The System
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
tCopyr.ehl 1910. h> Frank trane)


Warden Osborne of sing sing prison
n, last yielded To ,ae pressure of The
system and resigned
He entered upon the work of prison
reform full of the enthusiasm of Ideas.
HE came out-Iust about alive.
He had gone mp against The System.
Which is about the same as man with
his bare hands attacking "a saw-toothed
tiger in It's lair. or httie girl trying
10 push over "a British armored tank.
The System is still with us 1t has
been with ms from the beginning II is
the most active known mau-eatIug ma
chime
Il got Socrates in Athens, Jesus in
Jerusalem Savonaroia in Florence, and
how can lesser men hope to escape?
The system is as slippery as it is pow
'riuI You cannot hold il by It's shiny
tai nor keep a lasso around its oozy neck.
You can't even see it when YOU look
at IT, It is as evanesccuty invisible as 1t
j., pachydermously jmpenctrabie.
While 1t controls courts, legislatures,
police newspaper preachers and society
leaders. YOU carua, put your hand on
amy one person and say he belongs.
The System Is not a personal affair.
Il d, uncanny. He who fights it "wres-
ties not with flesh and blood but against
the rulers Of the darkness Of this world.
against perverted spirit, in high places.

A word in particular TO Wayne county
and Detroit officials who will have in
charge the enforcement Of the prohibI-
ton law during their respective terms
If We were in your places we would be-
quite particular to refrain from any 20.
litical alliances (booze alliances, especial.
ly), which would be likely 10 prove en-
barassing after May /, 1913.
On that day you will be expected to
enforce the prohibition law TO the letter.
and from that day you will be expected
to see that II is kept in force
And you will be watched, closer than
Detroit and Wayne county officials were
ever watched, for any sign from you that
YOU may have misunderstood the dry
majority Of Nov Z, 1916.
The Times will be glad 10 take part
in the watching.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1916-11-10
The Idea Is, Gentlemen,
It's Part of the Contract
You Have Entered Into

To officers of the law te,ecu OF De-
troit. the county of Wayne and the com
monweath Of Michigan
Gentlemen:
You have noted. no doubt, thar the
people Of your state have voted it dry.
You have taken cognizance, no doubt.
Of the size of the majority by which the
people Of your state have banished booze
and declared that the saloon must -.
If it has not struck YOU that this ma
jority emphasizes just what he people
want. and expresses an earnestness in
dicating that the people MEAN WHAT
THEY HAVE SAID, we suggest to YOU
that the sooner you take another look
at that dry majority the better it viii
be for your political futures.
Michigan has not gone dry half-heart-
eddy.
Keep that in mind.
Michigan has not gone dry whole
heartedly with any iuea of permitting
any of you officials TO undo, in any de-
gree, what Michigan has done
The dry majority means that when
the time comes, it will be expected Of YOU
and it will be up to you to SEE that Mich
igan goes dry on scheduled time and
stays dry.
One of the many arguments advanced
by the vets in their hopeless fight TO
save themselves, was that prohibition
does not prohibit.
That argument was an insult 10 every
man running for any office carrying POI
lice, prosecuting or appointive authority
providing he ran for his Office in good
faith and with the intention Of doing his
full duty if elected.
The people of Michigan have voted for
prohibition because they are convinced
that it can prohibit, and having voted
for it, they are determined that it SHALL
prohibit
They are determined that you officials
shall MAKE CERTAIN that prohibition
prohibits.
They are determined, in case you Of
6cials prove that your eye haven't beer
opened TO the side your bread is buttered
on. that YOU shall get out of Office a,
their first opportunity to put YOU out.
and, believe us, you will get out
Once again: See dry vote.

WORLDS PEACE WILL COME BY
 ONLY ONE WAY
CompaCtS of Nations Is Not Correct Method
 Says President in
 Banquet Speech.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Iresident Wilson, speaking at a banquet fol- lowing the Illuminating of the Sta tue of Liberty Saturday night, said ill part;
 Only the light that we can con- tribute to the illumination of the world is the light that shines out of our own lives.
 We must illuminate Liberty in our lives. We must illuminate Lib- elty in our lives with all due re- spect for those who represent other nations not governed as ours.
 T do not think that the nations ruled by small groups of men can be successful"
 The President declared that the peace of the world would come not by cOmpacts of nations but by sym pathies of men.

WiIl Appear Tomorrow at Joint Session and Discuss the
 Railroad Laws
DINNERS BEING PLANNED
Rural Districts Against Food Embargo; Wilson Also Has Certain
 Solutions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Tomorrow President Wilson will go before a joint session Of Congress, and read his annual message. "Wednesday he will entertain William Jennings 5ry- an and wife at a luncheon at the White House. Thursday night will be given a dinner in honor of Vance Mccormick, chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee, to which have been invited the members of the Democratic and Progressive Cam paisn committees.
 Very soon President Wilson will make nominations to the tariff com mission.
 CELEBRATE VICTORY
 The dinners being given at the White House are in the nature Of a celebration of the Democratic vic tory.
 The Presidents message tomorrow contains about 2,ooO woras and is among the shortest documents of the kind on record. lt is understood that the President will emphasize the uncompleted legislation on rail- roads to meet the threatened railroad strike as the most pressing problem facing Congress.
 EMBARGO SITUATION
 There is not likely 10 be any em- bargo on foodstuffs, or any other kind of an embargo Despite the announcement of Representative Fitz- gerald that he will introduce a bill for foodstuffs embargo, opposition from the rural districts makes such proposal almost impossible. All Mir. Fitzgerald will succeed in doing is to stir up the whole question of embargo all along the line. The ru- ral members will retaliste by demand ing an embargo on manufactured pro- ducts, especially arms and smmuni- ton.
 President Wilson, it can be stated, dees not believe an embargo is the solution of the high cost Of living. His knowledge of American history has taught him that the last time such a remedy was adopted, back in 1874. it failed Of its purpose and brought great distress to many in- dustries, and was the cause of hard times.
 The White House will use it's in- flueee against the Fitzgerald pro- posal. but there is likely to be big fight over it in Congress. Both the Senate and House have a majority of members who would oppose these proposals on final vote. There is slight doubt about the action of the House, but the attitude of the Sen ate is certain.
