Prohibition Repeal Mirage
Hudson Maxm's Letter on Crossing the Sahara
Answered by Eighteenth Amendment Upholder

tuition, refused obedience to the new
order of things.
For over half century the Ameri-
can people have fought against the in
lquitous liquor traffic in the constitu-
tionai manner at the ballot box. They
won $4,000 municipalities from the
power Of the saloon by means of the
ballot, and from 1851 to 1919 they re-
deemed state after state. In 1881 thew
redeemed one, in 1889 one, in 1907 one,
IN 1908 one, in 1909 three, in 1915 two.
in 1915 nine, in 1917 two, in 1918
eight, in 1919 four, and that same year
wrote prohibition in the Constitution
Of the United States.
This was no spasm, but was done by
the orderly methods of education and
legislation; 80 per cent of the Amer1-
can people were living under self-in-
f1icted tyranny" before the Eigh-
teenth Amendment became operative,
and, in those states the prohibition
sentiment is as impregnable as Gibral-
ter. The people have proved this at
every test. Against efforts to excmn.
beer from the ban the people of the
State of Washington in 1915 lifted a
cry majority of $4,000 to $4,000; Colo
RADIO and Oregon in like proportions;
and Michigan, which went "dry" by
$4,000, slammed beer and wine in 1879
by majority of 100000.
Talk about repeating the Eighteenth
Amendment! Let them look at these
facts and figures; and, also, let them
consider the additional fact that the
prohibition amendment received the
greatest Congressional, legislative and
popular support of any of our nine
teen constitutional mendments-2Sa
to l2S, in The House; 65 to 20, in the
Senate; sixteenths of the
states; Sc per cent of the Senators and
80 per cent of the lower house mem
bers, voting for ratification.
At the last Congressional election
the "wets" clamored for a Congress-
that would repeal the Volstead act ="
They got one so "bone dry" that at the
most recent test they could only mus
ter 80 "wet" votes in House men,
bership of 435. Yet Mr.. Maxim in
dulges in such twaddle as the follow
ing:
The Eighteenth Amendment has al
ready been repealed 1t is repealed bv
the majority opinion of the American
people"
The gentleman quotes Abraham
Llncoln's denunciation of slavery as
justification Of his attitude for null
l'hcation of the prohibition law. vet
ne must admit that every movement
made against slavery by the great
L'berator was along constitutional
lines, and he abhorred notification as
ardently as did Jackson, who threat
ened to hang Calhoun.
Lincoln also abhorred liquor and the
liquor traffic. and prophesied their
elimination in these words:
whether or not the world wonld
be vastly benefited by a total banish-
ment from it of all intoxicating drinks
seems to me not now to be an omen
question. Three-fourths of mankind
confess the affirmative with their
tongues, and believe all the rest
acknowledge it in their hearts"
The issue to-day is not prohibition
that is fundamental lav-it is rev.
erence for law, which Lincoln declared
to be "the political religion of the
nation SAM11EI. WILSON

Admirable China
The Marine Engineer
To the Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir: II am a lawbreaker, and am
proud OF it," is the startling conclu-
sion OF long but interesting commu-
nlcation, under the caption "Crossing
Inc Sahara" from the pen of Hudson
Maxim, in The Tribune Of July 81,
crltlc'sing my letter Of previous date
am gratified to note that the dis
singulshed gentleman indorses every
enc Of my claims, viz: That the
Eighteenth Amendment is properly a
part Of our fundamental law: that
VINE and beer are intoxicating liquors,
and are, therefore, properly under the
ban Of the law, and that whosoever
engages in the beverage liquor traffic is
lawbreaker.
The discussion about liquor toxins
in which Mr.. Maxim INDUCES strikes
me as begging the question. He ad-
nsits that alcohol is a toxin, meaning
poison, but absurdly claims that in
doses of from to IA per cent, as in
beer and wine, "it is no more poison
Gus than potatoes or hominy" I have
never seen anybody with befuddled
brain or wabbly legs babbline silly
twaddle as result of eating potatoes
or homlny. vet everybody has seen
those conditions as an effect of wine
and beer drinking. Even Mr.. Maxim
admits that light wines and beer were
the only intoxicating liquors for the
hrst 5000 years Of the worlds history.
and surely beverages that can ravaee
humanity, as history and modern expe-
rlepce prove wine and beer have done,
are not innocuous. In his claim that
alcohol is not a poison Mr.. Maxim
bumps aginst the very highest medical
authorities.
What is the "liberty' that Mr..
Maxim declares is outraged by our
fundamental law? The liberty to make
and sell intoxicating liquor for bev-
erage purposes; the liberty to indulge
an appetite for toxic drug. There
never was such liberty in our nation,
tor the liquor traffic was always under
the ban of the law. The license sys-
tenn was prohibition system, by which
the state denied to the many priv
llege that was granted to the few, for
price; or, as defined by the courts.
Incense is special privilege to do
~nat otherwise would be unlawful.'
The United States Supreme Court
mas said of this vaunted liberty" for
which the gentleman would shatter the
state: There is no inherent right IN
the citizen to sell intoxicating liquors;
1t is not privilege of citizen of the
state or of a citizen of the United
States. AS it is a business attended
with danger to the community. it NAV
be entirely prohibited" Scores Of
ether United States and state Supreme
Court decisions have made like dec
larations, and liquor for beverage pur-
poses stands naked before the courts
and the state, stripped of "inalienable
rights inherent rights" or even
special privilege" which latter
under the license system-it might
buy.
Such is the sham "liberty" in de-
tense Of which the bootlegger of to-
DAY is ranked with George Washing
ton as justihable lawbreaker: the
parallel should be not with Washing
ton and the patriots of 1776, but with
the Tories, who. after the Revolution
and after the adoption of the Consti-
