BO0TLEGGER AND SALOON

Prohibition banished the saloon
and brought in the bootlegger.
The government says that with
.S1O,O0O.OO0 for expenditures dur
inc the next twelve months 1t
can Danish the bootlegger and
guarantee to the American Peo-
pie 100 percent prohibition, But
say the vets there would be no
bootleggers in the land il the peo-
pie had light wines and beer.
The drys retort where can
wines and beer be sold and con-
suned except in saloons?
The moral and political vets
who are personally dry have in
iected the issue Of wines and
beer into the fall campaign in
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio
and Michigan as paramount and
in some of the other States this
issue will influence the election
In Ohio and Michigan 1t has
divided both parties. In New
Jersey and Massachusetts, the
Democrats have espoused the
cause OF the vets while the Repub-
licans are backing the dryS.
There has never been straight
out popular referendum in any Of
these States on prohibition and
the vets are claiming that if such
a referendum can be had III the
approaching election, it will be
shown concluSively that a major
ity Of the people will go so far as
to vote for wines and beer.
In other words if a man like Gov
ernor Edwards OF New Jersey
can be elected to the Senate on Il
wet platform it will go far to-
wards taking down the prohlbi-
ton bars.
This fact stares the American
people full in the face. Prohlbi-
ton is a thing that must be or not
be. There is no half way ground.
If it can not be there is no other
alternative. The country will re-
turn to the open saloon. There
are many vets who have not
realized that their clamor for
light wines and beer if successful
re-opens the old saloon door, Vt
the sight they would instantly
draw back.
On the other hand if the drys
expect prohibition to succeed they
must put men into Office who will
.enforce the law. The country can
not trifle with prohibition. The
bootlegger must be Strangled
without mercy.

PEPPERS STRIKE REMEDY

Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania
has coined a new remedy tor
strikes. When strike is in the
offing or when it has already
struck, the way to settle 1t is to
submit the issue to 4 referendum
of the people. The rail and coal
strikes were questions that the
American people should have
passed upon at the ballot box. Sucn
a referendum would have cost a
minimum of what these strikes
prolonged for months actually did
cost the country.
But when the people have passed
upon a strike how is their decision
to be enforced on the parties to
the strike? The Senator is not
very clear on that point. Right
there his NONRESIDENT Quaker
blood seems to take possession OF
his will. He proceeds to tell what
the government and the courts
should not do in a strike and the
presumption is that the people in
expressing themselves by ballot on
strike should let it go at that.
He says: 1T is easy to make I
catalogue Of reasons in favor OF
Strpng-arm methods. 1t eases the
mind Of man who wants coal IN
his cellar to declare vehemeutly i'll
favor OF compelling people to
work. or, what is the same thing,
OF forcing them to accept specified
terms and conditions OF employ
ment. 1t IS also to some an emo
tional relief to picture the courts
as the tribunals for ending indust-
rial wars.
Urgency OF that sort overlookS
some fundamentals. The first is
that in 4 free country we cannot
by governmental action compel
people to work. The second is
that when a strike is on, the strik-
ers are enough in earnest to wish
their strike to be effective and that
means that it becomes their in
tereSt TO create conditions under
which their places viii not be ef-
fectively filled by others. The
third fact is that while under all
conditions government must pro-
tect life and property, vet if VIC
insist upon Interpreting the courts
