Alcohol the Real Murderer

Ten persons were killed and 81 injured when a freight
train backed into grade crossing i'll Chi
cago November 2 The ordered the tower
man held in custody pending the inquest Two physi-
clans testified that the tower showed signs of being
intoxicated and he himself admitted having taken "a few
drinks" earlier i'll the evening.
1t is hardly within the range or possibility that the
tower drank liquor legally procured Such liquor
would have be liquor acquired by him before the Vol
stead law into operation almost five years ago. If
it home brew manufactured by himself which he
drank he guilty of violating the national and state
dry law If he purchased the booze from boot
logger the who made it and the bootegger who
sold it equally guilty with him. If it develops that
the tower drunk had been drinking the
maker and the seller of this illicit booze guilty of
murder.
1t will avail the enemies of prohibition nothing to at
tempt charge this crime the prohibition law, 1t is
the law which is at fault but violation of the law
which caused the damage 1t emphasizes the fact that
liquor whether manufactured and sold illegally legally
i a Had the liquor which figures in this trag
edy been purchased licensed saloon bar it would
have been just potent in its ability to befuddle the
brain of the tower and to impair his judgment
The tragedy calls not for the letting down of the pro-
hibiton bars making liquor more easily accessible but
for the rigid enforcement of the prohibition law
Ii the physicians testimony is correct alcohol is the real
murderer in this case.

in the tide of prohibition The policy, it said,
had proven dismal failure in the Dominion wherever
tried.
All this coupled with wet stories to the effect,
first, that both of the major political parties in
the United States would declare Tor modification of the
prohibition laws, and perhaps. nominate presiden-
tia candidates. and second, that there such pop
ular demand for beer aand wine make the
election OF congress pledged TO liberalize the law.
All this good for foreign wet consumption, and
consumed with much gusto and enjoyment as
deectabe piece OF cheese by undisturbed
But the political parties made no wet platform dec
larations and nominated standard bearers. Nom
inees for Senate and House WERE instances dry
Then Ontario and voted retain its temperance
act And then, November 4, the people OF the United
States, by heavy maories, decided to elect Congress
dryer than ever
Looks to up tree as If wet forccasers of the
earth should withdraw themselves into hole somewhere
and pull the hole in after them The election in Ontario
has paved the way for dry Dominion, and the election
in the United States has shown tie world that the leader
of the nations is satisfied, and abndany satisfied with
prohibition.

It's Dryer Than Ever

All along the line of the prohibition fight in America
with registration of advances for temperance
FORM the opponents of such reform refused accept the
situation. AS each advance made, they declared
that it all very WE'LL but that at the next opportunity
for the recording of public sentiment, the tide
to turn.
Even with the adoption of constitutional prohibition
the hope of the opposing forces kept vernal The time
would come, they said, when the people would rise up
and put prohibition The to that declaration
has been registered in every session of Congress-
executive action every Supreme Court pronouncement
every election and the situation is that America is dryer
than before.
Preceding the election just passed. the vets saw,
claimed they saw unmstakable ground swelling for
lberalzing the Volsead act But when the votes
counted, it found that Congress dryer than
ever and that the drys have made gain of four Sena
tors and twelve Representatives
Why, here is the truth of the whole matter: First
America would have had prohibition unless the
people wanted it. Second, if the people fooled
themselves into adopting something they did not want
though they thought they wanted it, they would imme-
diaey have turned about and cast the undesirable thing
Instead, however they keep up what in such sit
uaton would be incredibly foolish thug-the cleo
ton of dry lawmakers and executives.

Free Advice to Fred

Fred Wentworth in the New York World says:
Prohibition has given stale orange juice at 10
glass instead of wholesome beer, compelled
us to pay 81 quart for whisky, made the nation
morose and disconnected and if revolution does come
can blame it on the kill-joys and fanatics. Are
we a nation of mlksops patiently endure this
tyranny?
Well Fred, here's our advice and it is free Go to a
doctor and get something for your liquor diseased liver
Take hypodermic injection of oil of patriotism. if you
not helped, do without your %00-a-quart whisky
your money, ship for country where you have
personal liberty make full-edged drunkard of your
self-and be and buy one-way ticket.
