No good can come from the Brewers
and their product-beer-whic is In
toxicating. and more or less democrat
izing in it's effects.
The one. the most pronounced incen-
tive of the men who favor prohibition,
is not to dictate what any individual
shall drink. but it is to make unlawful
the sale and traffic in intoxicants in
saloons and in dives where. evil in
fiuence is operating against the public
welfare.
If the sale of beer was permitted,
beer saloons and beer dives would
faunt their defiance at decency as In
the past. but there is another aspect Of
this undesirable encouragement of this
evil. which is economic. The grain
which il used for the product of beer
and intOxicantS should be nlanufact-
ured into bread. in substances that are
productive of good for mankind-nOt
evils.
If the record of the states which
have pronounced for prohibition, not
only of whiSkey but of beer, has any
significance. it is that the greatest
majority of the people-the citizens of
| the United States-favOr prohibition,
and this record should have been the
safe guide of President Wilson.
To say the least. it is unfortunate.
and. indeed. it is regrettable that Pres
ident Wilson has interposed in this

President Wilson'S Mistake,
4 the Shreveport Caucasian.1

From the Shreveport Caucasian.1
If there is a mortal for whom we ell
terrain the greatest of esteem. that
mortal is President Woodrow Wilson.
As mortal he could not be perfect.
hut throughout his career as the head
of this nation of the United States he
has demonstrated craftsmanship to Il
wonderful degree. and his patriotism is
beyond limits of fair criticism. 1t is
stated in all candor that, from the
CdHcdsian's view. President Wilson's
recommendation to repeal the prohibit
ton amendment as to beer and wine
is a mistake.
1t is a concession to the Brewers
and discrimination against the Dis
tiilerS.
Of the two evils whiskey is the least
as may be proven statistically. Beer
is no less intoxicating than whiskey
besides. of all the offenders against
the law. the Brewers have been the
greatest in their presumption, their in
science, and their defiance of law.
