VOUIi average jrohif dtioiiist is a bior and a fanatic, A Iwnct! it caii.scs little surprise to find dry advocates taking advantage of tho war situation in an endeavor to force absolute prohibition upon the nation. The cry oi food waste provides the excuse for the coercion of states whose populations have repeatedly rejected prohibition. The bulk of the food used in the making of alcoholic beverages is for distilled spirits. The amount of food products used in making beer is comparatively small, con sisting principally of barley. There arc no food products sacrificed in the manufacture of wine. The president's reasons for opposing the drastic pro hibition amendments to the food bill were because they endangered the success of the measure, which is far more important and vital for the winning of the war and future of the nation, than prohibition. In addition such a dras tic reform would create the discontent, unrest, and upheav al that- always follows radical economic Hianges, at a time when such internal strife and diversion might be fatal to the conduct of the war, which demands the concerted efforts of jt united people. The president therefore asked that prohibition be applied only to the manufacture of distilled liquors and that.it be left optional with the ex ecutive as to whether it be applied to beer and light wines. The president's announcement has been the signal for a concerted attack upon him by the prohibitionists. Vir gil (i. llinshaw, chairman of the national committee of the prohibition party, has issued a statement attacking the executive for asking prohibition leaders not to delay pass age of the food control bill by insisting on retention of the provisions affecting the manufacture of beer and light wines, saying: "Wo undoubtedly would have national prohibition within thirty days, wero it not for tho Interference of Woodrow Wilson coming to tho rescue of the brewers In tho final hour." It is not the question of winning the war 1 hat concerns such critics. They are too provincial and fanatical to care whether or not the nation 's great objective is at tained, providing only their own pet objective is secured. They are forgetful of the fact that their own success might spell national disaster thru the discontent created by wip ing out without warning a great industry that employs over a million men, by destroying million's of capital in vested in what has always been recognized as legitimate industry, and threatening the financial svstems of the na tion as well as states and cities, and bv leirislativo fiat lecreeing change in the habits of people over night. As a matter of fact, any sincere temperance worker realizes that the evils of drink are caused principally by the saloon where liquor is indiscriminately distributed and by dist illed spirits that contain a hicrh net-cento nr. of alcohol. Jievcrages containing only a small amount, of alcohol, like beer and light wine, really make for temper ance. Prohibition, by making it difficult to secure the tignver nevcrages on account ot hulk, stimulates the use of the stronger spirits, which can be smuggled easily. In securing the cessation of distilled Honors dunn'sr the war, even the most rabid prohibitionist ought to feel sat- isi ieu tor temperance is a matter ol education and evolu tion rather than revolution.
