Prohibition

When considering the matter OF
national prohibition Of alcohol as a
beverage the whole country rather
than a few localities should be the
scope Of the investigation. In such
view Of the subject Governor Milf
ken spoke at the International Con-
gress and is warranted in quoting
with approval the statement of
foreign observer that the adoption OF
prohibition by the United States is
The greatest national moral ven-
ture since Israel crossed from Egypt
or the Pilgrims came to Plymouth"
Nor is Governor Milliken's conclu-
sion amiss that it, is contributing
very materially to the stability of
our institutions at a time when that
stability is threatened as never be-
fore. And while the immediate saw
ing now when the thirsty are paying
twelve dollars a bottle for whiskey is
not as great as it inevitably must be,
it nevertheless is enormous. When
six Massachusetts jails that two
years ago averaged to contain 1000
prisoners had for the past year an
average of but 100 some idea of the
magnitude of saving effected
throughout the country may be had.
That such conditions should obtain
in all places is expecting more than
even a very small grain of common
sense would warrant. There doubt
less is need for such excavations as
those given the other day, by Bird
Coler before this convention, though
whether he made just application of
them we have not the information
to determine. Laxity among officers
supposed to enforce the law undoubt-
eddy exists and no question but many
others deserve the appellation he
gave of buck passers." Mr. Coler's
sympathies were not originally with
prohibition and his prejudices may
affect his judgment; nevertheless
there is need Of outspoken words.
Prohibition is law and there is
little likelihood Of its repeal, but
there is extreme likelihood of its lax
enforcement.
Were it not so the official sigma
ture of George T. Carroll, president
Of the New Jersey Federation of
Liquor Interests would scarcely have
been found on a circular letter in
which one finds this:
Gov. Cox is pronounced wet, and
he can be relied upon to approve an
amendment to the Volstead act as
suggested above. 1t is now up to our
trade organizations to stand directly
behind the ticket of Cox and Roose
welt and roll up such a majority as

Conditions in Italy

1t is apparent to even the busiest
man in the street that necessity. for
sound general Information respecting
the worlds affairs was never more
insistent than now. But it would
puzzle the greatest savant or the
most scientific of experts to afford
assurance this will be met.
One naturally turns for first aid to-
the press, a reasonable thing to do
for the press has developed a stand
ard Of accuracy respecting home
news calculated to inspire confidence.
presentation of the news Of this
country is not borne out by~its eff
forts to correctly present the news
of the lands outside.
Accurate information respecting
conditions in Russia was for a time
at least practically unobtainable but
the news of Italy, for instance, should
be accessible and reported correctly.
There is grave doubt that this has
been done. a doubt supported by the
statements of President Fahey of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States who has recently re-
turned from Italy.
