CITY AND COUNTY PRESS ON PROHIBITION

A LTHO in the prohibition days liquor
n advertisements were tabooed in their
columns, yet we have for long time been
of the opinion that in general the metropolitan
press has been mighty Indifferent concerning the
success of prohibition since it became part Of
our constitution In fact we have wondered if
certain of the dailies were trying to pile up cumu-
lative evidence that prohibition is failure by pu-
blishing item after item concerning mash:
"moonshine" "stills", etc. enthusiastically, in
addition, the statement is made thru interview
with, We will say, some work-house official, for
instance, that there are more DRINKS in the work
house today than ever before, thereby leading one
thru the manner in which it is written up to be-
lieve that prohibition is a failure. Whereas even
tho more DRINKS in the work-house" should be
the case, yet the giving of the impression that
prohibition is pretty much failure is unwarrant-
ed from that premise; for with drinking offence
| against the law, there naturally should be more
arrests during the first years of prohibition than
in the days when drunk would have to make
himself almost nuisance on the street before an
arrest would take place. No expected prohibi-
ton to cure the thirsty appetite. From their gen
eral attitude on the matter; some of the city pap
ers thus give one the idea that they "wet' in
their sympathies.
On the other hand, after glancing thru those
dailies and turning to the country PRESS the very
opposite impression is gained During the past
three or four weeks in particular, one could pick
up almost any country paper to find some write
up concerning the vastly better moral tone OF the
country since the coming of prohibition. We
wonder who is in better position to observe a
representative cross section of humanity and pub
lie opinion in this respect-the city the country
newspaperman Of course, there "drunks"
in the country too; but when the country press
writes up a story concerning one, there is usually
a little different reflection of the policy of the
paper in it than seems to be found in many city
papers.
The above has been our personal opinion for
considerable time; but thinking the impression
gained of the city papers attitude might be a
false one, we have not given expression to it.
But the desire to do so was given by the power
full substantiation of the idea by Frank Day in
his progressive Fairmont Sentinel, where he says:
with two or three honorable exceptions
prohibition and obedience to law gets mighty
little aid and comfort from the metropolitan
press of Minnesota. 1t is therefore incum-
bent upon the country press to show the Won
derful improvement in moral conditions
throughout the state, especially outside the
cities, since the dry law went into effect.
"The Sentinel has copied articles from a
large number of local papers telling of dry
and decent Fourth of July where in past
years scores and scores of men had become
drunken beasts"

1.-TWO distinct views concerning our conduct
toward the pleasures of life frequently find
= expression. The one is put thus, "About all
the pleasures we get in life is what we grab from
day to day. Those who endeavor to save their
pleasure for some time in the future are very apt
to get left, life is very uncertain and the und-
ertakers are exceedingly active" This might be
called the EAT, drink and be merry for tomorrow
we die" philosophy. Others violently opposed to
this concept say "Scrimp and sacrifice all you
can while you are young; for the day is coming

that contact with others having similar thots,
aspirations and ideals greatly enriches our own
heart life. From whatever angle one may look
at play rightly INDUCED in, it helps to make life
worth while and so constitutes essential part
of mans existence.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1922-07-26

Whatever the nation is to achieve
or to become in the future, depends
upon its citizenship, and the mighty
voice of the people is but the combin-
ed voice of the individuals. What
would you have your country be in
honor, purity, high endeavour and
righteousness? Make one citizen Of
that kind; that is the part given to
you to ldo.-Kate w. Hamilton.
