“Thu Creak ef the Water Wagon.1
“Thia la prohibition’s fifth year.
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

governors of forty states met in

“ ’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

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.

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

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
