'*■* So far as we have   noticed, tbe two
-oblef objections offered   to   the «18th
Amendment are   (1)   that   advantage
^<vMtkken oltbe absence of   tbe  sol-
'/ diere  to   Europe  to  * * pat  it  over,»»
V-and     (2)    the   amendment    was   not
/-adopted   in  the  proper  manner. :  A
^  .referendum   to  toe  people    of each
state   should   have  been   had   rather
t- than to leave tbe matter to the several    legislatures. 2   Neither- of  these
.  objections  is   to our mind entitled 10
any serious consideration.
"-- Those,who were pushing Jthe 18th
Amendment of course desired to se-
'cnre ita adoption at the earliest
possible moment, just as the women
desired the earliest possible action
on the 19th • Amendment securing
general woman suffrage. Of course
the war may have hastened botb of
them. The war very Jlikely rapidly
advanced public sentiment on the
liqoor question when it was found
that the government was compelled
"■ to deal with thd traffic with a strong
band aoywbere in the vicinity of a
soldier camp. If the friends of the
traffic find any consolation in this
fact, they can have tbe wboie of it.
' That the action of nny legislature
was influenced in the slightest degree by the absence of tbe wBoldiers
is Ja Ipure assumption eoncerniog
which no one knows anything.
What leads anyone to assume that a
majority of these men desired the
continuance  of    the    liquor    traffic?
- This hue and cry is not entitled to a
moment's consideration. It has
been raised simply to create a prejudice in the minds of the people.
\ Every constitution usually eon-
tains a provision for its own amendment. Oar National constitution
provides    two    ways   i'n   which   pro-
^ posed Jamendments may be ioiated
and two ways by which they may be
adopted. While we are not certain,
and have no time to look tne matter
ip, we feel quite *snre that all the 19
amendments have been made in the
same way: They have been proposed
by congress and ratified by the several legislatures. Why this sudden
cry for a different method in this
particular case? How does anyone
know that tbe people of any particular state would have voted otherwise than did the legislature of that
state? We used to hear much about
the repeal of the .15th amendment,
bat no one says anything about it
any longer.
- From some literature of this association sent us we see that great stress
is to be laid upon   "State's   Rights1'.
' The makers of our constitution had
this point carefully in mind when
they made that instrument and
jaaldnsiy guarded any undue encroachments of tbe National authority. It teok a four years' war to
settle tbe fact that a state could not
get up and leave any time it desired.
Old Grandma Buchanan sat in the
"White House and let members of his
cabinet and others take possession
of arsenals and navy yards and steal
pretty nearly all tbe war material we
had and cart it off south. \ He could
"find no authority in the constitution
to coerce a state," be said. It did
not take Abraham Lincoln long to
find the authority and tbe South for
fifty vaars has been blessing him - for
compelling them to abandon their
■- theory of "state rights".
Personally we do not care  how the
provisions    of  the  18th Amendment
- are carried out if only they are carried out. We have no jealousy of
tbe   Federal   authority.     In  general
- a law- will   be  tbe better   enforced if
;$hat  enforcement   is removed  from
local Influences.    Of course    tb*» Volstead law, or any   law for tbe  prohibition  of  the  liquor  traffic,   will be
** poorly    enforced   for    many    years.
^ Ho one should   expect anything else.
^Wbo le it that is   doing  most  of  the
complaining aboat:]this and insisting
tbat prohibitory laws  cannot  be  enforced?   Is it tbe friends of  tbe  law
l.^Hfcl-lte; enemies, many  of  whom   are
tsaisaielv** engaged in its violations?
With «t life has passed   the  merld-
sbadows are fallintr toward
t.   We can hardly expect any

EDWIN L RUSSELL
Loses   Fine   Barn ' By
Tuesday.
Fire   On
Soon after noon on Tuesday,
fiae barn of Edwin L. Russell,
miie west of the Vernon Town Hall,
was found to be on ffre, and it was
soon burned to the ground, taking
with it a house across the road which
was occupied by beet weeders.
The origin of the   fire   seems   most
mysterious.     Mr. Russell   was   in   the
barn but a few   moments   before   and
noticed     nothing   whatever   that   at- \
traded   bis   attention.      Yet   in   that!
brief time the building was in flames,
By prompt response and energetic I
action on tbe part of neighbors the
new bouse was saved. The walls of i
stucco and the asphalt shingles per-j
haps alone rendered this result pos- '
sibJe.
The barn was built six years ago.
and probably could not be replaced J
now for 86000. Fortunately at this
season of the year there was little bay j
or grain and we understand the tools,!
some of which belonged to others, j
were covered by insurance,
was only $2500 on the barn,
Russell's loss ie quite heavy.
charee of the recount, Democrats and
Republicans alike, unanimously agreed
| that there was  not a syntilla of proof
j to show any fraud in tbe count of tbe
j ballots.
And then into a court in Grand
Rapids Sen. Newberry and a long
array of friends who had tbe temerity
to assise in his   election   were   hauled
j and the "great  conspiracy" to defeat
tbe ' tb9 will of Mr. Wilson was shown up.
one | Now tbe Supreme Court unanimously
raps this trial judge for not   granting
the uemurrer which would   have ended the farce at tbe outset.

To aid the Sa'vation Army, Clare
county is asked for S1500. This has
been apportioned by tbe local finance
committee and each township and
city a&ked for a definite amount.
Clare city is asked fqr $580. Canvassers will call on each home and
business place for all know something of the good work beins done by
the Salvation Army and surely Clare
county will do its share in carrying It
along. - Tbe amount asked is comparatively ' small and ought to be
raieed with little effort. It bas been
some time since the people have been
asked to contribute to any general
cause and none is more worthy than
tbis. While there was criticism of
some of tbe organizations doing relief
work during the war, no one heard
anything but praise of the Salvation
Army. ~

SOUTHWEST
Michigan
Fruit     Injured
Freeze.
By
South Western Michigan stood the
brunt of the state's fruit loss in~ last
week's freeze, according to reoorts
from over the state which have been
gathered by tbe Horticultural Department at M. A. C. Severe damage
to certain crops is noted from tbis
section, particularly ' in Berrien
County, Iwhile reports .from tbe
northern part of the state indicate
but slight loss to cherries and apples,
there.
Good news for lovers of apples is
contained in the report from tbe
college tbat winter varieties of apples
over tbe entire state, show =■ only
slight damage. In fact, late varieties in general seem to have escaped
the ravages of the April freeze.
~' An estimate on the damage caused
in the South Western Sections places
tbe grape loss at about SO per cent;
cherries at 85 per cent; peaches at
85 per cent; and pears at 25 per cent,
while early plums are reported ae
practically wiped out for this year.
But litt'o injury to email fruits Is reported   from   the   section,   however.

Rev. S. L. Randall, pastor of Far-
well Community church greeted a
well tilled church at the morning service and in bis earnest, loving way
spoke from John «, 35 to 40.
When God created man he created
him with certain physical needs and
those needs were acet by a previous^
creation of food supply; but man was
also created with a continual longing
or aspiration for something better,
higher more permanent and this need
was met by God's son, wb'o came saying, "I am tbe bread ov'Jife." He
came all the way from Heaven to do
bis father's will and that will was
that of all who came to him be should
lose none. Tbe Christ who Dade nia-
disciples gatber up the scraps that
nothing b** lost after feeding tbe five
thousand, is your Savior. Not one
soul shall be lost tbat trusteth in him*

with an attendance of 39. V
In the afternoon a company of
earnest W. C. T. U. ladies listened to
Mrs. M'attie Jones of Detroit, State
W. C. T U. treas v She spoke of tbe
five great divisions of work undertaken by -the National Uoion; Americanization. Caild Welfare, Health and
Morality, Women in Industry, World
Prohibition, inspiring her hearers to
greater zeal in this work.
. In the evening Mrs. Jones again
spoke to a full house, her subject
^beiug, "Why the W. C. T. TJ. Need to
Carry On."    She said in part: '<
Some people are saying tbat prohibition of tbe liquor traffic was foreed
upon tbe coutttry by fanatics and not
a result of public sentiment, when in
reality prohibition is th^ outgrowth
of work begun 50 snd 100 ceare ago.
Like it was in the days of tbeabolition
of siavery, race track gambling and!
the lottery, many are looking for tbe
old laws whicti will bring back the
saloon. The work of the W. C. T. U.
is not finished. Laws secured must
be enforced and wbat is needed for
law enforcement is a strong public-
sentiment that will demand faithful-
uess of officials to the vows taken at
election. Our legislature, while ma eh*
improved over some in tbe past, has
disappointed us by refusing to pass.'
some of our welfare bills.
The wets are organizing and trying:
to bring back the use of beer an da
wines and much publicity baa. been*
given their propaganda. "We need a.
strong .' organization of Chrr&tiaQ
people and we know we will bold oar
prohibition law. Other countries are
watching us and the United States
will prove that a dry country has all
the   advantages   over   the   wet   ones.
It is a matter of deep regret tbat
American brewers are establishing
their business in other countries. " We
should have a law against a United
States citizen doing in another
county anything unlawful here. -
