The Optimistic Prohibitionist

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your recent editorial entitled
"The New Parkhurst" you confirm the
opinion Of the most optimistic pro-
hibitionist when you say, 1.-THE enforce
ment of prohibition will be long and
tedious uphill fight. Its opponents
argue that it can never be enforced
to expect whisky drinking to be stopped
inside of three months in city like
New York would be to expect a
miracle"
The degree in which prohibition has
been enforced in New York exceeds the
most sanguine expectation Of ardent
prohibitionists. But to say it can not
and will not be enforced is something
to which law-abiding citizens cannot
subscribe. For why should the liquor
dealer be an exception to the law? Be-
cause he has assumed himself not to
be amenable to the law is the real
reason for past and present temper
ance agitation. If the liquor dealer
can defy the law, every other citizen
has the same right toward any law Of
which he does not approve. When we
lived under license law the pro-
hibitionists. submitted to the arrange
ment. Now that we are under a pro-
hibition law the liquor traffic will have
to learn to obey. Your statement 'that
its opponents argue it can never be
enforced" is confession on their part
that they are gang Of lawbreaxers.
The Anti-Saloon League figures that
it will be several years before a salts
factory enforcement Of the law is
guaranteed. This organization means
to stay on the job until this is brought
about and until the officials accept the
responsibility of enforcement without
being watched and prodded by an anti
saloon organization.

CHOW we roared In the first act of
"A Runaway Girl" writes Daisy Bell,
"when they asked Jimmie Powers to
be the courier and he said, Il can't
coo.' Then, in the last act, don't you
remember how dark and quiet it was
in the theater with just the tiny points
of light lodging about the back drop,
and that crisp, dainty music:
"'In twos and threes, behind the trees,
For the little pickaninnies, whom they
gwine to squeezed
They'll catch f.. US .. it we
isn't spry,
For the gobalins are watchin' out the
corner OBJ dere eye!'
"You may also recall the extremely
pretty girl with very big brown eyes
and q hat trimmed with purple pan
sizes, who sang, % Listen to the
Band!' think her name was Ethel
Johnson. I was a very young girl at
that time, and the leading man i'm
pressed me deeply as finished actor
with a delightful tenor voice and q
most charming personality. 1t was a
long time ago, more than twenty
years, but I can see him now as he
stood there on the stage Of the old
Boston Museum, bowling gracefully
toward the box where Jack Mason and
Marian Manola enthusiastically APP
plauded. He wore an irreproachable
white duck yachting suit, with a dis
tractngly becoming white visor cap,
and he was altogether handsome and
gallant figure. And now, say what you
will about the eyes of youth and all
that sort Of thing, 1 saw Mr.. Cyril
Scott again the other day and he i'm
pressed me just the same"
