THIS is ARMAGEDDON!

The battle of prohibition has
net been lost. 1t is just decid-
ed that there is to be one. The
submission of a repeal amend
ment to the states, by a two
thirds vote of both houses of
congress, comes as near as pos
sible under existing conditions
to putting the question where
it belongs-that is, in the
hands of the people.
Tie action of congress, how
ever, does not place the ques-
ton before the people in the
fairest form. 1t was not franz
ed for the purpose Of killing
prohibition. The Democratic
national convention, backing
and backed by it's presidential
candidate, promised to bring
about repeal if it could. Here
is the first serious step in the
fulfilment of that promise. 1t
puts the question to the people
not in the form most conducive
to a solution of the liquor prob
lem by whatever plan may be
the most satisfactory to the
most people, but in the form
likeliest to bring the answer
desired by those who framed
the question.
1t is not to be considered as
an article of faith that prohibit
ton in it's present form is the
last word of wisdom. Some
better plan may be found, and
the friends of temperance and
sobriety need not shun any
fairly conducted comparison of
prohibition with any proposed
substitute for it. But a vote on
repeal without a substitute,
sprung on the country in an
hour of depression, and con-
Quoted under the auspices and
supervision of an agency which
is already committed to one
side of the case, is no fair ap-
peal to public opinion. Again
st the repeal of prohibition by
any such means and under
such conditions, we shall fight
to the limit of our powers.

THE adjectives long have become familiar
they trudged painfully around Monument
Circle they hobbled bravey through the
rain and mist behind the flag that flew above
Round Top at Gettysburg or luttered in the
battle smoke over the Valley of Virginia"
The ranks of Indiana C. A. R. have
dwindled to a handful. But these veterans of
the war between the States hold tightly to
their ancient glories and their comradeShipS
wearing their forage caps of the SOS. 1t is the
same in France and Germany and England, in
Italy and Turkey and other countries.
Wars breed their heroes and the heroes
become old men, with their stories which few
care to hear. They smoke their pipes and in
the smoke dream their ancient dreams, seeking
the solace of a thing that has fed.
This is a characteristic Of war 1t creates
a camaraderie that men like to preserve as an
emotional crutch.
But there has grown up difference in the
outlook Of crops of soldiers. Perhaps virtually
every living soldier of the Civil war identifies
himself proudly with that war. But the
millions who engaged in the last great
encounter include large percentage who forty
or fifty years from now will not care to don
their ancient military regala. They will not
march in the rain braveIy
They may be sitting in old folks homes or
in armchairs discussing the folly of the great
encounter. But, better still, it is to be hoped
that war will have become so rare in the next
half century that the boys who wore the khaki
in France and in our own cantonments will
need other glories to sustain their reveries in
their last days.
