Regulation impossible.

To the Editor of The Times: You
say: If we can't prohibit. the next
best thing is to regulate" In your
declaration you admit that the best
thing IL to prohibit. Now the best
thing is none too good for the Ameri'
cans. The citizens Of this country
have decided In their minds that they
will have the best thing. and they are
getting prohibition rapidly. This Is
sufficient proof that sentiment Is not
lacking. AS to regulation: You can
regulate an engine, automobile. gas
electricity, water. and host Of other
things: but the liquor traffic being
unlike anything else with which we
have to do. It's regulation Is a prac
teal impossibility.
