A TERRlPlC EXPLOSiOA ROCIEC MAIN tTRCET TUOAY VJHe THE BACK. TIP E ON QUNTX (ilCTCI- tSUtw ur- Newspapers Cannot Do It When the eighteenth iimoiuhnent Iwcaine t law t!ie jJiihlic fully expected (with its chiiractemtic lack (if fore right) that the end of liquor would spell the end of crime, courts, insanity and poverty. There was u period of dimin ished crime which was attributed to prohibition and which apparently supported the public's hopes hut it was even tually discovered that the United States had prohibition in name only, so there begun a period of rigid enforcement. The inevitable outcome was wholesale prosecutions and over-crowded prisons, bad liquor and over-crowded asylums fur the insane, criminal courts doubled in size and cost to tlie taxpuyers and increased cost of government. Friend and foe of prohibition have been disillusioned by the after math. ' When it was found that tlie tuition was not vohintar-ly observing the eighteenth amendment the government and public was confident tlwit observance could lie enforced by tlie iron- hund of the luw. Upwards of two years of the . most rigid and organized enforcement by federal, state and Jural authorities has only served to divulge what appears n be a growing number of inf ructions. Coventor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, sought hone-dry en forcement by prohibiting the exhibit of "wet" scenes in Uie movinir nicturo theaters and in an unsuccessful at- : 'tempt to alKilish the sacred 'American nearch warrant. The president of the JUatiomil ftrfrtHriid association has addressed is association to the effect that the "wholesale lack of ls)H!ct for the fmv can be blamed in part upon the news papers." Jn the' same strain is the suggestion by an east ern editor that the press can enforce prohibition by refus- ing to publish "wet" jokes. It is riot infrequently that the public assumes that news- papers, if not responsible for the world's ills, can easily ; cure them by refusing to mention 'them. A newspaper once tried to "kill" Theodore Iloosevclt by. refusing to print his . name. Many national and international movements have joined headway despite a silent press. It has tieen sug ' frosted that the press could abolish future wars by refus ing to write about Avar. As for the "wet" joke, it will fYus the natural death of, jokes front old age. Advocate and opponents of prohibition feel too strongly on the sub jwt mid tlie neutral camp is small. . : Nothiiiff at all can be said for the suggestion that the - newspapers might foster this thing and suppress that thing bv combining for the purpose. A combination -oi news. .'papers for any ptnposo is destructive of the basic concep tion of a free press. Instead ol an agency lor expression f the multifarious play "f public opinion, the "combined" newspapers would become an instrument for propaganda; and as such they would lose Ixitli their usefulness and their pirslige.
