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.
