It has done this by voting into the federal constitution an amendment that prohibits the manu­ facture, sale or transportation of in­ toxicating liquors within the United States for beverage purposes, as well aa its Importation into or exportation from the United States and all terri­ tory subject to its jurisdiction. For fifty years the campaign to ob­ tain prohibition either by state or fed- oral legislation has been waged with­ out Interruption, but now the desired end has been reached by writing the prohibitory regulations into the or­ ganic law. In this form, owing to the difficulties attendant upon changes In the Constitution, nation-wide prohibi­ tion becomes more-of a permanent in­ stitution than an experiment that could be terminated by congressional legislation. v The Sheppard prohibition amend­ ment, which has just been ratified by more than three-fourths of the states of the Union, the number required to make it effective, becomes the eigh­ teenth amendment to the Constitution. The resolution providing for its sub­ mission to the state legislatures, Intro-j duc&d by Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, was finally adopted by congress December 18, 1917. On January 16, 1919, less than thirteen months after the adoption of the resolution by con­ gress, ratification of the amendment bw the states was accomplished. No other proposed amendment to the Con­ stitution has been adopted with such speed, with the exception of that which 'provided for the abolition of slavery. Action on the seventeen other amendments that have-been adopted has required from nine to forty-three months. The average time required has been about two years. The war is given the credit for has­ tening the adoption of prohibition in this country. The economic aspect of the question was emphasized by the s war emergency, and the handwriting on the wall was'seen when congress passed a law«providing for nation­ wide prohibition as a war measure, to become effective July 1, 1919, and to continue until the armies of the Unit­ ed States have been demobilized. If this law goes into effect, as contem­ plated, the country will go dry July 1, although the constitutional amend­ ment will not become effective until one year after its ratification by the . rfjfluired number of state legislatures, f t Text of Amendment. text of the resolution embody­ ing the amendment which has now been adopted is as follows: JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTI­ TUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America In congr<?ss assembled, two-thirds of each house concurring therein, that the following amend­ ment to the Constitution be, and here­ by is, proposed to the states to be-' come valid as a part of the Constitu­ tion when ratified by the legislatures of the several states as provided by the Constitution : Section 1--After one year from the ratification of this article the manu­ facture, sale or transportation of in­ toxicating liquors within,' the impor­ tation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is here­ by-prohibited. Section .2--The congress and the several states have concurrent pow­ er to enforce this article by appropri­ ate legislation. Section 3--This article shall be In­ operative unless It shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Con- .in­ stitution by the legislatures of the sev­ eral states as provided In the Consti­ tution within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the congress. CHAMP CLARK, Speaker of the House of Representa­ tives. THOMAS R. MARSHALL, Vice President ef the United States and President of the Senate. I certify that this Joint resolution ^originated in the senate. JAMES M. BAKER, Secretary. This resolution was adopted by the senate on August 1, 1917, by a vote of 65 to 20, and by the- house of repre­ sentatives on December 17 by a vote of 282 to 128. House amendments were adopted by the senate December 18. Mississippi First to Ratify. Mississippi was the first state to ratify the amendment, both senate and house acting on January 8, 1918. Vir­ ginia, Kentucky and South Carolina took similar action during the same month and North Dakota soon fol­ lowed, but in most states action was delayed until this year, when the vari­ ous state legislatures convened. T^hen the states took action on the amend­ ment in rapid succession. Following North Dakota the states acted in the following order until Nebraska, the thirty-sixth to act, completed the rati­ fication : Maryland :./k re <-• % ' V West Virginia California, . Waahingt#|.:..<> Indiana V Arkansas £'S o *:TU Illinois ~ Y- North Carslin* • Kansas Alabama - Iowa Colorado Oregon New Hampshire Utah Nebraska Montana Texas Delaware South Dak Massacto Arizona Georgia Louisiana Florida Michigan Ohio Oklahoma Idaho Maine Before Congress 40 Years. Bills providing for nation-wide prohi­ bition by legislation and resolutions proposing constitutional amendments for the same purpose have been before congress almost continually for more than 40 years. Senator H. W. Blair of New Hampshire proposed the first amendment in 1876. This provided only for the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of spirituous distilled liquors for beverage purposes. He introduced a similar measure nine times, chang­ ing it in 1886 to Include all alcoholic liquors. Congressman Hobson of Alabama In­ troduced the famous "Hobson resolu­ tion" in the house December 19, 1913. The amendment was amended many times by Hobson himself, finally pro­ viding for a division of responsibility for the enforcement of the law be­ tween state and federal governments. This was done to secure the support of certain advocates of "state rights." The resolution came to a vote Decem­ ber 22, 1914, but received only 197 votes, while 258 were necessary for its adoption. % In 1914 Senator Works of California Introduced a bill providing for the pro­ hibition of spirituous liquors, Including wine and beer, but it received little support from prohibition leaders and did not some to a vote. \V"S; V May Go to Court* There is a probability that ftBtJpfohl- bition forces will attempt to secure an annulment of the ratification vote in several states and will attack the le­ gality of the action of congress. In San Francisco a court order has been secured restraining Governor Stephens temporarily from signing the ratifica­ tion of the nmendment. It has been stated that similar action may be taken In other states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Missouri and Nebraska. In these states; it is declared, all action taken by the state legislatures may be sub­ mitted to the people under a referen­ dum. K The Anti-Saloon league contends that this is impossible, outlining its position in the following statement: "Article V of the federal Constitu­ tion provides that the legislature or a state convention is the only body which can ratify an amendment to the Constitution. Congress is given the power to say which one shall have.the authority. Congress had chosen the state legislatures as the bodies to rati­ fy the federal prohibition amendment. A state referendum therefore would be illegal and void." , Attorneys for the liquor Interests claim that there are many joints on which the amendment may be attacked in the courts and plans have been made, it is declared, for action along these lines. FIRST POLLED 5,607 VOTES John P. St John's Stirring Campaign of 1884--Great Work of Miss Wil- 5ird and the W. C. T. U. bi _ Suppressing Intemperance. Final triumph for its cause came to the national Prohibition party almost at the time of its golden jubilee. It came Into existence fifty years ago next September in Farwell hall, Chi­ cago, by the act of a convention of about 500 delegates representing 19 states. For several years the formation of such a party had been discussed be­ cause the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties had virtually ignored the advocates of prohibition. The Good Templars, organized In 1851 as a society of total abstainers, urged such action, and other leaders believed it necessary. At a state temperance convention held In Pennsylvania in 1867 the plan-was first publicly broach­ ed, and two years later on May 29, 1869, the call for the Chicago conven­ tion was put out by the grand lodge of the Good Templars In session at Os­ wego, N. Y. A committee to formulate the plans was named, conprlsing John Russell, Detroit; J. A. Spencer, Cleve­ land? O.; James Black, Lancaster, Pa.; John N. Stearns, New York, and Dan­ iel Wllkins, Bloomlngton, 111. The con­ vention called by this committee or­ ganized the party on September 1, adopted a platform and appointed a national committee of which John Rus­ sell was chairman. First National Ticket. Nearly three years later, on Wash­ ington's birthday,. 1872, the new party met in convention In Cojuinbus, O., to place a national ticket in the field. James Black was nominated for presi­ dent and John Russell for vice presi­ dent. Mr. Black was a prominent Good Templar and also was one of the founders of the National Temperance Society and Publication house and of the Camp Meeting association at Ocean Grove, N. J. Mr. Russell, also a leader of the Good Templars and a Methodist minister, was known as the father of the Prohibition party, for he published a newspaper, the Peninsular Herald, which led the way In advocat­ ing the organization of the party,for political action. * With all their devotion to the cause, the Prohibition leaders had no hope of success In the election of 1872, and they were not disappointed. Their ticket received only 5,607 votes. This did not discourage them, and four years later they put Green Clay 8mlth of Kentucky and Gideon T. Stewart on the ticket. These gentlemen re­ ceived 9,787 votes.. General Neal Dow of Maine, who had gained fame as the author of the Maine Prohibition law, was the next presidential candidate, In 1880, with H. A. Thompson in sec­ ond place on the ticket. They polled only 10,366 votes. St. John's Hot Campaign. When the plans were being laid for the campaign of 1884, Frances E. Wll- lard and her fellow workers of the W. C. T« U. entered the field. They sent to the Republican convention a great petition asking that consideration be given the pleas of the temperance ad­ vocates, but It was Ignored and even thrown into the dirt on the floor, and Miss Wlllard promptly turned to the Prohibition party* H&r help was wel­ comed and John P. St. John of Kan­ sas was put at the head of the cold water ticket. Already he was a nota­ ble figure, for he had fought la the New York state and, in eon*^*en«e, tile nation. The Prohibitionists polled tile surprisingly largeVote of 150,626. That the Republicans credited them with giving victory to the Democrats was proved by the fact that In more than a hundred cities St John was burned In effigy. The Prohibition convention of 1896 split the party over woman suffrage and money. The "free silver" minor­ ity formed a Liberal party, with Bent- ley of Nebraska and Southgate of Illinois as its standard-bearers. Thej* polled about 13,000 votes. The feature of the Prohibition cam­ paign of 1900 was a tour of the coun­ try by the candidates and a corps of l>Mnce. E. WHIm*. • Civil war as lieutenant colonel of the 143d regiment «of Illinois volunteers and later served two terms as gover­ nor of Kansas. He was a Republican, but his party thought him too warm a friend of the prohibitionists and he was defeated for re-election in 1882. Accepting the Prohibition nomination, he went into the campaign with all his vigor and delivered stirring speeches all over the country, espe­ cially paying attentt<Jh to New York state, where the fight between James G. Blaine and Grover Cleveland had made things very warm. St. John was out to beat the Republicans, and he succeeded, for the Prohibition vote was large enough to let Cleveland win $ Francis i >••• speakers by special 4raln. In 1912 the Prohibition convention renom­ inated the candidates of 1908. Results In Later Years. The candidates since 1884 and their vote are as follows: 1888, Clinton B. Fisk, New Jersey, and J. A. Brooks, Missouri, 249,945 votes. 1892, John Bldwell, California, and J. B. Cranflll, Texas, 270,710 votes. 1896, Joshua Levering, Maryland, and Hale Johnson, Illinois, 130,753 votes. 1900, John G. Woolley, Illinois, and H. B. Metcalf, Rhode island, 200,469 votes. 1904, S. a Swallow, Pennsylvania, and George B. Carroll, Texas, 258,205 votes. * 1908, Eugene W. Chnfin, Illinois, and Aaron S. Watklns, Ohio, 253,231 votes. 1912, Eugene W. Chafin, Arizona, and Aaron S. Watkins, Ohio, 208,923 votes. 1916, J. Frank Hanley, Indiana, and Dr. Ira Landrlth, Tennessee, 214,340 votes. Women Prominent In the Fight. For many years the women have been prominent in the prohibition movement, for the evils of intemper­ ance bore heavily on their sex. To them must be given a very large share in the credit for the success of the fight. They started it publicly on a large scale In 1873 in Ohio with a cru­ sade to pray the saloons out of exist­ ence. This movement, Inaugurated by a lit­ tle band of women who held prayer meetings In saloons when permitted and on the pavements outside when not allowed to enter, spread like wild­ fire throughout the nation and was denominated by the press a "whirlwind from the Lord." Many saloons were swept oilt of existence, but It soon be­ came evident that prayer must be ac­ companied by action If they would pre­ vent the return or the re-opening of the saloons once closed. The call for organization was Issued from Chautauqua, N. Y., In August, 1874. The convention waal held in Cleveland, O,, November 18$20, 1874, and at that meeting there was organ­ ized the National Woman's Christian Temperance Unlpn. Delegates were present from 17 states. The plan of work was presented by Prances E. Wlllard and most of the thoughts embodied In the plan were later worked out In the W. C. T. U. At this convention Miss Wlllard of­ fered also the famous resolution: "Re­ solved, That recognizing the fact that our cause is, and will be, combated by mighty, determined and relentless forces, we will, trusting In him who Is the Prince of Peace, meet argument with argument, mlsjudgment with pa­ tience, denunciation with kindness, aqd all our difficulties and dangers with prayer." Pursued Many Roads to Its Goal. From its very earliest years the W. C. T. U. Sought out a variety of ave­ nues through which the children of the nation might be educated In the prin­ ciples of total abstinence and the adult won for the absolute prohibition of the liquor traffic. Out of the juvenile work grew the Loyal Temperance Le­ gion for the children, and the Young Peoples' branch for the young men and women. Later the children were en* rolled as "Young Campaigners for Prohibition." Over forty departments were organ­ ized, and carried on to some degree In every state and territory, and In from ten to twenty thousand local unions. Among these were: Temperance work in Sunday schools, which, with scien­ tific temperance Instruction In public schools, brought practically all the children In the nation in touch with temperance truth; medical temper­ ance; mothers' meetings; flower mis­ sion and relief; equal suffrage; moral education and race betterment; oratori­ cal and declamatory medical contests; Christian citizenship, and child wel­ fare. MARY BAIN FAME Activities of Various Kinds Win **WUte Attention, ci • • ' *"-'M v:"* > " r-&i! l-i: FRANCES E. WILLARD LEADER Known All Over World as Head of Uw--Picturesque Career Carrie Nation la a - . R e c a l l e d . The final adoption of nation-wide prohibition calls to memory a number of men and women who have achieved not only national but world-wide fame through their connection with the pro­ hibition, or, as It once was known, the temperance movement. Some of these persons who, have been most prominent in the movement were active so long ago that their names mean little to those who have not been closely connected With the prohibition movement, but others are well remembered by the present gen­ eration. Among those who have won the widest fame at various . times through their activity In this work may be mentioned Gen. Neal Dow, who 1st credited with bringing prohi­ bition to Maine, the first state to be­ come dry; John B. Gough,. who be­ came a world-famous "temperance" lecturer after having been a drink ad­ dict at twenty-five; Frances E. Wll­ lard, who personifies the W. C. T. U^ and Carrie Nation, the eccentric sa­ loon smasher, who died only a short time ago after a tempestuous career. Gen. Neal Dow. Neal Dow was born In Portland, Me., of Quaker parentage. He was twice mayor of Portland and a mem­ ber of the state legislature. He en­ tered the Civil war as colonel of the Thirteenth Maine volunteers. He was wounded and was a prisoner In LIbby prison and was made a brigadier gen­ eral for gallant service. Yet the coun­ try knows Neal Dow simply as "Fa­ ther of the Maine Law" and as a tem­ perance reformer. Maine passed the law of which he was the author in 1851 and was the first state to estab­ lish prohibition. General Dow trav­ eled widely in foreign countries work­ ing for temperance, and oa his nine­ tieth birthday memorial meetings, were held in many parts of the world. He died In 1897. John B. Gough, who was the first temperance advocate to attract more than local fame, was a native of Eng­ land, where he was born in 1817, but he came to the United States when he was twelve years old. He learned the bookbinding trade, but early became addicted to liquor and could not hold a position. He made such a living as lie could by singing In saloons. Later he made a new start and married, but when he lost his wife and child he again took to drink and sank to new depths. The turning-point In his life came when he was Induced by a Massachu­ setts Quakqr to sign a total abstinence pledge. He became a temperance lec­ turer, and after making many tours In the United States he visited Eng­ land, where he conducted two cam­ paigns. His fame spread throughout the English- speaking nations and his books have been translated into many other languages. Frances Willard's Fame World-Wide. Frances E. Willard's fame is world­ wide. She was born In Churchville, N. Y„ in 1839. A graduate of the Northwestern Female college at Ev- anston. 111., in 1859, she taught and traveled ahd from 1871 *to 1874 she was professor of esthetics In North­ western university and dean of the . • n#* k V- 'feM Carrie Nation broke into the lime­ light in the fall of 1900 and made her name a household'word In newspaper offices and most American homes. She was Mrs. David Nation of Medicine Lodge, Kan., and a member in good and regular standing of the W. C. T. U. It is said that her first husband died of delirium tremens. Anyway, Carrie Nation had another and more apparent incentive to use her hatchet on saloon furniture. And wield that hatchet she did; its fame temporarily eclipsed that of the Father of His Country. Carrie Nation's Little Hatchet. Kansas was legally a prohibition State. As a matter of fact prohibition was but a name and the saloons of the state werfe wide open. The general plan was to fine a saloon $25 a month for breaking the law; that solved the license difficulty. In short, prohibition in Kansas had btoken down complete­ ly in the ten years it had been nomi­ nally in force and the state authori­ ties had not the courage either to modify the law or enforce it Carrie Xatitti took the situation into her own hands. I Carrie Nation first visited Kiowa and broke up two saloons with her lit­ tle hatchet. Then she went to Wichi­ ta and broke up two jnore.

In 1874 the National Woman's Chris­ tian Temperance Union was formed at Cleveland* O., and Frances Wlllard found her life work. She served for five years as corresponding secretary and then became president. In 1838 she founded the World's W. C. T.

She broke tip an», other saloon and was not even arrest* ed. She went to Topeka and made an appeal to Governor Stanley. He told her he did not approve of her methods. She also addressed both houses of the state legislature. She visited Chicago and other cities, between times contin­ uing the work of smashing saloon fix­ tures. States Enact Dry Law* The activities of these early leaders of the prohibition movement gradually brought about the enactment of state legislation prohibiting or regulating the sale of liquor. Some of the early state laws provided for local option, which made possible local prohibition, as in Connecticut In 1839. In 1837 Neal Dow, alarmed by the vast quantities of rum entering Maine through the West Indian trade, began his agitation for prohibition In that state. Stringent regulation of the liquor traffic was established In sever­ al states, but the passage of the Maine prohibitory law In 1851 afforded the first real test of prohibition. Massa­ chusetts and Rhode Island In 1852 passed laws forbidding the sale of liquor; these laws were subsequently repealed. Massachusetts adopted local option by towns. Iowa passed a con­ stitutional amendment in 1882; It was declared void and was superseded by a statute (1884). This In turn was done away with by the famous Mulct law, which itself was modified. Several states rejected prohibition sought to be secured either through statute or by constitutional amendment. Kan­ sas adopted prohibition In 1890 and a little later openly violated the law. So there was spasmodic activity la most parts of the country toward pro* hibitlon, but It was without plan or cohesion.
