THE PRESIDENT TACKLES
PROHIBITION
Editorial

Instead of making enforcement of
the prohibition law political issue,
the editor of the Independent would
have drinking made a moral issue. His
opinion is:
The following proposition must be
put squarely up to the public-drink-
Either drinking is heinous sin, or
we have been rather absurd to get the
Constitution all stirred up over a pee
cadillo. Assuming, then, that drink
ing is heinous sin, and recognizing
the fact that Governors and prosecut-
ing attorneys and judges are frequent
ly guilty of it, would not sermon
from President Coolidge be highly
proper?
There is not a sincere citizen in this
country who would not wish to see the
Volstead Act made moral issue,
whether he actually believes in prohi-
bition or not.
If through the leadership of the
President the country can be divided
into two camps-those who believe

PROHIBITION AND MOTORS
Dry Country has Increased the Num-
Der of Automobiles

E. M. Miller statistician OF the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of New
York City, has published an interest
ing analysis of several phases of the
motor vehicle development in America
He is an authority on this subject
Mr.. Miller was asked if prohibition
exercised any appreciate effect upon
automobile sales, and in answering the
question, Mr. Miller made it plain
that he believes that this economic
factor is OF sufficient importance tc
deserve more attention than it has
heretofore received. On this point he
said:
Expenditures on drink never
constituted a proportion of the
total income of the wealthy suffi-
cient to exert any marked effect
on their OUTLAWS in other direc-
tons, but among worlSmen the
situation was far otherwise.
Whether the many estimates of
what the annual drink bill was
prior to prohibition were or were
not accurate, the figures of the
United States Census of Manu-
facturers of 1914, the last before
the national prohibition legislation
became effective, are not open to
argument, and they show that the
factory value of alcoholic, malt
and vinous liquors produced in the
United States in that year was
$666,000,000. The actual cost to
the consumer was of course great
" in excess of this. The mere
application of the money formerly
spent on drink to the purchase and
upkeep of automobiles would ac- )
count for large share of the an
nual national expenditure on
them.

PROHIBITION AND LAW enforcement
Reviewed by Emma L. Transeau)

that drinking is sin and those who hold
the contrary view, then we shall
shortly know where we stand. If the
President doesn't believe that drink
ing is sin, but is merely urging the en-
forcement of the law, because it is law,
then we can predict for him nothing
but ignominous failure.
Unless the editors conception of
Sin is much broader than most peo-
pie regard it, one must doubt his state
ment that there is not sincere citi-
zen in this country who would not
wish to see the Volstead Act made a
moral issue, whether he actually be-
leves in prohibition or not
The modern conception of the use
of alcohol as beverage is that it is
detrimental to the average drinker,
physically, intellectually and morally,
to the happiness and welfare of his
family, and consequently to the COM
munity; that it is opposed to public
health in the same way as are tuber
culosis, and communicable diseases
that it results in serious economic
burdens to communities, states and
nations.
If the editors definition of "sin" or
"a moral issue" includes all of this,
Sincere" and well-informed citizens
will mostly agree with him. but will

THE PRICE OF BOOZE ON

By Stanley Frost

A monologue telling OF the dangers
and losses in rum-running. The sub
stance of the writer's observations is:
Jake, he's been rich and poor three,
four times these last two years. He
makes a-plenty, like all O the runners,
but | allow there's something about
this booze money makes it hard to
hold onto. Jake, he spread his every

besides living like ]. P. Morgan. Some

most of 'em. This town would be rich
if they'd hold onto it, them that don't

CHICAGO. May 21.-The winter wheat
crop west of the Missouri River has not
stOoled properly due to the cold weather In
stead of a bunch of stalks there is merely a
spindle. The crop, developing late, will be
subject to hot winds from the southwest
during the latter part Of June.
Farmers are holding only about 10 to 10
per cent Of the corn crop in Illinois and
Iowa, according to figures here. Points that
usually ship corn at this season are buying
supplies to meet their own needs
Wheat is Just commencing to head in
southern Kansas and the harvest is expected
to start at least two weeks later than nor
nal.
good demand for corn continues from
domestic buyers. but there has been little
buying by export interests recently.
Corn planting has been delayed about
three weeks in the leading northern States.
Some of the early planting has rotted in the
ground.
Oats cutting has started in a small way In
southern Texas. While the South is buying
considerable oats. the Eastern demand is be
low normal
