The New York Tribune, comment- | ing on the ratification of the federal | amendment with such celerity and unanimity, finds it a plumbless mys-/ tery. There was nothing in contem- porary politics of life,-the Tribune) holds, to explain any such action. “It is as if a sailing ship on a wind- less: ocean were sweeping ahead, pro- pelled by some invisible force.’’ There was, indeed, ble and indisputable evidence that this movement was near so great a Everybody recognized that prohibition sentiment had grown rap- idly. during the states had joined the dry column. Still, some states had refused last year to step into line: Among the latter was California, whose legisla- ture has now committed it to prohi- bition within a few months of the popular repudiation. Economic considerations seem have had little effect. climax. war, and severnl to Great indus trial communities, hitherto regarded’ as naturally and permanently in fa-- vor of the liquor traffic, have turned. against it. States with big cities have yielded about as completely as states with small, urban populations. Self-interest failed to “Whiskey states” like Kentucky, beer manufacturing states like Ohio and Wisconsin and Missouri, wine-grow- ing states like California, have voted dry along with the rest.

There are cight of them, all of whom recently active in Germany, and ex: put up candidates for the national assembly. They are listed as “follows: The Majority Socialists, headed by Ebert and Scheidemann. The Independent Socialists, headed by Haase; Ledebour and Barth. The Spartacus group, followers of Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. The German Democratic Party, represented by Stresemann, mainly National Liberals. The German National People’s Party, with Von Kaurdoff, largely! not much visi- | a mystery; suggests | peace-, THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE Conservatives.

If! this principle is ever to be granted, \the lynching of Karl Licbeknecht and} 'Rosa Luxemburg in Berlin is prob- ‘ably a case in point. Their death \Seemis so great a. blessing for Ger-|* many. and the world that most man--| kind will little. question the method of their taking off, not even Ger- many, as shown by the elections. Rightly, of present German government — should have | seized those two , tiretrands what threatened . to start a political con--| flagration in Central Europe. no longer a mere question of free) speech. It was a question of pun- ishing It} course, the It was traitors and murderers. was. a case of self-preservation for Germany, of the orderly working out of reconstruction, of: safety .for ai | Europe. The Ebert government delayed and| dallied. with the peril. Finally forced} to fight, it became more stern. Per-! haps it would have arrested those “Red” leaders before long, or slain them in fair fight along with their | | déluded- followers if théy had’ stood | in the open. But anyhow, the job. is, dane, and after a-little natural rav- ing and foaming at the mouth the Berlin Bolsheviki are likely to s° mit.

A SECRETARY: OF TRANSPORTA: TION As long as the railroads are under |government control, they will neces- sarily be under the direction of one jman. as a unified The. job mighty big one, too—about as! |big as-any of the executive positions jin the president's. cabinet. | There is much force, therefore, |the request made by big railroad men} that the management of the railroads > |be raised to the dignity of a cabinet, position, Mr: McAdoo as director general of | railroads, along with his secretary-| 'ship of the treasury, had the advant-| age of being already in the: cabinot.| The: present: incumbent has no such} status. It would surely not be amiss to make. him secretary of transporta- tion: if he measures up to the job. It would be necessary, in case such} a position were created, to work out; and défine its relations to the Inter-| state Commerce Commission. Per- haps. the commission could be made, | in time, a board of appeal with final authority in case of dispute. In case the railroads: are turned) Their operation pm is a one-man job. back to their owners -in a couple of | years, there would still be plenty of| biz work to which a secretary of | transportation could devote himself— | directing the development of inland | water routes, for example, and co-; ordinating the waterways with the |Tailroad system. ; aa fine WILL RELEASE TEACHERS (By United Press.)

Dave Soderman, formerly proprie- tor of the White. House Cafe, has re- turned’ from an. Texas, points which are supposed to be undergoing an unprecedented de- | velopment boom. Mr. Soderman’s be- lief‘ is that tho remarkable develop- ment is going on that none of the »places.have the business possibilities that Casper has. The result was that immediately upof his arrival | here he opened negotiations for a | lease on part. of the Grand Central | hotel building where he will soon open a model cafe andy restaurant.
