HUMANITY" FOR THE GIN MILL

The periodical which carries the sounding
name, "Hmmanity," and emanates from ST. Louis.
presents to its readers, as the opening article of
its February number. an effusion sober by Act
of the Legislature" bearing as the authors
name, FREDERIC B. EsLER. The article is an at
tack upon the Prohibition policy that bears tes-
timony to degree of ignorance bgotry and
mendacty upon the part of its writer that is
hardly surpassed in any of the fake advertising
matter which is being furnished the daily papers
of the country by the brewers or the whisky
trust.
Mr.. EsLER is evidently panic-stricken at the
progress of the Prohibition movement He
speaks of it as "a revolution in politics and social
life of much far-reaching Importance" He de-
clares that unless this movement is stopped or
exhausts itself, there will be state east of the
Rocky Mountains in which the manufacture and
sale of spirits is not prohibited
1t is evidently this dread specter that drives
Mr.. EsLER into the arena to do battle for the gin
mill. He marks out his ground without the
slightest regard for truth.
The election of BERRY as state chairman of
Pennsylvania, is an example of Prohibition cor
rupton. instead of what men know it to be-a
tremendous unearthing of old party rascality
Georgia has prohibited the use of wine, even in
the communion service.
Bankruptcy confronts small towns and cities,
ct cetera and ct cetera.
Then when Mr.. EsLER comes to his discussion
he lays down two propositions: First Prohi-
bitlon by legislative act has never succeeded in
even measurably stopping intemperance for any
considerable time. Second that the propaganda
is neither moral nor religious but in direct con-
travention of both.'
To prove his first contention, Mr. EsLER with
an intelligence that might have been expected
from the revelations he makes of himself from
his first line, rakes English history and succeeds
in proving that regulative legislation from the
days of EDGAR, the Peaceful, has failed to check
drunkenness. 1t is 1amentabe that someone was
not in the chair to call EsLER's attention to the
fact that he was not talking to the question
Coming to the United States, EsLER re-hashes
the old stuff that the liquor traffic has paid
to have inserted in the lying advertising columns
of the daily papers for twenty years past, and,
maintaining to the end his sublime disregard of
any just proportion of things, quotes President

GOVERNMENT STATISTICS OF DRINK
By Dr. T. B. CRANFILI

TN his weekly contribution, National Issue
Flashlights sent out from national headquar
tiers, DR.. J. B. Cranfeld makes observations
about our government liquor statistics. The sug
gestion that tax certificates which it is not es-
pected to use are bought for moral effect is
doubtless we'll founded The challenge of the
correctness of the governments statistics of
manufacture and consumption we are not inclined
to accept. To anyone familiar with the char
acter of these statistics their Justification appears
practically mpossible.-Editorial Note.
noticed recently in dispatch that was sent
out from Washington, and evidently inspired
by the bureau of the beer and liquor men,
statement to the effect that, since the adoption
of Prohibition in the state of Oklahoma, one
thousand internal revenue licenses had been taken
out and paid for. This indicates that the liquor
men are up to their old tricks again 1t has
always been their custom, in order to discount
the Prohibition law and reverse Prohibition
sentiment, to buy large number of licenses that
they never hope to use, in order to make the
impression that the Prohibition law is ineffective,
and that more whisky is being sold under Pro-
hibition than under license. Let all of these sta
tstics and all of these reports concerning internal
revenue licenses be taken with many grains of
salt
The statistics that are annually sent out from
Washington concerning the liquor traffic are, in
my judgment, doctored statistics. I was greatly
interested in a recent bulletin from the internal
revenue department, which made startling dis
closures concerning the increase in the consump-
ton of all kinds of liquors. In view of the fact
that there is constantly maintained at Washing
ton a lobby in the interest of the beer and
liquor trades, and nasmuch there are millions
of dollars invested in the traffic, it is not more
unreasonable that the internal revenue figures
should be doctored than that the cotton figures
were doctored. I may be a hayseed and from
Missouri In any event, they will have to show
me.
