They have been suffered to exist too
long.
| 1t Is a day of downing evils. The
world can never grow better until we
have the mastery over power-mad
autocracy, greed, lust and crime-and
all of these are promoted by booze.
A writer to the New York World
says:
Thirty years ago, when l entered
business life, Prohibitionists were
deemed lacking in mental poise. and l
we'll remember the ridicule to which a
poor workingman who stood for the AS
sembly in the First New York District
was subjected. 1t was thought that in
stead Of being candidate for the Leg
islature he should have submitted to
an examination preliminary to being
sent to an asylum for the insane. But
year after year this apostle OF total
abstinence, shoulder to shoulder with
several others whom l knew but with
whom disagreed, kept up what at the
time seemed to be a hopeless struggle.
Yes. too held the view that these men
were laundering in a vacuum.
But after the lapse of years the seeds
sown by Prohibitionists have borne
good fruit, and the process has been
ably aided by the liquor interests
Ably aided I reiterate. for is it not
well known to observers that the liquor
traffic thHived by f1outing the law, by
harboring persons of ill-repute and by
sappiHg the life-blood of the weak
willed? And. incidentally. many dealers
have waxed fat in a material. way by
dispensing the most inferior grades of
liquor.
Honest men, some of whom still are
in the business, men who have en-
deavored to conduct decent places.
concede that the liquor trade has in
vited the anathema now being heaped
upon it. Belated efforts to reform the
morals of the traffic, tantamount as
they arctic confession of misdeeds,
will not avail.
Practically all of my acquaintance,
some of whom are men with business
that takes them into convivial gather
ings. are moderate drinkers, but / fail
to hear any of them lifting voice
against the. immediate adoption of the
Prohibition Amendment. AS to what
they would do at the polls | cannot
venture a prediction.
BUTT is the psychology Of the situa-
ton, the vastly changed attitude of the
public toward Prohibition, that inter-
,ests the student Of social trends, and
at this iuncture patriotism. prejudice
against Germans and a desire for bet
ter mental and physical efficiency are
large factors in the movement ,

Where the Loyalty Is.

The Los Angeles Times, one of the
most influential Republican newspa-
pers on the Pacific coast declares at
this time that 1.-The next Congress must
be Congress in khaki The Times
leads up to this declaration by point
ing out that the foes of America are
imagining that this country will not
eign war and q political campaign al
the same time. 1t affirms the faith OF
all when il says that our foes will
discover when the elections arc over
that, despite minor differences or
methods. there is just one party in the
United States at this time. and that
is what our enemies would term a wal
party" In order to clinch it's own
position the Los Angeles paper says:
The Times proclaims at the outset
while not renouncing one iota of its
proved republicanism, that a demo-
cratic Congress which will sanely sup
port the administration is to be pre-
ferred to a republican Congress elect
ed by pacitist and pro-German sup
port. Springfield Republican.
In that case let us hope the Times
will use it's influence to replace with
loyal Republican Americans such as
Senators Reed. Chamberlain and
Hitchcock and their kind in both
houses.

1t Is a Case of Getting Wheat.

The Senate has been furiously de-
batting for two days bill raising the
minimum price of wheat to $3.50 a
bushel, but can anyone be convinced
that price fixing of any kind of COM
ton for political body like the Sem
ate? Price fixing is essentially an adj
ministrative function, if it is to be toll
Grated at all. Senators for the most
part will reflect the selfish interests of
their constituents in voting on such
a question. The price fixing authority
should, on the contrary. be controlled
by national interests broadly consid-
cred rather than by the desires of
some wheat growers in Oklahoma or
the Dakotas. Nothing is surer TO make
price-fixing in this war failure than
interference by such body of poll
ticians as the Scnate.-Springfield Re
publican.
Perhaps our contemporary has
missed something, in taking it's high
ground which would he normally right.
We have reason to believe that many
Of the senators who advocate a higher
price for wheat than that fixed by the
executive, were actuated, in this alb
normal time, by a desire to produce
wheat. Within week we have re-
ceived the personal assurance of a
senator who has no interests in Okla
homa, the Dakotas or other wheat
growing section. that he fears the adj
ministration's plan is a fatal blunder;
that the government fixed price of
wheat at lower figure than the sup
ply and demand price of rye, barley
and corn will result in greatly reduced
wheat acreage.
In other words, the farmers are
patriotic but resent being made the
goat botf going and coming
Perhaps eastern senators had some
of these things, which the, Republican
had not noticed in mind
Next fall VIC shall need wheat more
than we do now. and so will our allies
whether the war ends or not
