The Commoner
Unable to Reverse
"Dry" Ratification
A Washington special to tho Now
York Timos, dated January 24, says:
Tho suggestion that tho ratification
o tho national prohibition amend
ment as a valid part of the constitu
tion can bo affected or upset by any
otato loglslaturo recalling its assent
to tho amendment Is not taken seri
ously in Washington.
All tho precedents aro against tho
federal government or congress rec
ognizing that a state, after having
ratlflod a proposed amondmont to tho
constitution, has any right to switch
its position and rosclnd its votd before
tho amondmont goo-; into offect. This
procodont was ostablishod hon con
gross adopted a resolution declaring
that cortain states had ratified- tho
fourteenth amondmont, and diroctlng
tho aocrotary of state to promulgate
that amondmont as part of tho con
stitution. .
Tho congressional resolution named
twonty-flvo states as having ratified
tho fourteenth amondmont. Two of
tho states named in tho resolution,
Now Jersey and Ohio, had withdrawn
their consent, but they wore never
theless counted in tho resolution as
having ratiflod.
Whllo it is truo that this precedent
was established by political action, it
is novortholos3 a precodont that has
boon followed and assontod to by
loading constitutional lawyers in tho
senate ever sinco. Joseph W. Bailey

colleaguos when in tho senate as one
of tho ablest living authorities on the
constitution, said tonight, when asked
by the correspondent of the Now York
Times for an opinion, that ho thought
tho precedent established in connec
tion with tho consideration of tho
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,
although tho docislon tlion was a pol
itical one, was one that would stand.
BAILEY EXrLAINS PROCEDURE
Mr. Bailey pointed out that while
precedent and practice had been that
a state that had once ratified an
fimamlmnnt could not validly with
draw its assent, it was also truo
under precedent and practice that
states that had once rejected con
stitutional amendments and had
afterward ratified them wero counted
as ratifying.
'It works liko a poor rule that
won't work both ways," said former
senator Bailey, "but, nevertheless,
history will show this was the case,
and I believe that the precedents
ostab'.ishod aro all in favor of a state
once having ratified not being able to
aftorward withdraw its assent."
One of the most learned r.nd care
fully considered debates the United
Statos senate has ever known pivoted
around this point. On February 22.
1870, tho senate debate arouse over,
tho act of tho legislature of New York
in attompting to recall the assent of a
previous legislature to the fifteenth
amendmont. That debate is regarded
as having pretty effectually clinched
tho precedent established when con
gress counted a3 states that had rati
fied tho fourteenth amendment two
states that had first ratified and then
withdrawn their assent.
The fourteenth amendment was
proposed by the thirty-ninth congress
on Juno 1G, 18 6 G, the year after tho
civil war closod. On July 21, 1808,
congress adopted and transmitted to
the state department a concurrent
resolution declaring that "tho legis

United States Judge Atkinson Gives Opinion
Cure f ul investigation by
physicians among druggists
and patients has revealed
the fact that there are thou
sands of people taking Iron
who do not distinguish
between organic Iron and
metallic Iron, and that such
persons often fiull.to obtain

and enduranco which they
seek, simply because they
have taken'tho wrong form

Therefore, physicians men
tioned below, adviso those
who feel tho need of a
strength and blood builder
to go to their family doc
tors and obtain a prescrip
tion calling for organic
iron Nuxated Iron
and present this to
their druggist so' that
there may bo no ques
tion about obtaining
the proper article. Eut
if they do not wish to
go to tho troublo of
getting a prescription
for Nuxated Iron then
be sure to look on tho
label and see that tho

ISN'T TURN-ABOUT FAIR PLAY?
The New York World wants to
hold the South accountable for the
triumph of prohibition, and angrily
threatens to throw it to the lions of
colored supremacy. It is extremely
peeved because the South did not live
up to tho old principles of state
rights, and thinks it ought to b
punished for not saving the North
from the enemies of the rum demon
Perhaps the South did abandon its
state's rights doctrine in this matter
but after all, did it not take a leaf
from northern History. The North
noarly sixty years ago came to the
conclusion that the South was suffer
ng from a great moral evil and ought
to be reformed, and it proceeded to
reform it with tho imvnS.i. ? ., .

it would be a fine thing to free the

Lreatirig an Estate
All are striving to create aii estate. When
death comes, if there is no insurance,' a -forced
sale of the property often causes a large loss,
'whereas, the proceeds from a life insurance
policy will furnish ready money for the im
mediate needs and the executors of tho estate
can have time to dispose of the property to the
best advantage.
-ho cash value of a man's life to his family,
if ho earns but $1,000 a year, at age thirty-five
is over $14,000. No man would go without fire
insurance on that amount of property and yet
if he carries no life insurance, ho is forcing his
family to carry a risk for this amount unpro
