1T is AN HONEST WAY

An ELECTION with prohibition as the
IA leading or only question at issue is
inevitable, and the people OF Pennsylvania
can no more dodge it than they can pre-.
vent election days from appearing on the
calendar. The prohibitlonlsts have sun.
cient strength either TO defeat or to punish
severely any party which appears to favor
liquor more than its opponents do. 1t is
obvious that leaders Of both parties are
worried, that political issues are brushed
aside by discussion OF this social problem
and that until a plan of action has been
accepted by both parties the policy of this
great Commonwealth will be very difficult
to determine
The argument for separate referendum
election on the prohibition question is un.
answerablc. Men Of both parties. IRE.
spective of their opinions about liquor,
should accept this principle as the only
honest basis for procedure and. in fact,
as the only sure method of arriving at
any decision about liquor at all. A voter
can vote yes" or mo- in a referendum,
and experience has shown that no Legis.
lature has the insolcnce to disregard the
peoples will after granting referendum.
Experience also has shown that the aver
age legislator cannot be so surely pledged
by his party platform as by referendum.
But suprcmely important is the fact that
If liquor is TO continue to be the chief
issue between now and November men of
inferior craftsmanship may easily slip into
office if they are clever or deceitful enough
to win votes from both the liquor and anti.
liquor camps through highly technical pro.
grams or promises.
But. say the prohibitionsts the refer.
endum is the suggestion of the liquor
party. How, they ask. can we trust this
legislator or that legislator to keep a
pledge to provide for referendum?
How, we reply, can YOU trust this or that
legislator, pledged to prohibition. to keep
his prohibition pledge if you cannot trust
him to keep his referendum pledge? Men
who break one promise break all promises
IL then, we cannot be assured by various
candidates for the State Legislature as to
just what shade of opinion their intentions
in regard to liquor favor. let us go over
.heir heads to the responsible leaders, the
candidates for Governor, and pledge them
to stand, not for or against prohibition
but for or against Il referendum on prohi
bition, a question which no honest man can
dodge, whether he is for liquor or not We
believe that every leader big or little. I'm
both parties would be forced to say yes
to this, and thus the principle would bc

and the liquor question. kept separate as i,

PENNYPACKER DID NOT RECANT

FTIiE late Governor Pennypacker has dis.

his autobiography he would reverse his
position about the Capitol scandal in
today's installment he has nothing TO
say of the waste of money in the under.
taking save that the opposition with
great ingenuity" added the cost of the
furniture, metallic cases and general
equipment to the cost of the building" lie
does describe the eXpedent adopted by the
politicians to counteract the effect of the
charges of waste of public money, and he
seems to be pleased that the voters who
went to Harrisburg on the cheap eXcur-
sions arranged to accommodate them were
convinced that no matter what the new
building cost it was worth it.
The few hundred words devoted to this
subject arc as interesting "a revelation of
the workings of the mind of the distin-
guished Governor as anything that has
appeared in the course of the autobiog.

PROHIBITION IMPRACTICAL
Opinion of the Former Chief ,Judicia,
Officer of the State of
New York

LNDGAE NJ. CULLEN, n distinguished
IL Democratic lawyer, who retired on ac-
count of age from the chief judgeship of the
New York Court OF Appeals, the highest
court OF the State, is strongly opposed to the
adoption Of the prohibition amendment 10
the Constitution. lie has given his objections
In an interview in the New York Times.
from which the following pertinent extracts
are made:
Let US see what will he the practical
result OF an attempt to enforce nationwide
prohibition. The movement has it's strength
in the rural parts of the country. its onno-
sition in the cities. The United States ia
continually becoming more and more indus
trial and less agricultural. Indeed the rural
population In many, IL not in most of the
states is actually decreasing while the popu-
latlon of the cities is Increasing by LEAPS
and bounds. Even in the prohibition States
the majority of the inhabitants of large
cities are opposed to prohibition Especially
IS that true OF the artisans or workingmen
so called. 1t is from that class chiefly that
the political party which controls the South
has in the North its adherents IL that class
Is aliena.ed the party that represents the
South will for many years have small chance
of again controlling the national Govern
ment
Moreover. with any enforcement of ma
tional prohibition will go the enforcement
of all the provisions of the Federal Consti-
tuition. II will not be tolerated that. when
New York is forced to obey an eighteenth
amendment, Mississippi may ignore or eyade
the fifteenth amendment The southern pro-
hibitionists Will get neither sympathy nor
support In that matter from the northern
prohibitionists. The great ma ajority of north
er1l prohibitionsts are as radical on the
negro question as they are on the louor
question Already one of the leading New
York journals has declared that now that
the Government has taken over the railroads
Jim Crow cars and similar arrangements
for segregating the races on public convey
ances must cease. This Is what the South
must face.
"Finally there is no justification for Fed
eral control of the subject at all We all
believe In home rule. The observance of this
principle, instead of weakening our LOYALTY
to national unity, Is the dominant cause of
our great devotion to It. 1t needs no amend
ment of the Constitution to protect the rights
of prohibition States. Under recent acts M

Court constituting them prohibition State
