Kerensky had been chosen a member of the constituent assembly not only from Samara, but as a delegate repre senting the entire southwestern army. Mass meetings in denunciation of the Bolsheviki rule are becoming frequent in Petroerad. Workmen and soldiers held one there last week at which the labor leader, Beretelli, angrily warned the Bolsheviki that they must not dissolve the assem bly.

A resolution by the ordinance com mittee that the salaries or the book keeper and stenographer of the city re corder's office be raised to $85 and $60, respectively, developed some op position. When it was learned however, that better positions had been offered to the present employes in the record er's office and that it would doubtless be difficult to secure new help as ef ficient as the present at less wages than proposed, the council was disposed to grant the increase.

This proposal met the immediate opposition of a number of couneiiiuen wlio were inclined to look with suspicion upon the comfort station and who expressed themselves as of the opinion tnat the city had better go a Utile slower in ac cepting the station. The prevailing op mion was that the council should wait a few weeks and sei what the county court did in the matter of acceptance. borne exceedingly irank discussion was indulged in by various aldermen re spectiug the station, aud the outcome was .that the matter was made a special order of business for the next meeting of the council, with iustructions to the city engineer to make a report at that time as to whether the station had been built according to plans aud specif ica tious aud whether the city's interest liud been protected. This led Alderman to offor tno pertinent remark tliat it might have been well to have saved the money paid an architect aud had tho city engineer do the job in the first place.

Much territory, in all of them, it was pointed out, has long been forbidden ground for John Barleycorn. About 85 per cent of Massachusetts is dry, under option. Representative Webb, who engineered the amendment through its legislative pitfalls to success, announced lie and other leaders will stump wet states dur ing the summer vacations until the re uired 36-rubber stamp their approval. Senator Borah, Idaho, made a brief but vigorous fight again the provision requiring ratification of the dry amend ment within seven years by three fourths of tho states. Borah declared congress had no right to limit the time within which consti tutional amendments shall be ratified. "The constitution does not limit tho time," Baid, Borah. "States may ratify any time they see fit. The result of this provision, in my opinion, would be that the courts would hold it invalidated tha submission of tho amendments. "When other amendments aro brought up, wo could say they niust be adopted in a year, or six months, or leave twenty years for their adoption. "Congreaa can't do this, in my opin ion, without endangering the submissoiu of this important question." Senator blieppard, uuthor of the reso lution said congress had fought this question out thoroughly and decided it has the right to limit the time. Borah indicated thut mi early effort will bo mado to have tho courts decide whether congress lias the right to put the seven year limitation on ratifica tion. . - ' Only a handful -of "dry" workers saw tho final -chapter written by con gress to. this legislation.
