portation or expectation OF beverages
which are not in fact Intoxicating as de
termined in accordance with the laws of
the respective states?'
What does it mean? 1t is difficult to
tell. You can only speculate. Its authors
have never undertaken to explain TO the
public its meaning or to advise the voters
how it can be carried into effect.
"If this scheme could be put into eff
feet, forty-eight states would construe the
Federal Constitution, and the federal
authorities would have to accept the forty
eight constructions. We might have
forty-eight different standards of intoxi-
eating liquor and forty-eight different
liquor. Each state would have the right
to ship its brand OF liquor into every other
state.
The federal government would be
placed i'll the position of conniving at this
condition and compelled to sit silent and
supine, while confusion reigned supreme
over the PROSTATE and discredited form OF
the Federal Constitution. Although the
federal government is the defender and
the interpreter of the Federal Constitution,
abdicate, to surrender and leave all to the
states. This is constitutional anarchy.
Sees Notification Revived
"If this referendum nterrogatory has
any meaning at all it is that every state
shall determine for itself its own construc-
ton OF and obligation to the Constitution
OF the United States, and that construc-
ton is to bind the federal government.
That doctrine was shot to death at the
Battle Of the Wilderness. A reunited and
disenthraled and happy nation has put it
behind us for all time Now, what these
advocates of the referendum want, when
they speak canddly and plainly, is the
right to sell and transport Intoxicating
liquor. What they want is to transfer the
control of this question to the states, and
these things they want to do by nulliiying
the Constitution instead of amending IT.
The only way to meet the proposition
which they have in mind is to submit, il
they wish to employ referendum, the
question of whether we shall amend the
onstituton-submit it in the way pro-
vided by the Constitution. That is not
only the candid way, but the only effec-
tive way to deal with the subject.
The vote of the people upon the issue
should not exempt candidates and leaders
from declaring their positions upon this
question. A candidate who has no con-
viction upon this question and no position
to announce before the election will likely
betrav both sides after the election. The

asked 10 entrust great public responsible
ity. This, and all other great problems OF
state, demand men with convictions before
as we'll as after the election.
I'VE are advised by the newspapers
that III one great state they are hunting
for candidate for Governor who has no
view on this liquor question and who has
never expressed himself. They overlook
one qualification. Their candidate should
not only have no views on the subject, but
he should be incapable of forming or en-
tertaining any views He would be an
ideal candidate in this spasm OF referen-
dums.
while we are voting referendums ard
talking relerendums, lets not overlook the
positions of the candidates. II the people
should consent to go to the polls and vote
upon a referendum without knowing the
views of candidates for Governor, for
Representatives and for Senators, they
would be simply Illuminating in the air.
Assails Modification Proposals
an the beginning of the controversy the
cry was for modification of the Nolstead
which they set sail. Let us suppose that
we should modify the Nolstead act so that
II would give larger percentage, but still
Notwithstanding, as, OF course, we would
have to do if we would keep within the
Constitution. Whom would this satisfy?
The arguments which are now being
advanced by the modi6cationists disclose
very clearly that ii would satisfy no one
They are not arguments for modification.
They are arguments for the notification
OF the Eighteenth Amendment, for total
disregard of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Their contention now is that the ma
tional government should not undertake
to deal with the liquor problem, that the
matter should be left entirely to the states.
Is that modification? Can that change be
brought about except in fiat violation of
the Eighteenth Amendment? The last
proposition is that the government should
manufacture and sell liquor. Is that a
change of percentage?
1--WE are told day after day that prohbi--
ton is failure, that the Eighteenth
Amendment is destroying our govern
ment, that it is wiping out the line of
demarkation between the national govern
ment and the states. These are the argu-
ments now. Are these arguments Tor
modification?
1--WE ought not to permit ourselves 10
be deceived as to the issue. The issue IS
one which cannot be met by modification.
The issue is one which can be met only
by dealing directly with the Eighteenth
Amendment The question is fairly and
square,y presented to the American peo-
pie: Whether we will enforce the, Eight
zenith Amendment, repeal it or nullify it.
The latter is the course which is now
being urged-boldly urged-by those who
are urging referendums in the states, 10
leave the construction and execution Of
the Eighteenth Amendment to the states.
1t is perfectly clear that that which is de-
manded can be secured only in one OF two
ways, either by repeal OF the Eighteenth
Amendment or, its complete and shameless
violation, its utter notification. That is
the issue That being the issue, there is
only one course for a great and law-abid-

tuition we see fit to change it? Can we
ately made? 1t is perhaps as definite and
specific a challenge of our love for the
Constitution, our capacity for self-govern-
ment, as could be presented to our people.
| am infinitely more concerned about the
willingness and ability of our people to
meet that test than | am about the liquor
traffic, brutal and ruthless as know it to
be. The supreme test of free government
is the right of the people to write and un-
write its Constitution and its laws. The
supreme test of good citizenship is to obey
the Constitution and the laws when writ
ten. To disregard our Constitution, to
evade it, to nulify it, while still refusing
to change it, is to plant the seeds of de-
struction in the heart of the nation-is to
confess before the world that we have
neither the moral courage nor the intel
lectual sturdiness for self government.
Would Scrap Constitution
"If the people want to take the Eight
eenth Amendment out of the Constitution
in the only constitutional way it can be
taken out, if they want to turn this prob
lem back to the state, and believe that to
be the wiser course, that is their unques-
toned right. But so long as it stands,
speaking for myself, l would kick into
the waste basket any referendum which
would compromise either in letter or in
spirit with its execution

Senator Borah's Lyric address in part
the Eighteenth Amendment as follows:
The manufacture, sale or transport
tation of Intoxicating liquors within, the
importation thereof into, or the exporta-
ton thereof from the United States and
all territory subject to the jurisdiction
thereof for beverage purposes is hereby
prohibited
This is the law of the land" continued
the Senator. 1T is part of the charter
OF government under which we live. Its
terms are comprehensive, complete, ex-
acting and impossible of misunderstood
ing The question is now raised: What
are we going to do about this provision in
our Constitution?
Liquor a Curse
81 believe the liquor traffic to be
curse to the human family. Whether sold
in the open saloon or the brothel, its
natural haunt, or secretly purveyed in
defiance of law, the wicked stuff works
its Generalization and ruin to individuals,
communities and states.
From the time it issues from the coled
and copper olored worm in the dstillery
until it empties in the hell of crime, dis
honor and death, misery and poverty and
remorse mark its maedct course. Not
only is the record of the centuries made
up against it, but now the modern indus
trial world with its complex and delicate
machinery, with its demand for security,
safety and fitness, asks that it be ban
ished
The man in the automobile may be
opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment,
but he will instantly discharge drinking
chauffeur. The train may be crowded with
delegates to the anti-prohibition conven-
ton, but they would mob the engineer
who would take drink while drawing his
precious freight. The industrial magnate
may talk critically of sumptuary laws, but
he will apply them like despot to the
man who watches over the driving power
OF his vast establishment. When safety
is involved we are all drys. Where the
exigency OF modern life demands clear
brain and instant decision in order to
save thousands OF lives and millions OF
property, we are all dry.
Greater Question at Stake

liquor question is the capacity OF the

LEAGUE CANNOT
 ACCEPT TERMS
American Reservations IInpOs-
 Sible, Greek Declares

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 2 (P The American reservation to joining the world court providing that no case involving the United States shall be submitted to the court without the consent of the senate, is impossible of acceptance to. the league of nations, NJ. Nicho- las Politis, Greek minister to France, said today.
 This fact does not preclude the possibility of American entrance to the court, however, for M Politis said he believed a compromise measure might be arrived at, and the possibility of friction avoided through arbitration.
 It was a mistake for the secre- tary general of the league to invite the American government to par ticipate in the discussion of the United States reservations by the league council, NJ. Politis asserted.
 There is no lessening of the de- sire of Europeans to have the United States in the court" said M. Politis. "The only question is how America will cooperate in the election of judges and sharing ex- penses of the court. It is not in difference on the part of Euro peans that has prevented ratifica- ton of the United States entry into the court, but simply governmental ! difficulties that have precluded ac- tion"
 Europe Still Hopes So far as American entrance into 1 the league itself is concerned. M Politis believes that Europe con- tinues to hope. for that. but think! | that public opinion in this country ! is not yet ready for political CO operation with Europe.
 Tt is matter of evolution of that opinion" he said.
 Questioned as to the stability O l present European governments, NJ | Rolitis expressed the opinion that the dictatorships now in force arc the result of the economic up. ] heaval, and that when this has 1 been adjusted the trend will be to ward democracy.
 'The democracies of Europe O the future will follow the American ! system, rather than the parliamen tary system," he said. They vii tend to place more power in tn, hands of the executive, while mak. ing him more directly responsibl, to the people,"
 The Balkans, he added, haC ceased 10 be turbulent and the new trend of power from the aristocrac! | to the peasants has been accom-
 panied by a movement toward t;
