THE GAME Is OVER

Christian w. Feigenspan. speaking
before a meeting of the brewers OF
the United States yesterday in At
lantic City said this:
I'VE have total of 40 (states) in
which the people are either opposed
TO Federal Prohibition or have been
denied their undoubted right to pass
upon it,
And some people will probably be-
1ieye it.
All of which leads 10 this observa-
ton: Prohibition has arrived and for
the simple and plain. reason that the
people of the United States were in
favor OF Prohibition. Any other view
is not supported by facts. Brewers
can talk for so years if they want TO,
claiming that "the people haven't act
ed"-but the people themselves think
that they have acted. Its queer that

siderable circumspecti i'll practically

per cent OF the $50 replies of labor
leaders inform us that poll was taken
on the question at the regular meeting.
Replies came from every state in
the Union. In sparsely settled sec

no" may represent from five to fifty
thousand. Many are emphatic, yet
some answer either yes or no with
reservation" a few-twenty-two to
be exact-tell us that Prohibition has
been a benefit, but that the working
man thinks there should be a substi-
tute for Intoxicating liquors, such as
beer and light wines. One replies to
the effect that "seventy-iive thousand
workmen have lost their jobs through
Prohibition" but admits that the opin-
ion does not represent the member
ship of his particular union; another
states as his personal belief that Pro-
hibition will deter emigration to this
country. Two say emphatically that
Prohibition is one OF the main reasons
for the prevalence of unrest in this
country.

REPLIES OF SIG LABOR LEADERS

A report from western Massachu-
sctts states that 10 deaths from liq-
uor substitutes have occurred in that
section since Prohibition went into
effect, many of which were from the
drinking of wood-alcoho1.
Eight reservations which appear
in the replies contend that, while
Prohibition may be all right, it should
have been left to a vote of the people,
and that the elimination of the taxes
paid by brewers, distillers, wholesal-
ers, and retailers of liquor shifts this
burden to the shoulders of the public
Twelve officials reply that, in forcing
Prohibition upon the people, the gov
eminent has abridged the liberties of
the VIC rkers.
prohibition is a financial help to
the worker, but is causing great dis
content" asserts a Colorado official,
and his statement is borne out by half
a dozen others who declare that it has
even increased crime in this country.

that belonged to us" avows a New

Brooklyn says that when the majority
votes i'll favor of Prohibition the work

My objection was not to the aboli
ton of drink by popular vote of the
electors, but to the word Prohibition.
Prohibition does not seem to me a
good description of what has just hap
pened in America, because it was not
an arbitrary ruling by despotc gov

passed with the support of an over

THE FIGHT FOR PRO

We who have been rejoicing that
National Prohibition has been secured
through amendment to the Federal
Constitution need TO bear in mind
that the Prohibition battle has not yet
been fully won and that there re-
mains a long fight to make Prohibit
ton a practical secure reality. The
liquor interests, with millions at their
command, by every means conceiv-
able are cndeavoring to break down
National Prohibition. The
Federal Prohibition Enforcement Law
requires supplementary legislation i'll
every state to meet and defeat the
would-be law breakers. Every con-
ceivable scheme is being tried to
make Prohibition farcical and to open
ways for the liquor business to be
kept alive until the Prohibition

somehow be repealed or nullihed

TO SAVE MONEY
Prohibition Reduces Police Expenses
In Buffalo

1t is expected that before the end
of this year Buffaloes police force will
be reduced by $50 to 200 men as the
result of Prohibition The. cost Of
the present force is 100000 annu-
ally. It is estimated 100000 or more
would be saved by reducing the force
by 200 men.
Ross Graves, the Commissioner of
Finance, in discussing the proposed
reduction, says that Prohibition has
decreased the work of the department
and the present man-power of that
branch of the municipal service can
we'll be reduced. There has been
such a decrease in crime following
Prohibition that it is believed by the
Commissioner of Finance as we'll as
by the mayor and police chief that
200 men can be spared from the city's
force.
