THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
A REVIEW OF THINGS AMERICAN
“ On account of the extraordinarily complicated procedure necessary in the lifiited States to secure ah alteration in the constitution of the country, it is more than probable that the Eight eenth Amendment will be part of that constitution for many years to oome; but in ihe process of time it may become almost as dead as the Fifteenth Amendment, adopted after the,iH®iyii \var, forbiding any State to deny or abridge the right to vote, on account of race, colour . . The Southern
States have taken extremely to sidestep this Fifteenth Amendment and to deny the vote to the negro.. .” Dr Berry ! commends abstinence from alcohol, but as regards the way that America; has acted in the matter, he has one great fear:. “ The real danger of American prohibition lies in the fact that the Eighteenth Amendment has bred a contempt for the law of the land.”
