and ir some seasons there Is a desire to find out
what tho people want
fwellivcr travelled TO all parts Of the country and
gives these facts as his findings
That the cry lax has increased the number
or drug users
That The dry law has resulted in lessening OF the
social evil
That liquor PROPERTY has increased in value since
IT has been turned 70 other uses
That % per cent OF the stuff sold by bootlegsers
Is deadly poison and is working it, own destruction
through the force OF fear
That there has been decrease q crimes OF vio-
ence and against property DESPITE other conditions
which should have created Increase
From these facts is opined that prohibition has
come to stay and that any political movement based
upon a restoration of the old wet days is doomed
failure.
His explanation Of the present state Of mind
towards the law. ingenious and sensible IS:
THE psychology OF the pubIicse attitude toward
rational prohibition presents Some phases.
fwo-thirds OF the states already DRY before
national prohibition was adopted Generally. the
people Of the dry states were reconcied and cheer
fu about il; but almost from when national
prohibition came in force a disposition vio-
late il sprang UP. not only in the previously wet
territory but also very extensively that had
previously been dry and contented. I asked PEOPLE
all sides Of the question to explain this and
though they all admitted the fact gave salts
factory explanation. II seems that chief ele-
ments were responsible one that when prohibition
became national affair with national authority
responsible for its enlightenment officials relaxed
their efforts: Let Uncle sam do it, The other
PLANTATION seems to be propaganda against the sys-
tenn. This has been carried on continuously. and
much OF il with small regard for facts From the
day when prohibition became the law of the land,
booze news" has been first-page news. Unin-
formed friends Of prohibition became worried about
IT, and unrelentng enemies redoubled their cutlery
against It,
THE simple truth is that the condition painted
by propaganda doesn't exist. Most people can't
afford liquor at present prices of those who
could afford it are afraid of it, In recent months
booze news" has been and more getting the
inside pages or the waste-basket. Under Commits
sioner Haynes the law has ceased to be a by-word
and the fear of God has been put into the boot
eggers the la6less distillers and the moonshiners
Complete enforcement will be attained. The
completest possible enforcement has not yet been
attained. But fair consideration of conditions
they stand can justify any other conclusion than
'hat prohibition has already accomplished much of
what its advocates expected and that it is on its
way to accomplish much more"

CRIlIINAL WARS.

Carveth Wells explorer tells about the whale
killer. a big fish. about as long as Pullman
car living in the ocean around the South Pole
country
As many as 16 seals have been found in the whale
killers stomach. But the whale killers are not sat
isfied with merely getting enough to eat. They waa
Observation-Disclosures.
So a gang Of them get together and attack sperm
whale untilthey make it open its mouth. Then they
tear out its tongue. That's mob attack-warfare.
Cyncs point to this illustration that war is
natural state, that is being waged constantly
all through So, they reason human war
can never be ended. There's something to be said
en- the other side.
Ur north. the timber wolves pairing off in
couples peacefully sneaking away into caves to raise
their young.
Next winter when food will be scarce and hard
to get against white snow background. the wolves
Will begin running in packs-their combinations for

1t is all matter of food. Wolves never attack
humans unless driven to it by starvation.
of all creatures in nature. ants are the most like
humans. Ants maintain standing armies scien-
tificaIly organized with officers in charge of reg
ments and battalions.
These ant armies however. are for defense.
Occasionally the ant armies line up and march off
attack another colony OF turning them
into slaves.
Bur % times out Of 100. ants do go
until their food supply gives out and they must
conquer stsrve.
The so-called constant warfare in nature is a
simple struggle for existence-to obtain food AS
soon as food obtained war stops
Nature makes food scarce in the animal world
because the constant warfare strengthens the fight
kills OF the weak and inefficient and permits
the survival only of the fittest
There was some excuse in the natural sense for
men warning in the days when it was nip-and-tuck
with starvation.
But today agriculture. mechanical production and
the system of distribution developed to the point
where there would be than enough food for
every person on earth # equitably divided
That DESTROYS the basic excuse for war. Any
thing interfering with the free flow OF food is
dynamic generator of war.
