PROHIBITION UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT IN SWEEPING OPINION Eighteenth Amendment to Basic Law , as Well as Volstead Enforcement Act , Declared Constitutional by Tribunal . RULING KILLS RECENT STATE ACTS WASHINGTON, June 7.—The United States supreme court today upv held constitutional prohibition. In a sweeping decision the court declared that the prohibition amendment to the constitution is valid and held that the Volstead act enforcing it is constitutional.

The court's action means that the Vol-t stead law prohibiting the sale of any beverage containing one-half of one per cent or more of alcohol must be enforced in every state of the Union, regardless of whether the state has ratified the amendment. State laws providing higher alcoholic content, such as have been enacted In New Jersey. Wisconsin and Rhode Island. are nullified. The decision dispels the hope of the brewing interests that the properties could Jbe used for the manufacture of light beers and wines and minimize the losses due to national prohibition. AFTER THREE MONTHS OF BITTER ATTACKS. The court's decree, rendered after three months of legal attacks on the law by the liquor interests and wet states. Is 1 a complete victory for the federal govern ment and the prohibition forces. It is so far-reaching that it settles once and for all that national prohibition will stand unless the prohibition amendment should b removed from the constitution by action of three fourths of the states. All the contentions made by the most skillful lawyers of the wets are swept aside on the ground that it was legally ratified and that the states in so doing gave congress power to enact the Volstead law. Upholding the amendment the court stated prohibition is a valid subject for an addition to the constitution and that action does not conflict with other nfcflcles of that historic document. [ The constitutionality of the Volstead > law was based' on the general principle laid, down by Chief Justice Marshall more than 100 years ago that where state laws conflict with federal statutes, the federal laws are supreme. BLANKET DECISION ON SEVEN SUITS. A v blanket decision was recorded by the court on seven suits. These were brought by or appealed from six states—Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Wisconsin. Missouri and Kentucky. a Rho4e Island and New Jersey as states Instituted proceedings in the < court to have the amendment declared void and to enjoin the enforcement of the Volstead law within their limits. The appeals were on case* instituted In lower courts by Christian Fei gens pan, a New Jersey brewing corporation: George C. Dempsev. a Boston liquor dealer; the St. Louis Brewing assoela tion, the Kentucky D.stiU*ries and Warehouse Company, Louisville, and the Manitowoc Prducts Company. Milwaukee. The government won all hnt the Milwaukee case in the lower courts and consequently today's action affirms the judg o<pnt in all the others below. The Milwaukee decision, rendered by Federal Judge Geiger, was reversed. In the New Jersey and Rhode Island state actions, the motion of the federal government to dismiss the cases were granted. The court's opinion took up all the contentions of the wet forces in detatl and then declared that there was no 'egal foundation for them. Chief Justice White said he regretted that the court had not seen fit |n outline the steps which led up to its do- < ision. He indicated, however, that he was not 'Assenting from the opinion. He said congress in the eghteentli .'imendmenr should have defined lnto.fl- - ating liquors. Justice Vandevanter read the opinion of the court. Justice McKenna read a dissenting opinion. After pointing out the court was concerned with seven cases Involving the validity of the amendment aAd of certain general features of the Volstead law. Justice Vandeventer announced the conclusions of the court on the various points raised. WNTS SF.T OUT IN COURT’S DECISION. Following is the decision: 1. The adoption by houses of congress, each by a two-thirds vote, of a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the iconstitution sufficiently shows that the’proposal was deemed necessary by all who voted for It. An express declaration that they regarded it as necessary is not essenttal. None of the resolutions whereby prior amendments were proposed contained such a declaration. 2. The two-thirds vyte in each house which is required in proposing an amendment is a vote of two-thirds of the mem uership present, assuming the presence of a quorum—and not a vote of twothirds of the entire membership, present .and absent. 3. The referendum provisions of state constitutions and statutes can not be applied consistently with the constitution (Continued on Page Nineteen.)

Joe Kealing Leads Indiana Delegates to Self and Watson Goodrich. New and Jewett Get Mipor Honors in Organization Meeting of Hoosiers. By STAFF CORRESPONDENT. CHICAGO, June 7.—Senator James E Watson demonstrated his ability to come back as an Indiana leader today when he was elected a member of the resolutions committee by the Jodiana delegation's unanimnns vote, after considerable talk of opposition to him. With this point won be hegan his fight for the chairmanship of the platform committee In earnest and there was every reason to believe that he would he successful in spite of the boom for Ogden Mills, which was said to have the sanction of Will Hays. The Indiana delegation selected Senator Harry New as chairman. Gov. Goodrich was named for the permanent organization committee, Mayor Charles W. Jewett for the committee on rules, and John 1,. Moorman for the committee on credentials. Joseph B. Kealing, against whose candidacy for national committeeman the Indianapolis News endeavored to start opposition, easily won the place. The Indiana delegation was expected to vote twenty-two for Leonard Wood with eight scattering votes on the first hallo*, and It was reported on good authority that if the contest centered between Wood and Johnson the delega tion would gradually slip toward John . son. If the fight narrowed down to Wood and Lowden, the Lowden managers claimed assurance they would eventually get the whole delegation for Lowden.

Republican Bossisrrt Centers in Well Guarded Hotel Suite

By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD. CHICAGO, June 6.—There is one certain doorway in the Congress hotel before which Chicago folks may well stand In awe. This is the door of the only convention room whore a reporter is not welcomed and where only the very elect may pass. From both directions a sheaf of tele graph and telephone wires, which are strung along- the hallways and down the elevator shafts, pass into the suite. Knoek at that door and a husky man who bears ail the earmarks of a policeman in civilian clothes will answer you and tell you that whoever you want to see isn’t there; he will direct you to another room and probably say to you, “Nobody is ever here in this room.” But he's wrong.

LEAGUE FIGHT UPSETS PLANS OF SENATORS Watson’s Effort to Head Platform Committee Affects Candidates’ Chances. HUGHES BOOM GROWS By Staff Correspondent. CHTCAGO, June 7. —The republican party, on the ere of its national convention, today reaped the first results of its two year policy o| seeking “utterly to destroy’’ President Wilson when it found itself unable to write a platform or agree on a nominee because of- the many views of the league of nations covenant. Will H. Hays, republican national chairman, who for many months has | sought to direct the republican party into a policy solely of opposition to • President Wilson, realized the difficulties of the moment and in a statej ment issued late today, said: “It is a very delicate situation You may rtimb this situation with all ; the skill and acumen you possess and the one definite finding.will be ! that no man, nor set of men. are running this convention. This Is ahso lutely an ’unbossed’ convention.” REASON WHY THERE ARE NO "BOSSES.'* / Mr. Hays, however, did not sdd, as he : might well have done, that thia conven tion la “unbossed'* because there is no one 1n the republican* ranks big enough to reconcile the views of the leaders or of the party on the one great Issne. the Jpague of nations. Many are trying* and none are sue reeding. On the attitude that the party finally assumes on this Issue really depends the selection of a nominee. Gradually the strategy of Hiram John son of California la being shown up In all Its masterful angles Johnson capitalized the “campaign of hate" which Hays had conducted through Ms propagandists. , He Is the only candidate who is set against any kind of a treaty The “elderly statesmen" of the senate. I In whose interests the preliminary work I was done by TV ill Hays, are now confronted with the fa'-t that Johnson has boosted himself to a position whore they must either repudiate th* leadership of ! the senate and agree to a league of na- | tlona, or they must stand against the league and accept Johnson as the cautwdate on that platform. The leaders, who are also the senators, do not want Johnson. They do want a platform that will oppose everything that Wilson advocated and at the same time leave the way clear ; to introduce a sort of a “league of nations" when they Cud that the people of the country will not stand for the elimination ot the Great Idea. BORAH MAKES HIS STAND JOB JOHNSON. Settlement of the differences over the j treaty plank In the republican platform without a fight In the open convention is i possible. Senator Borah of Idaho, leader of the anti-treaty foraeg, said today. The settlement, however, can only be accomplished by stating in the plank that the party adhere to the policies of Washington and Monroe on international question*. That will satisfy Borah and . Johnson. Chairman Will H. Hay*. Sen j ator Wat*on, Senator Lodge and other . tenders are willing to include such a statement. Borah Is not greatly eoneerned what else Is in the plank he said so long as it doe* not In any way approve the Wilson league of nations. WATSON FACES FIGHT FOR RESOLUTION JOB. It now appear* that the “elder states men'*’’ plan to make .Tajues F. Watson ! chairman of thy resolutions committee and thereby Insure a platform that will no* lend an advantage to anyone of the several eandidates now In the field will he difficult to carry out. Watson realizes he has a stiff fight on hi* hands, but he and his friends are confident he will command a sufficient number of the members of the committee .on resolutions to insure his election a* its chairman when the committee organizes tomorrow. Senator Watson of Indiana was facing opposition for the chairmanship of the resolution committee from delegates who, while not opposed to him personally, declared they were “against the senate hogging everything.’’ They argued a senator should not be chosen, because Senator Lodge was already “slated" as temporary chairman of the convention and Senator Smoot was expected to head the committee on credentials. Republican leaders insisted, however, that the "real inside" of the opposition ,to Watson was the movement on foot, led by John C. Shaffer, to have former Senator Beveridge of Indiana made permanent chairman. Beveridge's friends were offering to support Ogden L. Mill* of New York, who 1* backed by National Chairman AVill H. Hay* for th chairmanship of : the committee on resolutions, if Beveridge | were made permanent chairman. Samuel Gompers and other leaders of I the American Federation of Labor are j headed this way from Montreal to op- , pose Watson heing placed in cha-ge of ! (Continued on Pago Nineteen.)

S.. dean of the New York university school of commerce, accounts and finance, and president of the Alexander Hamilton institute. opened the session with a strik- ! ing address on "Advertising as an Economlc Forr€.’ f * "It is entirely wrong to look upon the expense of advertising as one of the costs which add to the price. The truth quite the contrary," Dr. Johnson said. "Without advertising, large scale production ts absolutely Impossible, snd large scale production Is the sine qua non of low prices. “Someone has estimated that the business men of the Un'ted States in normal times before the great war were spending Dilly one billion dollars a year lq advertising." J Dr Johnson said a “mushroom economist" would Immediately jump to the conclusion that the poor ultimate consumer footed this enormous-bill. "If we could get all the facts," he continued. "I have no doubt we could prove that this billion dollar expenditure tot advertising reduced prices to such sn extent that the American people at the end of the year were more than a billion dollars better off than they would ham been had some fake economic czar begun the new year with an edict against ad vertlslng. ADVERTISING LIFTS MARKET STANDARD. "Furthermore, advertising sees to If that people shall get goods of the bes* quality. "It lifts the market standards. "People want the beat and when wdt.b the aid of advertising they hove found out what is best, the man who makes it has their almost unanimous patronage, nnd the man who makes the inferior articles must either go out of business or Improve the quality of his goods. “Advertising puts no royal crown on the head of a humbug. "No man succeeds through advertising who would not succeed without advertising. Advertising merely makes hi( success swifter, bigger, more certain. "Advertising, is absolutely essential to the successful distribution of goodi. U ifhout its aid a manufacturer is *fc th merry of wholesalers, and retailers, for he has not the ear of the consumer, but with advertising as his agent, he trademarks h:s goods nnd makes them familiar household words In the boms of all classes of consumers, broadens his markets and prospers, utterly Indifferent to the frantic and mendacious tricks nnd devices of unworthy competitors.” At the opening general session the program, besides tbe talk by Dr. Johnson, ineluded the following papers: “The Hoar and Why of Buying Motives,” by E.
