course, ship must be provided with
means of caring for the health Of those
on board, but the use of brandy for
that purpose is closely limited and by
many medical authorities deemed all
together unnecessary.
1t Is certain that out of an average
hundred passengers on any ship not
enough would in the short space of a
weeks voyage develop such specific i'll
nesses, for which no substitute for
brandy could be found as relieving or
curative agent, as to require q gallon

demand is full medicine chest. CON.

require more than this, in order to make
sales for the liquor dealers, is an in
defensible invasion of the liberties OF
those concerned.
Compulsory "dryness" is based on the
theory that the manufacture and sale
OF liquor occasion public nuisance,
Compulsory "wetness" could be justified
only on the theory that liquor is All
absolute necessity, which people must
be forced to use whether they desire it
or not. opine that few ''wets" would
venture on the latter supposition.

Drier Than the Straw Vote

| To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The results obtained by the
Literary Digest" wet-dry poll have
been illuminated by the recent elec-
ton. 1t will be recalled by your read
ers that not quite two-fifths Of the
poll was for the full enforcement of
the Volstead act.
The question was raised, but could
not then be answered, whether a
smaller percentage of drys answered
the request for the vote or not. 1t is
now apparent that this was the truth.
+ In "The Digest's" poll only So per
cent of the voters of California were
dry. In the election a dry maj jority
of 10000, 81 per cent Of the vote cast,
was polled on proposition to make
the Volstead act the law Of the state.
In "The Digests" poll only 40 per
cent of Ohio were dry. In the recent
election the dry vote cast against a
beer and wine proposition amounted
to 66 per cent, with majority of about
10000
In "The Digest's" poll about 3Sh
per cent of the votes of Massachu-
setts were dry. In the recent election
on an enforcement proposition the dry
voters numbered 40 per cent.
The gain over "The Digest's" poll
for the Middle and Western states vas
16 per cent. For Massachusetts 10k
per cent. Average gasn l3A per cent.
A fair inference from this is that
SO far from indicating the drys as in
minority in the country, "The Di-
gest's" percentage being 3s e-1o, they
are now in a majority, with total of
So per cent over the combined moist
and wet element. Taking the whole
country, this indicates numerical ma
jority of about 100000 voters.
The anti-prohibition organizations
can draw little comfort from the cleo
ton. California is the wine growing,
wine making state of the Union Of for
mer days. The recent bone-dry enact
ment is the outcome of ten years ef-
fort. Massachusetts will go the same
way. In illinois the proposition TO be
voted on was so offensive in its form
that the drys nearly all refrained
from voting on the proposition, and
the tctal wet vote was long way
short Of a majority of the voters.
AS time passes it will become more
and more evident to the average voter
that the return of wine and beer, how
ever guarded would mean the ra+pr,
OF the saloon and the re-entrenchine
of the whole business. The wet vote
has passed high-water mark, and the
next generation will wonder that their
forefathers ever tolerated SO infamous
"A traffic.

Britain . Brandy Ruling

Io the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; Something less than your
usual soundness of reasoning is mani
TEST in your recent editorial John to
Jonathan" in which you justify the
British requirement that each vessel
leaving port Of Great Britain carry
a gallon Of brandy per hundred passen-
gers, and suggest that the gallon
might be stretched to an indefinite ex-
tent with as much propriety as tho
American requirement. that ships
entering our ports be strictly "dry."
3he antithesis Of prohibition is not
compulsion, but permission. The dues
tion is whether the liquor traffic in an
evil of sufficient magnitude to warrant
It's suppression. If so, prohibition is
justified. If not, there is ground for the
repeal OF prohibition, but not for COM
pelling unwilling citizens to engage in
the liquor business. To require ship
