FIGHTING TIE CONSTITUTION

There are not a few people who
have permitted their enthusiasm
for prohibition to destroy their
perspective on matters OF govern.
mcnt. Those who are afflicted in
this way are dcclaiming against
movements for the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment or the modi-
tiCatiOn within the limits OF that
amendment of statutes enacted for
its enforcement rs attacks on the
constitution, with all of malign-
ancy which that implies.
The eighteenth amendment was
enacted in accordance with the pro
visions contained in the constitu~
ton itself for the amendment of
that document. In making prOV.s-
ion for constitutional amendments
those who framed it recognized
that the constitution was not Il
finished and perfect document, APP
pIicable to all conditions for all
time, but that the people might
properly wish from time to time to
add to, substract from or modify
its provisions.
Those who worked for the cigh
tcCnth amendment were quite with
in their rights, as were those of {"
different opinion. 1t would scarce
ly be profitable at this time to re-
view the conditions under which
the amendment was promoted and
adopted, or how nearly it came 70
express ne the actual will OF the
people of the United States. 1t is
pretty certain that if all the people
could have looked ahead--as some
did-and forcsecn clearly the con-
ditions which prevail today, the
adoption Of the amendment won! |
not have been allowed to go by
default. However, the amendmen;
was adopted according to constitu-
tional forms, and it is now law.
But the people who now work
Cor the repeal of the amendment
arc no more fighting the consttu-
ton than were those who few
years ago sought to change that
document by inserting in it some
thing that its founders had not
placed there. Those in favor of
the amendment a few years sought
to change the constitution, and did
'hangc IT. Tie other now seek to
change it back and they are equal
ly within their constitutional rights
in making that effort. The fact
that For various reasons there is
little probability of their success
does not change the legality of
their effort at all.--Grand Forks
