WAR AGAINST UNION
OPENED BY TRIBUNE
In Wet EDITORIAL
Suggests Notification of Eighteenth
Amendment


The Chicago Tribune, famous as the
worlds wettest newspaper, on Janu-
airy 60 suggested that the Prohibition
law could be nullilieI by states in
which the law is not wanted. Al
though the Tribune has long been en-
gagged in advocating measures which
would in effect be notification it had
never before actually declared that
states could disregard the federal Con
stitution. The notification declaration
printed in a Tribune editorial reads
as follows:
people who are opposed to Prohi-
bition bitterly resent the meddling i'll
their lives, and they have real zeal
in breaking the law. Whole sections
of the country resent the law and COM
munities condone or applaud the dis
regard of it.
This might have been expected.
Prohibition is a dictation of one state
to another, of one, community to an
other, of one individual to another and
the sections dictated to, rebel. What
is to be done about it? For one thing
the federal government can cease try
ing TO enforce the law. 1t can allow
the Constitution to be annulled by
states which want to annul it. 1t
can cease making appropriations for
the official rum terriers. Then if a
state wants Prohibition it can have its
own law and enforcement. If one
does not want it there will be no en-
forcement. The Prohibition Amend
ment will remain in the Constitution
Many generations will find it there,
but it can be annullcd where il is not
wanted"
Following this notification declara-
ton the Tribune attempts to justify
its anti-union doctrine with the argu-
tecnth Amendments arc disregarded all
amendments may be.
Tribune Founders Principles Reversed
In Civil War days Joseph Medill,
founder OF the Chicago Tribune, was
one of the most active supporters OF
Abraham Lincoln and the Union. The
reputation of the Tribune was built on
loyalty to the Union. In his last let
ter to the Tribune Joseph Medill cx-
pressed his wishes as follows:
Il want the Tribune to continue to
be after | am gone as it has been I'M
der my directions, an advocate OF po-
litical and moral progress, and in all
things to follow the line OF common
sense. | desire the Tribune as party
organ never to be the supporter of
that party which sought to destroy
the American Union or that exats the
state above the nation
Now the Tribune, contrary to the
wishes of its founder, desires to exalt
the state above the nation on the ques-
ton OF Prohibition.
On Sunday, the day following the
appearance of the Tribunes nullihca-
ton editorial, mass meeting of pro-
test was held in the Englewood Meth
odist church in Chicago. Resolutions
condemning the Tribune editorial as
un-American and anarchistic were
passed and directed to be sent to all
churches in the city. This action was
reported in the Tribune and another
editorial on January % the Tribune's
earlier editorial pronouncement was
reiterated and supported with further
argument based on the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments.

GROUNDING MAY SEE SHADOW,
OR HE MAY NOT, BUT ANYWAY
ACOLD WAVE IS COMING TONIGHT
Will Be 20 to Is Below, Says
Weather Bureau And 1t
May Be 6 Weeks More OF
Cold Weather, Too

There may be six weeks more of
cold weather. Or there may not.
But it's going to be cold tonigh.
and tomorrow. There's no doubt
about that, the weather bureau says.
A cold wave is bearing down from
Montana and Canada, and it Will
push the mercury down to 20 or 70
below tonight, it is predicted.
But the question of whether or
not there's to be six weeks more
weather rests with the grounding.
And whether the grounding ventur-
ed out of his hole today is matter
of conjecture. No one has volunteer
ed to hunt him out.
He didn't see his shadow this
morning, and that was cheering news
to those who don't want six weeks
more Of cold weather. But even early
today the weather bureau said the
sun would be out in the afternoon
and he would see his shadow. And
it was out at p. m. The question
remains, however, as to whether the
groundhog's intellect was sufficient
to warn him that it was bound to
be more pleasant in his cozy hole
than out amid the swirling snow.
Those who believe implicitly in the
! groundhog's prognostication, were
sure he had enough intelligence to
merely stick his nose 1utside and
then retire, and in that event ne
wouldn't see his shadow. Those on
the other side of the controversy
held that anyone who would at
tempt to tell what the weather in
| North Dakota was going to be fol
any six weeks would be foolish
enough to get out in the worst bliz.

Be that as it may, the citizens
who struggled to work this morn
ing, with a wind of sc miles veloci.

about the next forty-eight hours

l5-month period of idleness. The
work was rushed as fast as it could
be done economically. The machin.
cry, for the most part, had already
been ordered and much of it fab
ricated and held in storage awaiting
orders for shipment. The elevator
and one unit of the mill were open
ed for business in the latter part o1
October and have been in operation
since that time, barring short peri
DDS when the machinery was shut
down to permit necessary change:
and adjustments to be made.
"The second unit will be complet
