desperate effort to make real the cartoon that Mr.
McCay shows you here today. Many hope that back
into the ring of efficiency and concentration from
which he has been banished the whiskey dealing
saloon keeper win once more make his appearance
with his: "Wel. gents I'm back again"
The thing Will NOT happen, for even few
months Of freedom from whiskey every corner has
convinced the men well as the women Of this coun-
try that they do not want whiskey ANY corner.
You can still get whiskey if you will have it and
pay the criminal his price. That it is to be hoped
will be stopped by the Government. In any case, it
is not tho menace that old fashioned open whiskey
selling was.
You can get morphine, or opium, bunk in which
to smoke It, and Chinese servant to keep your pipe
ahght il you can pay the price But that is not q
menace to the country as a whole. Pickpockets,
degraded human beings Of different kinds, smoke
opium and it helps rid the world Of them. 1t is no
menace to the country or the population. The man
NOW free from opium does not seek it at the price
and under conditions that accompany it.
The young man NOW free from whiskey will
not seek that, under present conditions at the
present price.
He who says that the Governments dissolution
of partnership with whiskey not real does not know
what he discusses.
WHISKEY AND THE SALOON ARE DEAD.
The Washington times., 1920-09-26
orsss sv,.al. AasAs ass~vsS.

The corner saloon is changed into some
store that does not deal in poison.
There are whiskey interests, and politi
cal interests, and Thousands of unhappy vic
TINS of alcohol, who delude themselves with
the belief that wluskey and the saloon are
coming back, and that this picture will soon
be real.
But they are mistaken; whiskey and
Government partnership with wtiskey are as
dead as slavery Millions can testify that of
the two kinds of slavery, whiskey slavery is
worse than physical slavery.
The Washington times., 1920-09-26

times illegally manufactured, and that man
DETERMINED TO GET wH1sKEY can still get it.
AL true. But when man gets whiskey now he
pays $40 bottle for it, or more; the man that sells
it risks going to Jail.
There are no swinging doors, bright lights,
polished glasses, scattered all along the highways,
inviting young mon to come in and learn to drink
whiskey.
Those that whiskey has conquered ALREADY
may remain whskey victims They can get it, if they
can afford to pay the criminals price.
But whiskey is no longer recruiting its thousands
of new victims. Sober young mon do not 90 Of into
corners and pay $40 bottle and risk wood alcohol
poisoning to cultivate deliberately ahaht that makes
them the associates of criminals, and that may mako
them blind in twenty four hours in case tho criminal
happens to use wood alcohol.
The extravagantly high price Of whiskey as it
is sold today, is in itself protection to the poor
whiskey victim that most mood protecting, for he
CAN'T BUY the whiskey.
Whiskey does many things to human beings
1t destroys first Of ALL their strength Of character
and their judgment!
In the end it makes them poor And whiskey, at
$40 bottle, cannot be the drink Of the poor man,
fortunately for him.
There il, however. in politics and elsewhere.

Mr.. McCay puts before you to-day a
quiet cartoon. There are no huge animals,
dinosaurs or other strange things in it. But
there is powerful MEANING in it.
This picture shows you how intelligent
American efficiency would greet with horror
and indignation the whiskey saloon and the
whiskey-dispensing bartender if they should
come back to this country.
WMskey still IS sold; it IS drunk, but
whiskey is no longer the partner of Govern
rnent and of the American people. Whiskey
is no longer respectable; dealing in it is no
longer legal

contrast that Mr.. McCay has drawn between the
saloon bar the attendant that uncorks bottle after
the other has been emptied, and the REAL efficiency
that keeps away from whiskey, seeking to forget the
saloon and that it ever existed
When you are absolutely certain that a poisonous
snake is dead you hit it on the head few extra times
with club in order to be DOUBLY, absolutely
certain.
whiskey Is dead, but whiskey does not know it,
Many Of whiskeys victims do not know it, many that
formerly made living with the sale of whiskey do
not know it.
Of these agencies, some are still striving and
wiggling, as you may wggling and quivering the
tail of snakethe head dead, but the far end of the
body not quite aware Of it.
This editorial is published with Mr.. McCay's
cartoon and others like it will be published by way
of making "doubly absolutely certain that the whis
key snake is dead and that he and all Of his friends
know it.
What has it meant to this country to stop open,
legal selling of whiskey every street corner and
sometimes on all four corners Of the same street,
Some prisons are closed for lack Of inmates
In many places the police force has been reduced,
and the remnant has enjoyed leisure.
Homes for inebrates are closed and cures for
whiskey victims practically bankrupt.
Certain departments of hospitals have become
unnecessary.
Judges no longer know what it means to see
regularly long lines Of men and women brought before
them for drunkenness after miserable night spent in
prison.
Such are only few of the changes brought abou.
by law that cut in two the partnership between
whiskey and the government and classed the selling
of whiskey with the selling Of any other poison
You may say that whiskey is still sold, some
times taken from Government bond on pretext some

and every man. young DID, who looks at this picture
and has no whiskey grip upon his memory or his
appetite, is glad to know it.
There are million men in this country headed
toward success that would never have known success
had whiskey remained, and that never WOULD know
success if whiskey should come back.
Mr. McCay, wisely, puts this picture Of the
returning whiskey man in setting Of quiet efficiency
in order to impress upon us a fact that even the
whiskey seller himself never could deny:
wH1sKEY AND EFFICIENCY ARE AS FAR
APART AS WHIsKEY AND s0BRIETY.
Nyou should talk to man returned from China
where the Government wisely has forbidden the use
Of opium, but where its victims secretly, through
criminals, still obtain it, he will tell you horrible
story of opium's power over its former victims.
He will toll you also that the young are growing
up free from opium which once was actually forced
upon them by commercial methods, whiskey was
once on every corner forced upon the attention and
curiosity Of the young in this country.
The man from China would tell you that all the
hope Of new, efficient China is based on opium's
going.
And here in the United States, we know that
everything that is true of the opium trade in Asia
is also true of the whsey trade of the United States
Whiskey means NO EFFICIENCY. No whlskey
means efficiency.
Whiskey replaces ambition with conceit.
Whiskey provides self approval without effort.
whiskey not only destroys the will but even the
power to make an effort
Whiskey his filed private graveyards.
1t was the recruiting sergeant for prisons and
insane asylums.
It was the advance agent of consumption and
other diseases that fasten on weakened bodies
whiskey, that was the curse of this country is
officially dead From being lordly partner of the
Government, boastng that it paid the Governments
expenses has become the hidden partner of crime
Whiskey IS DEAD and fortunately for the
world, it is only in his dreams that the whiskey
dealer say, as in this picture, well, gents. I'm
back again"
The Washington times., 1920-09-26

ELL, gents, I'm back again." is the
voice Of the big whiskey man, as
McCay shows him to you, in the
corner of his cartoon with the
oface Of the efficiency company as
background.
