BARKING IN THE REAR

For sheer, downright, silly nonsense
let the seeker be commended to the
Washington Post In recent (Decem-
Der 16) editorial upon Effective Tenn
eprance Work. that paper says:
Prohibition arouses the antagonism
of many men, who find force and sub
ordination irksome and who, too often
use liquor far more freely than they
otherwise would, simply because an
attempt has been made to curtail what
they regard as their liberty, and, fin
ally, the element of self-control is en-
tirely eliminated, and in some in
stances, at least, force of character is
weakened rather than strengthened
by such paternalistic legislation.
The Post represent the well-known
class of farm dogs that run out to bark
bravely behind the traveller who has
gone on down the pike.

ABOUT WOMEN DRINKING .

The Chicago Journal attacks the views
of DR.. Quackenbos, which are given
space elsewhere in this paper, concerning
drinking among women 1t says:
Human nature does not change, and
the actual number of women who
drink is probably no greater than it
has always been. Certainly the num-
Der of women who look with horror
on drunkenness has not lessened, as
any man can find out who keeps his
eyes open. The increase in the num-
Der of drinking women is only appar-
ent, due to the freedom that living in
an enormous crowd tends to foster.
The women that drink in public now
formerly drank in private, but they
are no more numerous proportionately
than they ever were.
Unfortunately, experience and obser-
walton are contrary to the views ex-
pressed by the Journal, and the sorry
fact has strictly logical relation to the
trend of things for years past No peo-
pie ever succeeded in keeping the moral
ity of their women much above the NOR
atty of the men for any great length of
time. In families where men drink, in
popular, hail-fellow fashion, it is inevi-
table that the women shall, sooner or
later, come to follow the example, and
it is also inevitable that just as the
drinking ruins the men, so it will ruin
the women. There have always been
women who drank in private, but the
number of women who, ten or twenty
years ago, were drinking in the privacy
of their own homes, was small in COM
parison with the number of women who
today drink publicly in the fashionable
cafes.

the one being in force as the other,
that is to say, no question at all. Yet
the court sits placidly and put it in the
hands of the jury to say whether it is
in force or not. This sort of proceed
1ng diligently followed out would
nullify every one of the criminal
statutes and produce absolute an
archy. That is what it points to.
Against such pretended legal proceed

If that sort of utterance. That means

PROHIBITION IN FINLAND
Review of Conditions in the Little
known Country That Has Out
lawed the Liquor Traffic

best summary which we have seen of
the Prohibition situation in Finland
hey are taken from an article in the
Chicago Record-H erdld by Mr.. VIM. E.
Curtis, the gentleman whose amusing
presentations in regard to the impor
tation of liquors into the Philippine
Islands Prohibitionists will never for
get. Of course, Mr.. Curtis could not be
expected to fail to lay great stress upon
the mistake of going too far" What
the outcome will be in Finland it is not
easy to predict-Editoyial note
The most recent act of general inter-
est is law passed by an almost unani-
nous vote totally abolishing the liquor
traffic 1t closes every saloon, every dis
tillery, every brewery in Finland. 1t
prohibits the use as we'll as the sale of
beer, wine and spirituous liquors of ev-
cry kind. 1t applies to private indi-
viduals as we'll as to hotels and restau-
rants, and under heavy penalty forbids
the importation or the use or even the
possession of distilled and malt liquors.
1t even forbids the use of wine at COM
munion service in the churches, [ 7 and
, the sale of liquor for medicinal purposes
is placed under the same restrictions and
regulations as the sale of poisons. Spir
its used for mechanical purposes must
be so doctored upon their importation
into the country that they cannot be used
| for a beverage.
The police are given unprecedented
power They have the right to search
private dwellings upon information that
liquor is concealed there or is in the
possession of the occupants. The pen
alties are very severe. The minimum is
fine of $40 and the maximum is penal
servitude for three years.
No provision is made to indemnify
| distillers, brewers, rectihers, dealers or
private individuals whose property may
be confscated or rendered useless by the
law. Every distillery must close for
ever, and the loss upon the investment
| falls upon the owner without any inden1-
MITIGATION whatever from the government.
This is the first law ever passed by a
national legislature prohibiting the use
of Intoxicating drinks, and in that re-
spect Finland has broken the record and
has established a precedent-for older
nations to follow 1t is unfortunate,
however, that the law is so radical and
drastic, because it will be vetoed by the
Gar and the effort will be wasted. The
grounds for the veto will be its Interior
ence with personal rights and the failure
to indemnify persons who suffer loss of
property. The measure is now in the
hands of the Gar and his veto may be
expected at any time. If the measure
had been modified so as to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of strong drinks,
with a fair indemnity to those whose
capital is invested in that business, and

Anti-iniunctions

Attorney General Wade II. Ellis of
Ohio, who was n member of the com.
mittee on resolutions of the Republican
national convention, makes the follow
ing reply to the criticisms of the plat
form made by w. j. Bryan. The at
torney general says in part:
''The charge made by Mr.. Bryan that
the Republican declaration with re-
spect to the use of the writ of injunc-
tlon was designed to deceive the la
boring man is unworthy of a candi-
date for president, and the further
charge that this plank merely declares
the existing law and will give no relief
in those cases in which there has been
an abuse or discretion or the apprehen
sion of 1t is unworthy of any lawyer
who has examined the question.
''The anti-injunction resolution is a
frank, clear statement of the Republic
an party's position ON q question on
which others have been attempting to
deceive labor. The sole basis of any
rational complaint as to the issuance
of injunctions in labor cases has been
the use of the writ without notice and
the long delays in some instances which
have interviewed before a hearing Of
the case.
"The present statute does not require
any notice at all before the granting Of
temporary order, and it is entirely
within the discretion Of the court to
postpone to any time the judge may
see fit the hearing upon the question Of
an injunction. The Republican plank
simply declares that notice shall al
ways be given unless an irreparablc
injury will result from delay, and in
that case there shall be Il speedy hear
ing provided. 1t will meet the approval
of every right thinking man, whether
an employer or an employee"

Taft and Labor,

When on the bench Judge Taft said:
That employees have right to form
labor unions.
That such unions are benefit to la
Dor and TO the public.
That they have the right to join with
other unions.
That the accumulation of a fund to
aid IN a strike is right.
That employees have a right to strike
whenever any of the terms of their
employment are unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Gompers says Judge Taft is op-
posed to organized labor. Mr.. Com
pers has done a lot of talking in his
time and has been very prolific writ
er, but in all lie has said or in all he
has written he has never given organ
lied labor more unqualified inuorse-
ment than Judge Taft gave when on
the bench.
