GILBERT HAGEN Stanwood, Wash. Tomorrow N the 4th of May, 1471, the battle of Tewksbury wan fought between the Yorkiste under Edward TV. and the Lancashires under Henry IV. The de feat of the Lancashires secured the throne to Ed ward. Queen Margaret and the young Prince Edward were taken prisoners, and the prince was murdered on the spot by the Dukes of Gloucester and Clarence. On the 4th of May, 1643, Louis XIII. of France, known as Louis the Just, died at Paris. Louis XIIL., who was entirely dominated by Cardinal Richelieu, was kept at war during the greater part of his reign to gratify the ambitions of the cardinal. In 1796 on the 4th of May, Willlam Prescott, the historian, was born at Salem, Mass. When Prescott entered the field of world history America had yet to make her mark in that line. Her historians had been imitative of the European writers or hopelessly in- ferior, Prescott's work was accorded immediate recognition in Europe and he was recognized as being the highest in rank of all American historians. His best known works are the History of the Conquest of Peru and the History of the Conquest of Mexico. He died at Boston on the 29th of January, 1859. In 1796 on the 4th of May Horace Mann, the edu- cator, who was the founder of the present system of co-education, was born at Franklin, Mass. He died at Yellow Spring in 1859, The Haymarket riot in Chicago took place on the 4th of May in 1886. The riot grew out of a strike for higher wages that had begun in February of that year by the employes of the McCormick Reaper Co. A group of German anarchists led by August Sples and Louls Lingy, organized the strikers and at a meeting at Haymarket Square on May 4 they called upon the people to get dynamite to blow up the houses of the rich, A body of police arrived with orders to disperse the crowd and in the confusion a bomb was thrown by an anarchist which killed eight policemen. The police then fired upon the mob, which scattered, leaving their dead and wounded in theNatreet.

(Copyright, It would be a good thing if we could keep | various in mind the simple dictates of common sense while we are discussing prohibition, Most jof those who are writing upon the issue ‘seem to consult only their passions and prejudices, First of all, the statement that is re- erated in a good many newspaper leditorials to the effect that the passage lof the Prohibition Amendment has been the triumph of a minority and secured by doubt- ful methods, is sheer bosh. ‘The amend- ment was passed in the only way in which | it is possible to make an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Those who cry that the people never had a chance to vote upon the question simply betray their ignorance of the Government | and institutions of this country.

F Another kind of y talk is to the effe that the Supreme Court may decide tl this amendment is unconstitutional. is absurd, for the reason that the Supre Court has no jurisdiction whatever over th Constitution. The Constitution is the sue preme law of te land. The Supreme Court has nothing to do but to obey it. It is further alleged that the people of California, for instance, voted against pro= hibition in their own state, while the legis= lature of California ratified the Constitus tional Amendment, and it is claimed tI this shows that the legislature did not obey the people. 7 This is a confusion of two separate distinct things. The people voted on pre hibition in California only. The legislatut voted on prohibition for the United State It is entirely conceivable that a man migh not be in favor of prohibition for his o state, and yet be in favor of it for th United States, just as many a man a drink himself, but would gladly vote abolish the saloon. . hi He “Homes” a BY THE KEV, CHARLES STELZLE (Staff Writer on Religious Subjects) ee —* | The other day the Central Labor Union in a west: | ern city expressed, by vote, its disapproval of a philan- thropic endeavor to furnish homes for working girls.
