moisture will come from north of

Atlantic coast. We can not go Into
more complete details In tills bulletin

Feb. 20 to March 22 gives the (iulf

cannot be greater failure than your
own guessing has gonerully been.
The Gulf stutes will rulso plenty of

NATIONAL MBTION
Senator Morris Shoppnrd of Toxns
lu Hie Senate answered the utluck
ugutnst the llobsou-Sheppurd Nation
wide prohibition of those who are
opposing suhuitsiilon of the amend-
ment to the Federal Constitution to
the States on the ground that It Is
Invasion of State rights. Beacons of
thu ant-prohlbltnonlsts for defeat of
the amendment could well be under-
stood, suld the Senator, "but how
any honest prohibitionist desiring to
see the curse uprooted cull delude
himself with the Idea that the right
of one or u few Stales to harbor the
liquor traffic Is superior to the right
of three fourths of the Stutes to ter-
minate It Is a matter of both wonder
and humiliation."
The Senator devoted attention to
the history of the constitutional eon •
vontlou to show the purpose of the
provision allowing three fnurths of
the Slates to amend the Federal Con
st 11 ii t Ion and said Ihut the amending
power of the States, acting through
three-fourths of tliem, with the
right to go so far as to abolish the
Constitution Itself, was well under-
stood Speaking of the speech of
John ('. Calhoun In the Senate In IK-
:<. replying In Dunlel Wedster on the
question, Senator Sheppurd suld:
Itefers to Calhoun's S|teeeli.
"Calhoun shows In this masterful
analysis that the doctrine of State
rights justifies the cession of uibll
tlouul powers to the Federal (lovern-
inent by three-fourths of the States,
although against the consent of lu
dividual Slates. And the member of
< 'ungress who rushes to the resecne
of the liquor traffic and says thut
Ills Idea of Stale rlghls will not per-
mit h I in to vote to enable three-
fourths of the Stales to deprive any
Individual State, against Its consent,
of authorising this measure, hi re-
pudiating the definition of Slate
lights by their most celebrated, their
most profound, their Ideal defender,
John C. Calhoun.""
The Webb 1,iiw of a recent Con-
gress, which removes the Interstate
character from a liquor shipment as
soon us It reaches a State for delivery,
Honutor Sheppurd suld, was but one
step In the direction of final diminu-
tion of the truffle.
Claims Movement Can't lb* Stopisil.
"The null phuhlhltlonlsts who sup-
ported the Webb l4iw lu the hope
that lis passage would stop the move-
ment for Nation wide prohibition was
tremendously short-sighted," said the
Senator. "The movement, can not
stop, for II Is grounded lu the as-
pirations of the American people for
purity In government, for righteous-
ness in law."
Kxperts figure that the Huropeun
war will destroy seventy billions of
wealth, said the Senator, while the
drink bill of the United States Is
about two and a half billions per
year, and In one generation the to-
tal waste through drink will equal
that of the great war. The annual
consumption per Individual In I ho
Pulled Slates Is nearly twenty-three
gallons of Intoxicants, while the toll
It levies through misery, crime, etc.,
he said, can not be calculated.
"The member of Congress," said
the Senator, "who claims that the
overthrow of the liquor traffic by the
united action of the State and Nation
us contemplated In this amendment
so violates the underlying principles
of this Itcpuhllc Hint he will refuse

"The liquor problem Is essentially a
nuth mil olio, and every unit of gov-
ernment must be directed against It.
It can no more bo localized than
blond poison may be restricted to any
part of the human anatomy. But
tluy saying that national prohibition
will mean the overrunning of tho
State by a swarm of Federal officials
Into the States to iitlnck the cattle
tick or the boll weevil or tho foot
and mouth disease, It Is all right, but
It Is a sacrilege, a destruction of nil
the State holds dear, If they Inter-
fere with the saloon. So fur ns i
am concerned, tlioy can not send too
big an army against tho liquor traffic
to suit me, and I don't care whether
It Is State or Federal, or both."
