No Food to Spare for Booze

No Food to Spare for Booze
The News has received a free
copy Of the New York Journal.
Apparently the object OF the do
nation is to seduce US into think
ing and advocating that national
prohibition of the use of grains
in the manufacture of spurious
and malt liquors at this time
would create a worse evil by COM
polling drinkers to resort to
-wiiskey, of which there is
millions of gallons in bond, enough
to last three years. That is the
substance of the leading editorial
in the New York paper.
But we don't fall for the argu-
ment; neither will the public.
The consumption also of whiskey,
can be prohibited, or limited even,
if the government wishes to do
so; besides, two wrongs do not
make one thing right. 1t is
wrong to divert foodstuffs from
food channels when millions are
starving and then ask the people
t. double duty in trying to make
ND the shortage, and at such a
time to make more beer to keep
the people from drinking more
whiskey would not minimize the
original crime of waste in the
face of want. All eyes in Kansas
are on Washington, and we are
taking note of the attitude OF our
representatives there on this
most important question.
As citizens it is our duty to
stand back of the administration
in this hour of trial, but at the
same time we want to see the
government do its full duty to
the people. Congress and the
president are not doing their full
duty as long as they continue to
permit the waste of hundreds of

millions of bushels of grain and
other foodstufTs in the manufac-
ture of booze to weaken the
nerve and cloud the brain Of the
people. We admire Governor
Capper for the fearless stand he
has taken. He is not afraid Of
the cars. He does not temporize
with old John Barleycon.
