F. w. Peglow, prosperous merchant
and wideawake alderman from the
The Washington herald., 1916-08-01
Prohibition for the District.

Senator Jones, of Washington, and Senator
Sheppard, of Texas, are sincere believers in pro-
hibition.
To advance the cause of temperance they are
both courageous and loyal Their fealty and
devotion to the principle of absolute abstinence
from alcoholic stmulants as aid to the ad-
vancement of mankind generally cannot be Ques-
toned
And yet their desire to make the District of
Columbia an agent for demonstrating the value
of their belief must be seriously questioned.
If the enforcement of the excise law in the
District was such that mal-administration was
predominant and ineficency without due re-
gard for the law prevailed, then their arguments
might demand more serious consideration,
But the excise law has been enforced to the
spirit and letter and a.. impartial investigation of
the matter will disclose it.
The District has many among its temporary
population who come from cities or commune
ties where the evasion of the excise law is COM
mon and such evasion is popular. We entertain
others, who come from communities where the
Prohibitory amendment has been enforced to the
spirit of the letter. with more or less success.
If it were possible to poll those living in the
District who have come from such sections we
venture that the preponderance of opinion would
support the conclusion that the excise law is
well enforced in the District.
There is violent abuse of the privileges
that the Commission grants to those engaged in
the liquor business. There is no intimaton that
the granting of licenses is surrounded by an
atmosphere that indicates dishonesty or even
abnormal influence There is desire on the
part of all license holders to live up to the let
ter and spirit of the law. Then why single out
Washington for experiment?
Nearly everybody comedies there are other
cities where the abuse of the excise laws consti-
tute public scandal. The enforcement of pro-
hibitory laws is interviewer with graft and
theft that it is nothing than legalized
brgandage. There is real work for the advocates
OF prohibition There they can find real argu-
ments. There their arguments will apply with
more than ordinary force.
Washington has been the uncomplaining VIC
tim Of many legislators who like to apply their
pet theories Its citizens have no vote, hence
there is political effect to consider in actions
affecting the District.
Nevertheless, Washington citizens have GER
tain rights that ought to weigh just as heavily
with members OF Congress as those cities Of
similar size that have the ballot.
While we have msgivings to the city
OF Washington becoming the example city" for
followers OF prohibition, we still believe that
Senators Jones and Sheppard might we'll turn
their attention to other places where the remedy
they would apply is more needed.
