THE ANTI-DRYS

THE men who, under the leadership Of 7.
l. Dewitt Cuyler, have banded together
as the Philadelphia contingent of the Ma
tonal Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment. deserve and will receive fair
hearing. They have rights quite equal to
those of the organizations that worked to
make the United States bone dry. And they
have courage even if they cannot boast of
numbers.
The activity Of the propaganda for which
they are organized will lead inevitably to
something like n test of popular opinion Mt
the source, and they and their associated
groups ought to ,provide some lively times
in this country before very long.
The question of prohibition has become
deeply complicated with questions of politics
and group prejudice. If way can be found
to give the man in the street an opportunity
TO express his will and his opinion it ought
to be welcomed Ours is still--let us hope
a government by, of and for the people.
What would be the answer in rcferen-
dun such as the antidr hope to bring
about? Was Congress more far sighted.
more sensitive to the actual desires and
opinions of the country than the folk who
raid at it for its acceptance Of the Nolstead
law and the passage of the Eighteenth
Amendment? So it sometimes seems. For
most of those who loudly dcnOunCe the Vol
stead act are quick to say that they would
not have the saloons back If they had to
make a choice between saloons and pro.
hibition. Many who express II willingness
TO throw the Prohibition Law and the pro.
hibition machinery overheard manifest a
queer sort of hesitancy when they are asked
to lend hand at that particular work.
If anti prohibition sentiment is as wide
spread In this area as some people believe
1t to be there ought to be vast army. on
listed with Mr.. Cuyler There arc only
about 5000
Common opinion in relation to Volstead-
ism is progressive and it is changing. No
one can safely venture to define and interpret
it finally now.
In the new anti prohibition group arc
some men who helped to promulgate rules
to make temperance obligatory among the
employees Of their corporations. Have they
changed their minds? Do they believe that
strong drink is good thing for men in
hazardous employments? Would they estab-
lish prohibition for one element in the com
munity and the open bar for another?

rate he pays. This affords a strong incen
tive for learning how to provide steady en-
ploymcnt before the law goes into effect.
"Of course the most important service
which unemployment insurance can render
, will grow out Of the pressure it will exert
on management to reduce unemployment to
II minimum. This statement is warranted
through our experience with Workmen's
Compensation Acts. The relief afforded in
jured workmen and their families important
as il has been, is nothing compared with
the results obtained in the matter of acci-
dent prevention. As significant Of possible
future developments in this matter, It is in
teresting to note the experiment of the Den
nison Manufacturing Co. in setting up their
own unemployment insurance reserve.
1T is altogether certain that through
this kind of study of unemployment we are
going to expose certain weaknesses in our
present manufacturing methods. For in
stance, it will be promptly demonstrated
that steady volume both for the plant as a
whole and by departments is equally desir-
able both from the standpoint of profits and
of steady employment. 1t seems highly
probable If this could be demonstrated by
each factory for itself that some Of the more
obvious policies by which steady volume is
encouraged would be introduced"

KoRFANTY'S CONVERSION

A DELBERT KORFANTY, leader of the
"A Polish insurrectionists in Upper Silesa,
cannot plead ignorance of the nature Of his
ohense. His telegram to the Ipterallied
Commission is plain acknowledgment Of his
recognition Of the authority of this body in
the disputed territory.
The request that ground abandoned BY the
insurgents be occupied by allied, not by
German, troops Is equally significant. The
Versailles Treaty is specific in it's demand
that the plebiscite region shall be policed
by the Allies until the report on the ballot
ing is officially delivered.
II looks as though Korfanty had been
reading that important document whose pro
visions he so fagrantly violated

When a Cat Is Not a Cat
From the New York Herald

FROM Ine ENeW 1ork
At this season. when fair woman begins to
wear furs in earnest, non furbcaring man
sometimes wonders not only at the style
but at the names of the skins. Some fel'
lows 60 all their lives without knowing
what kolinsky is; others learn to know
wombat from ermine. There have been
many changes since the days when the
geography told us that the American fur
animals were beaver, bear, marten, mink,
lynx. fox" 1t never mentioned civet cat
or genet. There is genet sitting in City
Hall Park as we write. 1t does not know
it is a genet. 1t thinks, if it thinks self;
consciously at all. that it is black and
white cat of humble origin. Yet every fur,
rier passing looks upon it as n potential
genet Of the trade. There are such things
as genuine genets-anmals very like ciVet
cats-but the quadruped of the back fencs
is always genet when his hide enters
peltry.
