Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Ferry s California, the hope of Jap agita tion and Hiram Johnson, Tuesday wont wild over the news that the ban on . wine and beer, particularly wine had been recommended for lift ing by the president Much of the foreign wine sold in this country comes from California. The president should be good to California for Cal ifornia was good to him In 191$. "California, I Love You," should be the official song of the administra tion. ' . Incidentally, the lifting of the ban on beer and wine is no balm of Gil ead to those well meaning souls who would wipe all law, Except the dry law, off the books, j THK DEADLY HAIRPIN (Salem Capital-Journal) Miss Gladys Webb had the mlBfortune of stepping on a : hairpin Thursday night after re- turning from prayer meeting at si.

Bushels . of hugs and a good night kiss." The, sun goes down in the golden j:: west, .- ' . And E. Brown wears no coat or vest A BLOW TO PROHIBITION. PRESIDENT WILSON'S message regarding beor and wine is the hardest blow National Prohibition has ever received. ; '; . .. , ". True tho recommendation has nothing to do twith the federal amendment, but it has a great deal to do with its ethical basis. " , Americans are prono to emotional extremes. The slrenath of the prohibition movement has been largely due to this tendency. When alcoholic beverages have been mentioned, the picture amused in tho public mind, has not been that of the "Capri monk sipping his Chianti" or of the "British squire's vesper brandy" but of tho low browed bum rcoling home to beat his wife and snatch the bread from his starving children.- Realizing tins few public men have had -the temerity to oppose directly or indirectly the tidal wave of national prohibition. They realized tlie impossibility of doing so, without being manoeuvered into the position of counten ancing the1 degradations of intemperance so evident in the American saloon. As a result, regulation as opposed to prohibition has never had a moral leg to stand on. . : But President Wilson has supplied that leg. By. op posing the ban against wine and beer, he has shown that he does not share Carrie .Nation s view that to sip a drop of liquor is to be a drop drunk." ' - Small wonder that the Wall Street wet stocks jump and the brewery whistles of San Francisco join in a diapa son of praise. Perhaps nothing can check the wave of national prohibition, but here is something that will cer tainly give it pause. ;. , For on moral grounds the president is invulnerable. No one believes for a moment he has sympathy with the liquor interests, or takes his whiskey straight. To ex plan his position, therefore, a certain intellectual discrim ination must be exercisesd. If President Wilson believed any liquid with an alcoholic content, was the" work of his Satanic Majesty, and its existence threatened the de struction or civilization, he would certainly not go out of his way, to repeal a measure which hastens its ehmma tion. 1 And when the emotional issue is tempered thus with thought the greatest political asset the, dry forces have is lost. . l E DERLFV, Tuesday, May SO, (Hq Associated Press,), Tlte uoaoo coin-, mission of. tho naUounl, assembly mot with tho cabinet this . evonliiB. tho, session being under guard and hold lu strictest seore'cy.'V Even niotrtberai of lmrllumunt not bolonitliiK la Uiu ciimmlltoo were burred, llornhnrd Oernbei'g nml Horr, WIshuI, tnlulHlor for social notlcy, who have rottmiud from Sua, participated In tho dismis sion.

The ex perience forced upon the country by the war, has taught n valuable lesson. ' Before the actual demonstration, cherished theories have gone ' aglimmering. Higher rates, poorer service,' red tape, waste and general conru sion, have shown, that in a, democracy like ours, federal administration of public utilities, is doomed to failure, '."Private business must live, or die, and the consequent stimulus to personal initiative,, develops .the latent quau ties of administrative genius, upon which America has built the greatest material success in history. Public business, on the other hand, is insured against death, be cause losses are merely .written off in increased taxes. As a result with human nature as it is, public owner- snip, nas witnni itsett the seeds-or its own 'destruction, The American democracy ... is essentialy individualistic. As long as this is true, any system that destroys indiV" ldualism, is contrary to the national spirit, and can not win. . i , ' . No. 45.
