ENDORSES DRY AMENDMENT

Sam G. Bratton, judge of the Supreme
Court of New Mexico, talked straight
from the shoulder in his endorsement of
the Eighteenth Amendment. He says:
believe The Eighteenth Amend
ment is sound in theory, and should
not be repealed or modified. readily
concede that it is not being as rigidly
enforced as it should be, but this is
no reason for repeating the law. If
the theory of any law is sound it
should not be repealed because it is
not enforced. No law can be contin-
ually enforced without public senti-
ment in its favor. The remedy for
this lack of enforcement is, not to re-
peal the law, but to create sentiment
in its favor, and that should be the
admitted duty of all good citizens.

WHERE PROHIBITION HELPS

Word comes from the state of Della
ware that it is producing the largest and
most profitable crop of strawberries in its
history. Never before did the farmers
have such a yield and never before did
they receive such prices. Most of these
strawberries are bought mainly by manu-
facturers of fruit juices and from ice
cream makers, the demands for the fruit
from both sources having increased more
than 1000 per cent since the Eighteenth
Amendment became effective. The crop
in Delaware this year is estimated to be
worth $750,000

Already, in 1872, Herman Raster, edi-

SO heralded.
In 1875, at Cincinnati, the United States
Brewers Association adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:

Butler is that he is encouraging those
who are intent upon multiplying part of

In reply to his inference that the op-
position to his proposal comes from peo-
pie of Glow mentality and disordered
minds" it is only necessary to remind DR..
Butler that he stands practically alone
among the college presidents of the
United States in his position. The reply
of DIR. Eliot, president emeritus of Harv-
ard, perhaps received the largest circu-
lation through the press of any reply that
was made to DR.. Butler.
In the same New York dispatch DIR.
Butter suggests movement for ref
erendum vote in several of the states on
the question of the repeal of the Eight
zenith Amendment. He prefaces this sug-
gestion with the following:
Appeals to Public Opinion
All suggestions to enlist the sup
port of one of the national political
parties in bringing about this reform
(repea1 of the Eighteenth Amend
ment) are futile and impractical
Neither party has ever dared to men
ton prohibition in its platform during
the years when the movement to
bring it about was under way and no
party would dare to mention it while
the movement to repeal the Eighteen
Amendment is under way Public
opinion could compel this action
without troubling itself about po
htical platforms.
If there is such an overwhelming senti-
ment in favor of the repeal of the Eight
zenith Amendment, why is it that no po-
litical party would dare to mention the
repeal proposal in its platform? If DIR.
Butler has correctly estimated the ,senti-
ment of the country, repeal proposal
in party platform would be the most
popular proposal that could be made and
would give such party sweeping victory.

SOME FACTS TIL
It is we'll to keep the record of events
straight but there are certain facts be-
longing to it that the vets are always
seeking to hide and ignore.
For instance, when Hon. Henry w.
Blair, in 1876 as a representative in Con-
gress from New Hampshire, introduced
the first joint resolution to amend the
Constitution and prohibit certain phases
of the liquor traffic, he aimed it specii-
cally at distilled alcoholic Intoxicating
liquors." 1t was to take effect ten years
after ratification" Under it there would
have been freedom to make and deal in
wines and beers, unless they should be
prohibited by a state within its own jur-
isdiction. In other words, it would have
allowed just what Al Smith, Nick Butler
and the mass of the vets are now trying
TO get by amendment of the Nostead
Act.
But then, in 1876 and always after
ward, they secuted at such plan of pro-
hibition and were powerful enough in the
congress to prevent even a committee re-
port upon the proposition, until in 1890
q senate committee unanimously recon-
mended the submission of the amend
ment, but could not command action
upon its report.
mol mol |" the brewers and beer-seli-
ers said, I'VE don't want prohibition of
THEY TRIED TO PRO
These brewers would have us forget
that in 1884 they tried to constitutionally
prohibit prohibition.
On January s, 1854, Hon. Pete Deus
ter, brewery congressman from Wiscon-
sin, introduced House Resolution No 90,
proposing an amendment to the Consti-
tuition to prevent Congress or the legis-
lature of any state or territory enacting
~any law prohibiting or abridging the
manufacture or sale of any article or
merchandise composed or prepared in
whole or in part of any product of the
soil"
1t was read twice referred to the Ju-
dietary Committee and never afterward
heard from. But, what do you think of
that as an effort to constitutionally pro-
hibit any sort of governmental Interior
ence with the manufacture and sale of
liquors and beers made from products of
the soil?"
Also, when the Hobson resolution for
= national prohibition amendment was up
for vote in the House in 1914, we all
remember how hilariously the vets ridi-
luled it because of the for sale" qualif-

Not All Mentally Low

Surely DIR. Butler does not wish to give
the impression that the people who are
opposed to notification of the Eighteenth
Amendment are all people of low mental
ity and disordered minds. 1t is to be re-
GREETED if DR.. Butler received any abusive
letters. OF course abuse is not argu-
ment. Those who insist upon observ-
ance of the Eighteenth Amendment as
long as it is a part of the Constitution
and who oppose any plan of modifying
the law that makes that amendment oper-
alive, do not depend upon abuse for argu-
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-06-13

In a New York news dispatch undel
date of June S, DR.. Butler bitterly com
plains about what he terms the "abusiv,
letters" he has received from people wht
disagree with his attitude toward tn,
Amendment and the VolsteaC
act. He says:
Perhaps the most depressing fea-
ture of my huge correspondence ON
this subject was the very large pro-
portion of letters in criticism of my
position that were plainly written by
persons of low mentality or of dis
ordered minds. Many of these let
tiers were vulgar and abusive in the
extreme even when written from
what the writer's asserted to be the
standpoint of Christian morality.
Anything more Christian, in-
temperate and immoral then the con-
troversial methods of the Anti-Saloon
League and its hosts of paid prop
agandists and hired lobbyists, can not
be conceived. Not being able to
make any reply to my argument they
have from the first wilfully and
maliciously misstated and misrepre-
sented it, and then contented them
selves with personal abuse, much of
which was quite unworthy of gentle
men say nothing of Christian
ministers.
