Not Fair to the President

Now when nationwide Prohibition looms large
dominant issue that be settled by the peo-
ple somebody is endeavoring to make it appear that
President Wilson favors only local option policy
in dealing with the liquor question National Super
intendent P. A Baker, in interview in Washington
few days ago, gave the facts in the case to which
these bodies refer Mr. Bakers statement has recev-
ed wide publicity and throws different light upon
the incident.
In May, 1911 local option was an issue in the
state of New Jersey, it is today. President Wilson
was then Governor of that state and, in letter to
DR.. Shannon, Superintendent of the Ant-Saloon
League of New Jersey advocated the principle of local
option in dealing with the saloon in New Jersey How
ever, in July of that year, Mr. Wilson wrote an
other letter to E. w. Grogan of Texas where state
wide Prohibition fight being waged in which he
said that he believed for states statewide Proh
bton possible and desirable, and that he had "no
reason to doubt from what I know of the crcum-
stances that statewide Prohibition is both practicable
and desirable in Texas"
Here is evidence that the President four wears
ago did not believe the local option method the only
desirable way of dealing with the liquor problem It
unfair at this time in face of the tremendous growth

The Pot Calls the Kettle Black

For time the brewers have been irving to
break the news gently to the distlers that they will
have to part company with them. The Brewers As
soc1aton OF the famous beer state of Wisconsin has
taken the rst definite step in the threatened divorce
proceedings. These topnochers in the brewery pro-
lesson have no doubt set example that will be fol-
lowed by the rest of the fraternity They are in favor
OF Senator Bosshards bill pending in the legislature
which provides that the voters of locality be given
the right to decide not only whether license or no.
license shall prevail, but also decide whether the
saloon shall be allowed to sell beer only or beer and
whisky. The Wisconsin Brewers Association is per
fecty willing to let the people annhilate the dister
II they will only let the brewer live.
The Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association of
that state opposes this bill with an argument which
clearly proves that the Wisconsin dstiller thinks no
more OF the Wisconsin brewers virtue than the brewer
does OF the distillers. The gst of this argument is
that the beer saloon would sell whisky whether H.
censed to do SO or not. In other Words the beer
seller has regard for law This raises an interest
ing question in the minds of the people, Where would
the beer seller get the whisky, if not from the dis
tiller who in such case would knowingly be AIDING
and abettng criminal?
he time has come for the people to decide the.
little controversy by divorcing both brewer and dis
hller from every community in the land.
