Three Million for a Referendum

Three is enough. We refer them to the Con-
stution of the United States 1t tells them how to re-
peal amendment Just follow the method OF adop-
ton and the proposition that is all.
This referendum is sponsored by group OF political
"has beens,' like Senator Wadsworth, a member of
the L. S. Senate. He said New York Republicans
wet, and they repudiaed him and the statement to-
geher.
John Philip Hill in Congress and claimed that
Maryland and the United States wet, and he
resident of Baltimore, could make booze for himself
and his friends Maryland told him to take his bottle
OF wine and "skdoo."
So since there is for Senator Wadsworth and
Congressman Hill to go cunning for seats in congress
any longer they have into the back woods to hunt
referendums Nicholas Murray Butler and Senator
Edge give these hunters their berry blessing they
start. Capt. Stayton is their trusty guide-to oblivion.

Prohibition Planks in Party Platforms

We consider this suggestion an unWlSe one ana WISH
to call the attention of friends to two consdera-
tions First for the drys go to the parties and ask
them to put dry p1anks in their platforms is definitely
backward step 1t deals with the question as mere
matter OF policy still under discussion. But policy is
one thing and the Constitution OF the United States is
another.
When question of procedure or OF policy is the
hustings discussion fair subject for party platforms,
but when it mbedded in the constitution OF the Unit
ed States politically it is longer debatable ques-
ton. 1t has ceased to be policy and become prin-
Cipe of government.
Therefore when any drys advocate putting pro-
hbition plank in the party platform they proposing
the return Of conditions that prevailed before 1920 We
must think clearly this and adhere absolutely
to the idea that constitutional principle is longer
matter OF partisan discussion If either party wanted to
declare for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment it would
be correct put such plank in their platform But 1t
would be incorrect for any party put in plank in favor
OF prohibition As long part OF the Constitution OF
the United States all they need do is to declare their
loyalty to the Constitution a whole and when they
do that, they stand for prohibition 1t would be en-
tirely proper for them insert plank insisting upon
the loyalty the Constitution and the enforcement of
all its provisions
The point however, is that the only word that the
parties favorng prohibition can correctly this
time is enforcement This is fundamental in the
sideraon of the whole subject and to lose sight OF and
ask for anything except enforcement OF the Consttu-
ton and all of its provisions is to take step backwards
1t really a proposal to do again what
we have already done.
A second consideration and matter of practical
politics. is one which have called attention to be-
fore, but which is perhaps deserving of repetition,
namely since large proportion OF the drys in the South
are Democrats and in the North Republicans, If the
prohibition plank put in the Republican party plat
form, it would make it difficult for the South
Democrats for the support of the principle
than is now and vice versa if the Democrats put it
into their PLATFORM it would make it difficult for
Republicans for it than it is at present Ii both
parties inserted prohibition plank in their platforms,
we would still be complete lap behind the Con-
stitution rather than up with it.
So we suggest to dry friends who insisting
the prohibition plank in the party platforms, that
they carry their analysis OF the situation little farther
and instead of asking for prohibition pank which will
be the whole hard get, they should insist the
enforcement plank which will be easy to get 1t will
put them thoroughly in line with the needs OF the stu
alton and will involve discussion of the prohibition
question which some people still regard debatable,

Selecting Your Next States Attorn y

1t isn't too early for the forces interested in the vital
issue OF law enforcement begin think about the
ddates to be nominated in the approaching primary
election.
In every county States Attorney will be nominated,
and elected in the general election four years
Under the Constitution and laws of this state the
States Attorney has a very broad discretion in institu
ing and handling The basic theory of the Hi
nois government in this regard is that States At
torney should be unhampered in his judgment and
tives and should be accountable only the people OF
his county election day.
Being clothed with such fusome authority under the
law candidates for this office should be given the most
careful scrutiny No officer in the holds within his
power so much of veal for his constituents He
is the verabe guardian of the homes and fresides of
his county He can either vigorously ferret out and
prosecute volaors OF law he shut his eyes anil
permit the lawess elements to prey upon the youth
and the homes of the county.
All honor to the States Attorneys, of whom Illinois
can proudly boast of a goodly number, who regard their
oaths of office as sacred trust They indeed min
listers of God in high places. Those who have faced the
firing line of the vicious and criminal elements unAinch
ingy with eye single to the highest interests OF their
constituents should receive the active support and pro-
lection OF the forward looking citizenship if they again
seek the office This kind OF States Attorney will GER
tanly have to run the gauntlet OF the unscrupuous OPP
position and political power of the gang whom he has
refused to follow. There is tragedy quite so great
in our political lie the sacrifice OF such
the hands OF the enemies of good government due
the ethargy and indifference OF so-cal1ed good citizens
The last Illinois Legislature enacted a law increasing
considerable extent the salaries of States Attorneys
1t should be possible for the counties Of TO
demand higher calbre lawyers, strong in character and

The Church in Politics

Inc AnurCn III OAtCS
Politics is the science of government Government is
the greatest work in the world 1t is the work of God
One of His titles is Ruler of Nations" Self-govern-
ment is the nobest achievement OF the human spirit The
Bible says, Better is he that rueth his spirit than
he that taketh city"
If government Gods task in the Universe and mans
highest achievement in his SOUL why should the
government of group instead of individual, be
any less noble an achievement? Or why should it be
regarded as anything but God-like pursuit Society is
made up of Individuals and if it is notable spiritual
achievement for man to govern his own spirit it is
equally notable for society group of individuals, to
govern its social relations, exercise restraint evil
impulses and cherish and develop social idealism
This is the object of government. 1t is to maintain
righteousness and justice between and and
lead continually improved conditions OF COM
fort safety and hope.
Politics is the general applied the struggle for
self-expression which takes place in a popura
ton seeking realize conflicting ideas of government
The ideas of those who from low selfish motives
and the ideas of those who act from motives which aim
the general good reach level that deter
mines character in a community.
To consider that the church has place in politics.
is utterly to misunderstood her duty in the premises
That builds wall between the church and her highest
duty The churchs duty is admittedly, to guide the
individual in the pathway of Righteousness. II that
be true, why is it less honorable guide the
y in righteousness with all that that phrase involves
The community is suffering incidentally from the
failure of the church at this point Too long have
passed from lip lip the shallow that the
church must be kept out of politics, that politics
dirty and church cannot enter politics without
dehing himself Insofar that true the fault lies at
the door of the church and not elsewhere This is
in conflict with the belief in the separation of church
and state. That church government and civil govern
should be kept separate, is correct principle.
Church government is primarily not for the main
of peace and order among the members re-
gion supposed to maintain that Ecclesiastical govern
is primarily for the maintenance OF purity OF doc
trine and the guarding of the sources OF Inspiration
But civil government much oftier thing than Eccle
siastcal government and is truly a business of the
church We might illustrate in simple way by say
ing that Ecclesiastical government is keeping the
in order that it we'll and civil government is
the load which the should carry
The Bible says, Righteousness exalteh a nation"
The church is the great agency for the promotion of
righteousness 1t is not only for the discovery of
what is righteous, but guide in " practice OF it.

when when the Church considers active SER

Here's a Suggestion

Why not write Mr.. Z. c. Yel1owey, Prohibition
Administrator of the State of illinois, Transportation
Bldg, Chicago, H., and ask him what you do to
help secure better enforcement in your locality?
If enforcement is poor and the law is being violated,
inform government leaders that the good citizens of
this community ready to back them up and will fol-
low their leadership. Instead of getting the Federal
to help the County Attorney, suggest to the
county attorney and sheriff that they invite the Federal
into the county lead in cleaning up booze joints
and moonshinng rendering the services of the local
officers in every way possible make the work OF the
federal men effective.
1t is belief that this kind of cooperation would
bring much better results and establish much
satisfactory relation between the enforcement bod

Not All Can Worihily

History is full of instances of men
OF whom it has been said: The man
tie of Elijah descended upon him"
1t means that he was a worthy sue
cessor of some still more famous mas
ter. For instance, Pitt the Younger
worthily succeeded to the mantle OF
his father, the famous earl Of Chat

Cromwell quite failed to wear the man.

The phrase is obviously Biblical.
When Elijah the prophet went up by
a whirlwind into heaven" the mantle
with which he had divided the waters
of the River Jordan fell from his
shoulders. Elisha, his servant and
successor picked up the fallen cloak.
for 1t seemed TO him that 1t would
serve to prove whether he was true
successor or net.
The story goes on: 'He took the
mantle of Elijah which fell from him
and smote the waters and they
parted hlther aud thither; and Elisha
went over And when the sons of the
prophets saw him, they said,
The spirit of Elijah doth rest on
Elisha"

Small Tribe Resists
Domination of Russia

Though technically a part Of the
old Roman empire under the rule of
the czars, the Russians in reality
never conquered Svanetia, which has
been occupied by an isolated mountain
tribe occupying small area In the
heart of the Caucasus mountains. The
Svanetian state, supposed to have
been founded nearly 1000 years ago,
has been republic ever since, MAX
ing 1t the oldest republic In the world.
In 1921, when the Communists extend
ed their power along the Black sea,
they decided to attempt to conquer
Svanetia. The Swans sent delega-
ton down to warn the troops that 1t
would be vain for them to try to break
through the mountain barrier. The
Russian captain refused to take heed.
He went through southern Svanetia
without trouble. With his battalion
of 400 men marching single file along
the trail he came to the almost path
less route on the cliffs overhanging
the River INCUR, and there was
trapped. Forty Swans grouped on the
opposite bank of the river, shot down
the 400 Russian troops. Later, how
ever. the Russians entered Svanetia
by using machine guns, but 1t was an
empty victory for them, because the
Swans never have yielded to outside
