WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1919. NATIONAL PROHIBITION. The necessary number of states has given assent to ratification of the federal prohibition amendment, and on the first of next June the manufacture and sale of liquor are forbidden by law. Social drinking will be come an abandoned custom and arranging the appro priate service of wines for a formal dinner will become one of the lost arts. The United States is the first great nation to make the experiment of nation-wide prohibition. If it proves i satisfactory here other nations will doubtless adopt it. It was decided that the best form of embodying this great change would be in the form of an amendment to the Constitution. This will ensure the most vigorous en forcement of the law, and will enable the effect of it upon the nation to be speedily observed. The fact that so many of the states have consented to ratification is significant of a great change in public opin ion. A few years ago it would have been thought abso lutely impossible that the United States should go "bone dry" within the lifetime of the present generation. Even among those who heartily approved of the principle of prohibition, it would have seemed inconceivable that the nation should adopt it. Admitting that the use of alcohol was subject to great abuse, would the public "stand for" its withdrawal? The fact that the nation entered into war and that prohibition was strictly enforced in the army gave a great impetus to its advance. The practicality of nation wide prohibition has been more and more confirmed in the minds of people in general. The proof of this is the rapid response which the states have made in ratifying the amendment. This legislation will undoubtedly banish altogether some existing evils and minimize others. It will be the plain duty of every citizen of the United States to con form to the law both in the letter and the spirit.
