THE RECONNAISSANCE


nooga Times, and, thus panoplied,
charges down two columns of his edi-
torial space in the Conyier-J ouy,,al and
reins up before the grand-stand with
this tremendous pronunciamento in. be-
half of the religion of corn liquor and
the liberty of the mint julep:
The fight is on, and it will be
fight to finish. Believing as it does,
the Conyier-Jomrmal will support no
man for office who equivocates upon
principle which ought to be as dear
to manly hearts as the Constitution
of the United States itself, as the
Christian religion itself-but it will
oppose him relentlessly wherever he
appears and by whatever name he
calls himself-its one purpose being
to rescue Kentucky from the rule and
reign of perfidy and pharisaism and
to save it from the fate of Maine,
Kansas and Georgia, trilogy of
states in which scoundrelism mas
querades as statesman, and the
Devil stalks abroad at high noon in
carnate and unresisted.
After struggling through all the soul
agony of the two frantic columns that
precede this conclusion, the reader in
voluntarily inquiries, with a deep ex-
piration of breath, "And is that all?
We all knew all that, months ago.
Take another pull at your bottle and
go to sleep, poor old Colonel"

THE BREWERS
ADVERTISING

The Philadelphia North american,
taking as its text the statements made
in the tremendous educational adver-
Using that the liquor interests of Penn
sylvania are now paying for to the
tune of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, presents to its readers an editorial
of such force and point that it deserves
quotation to an extent seldom accorded
any editorial commented upon in this
department. The North american says:
To those who believe that the
brewers business is harmful to the
people, wicked and morally wrong,
an exposition of the magnitude of
that business only increases the
strength of the antagonists plea.
To those who believe the general
use of malt as we'll as distilled liquors
takes an unjust share of the earnings
of the working man and, in addition,
diminishes his earning power, these
tremendous figures tend only to pro-
vide more impressive arguments.
Inferentially, the declaration of the
brewers is that to do away with or
to lessen the brewery output would
mean that the capital invested would
be lost, the labor left idle and the

THE SOCIALISTS AND THE
PROHIBITION WAVE

The International Socialist Re0iezV,
published in this city, discusses the
"Wave of Prohibition" introducing rs
remarks with reference to a resolution
recently presented in the Milwaukee
city council by the Socia1-Democrats in
favor of personal liberty and to an
article which has just appeared in the
London Social Democrat in attack upon
the temperance reformation. The tone
of the International Socialist is clearly
in harmony with these personal lib
erty" people. 1t attributes the whole
Prohibition movement to the capitalist
who wants to keep the laborer sober
that he may make more money out of
him, and says
On another page is a report of
set OF resolutions presented by the
socialist aldermen of Milwaukee in
response to movement on the part
of the capitalists to place new restric-
lions on saloons. In the same temper
is an article by H. Quelch in the
January number of the London Social
Democrat, who lashes most artistic
ally the hypocrisy of the temperance
reformers, who propose to prevent
the workingman from spending his
money for drink, so that he can live
more cheaply and thus work for lower
wages. On the other hand, an adj
dress delivered by Comrade E. Wurm
at the last national convention of the
Social-Democratic party of Germany,
which is being circulated as a propa-
ganda pamphlet by Our German COM
rades, and which we expect to publish
in next months ReviezV, explains the
evils of alcoholism as forcibly as the
Prohibitionists and much more logic
ally, and advocates practical meas
ures. The question is UP for discus
sion. The old-time Prohibition move
ment was matter of sentiment and
emotion; the new Prohibition crusade
is matter of business. In the days
that are gone a laborer could get
drunk once in while with no par
ticular injury except to his own
family if he had one, and in very

win, we'll; if he fail, at least he will
fail like man.
1--WE need self-respecting, self-sus-
tanned, manly men. Men who meas
ure their ways and master themselves.
Men who are not trussed in legal
stays and fed from nursing bottles"
Of all the arguments concerning
this and other public questions which
have come to our notice, this is the
most heartless and inhuman, the most
insolently repellant. 1t is an argu-
ment for might against right. 1t is
an open plea for turning back of
the march of civilization and a re-
version to barbarism.
We are to abandon all sense of
brotherhood We are to refrain from
care for the weak We are to for
bear safeguarding women and chill
dren suffering by reason of another's
weakness. We are to disregard the
discovery of modern medicine that
drunkenness is disease. We, born
with rugged, healthy will, are to dis
dain our brothers with the heredi-
tary faint of an irresistible craving
and give to them no sympathy, but
only aid to "fail like men"-to fall
"like men" with bodies poisoned, with
brains deadened-falling ''like men"
forsooth, with the face made in
Gods image, in the gutter mud.
Are the brewers willing in this
fight to stand upon the declaration
that among the tens of thousands OF
men who have failed and have been
dragged down by drink there have
been no self-respecting, manly men?
Do they propose to ask Americans
to forget their own history, their
greatest poet, some OF their most
gifted statesmen-to ask each and all
of us to think of some of the brilliant
minds we revered in Our schooldays
and early manhood, only to sheer
their wrecked selves aside as weak
lings better dead, merely because an
unrestricted evil kept them from be-
ing what they might have been?
Do they intend to make this fight
upon this new and monstrous plat
form that any man who favors local
option is a humbug and hypocrlte;
that any man who drinks and fails
or falls is unworthy of sympathy and
not worth saving; that the only self
respecting, manly man is he who is
SO gifted physically that stomach,
nerve and brain can stand daily drug
ging without succumbing?
The ancients believed that whom
the gods would destroy they first
make mad" We do not believe the
brewers destitute of sanity. We are
bound to look for an amendment of
their platform.
The most important fact in the mat
Ter the North american has, seemingly,
overlooked: THIS EXHIBITION OF
AND BRUTALITY is
SIMPLY A REVELATION OF THE
REAL CHARACTER OF THE
LIQUOR BUSINESS.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-02-27

other materials that enter into the
manufacture of beer
Such reasoning is faulty. For ten
years all labor, skilled and unskilled,
and all products were in demand so
great that this outlet was in no way
indispensable. And if the attempt is
made to apply the argument to
time when there is surplus of labor,
and products glut the markets, the
inevitable reply is that it is a poor
time to advocate the buying of beer
when there is not work enough to
permit the buying of bread.
But, as we have said, this comment
is made merely in passing. What we
desire particularly to criticise in the
brewers bill of rights are certain
statements which are Incorporate and
untruthful, and which show a degree
of intolerance and unfairness which
can do the brewers nothing but
harm.
These things are what the brewers
say about all who favor the principle
of local option:
"In the name of virtue they would
perpetrate tremendous robbery and
thank the Deity for the success of
their dishonesty.
"The question involved is not one of
whisky or no whisky, nor of sobriety
or intemperance, but of license and
S. law versus Prohibition and lawless-
ness Of free manliness versus hypo-
critical humbug"
These are some of the signed, Off
cial utterances of the Pennsylvania
State Brewers Association. Every
citizen who believes in local option is
thus stigmatized And this in despite
of the fact that local option is
not Prohibition, but local self-gov-
ernment-the embodiment of the prin-
ciple that each community should
exercise its police power for the
greatest good of the greatest num-
ber," which is the very essence of the
personal liberty which is guaranteed
to the people by the constitutions of
the state and nation.
The most fanatical of Prohibition
lists never uttered words more lnJud1-
cious, more exaggerated, or more
hurtful to his cause than these will
be to the contentious of the brewers.
But they are not content with vent
ing this slanderous abuse upon a great
body of citizens They make what
we believe will prove to be another
costly, if not fatal, blunder. They
are not satisfied with self-defense.
They stretch out the helping hand
of brotherhood to the distiller, the
rectiher, the dealer in pure and adul-
terated liquors without distinction,
the hotel keeper without regard to
whether his license is a convenience
of a reputable house or the shield to
the worst of dives. The cause of all
interested in the traffic they make
their own
They calmly state that brewers,
distillers. and hotelkeepers occupy
more favorable position than the
members of any other profession or
calling They serve notice that they
will make common cause with every
interest associated with the drink
traffic. They debar themselves delib-
erately from any future chance to
deny that they condone the wrongs
of any branch of the liquor trade.
