Prohibition has been written into the
Constitution of the United States. The
supporters of prohibition won @ great
victory when the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution was ratified
by the States. 1t is a difficult Job,
indeed, to amend the Constitution. Re-
peal or drastic amendment of the Vol
stead act the prohibitory enforcement
law, which could be accomplished by
a majority vote of the two houses of
Congress and the approval of the
President, might be far easier.

the way of legislation; that succeed
ing Congresses and State Legislatures
may upset their work of years. Their
job is to make prohibition increasingly
popular among the people themselves,
SO that the laws may be more efficiently
enforced.
The next four years, instead of being
one of entire quiet with regard to
prohibition, are likely to be stormy.
The drys themselves are not satisfied
with the measure of prohibition en-
forcement in this country. The vets
insist that it is a Joke" President
Herbert Hoover has declared prohibi-
ton a noble experiment which must be
worked out constructively. 1t is clear
that the vets are girding for the fray
and they do not intend to let the
matter of expense stand in their way.

Judge and jury Congratulated
On Sending Kidnapers to Prison

Morgantown New Dominion, and that
paper says of the trial: THE two de-
PENDANTS had already kidnapped a little
boy and held him for $50 900 ransom
Members of their gang had demon
Strated that they would not hesitate to
kill in defense of their comrades.
Wouldn't you ponder moment about
the possibility that this gang might seek
you out, after the trial was over and
forgotten, and take shot at you or
put bomb under your house? We
agree with the judge. The jury did
show courage, and it deserves congratu-
whole country, in thus doing its part to
stamp out gang rule and terrorism"

"Chicago's subservience" to the gang
represented by the kidnapers is 0e-
nounced by the Muncie Star, which
feels that "the league of the politician
and the underworld has shackled the
hands of justice, and so bold have TIRE
criminals become that the gangster's
bullet has served as a terrible warning
to any who might wish to assert their
rights" The Star believes that the
menace of death could not continue

would demand the eradication of Eheae

upon the unhojy alliance with politics.

Great Issues Well Presented.

No one privileged to attend yester-
days session Of the Senate could escape
the impression that "the worlds great
est deliberative body" was giving a
worthy account of itself. The traditions
of a noteworthy past were vindicated
during the submission of the cruiser
bill and the Kellogg treaty by their re-
spective sponsors. Galleries were filed
with citizens come in expectation Of
red-Ietter day. They were not disap-
pointed. They saw great issues well pre-
sented.
Senator Hales demonstration Of the
necessity for aiding fifteen cruisers to
the United States Navy was unanswer-
able. 1t lacked nothing in force
because of the unspectacular manner in
which the Senate naval chairman
brought it to the chambers attention.
Mr.. Hale dealt with established facts,
incontrovertible figures and cold
blooded realities. There was no occa-
sion for lingo fireworks in his advocacy
of treaty strength" for the American
feet and he ignited none. He told
nearly the whole story when he ex-
planned that even if the ships for which
the bill provides were afloat the United
States Navy would still be inferior m
cruiser strength to the British Navy,
and therefore below the SIS ratio of
parity contemplated by the Washing
ton treaty. Senator Hale has done the
country a genuine service in portraying
its naval deficiencies and requirements
with convincing simplicity.
Senator Borah launched the Kellogg
treaty in that fashion which unfailingly
commands for the silver-tongued
Idahoan the ear not only of the Sen
ate, but of the Nation. As the foreign
relations chairman proceeded, the op-
position showed its hand-a hand that
seemed to be conscious of its impotency.
It's cardinal point was that as the multi
lateral pact does not impair the right
Of any signatory power to fight in self
defense, the treaty leaves the Damocle-
tian sword of war hanging over peace
craving universe.
Senator Borah does not dispute the
existence of that contingency, but ac-
curately diagnosed as "a weakness in
herent in human nature" the possibility
that nation might some day have re-
course to a war which others might
consider unjustihable. He was at pains
to make clear that the Kellogg pact is
nothing more, and nothing less, than a
covenanted pledge to restrain the
worlds belligerent passions, whenever
aroused, in favor of pacific settlement.
The foreign relations chairman said
something which deserves to be taken
to heart by the "anti-cruiser confer
ence" which is about to exercise its
misguided influence in Washington.
Senator Borah declared in un-
equivocal terms that nothing what
ever in the Kellogg treaty, stated or i'm
piled, relieves the United States, or any
other country, of the iron duty of main
tanning adequate national defense.

Poets Advantage.

Poets Advantage.
I heard a workman, passing by,
Who said II do not blame the guy
Who writes what he calls poetry
IT have to trudge in snow or sleet
And saw or with a hammer beat,
To earn my daily bread and meat
while he sits there on a stout chail
Protected from the wintry air
And runs his fingers through his hail
while setting many hearts a-throb,
Although of gainless toll he'll sob
At least he has an Inside job"
