IF A PEOPLE WANT PROHIBITION.
If tho people oT any state in the
union want prohibition then let thum
have it is the literal meaning of tho
Sheppard-Kenyon bill now pending in
the United States senate. This bill
which passed the hwer house some
days ago and was known there as the
Sheppard bill strikes at the root of
tho main evil which prohibition states
have to contend with in the enforce-
ment of their laws the express and ma'
order shipments from "wet" states.
The bill has aroused great Interest
nil over th- country. This Interest
lias now MUM down to the senate
there to center on the question of
the constitutionality of tho law should
the measure pass. One senator who
is advocating the bill said a fow dayj
ago on the floor of tho senate that
all efforts to giv- ftate governments
control over liquor shipments as soon
as they ernes the state line must fall
because (he United States supreme
court has i lways held such legisla-
tion to be unconstitutional. Continu-
ing this senator tnld: "but tho fed-
eral government ha the entire right
to prohibit the thirmont of liquor
Into prohibition states.'
States where tho citizens have said
that they i'o not want and will not
have the paloon where tho people
have said '.hat liquor can not and must
not. be manufacture! and sold are to
a degree powerless to cope with the
evil which they seek to avoid so long
as the federal Judiciary steps In and
says that tho llq u- maker and the
liquor dealer of states where such
traffic Is legalized may ship their
commodity into "cry" terrltorq and
just as loi'g as there no adequate
federal law? just that long are if?
going j find "bootleggers" nnd
drunkards in the d.?est kind of dry
states.
And In tne enactment of the needed
laws in the consideration to be given
the Shennard-Kenyon bill the ques-
tion which should Mvern the vote
'' ne d.ffrer." ' shonM ''-'t
be "do you want prohibition" or "do
I want prohibition' hut it should h?
"shall the people of states having
I rdiibitory la.vs be aided by the fed-

(ial government Jn the enforcement
o' tTiose laws?"
Looked at dispassionately advoca-
ting neither the justice nor the in-
line of prohibition nor discussing the
merits of whether or not one shall
be his '"brother's keeper' the injustice
of lerniittln? a wet plate to ship tho
very merchandise- which the "dry
state has legislated against into that
"dry" state becomes self evident.
If tho people should rule if they are
to be allowed to pass Itwb in each
state governing the actions of the cit-
izens of that Btnt? if these laws say
that certain things f-ball not be made
or sold In those states then national
laws should be made end after being
made should ibe enforced which will
rompel the dealers in other states to
respect the laws of the sister com-
monwealths. In other words if the
United States supreme court has found
that no state can enact laws which
are constitutional saying that an-
other state can not ship certain mer-
chandise the sale of which Is not le-
galized in tho one state but Is In tho
other across the state line Is it not
then time that tho body of national
lawmakers should step into tho breach
and enact laws that wfll prohibit non-
prohibltion states from "constitution-
ally" violating the laws of another
state-?

PARTY FIHT NOW HINGES UPON
DEMANDS FOR PROGRESSIVE
PLATFORM.
Washington D. C Dec. 17. The
fight between the democratic party
for control of the senate under the
next administration has taken defi-
nite form within the last few days as
a result of concerted action by a small
body of democrats toward laying the
basis for what they term "progressiva
control" In the next congress.
A series of conferences culmina-
ting in a dinner yesterday at -which
nearly a dozen democrats were pres-
ent have resulted In a general under-
standing for a reorganization move-
ment designed to Insure tho control of
legislation policies after March 1 by
senators in full symiwuthy with the
views of Presidt nt-clect Wilson. No
detailed program has been outlined
hut the campaign is understood to
involve the entire subject of senate
control the direction of affairs by
Senators approved by the present re-
organization nnd establishment of a
new system of committee assignments
t lint .will distribute Important com
mittee positions Alike to men new
and old in the service of the senate.
Leaders in Movement
Those who have participated in the
conferences thus far are Senator T.ea
of Tennessee Smith of Georgia Smith
of South Carolina Meyers of Mon-
tana N'ewlands of Nevada Ashhurst
of Arizona Gore and Owen of Okla-
homa Stone of Missouri O'Gorman of
New York Martine of New Jersey
and Representative Morris Sbeppard
of Texas prospective successor to
Senator Bailey.
It is understood all of the senators
named do not agree to the more rad-
ical features of the "Insurgent pro-
gram" although they have Indorsed
the general purpose of demanding rec-
ognition of all momhers of the party
V.'E SSNC R

in the reorganization ajid for the es
tiiblisbnient of what they term pro-
gressive legislative policies. It is un-
derstood Senators Stone and O'Gor
man who have participated in the
later conferences have urged somo
moderation of the general plan outlin-
ed at the earlier gatherings.
Will Culminate Early.
Tho senate fight is expected to
reach President-elect Wilson as soon
as he takes up the question of legisla-
tion for his approaching administra-
t on. The leaders In the democratic
insurgent" movement assert that at
least twenty-seven of the forty-nine
democratic senators in the next con-
gress will support their view of the
"progresive program.' They estimate
that at least seventeen of the thirty-
six "holders' senators will align them-
selves with the reorganization ele-
ment and that a majority of the In
coming members will join them.
The fight for places on the import-
ant senatt: committees is an integral
part of the new movement. The in
significant democratic forces probably
will demand a fair distribution of the
p'aces among new and old members
on the five leadings committees Ap
propriations Finance Foreign Rela-
tions Judiciary and Interstate Com-
merce and a similar distribution on
the five next important committees-
Commerce Military Affairs Postof-
fice and Agriculture. Such an ar-
rangement would radically change the
seniority sy.tem long recognized un-
der which the older senutors had
the choice "f places and often held
commanding positions on several of
the leading (ommittees.
Refuse to Divulge Plans .
Senator identified with the new
movemiiit lefused to outline today
the extent to which the reorganization
might ari'ect democrats of long ser-
vice like Senators Tillman Simmons
Overman Martin. Bacon Culberson
and Johnston. Senator Owen how-
ever stated that in the ease of a
member of the senate who has 1h'; 1
choice at present of a number of im-
portant places "we would give a sen-
ator thus Itwated one good place and
then distribute the other desirable
appointment.
"In my judgment it .will ho the dis-
position of the senate next March to
apportion equitably the powers and
dignities of the senate' continued Sen-
ator Owen "not Ignoring the experi-
ence of seniority but utilizing to the
fullest extent the ability and exper-
ience of new members and making to
democratic senate heartily in accorl
with the progressive spirit of the peo-
ple so organizing the senate that the
country shall fully realize the sincer-
ity of purpose.
Plead for Harmony.
"It is important that this should be
done while at the same time a spirit
of harmony Is preserved. It is hoped
that senators holding first rank on
from three to six important commit-
tees will realize this and be glad to
co-operate in a friendly spirit.'
A general conference of democrats
late in February to take in the ne.'v
senators now is in contemplation by
those identified with the reorganiza-
tion movement. If the control of com-
mittees Is established it is generally
understood that the democrats who
term themselves the progressives will
then undertake to direct legislation
In the line of wt at they believe to j
be the demand of the people nn.a
this course might be none of thofe
interested In the movement would
srcclfy today.

In the "gumbo" regions of the lower
Mississippi valley where the roads
have been the worst in the world
progressive citizens have taken to
burning the clay of the soil and
spreading this material over the high-
ways. The "gumbo" Is so changed by
the heat that it presents a fairly hard
and mudless surface even after a
heavy rain.
