WELL RID OK SUCH PATRIOTS
It may bo that the report coming
from Hnzclton Pennsylvania to the
effect that more tlinn two hundred
Austrlans Italians and Russians havo
applied for transportation back to
their respective countries because tho
National Prohibition amendment was
ratified Is a story inspired by tho
liquor interests in the expectation
that It will react favorably for tho dis-
ci edited booze business. .
On the other hand it Is altogether
within the range of possibility that
tho story is true.
It has been the eperlonco 6f cities
nnd states which havo voted dry that
some undesirables have left such
territory with tiio closing of the
saloons.
The fact Is there aro certain oc-
cupations which cannot bo followed
with profit except In tho atmospheru
of tho saloon.
Those engaged In such occupations
together with sonio saloon-kcepdrs
make up the number who have left
thu dry communities.
It may work the same way on a na
tion-wide scale.

Any man who thinks more of booze
and of the institution Hint makes and
sells. It with all its attendant evils
than he does of this country ought to
bo given his passports Instaner

THE DISTILLERSVATTACK ON
THE FEDERAL DRY AMEND-
MENT Nothing could better exemplify tho
lawless character of tho liquor traffic
and utter contempt for all laws than
tho distillers' proposed attack on the
federal dry amendment. This meas-
ure in tho opinion of the highest
legal authorities in the land has been
duly ratified by forty-four states
eight more than the required number
and has been proclaimed by federal
authorities as an Integral part ot the
Constitution ot the United Stnt'es.
Do these distillers many of whoso
names or so un-American as to be
unpronounceable by nn ordinary per-
son show any disposition whatever to
accept this verdict of tho overwhelm
ing majority of tho American people?
By no means! They propose to wage
a light backed by a million dollars
against the Constitution because
forsooth it happened to interfere
with their business a business that
the Supreme Court ot the United
States has specifically declared to be
the greatest source ot crime anu
misery.
Every naturalized citizen has
sworn .allegiance and support to the
Constitution. To assail tho govern
ment and the Constitution of tho
United States as this distillers' attack
evidently does is not much short of
sedition.
PUBLIC HALES CONTINUE
While public sales are not being
held now as frequently as they wero
last fall and winter yet many aro

or preparatory to moving elsewhere

TUTION
A contributor to tho Peoplo'n For-
um column of one of the eastern
nowspapcrs discussing tho hostile at-
tltudo of certain Influential metro-
politan dallies toward tho federal dry
amendment expresses a sentiment
that ought tq bo given wldo public-
ity. Ho snys:
I do not question tho right nnd
liberty of tho press to criticize tho
amendment before it has become a 1
part of the constitution but when it
becomes an amendment to the conBtt- i
tutlon every loyal publication should
stand behind tho government In en-
forcing this nnd nil othor amend-
ments to the constitution of tho
United States.
Hero is a point well UHcn. Seeking
to prevent tho ratification of tho pro-
hibition amendment wns an unques-
tioned right of all who regardless of
what reason prompted their opposi-
tion believe that the adoption of n
National Prohibition policy Was a mis
take. But now Hint tho amendment
has become a part of tho organic law
nny newspaper or organization or in-
dividual who seeks to incite rebellion
against It Is in reality assailing tho
government Itself.
The day of debato is past. It is
The day of debato Is past. It is the
tho law of tho land to become opera-
tive by its own terms within ono year
from tho day it became effective
which wllpbe January 1C. 1920. All
true patriots will abide by tho verdict
of tho majority who havo spoken
through mora than tho required num-
ber of state legislatures.
THE WOMAN'S VOTE
Tho unspeakable scandal unearthed
nt tho Stato Industrial School or
Homo for Girls nt Oklahoma City.
has suggested kto many politicians tho
probable nttltudo of the women vot-
or3ln tho next election toward a par
ty tnai is rcsponsiulo ior sucn condi-
tions ns found) there. Some members
of tho party In power havo Indicated
alarm that tho party might bo re-
buked when the women got to the
polls but the members of the machine
nro apparently! unconcerned ns to tho
attitude of the women assuming thai
each married woman will vote as her
husband docs and the unmarried ones
will vote ns the members of tho lm-
medlato family do and that aftor
all. tho only Hfoct tho women will
havo In politics will be to mnko tho
total vote abott twlco as large.
But thosq wpo have carefully ob-
served tho tendency of tho women
to perform Independently arc noj.
so suro nbout' this. They arguo mat
women aro not so politically partisan
that they nre going to blindly follow
the lead of a few democrats that havr
run tho affairs of this stato with
such reckless disregard ot efficiency
and economy during the past ten
years that they aro going to forget
who is responsible for tho condition?
at the Industrial schools for girls
who is responsible for tho expendi
ture of millions of needless dollars
In operating tho affairs ot tho state
govornmont.
Women aro not wasters. Thoy aro
homebullders and certainly they ar
economizers. They can be deponded
upon to vote what they practice in
their dally lives.

MORGAN INTRODUCES BILL TO
MAKE GOOD GUARANTEED
PRICE OK WHEAT
Washington. D. C. Feb. 7th. 1919. '
Representative Dick T. Morgan ot
UKianoma today introduced a bill ap-
propriating $1250000000 or so a
much thorcot ns may bo necessary
to enable the President to mako good
tho guaranteed price of wheat (or
the crop years ot 1918 and 1919. Mr.
Morgnn's bill Is drnwn with especial
view of protecting the Interests ot
tho wheat producers .and requires the
Presldont to establish at each local
grain market an agency to purchase
and pay for tho wheat on delivery.
It authorizes tho President to croato
any agency or agencies with such
authority nnd powers as ho may deer
necessary to protecf.'Jnnd b '"'"tuard
tho interests ot thoWheat growers
tho Government and tin public.
In rofcrrlng to the bill Mr. Morgan
said "so far as I know all agree that

will not buy through tho ordinary

will bear wheat down to tho lowest
price. Thore Is only ono way we can
protect our Treasury and the wheat
producers and that Is for the Gov-
ernment to assume and continue a
