Two weeks ago to-day The Tribune
printed the first of it's daily series
of comment designed to help clear up
the problem of liquor. Few who
have read the illuminating letters on
the subject can still remain neu-
trail. To-day there is more food for
thought and for discussion.
Five thousand dollars for the Red
Cross is not going to be kept from
that worthy organization if thdasso-
ciate secretary of the Board of Tenn
perance of the Presbyterian Church
can help it. He promises the presi-
dent of the New York Liquor Dealers
that if he will deposit certified
check for $4,000 the proofs that
liquor is the chief cause of insanity,
crime, poverty and disease will be
Forthcoming.

Liquor Wastes
Food, Labor and Life

There are three major reasons
for condemning liquor, which are
summed up as follows by the field
secretary of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America:
Food labor, life. These are the chief
factors in winning the war, and the
liquor men are wasting all threel
They are wasting food. Last year the
waste amounted to 7,000,000,000 pounds
of foodstuffs And they have no right
to starve some men by making others
drunk!
They are wasting labor About 300,-
900 men are engaged in the manufact-
ure, sale and distribution of booze, in
breweres, saloons and restaurants. as
brewers, bartenders and waiters-at a
time when every man is needed in
some useful occupation to help win the
war. The labor Of these 100000 men
is worse than wasted; no possible good
can come of it, but much harm is done.
They are wasting life. Bartenders,
brewery workers and walters in saloons
lose an average of six years of life on
account of their occupations. If the
100000 men who make and sell booze

Put Up Your Money, Is Prohibitionist
Reply to Liquor Dealers Challenge

, Drink a Soul Hungerw has at
tracted such wide attention since
published in The Tribune two weeks
ago to-day. The following delightful
discussion, throws further light on
the craving for liquor.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We Americans are highly char
liable and sympathetic people. We give
freely, ungrudgingly-of the kinds of
things we know how to give.
At the sight of a man eating out of
an ash barrel we are Mortified. And
we hasten to give relief.
What the great body of people does
not understand-what only q few of
my own profession have begun to un-
derstand-is that in each and every one
Of us there is as distinctly two diff
ferent persons, dual personality, as
if we had two bodies joined like the
Siamese twins.
One of these is the physical body
needing food, light, drink. air, exercise
and rest. The other is the mental or
emotional man, which must have it's
own kind of food just as imperatively
as the physical man. Without it this

as quickly as the physical body.
When you smell the fumes of alcohol
on a man, or when you see poor
wretch reeling down the street, you
see a man who literally has been feed
ing out of the ash cannot his physi-
cal, but his mental self.
His fumed breath or his reeling gait
hold the brand of mental inability to
achieve in the world Of reality, as truly
as would scarlet I'D" upon his fore
head or slit ear.
The sight may be repulsive, but on
the other hand without some kind Of
feeding the man will mentally die.
A Substitute for
Achievement
Such man has failed to achieve to
win enough recognition and encourage
ment from his fellow man to feed his
starving soul. This is the type of man
who takes to alcohol automatically as
a refuge. For a dime or quarter he
can be back in five minutes in the
Kingdom of Youth. where all is prom
Use and radiant with hope.
Without a certain amount of mental
youth life drags out in a way intoler-
able to many people. Most of us can
win back this spring and zest of youth
with a sound nights sleep. There are

lose an average of six years of life. it
makes total of 100000 years Of life
The average man works about thirty
years-so that the liquor traffic is US
ing up the equivalent of 10000 men in
each generation. And this is too great
price for the nation to pay.
For these reasons-frst, the waste
of food; second, the waste of labor;
third, the waste of lfe---we have a
right to demand that the liquor busi-
ness be abolished.
CHARLES STELZLE.
The Reason for
Federal Legislation
In the following discussion of the
proposed Federal amendment and
amendments already enacted, E. E.
Israel, of Newburgh, N. Y, clears up
some of the points questioned re-
Gently by Widden Graham.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Whidden Graham makes
some of the most astounding asser-
tions that could emanate from a hu-
man brain, in a recent issue of your
paper, which seem to me the ultimate
extreme of absurdity He asks:
"What is the excuse for national
amendment, when the Webb-Kenyon
law makes state prohibition perfect? %
The same excuse that called for the
enactment of the Fourteenth Consti-
tutional Amendment, making slavery
States, though that question had been
definitely settled by the arbitrament
of the sword.
Next, he asks how the Federal gov
ernment can more effectively enforce
laws that are ineffective because local
sentiment does not support them.
Local officers are amenable to local
influences, and have been known to
violate their oath of Office through the
political powers of the liquor traffic
A Federal enactment cannot be so cas-
lily dcfed. Before the Webb-Kenyon
law, blind tigers might and did fail
to pay to state and city licenses, but
never neglected the Federal tax.
Then, assuming the valueless char
acter of the Fifteenth Amendment, he
would be as easily ignored.
I am Northern born and bred, but
lived for fifteen years in Louisiana
and I know all about the conditions
surrounding the so-called defiant VIC
lation of the Fifteenth Amendment. l
know from the lips of men of high
standing what horrors the people OF
Louisiana suffered when the Fifteenth
Amendment was enforced to the letter
by it's meaning by Federal bayonets
when only a handful of white men sat
in it's Legislature. when the laws were
made and enforced by a welter Of ig-
norant negroes and the state Senate
was presided over by mulatto.
know, too, that a negro can vote if he
will fit himself according to the laws
New-York tribune., 1918-05-05

of the state The restrictions are
aimed at the ignorant and vicious,
who. were they allowed the unrestrict-
ed use Of the ballot, would bring back
the horrors Of carpet bag government.
1t would be we'll for our Northern
states if some such laws were enacted
for the restriction of the use of the
ballot by that portion of the electorate
no more justly entitled to its use than
the utterly incapable and ignorant
plantation "nigger." The Southern
just how to handle him, and it ill-be-
comes Northern men to criticise his
solution of a problem they never have
viewed close at hand.
The question of the prohibition of
the liquor traffic is not parallel in
any sense. 1t is not aimed primarily
at personal habits, but at the political
power Of the liquor traffic. Every
time it shouts "Prohibition does not
prohibit" it proclaims it's inherent in
solent lawlessness and its brazen dec
laration that no matter what laws are
passed it will defy them anyhow. 1t
is time that such lawless trade be
destroyed, root and branch. irrespec-
tive of the personal habits and tastes
of the minority. For 20 one will as
sumo tina. the majority of man, wom-
en- and children in this country are
addicted to drink.
Finally, Mr. Graham wields an argu-
ment that cuts both ways and more
viciously in favor than against the dry
side. How unjust it will be, he mourns
for thirteen dry states to stand in the
way of establishment Of the license
system should it happen that thirty-five
wished to return to the license policy
after having established prohibition!
His attitude toward this problem
gives his viewpoint strange slant as
to justice in the matter. The country
can be overwhelmingly in favor of pro-
hibition, yet thirteen states can balk
the will of the thirty-five, though only
a small majority in these thirteen may
prefer the wet policy. Does he assume
that after such an overwhelming ma
jority has planted prohibition in our
Constitution there is likely to be such
q revolution of opinion that thirty
five states will clamor for the rein
statement Of the liquor traffic which
thirteen stubborn minority states will
block? If this is unjust, how about the
injustice Of the turn about situation as
it will be before the drys win?
This is argument reduced to absurd.
lty with vengeance.
