tetoing Prohibition

. RESIDENT WILSON gave the country a
1 genuine surprise when he sent the pro-
hibition enforcement measure back to the
House with Il veto message demanding that
congress reconsider its action and separate
constitutional enforcement from statutory
enforcement If that body wanted it's enact
ment to become law with his approval
All the forecasters had miscalculated on the
chief executive in this situation. The most
that any wet advocate hoped for was that
Mr.. Wilson would allow the double ba rreed
measure TO become law without any action
on his part.
In disappearing the enforcement code"
as the drys like to call it, the President
based his reasons on public policy and not
on the unconstitutionality of the legislation.
In fact. it is generally reported that the
Acknowledgement gave him an opinion that
the enactment entirely constitutional,
Notwithstanding the legal objections raised
by eminent counsel for the brewers and the
dstillers.
The President feels that the emergency
which made it desirable to enact wartime
prohibition has passed, and that it passed
with the rehabilitation Of the army and
navy. Instead Of making this prohibitory
measure more rigid, as Congress sought to
40, he believes that 1t should be repealed
bodily and reminded Congress that he had
already recommended its repeal But dis
regarding that recommendation the House

however that the Presidents reasoning will
appeal very strongly to many millions of
people who believe in temperance, but who
nave resisted sumptuary laws making tenn
perancc matter OF legal obligation.
Should the Senate unexpectedly fail to
pass the measure over the veto. the Presi-

Alarm of the Tobacco People

T HE average individual may feel that the
anxiety OF the tobacco growers, manu-
facturers and dealers over the crusade now
inaugurated for the prohibition of the use
OF their product by the American people is
unnecessary, and that there is not the re-
hottest chance that the puritans, who oppose
smoking and chewing, will ever be able to
stampede this country. But the same sort
OF assurance was felt regarding the liouor
industry less than decade ago. Few per
sons believed then that the W. c. It. L. and
the Prohibition party-the only organizations
actually pledged to the suppression OF liquor
drinking--would ever do more than preach
prohibition.
But the liquor industry has now been out
la"ed IN few more weeks a constitutional
amendment forever barring the manufacture
importation or sale of Intoxicating spirits for
beverage purposes will go into effect an
amendment. moreover. which has been rati-
lied by many more than the necessary three
fourths OF the States 1t is too much TO
assume, therefore,, that the forces which
have now arrayed themselves against the
tobacco industry will make no headwav and
the organization Of tobacco producers and
statesmen to combat the new campaign is
timely
IL the use OF tobacco is a defensibIe prac.
tice. the men who engage in raising it, in
manufacturing it, and in distributing 1t have
every right to come together and to make
''ici S"St. ihcy arc cntltled TO a full hear
ing and to an opportunity to demonstrate by
whatever proof they can adduce that the
moderate consumption OF this product is
harmless and should be further protected
by law.
There is reason to believe that the tobacco
industry Will soon be placed squarcly upon
the defensive The same clement that wared
and won the war against liquor is now or
ganizing for battle against tobacco in all
us forms, and while ii seems of-hand, that
these people have engaged in hopeless fight,
too much need not he taken for granted
me Tact that the various local crusades
against the tobacco habit failed does not
necessarily mean that national crusade will
fail. Many local fights against liouor a,eo
failed.
