exhaustively he admits the main contention of those who profit
by vice- the bitter old truism of natural tendency to take the
“easier way”.
But Reedy goes farther than that. He demonstrates with
direct dreadfulness just why that one, of all ways, is easiest.
He shows with all candor the simple inadequacy of the so-term­
ed “living wage" to satisfy the normal appeal of little vanities,

D. H. M IL L E R
|T MUST BE a particular source of satisfaction to tne chief ex-
■ ecutive of this nation to know that he has the people with
him. The very epitome of loneliness is experienced by the un
popular incumbent of high office. Compared to the lot of that
titled unfortunate who incurs his people’s displeasure, Crusoe’s
isle was populous with friends and the shipwrecked mariner en­
viably located.
President Wilson is starting his administration along the
right lines to retain the esteem and enthusiasm of the nation
which raised him to office. His impassive, almost pedagogic
front to self-seeking carpet-baggers, his refusal to substitute the
easy rule of political preference for that of actual merit in con­
firming appointments, his fiat against the cheapening trend of
“dollar diplomacy”, his decision to live simply and with as little
ostentation as his high office permits, the call for early tariff re-
visal —all these are binding him hard and fast to the masses who
elected him. It is a wise course, and one adopted without the
customary tom-tom solos of his notable predecessor in popular
ity, the cave-man of Oyster Bay.
PUTTING LIQUOR RESTRAINT WHERE IT BELONGS
■ OHN BARLEYCORN received a hard jolt when Congress
** passed the Kenyon-Webb liquor bill over the veto of the re­
tiring president. By the provisions of this bill prohibition will
no longer be a dead-letter upon the statues of “dry” states. The
¡ ‘effectuality of state prohibition has been largely due to the
powerlessness of such states to cope with the interstate ship­
ment, by which means any quantity of liquor might be imported
tor “private" consumption, and surreptitiously retailed. Blind
pigs and boot-leggers throve and multiplied. The Kenyon-
Webb bill leaves the m atter of such shipments within the juris­
diction of the states, without federal interference. Should the
state legislate against the shipment of liquor into its domain,
and enforce the mandate by a rigid inspectorship, the thirsty
ones will be dryer than a Kansas drought. Thus will state pro­
hibition become more a reality and less a jest.
