STOKED LIQUOR CONGRESS ASKED TO MAKE INQUIRY Washington. July 15.—A man’s right to keep liquor in his own home which stood the test before the ..kiAiisp iiulLt-hiry rnininittpp must take its chance now in the house. Notice was served today on the committee by one of its members that when 1 the house resumes con- V sideration of the prohibition en forcement measure an amendment would be offered to make it unlaw ful for a person to retain "posses sion of liquor stored prior to July 1. The committee, in framing the general enforcement measure, elim inated the section which would have made storage illegal, but the big majority polled yesterday by pro- hibitidnlsts was accepted in some quarters to mean that the bill in certain respects would be made still, more drastic: *“ The prohibition measure was not taken tip today, the sundry civil ap propriation bill, vetoed- by the President, having the right of way, ; nd neither can it be called tomor row, which is calendar Wednesday, except by unanimous consent. Af ter that the agricultural appropria tion bill, also vetoed by the Presi dent. will have privileged status, and prohibition leaders do not ex pect to resume work on the measure before Thursday or Friday. The only reference to prohibition on the door today was by Represen tative Blanton (democrat), of Texas, who wanted stricken from the record the speech by Represen tative Gallivan (democrat), of Massachusetts, charging that mem- gers of congress had hoarded large quantities of liquor. ^Speaker Gil- lett ruled, however, that Mr. Galli- Van\s remarks were in order. The judiciary committee held a brief executive session and considered minor changes in the bill relating to sale of flavoring extracts. Republican Member WonMP Kn°M About Mexico.

Washington, - July 10.—A definite statement from the war department regarding the course of the govern ment in respect to protection by Mexi co to- American citizens and property was'ashctMn 4he-heuee today by Bep- resentative Laguardia, Republican, of New York, who declared that Condi tions In Mexico “have now reached the stage where it becomes our duty to inquire into what is going on and learn what the administration plans doing.” Mr. Laguardia introduced a resolu tion directing the State department to submit to the house all communica tions which have passed between this government and Mexico, since Janu- J * ary 1915, and also all communications pertaining -to Mexican affairs which have passed between the department and officers of the army and navy. “With this information at hand,” Mr. Laguardia said, “we can determine what steps to take. We do not care what means the Mexican government -takes-to preserve-T>rder, -to, protect American lives and property, let them use the law, or their policy, or their military—but, we should insist that they do something and must hence forth refuse to overlook any omission on the part of the Mexican govern ment towards Americans and Ameri can rights. » “Carranza should be informed,” he declared, “that he can not expect the friendship and the assistance of this government a minute longer.” Armed intervention is not necessary at this time. Mr. Laguardia said, adding: “We should go into Mexico with beans In one hand and hand grenades in the other. Then in case they do not accept our well intended and sin cere friendship, may God help them." Washington, July 10.—Renewed re presentations > on the Mexican situa tion have been made to the American government by Great Britain and France it was learned today at the State department. For several months these countries hawe been urging upon the United States the desirability of putting Mexico on her feet so that she might resume the payment of her na tional and other debts and afford ade quate protection to foreign lives and property. ■■****-■ * An Epidemic in South Carolina. * The fighting and killing that have been so common in South Carolina in the last two or three months are manifestations of a state of mind fol lowing war. When the strain of a great war ends, disorders here and there always are a sequel. In some parts of the United States, the disorders are of a different kind from those in the South, but every- where tha-aplrit of lawlessness breaks ers.

On the surface Is, nothing in common between an outbreak of the “Reds” in New Jersey or California and a lynching in Georgia, but in fact the causes of them are nearly akin. A group of reckless and violent men, bent on mischief, rebel against all law, call themselves "I. W. W”, and. making resentment against the social and political order their excuse, throw bombs and commit other outragee. Another groupkexcited and thirsting for blood, pemiade themselves that the law is a TallUte in dealing with certain crime^ and p-o they hang a ne gro. The “Rejl” in Patterson imagines that the laws for the protection of property arb unfair. The lyncher in Vicksburg fs sure that unless he makes and executes law, his neigh borhood, wilt ba-imaafe. f or-wooaen-to live in. Both are the enemies of law and civilization; both would destroy them. The industrious, > s foonest, rational people of the United States are the great majority. Thfe^ know that, in tho long run. order will survive, that ife and property will be protected, ''at this country will not be aban- ‘doned tb bloody revolution. So sure of this are they that they look on pas- ively at the crimes that are commit ted and, absorbed in their usual pur suits, rely on the agencies^ of the gov- iment to suppress di scious that the great •tic are without sympa “Reds”, for the lynchers brawlers and gun-fight little attention to the c done. Is this the righteo pedient attitude of th majority? Would it the majority to mak felt? It has agencies it may act.

Dozens of men have bee nkilled—uselessly and waste- have been killed—uselessly and waste- m self-dCfenise does not blot out th& truth that some one has participated in a crime that cost a life. As it is the business of the physi cian faithfully, bravely and with all his energy to oppose an epidemic of typhoid, so it is the business of the - , i juries and the judges to oppose and stamp, out an epidemic of-man-slaying. Will they do their duty? Or will they forget that, whenever a man raises a violent hand against another, he at tacks the peace and the safety of the community? When men arm themselves to fight their enemies, It is a short step to the killing of men who are not their enemies. When murder comes to be a cornmunlty habit, tio man is safe. Through the churches, through the press, through public meetings, through all the other agencies at hant, the majority of the people should assen themselves' and put an end to the epidemic of man-slaying and oth er crimes of violence.—The State. from 86,400 acres in 1918 to 112,000 in 1919.
