I . . . . i t?ATV'WMAT Dot i-f a - vJis u. vr rvifjrPNFL7 :t f 5 ! s Exactly Press Prohibition Jl.illot Result The newspapers of the country have started a ballot on the prohibition question. Or rather, it was the Hearst newspapers that started it and the rest of the country's big newspapers are following. And after the newspaper poll is completed and will show an overwhelming sentiment in favor of modi fication it will mean exactly nothing. The 1 8th Amendment will still stand. The United States supreme court has ruled that Congress has not the power to modify the ef fectiveness of the amendment, but has only the power to enforce it. The newspapers will show a heavy metropolitan vote, which taken by cities, is wet for the most part. They will ..not reflect the sentiment by states, and there is no keen observer who believes that a suf ficient number of votes by states can be sum moned to modify the ISth Amendment. : Congress may enact amendatory legisla tion, but it will mean many years, if ever, be fore it can be enacted. Congress, a personally wet congress, gave the ; states five years to vote on the 1 8th Amendment, not believing it could be enacted. A war speeded the work in .a remarkably short length of tfime. It would -be more remarkable if the 1 8th Amendment could be upset in ten years. The newspaper ballot is not a plebiscite. it is representative or the wet warring ele ment. It is very doubtful if a genuine plebis cite would show a wet majority; and further, it is doubtful if a genuine plebiscite in the cities would indicate a wet majority. These are not arguments pro and con on the subjecet of prohibition. They are facts. The newspaper ballot of the country sets up no machinery toward modification. It does not even represent the will of the country. It means nothing. Mountain View. A Cemetery Can There is a rapidly crystallizing sentiment in Klamath Falls toward doing something with the Mountain View cemetery;, either to beautfy it or to move it. Nearly every strang er who comes to the city looks askance at it. And in its present deplorable condition it is far from being a credit to the city. The old-fashioned church yard cemeteries of England, and of New England, do not re pel. Their whitened and weather worn mon uments set against a' green background are attractive spots that arouse poetry and turn one's thoughts back on one's self. Perhaps Klamath Falls can convert its cemetery into a spot that will be an assurance to newcomers. A city that takes' care of its dead can be trusted to care for the living. But if the cemetery cannot be maintained except as a disgrace then it is time that con sideration be given to moving it. Nothing.
