NEW SPIEIT ENTERS
PROHIBITION ISSUE
Events of the last few days have
moved quickly toward a complete
emancipation of American public
men from the political slavery to
which they have long been subject
ed in the name of prohibition. Ev
eryone awake to changes in public
opinion must be aware that a great
one has been wrought on that sub
ject. The publication of Mr. Rocke
feller's letter was as a kind of sig
nal to release the pent-up emotions
of a great multitude of Americans.
They had seen their representatives
in congress long acting under a kind
of political intimidation or even ter
rorism. That period is obviously ap
proaching an end. Men will be free
to say what they believe and vote as
their convictions dictate. It will be
an immense gain to have the whole
question lifted out cf the unnatural
and oppressive conditions in which
it has been debated for 10 years,
and now considered on its merits in
the light of experience and of rea
son. This alone will be an immense
gain in freeing those who have been
bound hand and foot by prejudice
or fright or superstition. At last
we can attack this great social and
political problem without fear of the
whip of political slave-drivers. What
ever the solution finally arrived at
after rational study, the very fact
that the American people now feel
themselves at liberty to seek it with
out let or hindrance means a great
public advance and benefit.
Even the southern states, long re
puted to bo the inexpugnable strong
hold of prohibition, the new spirit
is penetrating. In the North Caro
lina primary a candidate for the
United States senate who is openly
for the repeal of the Eighteenth
amendment, defeated the present in
cumbent, who is himself a dry and
was backed by the once invincible
Anti-Saloon league. Even the daugh
ter of William Jennings Bryan, Rep
resentative Mrs. Owen of Florida, is
apparently beaten in her own dis
trict by a man who is an unblush
ing wet. When such breaches can
be made in prohibitionist strength
in the south, what hope can there
be of long keeping back the tide of
repeal row rising so rapidly? It al
ready threatens to sweep away the
plans of President Hoover's timid
counselors and compel them to re
write their prohibition plank in the
republican platform so as to make it
come somewhere near responding to
the present popular demand. The
country is consciously entering up
on a new phasa of the prohibition
difficulty, which it will now seek to
remove in a sane and intelligent
manner. The result is a sense of re
lief and a lift of the spirit every
where. New York Times.

SUMMER'S ABUNDANCE
Perhaps nothing better illus
trates the unchanging fact that there
is enough of good for all than does
the bountifulness of summer. Enough
for all is a truth too little believed.
Yet before the eyes of a fear-bound
world came rpring. typifying ever-
renewing hops. Xow lilacs have suc
ceeded forsythia; unsealed bud3 have
expanded into leaves; trees aleaf and
abloom have clothed the earth with
such beauty and fullness and abund
ance as to rebuke the fear that, in
human affairs, hope rightly directed
can fail of fruition.
June, "the rose moon,," the month
of beauty and largess, brings more
than a satisfying of the eye, an
sethetic delight. It comts laden with
a readable message of impartial
providence, expressed in color, form,
fragrance which must be felt, even
by the less thoughtful, and even
though it be misinterpreted.
Fields rich with rising grain, pas
tures adrift with daisies, meadows
golden with buttercups; flags bring
ing grace to the rivulet's brink;
primroses blooming at the sunset
hour, and lending to lutterfly and
humming bird their drop of nectar;
trees, flowers, their needs supplied;
birds and the wood creatures find
ing plenty to suit tteir require
ments all these witness to abund
ance. By all this loveliness the rigors of
difficult times undoubteily are soft
ened more than the stperficial ob
server can begin to estimate. Since
in the unfolding certainty of na
ture's larges3 there is clearly sym
bolized the operation of an unfail
ing law of order and harmony, can
men doubt that mere is avanaDie
for the meeting of the human need
an ever-operating law of supply? The
true solution of the problems in the
world's turmoil of fear and strife,
lack and limitation, is to be found,
when men will seek it, by way of a
more profound considering of the
lilies and in the recognition of a
Providence whose wisdom is not ex
pressed in fear and strife, but in
confidence and intelligent activity
and abundance.
CAEINETS OF CARETAKERS
Much has been said during recent
months in criticism cf statesmen. It
is charged that they have been
marking time while the world has
marched rapidly and has even run
toward economic catastrophe. The
cry frequently repeated has been for
leaders whoare willing to lead. Not
so much attention has been paid
to the fact that during the last year
when the world has been in dire
need of political stability, political
instability has been excessive. States
men have been uncertain in part be
cause of electoral uncertainties.
Leaders have had to wait on follow
ers. Ten months ago, for example, the
MacDonald Labor Government gave
way to the National Government and
there followed the British General
election. During the winter there
were state and municipal elections
in Germany which disclosed the rapid
rise of the Hifller movement and
contributed to much uneasiness in
France. In March came the Ger
man presidential election with a sec
ond ballot necessary in order to put
von Uindenburg in the saddle for
another term. Because of the Hit
ler movement and the place of Prus
sia in the Empire, the Prussian elec
tions cf April had an international
importance.
They preceded by no more than
a week the elections of the French
Chamber of Deputies in May, and
it is a remarkable tribute to the
good sense of the French people that
despite the ominous international
situation they turned their alleg
iance toward the Left. Their deci
sion made it clear that the Tardieu
Cabinet would be supplemented by a
Radical Socialist ministrj-. For the
month of May, therefore, France had
a Cabinet of caretakers until the
Chamber could meet and vote con
fidence in M. Herriot. Three weeks
ago there was hope that the Eu
ropean ballot boxes had been closed
and that there would be some poli
tical stability that is to say, sta
bility in office, for stability of poli
tical forces is hardly controllable.
But suddenly the world was shock
ed by the news of the resignation of
Dr. Eruer.ing. A cabinet of tempor
ary caretakers now governs Ger
many, and Reichstag elections must
be held this summer. Internationally
Europe will mark time until these
elections are over. The Lausanne
Conference, which was called to deal
not only with reparations and debts
but with all the international meas
ures which could contribute to Eu
ropean recovery, must be hampered
if not nullified by this situation.
At least, however, it can be said
that Europe gets through rather
quickly with its elections and it
changes of government. Transition
in the United States is forced to be
more leisurely. The open season for
presidential preference primaries be
gan in February. It is just closing
Chicago this month provides in two
installments one of the most remark
able political spectacles of modern
times. The summer will be given
over to campaigning and Americans
will vote for a President on Novem
ber 4. For the whole of this period
the United States must mark time.
Statesmen dance but electorates
call the tunes, and no statesman ap
parently is willing to dance vigor
ously and effectively until he knows
the name of the tune that will be
called. In America if the tune should
call for a different dancer, four
months will elapse before the dance
can begin. And this lack of move
ment comes at a time when compre
hensive programs and courageous ac
tion are all-important. In calling at
tention to what they conceive to be a
lack of courageous action by states
men, critics should remember that
Demos is also to blame because elec
torates insist on being consulted.
:o:
HUGHES ON THE CONSTITUTION
The next generation of the United
States may count itself fortunate
that in this period of the country's
history the Supreme Court was head
ed by Mr. Charles E. Hughe3. For
if a planned society is to be develop
ed, as most economic thinkers feel
it must, then the nation will have
need of that liberalism in interpret
ing the great generalities of the Con
stitution to which the Chief Justice
adhered in his speech at Asheville,
N. C, before the federal Judges.
To dub a Justice of the Supreme
Court liberal or conservative is one
of those facile classifications which
may mean nothing. Mr. Hughes dis
owned the labels. The dividing line,
if there is one, is between those who
interpret the Constitution literally
and those who interpret it liberally.
Mr. Hughes belongs to the second
school of thought, and in this sense
has come to be described as a lib
eral. For he says:
We should be faithless to our
supreme obligation if we inter
preted the great generalities of
the Constitution so as to forbid

flexibility in making adapta
tions to meet new conditions
and to prevent the correction of
new abuses incident to the
complexity of our life or as
crystallizing our own notions of
policy, our personal views of
economics and our theories of
moral or social improvement.
John Marshall was the first "lib
eral" on the Supreme Court. When
he became Chief Justice, in 1S01,
the authority of the Constitution, in
credible as it may sound today, seem
ed doomed to be swallowed up in
the political squabbles of the youtn
ful Republic. For thirty years Mar
shall breathed into the document a
new vigor and vitality which made
it the fountainhead of American de
velopment. He did so by invoking
what he called its "implied power,"
by reading not only its noble lines,
but what was between them. If the
end of a contemplated course of ac
tion be legitimate, and within the
scope of the Constitution, he said.
Jany appropriate means toward its at
tainment is constitutional.
So the Constitution Las grown
from strength to strength, the ful
crum of human liberties, instead of
the straitjacket that it was threat
ening to become prior to Marshall's
time. Mr. Hughes seems bent on
devoting his vote and his influence
to that same high service for the
"organizing man" who, according to
Mr. George Soulr, in his book, "A
Planned Society," will soon take the
place of thai famous creature of the
economists, the "economic man."
