ullification Is? E. Carpenter, in The Houghton Line.) II the fourteenth and fifteenth amendment* may be nullified in those states which do not want the negro to vote, why can't the eight ieth amendment be nullified In those states which object to its provisions? .You may search me! I am sure 1 Bo not knowl As Dooley very philosophically Says: “The constitution follows the nag; but the supreme court follows the election returns.” Vhlch is merely another way of j stating what has long been recogniz ed to be a tact that public opinion makes the law. Of course, we read in the papers many very pretty sjfeeches made by oiir southern friends declaring that there is no nullification of the four teenth and fifteenth amendments in the southern states, and we do not j care to argue the question, excepting state that the facts are that the object of the fourteenth and fif teenth amendments were to permit j the negro to vote and that there are some sections of the United States where it is a well-known fact that the negro does not vote. We are also informed that while ft is true that the negro does not vote in some sections, it is all be cause of good and sufficient legal reasons. I don't care much about that ar gument either. I have always been a firm believer in the states regulating as many things as possible and giving to the federal government the least author ity possible. I come from a family of abolitionists, but our folks always thought that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were evidenc es of bad Judgment. Every one, including the negro, would have been better off had those amendments never been pass ed; The amendments cua noi ooutm for the . negro the power to vote where they did not want him to vote and as that was the only dis trict to be regulated by the amend ments the amendments have fail-: ed, for as a matter of fact those amendments no longer find popu-; lar favor in the north, and there is no substantial attempt being made by the north to enforce them. The manner in which public opinion may reverse itself is dem onstrated by the fact that the eight eenth amendment had its origin and found its greatest strength in the locality that went to war and shed Its best blood In protest against the federal government usurping rights 'which the Constitution clearly in tended should be left to the state. It must be true that if the posi tion of the southern states on the eighteenth amendment is correct now, then the cause of the Confed eracy was wrong. Surely if the federal government has to dictate what we shall drink, it has a rikht to dictate how we shall be free. In reality the Constitution was originally intended to be a grant of fseedom, not a limitation of free dom; a grant of rights and not de nial or rights. It requires no stretch of the imagination to ar gue that the Constitution has a right to grant freedom, but it does require much Imagination to prove that it has the right to deny free dom. *1 probably receive more letters on the subject of prohibition than any other man in the United States, not expecting the McBride's. Many ask me to give an expression of opinion as to. what is going to be the outcome of the present mud dle on prohibition. I have been re luctant to reply, because I am not so certain that I know, and if per chance I am correct In my conclu sions, I am so certain that they are pleasant to anticipate. It haa been argued that u cer tain sections of the country which were opposed to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments could bring about a condition in those sections wtereby the intent of those amend ments was nullified, it is equally proobafale that every other amend ment may be treated the same way. There will be some ways and means frund by which those states which do not want ten amendments may ignore them. Therefore, it is sug gested that the urban east will be Wet, as will certain spots in other sections, while the South and agra rian western states will be dry. But I cant see it exactly that way, because the condition are differ ent As to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments in the sections in which they are not operative, there seems to be no difference of opin ion, and the operation of these amendments is opposed by the very highest class of citizens in those lo calities. Furthermore, there is very little protest against their nullfica tfcm, on the part of those living in tJuise districts where the provisions et the amendments are operative. *But with prohibition we do not seem to be approaching any such coQdltion. The great masses of the people are fundamentally dry. They win not submit to the evils of li quor. if those evils are brought about by the annulment of the eighteenth FORBIDDEN If IN PLANE FATAL TO Cl FLIERS Society Belle Develops “Air Paral ysis" And Freezes to "Stick,’’ Causing Crash. Denver, Colo.—Carol and Mary Begole, prominent in Denver's social set, were dead and Charles Wilson student airplane pilot, was in a hos pital with a broken neck today fol lowing a forbidden air trip yester day which ended when their plane crashed from 2,000 feet. In disobedience to the wishes of their father George Begole, city auditor, the girl left home and went to the DuPont Airport for a pre-arranged trip with Wilson, a student of the Denver School of Aeronautics. Mary, 22. a student pilot for some months, planned to take up a ship in a solo flight later in the day. After gaining considerable alti tude Wilson turned over one of the dual control sticks to the student aviatrix, and shortly afterward one of the girls suffered air paralysis, and “froze" to the control, throw ing the ship into a tail spin. It was not determined whether Mary or her sister. Carol, 19. a freshman at the University of Colo rado was handling the stick when the plane went out of control. “I w’as helpless,” said Wilson, who was conscious when aid reached him, "I couldn’t take the ship back, nor could I control it at all. I cut the motor and shouted to the girl to let go the stick, but there wasn't a chance, and we crashed.” ine plane siruca in a iieia near Derby, a suburb.

Wilson was thrown about 20 feet clear of the wreck age. amendment, any more than they would submit to such evils when they were legal. It has been demonstrated the world over, that the liquor evil to be minimized must be controlled. You cannot control it if you pro hibit it and the prohibition is ignor ed. There is but one solution, in my opinion, and that is to go back where we left off when we started to slip backward. But. of course, that means the repeal of the Eignteenth amendment, and that is impossible. If we were to advocate the repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, the fanatics would raise the hue and cry that it was our intention to enslave the blacks and yet such a repeal would do more for the black man in the United States than any other single action. It would break the “solid South,'* which has always been a national misfortune. Likewise, if we should advocate, the repeal of the eighteenth amend ment there would come the hue and cry that it was our intention to go back to the old time saloon and place the liquor men in political power again. I believe that the present situa tion under the fourteenth and fif teenthamendments is worse than it would be under a lepeal. and I be lieve that we are approaching a sit uation where the repeat of the eighteenth amendment will be the only solution to the restoration of sane law and order, for while under the old conditions our politics were largely dominated by the liquor men. and they would undoubtedly return to some degree oi power, nevertheless under the present con ditions, o rthose which are rapidly approaching, our politics are becom ing largely dominated by the crim inal classes, who have been furnish ed with such an easy means of mak ing ready money by the eighteenth amendment that they are buying their way into power where former ly such power was obtained by some degree of consent from the people. In other words, politics, as rotten as they were before prohibition, have become rottener under pro hibition. For the brighter prospect of world peace America furnishes the Hughes.—Weston lOre.)

NC-iet LAY RHEUMATISM TO m TOILS The prevalence of illness from rheumatism and related conditions appears to be higher among those who have attacks of tonsilitis than among those who are free from ton* siiitis. according to a report on the study 6f acute and chronic diseases of the tonsils and throat by the United States Public Health Service: Respiratory diseases other than ton silitis were found to be somewhat more frequent among children with defective tonsils than among those with norma! tonsits and those whose tonsils had been removed "in view of the widespread atten tion which has been given to tonsil defects and their remedy by tonsil - ectomy.” says the service, "it was deemed worth .while for the Public' Health Service to make a study of acute and chronic diseases of the tonsils and throat. Seme of the out standing results may be briefly sura- i marized: i ne incidence oi tonsmtis and re lated conditions oi the pharynx is higher among children of school j ages than before or after those ages; Laryngitis, on the other hand, ap pears to occur more frequently among adults than among pre school or school children "The incidence of tonsilitis and related conditions of the pharynx appears to be considerably higher for females than for males.

Out does not show as close correspondence as the curve tor diseased tonsils. The prevalence of defective tonsils does not seem to be significantly greater in rural than in urban districts. Re moval of the tonsils, however, was considerably more 11 equently in the urban groups examined than in the rural. “The prevalence ot defective ton sils seems to vary somewhat with the season of the year, but the variation is less than the variation in tne inci dence of acute tonsilitis and sore throat. The maximum prevalence of defective tonsils appears to toe reached about April, a period Of two or three months after the maximum incidence of acute tonsilltis and sore throat and of colds. "The incidence . of sore throat seems to be more than twice as great for school children with defec tive- tonsils :as for those whose ton sils have been removed. The inci dence among children with normal tonsils also appears to be less than among those with defective tonsils. “The incidence of diphtheria among children with defective ton sils seems to be much higher than among tcnstlectomized children. The i results of the physical examination | suggest that adenoids, enlarged cervical glands, conjunctivitis, eye si rain and decavcd teeth all tend to be slightly more prevalent among children with detective tonsils than among children with normal ton sils or among those whose tonsils have been removed. "Height and weight measurements ana records of growth in weight over a period of nine months for a group of school; children aid hot show any advantage m the growth of one ton sil group over another.
