Against Public Policy

The results of the national prohibition amendment
to the food bill passed by the House precisely what
might have been expected. Of the first
sequence to the successful prosecution of the war is
halted. bitter fight issue only indirectly con-
nected with it is precptated and the plans of the Gov
emment for raising revenue seriously obstructed
Those who believe in temperance rather than abstinence
will agree that the drink bill of the nation ought to be
cut down. that the production of the lighter aco-
hoc beverages ought to be restricted if this is necessary
to conserve the food supply But to divide public sent
ment at time when it ought to be united, to delay
imperatvey necessary piece of legislation in order to
settle ofhand social and economic question which
is slowly settling itself. to tie the hands of the Ad
mnistraton when they ought to be most free The pro-
German propagandss could do no more.
Should the Senate assent to the action of the House.
the country would face very serious situation. In the
first place. large industries would be ruined They may
be industries which have wrought harm to the COM

legazed and their destruction would involve property
loss which would affect other industries as we'll Large
cities like Philadelphia would suffer no small financial
generalization before they could adjust themselves to
the altered conditions. In the second pace-and this
is perhaps the more important consideration from a
social point of view-inense resentment would be Gre
ated among large number of citizens particularly
among the working classes. 1t would not be the hard
drinkers and the wastrels only who would be affected
The sober and industrious men who rightly or wrongly
find in the moderate use of beer and wine what they
regard as sautary refreshment and enjoyment would
find their enthusiasm for the war severely tested
Apart from all other aspects of the matter the
loss of employment to nearly million men. the injury
to real estate values the placing of new burden of
taxation, national State and municipal upon those who
already paying their full share, is against every
principle of sound public policy This is not sane egs
laton whatever else it may be.

A Mistake in the Food Bill

The prompt passage of the Administration Food
Control bill by an almost unanimous vote by the House
Of Representatives in itself gratifying evidence of
the desire of that body give prompt and decisive sup
port to the Governments war policy. The Senate has
been giving almost as much time and attention to the
if it not necessary for to orig
mate in the House. and it is to be hoped that it may act
with similar promptness this week and with as near an
approach to unanimity.y That would have great
moral effect" upon sentiment not only in this country.
but abroad
The bill passed the House by vote of 365 to 5.
but the Webb prohibition amendment was thrust into it
by vote of I32 to IA, the total falling nearly I20
below the affirmative on the final passage Putting this
radical provision in the bill a sad mistake and is
likely to cause contention and delay the final vote Even
in its validity is questionable, and after
the war it could not be continued without change in
the Constitution Enforcing the policy which it represents
would be dreadfuly costly and deal of in
justice and dissatisfaction Great property interests would
be sacrificed and serious industrial and commercial dis
turbance would be caused at time when above ALL that
should be avoided Taking occasion of such an exgency
to force an absolute prohibition policy upon the Govern
ment is discredtabe to those who even assent to it.
The way the provision stood in the Lever bill would
accomplish all that was reasonably to be expected in
limiting the use of food products during the war for
making stimulating beverages, No grain could be used
for distilled liquors. and limit could be put upon their
use for brewing Liquors already distilled and in storage
could be commandeered for legitimate medical and
mechanical use and beer and wines could continue in
use under certain restrictions. This going far enough
for the emergency and might result in much progress in
the general policy of temperance if of abstinence
This provision in the bill passed by the House would
sacrifice good deal of needed revenue and do far
harm than good all around 1t should be cut out.

me to distinguish it. And the thing

Sturtevant admits he was badly

strength the cat had left in him, he
grabbed 1t by the back Of the neck
and threw 1t through the open win
