WET SPELL Is A DEAR LESSON

Some idea of what would have hap
pened in Chicago and other large cit
les dry under war Prohibition only
may be gained by the story OF what
happened in ST. Louis when the lid
was lifted there. A conductor on the
Chicago & Alton who stayed in St.
Louis on the FIRST wet Saturday night,
December 4th. told the following
to representative OF the Issue:
u was in my hotel in St. Louis
last night A soldier came in so
drunk that he fell fiat on the floor III
the lobby. ] helped him UP and he
swore at me ana made such dis
turbance that the clerk had to lead
him out on the street. At the corner

Another soldier in Uniform came in
and telephoned the police that he had
been robbed. He was so drunk that
he did not know where the robbery
took place. While | was going TO the
hotel a man walked right square in
front oil street car and was knocked
down. They picked him up and he
cursed and kicked. but was so drunk
that he did not know where he was
going. The Judge who gave the or
der which resulted in lifting the lid
according to one of the St. Louis pa
pers stated that it was the worst thing
he ever did in his life"
In letter to the American Issue
State Supt W. c. Shupp of Missouri
described St. Louis with the lid off as

f~tf
Il am not at all disturbed
about this information. ! have
seen communities sober up and
| know they also have their
katzenjammer. When the reg
ular supply goes down or the
price goes out of reach, there
is a group OF addicts who will
get their drug regardless OF law,
even regardless of personal
risk. Not very much can be
done about this group OF
people.
Fortunately for tho conf
munity they do not last very
long. Some wink out rapidly,
some slowly, but the drug gets
them all before long.
"In the meantime their influ-
encc for harm, so far as other
men are concerned, is not great.
There is nothing heroic or ap-
pealing about a man drunk on
cologne. They do not write
poetry, indulge i'll oratorical
fights or do heroic deeds.
They generally fall down some
where and sleep it off and time
gradually brings a new order"

Three Cases Involved

Three Cases Involved
The constitutionaity of the war
time Prohibition and the Prohibition
enforcement laws was attacked III the
Supreme Court on three different ap-
peals. One was the case of the Ken
lucky Warehouse & Distillery Com
pany in which Federal District Judge
Walter Evans in Louisville held the
act conhictcd with the fifth amend
ment and enjoincd internal revenue
officials from preventing the company
from removing whisky for beverage
purposes from its warehouses.
The second case was that OF Dry
zoos. Blum & Company of New York.
In this case the Federal District Court
OF New York dismissed proceedings
brought TO enable the company to
withdraw a small quantity OF distilled
spirits from bond
The third case was that of Jacob
Rupert, brewer OF New York. 1t
involved authority under the war
Prohibition act to manufacture beer
containing as much as 2.75 per cent
alcohol.
Immediate Effect of Decision
The immediate effect OF the courts
decision was to nullify the injunction
restraining federal revenue officers
from preventing the withdrawal OF
liquor from the bonded warehouses
for sale in this country. With all
doubt as to the validity of the war
Prohibition act removed by the de-
cision OF the highest court, Pro-
hibition enforcement was no longer
handicapped by the possibility of the
war law being held void.
Arguments by Wet Lawyers
In arguing the cases before the Su-
preme Court on Nov. 20 and p, Elihu
Root, Levy Mayer and others, ap-
pearing in opposition to the Prohibi-
llOIl dIlSY NoulNHQSQ thdl wal i-iiiiS
Prohibition was unconstitutional be-
cause Congress had no power to pro-
hibt the sale of intoxicants within a
state except under its war power
which had ceased; that the act con-
! hicted with the fifth constitutional
amendment prohibiting the taking OF
private property without just compen-
sation, and that the war had tcrmin-
ated, making the act obsolete and in.
valid.
1t was also contended that the Vol
stead law (thc Prohibition enforce
ment act) by fixing one-half of one
per cent as the maximum amount oi
alcohol in beverages, established a
new standard for intoxicants. Mr..
Root also contended that the consti-
tutional Prohibition amendment al
! lowed liquor dealers "year of grace
