HERE IS AN AUTHORITY
And Tells Why the Supreme Court
Will Reverse the Clark
Decision

Five reasons why he believes the SUI
prene court of the United States will not
declare ratification of the Eighteenth
Amendment void was stated one day re-
Gently by Prof. Edwin S. Corwin, of the
politics department of Princeton univer-
sity. Prof. Corwin is authority on con-
stitutional law. Here are his five rea-
sons:
although ratified only by legislatures,
it was ratified by forty-six out of the
forty-eight states.
1.-THE supreme court has said at least
three times that ratification of the amend
ment was valid.
"All amendments to the constitution
have, heretofore been ratified by the same
method as the Eighteenth Amendment.
''The supreme court has never declared
any part of the constitution void and is
not likely to face the great risk of doing
SO for the first time in connection with
the Eighteenth Amendment.
1.-THE proposition on which Judge Clark
relies would, if consistently applied, in
validate the ratification of all the amend
ments of the constitution, since and in
Guiding the thirteenth"

NATIONAL REFERENDUM
As Proposed by Vets 1t Would be
Nothing More Than a Farce

Many newspapers known to be favor
able to the return of liquor are agitating
for a national referendum on the queS-
ton of prohibition.
Neither these newspapers nor the wet
camp have announced the nature of the
question TO be submitted.
Neither have they explained how the
machinery is to be set in motion under
which the states would be compelled To
take the straw vote.
Neither Go they explain how the result
of such vote could be made binding.
The Eighteenth Amendment was added
to the constitution in the manner pre-
scribed by that instrument.
It can be amended or repealed only by
following the constitutional method.
What justification is there for the eX-
penditure of the public money in holding
national referendum which means
nothing?
IF such a referendum were held and the
result was against the vets, would they
abide by such result and give their al
legiance to the dry law?
They did not do SO in local option con-
tests when the laws regulated such cleo
tons.
straw vote would be national farce
and would accomplish nothing.
The Eighteenth Amendment became
part OF the federal constitution In a reg
ular and legal way, and it can be repealed
only in regular and legal way,

INCREASED APPROPRIATION ASKED TO PROVIDE FOR
ADDITIONAL AGENTS
Commissioners Woodcock Plans Agen
in Field

An immediate increase of $50 dry agents
in the prohibition bureaus field service
was recommended to the house today in
the first deficiency appropriation bill,
states an Associated Press Dispatch,
carrying Washington D. c., date line of
January 5.
The measure, reported by the appropri-
alton committee, carried $543,370 for the
bureau. Besides the additional agents,
who are the first of 500 requested by Di-
rector Woodcock for the next fiscal year,
it would provide 43 investigators, "a in
structorS and more than so miscellaneous
employees.
In Woodcock's opinion this first group
Of 1870 could be absorbed before July l. At
the present time the bureau has about
400 agents.
OF the allotment, $343 300 for the agents
and instructors represents increased &C
tivities Of the bureau. while S2G0,eT0 is
due to reorganization following the trans
fer of the bureau from the treasury to
the justice departments.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1931-01-01

"Our organization right now is de-
pleted in agents places" Woodcock stated
before the committee. We have about
1 400 today That is probably a great deal
short of what is the normal complement.
This 80 is the estimate of the number
that we can get in and get appointed.
we have said that we will put five of
them in the New England district; % in
New York; IS in the Third district, in
GLIDING Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware; II in the Fourth district which
is the district in which Washington is To-
Gated; 10 in the Fifth district; IL in the

WHAT HAPPENED
When VETS of Montana Tried to
Defeat Dry Candidates at
the Polls

We are told that during this Iaii's po-
litical campaign in Montana the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amendment
carried advertisements daily in the six
teen daily newspapers in that state, urg-
ing voters to vote against dry candidates
and made United States Senator Walsh
the center of its attack.
What happened on election day follow
ing this wet bombardment?
Senator Walsh was reelected, carrying
fifty-four of the fifty-slx counties over
his Republican opponent and losing the
two counties by a narrow margin.
Congressman John NJ. Evans Demo-
crat, with dry record, defeated Mark
Fitzgerald Republican, advocate of re-
peal. Evans carried fifteen out of seven
teen counties.
In the Second district dry Republican
defeated wet Democrat, carrying thirty
out of thirty-nine counties.
And now that every wet candidate was
defeated, the wet campaign leaders say
prohibition was not an issue in the cleo
ton.
United States Senator Walsh is one of
the outstanding dry leaders of the senate
and his defeat was especially desired by
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment.

WILL JOLT DRYS
Judge Clark's Decision Against Dry
Amendment Will End Dry
Lethargy

According TO dispatch from Washing
ton, dry leaders hope the ruling of Judge
Clark, of New Jersey, in declaring the
Eighteenth Ament unconstitutional, will
be the long sought explosion that will jar
supporters of the prohibition law out Of
their lethargy.
Politically, the dry leaders are hopeful
that the effect of the decision in rallying
their forces will be as far reaching as they
believe the actual judicial effect of the
Clark ruling will be unimportant Second
thought on the matter and the prompt
action of the department of justice in
preparing to appeal the Clark decision
has convinced drys in Washington they
have no ground fer apprehension, but
that the decision Of Federal Judge Clark
is an isolated judicial view not likely TO
be taken seriously by higher court.
The appeal frem Judge Clarks decision
was taken straight to the supreme court.
This was done under the statute which
authorizes such an appeal from a decision
quaShing an indictment on the ground of
the invalidity Of the statute upon which
1t is founded. The supreme court will be
requested to set the case down for early
argument, according to the department
Of justice.

ONTARIO IN REVOLT
Dry Organizations May Combine
and Form New Party

A special dispatch from Toronto, On
tario, to the CIeVeldrd Plain Dealer says
it is predicted by prominent drys and
farm leaders of Canada that prohibit
ton party in Ontario will soon be formed
having back of it the UNITED Farmers of
Ontario as it's main reliance.
This action is considered more than
possible by reason Of the dropping Of the
dry plank by the liberal party which
makes a situation which is likely to Gre
ate the new party. One of the dry leaders
says its first step will be to stand for
free expression Of opinion by the electors
of Ontario on the liquor question-free
from being tied up with any party policy.
There is a strong action of the liberal
party which requests the dropping of the
dry plank and there are plenty Of con-
servatives who are sorry their party is
tied up to the booze business. There will
probably be fusion of the United Farm
ers of Ontario with the Ontario Temper
ance Union, the w. G. T. u, and other
temperance organizations.

A GRIST FROM GRIT

Grit is temperance publication which,
comes from New South Wales and each
publication carries "grist" of brilliant
utteranceS that are very much worth
while. Here are few samples:
The Cat Saloon
DANGER-A cat has nine hves-so it
is commonly supposed. You have only one
life; don't risk it on a bottle"
The Right Label
ALCOHOL is not liquid bread. It is
only poison water"
A Community Liability
THE MAN who drinks little is worth
less-the man who drinks a lot is worth
nothing. Drink makes a human asset into
a community liability"
Prohibition Successful
FORD says that enforcement is go per
cent efficient. Thousands die every year
in our hospitals. Tens OF thousands are
killed annually by car accidents. Thou
sands OF places are burnt to the ground
every year. Our state railways are run
ming millions into debt. Prohibition is
more successful than a hospital, IRE
brigade, motor car or state railway"

A TELLING POINT

In discussing the liquor problem in the
United States a prominent Englishman
rendered a telling point when he said
those who favor repeal Of the prohibition
law would help our cause by outlining
program for the sale Of liquor which would
save the country from the corrupt influ-
ences of the brewers, distillers and retail
dealers, which he asserted was the great
est evil of the whole system. But could
such evils be ayerted by any law which
might be enacted when it is remembered
liquor men never obey any regulation
adopted TO curb their laWlessness.

A SORRY SPECTACLE
Money Given to Unemployed in De-
troit is Spent for Liquor

The good people of Detroit who give
money to provide food for needy families
this winter are shocked to find that at
least some Of the money is being spent in
buying bootleg liquor.
The situation was brought to the atten-
ton of the officials of Detroit by Judge
Skillman when from the bench he deliv-
cred a scathing rebuke to ten men and
one woman who pleaded guilty to intoXi-
cation The eleven admitted they had
purchased their liquor with tickets given
them by the welfare department. to buy
food and lodging. More than 100 cases
like this have come before this court in
the last ten days." Judge Skillman said.
He was backed by police who made the
arrests who said the practice was wide
spread. Often it was revealed bootleggers
took their position just outside welfare
department. stations. The hootleggers
cashed the tickets, representing them
selves as restaurant owners who are tax
ing the slips in payment for food.

WHAT A DOCTOR SAYS

DR.. r. S. Campbell, practicing ply
sician of Pennsylvania, writes the follow
ing which was published in the PhiIodel-
pl1io Ledger:
Some thirty years ago began prac-
ticing medicine in small mining town
with two saloons in full blast. I soon
learned the cause Of a lot of the poverty
which encountered on my daily rounds
among the people. When I went in a
home and saw a long-necked bottle of
whisky on the table and the children cry
ing for something to eat, came to the
conclusion that that was the best EVIL
dence 7 needed to fight the booze gang
and 7 have been at it ever since. If some
Of these so-called vets were to have
travelled with me in those days I think
they would have had all the evidence they
desire as to the wonderful Improvements
since prohibition has been established.

GOLDMAN IN CINCINNATI

Julian Goldman, of Boston, national ex-
ecutive commander Of the Crusaders, wet
organization was in Cincinnati couple
of weeks ago and attended a luncheon
held by Cincinnati Crusaders.
Not liquor but states rights, is the OBJ
jective of the Crusaders, according to Mr..
Goldman, but he admits the Crusaders are
sponsoring the return Of beer and wine,
and are urging that the individual states
shall determine whether they shall have
these things. Goldman will not deny that
the Crusaders are for booze and it is the
reason they are for states rights-a prin-
ciple which resulted in the Civil War, and
which was Shot to death by the boys in
blue.

A MIRACULOUS RESCUE

The three transatlantic filters who
left the Portuguese coast more than a
week ago and from whom nothing
had been heard for several days have
been rescued by a freighter within
200 miles of the Newfoundland coast.
Engine trouble caused the plane to
land in the sea where the men, Chris
tian Johannsen, Wilhelm Rody and
Ferdinand Costa Vega, floated on the
wreckage of their plane for six days.
This rescue will go down in history
as the most timely and miraculous
since it will be seen that the ele-
ments must have favored the ma
rooned men tremendously in allowing
the frail wreckage of an airplane to
keep them afloat during so long a
time.
The world will rejoice in the good
fortune that brought about the rescue
and since they almost spanned the At
lantic before disaster befell them
they should feel doubly glad them
selves and amply rewarded for their
efforts.
While we have said before in these
columns that all flights across the
ocean now, unless accomranfe by
some purpose which will go to fur
Their safety in aviation are foolhardy,
it is with deep pleasure that the res
cue of these men is recorded.

Germany from larger PREPARATIONS.
Our bankers have actually loaned
Germany $4,000, 100000 and now they
must loan her more in the hope of
saving what they have previously
loaned.
1.-The nations which became allies
to reduce Germany to impotency are
allied again to keep her a world pow
er and a member of the family of ma
tiOns.
There were two reasons, he said,
for this extraordinary change of
front. First, the nations interested
want trade and PREPARATIONS from Ger
many.
''But even more important" said
the Senator, ''they are fighting the
spread of a method for putting a GER
tain idea into practical operation.
What is that idea? 1t is the idea
that the poor, the ignorant, and the
unfortunate should have more of the
good things of life than they have
had in the past, and especially than
they have today"

WAS THERE A MOTIVE?

Recently Henry Ford, automobile
magnate, issued an order to the effect
that each one of his Michigan en-
ployes must maintain a garden. This
order has not set so we'll with the
farmers in that section. According
to report issuing from a mass meet
ing of the Baraga Grange a resolution
was entered to take steps to have Mr..
Ford rescind that order.
1t is not known what prompted Mr..
Ford to issue the order in the first
place, but two things might have been
responsible. One might have been the
idea that a garden would teach his
men to make good use of their spare
time. The other might have been
Ford's way of passing a part of the
responsibility for their living which
he conscientiously felt. Whether
either is the case it is apparent that
the farmers are fearful that when
several thousands of families take up
the production of their own vegetables
it will have an effect on their own
livelihood.
Concerning the latter case if it
were possible for Mr.. Ford to furnish
steady employment to his employees
at a fair living wage they would not
need to infringe so much on the farm
ers' domain and in this way he would
be offering fair means of both labor
and farm relief. At any rate it would
be Interesting tn know inst wha :
prompted the garden order.
