Swift Justice Seventy Years Ago

Swift Justice Seventy Years Age
To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIR. In your issue of March 2 the
article called Jersey Justice" carries
me back seventy years, when l was
living in Little Falls, Herkimer County,
N. Y.
One Sunday morning a pair of horse 8
and rig were stolen. The vigilance
committee set out after the thief
caught him below Albany and brought
him back to Herkimer. The grand
jury and court were in session. He
was Indicted, tried and found guilty.
The Judge called him up to the bar
and asked him if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be pro-
nounced. His reply was: "Honorable
Judge, must say you have darn swift
justice in this county" In less than
ten days from the time he stole the
horses he was on his way to Auburn
Prison. Now, Mr.. Editor, It's a pity we
do not have more of that same swift
justice.

reads The Tribune every day.

in Dollars and Cents
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS an ex-service man who was
among the first troops called to arms
in 1917 and saw considerable service
both here and abroad from both combat
and training camp viewpoint, may /
state my position on the proposed
bonus bill?
The stand of the American Legion
on adjusted compensation is taken on a
basis fundamentally wrong.
Grant that the government was guilty
| OF monumental injustice and short
s'ghtedness in not treating all classes
of war work on the same monetary
basis. permitting service men to sacri-
fice their lives at SO a week, while
their brothers OF the .sshipyartls, and
munition plants lived safely. at home
in comfort at from FIVE to ten times
the remuneration, which, mind you, was
paid by the same Liberty bonds that
gave the service man his $40 week
grant that to be wrong, and then what
have we? A proposal to perpetuate an
other wrong by attempting to make up
to the service man what he lost by the
governments first wrong. From g
monetary standpoint based on history
our service men were we'll paid. Their
worth to the country and to the world
can never be estimated in dollars and
cents.
What will you say if the bill is
passed: There, that's done, now we've
squared aecounts?" You cannot square
the account. Theoretically and prac-
tically war time is time of sacrifice.
The. highly paid worker did not sacri-
fice; he was not permitted, or rather
assisted, by his government to do so,
as were those in service. Therefore, we
arrive at the conclusion that the non
service man Was not entitled to the
high wages he received--and great
wrong was done. Now, if you adjust
either wholly or partially, the compen-
sation of the service man on the basis
of the non-service mans remuneration
you commit another wrong, and as long
as Truth and Justice are our guides
two wrongs will never make a right.
1t rather hurts, though, to hear
newspapers calling the attempt to Sc
cure this adjusted compensation "a
despicable raid on the Treasury" Did
any Of the editors ever use that term
with reference to the sale Of bonds

New-York tribune., 1922-03-05
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Please allow me to correct q
few errors in Mr.. Samuel Wilson's let
ter to The Tribune, under the head
Lincoln and Prohibition" wherein he
calls me IAN irascible Jerseyman" and
accuses nae of Grant and ridicule" in
my recent reply to, previous letter Of
his criticising me.
One cannot Justly be called irascible
in an argument when his language is
an embodiment OF jolly good nature, as
was my reply to Mr.. Wilson. One is
said to be irascible when his Language
betrays anger, irritability and decided
ly bad temper. The reason why my
words stung, bit and discounted Mr..
Wilson WAS because of their irrefuta-
Bile, good-natured truthfulness and
logic.
Mr.. Wilson Gays that I deny the
truthfulness of his Lincoln quotation.
did not deny the ,truthfulness Of it. l
let Lincoln do It himself. But Mr.. Will
son questions the authenticity of my
Lincoln quotation, and wants to know
where got it. quoted it from "Life"
| Of December 20, 1s2l---a reputable and
reliable New York publication.
Whether or not Abraham Lincoln
may have said things at one time
which disagree with things that he
said at another time, do not know
And do not know whether all his &C.
tions were always above reproach. He
was certainly a mere mortal, like the
rest Of US. He also was certainly su-
rremeiy. human, and, consequently,
| must of necessity have been filled with
imperfections, because no man could
ty any possibility have the synlpa-
thetic heart in him which Lincoln had.
with his spirit of forgiveness for sin
ners, If he himself had not been some
thing Of sinner.
Mr. Wilson quotes Lincoln rs advo-
eating the total and final banishment
of all intoxicating drinks, and as say
ing that the great majority Of the peo-
pie believed that intoxicating drinks
should be banished. BY drinks Lincoln
unqucstlonably meant beverages, and
not liquors taken as medicine. N.Y.
self am in hearty accord with these
views of Lincoln. ! believe that all in
toxicating beverages should be ban
1shed, but banished by education. and
ot %4~k ck -.
Such were certainly Lincoln's views.
Lincoln doubtless foresaw that any
attempt to Danish liquors by prohibi-
tion would result in lessening the con-
sumption OF merely light wines and
beer and in vastly increasing the con-
sumption Of ardent spirits of all kinds
exactly what has happened since the
passage Of the Eighteenth Amendment
and the Volstead act.
AS matter of fact, whether Lincoln
did or did not approve prohibition does
not in the least alter the case that
Federal prohibition has since its enact
ment proved most pernicious, law
breaking, liberty-crushing, trouble
breeding iniquity and a colossal failure.
If Lincoln sanctioned prohibition ne
was mistaken just as actually as any
one else. Washington sanctioned slav-
cry, but that did not make slavery
right.
The medicinal use of alcoholic
liquors of ali kinds should be absolutely
unrestricted and every man should be

either for his ailments or to maintain
his strength and condition, without any
let or hindrance.
Any one making such misuse of alco-
hol as seriously to disturb or affect
others should, as public nuisance,
be quarantined or put under necessary
restraint, instead of taking away, by
prohibition, the liberty Of the normal
people at large to use alcoholic liquors
for their just and proper needs.
A glass of wine at meal is often q
medicinal necessity, as witness the
statement of DR.. Stephen Smith, found
er of the New York State and National
Boards Of Health, on his recent ninety
ninth birthday. He said that in the
earlier years of his life he was greatly
troubled with dyspepsia, until he was
adviaed by an eminent French physician
I, to drink wine between the courses at
his meals. Since the adoption Of this
practice he has never had any trouble
from dyspepsia, and Ia still hale and
! hearty at ninety-nine.
Such use Of wine is purely medicinal.
When one catches cold a liberal use
| of whisky is purely medicinal. When
one is low in spirits or is tired at the
days end q good stout draft of beer
or wine or a drink of whisky or brandy
is invigorating and healthful, and sucl,
use Of alcoholic liquors is purely
medicinal.
Such is the use that myself nave al
ways made of alcoholic liquors, and I
have never made any other use Of them
am much more of temperance man
than most of the Prohibitionsts. am
now sixty mine, and my physical cond-
tion .s better than that of any other
man of my age that / know.
Mr.. Wilson quotes Lincoln as con
demning drunkenness and slavery, as
proof that he was a Prohibitionist.
Now, there are some things, like slavery
and murder, which should be prohibited.
Lincoln believed in the prohibition Of
slavery, and he disapproved of drunken
ness. disapprove Of slavery and
drunkenness. have never been drunk
IN my life-at any rate, not sufficiently
under the influence of liquor to prevent
my saying, with distinct articulation,
Laurel is truly rural district or
"lts Draw, BRIGHT MOONLIGHT nicht the

Mr.. Wilson says that he gave chapter
and verse for his quotation from Lin
coin, and he makes the following prop
osit!on: That he will donate 500 to

OF my quotation from Lincoln of the

1T is not necessary for either of US to
bet a'kundred dollars to stimulate the
activities of the other in the search for
the truth about Lincoln am as anx-
ious as Mr.. Wilson possibly can be to
know exactly what Lincoln did say and
what he did not say.
But Mr. Wilson is hardly fair in his
offer. His offer reminds me of that
made by Yankee hunter who went

Indian They were to share equally /
all the game that they might get.
They succeeded in shooting a par
