THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) PEAD ACT Do you really understand all the angles of the prohibition amendment and the Volstead Act—especially the possibility of ever being able again to buy real liquor in our country ? | Do you know that whisky could be sold rather openly | again? » A. W. Lafferty, who served in Congress from 1911 to 1915, has been looking into this prohibition thing. He learns: In the first place, to knock out the prohibition amend- ment would require exactly the same action as was necessar to attach it to our Constitution. There’d have to be a two- thirds majority in both houses of Congress. Then there’d have to be agreement in both houses of the legislature of at least 36 states. After these 74 legislative bodies voted to unamend the Constitution (decidedly an imaginary case), at least 36 state governors and the president would have to sign. | Then the Supreme Court probably would decide that it’s | unconstitutional to unamend the Constitution. Lafferty points out that “The drys are mistaken in one thing. The Kighteenth Amendment does not prohibit eve! thing under the sun. It only prohibits the use of intoxi- cating liquors for BEVERAGE purposes. “Liquors not intoxicating may still be sold freely if per- mission shall be granted by a mere majority in Congress, and Congr may fix any reasonable alcoholic above the present one-half ot 1 per cent.” That’s generally understood. The Volstead Act, which is merely the pi of legislation that interprets and enfore the prohibition amendment, is subject to change. Congres might restore beer and wines with alcoholic content 6 pe cent or even higher, just as long as it classed such content legally as non-intoxicating. It probably wouldn’t go that high, but still it’s not impossible, particular! a'reaction against prohibition. We Americans are not mid- dle-of-the-road in anything. We run to extremes, one way or the other. The Supreme Court, of course, might check Congress. Lafferty believes that “Congress, under the Volstead | Act, has prohibited things never intended to be prohibited by the Kighteenth Amendment.” He makes th ry interesting point that, with con gressional permi t would not be contrary to the prohi. bition amendment to SELL INTOXICATING LIQUORS! FREELY FOR MEDICAL PURPOSE There are interesting possibilities in this wet-dry fight. Apparently, with the necessary consent by Congress, whisky could be sold openly again in drug stores “for medicinal purposes.” It might even not be necessary to have prescrip- tions. The professional wets know this. It is the loophole} characteristic of all our laws. | PENSIONS Pensions to Civil War veterans, who fought on the north- ern side, so far have cost Uncle Sam about 3407 million dol- lars. This y 's bill will be around 221 millions. That’s quite an echo, considering that over half a century | has passed since the Civil War ended. A war is a loss, no matter which side win Fifty years from now, future editorial writers will be commenting about pensions to World War veterans. By that | time the world’s people will have enough money saved up for, the politicians to start another war. | content | a CHINESE Arthur Reaves, traveler, writes urging young men to study Spanish as “the most necessary for foreign trade.” He has South American markets in mind, where the sales- man should also know Portuguese. } ; The foremost language that America should be studying | right now is Chinese. Our trade future is more in China than any other country. | As we understand, it takes only 75 years for a white man to learn Chinese. \ | i | ‘OCKS. Harvard University has 31 million dollars of general in- | vestments. About a fifth is in stocks, the rest in bonds and real estate mortgages. | The average dollar of its stock holdings is divided: 35, cents in industrial stocks, 29 in railroad stocks, 20 in real} estate stocks, 16 in public utilities. Before copying its system, remember that, for instance, while industrial stocks in general may be a good buy, it all depends on picking the right ones instead of the weak sisters. SOLD In the past year our business men have sold Germany an average of 25 million dollars worth of goods (exports) 2 month. This was more than twice as much as we imported from | Germany. How is the difference being paid? Certainly not in gold. In this and many other ways the international bankers reveal their belief that Germany’s credit is good. So maybe we shouldn’t get too discouraged about the Eurq pean outlook. ! ; JONAH ;| | : Retiring after half a century: spent in teaching, Elisha Bcott Loomis recalls that in 1885 he was “fired” from a uni- wersity professorship because he didn’t believe that the whale swallowed Jonah. ; ‘ ii Possibly he had looked down the ‘small throat of a whale tind figured that it would be about as easy for Jonah to swal- hand Jonly repuls.ve to a leo Tribune, jmon. y if there comes |: (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.) | (eee ee THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in thi column may or may not expre the opinion of The Tribune, They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important {issues which are being discussed tm the press of the day.

As Mark entered the girl rose and saw in his face an astonishment. which seemed not much to surprise her, for she was used to admiration and knew that her beauty startled men. Brendon, though he felt his heart beat quicklier at his discovery, soon had himself ia hand. He spoke with tact and sympathy, feeling himself already committed to serve her with all his wits and strength. “Mrs, Pendean,” he said, “I am very glad that you learned I was in Princetown and it will be a privilege to serve you if I can.” “Perhaps it was selfish to you in your holidays,” she “But, somehow, I felt—” \ “Think nothing whatever of that.
