Not Playing Fair
"The man who accepts the blessings

come as a resultant OF the united ac-

Coffee Fear Grounciess
"The fear that is constantly ex-
pressed that il National Prohibition
is sustained then any law prohibiting
coffee, tea, high-heeled shoes, etc,
will follow next. This fallacy was
summarily disposed of by Chief Jus
tice White in a case which | had the
pleasure to argue in the Supreme
Court a few years ago. Our oppon-
ents swung heavily on this argument.
Chief Justice White, in writing the
opinion, said:
The exceptional nature of the
subject here regulated is the basis
oi
exerted rest and affords no
ground for any fear that such
power may constitutonally extend
to the things which it may not con-
sistently with the guarantees OF
the Constitution embrace.
at is because Intoxicating liquor
used as beverage is recognized
menace to the individuals and to So
cicty that it is treated differently than
high-heeed shoes and the drinking of
tea. This whole sophistry was swept
away before the Eighteenth Amend
ment was adopted.
No Increase in Crime
"The claim that there is an increase
OF crime caused by the Eighteenth
Amendment is equally unsound.
There has been d crime wave after
every war London policemen are
carrying firearms for the first time in
many years. France and Germany
are seriously affected by the crime
wave. New traffic laws and ordi-
nances and new juvenile laws swell
the number of arrests, but arrests for
drunkenness and offences relative
thereto have decreased. Even in New
York the total Jail population has de-
creased materially this last year.
Why Beer is Prohibited
"The claim of Mr.. Bridges that GER
tain liquors OF small alcoholic content
are susceptible of use without injury
may be true in some cases. The one
half OF | per cent standard was not
adopted because Congress thought
the people could get drunk on one
half per cent liquor. but because the
experience OF the states proved that
if you are to have effective enforce
ment, that definition was necessary.
Supreme Court sustained this dehni-
tion as reasonable and effective one.
Every state in the Union that has
even a halfway effective code pro-
hibits beer and wine. Every referen-
dunn to the people on this question has
resulted against beer by overwhelming
majority because it was manifest that
it was a scheme to cvade the law and
make it non-enforceable.
Not Unjust to Poor
1T is mere camoufsge to claim that
! Prohibition is class legislation. The

law applies 10 all, rich and poor. if
the poor could not buy liquor before
the law went into effect, il was not
the fault OF the law. Many people do
not have automobiles or diamonds.
There is no law against it. II is be-
cause they do not have the price.
Real Harm of Drink
"In its last analysis it is the use OF
Intoxicating liquor for beverage pur-
poses that does the harm. Every
state Supreme Court that has passed
on this question has repeatedly said,
the purpose of Prohibition laws is to
prevent the use OF beverage liquor.
The United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals recently said: The ultimate
end sought i'll Prohibition legislation
is the prevention of their
consumption as a beverage
Results Justify Law
"The first twenty-five months OF
partially enforced Prohibition demon
strates the wisdom of the policy. 1t
has decreased arrests for drunkenness
in former wet territory over 90 per
cent in the hfty-one largest cities OF
the nation, containing more than
twenty million people. The arrests
for drunkenness have decreased lit
tie over Oh per cent while in England
and Wales it has increased over o5
per cent under a regulation or license
policy. Deaths from alcoholism have
dropped rapidly. In New York deaths
from alcoholism have decreased from
500 in 1917 to % in 1920. Practically
all of the state hospitals for incbriates
have been closed and large number
OF the private institutions. The per
capita wealth OF the people has shown
a remarkable increase in the face OF
hard times. We have conserved Our
resources, both in money and food
and with it we have been able to help
feed starving Europe. Juvenile crime
where liquor was factor, has de-
creased in states like Massachusetts,
