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

turning from prayer meeting at

"quitepainful.
Another hot day, and the care of
the garden will pass from the hands
of the man to his loving helpmeet.

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. .

PRESIDENT WILSON'S repudiation of public owners
ship, both regarding the- wire system and railroads,
will undoubtedly meet with general approval. 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 , ' .
