
rjtory subject to the jurisdiction
thereof for beverage purposes is here
by prohibited"
The whole thing, therefore, SEEM
ingly hangs on the answer to the
liquors. Several congressman have
expressed a determination to intro
duee bills providing for notifications
of the Volstead act which fixed the
alcoholic content of liquors which may
be sold at an exceedingly low per-
centage. one that almost reaches the
vanishing point.
Question for Supreme Court.
1t is held by a great many men
that congress by a statute can define
Just what Intoxicating liquors are, and
thereby if congress should say that
wine containing IA per cent of alec
hol Is not Intoxicating, a beverage of
that alcoholic content can be sold not
withstanding the provision of the
eighteenth amendment.
As. a matter of fact, the Supreme
Court of the United States probably
would have to decidee the question.
The Prohibitionists Know this, and
some of them say they do not in any
way fear the result of an act of con-
gress which, for instance, might say
that 5 per cent beer and 10 per cent
wine are moi Intoxicating. They say
the best possible exhibit for a court
which has to pass on the matter would
be the attested cas- of some man who
lad been drinking 5 per cent beer and
10 per cent wine, and who had been
picked up incapacitated.
The advocates of light wine and
beer say judges, like other people, are
human, and will take a human view.
end they add that the human view
is liberal. Therefore they say they
are not afraid of any decision which
the Supreme court might render con
corning an act of congress which fixed
what they call a moderate measure on
alcoholic content for beer and light
wines.
There has been a great amount OF
misunderstanding concerning this wet
and dry question. 1t seems to be
perfectly true that a great many
American citizens, men of supposed
intelligence, believe thet congress of
its own act can set aside Il conSti-
tutional amendment. Speeches which
came pretty close to being a specific
statement to this effect were made in
places during the recent campaign. II

country some of the voters actually

five years ago. The Civil war is a
more real event than 1t was when they
studied about 1t in their school history
or even when they heard it's tales as
told by those who had fought its bat
ties. AS they miss and mourn for their
own lost comrades, they realize a lit
tie the grief that the loss of thousands
in the other war brought TO every
community They have a reverence
for and a nearness to the aged vet
Grams that they did not have before,
and If they have imagination they will
look forward and see themselves adj

their own services will be remembered.
They may be sure that they will not
be forgotten. America never forgets
