It ia a good time to atop and ask what progresa prohibition has made. Three great evila of man's own mak ing have been a scourge to humanity through its history—Slavery, Drink and War. The first has been abol ished. Of the third, there are stir rings which indicate that the Bibli cal prophecy, ’Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more,’ may find ita fulfillment with our child ren’s children. Of the second, one of the foremost nations on the face of the earth, the United State* of America, has elected to grapple with the liquor truffle and battle to its destruction. In doing ao it ascends an upwurd round in the long ladder of human progress. Do«i Prohibit ion Prohibit. “ ‘Is America dry?’ Do you mean bone dry? O, bless you, no! “But I do think thut while the «mount of bootleg booze is murder ously prevalent the alleged amount of ‘natural’ drinking is fearfully ex aggerated. In the race for the goal the water spaniel is beating the booze hound. There are interests whose interest it is to discredit the whole prohibition movement. They would have you believe that there is a drunken aturnaliu everywhere. “But use* your eyes. Be honest with yourself. How much drunken ness do you really know of from ac tual, personal experience and ob servation? How much have you been fed up by certain newspaper propa ganda, movie stunts, vaudeville quips, or superheated baseless rum ors. ‘There Is more drunkenness than ever.’ Don’t you believe it! I have had the fortune to be at the speaker’s table at banquets of all kinds of organizations, for over a quarter of a century. Twenty-five yearn ago drink nnd drunkenness was the common thing. Today, or tonight, the man under the influence of liquor would be tabooed. Ex cept in certain districts among the ‘bums’ the sight of a drunken man on the streets is now mighty rare. "There arc young fellows who drink—it looks smart! But the ’smart Aleck,’ ‘little-Johnnie-show- ing-off’ stunt is only artificial drink ing. The man who says ‘there is as much drinking as ever' is either playing Rip Van Winkle or else he has been dead for five years and hasn’t been notified. ‘As much liquor sold now as before prohibition,’ There ia if you can pack as much liquor under the seat of an ancient flivver as they once did in a long freight train. "The truth is, the liquor traffic is an outlaw. It is driven from respect- able society, It has to be apologized for. It is off the main thorough fares, and has its habitat in dark alleys, in the byways and purlieus of the city, a companion of the drug peddler and the street walker. The «Id comer barroom has given place to clean and profitable stores doing legitimate business. We in the 'old soak areas’ adjacent to the big son- iboard cities are so accustomed to read sneer* at the waning influence •of prohibition that we half expected the United States government was defeated out on Rum Row. When the representatives appointed by the governors of forty states met in Washington recently, men who bad •come out of the thick of the tight reported with sane and surely found ed optimism that ground was being gained and held, and that not only was prohibition here to stay, but to prohibit Back of them was the President, the Federal Constitution, land the Supreme Court'of the United ¡States. T f A z The Bootlegger and Buyer. the Boose “ ’The partaker is as bnd na the thief,’—the buyer is as guilty as the seller. “Th* patron of the bootlegger is th* instigator of crime. He knows that thp bootlegger breaks the laws «f th* country, not in an accidental way, not in any outbursts of passion, but coldly and conscientiously to get th* buyer’* money. He knows that the bootlegger’s trade drags after it every matter of violence from bribery to corruption, from piracy to murder. The trade leads right up to the buyer’s door. It is his money that causes it. He may -..represent property, respectability and social position, but after all ho is but A participant in crime—in deed, an instigator of crime! “However, as law-loving, Consti tution-believing Americans it ia no ‘ longer merely a question of amend ment—w* ar* past that point. There | 'hat. The prohibitory law is not so much on trial as the American p.o- Pl.‘ are on trial. It is not necessary to b* committed to one side or the other to be conscious of that fact. The salient point is that a large num ber of people, many of them avowed ly of the criminal class, are openly challenging the power of the govern ment to cause a Jaw of the land to be obeyed. When men defiantly allege that a particular law cannot be made to apply to them, mayors, governors and Presidents are bound by the all majesty and might of a nation to prove the contrary. The long and short of it is that it is now more than a question of liquor drink. Ing or abstinence. It is a question as to whether a nation is strong enough to enforce its own laws. Civilization can exist only as long as the people of the country obey its laws. As long as the Fed eral Constitution remains un changed—and there is a way to change it when so deaired—it is the solemn duty of every citizen to obey it. Anything else is betrayal of the principles on which our free govern ment is founded.” — Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
