President Hoover, in exjilaiiiing his views on prohibition,
says, "Our objective must be a sane solution, not a blind
leap back to the old evils. Moreover, such a step backward
would result in a chaos of new
because the local svstems of prohibition and control which
were developed over generations have been m larg degree
abandoned under the amendment."
He then goes on to say that he believes a change is neces
sary in order to remedy the evils of the present situation,
and suggests a plan by which "each state shall be given the
right to deal with the problem as it may determine, but sub
ject to absolute guaranties in the constitution of the United
States to protect each state from interference and invasion
by its neighbors, and that in no part of the United States,
shaft there be a return of the saloon system with its inevit
able political and social corruption and its organized inter
ference with other states." ,i
Does Mr. Hoover rememtwr that the principal reason for
passing the national prohibition amendment was that it waa
almost impossible to keep liquor out of a dry state when its
neighbor state was wet? Does he realize that returning to
state option' would involve the very "chaos of new evils"
against which he is warning us?
We admit the difficulties of enforcement under the pres
ent system; but the difficulties under state option would
be multiplied a hundred times. With thousands of automo
biles crossing state lines daily (to say nothing of increasing
numbers of airplanes) the enforcement of state prohibition
laws would be a farce, unless the federal government should
appropriate millions of dollar for the maintenance of an
army of agents.
Wet states scattered here and there through the nation
: would provide perfect bases of operation for wholesale booU
leggers who would have even less respect for the laws of dry
states than they now have for our federal constitution. Any,
attempt at enforcement would require the stopping and
searching of every train, bus. track, and private automobile
that crossed state lines; it would le such a nuisance that the
whole nation would soon give it up in disgust.
This question of states' rights was settled in the Civil;
war; a state's rights are sulx'i-dinate to the authority of the
federal government. On any such question as prohibition
there can be no differences pemutted between states if the
Union is to be preserved. Many Americans once thought
that slavery should lx permitted in some states. Bitterness
on that question was infinitely more intense than that which
now exists between radical wets and radicii! drys. A war
was finally fought to enforce the constitution and establish
that great principle, "United we stand, divided we falL" '
If the majority of our people want liquor, we say "Let
them have it." Hut first let them devise some plan which
will positively protect the rights of the drys from the evils
of the liquor traffic. State option is no protection; that
has been tried and found wanting.
Personally, we agree with Chapman's recent article in the
Oregon Voter. Atter recounting the evils of the old system,
he says, "We share none of the fanaticism of those with
whom prohibition is a teligion. We simply number ourselves
among tnose who remember conditions as they were, look
upon them as they are, and wonder what they will be when
liquor is made law ful and liquor will make law". Our memory,
our observation, and our prophetic instinct unite to warn us
against beating an ignoble retreat from a noble experiment."
Y01TH AND ADVKRTISIXG
Fifty years .-iro lvs and eiils were adeot at weavinc rat

youth of today knows little of what constituted the store!
of knowledge of the youth of yeiteuiay. j
The omniscence of youth in every era is ever nnutzir.g. 1
but that of today would lie inexplicable but for one thing!
more than all ethers. That is advertising. In the news
papers, magazines and poster lioards children are finding a'
vast storehouse of practical and useful information and in-1
struction. The value of this incidentally acquired knowledge'
can not be measuied in elassrom hours. The youth of
America Ls finding that advertising jvtys it. ;
Psychologists have expounded the theory that truths are
sometimes oUsened first by the adolescent. In the case of.
advertising it may ti uthf tily Ik- said that there Are some of '
rnature age who have n.t yet learned the value of ndver-1
Using. Advertisers do net buy newspaper, magazine ;nd i
